Fabio................

[HammersmithR]

You can see why Ferguson has palmed him off to us.

This feels like when we signed the wrong 'Moore' from Villa and ended up with the useless one, Stefan!


Fabio started brightly for 15 mins going forward, but his positioning when defending was dreadful. He was constantly on the wrong side of his man, plus he kept going out of position to deal with things not in his area leaving the left back totally exposed where Dyer had a field day. He was like a little Terrier dog chasing a ball in a park.

First rule for a defender is to always defend. If you can help to attack, then that is a bonus. But he is in the side to be a defender and he is very weak at that. I will not trust him at left back for a whole season. Plus he can't even use his left foot!

Can we pls get a left back????

Ideally one who is actually left footed! I'd rather have Taiwoo.

Sums it up perfectly.

To be fair to him he is a right back but he wasn't great yesterday

[gingerrangers]

Agree.... very frustrating defender, or at least he was yesterday. Huge improvement required, especially with regard to his positioning when not in possession.

Fergie's revenge!!!..........that'll teach us........two goals in injury time indeed!!!

This Fabio and Raphael stuff is identical to the Neville Brothers. Fabio is a RB being played out of position at LB. It should be him or Bosingwa at RB, Traore or A.N.Other at LB. During pre-season Fabio played LB RB RM CM. No wonder the kid is confused about his role if Hughes is playing him all over the place.

One thing is clear; Onouha should never play RB again.

Didn't look good lf he's not a left back then that's Hughes fault for playing him out of position LEFT BACK can't kick with his left foot can't tackle looked very poor?

MH assumes that becuase Fabio is a UTD player he must be good. I can think of a rake of UTD players that are pony.

Not gunna jump on his back after 1 game tbh, he is obviously a talented player, but yesterday he really was poor.

Out of curiosity, why is he "obviously a talented player"?

[Franky Boy]

It was so hard to watch him yesterday if he want running round like a headless chicken he was jumping into tackles he had no hope off getting
