Massively overrated player...Just watched it again. After Bentaleb lost the ball he made no effort to win it pack. He didn't even break into a run to track the player who ran past him.
Should we get our heads out of his arse when he was brilliant against both Chelsea and Arsenal last year too?
That's the shame of it, united were bang average before our mistake. They better make 2/3 more signings before pundits start talking about the title. Never gonner happen otherwise.
Dier has played well imo. Doing his job defensively and providing short outlet passes. Done nothing to deserve coming off...
yeah individual players getting a panning on here but i think its really hard for the 2 centermids, with such a lack of movement from chadli and dembele, meaning for any width the fullbacks have to be too high meaning any mistake leaves you in the shit, the WF's need to be more available and wider, at least till the final 3rd or when we have the ball
You want David Luiz at CB too then?
The difference being that Dier has actually contributed by breaking up play really really well, defusing a number of potentially dangerous attacks from United. I love Bentaleb as a player but he has been incredibly poor, offered almost nothing in fact.
Cambiasso's signed for another team.
It proves how much we need to change away from 4-2-3-1, how much we need a proper DM, how much we need players who know how to pass a ball and how much we actually need wingers with pace who can actually do something.
