First and foremost the primary duty of a CDM is to defend, do dirty work for the team before passing. Secondly, Bousquet is a system player, if he play for any team not Barcelona he will seen as average player. Casemiro beat him hands down. If Jorginho was to be in Barca during xavi and iniesta era he will be hailed to high heaven, that’s how you will be seeing him to be great.
Individually, Madrid trio will perform better.

Is Xavi, Iniesta and Messi not system players as well? What is bad in being a system player?

England Midfield option is stacked. Players like Bellingham could even missed the Euros. I hope we won't regret not buying this boy.

Smh liverpool


0 shots.

Awful awful.. very awful.

Blame Firmino. He is the problem of Liverpool.

Lana1:
The reasonable ones among us wont let lunatics convince us that Lingard is some kind of baller.

Below is Lingard's appearances under Mourinho before he was sacked.

But sure, Ole is the clueless one who didn't know how to use him. Man's even had 2 goals and an assist in Ole's first game before he started to blank.

Don't be surprised when Fred leaves United and start performing elsewhere people will still complain here how he wasn't used properly. Agenda must agenda.

Why is no one selling to us how good David Moyes is or its only restricted to ex players or those on loan performing?

Illimitable:
Facts will always beat emotions.

I said provide two matches where Ole played Lukaku on the wing

Illimitable:
He asked for a transfer when Ole started disrespecting him. Ole wanted to play him as a winger to accommodate Martial or Rashford as the centre forward.

I kid you not, Ole is a lunatic.

Can you provide two matches where Ole played Lukaku as a winger?

iamoyindamola:
Zidane started from their 2nd tier same with Pep

And so what's the difference?

iamoyindamola:
The new trend of hiring rookies and giving them the biggest jobs of their career is just plain stupidity

Barca---Pep
Madrid---Zidane

Where does club stupid?

CapitalCee:
Barca of 2008-2012 did not lose 3 times to chelsea, you may need to stretch your hands backwards to accommodate that number

Read properly

Bombblacks:
There is nothing best about that barca side. Barcelona between '08-'12 lost against Shaktar, Wisla Krakow, Rubin Kazan, Inter, Arsenal and Chelsea and drew against Basel, Lyon, Chelsea (x3), Bayern, Inter, Rubin Kazan (x2), Stuttgart, Arsenal, Copenhagen, Madrid and Milan (x2) . Away from home they where also useless . 6 losses and 15 draws over a four year period.

popizaino:
The goal was not to win home and away but to knock out their opponents. Take a look at how they won the first leg in Madrid during 2011 semi finals, only to just secure a draw a even without trying infront of their home crowd and at the end of the day they still won the trophy .

For a side acclaimed for their dominance, their style of play was useless away from home in the Champions league. 6 losses and 15 draws over a four year period away from home shows how flawed and how overrated their style of play was.

popizaino:
Lol....their passes were never baseless,it was their weapon to unsettle every team.

It was baseless and boring. It was even useless away from home in the Champions league. P

Illimitable:
They were games they didn’t really need.

But for Mourinho’s satanic football in 2010 CL semis, Barca would have won 3 CL titles in a row(2009, 2010, 2011).

One could also argue their bus trip to Milan from Barcelona because of the Icelandic ash polluting the sky also caused an enormous amount of fatigue to their players and they lost 3-1.

By the time the 2nd leg was due to be played, The ashes have cleared and Inter flew by air to Barcelona - which gave them a massive advantage to defend the 3-1 lead in the first leg.

Mourinho got lucky with that one.

All these are excuses. Their away record was terrible in the champions league and all their champions league trophy won during that period were controversial. The MSN Barca of 2014 that won the Treble was even better than those boring Barca sides yet no one is calling them the greatest side of all time. It's just nostalgic covering them.

Illimitable:
One could easily argue they were the best team ever between 2008 and 2012.

Barcelona were fearless, they didn’t change their tactics for over 4 years against some of the toughest teams in Europe. Everyone knew how Barcelona would line up and you are still more likely to lose to them.

Their opponents changed tactics to stop them, Barca did not change anything. The trifecta of Xavi, Iniesta & Busquets damaged many teams. They took the same format to the World Cup in South Africa and Euro 2012, every team they faced in the KO stage got destroyed.

Best team that was useless away from home. All their champions league trophy won was controversial. They were a good side not great or best.

Leyqute:
Are you saying that Barca side is the best in the history of football?

