Title inbound now

AWB is one of the poorest signings weve made in years. He's just a nothing player on the ball. You can't win league titles with players like him. Teams don't even mark him when he's in the attacking 3rd.

AWB has always been poor attacking wise

Definitely need a RW and CB although Bailly did well today

Liverpool are still heavy favourites but hopefully we can keep up with them and hope for a bit of luck along the way

Mugged in broad daylight.

He’s an excellent defender who has just come back from injury

He isn't at all. He gets caught out of position all the time at the back post.

hes great at defending 1 on 1s.

his awareness is pretty poor (this season).
this attacking sense, which is what this article is about, is non existent

Cut our losses with AWB. Probably get 20m.

Is a great player for teams like palace who don’t need their full backs to attack.

Wouldn’t mind him staying as a rotation player but just too much money to have as a sub

Diogo Dalot is supposed to be playing well for Milan. I'd rather see that lad at RB than AWB when we are playing anyone bar the top 3 or 4 teams. Them are the only games that AWB shines.

AWB is an excellent defender, who's brilliant at, you know, defending.

It's a shame that he can do absolutely nothing going forward for us, which sadly we require seeing as we have no attacking right-winger.

He hasn't played much in the league for them. Mostly Europa.

He would fit in great at a side like wolves playing wing back, but in a back four he'd get destroyed.

I actually don’t think he’s bad when he drops a shoulder and goes. His problem is a lack of confidence/belief. It’s almost like he’s been given the ball by a Pogba/Bruno who then drop off, and because he knows they have quality, he doesn’t dare take the initiative.

Thought Telles started the game really well with some nice crossing, then Traore got going.

But yeah, our full backs are not fit for purpose...

AWB was incredible at Palace. First season in the first team and literally the best defensive full back in the league, he was that good.

Problem is, we're don't get put under the kind of pressure Palace did that season. I really like him, but you've got to play him in games where he'll make a difference, not games like today.

OP I noticed the same thing

AWB is a poor full back for the modern game and especially for a team who needs to break down opposition defences.

I notice utd inadvertly end up creating attacking overload on the left forcing the opposition to shift across to combat this. What this does is temporarily leaves acres of space on the right for us to take advantage of but can't with AWB

AWB is first and foremost a defender. He's being asked to do two jobs because we don't have a right winger.
It might be more modern to have attacking fullbacks, but not necessarily better.
