So any update about your Flop Hazard


CC Thorrvik55

He is doing as well as can be expected, 1 goal 2 assists in all competitions. He has Messi's talent level though, just that his team mates can't convert his passes or give him good passes to convert.

Rodrygo has 6 goals and 2 assists though, and struggling Vinicius has 2 goals 1 assist. Both of them have played less minutes than the Chelsea legend though, so something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark. cheesy

Angel Gomes on loan I suspect.
Gomes contract expires at the end of the season.
Since they have refused to give him decent opportunity as the no 10 i think he has to leave to save his career.

This Okadaman, your propensity to stupidity is unparalleled. It's very rare to come across a being with such obdurate folly.
Why exactly are you mentioning me now? Has my point not been proven already? This team was flying high earlier this season and I warned you of a slump likely to happen during the festivities, this happened, it's clear to the blind that this team is still unstable at the moment, so why do you still foolishly mention me when we win small teams?


Meanwhile at the first sign of trouble, you started calling for Lampard's head. If this isn't tomfoolery, I don't know what to call it.


That is a phucking disgrace. cheesy

Agree or not.........

AWB hs bn one of our best player dis season....
Currently I don't see any Right back better Dan him, in terms of defending.......

He was d defender with d highest tackles and interception in EPL last season,...... And leading d way dis season,......

Even Trent Alexander Arnold is only good in attacking, not in defending....

Focus ur energy on disposing Shaw, Jones and Lingard..... Not AWB aka SPIDER
Ok.

If the potential was there, I'd have been willing to wait but no, Wan-Bissaka is just made to sit back and defend. In 2 years or thereabout, he'll most likely be surplus to requirement, I hood I am wrong though for his career here.
If he suddenly becomes the 2nd coming of Dani Alves or even Cafu while here i will gladly chop my L, but you can't give what you don't have.

You also share same sentiment?
I always felt it was not necessary when the rumors of our interest came up. I went to watch his Crystal Palace clips and raised my concerns about his lack of ability going forward, but they said it was cos he played for Palace. Now they say he will soon develop attacking ability......at 22.

The club is not well organized so its difficult to predict, but i won't be surprised if both Williams and Laird are more complete than him in 2 years.

Wan Bissaka is still developing, this guy is 22 which is still embryo stage for his position.
in recent games he's been trying to have a mind of his own in attack and I believe with overall better cohesion in their team play, it will improve.
I think his limitations right now is not lost on the coaching crew and he's going to be coached to try.

however, he's a player that can do really well if needed at RCB in a back three and may ultimately settle in as a CB. let's see healthy competition from the academy full backs though, it can only be a good thing.
I will say the purchase was bang on the money.
A ultra-defensive full back at 22 can never become an attacking full back. 22 is not embryo for a full back, maybe fetal stage sha. lol

We don't need a defensive full back.

We will just have to agree to disagree on this.

1. I did not bring any stats to my comment. It is you who even brought stats.

2. Fred passes the ball between the lines. I see that a lot even from last season. Most times, the rest players dont understand what he is trying to do because they were not used to such. McTominay plays fast. Only Matic and Pogna that are slow. The other day I watch Liverpool, they played slower than United midfilders. Mane even had to drop to carry the ball with speed forward.

3. In your stats of KDB, did you separate CAM from the CM position? This season alone he has played 6 times in CAM


Yes i did. I chose only CM and removed CAM, LW, RW.

Without him, we might be down down the table.
Maybe. But an attacking full back on that side might have created more going forward.

I am talking more of long term though. In 2 years those boys might be more complete than him.

Young is not limited. He is only old.

From that left he was helping LGV to kill big teams. It was hard to predict which area he would go. He still has those flashes when he plays from the left but his legs are weak now. Remember this guy tormented teams in the EPL while at Villa, creating some of the best play from the wing.

But William is perfect for now. In two years, he we will be enjoying him fully.
Yes he is LIMITED by his age. He is not as good as he once was. He was mainly a mediocre winger for us but became a decent full back, and his days are numbered.
He was better and showed more potential at Villa.

As for Williams i wanted a more gradual introduction but the senior ones (Young, Shaw) are just too useless.


