The problem is pep doesn't trust him and continues to run walker into the ground which causes him to make mistakes. My guess is walker doesnt see any benefit to playing danilo and losing walkers pace on that right hand side. I think signing someone like cancelo is important because it means walker wont be playing every single game and it gives us something different to both walker and danilo on that right hand side effectively a massive attacking threat. Imagine if by some miracle we could get mendy fit and play him on the opposite side with sterling and mahrez or berny out wide think about the havoc they would cause the parked busses we go up against most of the time. Btw i like danilo just think we need something different on that right side to challenge walker and offer more attacking threat.

Does it? Both Walker and Danilo were widely regarded as two of the most attacking fullbacks around when at their previous clubs. pep chooses not to use them in that manner for multiple reasons but they’re not suddenly inherently defensive fullbacks.
Walker was regarded this way but i don't think hes quite good enough at it to be that at city. Danilo was not the best at this at real madrid he was mainly on the bench?Does it?

I may have worded that badly but he is clearly reluctant to play danilo even when walker has played multiple times in a week for a few weeks straightSo when did you meet Pep ?

Pep’s not asked either of them to do it in a competitive game so I couldn’t say one way or the other whether they’d be good enough. you may be right, particularly with walker, but I don’t think Peps changed the way we play because of it or would change the way we attacked with cancelo in there.
He favours having one attacking fullback at most in a lopsided attack with others shifting over to create gaps and fill holes. He also likes the wingers to isolate their man and doesn’t want other people taking their space. I think if they were asked to be more attacking they would be more than capable of doing it, especially Danilo. Pep knew what he was getting when he choose them two, I think they’re playing exactly the way he wants them to play and any change in personnel wouldn’t see any significant change in how we play.

I think danilo is a superb squad player to have. Versatile, can play both full back positions, he's even played in the holding role but only sparingly mind. Be a shame to see him go, totally different player to walker and mendy but he's chipped in with the odd important goal on occasions. I'd keep him.
Not good enough? when he plays more than 1 game he is great
Well, he's not good enough to push Walker for a proper competition so they can share the workload based on evidence how much Walker has had to play, and besides not enough competition he's also had injury issues. There's enough concern there for us to look for alternatives.

If Danilo was as superb Madrid wouldn't have got rid of him for €27m asap. His form declined there pretty bad. He came in as someone to fill numbers and be a squad player who can play both left back and right back too. Clearly failed at left, and not played enough on right last season even when fit. If he stays it's fine long as he pushes himself to be more competitive else it's a risk carrying a player like that wanting out as things stand.

Show me the headlines of him wanting out? Has he actually been quoted as saying that?If Danilo was as superb Madrid wouldn't have got rid of him for €27m asap. His form declined there pretty bad.
