This place is fun sometimes.

He's clearly not terrible
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He is terrible. Out of the 4 championship level players we had in our squad at the beginning viz AWB, Lindelof, Fred, Dan James, he is the worst. Just because we have an inept manager who plays him 50 times in a season in spite of knowing his shortcomings doesn't mean he is a good player. Next year this time he will be playing in the championship.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He isn't terrible though is he? You can pick faults in his game and that's fair enough but he's not terrible.

After all these years you still are yet to explain how an inept plays 4 championship players 50 times a season and manages to come second in the Premier League.

Go...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Simpletons still holding that 2nd place (which was is as meaningful as finishing 4th). That's because you folks have nothing else to cling on to for our managers/ and his favorite players' defense.

No, you idiot. It is not a defence of anything. Its a very clear question.

If you cannot answer it just say so.

He is terrible and certainly not Utd quality. I would argue he is championship level.

There are average players for ex McTominay, Bailly, Lingard and then there are terrible players like Fred, AWB etc.

If we had someone like Kyle Walker or Alexander Arnold we'd challenge for the league no kidding. AWB is the weakest spot along with Fred. Even a peak 2013 Ronaldo won't be able to bail Ole out unless we get 2 upgrades at RB/ DM

It's a stupid question. But i'll still entertain you. We finished 2nd ( a million points away from City so that 2nd place is meaningless) because Liverpool lost their entire central defense and Chelsea had to contend with their equivalent of Ole who they sacked at the right time.

Like it or not we have a few world class players in our squad and just like every organization those handful of players carried us to 2nd spot and the rest of the donkeys (AWB, Dan James, Lindelof, Fred) were just to fill the 11 spots on the pitch

I thought Fred was the whancor at United

LOL

Nah, pathetic answer. Look, I'll have a go for you. I suppose there are two possible answers:

1) A manager who doesn't know what he's doing and 4 championship players were carried to 2nd in the Premier league by 7 World Class players. (Except that can't be the case because I know the only players in our starting line up who you probably really rate highly are Bruno, Shaw and Pogba? Maybe 1 or 2 others).

2) You are talking absolute bollox, as usual.

I already know what the answer is, by the way.

I must admit, i struggle to warm to AWB... He's far from the "championship player" that one poster said... But he is flawed, no doubt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He is a championship level player. Period. He wouldn't look out of place in Tony Pulis' Stoke City teams of the past. In fact he doesn't even have the physicality needed to succeed in those teams who for a couple of seasons were a solid mid table team.

He will struggle to get game time at Norwich, Newcastle who will probably go down this season. Horrendous player. My eyes bleed every time he has the ball.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
so he is a championship player who wouldnt look out of place in a tony pullis side who finished midtable in the PL... good fecking grief this guy is a complete b£llend
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Indian,

why did you choose to ignore my comment picking you up on your contradictory bullshite?

posted on 16/9/21

Not read the replies but £50m for Englands 7th best rb is a bit over the top tbf.

posted on 16/9/21

You can call AWB terrible given the standards set at United IMO. As another poster said, he is lot worse than Valencia who was one of our worse FBs. That is quite terrible.

posted on 16/9/21

Not read anything other than the title but I don't think he's terrible. Just that the fee was insane. If he cost 20m he wouldn't get half the stick

If Dalot doesn't discover an unlikely Beast Mode given a run of games and we're *really* looking outside the box at solutions, then surely the hipster move is to play three at the back and convert Sancho into a super-attacking wing back. That also allows us to play both Pogba and Bruno without having the same degree of vulnerability to the counter-attack. And Ronaldo and Greenwood as a classic target man / runner front two.

Probably. If you want to be such a whimsy little d!ck.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Compared to who though. Valencia turned out to be pretty good for a number of years. Obviously he won’t match up to GNev and Paul Parker. But he has been the best of the rest at RB since those two.

Valencia was solid as a RB I though.

If I did want to pick holes I'd say that he, as a former winger, surprisingly frustrated more when attacking. With our team now though I think he'd do well.

Solid with woefully bad crossing abilities, not as bad as AWBs mind

He used to stop, turn inside and pass the ball back into the middle rather than go for the byline for a cutback or cross in his later years. Loads of full backs and wingers do this, it's frustrating as hell (England in the Euros down the right hand side for example).

Best season he had was when every Rooney goal seemed to be a header from a Valencia cross, glorious stuff.

Valencia at his worst was still hundred times better than AWB at his peak. Mind you Valencia at his worst was really bad especially under LVG at the end

I'd be more inclined to accept an opinion if it wasn't so outlandish and exaggerated.

He’s Shiite. That is all she wrote.

Can OGS not get the players trained in their positional duties? Is AWB that awful he cannot be honed into a better version? If AWB is that useless, why is OGS sticking with him? The fault of the team is ultimately OGS's to correct, even when the individual cogs are "useless". Maybe SAF needs to give Ole a hairdryer first so he remembers to use one on AWB and others.
