This VDB situation is pitiful...Baba makes runs, good runs actually but we play more to feet. I'd like him to play more centrally...

I thought Lindelof was excellent tonight away from that one mistake...
Martial, Rashford and Greenwood should have scored but they were wasteful especially Martial and Rashford...

With Telles and Shaw, we have real quality left backs, AWB and Williams weren't bad either...

All our players should learn from Cavani and Bruno, they press so well...

We move!

As an AM he can't just be making runs all the time. He also can't just be giving the obvious quick anywhere bele face pass all the time.

When he gets the ball he should sometimes hold it, turn, and move with it towards the opponent's area OR hold it turn and make a truly incisive pass.

He is an intelligent player but he is not creative enough and quite significantly he doesn't get involved in midfield play enough. His stats for Ajax foreshadowed this and this was one of the reasons i had my VDB vs De Jong debate with Kagawa.

He is presently playing like (using an Elampism) a midfield hyena.

He behaves like he is the striker most times

As an AM in this united system, you are the creative link, hold ball and make a pass not just make " make e no spoil for my leg" pass Everytime

That stuff can be annoying to watch especially as united does play that kind of ball.

VDB is a waste of £££££. He's talented, yes - but not suit to our Style of Play at all. He's gonna flourish at Man City or Barcelona. If he wanna excel at United under OGS, he needs to stop playing "e no go spoil for my leg" style of play.
Sebi una say Ole get list grin. Ole added a VDB that doesn't suit his style of play to his list cheesy

Except Fred's leg got broken, there's no way that Ole is starting VDB ahead of MCFred midfield. Infact , he'll rather start Matic sef grin
And to be fair, I don't think Ole is convinced of VDB as a Box to box. He only plays him as a 10.

Some peeps are busy making fun of Mourinho when it's obvious that Mourinho intentionally got himself sacked.

If you were following his pressers at the time, you'd see that Mourinho played those Foolish Ed Woodward & co.

During the pre-season of the season Mou left...he made it very clear what to expect in the season - that the team would struggle, and it happened.


Not too long after M0u's contract was renewed, he started throwing shades at the club. I remember vividly, after the UCL game with Juventus Mou said that Juve's acquisition of CR7 despite having the likes of Dybala, Mandzukic and co was a testament to the fact that they're a very ambitious side.

Not to talk of when Mou realized that he had started loosing the respect, and backing of some of the people at the club, and some so-called Legends like OlE who were constantly criticizing the team's performance under Mou.


It was when the bolded became obvious to him that he started throwing shades at everybody and reminding them of his past achievements
cheesy cheesy
That period if Mou lose any game and the reporters quiz am...baba go begin talk of him past glories as a coach. cheesy cheesy


If you are in this thread and you still don't know that Mou gave MUFC a brutal checkmate by intentionally getting himself sacked, so he could cash out,and get the fvck out of a dieing, ambitionless club run by a pack of business-minded twats, then all I can say is "it's a pirry"

Naive people be in this thread talking about Mou Everytime...you think for a moment in his life ....he ever felt bad about leaving a stupid club

Naah...he provoked and forced the hands of his employers to sack him. tongue tongue tongue




I remember someone on this thread saying he'll support united just the way he supports Super Eagles...no strings attached

With these idiots running the club ... it's just a top-4 business and nothing More...that is why OlE is so comfortable. He said himself that the project is long-term - that was what he discussed with Ed & co kiss

If City had signed VDB, we for still dey here dey complain say Woodward no try. Let the coaching staff work with him to improve his game.

He should play more centrally and keep the ball for a split second...The coaches should have noticed he drifts out wide often and doesn't keep the ball enough to influence the play...E no go make sense if him flop here at all...

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SyIvalord: 3:05pm On Feb 10, 2021
So a Midfielder should be taught how to play like a midfielder? I really don’t understand all this unnecessary debate about VDB.

Instead of connecting midfield to attack and supplying the attackers with goal scoring opportunities, he is always making runs and looking to be at the end of through balls.

Can someone please remind him that; he plays in the position of the player who is MAJORLY supposed to be giving the throughballs, not receiving them!
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dubylhover(m): 3:45pm On Feb 10, 2021
One thing people should know about vdb is that he is a proper product of TOTAL FOOTBALL, that ajax academy teaches their players basically all key positions and roles in football, especially for midfielders,they are above average in finding and giving passes.

Now anytime vdb plays and either of Fred/matic holds the ball,vdb ALWAYS positions himself in between passing lanes,he puts himself in a position where the passer of the ball should be forced to make a vertical splitting pass,the basic problem of that our midfield is that its not really drilled well tactically..its basically individual brilliance that helps us..our players are too immobile that's why its also affecting vdb.now ogs supposedly called vdb and convinced him to join knowing his strengths, he's not a player to always hold on to the ball and dribble,he's the player that needs players around him with a similar level of football intelligence.. Now whether we like it or not,ogs doesn't really have a sound tactical setup to help players like this..
An average Spanish coach would do better with him..I'm just saying that he shouldn't be written off immediately, hopefully once we get a better manager,his qualities would show.

That is why we have coaches to help improve players, their positional play as well as passing...

We all watched VDB at Ajax and didn't notice this deficiency or maybe we just didn't pay enough attention but then, for a club as big as ours to go after a player, I don't want to believe they didn't see something that excited them...It is imperative he comes good because if he fails, it will be a case of one too many failures here...

We have signed so many players who were doing well before joining us. If this trend continues, most players will be skeptical when the idea of joining Manchester United pops up.

You're spot on with the bolded, that guy takes up positions I find interesting but our midfielders hardly ever make those passes for fear of losing the ball (Fred tries it but his passes aren't always accurate)...

I watched VDB playing with De Jong, Ziyech, Blind and others at Ajax and he did not look timid. That Ajax team was renowned for their crisp passing and movement, something we collectively lack as a team.