P.S With so many good young full backs in the club that AWB deal was so unnecessary.

It is because you guys wanted Young benched that you couldnt see his limitations.

I pointed them out clearly. Only now you guys can see them.
Both Young and Shaw are limited. Early on i said Williams will be benching one of them by the 2nd half of the season, i didn't know the young man will be impatient and start benching both of them. cheesy

KDB only started playing central midfield this season. He was RWF/LWF like Hazard. He also played as number 10, where he had also played a couple of time this season. Ozil is also like that, playing RWF/LWF/CAM. Fabregas returns are high when he is played as number 10. As CM he doesn't do as well. He can also play the false 9.

Central midfielders return will be higher in a midfield of three when one is allowed to play near the attackers like Lampard. But in a midfield of two (Scholes and Carrick) the returns will be low. This is why McTominay and Fred contribution cannot be like those of KDB, Ozil, Fabregas. If we have a midfield of three, we can play Pogba close to the attackers and hold him responsible for those kind of contribution
You are talking stats, i am talking game play. Ability to switch play from side to side fluidly. Ability to consistently pass in between the lines. That is where our midfield is lacking. They move the ball too slowly and end up making the safe pass most of the time.


According to whoscored KDB played 36 out of 37 EPL games in central midfield in 17/18 season, 10 out 19 EPL last season, and even 16 out of 34 as far back as 16/17 season. So that your assertion is false anyway.

And Chelsea with all the Kante, Tottenham with all the Sissoko have even poorer front three returns.
Which of Kante or Sissoko is a creative player?

And to clarify i know the attackers need to improve, but i just don't agree with your attempt to completely absolve the midfield of any responsibility.
KDB, Ozil, and Fabregas have been midfielders in this same league. The midfield has a role to play in creating and scoring chances also.

Then you were too poor to understand the logic. I am using their argument to help them reason the Liverpool case.

If you say midfield makes our forward poor, then Liverpool is also poor. So now you also blame their midfield. That is what I meant.
Did they beg you to reason for them? grin

Your logic is flawed and all over the place,that is why only you understands it. Mr Helper.

So what is your own stance? Would you now say the attack is now being fed by our midfielders considering you appeared to join those who said they were being failed by the midfield?
cheesy

I am just summarizing your illogical stance.

You said attack's output had nothing to do with midfield, now you are blaming Liverpool's midfield for their attack's output.

And you say you attend Deeper Life Bible Church? cheesy

No.

He could have said something like “I didn’t hear the chant maybe because I was too focused on the match, I will have to watch the videos again to know what the chant was about” then continue talking about the match.

This is an opportunity for him, if he wants to be asslicking the board and Ed when it’s obvious the fans at OT are on their neck, it’s his choice and will bear the full consequences when shít hit the fan.

When the fans turn on him, we will see who will be out of a job.
If your argument is that Ole is tactically deficient and should be relieved of his job in the not too distant future i am with you 1000%, but i am not personally interested in whether he asslicks like Moyes or asskicks like Jose.

No amount or style of talk will save him. Different managers have tried different PR methods and it all came to nothing. What matters is "are you a good manager", not whether you support the owners on TV or not.

They have put in many goals recently, may be we are getting there. But they are still not as good as the trio Mane, Salah and Ferminho. May be the Liverpool trio are actually starved by their midfield which you guys praise.
The attack does not score goals like Liverpool's attack, it is their fault and not that they are starved by the midfield.

The attack scores goals like Liverpool's attack, it is the Liverpool's midfield's fault for starving their attack.

Issakaba!

Solskjaer on Glazer chants: "I noticed. As a club we've got to stick together. We are a family. I have to say since I've been here I've been backed by the owners, backed by Ed." #mufc



Just putting this here for future reference.
What do you want him to say? "My boss Woodward is confused, and the owners the Glazers are American aka gums who are in it only for the money" ?

Abraham is topping him handsomely on open play goals.

He can score from anywhere. The only thing is that as he has gotten older he has become more dependent on his left foot, although he still takes penalties with his right foot.

Removed someone that was poised for an Hatrick
1) He had a knock

2) How does Hat-trick help us? It is far more important to rest our most important and overworked attacking player.
