Most coaches are just unnecessarily stubborn.

Still don't know why Ighalo was signed as the man who signed him won't start him.

We need goal scorers in that team seriously.

I think Ighalo is still trying to improve his fitness. He was visibly tired in the 2nd half of the game he started.
Remember he came in from China without game time.
I expect that he will soon become the starting CF in the interim with Martial on the left and James/Greenwood on the right.

Leyqute:
Bros, na me start the latest round of discussions on De Gea.



Larride doesn’t think we should bin him yet and he has his reasons.

Me, I’m just perplexed on why he’s fvcking up. It can be really annoying.

I am not even saying we should bin him now but I believe his position should be open to challenge, possibly next season from Henderson.

What i find worthy of amusement is denying DDG’s inconsistency over the last couple of seasons. Unbelievable saves spiced up with schoolboy errors is the very definition of inconsistency.

TOUGH.

Ravioli:
Manchester United lost 4 games in all competitions during the 1998/1999 season. Liverpool have already lost 5 games in all competitions this season despite playing 20 fewer games. ☕️

I believe it was 3 EPL games and 1 League Cup Game. No losses in Champions League or FA Cup.

larride:
DDG and inconsistency in the same line.

LOL.

K.

patrickmuf:
Leno, Dubraska, Fabian ski, Heaton all better than De Gea.

Well, it's your opinion.

My biggest problem with DDG is his inconsistency. World class today, clown tomorrow.

Strikers can be inconsistent but GKs and CBs can’t.
Inconsistency breeds confusion and panic in a back line.
A goalie who gives you constant 7/10 is more valuable than one that swings from 9 to 3.

pharod:
What would you do about Garner? Send him on loan or promote him fully?
He was phenomenal again yesterday...

Probably a loan. Very soon reserve football will be too easy for him but i don’t think he is ready yet for the EPL’s physicality.
A good plan might be Championship or German Bundesliga for 1 season then replace Matic in 2021.

Chrisus:
Or how PSG bought Mbappe for 180m

You for no answer that guy. He exchanged his brain for aboki perfume. Zero sense to his posts.

CapitalCee:
I also think we need a striker that sits inside the box, when Ighalo came on yesterday, there were many opportunities, Fernandez brought 2 in particular, including the one Baines cleared wonderfully. I think Ole would have started Ighalo yesterday instead of Greenwood, and dropped Mctomminay for Mata. In my humble opinion, Daniel James was sorely missed in this match.

Yes. Since Martial has decided to keep blowing hot and cold we need to get another CF. I would not spend on defence for now. A CF, a RW, 1 midfielder (if Pogba stays) or 2 midfielders (if Pogba goes).

eph12:
Which would you suggest
1. We get wide players
2. We get a new RB

I think we're not playing one time cross because that's not what they trained on or instructed to do. They always prefer to work the ball into the box or closer to the byline to cross. Probably because our strikers prefer to receive the ball at the feet.

Martial was just hugging the left side. I thought he would be happier there, but he offered nothing.

1) Rashford is our 1st choice LW and he is good enough at this time. We need to get Sancho for the RW.

2) We can't spend money on a RB again. AWB is decent overall and we have 3 younger RBs in the team that may be pushing him for a starting berth in the next couple of years.

In terms of the full back crossing it is not just about instructions. AWB to an extent and Shaw especially are not confident one time crossers. Dalot and Williams (when he plays on the right) are more confident/competent with that aspect of the game.

patrickmuf:
That he moved is legs is enough to fool the goal keeper.

He moved his legs, but even more significantly he was in a direct line between the keeper and the ball. In that situation he does not even have to make any movement to be deemed offside. The rules state this clearly.

MRTA7:
It always amazes me how people who clearly don't know the rules of the game can be so strong-headed in being wrong. Even after they have been shown the correct info by Elamps. You can argue the rule is wrong but you cannot argue this particular enforcement is wrong.

Dey no know ball. They have been educated so i am sure some of them would have learnt something from the argument (even though they would not admit to it).

ChristineC:
let's not waste pages here please. I want to see actual game analysis.

Lol is that a pistol in Mona Lisa's hands? Is that why she had the mysterious smile?

The problem was not the diamond formation itself but our lack of good full back play.

When playing a diamond you need good overlapping full backs that will give the team width.

One time crosses should be the rule, but yesterday we played with 2 full backs that like to kill the move first before trying to do something with the ball.

Shaw tried to offer some width but he is not a natural going forward, but AWB in particular tucked in too much and did not offer the width that could have opened up the game more.

Our 4 midfielders played well to varying levels, Lindelof was shaky as usual, and DDG is no longer indispensable. To be honest even though he is our most talented keeper he is our 3rd most consistent one. If he leaves i doubt he will be missed but i don't even think anybody will want to buy him for serious money at this time.

raumdeuter:
Vicinius has equalled Hazards season goals in 90mins of football

That's TOUGH.

larride:
How can it be offside when the ball never touch him? He made Zero contact with ball. He knew he was in an offside position and as such moved his leg away when the ball was rolling to his direction.

You don't have to touch the ball to be offside. Honestly you need to go and read the rules instead of dropping this kind of excuse.

larride:
How can it be offside when the ball never touch him? He made Zero contact with ball. He knew he was in an offside position and as such moved his leg away when the ball was rolling to his direction.

IFAB says if a player who is moving from or standing in an offside position is in the way of an opponent and interferes with the movement of the opponent towards the ball this is an offside offence.

You don't have to make any movement to be in an offside position.

BikeMan:
Ball touch your player before going in and you still call it offside, how? Looks like it's not only medicine you don't know

elampiro:
Another former referee says it was a right call. And he says from 'this angle you can see DeGea trying to go for the ball but...'


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeyqeuTgrJ8

I know ball pass you. I know Medicine pass you. Apart from riding bike and being an olodo what else are you good for, you this obtuse oxygen thief?

That was an obvious offside. Nigga was lying down in an offside position in the direct line of vision of the GK.

Elampiro was right. Some of una no know ball.

CapitalCee:
I guess Matic started because of his height. For aerial battle. But honestly i de fear that Calvert-Lewin oo,

Calvert-Lewin will target Lindelof’s area to win aerial balls out of long kickouts from Everton’s defence.
It is known.

CapitalCee:
The issue is, Herrera is at best a squad player in any serious team, i appreciate his passion and efforts, but he lacks quality

Facts only.

Tough

Victornezzar:

spillo1:
LMFAO...Don't be deceived by the media. Pogba is the best midfielder if not player we have and him leaving is a bad taste. Has Pogba actually done anything dramatic apart from his agent who runs his mouth? When he returns he will want to get into shape and perform well ahead of the Euros. Just wait till end of season.

Fara buruku bale. We have video evidence of Pogba himself running his mouth at the end of last season.

Is Fred finally a Brazilian??

Half-cast.

larride:
Lingard don vex for una.

The guy is struggling badly. I wonder who will have more goal contributions between Hazard and him by season’s end.
It’s a toss up.

Skimpledawg:
This thread is funny.

Months abi years back Neymar was slaughtered here because he had injury and couldn't play most of PSG games

Today Hazard is injured ....
