I have seen a fair bit of AWB during lockdown. Tonight in the FA Cup he hasn’t looked any better than Clyne or Ward. He certainly doesn’t look like a player worth 50 million. He still retains that elasticity in the tackle but can’t pass and offensively may deliver 1 good cross in 10.

In fact I think his positioning seems to have gone all over the place since he moved there.

he has contributed to getting ManUre to second in the Prem table. its a good advert for young palace players....stay with Palace and don't do a Bostock. When you are good enough for the top 4 ....join their first team and not their youth academy.

The problem with Awb is in my opinion, I think he's a great defender, for M.Utd and the big clubs, you now need to be a winger and have a high assist rate. That's the reason why Southgate hasn't selected him, and also why M. Utd are looking for a back up, who's got more of an attacking presence. I'm sure they are working on him every day, about getting forward and creating, recently scored his first goal for them.

From a personal perspective I wouldn't bestow "Greatness" on him in terms of his overall defending.I would assert that he is a very capable one-on-one defender and a good tackler but sometimes his positioning is not the best. He does go to ground quite frequently and it has been opined that this suggests that he doesn't read situations or the game well enough although I suspect this will improve with experience. He does need to improve offensively and Man Utd have been working on this aspect of his game. Edited by Willo (11 Feb 2021 2.53pm)

Still young and his rise has been rapid, but to be the modern fullback you've got to create, which I can imagine when you are a defender, can be quite daunting, for scared of losing the ball and being caught out of position.

I have a feeling AWB started out as a winger so it is quite interesting how he's stronger at defending than attacking. I could be wrong, just a vague memory.

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |
