United should replace Bruno too, cos i don't see him playing Ten Hag keeping the ball taktiks effectively. Plus Ten Hag doesn't seem to trust Bruno in attacking midfield, regularly shifting him to RW and playing Dongo in his position. Let's kuku just do a proper clean up of the team....

ETH does not move Bruno to RW because he doesn't trust him to play CAM. He plays him at RW because of lack of depth in quality in attacking positions. No Antony and no Martial means Rashy in attack, Sancho on the LW and Bruno RW. If not Bruno on the RW you have to play Pellistri or Elanga (both of whom ETH does not trust).

Bruno's position at CAM is less important in building up play than DDG's position. Even if Bruno is also ill-suited to possession football his struggles won't cost the team as much DDG's struggles.

We need to improve in all positions but the GK position is the crucial one sets up the table.

Born-again pseudo-humanists. grin

Laughing when people were dying of hunger and were forced to climb banks to get their own money. Lying on the general Nigerian populace (including those who died during that period) that they willingly agreed to suffer through an ultimately pointless exercise.

Now the pseudo-humanists have found God and are shedding egbere and crocodile tears about the plight of the people. The same people that they were laughing at a few months ago.

We just need to set the record straight for the sake of posterity and history. Crocodile tears should not move anybody.

Good stuff.
My problem now is, with this current Man U squad, they can't play possession based football even if DDG is changed oooo.

That being said I hope ETH will change DDG for you guys, so that there will be no more complains no matter the outcome.

So what is your solution? Not make any changes at all? Cos i am not getting you. Nobody here has said ONLY DDG should be changed.

if we change the GK, the RB, the CM and the CF that is a start. Then the offseason after that we might change the CDM, RB, and CAM. The squad would have changed by then and hopefully we would be playing the kind of football we hope for.

Good explanation why a ball playing goal keeper is needed but the question is still not answered.

Can Man U play possession based football with this set of players once we remove DDG??
Won't there be further individuals to blame?

The answer is in the explanation. The most important position is the GK and should be sorted ASAP. Our GK is very ill-suited to possession-based football. Our 6 is manageable for now. Our 8 is ill-suited for other reasons. Out of our GK, our 6, and our 8 our GK is the most ill-suited to such football. Of course players like McFred and AWB are not suited to it as well but they are not as important to the team

Also, nobody said we have to make only one change per transfer window, but the rate-limiting step in our change to a possession-based side is the GK.

Chris, can Man U play possession based football with this set of players once we remove DDG??
Won't there be further individuals to blame?

In the late 2000s and 2010s when teams did not press like this and teams still played long most of the time, the most important players in a possession-based team were the 6 and maybe the 8.

Now that most teams press very high and most teams play out from the back the most important players in a possession-based team are now the GK, the 6, and then maybe the 8.

Pressing high was the tactical solution to the problem posed by the possession-based teams of the 2010s. The keeper being an exceptional passer and an extra outfielder is the tactical response of the possession-based teams to the problem posed when teams started to press high.

If you think in simplistic terms of goalkeeper saves and clean sheets you will miss the big picture.

Have you forgotten? Maybe because you are living in the abroad, so you don't remember. It happened not long ago.

That time that the little money that people had was locked away in banks and there was no money to buy food or medications. The time when people were scaling front fence to enter bank to beg for their own money while bank workers were scaling back fence to escape. The time that because people could not withdraw money from the bank they died before getting proper medical attention or were starving at home.

During that time this place was full of emojis, memes, gifs ati bee bee lo. I wonder what changed that struck such a chord in people's hearts that they are now so empathetic.

I wonder. I just wonder.

Abia is no man's land bruh.

That your palliative statement was wrong sha. There are temporary measures the government can institute to soften the blow on the masses.

I was in support of subsidy removal in principle but i wanted it to be a step taken by Tinubu after a year in office by which time he would have put in place measures to minimise the suffering, rather than this fait accompli he inherited from Buhari.

Also, there is this belief that Nigerians can tolerate anything, but the truth is all human beings have an elastic limit. If the government does not carry the people along chaos and anarchy might ensue.

I have washed my hands off ETH's decisions. Eriksen had no business starting today's game. That was the biggest tactical blunder.

With regards to DDG, if ETH likes he can continue using him as 1st choice keeper. The typewriter that typed Ole's sack letter is still functioning quite well.

I believe we should work our way backwards. Once we start scoring goals, better midfield ball retention, we can get a better goal keeper.

For now, getting a better keeper with this same players won't change much.

Just my thought though. I could be wrong.

You are right. You are wrong. grin
