Biggest lie on this Thread.
Why are you arguing without research like this?

It is one thing to have an opinion about a subjective matter but it is another thing to argue without the right data.

We don't want Fred, we don't want McTominay, we don't want Lindelof? Who do we actually want?!
Why should we try to convert a RB and a CB to DM when reasonable clubs are buying players in their natural position. So you watched AWB and you think he would make a good DM?

You think playing DM is about sliding tackles? grin grin grin

Congrats to Dan James. Hopefully he will flourish in Bielsa's open system. I like the options left for the front 3; CR7, Greenwood, Rashford, Cavani, Sancho, Martial. Pogba is also another option.

Didn’t take Pogba long to notice Greenwood’s finishing qualities.

Ans he’s played with top top players.
Foden who played with Aguero and Kane said Greenwood is the best finisher he has ever played with. Now Pogba who played with Mbappe, Griezmann, and Dybala is saying this same thing.

Chai! This one wey you dey drag one of us, Maka why?
On a more serious note the major fault is the manager's. Fred is not a CDM yet you play him there with our laziest midfielder as his partner. A manager has to place his players in the best position to succeed and Amaka so far has not succeeded in doing that consistently enough.

That however does not absolve Fred and a few of the other players from individual errors of potentially catastrophic proportions. Miscuing a simple interception and passing the ball straight to the most dangerous opponent on the pitch are borderline criminal actions.

A true 4-3-3 with one CDM and 2 CMs (and no 10/SS) will give us better control and make us a better team overall. With the wealth of talent we have in our forward line now we don't need a 2nd striker the way Bruno plays it. What we need is more control in midfield in order to dictate the tempo of games.

For a CDM and Pogba in midfield to work Bruno has to drop into midfield and make it a real 3 man midfield with a CDM, Pogba at LCM, and Bruno at RCM. We have enough firepower in attack with 3 out of CR7, Greenwood, Sancho, Cavani, Martial, Rashford on the pitch at any given time.

I noticed it too. Fred's recklessness in possession has really done a number on our defenders. They are all afraid of passing to him. The last time Maguire tried it, we got eliminated from the FA cup and people blamed Maguire for passing to him instead of Fred that controls ball as if it's lava. Maguire probably hasn't recovered from the PTSD of that incident
cheesy

Controlling the ball like lava. This is so unfair on our Brazilian pastor.

You guys have to put some respek on his name. After all he is a Daddy in the Lord.

Fred passes to the opponent under no pressure and cannot make a tackle to save his life.

I don’t think there’s much hope for him. Maybe a loan can realign his head but I doubt it.

His teammates think twice before passing to him and when they do my heart skips a beat because there’s a 200% chance he’ll lose the ball.

Fred puts the u in useless. There’s no arguments about that



200% chance? grin

Amaka has shown that he struggles with team selections when he has too many options, and this must be the reason why he likes running his 1st 11 into the ground.

Hopefully that performance will open their eyes and they can get a DM before the window closes.

He should be Glad Pogba had to put an extra leg to prevent the ball from entering the Net
That last goal line block was by AWB not Pogba. And that was a different incident in the 6th minute in which he miscued a simple interception to Trincao before he started rolling on the floor picking grass like someone that took Ebuka.cute up on his jazz bet.

In the 3rd minute we were trying to play tiki taka football and Fred looked at Traore lojukoroju and passed the ball directly to him.

No pressure. Plenty free team mates around him. He passed it directly to the most dangerous man on the pitch.

They're issues we have identified on these board with a lot of our players yet they remain issues. VDB for instance.

I don't think Ole is even aware it's an issue talk less of it being a tactical instruction...

Wahala dey be that.

With VDB though i noticed he reduced his off the ball runs towards the end of last season and during preseason. He started functioning more as a CM which is what we asked for.

The guy bulked up and made changes to his game, impressed in pre-season but still the manager is yet to give him any minutes. Only Amaka can explain that one.

Varane is a world class defender
No doubt. The first thing is that he won't have the confidence issues that Lindelof often has since he is used to high pressure encounters from his Madrid days.

I really hope he delivers cos he has been my favorite CB for the last decade.

Exactly grin

He ridiculed me cos I said Greenwood would be phenomenal for us if managed well. I listed his abilities and even posted a video.


The day Greenwood score hattrick ehn…dem go hear am
I remember that time now. I said Greenwood was already the best finisher and people were laughing until Amaka himself said it sometime later.

What was funny was that people who had never seen him play were ready to argue while having zero knowledge of the subject matter. cheesy

Someone that at age 16 had already deciphered the secret of finishing like Darth Plagueis. Barring catastrophic injury the number of goals he will score is dem booku.

I talked about his game during the Euros but some folks here jumped at his defense. The thing with folks here is that when a match is ongoing, you see folks talking about the very issues affecting the team but once we some how manage to bag the 3 pts, they forget about all the issues they had earlier pointed out...

When a match is ongoing, you hardly see Bruno between the midfield and attack and when he is around that position and gets the ball, he loses it because he is so much in a hurry to release the pass...With Ronaldo, he will need to be more a creator, a patient one at that because CR7 will not hesitate to do to him what he does to others...


I am starting to think it is a tactical instruction from Amaka and his coaching crew because why else would he keep doing the same thing and it has not been corrected.
Especially this is not a matter of skill or talent but just tactical deployment. The guy stays so close to the CF that we are almost playing a 4-2-4 formation.

Another perspective...I noticed we improved too and thought to myself that maybe Ole told the players to relax and keep the ball more...
Trincao and Traore especially got tired in the 2nd half as well and that allowed us some space to breath. Another thing was AWB giving Traore some breathing space rather than rushing towards him rashly like he was doing in the first half.

Traore prefers you to rush him or close mark him so he can roll you or outmuscle you and then leave you behind. That is why i liked the way Varane was holding him off and marking the space rather than rushing to make a tackle.
