Lol!
You are clutching at straw, meh!
Herrera would even be ashamed using that you are using that to defend his shite display.

Kante can't play better than Blind..... if he's deployed as a Box2Box Midfielder! He's a very intelligent Player, also technically sound.
He's good on the ball, he can mark intelligently and make decisive passes!
It's time for Carrick to hang his Boots or shipped out of Old Trafford! We don't need Kante, rather we need Schneiderlin partnering Blind in the Midfield!
I hope Januzaj is fit and gets back to form, with him playing as RW and Martial LW, it will definitely be difficult for any Club to halt or contain our attacking threats for 90mins.
But the most important thing is; we can't lift a STONE with LVG in charge! I hope we win FA Cup sha!!!

Eventhough I don't see how you came to the conclusion that both players play similar roles but I would say Blind can't replace Carrick. His agility to turn on the ball in tight place is average at best, so is his awareness when defending in the midfield.
Lvg tried him in the midfield in the last 4 games last season when Carrick was injured and he was awful! I think he's found his rightful place in the defence and he's only going to get better there because this is the first time he's played there..

Eastbay:


So you mean Rooney was like Xavi/Pirlo today? Maybe my tv needs servicing.

Bottom line is that he was not effective.

Check his heat map. He spent a good portion in front of the Leicester box. How was that a deep-lying role or #8?

Are you officially accepting that your comments and posts are Gibberish?!

Good you know you're a madt man

Spy360:
They sure sound like yours.

Kagawa10:

Lol!
Only Carrick was playing the 1 in the midfield while the players infront of him were Fellaini, Rooney, Lingard and Martial behind Rashford.
Rooney and Fellaini were based in the midfield with Martial and co on the wing!

Spy360:

Who invited you, yansh face. Lol

Your FACE is like YANSH man!

chrisley024:
Guy, be honest. Kante is currently the best box to box midfielder in epl. Blind might be better for the holding midfield role but the problem is he lacks both the pace and the physicality needed especially in epl.

Hissexcellencie:
carrick, mark noble, danny Drinkwater, cazorla are not physical they aren't known to be pact either but they are good in their positions, very good. Thing is... For their role those two things are not a requisite; its just an added advantage. Talkless of if you leave BPL begin call... Alonso, busquets, kroos, gabi, thiago, dani parejo, xhaka, etc.

chrisley024:
Blind is inferior to most of the guys you mentioned for that role. But I think pace and physical strength would have covered some of his weaknesses and improved him.

Hissexcellencie:
I disagree with that. I can't argue based on those outside the BPL, based on the trophies they've won but blind can stand toe to toe with the holding mdifieldera in the pl. He has that passing, positional awareness, intelligence and composure. Just say Carrick don too do am and he has won many trophies too else who? Okay maybe cazorla, because of his goals from outside shots & free kicks but that's about it.

SailorXY:

The only person impersonating shame here is you & I think shame itself should forfeit that appearance as it suits you nicely.

You have been creaming your China boxers about Kante having 4 assists all season playing box-to-box for a title-winning Leicester but Herrera is bang average barely having play time under a doofus of a manager who'd rather have Rooney in midfield & Young @ right back.

Study the attachments below & tell us how Kante will be that "massive" upgrade on Herrera in attack or Schneiderlin for that matter.

No, see their heat map above, Fellaini was the attacking midfielder while Rooney was the central midfielder. Rooney and Carrick used the ball almost in the same zone.

This is the position Rooney has played since the last three games he started. How can Rooney touched the ball 96 times and Fellaini 49 times and you say they played in the same zone? Rooney had more touches than Carrick.

Rooney 77 passes. Fellaini 37 passes

dmcdad:

So you sef know say you no well.

Kagawa10:

I disagree!
Rooney saw more of the ball because the forwards, the midfielders and even right back constantly passed to him.
Rooney game was to receive the ball from Carrick to ping at Valencia who would then cut back for Lingard who would pass back to Rooney and the cycles continues, probably to Rojo the next time!
Fellaini on the other hand had fewer touches yet still made more impact with his movement and quick passing which were causing havoc for Leicester. It was only in the second half that the Lvg tried to make use of his aerial prowess by pushing him further forward and subsequently, we lost our foothold in the midfield as a result of that.
Fellaini was our best midfielder, then Carrick. Rooney was slow, lethargic and just too predictable with his constant long pass to the wing.
Also, Fellaini didn't play the whole minutes!

dopeJemi:
Rooney was our second best player yesterday though, he controlled the midfield very well and his passes were very direct, he passed the ball just the way I expected a footballer with brains to

Rooney did nothing wrong yesterday, he was a star in that midfield

elampiro:


First of all you lied where you said Rooney saw the ball mostly because everyone passed to him. Rooney had the highest number of ball recovery (10 times) in the entire match, that's for both sides.

Rooney also passed mostly to Martial, not just Valencia. He changed our direction of play at will.

Secondly, Rooney's heat map showed he didn't play the same role as Fellaini. Fellaini sometimes played higher than Rashford.

The problem is that you didn't know tactics. Rodney's role was to protect Carrick while Fellaini was to support Rashford or try to bring the ball down in dangerous area for Rashford, Lingard and Martial.

There was also the need to make the pace of the game slow to frustrate the speed of Leicester, that was another thing Blind, Carrick and Rooney did. Even against Everton, Rooney explained that at 1-1 Everton were pressing us fast and hard, but he and Carrick decided to bring their experience to slow, control and balance the game in our favour. Rooney was not even really slow yesterday, he drove forward when needed and gave intelligent passes.
