Oasis007:


Gengenpressing..... pure attacking football.

Like Everton under Moyes?

Oasis007:
On day off but believe Rangnick flew into Manchester at start of week. Rejected initial contract offer from Manchester United but received new terms and has accepted them. PSG playing hardball over Pochettino so United have stuck with interim choice.

- Samuel Luckhurst

The man in your picture resembles Moyes. And now I read he also plays Zonal marking. Moyes players play in zones. The reason some of United players then could not cope. But I am not saying this one will fail o. He seem to have good win percentage even with small club.

afrodoc2:
If Rangnick comes certain players might struggle to adjust to his style. People like Martial, Greenwood and Pogba might struggle while Lingard, Sancho, Fred might flourish. Even Ronaldo is not ideal for his style but he is the GOUT so can't be dropped.

What is his style?

Illimitable:


Regular saves?
How are those saves regular saves? Without De Gea this season, United would be in -20(Goals difference).

It’s insulting to be comparing a serial winner like De Gea to a quack like Henderson.

Until Henderson has a long run of games, you have no point. It took DDG 18 months to begin to stabilize. One and a half season. He lost us 2011/2012 season with stupid errors

Illimitable:


See pot calling kettle black.

You have insulted De Gea too. Without his multiple saves to keep United in the game, United could have easily lost to Villareal last night.

There’s no way your local idol(Henderson) was making any of those instinctive saves had he started. Like I said, all these fine margins are very important and they decide who wins or who loses.

All DDG saves last night were regular saves that even West Ham, Everton, Chelsea, Spurs keepers make. Only one was exceptional and may be another keeper could have saved it.

Henderson could be better than DDG if given a long run of games. DDG was worse when he first arrived. At one point he was being rotated by SAF.

Henderson mistake is that he comes out too much while he is yet to perfect the act. He neess many games and experience to do that. But he is better than DDG in area balls and box command

LostMyZeal:
You playy total rubbish for first half.... can't even keep the ball... just anywhere belle face for 45 fvckin minutes ... Really?!

Then second half you continue playing same rubbish until sixty-sumtin minutes ...omo

This is a replica of Ole's United with saviours like Rashy, Bruno and co

We need a proper coach like now now now

Even a proper coach will not transform a team in 48 hours of preparation. Take it easy.

Momentum is building for Ernesto Valverde

His anticipation and concentration were highlighted in United’s goal – when Fred pounced from Villarreal goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli’s short pass out to force the defensive error and bring about Ronaldo’s goal.

It was a similar story for Jadon Sancho's late second - when Fred broke up the opposition's play to produce the goal.
....

The guy that is always insulted

raumdeuter:

No Peps team that was inherited was no better than Utd team that Mourinho inherited
Many claimed Pep inherited the best team in the league, today we are hearing Spurs was the best team in the league

We have argued this many times before

Searchingvictor:
Carrick made Fred play higher and made Mct play DM role.

May be Carrick will be the better coach. He played attack, midfield and defence. Ole was a striker. He knew nothing about how the ball git to him before he burst net. Lol

raumdeuter:


It was the 2015/16 team that Pep inherited which many claim was the best team in EPL, Now we are hearing its Spurs

It was a far better team than Man United's. That was the argument

raumdeuter:


This was the season people claimed Man City had the best team and Pep inherited the best team in the league

Pep was not in the EPL in 2015/2016

Illimitable:


Matic coming in would lose the game for us.

Keep Fred.
Replace VDB(yellow card) with Bruno.
Replace the lazy French with Rashford.

This is a winnable game.

You know ball for here

ChristoBam:

Bruno leads Man Utd to win the UCL
KDB leads City to win the UCL

Which achievement is greater? Please don’t play dumb while replying me.

But your question is already dumb

This judgement sends a message that destruction of lives and property in the name of protest is not allowed. People have a right to defend themselves and their property against rioters and arsonists

Leyqute:


Every manager is fantastic until they start coaching at Man Utd.

The difference between Rodgers and Ole is minute. Rodgers is coaching at Leicester. There’s less pressure there. He’s going to be worse at Man Utd, with or without injuries.

Inexperienced and tactically suspicious.

We should not be considering coaches like them at all.

That’s my point.

Moyes
Van Gaal
Morinho

Could not cope with pressure at United. The media alone will fire the coach daily. Then club legends.

andrewbaba44:


Young players of 18 and 20 do compete at the euros ,so does that make it an U21 championship

This does not make sense. The age ceiling is not 21. Mike Tyson became world champion at 20. He could beat all the 25s, 30s, 35s ages. At that point, he was no longer in his mate's category because he developed faster than his mates. He couldn't have gone back to be competing with teenagers

If it were the old rules, Messi was not even suppose to go play in the junior under 23 again.

andrewbaba44:


You also cannot change the fact that senior players do compete there .

