With the highlights I have seen from Garner, if he adds more weight, he will do a good job at CDM for United, but he looks slow though.
He is not the quickest but i think his pace is adequate. That is the one position where one does not have to be a speedster. I am more interested in him getting stronger and also understanding the game better.

Doc, Scott messed up. There were some games they deserved to win and ended up losing. This tells more about his mentality as a manager.
Scott Parker might be a limited coach but the squad was also limited.

You no see how Smalling was doing Ring-a-ring-a-rosies?
The Serie A legend was following the ball all over the pitch like a zombie chasing live humans, all the while leaving big gaps in the defence wide enough for an ocean liner to sail through.

The guy has flopped on loan, all vibes no end product.
The guy who has had the best loan is James Garner.

Watford were playing him at CM but he still started okay despite their diabolical football. However he lost his place when they changed managers and he moved to Nott Forest where he has been great as a CDM.

I would not mind a mid-table EPL loan for him next season. What he does not need is to be recalled and glued to the bench.

I think Mejbri's teammates should do more in that aspect.
If the opposition know there are about 3/4 of Mejbri's teammate who'd return tackles with equal or more brutal valor, then maybe they'd think twice subsequently.
It doesn’t work like that. We are trying develop footballers and build careers while some of those clubs are trying to develop bricklayers and destroy careers. Our players need to get used to playing football not hacking.

The onus is on the coaches to protest and on the club to make a formal complaint. The quality of officiating at that level is criminal though. The boy needs to be sent on loan or promoted. The only thing he can acquire from 1 more season there is a career ending injury.

Leyqute, Fulham has been relegated!

We talked about this when the season started yeah?
After their first game I knew they would be relegated. They were the most relegation sure team right from the onset.

Na surely ment for this street Sha

I guess we should have kept sanchez, young and darmain so we could win the premier league, but again, why didn't mou win the league with them. cheesy
When it comes to Amaka some people abjure logic and sound reasoning. Serie A is not EPL.

The fact that Sanchez, Darmian and Ashley Young are in that picture should be enough cause for pause.

Those players were already dropping disaster class even before Amaka came so I don’t understand what the fuss is about.

That is how they were hyping Smalling until we faced him and our forwards dragged him all over the place like an Ileya ram.

League that the immobile Immobile is one of their most dynamic strikers. Talking about Dortmund, Immobile the Serie A legend is the only Dortmund striker to flop badly in the last decade.
He flopped in Bundesliga and flopped in La Liga only to come back and tear 29 league goals and 36 league goals in Serie A.

That league is a joke. Congrats to our ex-players for dominating that farmer’s league but the club made the right decision to offload them. We don’t play in a farmer’s league.

the difference between Sancho and Greenwood is not worth throwing up to GBP50m on the former. In two years' time, Greenwood will give better output than Sancho.

Don't be carried away by what you see in Dortmund. Kagawa and Mkitaryan comes to mind.
Greenwood is a striker not a right winger. To get the best out of him we need to move centrally at some point. We can buy Sancho for the RW and move Greenwood centrally to be Cavani’s back up.

I have always liked Sancho right from the academy games to the Under-17 World Cup. I think he is the real real. Lewandowski, Aubameyang, and Gundogan were also at Dortmund, so everybody’s case is different.

Assuming as we're playing Mcfred we're not conceding goals. I'll say that are working. But both players will be on the field and opponent will still have easy access to our defense, it's not supposed to be
They are both orogbo midfielders. There is no solid benefit to playing them.

cavani is shyte!
[b][/b]chicharito is better than him - the only player in that french league we should be getting is alexandre lacazette.

he's the best all rounder striker in europe. he's still very young & so he can be modified to suit any tactical approach. i dunno why LVG isn't even paying him any attention.

If only this guy was here to defend himself.

If we win today we all but seal Top 4. A win gets us to 70 points and the best West Ham can get to is 70 points but we have a far better goal difference. It is better we seal Top 4 today and also dent Liverpool's chances on Thursday. Whatever happens against Leicester happens. I have no beef with them.
patrickmuf:
So, you'd be okay if we get pummeled by Leicester?

I would have preferred more of the bench players take to the field today whilst a mixed team takes on Leicester and then we go full force on Liverpool...

Away from the rivalry sha I'd rather Liverpool finishes 4th instead of Leicester...

Is it against Leicester and Liverpool this man wants to rest some players?

Even if Bruno wants to play everyday, it is the duty of the manager to protect him. See how Pep is protecting his key men, he knows he can't risk them at this stage but Ole will start Bruno, Maguire, Lindelof and Wan-Bissaka every match day and then you want the likes of Williams, VDB, Bailly, Tuanzebe and Telles to look sharp whenever they're called upon?

At least rest some key players as our fixture list is tight.
You guys should relax. The smart thing to do is to alternate strong and weak teams, so strong team today, weak team against Leicester, and strong team against Liverpool.
There is no point resting players today then playing the strong team against both Leicester and Liverpool.

McNeill is just a born scorer, 22 goals for the season. He was quiet for majority of the first half but scored with his first sniff at goal.
McNeill scores his 2nd, from the spot. 6-1.

Doc, do they have better players in their academy? Are we slightly overrating our academy players compared to theirs? Sancho and Foden tops our recent products...
They have better squads. Remember that Under-18 and Under-23 is not about titles but about player development, hence there is no 1st team. Hence whenever rotation takes place they maintain their quality while ours drops. In particular we have very few good defenders in our entire youth set up.

For the Under-23s in terms of attacking quality for instance our best players are about the same level as City's players but once you go past our best 2-3 players they have the edge. Also their players are a bit older and more seasoned than ours. Our Under-23 defense has been a joke.

For the Under-18s our players are about as good as theirs IMO. Our recruitment for this under-18 was really good.

Manchester City about to win the Premier League title, Premier League 2 (Under-23) title as the Under-18 Premier League North title. O wrong nau!!!

Only our under-18s can stop them but that is not looking likely.

He will field a strong side against Liverpool, Liecester are the ones to benefit
I agree that should be the way. Strong against Villa, weak against Leicester, strong against Liverpool, weak against Fulham. We just need 4 points from 5 games to seal top 4. At this point that final is more important.

For me let us beat what is in front of us, once we are sure of champs league footy, I don mind seeing fish in defence and elanga in attack against pool, Leicester et al.
Fish has been so poor this season it is not funny. He has been like a Fish out of water. Elanga on the other hand has been electrifying pre and post injury.

Amad, Mejbri, Shoretire, Elanga deserve some minutes before the season ends, just not at the same time.

What OGS said Doc...

"Someone might not happy with my team selection for one or two games because it might affect whoever gets into CL. That’s not my problem. I don't know how you can defend playing these three games in such a short space of time.”
Maybe he is being misunderstood though. He is probably talking about the fact that if he fields weakened teams against Leicester and Liverpool, Chelshit and West Ham might not like it.

He should get on with the job. If he had not soldered Telles, Williams, Bailly and co to the bench for long periods they would not be so rusty.

At all. We for suffer die. I expect some of our players to get injured due to that congested fixture.
Instead of complaining over spilled milk Amaka should make use of the squad. The gap between us and 5th gives him the opportunity to make some changes.

If important players get injured and miss the Europa League final because of the fixture congestion it is on him.
