aieo:
Accusations you say, when judges had declared them guilty according to goal.com ?

coogar:


they all have water carriers too.
oscar + ramirez + mikel(chelsea)
mangala + milner(city)

madrid are almost flawless but then their league is weak. we dunno how those pretty players of theirs would hold up in a league like ours.



or play blind in the back 3 like he did for holland to accommodate carrick in the midfield.

Shirley07:

Those are not his strength.
His strength are his technical skill e.g ball control, first touch, dribbling.
His vision is also sound. But when it comes to awareness of space, good decision making and consistent passing, he falls short. He's basically a box to box CM.
Don't know why you lot are on the defensive, a box to box midfielder is not a bad thing.

SIRcumalot:

Milner was Man city best player against Everton that guy can do a bit of everything,
Oscar's cross to Hazard for Hull's first goal is impressive for a player that can't pass,
If both this player aren't very good they would have been replaced long ago.

PietroRico:
. Théres no way I'm agreeing with you on those.
When comes to threading a through pass accurately when a striker has started his run, only perhaps mata comes close.
There is NOTHING wrong with his decision making and only God knows what exactly u mean by 'awareness of space'

Odunharry:
Val,Carrick,Blind,Fellaini,Fletcher,Mata,Dimaria,Herrera,Young

selection headache 4 Gaal...Only Dimaria is guaranteed of a first team start

what is our best midfield combination??

Coogar,elampiro,Shirley07,nitrogen,sircumalot,PietroRico,Dadehmola,SailorXY

chrisley024:
Which Fletcher

Shirley07:

How many assists has Mata managed for us since he was stripped from taking corners and freekick like he did at Chelsea?
And you forgot the part I said Herrera has a sound vision but that's not the decision making I'm talking about. Making the right movement in the midfield and picking the right player are the basic things Playmaking entails..
Playmaking is basically using the brain, it's not just about skills.

chrisley024:
Which Fletcher

Odunharry:

lol...we knw 4 now he cant make the starting XI but he is still our player..

Aside Dimaria,which 2/3 players do u tink should join him in d middle?

SailorXY:

the one from ivory coast

coogar:


which of young, valencia & fellaini aren't capable of hitting good passes once in a blue moon? milner is animal shyte - he has no football intelligence, he's just there.

oscar can't pass to save his life - 45% pass accuracy in the first half at old trafford. he was that hopeless. they are water carriers, as soon as jose finds a replacement, oscar will be off.

nitrogen:
To be candid, we have many players, geez! And they are good players, Van Gaal's 3-5-2 will fit in two players in each position,

3 at the back, Smalling/Jones, Evans/Mcnair, Blacket/Rojo.

5 in the middle, Valencia/Rafael, Fellaini/Mata, Blind/Carrick, Di Maria/Herrera, Shaw/Young.

2 at the fore-front, Rooney/Januzaj, Vanpersie/Falcao.

And the bench has got one or two youngies, meanwhile, Nani and Harnandez are coming back o. Nawa o!

Abeg, we need just one or two solid defenders or better-still, one defender and one DM, then we can offload Evans and maybe Carrick.

Seriously, this reminds me of 2007/2008/2009, too many players, infact, I see united in second position or even winning the league, bar injuries sha.

chrisley024:
If Falcao keeps being a 15mins player, then we should better release him and call Chicha back.

You don't pay around 300k to a benchwarmer.

Shirley07:

You tend to digest every shit you see on opta.
Let me ask you, how can a player have 45% pass success in the 1st half and eventually come up with 80% at full time?
Even if Oscar had 100% pass success in the 2nd half, he wouldn't have come up with 80% at full time.

Statistically, 45 + 100 = 145; 145/2 = 72.5.
That is, if Oscar had 45% in the 1st half, would come up with only 72.5% at full time, assuming he had 100% pass success in the 2nd half, which is not possible in such an intense match.
So, tell me, where did Oscar get his 80% pass success at full time?

coogar:


why are you talking like an amateur?
a player can have 0% in the first half and have 90% overall in the second half. do you think they do average of first & 2nd halves to get the true possession stats?

if herrera completes none of the 10 passes he attempted in the first half & then completes 48 out of 50 passes he makes in the second half, his overall pass completion will be 80%.




that is not how it's added, madam.
it's never the average of the 2 halves. they just add all the passes made throughout the game.

i already used an example up there.
0/10 + 48/50 = 48/60 = 80%

your own way of calculating it will arrive at 48%. shirley, i am starting to think you are a spambot.

SailorXY:

Wilson won't keep him on the bench, that is clear. I believe van Gaal is trying to manage his return better this time to avoid a quick return to the physio. if he can be fit for the rest of our campaign, there's no reason he can't grab +16 goals.

+ it will be a miracle to see Hernandez in United jersey again.

Shirley07:

That's bullshit.
To arrive at the overrall percentage, both 1st and 2nd half stat of the player need to be added, except if the player was a sub. Incase of a sub, only the minutes he spent on the pitch is used.
You should get your fact right.

coogar:


you dunno your math or you are deliberately trolling.

a player has a poor first half where he completed 3 passes out of 10 attempted at half time. he then gets his mojo back in the second half and completes 45 out of his 50 attempted passes....

his overall stats will be....

passes completed = 45 + 3 = 48
passes attempted = 10 + 50 = 60

pass accuracy = 48/60 = 80%

you cannot just average the 2 halves - that's an amateur at work cos it means you are assuming oscar attempted the same number of passes in both halves.

come - what was your grade in SSCE further math?

Shirley07:

F9.
Now I understand but you could have said Oscar made few passes in the 1st half. Looking at it, he misplaced the same amount of passes in the 2nd half as he did in the 1st half but to the few passes he made, his pass success.

this man stop trolling joor.. We prefer your elampiro moniker... End transmission

elampiro:


You don't know what you are saying. When Shirley first came on board, she picked a hot fight with me over Suarez, Sterling and Sturridge. Then it extended to Rooney, Van Persie and Walcott. At the end, I gave her a devastating bow and she disappeared for months.

If you worship Mata, go ahead and keep worshiping him. Stop associating my user name with every negative comment about Mata. I support Shirley that Mata doesn't influence games. Although I like him for the fact he can dig us out sometimes.
