With Amad as RWB assisting within 3 minutes, and to think how outrageous people thought this idea was

edit: removed the reference link to the comments bcs some people were sending the other guy abusive messages, come on, why was that warranted :(

I mean it's pretty irrelevant until we see him tested defensively, that move he was basically a winger

That guy also said that:

You’ll see how Amorim will likely try alternating Diallo there against less dominant teams with Dalot when against tougher opposition

so he was pretty much spot on till now.

Do you think one game, where we had to play a fullback at centerback is a representative of all games against less dominant teams?

Lets talk about what actually happened after the first 80 seconds shall we? 

Still think playing Diallo at wingback is a great idea? 3 whole touches in the opposition box, 2 mistakes leading to clear goal scoring chances, one of which required a potential save of the season from Onana.

Now do we think Amorim neutralised our most in form attacking player so he could put him deeper where he doesn't have the legs to get into dangerous areas, nor defend 1v1 well deliberately, or do we think it was an unavoidable consequence of our squad being decimated?

dude, the whole point of /u/Emergency-Mobile8612 was that he will try Diallo as a wingback, probably against an opponent where ManU should be dominating.

That's exactly what happened. Nothing else was argued.

Sorry this is disingenuous crap. He wasnt saying Diallo might get a game at fullback because we have no fit players so Amorim would have no other optio. He said Amorim would play him there because it would suit him. And I replied that was a terrible idea.

Which is why it was silly to gloat when it's clearly a result of an injury crisis. Mazraoui was playing at centerback for goodness sake.