Senior players also compete in Under 23 league

Does this make it like the EPL?

andrewbaba44:


So senior players no Dey take part for olympic even if e Dey limited ?

As far as senior players do take part at the Olympics it’s a major tournament

You can go and ask Daniel alves ,Daniel Alves is a trophy goat so as far as he took part at the Olympics at 38 it’s remains a major tournament

Portugal progressed under cr7 but they always fail at the World Cup

Olympics soccer was previously for amateur players. Then later it was agreed that players who are from Europe and South America that have played a world cup match at all cannot participate. Then finally the rules now is that it is U-23 with three overaged players.

This is like playing the U-23 league.

andrewbaba44:


Who is Mikel that excused him self that made it not to be a major tournament?

Same tournament Daniel alves of all people played to win it at 38 ? Should we tell you they Daniel alves is the most decorated footballer of all time ?

Maybe you will go and remove olympics from his honors and tell him it’s not a major trophy

It is not about Mikel, but that is how FIFA categorised it. It is a junior tournament. You cannot change that

andrewbaba44:


It’s your confidence for me

Cr7 has won 2 trophies so I guess you added nations league as the other one ,but Messi has won only 1 trophy and Olympic is not a major trophy

You are comedian

Is Nations League a senior tournament?

It is not even about number of trophies, but where they took their respective national teams to. Argentina regressed under Messi. Portugal progressed under Ronaldo

patrickmuf:
The same Olympics that brought him to the limelight?

Neymar is adored in Brazil because he won them the Olympics...

The nation league is a glorified friendly and nothing more...

Under 20 world cup brought him and Mikel to limelight.

Olympics soccer is not a senior tournament. It for under 23 players

patrickmuf:
Nations league is a major trophy but the Olympics is not abi?

Olympic is an aged grade competition. Even Mikel had to excuse himself from that tournament.

As per SofaScore, Fred was the highest rated player on the pitch, despite Lionel Messi starting, with a rating of 7.8 out of 10.

He played the full game and won 16 duels, as well as eight tackles in a typically industrious performance.

Fred also completed four of his five dribbles and came as close as anyone to scoring on the night, with a right-footed strike from outside the box which hit the crossbar on 59 minutes.

Our no.17 has worked his way into the line-up under Tite and performed well again in the goalless draw with fierce rivals Argentina last time out.

South American football expert Tim Vickery believes the 28-year-old has had to fight to make his mark and impress for the Selecao.

"He's certainly not a glamorous player, and when United took that defeat against Liverpool the other week, there were questions in Brazil about picking a midfielder who had been in a side that had just suffered that kind of defeat," Vickery told us. "So he’s not a glamorous player.

"He made his name with Internacional in the south of Brazil, so not in Rio or Sao Paolo, the big media centres, and that means that he doesn’t have a big media constituency. He’s a little worker ant who has to fight for everything that he gets.

"Brazil had a quick look at him before the 2018 World Cup and brought him back not long ago, but when they first brought him in, the thing they really stressed was his physical stats: the amount of ground he covers and the high speed at which he does it.

"They focused on that fabulous engine that he’s got. Brazil are currently going with wingers. Against Argentina, they played with two wingers: Raphinha and Vinicius Junior, and an out-and-out centre forward with essentially a second striker for much of the game, so it was almost an old school 4-2-4 that they used. Obviously, the wingers have to get back and work up and down, but there’s a real danger in that team that the two in midfield are going to get overloaded, and especially against Argentina, who have three plus [Lionel] Messi in that sector and pass the ball through midfield so well, so there’s a danger of playing that formation and getting overrun in midfield.

"Also bear in mind that Fred was playing alongside Fabinho because Casemiro was suspended. Neither of those two are the most mobile, and so what Fred brings to that side is that mobility. He’s got to get around the field, he’s got to plug the gaps, he’s got to be the unsung hero. He’s been doing that while also making a contribution with the ball. He’s played very, very well. When they beat Uruguay 4-1 last month, he set up the first goal with a lovely little pass over the line. He hit the bar the other night, with his right foot. He’s keeping the ball ticking over, he’s not trying to do anything that he can’t do, so at the moment he’s very, very useful for that central midfield, especially so with his physical capacity."

