True. For all of Arthur's press resistance and short passes, off the ball, he puts in less work than any of busquets, Vidal or rakitic. But when on the ball, he does almost as much as busquets, just as much as rakitic and loads more than Vidal.

Liverpool will try not to let us hold the ball, they will press the hell out of us and force mistakes. I have seen Vidal when pressed, trust me, you don't want him in that situation. One time he was pressed close to the middle of the pitch and was forced to play a rocket pass all the way to ter stegen. Had ter stegen not been a sweeper with good close control, that pass would have led to a grave mistake.

There is no xavi there to split the defence with one world class pass so what we do mostly these days is to pass the ball around and try to wait for an opening. Control is very important to the way we play. Take this away and you'll make life a whole lot difficult.

Leicester is actually dominating them.

People have forgotten how messi destroyed the best defender and keeper in the world(boateng and neuer) in 2015.

Messi is the best dribbler of all time, VVD is just one of the best defenders this season.

A loss today still leaves us at 4th place!

Coutinho14:
lol I get what you're trying to say but the problem is that Vidal Rakitic midfield is a recipe for disaster, that midfield cannot provide the needed creativity. Arthur on the other hand is press resistant and can also create chances, the real problem should be mane Vs semedo.... good Lord I just hope he doesn't end the young boy's career

airmark:


Who told you that Boathand was the best defender in 2015? Raumdeuter would just tell you nonsense and you guys would just take it as the gospel truth. O ga o.

Totts superior goal difference.

Chelseafan1:

Is our God not a wonderful God?

AmoryBlacq:


Tottenham is seated at 3rd. A loss to united puts us at par with them but we have superior GD!

Chelseafan1:


Airmark, can u stop calling dt guy's name. I prefer when he doesn't have to come argue on this thread. I'm sure i'm speaking for so many others too.

Free baba make e dey enjoy GOT thread until we have another L for him

SkimpleD:

We shouldn’t lose today’s match. The way the season is closing up, GD might come in handy.

SkimpleD:
Lordcat, that 50k is still up for grabs.

But, question is will United leave 6th position today?

AmoryBlacq:




I dey see 1 all draw!
The two teams are useless!

LoRdCaT:
We are definitely leaving 6th position today and we will definitely finish in top four. Rashford brace, Hazard to ghost, Pogba to score. GGMU

ILoveToFuCcK:


I swear if nairaland had a mute feature or block feature I'd have used it on him a long time ago. I'm tired of coming here and having to read endless back and forth about hazard from him.

Please you all should just stop engaging him on dumb issues and his loop sided arguments. Once he posts just ignore like he doesn't exist. Rid the thread of insanity

solomonbrown64:
.....When I said we need to sell Lacazette, my people were arguing with me. 68 - 32 ball possession and yet we have a 100+ striking unit and Vardy had more shots on target than both of them? This is laughable. One of those clowns must leave this season and it must be Lacazette. Miss a glorious chance and then feign injury.... useless coward. 7 away goals for a 50m player. A player only marginally better than Giroud for 50m? Nonsense.

Chelseafan1:


Tbh, it's hard not to react to such posts. He should just stop.

airmark:


Lordfalcao come and carry your lacasera.

TalabiAudu:
I just woke up and I saw Leicester 3-0 Arsenal..

I can't even laugh because of sorry ball is in the same shoes
