If EVERYBODY in the reserve team is fit Poole will struggle to get a starting shirt so how can he be ready to start for the 1st team?
It is normal for fans to get excited about young talent but one has to be realistic that sometimes they need time to grow in the reserve system first. Goss is older and more mature and more prepared for 1st team football.

Diademk07:


I rate Goss but I don't think he's ready. He's a bit fragile and slow in the midfield. In fact, he often fluctuate in the game, he's more of a playmaker although people often liken him to Carrick because he sits deep and he's slow but one main thing is he's poor in the defensive aspect of his game.

Poole on the other hand is strong in the air or in any ground duel and has good defensive nous. His vision isn't as fantastic as Goss but he's got a good vision as a holding midfielder.

Harrop on the other hand is also a playmaker like Goss but much more mobile with lovely tricks in his arsenal like Modric. Willock is an offensive box-box CM.

afrodoc2:


Goss is 21 in October if he is not ready now he wil never be ready. He should be given a senior chance for us to judge, if he does not make it he can be let go. He is not quick i agree but his game is mature. Poole is 18 and should be given time to make his mistakes in the reserve team away from pressure. Same with TFM and Tuanzebe.

Diademk07:


I was really happy the few time Van gaal had Goss on the bench in some of our matches before his injury. However, I still don't think he's ready for a Prominent role in the first team because he often fluctuate in his performance for the reserves, how would he fare then in the EPL? His defensive game is also quite average.

Poole is 18 but I see lot of maturity in him in his play and he's got a good experience albeit little. Let's not forget Weigl was 19 when he was playing a first team football for Dortmund. If Herrera could deputise for Carrick, how much more would a defensively capable and visionary player in Poole do in the role? And with a box-box CM like Kante around him, he would find it a lot easier.

Anyway, I doubt any of them would come through now.

dubylhover:


I believe tess1 wants you to tell us where you observed the spatial awareness of Poole..you fed us shit that he was more of. Carrick replacement but after some research it turned outtat hhe's a defender, i remember you always said that you've watched enough of poole..so tell us the matches that poole was a deep lying playmaker who is "Carrick's replacement".

Nb..we are discussing Poole,pks don't bring up tfm or kimmich

Ruudie Moyes already doing such a wonderful job. Sunderland lost again. At home. To Middlesbrough. A newly promoted team.

Diademk07:


Tuzenbe got injured. Furthermore, Warren often play the players in different position to horn their mentality. For example, januzaj was used a lot as a striker, Varela on the wing, Harrop in the CM or on the wing etc.

Take TFM for example who doesn't even have an assured position with the way he's been moved from the midfield, fullback to defence in the reserves.

And are you forgetting the fact that, Poole got signed last season and had time getting his permit?

Lana1:
I no send YouTube. And i've never cared much about watching video clips of players.

Even the likes of Depay and Walcott can be seen as better than Bale and Neymar if u go watch their youtube clips. I only judge players based on what i see them perform on the pitch live.

Bailly has been solid defensively in his three games. And yes he get confidence on the ball more than Smalling. But nothing(especially in the Southampton game) suggests he's a better ball playing defender than Smalling.

Anyways check ur mentions.

I was going to post this from skysports. I also noticed Pogba likes sending long balls to Valencia. Scholes and Carrick used him as a way of switching direction of play, now it didn't take 10 mins for Pogba to figure this quality out. I have always said Valencia's ability to take down a long flying pass with one touch is magnificent and always a big bonus. His only weakness is his lack of aerial duel abilities.

The converted defender went on to supply the cross from which Ibrahimovic scored his winning goal in the Community Shield and played an influential role in Wayne Rooney's strike at Bournemouth last weekend, before a strong performance once again during Friday's 2-0 win over Southampton.

................

I must also add that he continued from where he stopped last season after he returned from injury. Our results immediately improved as we gained attacking strength on the right while helping to balance our overall play. He did very well in the games in Wembley and also has so much praised for his work towards our winning goal when at 10 men, he took the ball alone down the field to the opposition box. All hail him!

The closest thing we av 2 carrick in our youth set up is Sean Goss. Poole has always been a CB, wit his only midfield appearance being as a result of injuries 2 our regular midfielders...

I don check am so no shaking! My own crux of the matter be say you been run bailly down wella!




You know say I don do court case tire for my life so I pick and choose my words carefully when I dey spit about soccer! From when smalling leave fulham join united I've followed his career! Since bailly joined united I've formed a habit of watching all his games against top level opposition (the full 90 mins) to determine what exactly made jose sign him!