Fred now has 23 caps for his country, one of the favourites to lift the World Cup in Qatar next year. Since making the bench for the qualifier with Venezuela in October, he has started the last four fixtures in the South American pool and Brazil have only conceded one goal in that time, a consolation for Uruguay in a 4-1 triumph.

When asked how much the United man will be involved at the tournament, Vickery replied: "It depends a little bit on what the system is. If Brazil go with a third man in midfield, a triangle, as was the team in the build-up to the last World Cup, then maybe they don’t need him as much.

"They can have a player with a more attacking balance in that case. But while they have the wingers opening up the pitch like this, they really need someone who can cover ground. I think another thing they’ve found is that they’ve tried a couple of other players in there who are bigger names in Brazilian football, but they don’t play the ball as quickly as Fred.

"One of the things he’s been doing is just playing quickly. Not glamorous passes, just knocking it off first time, keeping the tempo up. Some of the others, like Bruno Guimaraes at Lyon, Gerson at Marseille, seem to need to take time to get it onto their stronger foot and then move the ball, but Fred is moving the ball quickly. It’s totally unglamorous, never noticed, but it keeps things ticking over. At the moment, the spot in Brazil’s starting line-up is his to lose."

Fred, like his colleagues, can concentrate on United matters now, starting with Saturday afternoon's trip to Watford in the Premier League.

ChristoBam:

Lol what teams were in Portugal’s group?

Meanwhile, Messi won one cup with Argentina after being in the team since 2005. Argentina can be said to have regressed under him because they won 1 cup after many years. On the average, one Copa America cup for Argentina after such a long spell is a poor return.

Deborah98:
All I can say is be a man of value. Package and represent well. People didn't give him because they wanted to show off, they gave because davido is a giver just like Don jazzy. I'm sure of these two. Giving is an act. Na who get heart of giving dey give.

How many of these people gave to the celebrities who were dying of ailment and needed just N1m, N5m, N15m for their kidney or heart disease? Like Enebeku Elebuwa. Ngozi Nwosu, Muna, Martins Njubuihbo, etc? People gave to Davido because he can reciprocate in higher fold in the future. Let years pass and he retires lile Shina Peters and see if he cam raise N130m in one day.

I know a billionaire who helped lots of people, sponsored people's children to school abroad, made many people millionaires. Today he is a broke, no one is helping him.

donstan18:

How many times do you watch these guys you mentioned to know how consistent they are?

Don't mind some people. Oboabona once gave almost 10/10 performance in Afcon that Nigeria won. Against Ivory Coast, Drohna had to go salute him after the match because he took out Drogba with ease.

hoopLA:


This rubbish is why people need to have psychiatric analysis prior to engaging in online fora.

Sudden Moyes team worth is the issue, but when he inherited league champions on a platter,it went flying out of the window.

If I'm a kindergarten analyst,you the professor of misinformation is what? A lying madman?

Just blowing hot air everywhere and saying nothing in effect as well as depleting the ozone layer and increasing GHG emissions with your trash posts

I am not am analyst,never claimed to be one.

It is only irrelevant megalomaniac nonentities like you who pride themselves as "analysts" on Nairaland.I only say it as I see it,but you an expert of falsehood and disinformation to perpetuate your narratives.

If you think Moyes cost United the title in 2022 when we blew an 8 point lead with 5 games to go, then you're a bigger muppet than was originally intended by design.

Grammar no be by force

hoopLA:

Lol.

You are a clown. A drunk one at that

Finished in top four ONCE in ELEVEN seasons with Everton in 2005. Got eliminated in the playoff round of the Chsmpions League.

That is who you call consistent.
That's who you are advocating for as manager for United as of 2013 and even now sef.

So wait, United played only Everton that stretch abi? You forgot that United also lost to City the following week and lost to Wigan the week before,blowing an 8-point lead in the process.

So where was Moyes in 2010,when we lost the title to Chelsea by 1 point?

Why is Moyes' suitability for United based on one result?

Oga you don't even know ANYTHING,talk less of ball.

You are just a jumbled bag of revisionist hot air.
You lie for a living, Fred Ajidua clone.


You and airmark who liked this post are useless clowns.
If you have any shame,you would leave this topic alone.

What was the worth of Everton team for 11 years?

I am just laughing at you. You think if Guardiola coach Everton they will win the EPL and Champions league.

You are kindergarten football analyst.

Illimitable:


Moyes had played 34PL games before he was sacked. At that point, top 4 was irredeemable.

Jose hadn’t even reached half way of the season when he got sacked, he could have made top 4 easily that season if given ample time to sort the dressing room.

At the time he was sacked, relegation was more likely than top 4.
