Who are those bringing the CSKA match to this game? Everyone match has its own analysis. What happened in Moscow is different from what happened today. If a player played badly in Moscow and played well today, we cannot begin to go back to Moscow.

Mata had it a bit tough today but he had always played well. Different game different analysis.

How do people watch match sef? Did I just see someone blame Jones for any reason? Na wao for people here o.

Jones had an excellent game. He killed all the threats. Neat in possession and passing, acted as the sweeper mostly clearing the dangerous ball behind the defenders that should have been the real threats. When he went high, he won the balls in the middle area thereby nicking the threat at the bud. Sometimes you wouldn't know if he was the right back or left back as he covered for everyone even Smalling.

MOTM for me. Jones or Otamendi or Kompany. I pick Jones.

simple analysis destroyed your rooney image.

shearer & henry scored more league goals before age 30 than rooney did.

there was a football league before the PL started in 92/93 & shearer had 23 league goals then. henry had already scored 23 league goals as well before arriving in england.

add it to the tally on your image & it's clear that rooney's stat is a fraud. he's shytë & he will never be a world class player that the british media want him to desperately become.
Zero over zero.

he started when others didn't start - so what's the big deal? shearer was already 22 before the premier league started. rooney had a good 6 years head start.

thierry henry was also already 22 when he joined the premier league. henry & shearer had already scored 23 league goals each in before they started scoring in the premier league.

so what's the big deal in rooney's dodgy records? so rooney shouldn't be expected to score more premier league goals than two players who played only 8 seasons in the competition before they were 30? are you actually aware rooney is now in his 14th season & he's not even 30 yet? cheesy grin

elampawa.......see how easy it is for me to tear rooney's appalling records into shreds. only elampiro would compare goals scored in 14 seasons by rooney to the ones scored in only 8 seasons by henry/shearer. you ought to admit it - rooney is a massive liability and his goalscoring record is a fraud!
Zero over zero.

while rooney developed into a jack of all trade, master of none. rooney is a street footballer.....no tactical nous or any football intelligence. he has the first touch of clifford orji.

rooney is a liability....
then in your other comment, you were comparing rooney to shearer & henry. shearer scored 260PL goals, rooney would be 70 by the time he breaks shearer's record.
Zero over Zero.

As for the record. It doesn't matter when Rooney breaks shearer's record. Or whether he even breaks it. What the stats says is that Rooney at 30 did what others could not do at that age. Goals and assists.

Manchester United: Louis van Gaal blames lack of winter break for English clubs' European woes

October 23, 2015 11:46 BST


"There is no winter break and I think that is the most evil thing of this culture," Van Gaal said, as quoted by the Telegraph. "It is not good for English football, it is not good for the clubs or the national team and I think you should change it. England has not won anything for how many years? It is because all the players are exhausted at the end of the season.


"It is always possible [to win the league and Champions League] and I have done thatBut I also lost when we were champions in Germany, before losing the Champions League final. It is harder these days. The Premier League is the most difficult league to win because of the high level of the teams and you cannot beat a team easily, he added.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/manchester-united-louis-van-gaal-blames-lack-winter-break-english-clubs-european-woes-1525351













Is it not a similar thing Van Gaal is saying here. Gaal is saying players who have Christmas break have advantage over the ones who didn't. That the ones who didn't are exhausted and

so strikers would get exhausted cos of early season goals huh
A player who started in August should be tired by February.

A player who started in January should be fresh till end of season. And he will be up against tired players.

Why are you surprised??

Is this the 1st time elampiro would make bogus claims in a bid to cover up for the inconsistencies associated with statistical analysis (of players)??

This issue has been pointed out on numerous occasions but of course, anything...just about anything could be put forward to back up arguments here (no matter how disjointed the argument is).
And who was arguing with you?

I don't even know what you intend to do with those stats. I just told you some things that could have influenced certain aspects of the stats.

Big Bele Coogar I don't have your time.

Look at what you bolded (highlighted) and compare it with your response and see how you goofed already.

Once Henry was made a striker, he was allowed to develop there. Ronaldo developed as a winger.

In his absence, why didn't they score loads of goals ?? Elampiro..stats are facts, remember?? cheesy grin



Unfortunately, I have decided to rate them based on their primary function on the pitch - scoring goals!
.

Statistically, Diego Costa was the better CF last season.