The boy is young, talented, quick and seems ready to dab! Smalling is a good defender, I like him but I specifically mentioned BALL PLAYING DEFENDER in my post! With the ball at his feet bailly pass smalling abeg, I played ball during my youth service so I fit no be messi but at least I sabi wetin I dey yarn pass kagawawa10! Season long so we go still see as tings be but that video was meant to show you that e don tay wey bailly get ball sense pass smalling! He is a diamond in the rough so let him get polished!





I'm been shayo die yesterday that's why my reply dey land this early morning! BAILLY till 2017.............

UniqueGem:
Sorry for the late reply. It's @Manunitedinpidgin

eph12:

Actually that video clip was about Bailly defensive ability against top oppositions and not his ball playing abilities that you have been talking about. Unless there is a different definition of ball playing that I don't know.

Funlordjnr:




Do you remember rio ferdinands time at man united? That is the definition of a "ball playing defender!" A.k.a ball sense in naija lingua...



A defender who can also pass, dribble and bring out the ball with ease and confidence from a defensive position! After collecting the ball from an opponent in defence it is not easy to still dribble or search for attacking opportunities from such a position or even to lay a through pass that can initiate attacking moves! Not suprising since he has the african flair thing anyway.......





Bailly does this better than smalling! HE IS A BETTER FOOTBALLER! It seems you did not watch the video in its entirety, but if you did and you still feel he is not what I termed him as, please kindly try to get us a compilation video of smalling doing similar things and let us and the other fans use our eyes to compare......No need for long thing.

All I saw in that video was a noob saibot looking mofo making rash tackles that even seasoned NURTW thugs would applaud.

I think he did one fake leg over and that's it. All the passes that he made didn't reach their target.

You will see why the longer the season unfolds.christineC too.

“I think Eric has a lot of talent. He’s a beast, he’s so, so strong, he’s quick and he’s a very smart player. He doesn’t take risks, so that’s important for us because we know when we have the ball, or when he has the ball, he is not going to put the team under trouble.

“When the opponent has the ball we have a very quick player, we can press up because the space is going to be covered by him. He’s very good in the air, very energetic, with every ball in-between he goes like crazy so he wins a lot of balls. He did it well against Jamie Vardy and that’s not so easy because he was one of the best players last season and he felt very good, he won almost every duel.

“We are very happy with him. This season is so long, we have to keep our feet on the floor and Eric is going to be important but he’s still so young and he has to improve a lot.”

- Ander Herrera

“Eric seems to really enjoy defending. Nowadays, it’s not as common as it used to be – I think defenders in general, around the league, have been concentrating more on playing with the ball. Eric is a true defender. He played really well at Wembley and I am sure he is going to get better and better.”


- Michael Carrick

"He’s so composed on the ball and at the right times he knows when to clear it or when to play out from the back. 

"Defensively he’s been solid, no-one’s got around him and I’m so happy that we have him here. He’s such a good player and from the last few games he’s a very important player for us now as well."


- Luke Shaw

@MuneneOfficial: GOAT. Bailly does't tire.

@AndertonYT: To come to such a tough & physical league & play so composed when he's never been here before.

@Taylor_Conor: Such a solid young talent, will eventually grow to be one of the best CBs in the world!

@Rojonaldo: He's shown all the qualities a central defender needs to succeed in the Premier League. Had a fantastic start.

@Ridge29MUFC: Reminds me of one similar beats who goes by the name of Vidic.

@Cann_UK: Slotted in no trouble. Completely different league and style. Looks like he's played here 10 years!

@Raiden_MUFC: He's a proper defender. Very aggresive yet so composed. He's like Vidic and Rio rolled into one.

@Parny1985: Composed, athletic and packs a huge amount of controlled aggression.

Funlordjnr:




Read this and understand where I was coming from all along!

Funlordjnr:





I no send am.........valencia is having a great start to the season no doubt and I hope he justifies his salary in that position, but looking at his career so far as a united right back he still has a lot to do to be regarded a world class fullback or our number 1! He has cost us so many games and killed so many of our attacks from that position you know? Let's not act as if those things never happened because he is jamming after 2 matches!





Think of evra, dennis irwin, gary neville(my generation)......these are defenders who I use as the standard to judge united full backs, I'm sure you won't even attempt to compare valencia to them yet! I can't forget the past 4 years and I have also posted countless articles of even better pundits criticising his performances but I know say you will still form stubborn and refuse to see the matter from those angles! No shaking.... Valencia is a good squad player but he is not a united standard fullback YET!






Herrera needs to also concentrate on doing something that would make someone in the team also hail him like this instead of ass licking! His united career is currently stuck in gear 1............
