Unpopular (AKA fickle) opinion time on AWB.....

He gets dragged too narrow very often, I honestly think this was a tactic when we were super poor defensively, to cover the CB’s and it’s stuck.
 
Pretty obvious he needs upgrading. I find it quite funny some people think he has a chance of making the England squad.
 
Just like Shaw is biggest weakness is that he can't hold a line. And that's really really crucial for a FB.
 
He is such a bad footballer. Just because he makes some good last ditch tackles doesn’t mean he should start for ManUtd. His positional sense stinks, and he has no football skills. Should not be on a top team, and no this isn’t an overreaction to the red.
 
I reckon he's secretly got a brilliant first touch but why deny himself the chance to do a bit of tackling
 
Red cards can happen, wouldn't go overboard criticising him on that score.

But his technical limitations are very evident generally and just as much so today. With so much quality around him he stands out as a weak spot technically.

Tbf we were obviously interested in Trippier, so it's not like we don't know it's an issue. Hopefully Dalot does well and stakes a claim to be serious competition.
 
Thought he was playing quite well until the red.voitbinna very good deep cross that the keeper had to scramble to catch. Also made some good forwards runs. His red came from playing an attacking one two with VDB. But essentially his sloppy technique got him sent off.

+1 It's ridiculous that he got an unfortunate red card, and immediately "fans" are piling up on him. Disgraceful.

AWB is not the best right back, but he isn't the weakest link in our squad and generally is adequate.
 
But but but he is tackling maschine etc..
His technique is just awful. I am saying that from day one. Fb without basic skill like him should never be in team which want to win trophoes and play attacking football.

Buying him was a mistake
 
I'm not a fan of him at all, the difference between him and Shaw is night and day in terms of ability and what's required of a United full back.
 
Unlucky. There was no malice in it. Clumsy and a bit stupid, but he didn't stomp the guy on purpose. I thought that was what happened but it clearly did not. This crap happens all the time and rarely ends up in red card.

Even without the red card, the fact that he’s gotten this far despite being unable to control & dribble a football has always been baffling.

Red cards happen, I’m not even mad about that. But now that we’ve got class all over the pitch, his lack of ability is so obvious. He’s actually wank on the ball. There’s players in league 2 with more technique.
 
It's not just the red card. The red card is the culmination of what has been a set of appalling games from him. He's been one of our worst players in most games so far this season. Criticism fully justified.
 
This isn’t based on the red card but I don’t understand when people say he’s great at defending because that is a stretch, he is not great at positioning and more. He is good at tackling but defending isn’t just tackling.
He would get away with it more if he was great at attacking but he’s not
 
Both Him and Sancho were not attacking well in their first RW partnership.

AwB was arguably better.
 
QUICK! QUICK! Let's find a thread so we can post shit about a player now he's done something bad!
