Tyrell Malacia (Out) | on loan to PSV with purchase option

[The holy trinity 68]

We loan Malacia out, and now we only have 1 left footed left back again?? And he is new in the squad. I just do not understand this.

Shaw and Dorgu are both left footed and can play LWB.

I wonder if Ayden Heaven might even be an option, left footed and signed for the first team and supposedly sees himself as more than simply a CB. No idea if he has played LB at youth level but that might come into the thinking.

It says everything about Malacia's quality (or lack of)

I doubt shaws ever gonna play LB/LWB again. He can’t run up and down like he used to do. He’s mainly going to be used as LCB in this system.

Amorim doesn't play with left full backs though, he plays with wing backs. Putting a CB there doesn't do anything as they can't do the attacking required.

I understand that but Heaven supposedly sees himself as a midfielder more than a defender, a lot of young players wind up changing positions as they move into first team football and if he has pace and a desire to get forward then maybe he could be an option. We are only talking as an emergency fallback in the evnt of injury crisis which is essentially what he would be replacing.

Bit curious, what should I expect from Malacia as a PSV fan? When he came to United he was one of the best players in the Dutch Eredivisie. And is he game-fit?

 

[DuruttiColumn]

Fine as a backup left back, but seeing as we don’t use full backs there’s no point in him hanging around.

 

[stepic]

It’d be nice if we could start getting Garnacho minutes at LWB. If he can learn the role effectively enough.

He looked PL level in his first season. He looks like he has lost a yard of pace, but could be because he is playing out of position (lwb) or lacking games. But he hasn't looked good since his injury.

He's declined since injury as you'd expect. I think is just a fitness building move

He will be fine at LB. I think he lacks the attacking quality to play LWB.

No can't see that, he's not suited to the LWB position. He could probably do a job as DM at a push.

I think he’ll do well for you if you play a back four. He needs a run of games to build his fitness back.

Think he'll do fine for you, may take a while to get back up to match sharpness/able to do 90mins but think he'll contribute well after that. Hopefully it suits all parties at the end of the season for you to take him back permanently.

Game-fit is a million dollar question. Does seemed okay fitness wise when called upon every 4 games, but we'll find out if he can cope playing regular football week in and week out.

As a player, I didn't think he was very good from the beginning. Looked very mediocre in each and every department.

Will he? 0 goals, 0 assists in 42 games for United.

I mean, he's a defender and there are other metrics. Not every LB needs to be Gareth Bale.

No but you'd expect him to at least get a couple of assists in 42 games.

He will clearly do better than here, as the level of Eredivisie is not that high. If you play a back four, he will likely do well as a LB. Just don’t expect attacking miracles - he’s not that type of full back

He used to be a tenacious tackler and man marker who could shut down the right wing. But since his injury, he has been a step or two slower both physically and mentally. I hope he just needs a run of games to build himself up again and do well for PSV and hopefully we can sell him for a good price.
