CapitalCee: But Doc. Isn't this our squad good enough for a title challenge? For me 85ish points this season my be enough. Fergie, even with an average squad will be licking his lips with this kind of season.
afrodoc2 It is good enough but our manager is suspect. The only reason many people are not confident we would mount a challenge is our manager. The squad itself is the best we have had in close to a decade. Now i am not saying we are going to win or indeed that we must win. However we should be able to push on and at least give the eventual winners a fight for their money. |

CapitalCee: Martial will be back. I always knew that, the key to him playing well will be to put his body in and be more aggressive and incisive.
That's why its always good to heavily criticise some players like Martial to rev him up. Constant praises and excuses will do them no good, i am sure he must have told himself that no one is ready to condone poor performances and laziness. Look at Pogba, he knows that any poor performance from him and he will be bombed by fans, he is playing very very well now. What some people don’t realise is that not everybody has the gift of self-motivation. Martial and Shaw are prime examples. |

Nezzjnr: That was in the first 20mins
I was surprised You have a point. I can’t remember the last time we had this much possession against a decent team. I think playing the extra midfielder, albeit in a wide position helped with that. If we had Rashford or Martial on from the start instead of VDB we would definitely have less possession but probably more penetration. |

I watched only the first half but that was a quietly dominant display. The advantages of playing a quick CB were also obvious. Ole has to chose between Maguire and Lindelof to be the partner of a quick CB. |

Ibeme: You can't lazily assume I mocked Klopp on a forum where you can easily search my name and Klopps name to find out if true. Making assumption on easily verifiable past events is just laziness of thought and deed.
Now the future is not assumption but prophecy. I prophesied and started celebrating Manures UCL exit a week in advance so already failure is etched on Ole this season. I am also prophesying that this is just Manures usual 3 months good form. You are missing the point. Whether Amaka is the 2nd coming of Rinus Michels or the 2nd coming of Godfrey Esu does not change the fact that JM's style of football is disgustingly boring and not fan friendly. |

Ibeme: Amaka done turn to Odogwu within 2 weeks. Just two weeks ago, they were looking for you in barbershop.
It's possible. Amaka is still Amaka. But that does not change the diabolical football JM was giving us. I have said several times that sacking JM was not the mistake, appointing Amaka in his place was the mistake. The fact that i am saying Stalin was a wicked man does not mean i am saying Hitler was an angel. |

Ibeme: No be today nyash dey back. Every season Ole will put together 3 months of this kind of form but in the end things will be back to square one Forget that thing. The football we played under JM was consistently diabolical. 3 months of good football under Amaka is more enjoyable than all the good football we played under Mourinho put together. |

Or what is our business with goals Martial scored LAST season. We need his goals so we can add to our points tally THIS season. Last season’s goals can’t help us. |

patrickmuf: Also, he has to have another DM playing close to Philips cos he was really isolated yesterday as you rightly pointed out.
In attack, Bamford should be a back up option, he had good chances but fluffed his lines... The first idea is impossible. That would require Bielsa to abandon his principles which we all know is not going to happen. What is more realistic to expect is an improvement in quality of the players especially at CB and CF. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 10:12am On Dec 21, 2020 |
CapitalCee: Correct Ole got his taxtics well, you mentioned before the game that Phillips needs to be kept silent and as if ole was listening and stiffled him. Bielsa removed him later and started attacking from the flanks which actually worked well for them, the got glorious chances.
I was expecting ole to bring in Pogba when he pulled out Bruno, he would have pulled them apart. Phillips is the key. He plays solo CDM and the 2 AMs usually leave him isolated as they either try to press when they don't have the ball or cause overloads when they do the have the ball. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 9:55am On Dec 21, 2020 |
patrickmuf: You're right on point, Leeds and Bielsa need to be more pragmatic if they're going to stay up which I think they will because not every team will be able to pick them apart like we did... Bruno used backheels to scatter Kalvin Phillips medulla oblongata. The poor man was isolated against Bruno and a rampaging McTominay. Bielsa needs to buy 2 quality CBs and upgrade at the CF position. With those key moves they will not only survive but improve over the next few years. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 9:39am On Dec 21, 2020 |
CapitalCee: But my God. What happened to Fred? Is it me or he has been very tidy with the ball this few days, and his incisive passes are top notch. Long may this continue. I dont want to be carried away, because teams like Leeds can make you look like prime barca. I like McTominay but it was a match tailor made for him. If Pogba had played yesterday instead of McTominay it might have ended 10-5 cos they are the only midfielders we have that Yaya Toure bull dozing running ability from midfield. Pogba just has extra quality on the ball in addition. Ole actually applied good tactics yesterday. McTom running ahead of Bruno into the box was not accidental. That tactic worked because the other midfielders push way ahead of Phillips, which leaves him isolated in wide open space against multiple runners whenever they lose the ball. |

MRTA7: Not necessarily today. This season our defence has not been good enough. We concede chances and goals too easily. Defensively out of our backline the least flawed is Shaw. The rest have some deep flaws in their game. |

timay: Superior hype you mean. You don't always get players like Bruno everyday, who makes an instant impact when they move from one league to another. Even by any means you're right that Canceido is better, he'll take time to adapt just like Fred did and we don't have that time. I'll take a player like rice or Bissouma anyday over him. Those ones will easily fit in like a glove into the team Person wey he never see play 3 matches na him he dey call superior player  |