There is nothing best about that barca side. Barcelona between '08-'12 lost against Shaktar, Wisla Krakow, Rubin Kazan, Inter, Arsenal and Chelsea and drew against Basel, Lyon, Chelsea (x3), Bayern, Inter, Rubin Kazan (x2), Stuttgart, Arsenal, Copenhagen, Madrid and Milan (x2) . Away from home they where also useless . 6 losses and 15 draws over a four year period.

popizaino:
Yes they are the greatest side. ...not even arrigo sachi's Milan or zidane's Madrid side that won the ucl 3x consecutively could stand in their way .

I hate that Barcelona side. Wish I could be objective but it's never gonna happen, they were boring. 1000 baseless sideways passing. Not my kind of football.

BikeMan:
Mickey Mouse trophies that Ole can't play in their finals?

Now what does that make the Norwegian Tax Collector? A fvcking disgrace

Put this energy into your team fighting for 4th with West Ham. Thank you

Joezinho:
Efl cup..

Imagine Bragging about winning the Efl cup and community shield. Mickey mouse trophies. How many of those did Ferguson win?

Joezinho:
Mou managed a team that had Valencia, Smalling,Jones, Ashley Young in defence and won Europa, Community Shield and Emirate cup and still finished 2nd behind Man City with 81 points. The best Man Utd achieved in post Ferguson.


Man deserves a statue. Fvck you ole!!!

Mourinho finished 2nd thanks to De gea. What Emirate cup?

TrebleChamp:
Olesexuals will never give a straight answer to this question, instead they will insult you for asking this sensible question. While also bringing up stupid stats of how he has the most clean sheet, the most away win and the most overall winning ratio etc. You watch Bielsa, Brendan Rodgers and you see how their teams play, even the much hated Jose has a style of play. We go alrite....

What is Biesla and Brendan Rodgers pattern of play? Tell us here.

eph12:
I can easily see when one is trying everything for the team or when one is just feeling himself. Of what use is the talent when you're not ready to run for the team?

Once again, I'm only defending Fred because he gets blamed for the failures of the team. His contribution is written off and excuses that you make for others are placed under the microscope as long as it's Fred.

So basically you are defending one of the worst player in the squad due to pity?

handelex:
You lots are funny. You guys will argue and insist the only Taktiks Ole knows is Counter attack. While then are you asking what pattern of play the team deploys under Ole?

The person you are quoting doesn't even know the meaning of pattern of play. Ask him what pattern of play does Leeds and Brighton play with he won't say anything.

patrickmuf:
Some clowns will log in with their alternate and quote me knowing too well I wouldn't respond to their recognized moniker...

You watch Manchester City, Liverpool, Leeds United, Brighton etc yet you are asking me to mention teams with a distinct style of play...

You said pattern of play please stick to it. What is Brighton and Leeds pattern of play? Explain

patrickmuf:
Registered February 22, 2021...What's your recognized moniker here? I want to be sure if it's really worth it...

Answer my questions. Thank you

patrickmuf:
There's an international break coming up yet Ole decided to rest players, for what reason exactly?

This is me not wanting to talk about how we should be winning that game even with the players that took to the field of play...I keep asking, what pattern of football do we play? It's been 2 years now but we still don't have a distinct pattern of play...

I wouldn't mind if Ole was unearthing gems whilst struggling to win a trophy but no, even Greenwood seems not to be improving at the rate we expected...

What is a pattern of play? Explain and then highlights two clubs and their pattern of plays. Thank you in advance.

Trevor012:
Aston villa fans will not be even compare jack Grealish who has been the best Midfielder in the league this season to Kdb but one Capital L is here comparing a penalty and sideways pass merchant to Kdb. Na ment na

2nd best Midfielder not best.

CapitalCee:
De gea is a United legend. I would have ignored this, but not allow you misinform others.

How is De gea a United legend?

Trevor012:
I will like to know the Opinion of those calling Messi an Argentine legend some days back on this

De gea has won nothing notable at United to be considered a legend.

CrystalTiger:
E sure me die say that snail wearing 9 never reach 70goals..

Martial has 78goals for United.

TrebleChamp:
Is Dean really mentally ready to become United number 1? Make his case to go be like Ben Foster own, Ben was doing well as second choice. He was given the chance to be number 1, but the pressure consumed him. He went on to become one of the best EPL goalkeeper with Westbrom. If Dean can handle the pressure, he will most definitely become one of the best Goalkeeper in the League....

I actually don't know the level henderson has shown that makes people want him to start for us. If De gea is not good enough then go for another top level goalie. Henderson is not better than Nick Pope and I won't even want him to be United first choice talkless of Henderson. Tim Howard, Ben Foster and even Tomasz Kusczak are examples of quality keepers who have crumbled under the weight of being united number 1.