Wetin stats don cause for this thread ehn..
When season starts in August, everyone is filled with energy, so it's hard to score. If you start scoring early, it could mean you trained harder in the preseason and you will soon tire.

But the striker coming at Christmas will be using his fresh energy against tiring defenders.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:35pm On Oct 23, 2015

What is happening to Martial now is what happened to Rooney when he came to United. He was sacrificed for other players. He was pushed to the wing and number 10 for other players. That affected his natural ability to play as an out and out striker.

When Nistelrooy left, Rooney should have been made a permanent striker or a permanent number 10 so he could developed well. Even in 2009/10 he scored 27 goals, we still went to buy Hernadez.

I think SAF needed him more in the deep. Since he has played more in the deep, I think he should just end it there.

Ohkay..

If we are to remove setplays, the following assertions can be made from statistics..

• The difference in class between giroud & those guys wasn't too much.

•Diego Costa was the best CF in the league last season.

Do you agree??
Giroud came in the second half of the season when everyone was already tired. Just like Sturridge did the season before. He became fit in December 2013, by January 2014 he was scoring like Ronaldo and Messi until he injured again.

Aguero was far better than Costa last season. Look at his Assists.

you are not intelligent....
you checkmated yourself. i gave you a simple assignment. find a situation where player A & B scored the same amount of goals in a game. B came off at half time while A completed the game........and yet B scored more points than A.

oya, go & do your assignment!



it's not my own opinion, it's a fact!
someone who played 90 mins should rate higher than another who played 23 minutes if they contribute the same positive action in a game.

before shaw was taken off, he was by far our best player. he had 100% pass completion, united kept a clean sheet while he was on the pitch. he made one tackle & his general play was positive. how won't he have more points than darmian who conceded 2 goals on the pitch or mata/martial who had no goal scoring contribution in the game?

sometimes i think you deliberately leave your common sense at home before coming to this board to post. had we not lost against PSV, we might have actually won the game cos he was the only one trying to make things happen for us that first half. elampawa, when are you going for your memory test? grin
I can still checkmate you on this. But it will take time. We had a similar argument in time past when Kagawa was rated low in Madrid and I brought out other ratings to nullify this your time excuse.

May be tomorrow I will bring this scenario where a player who scored was subbed and rated higher than another who also scored but was not subbed.

He might ve been MOTM. But he didn't mke any rampaging runs as u claimed. Costa vs Arsenal was a typical example of someone making rampaging runs down the flanks. Valencia on the other hand, did no such thing....

I used the words 'outpaced his markers several times'. If not all the time sef.

was shaw not the best player on the pitch that day before he went off injured?

elampiro, you need a memory test.....
I don checkmate you. I can still checkmate you further. Let me leave that for now.

In your opinion, someone who played 90 mins should rate far higher than another who played just 23 minutes. Now I checkmated you, you fall back on performance, no longer time spent on the field.

cos memphis did more positive things than negative & it was a time united were controlling the game so there's no biggie. blind also had more positives than negatives so his point was more than 6.0



that is a lie!
if player A & player B contribute the same thing while A played more minutes than B then A will have the most points. stop lying to us. show us a situation where a first half substitute that scored a goal had more points than his teammate that also scored a goal but completed the whole game.

by then we would know if time spent on the pitch has more bearing on the points or not. you are having a debate with a scientific mind.....you are an arts student. i was only 13 when i started running hypotheses & making an inference via deductive reasoning.



you are making my point!
so don't you think a player that played more games would have more time to achieve the positive things than the negative? so why won't the player with more minutes generally get the most points?

elampawa, do you use logic when arguing?
Vs PSV

Luke Shaw played 23 minuets in the first half.
Darmian 90 minuets
Mata 90 minutes
Martial 90 minutes.

Yet Shaw was rated higher. I can show more examples but that will be too time consuming today.

you are a tool!
if 6.0 is the minimum rating but you cop a yellow card, misplace passes, etc then it would go below 6.0

bastian never had the chance to redeem his poor first half in the second half like his fellow team mates. rooney at half time woulda had worse than 5.9 but he was able to cop few points here & there when united got on top of the game.

by then, bastian was already taking his bath!
I am not blaming Schweinsteiger. You changed the argument. I said his rating ought to be above Lingard and Rooney but for some marginal points. So marginal points are inconsequential.

You cannot compare Valencia who rated 8.1 to Lingard who rated 6.0.

In my opinion 5.6 to 6.9 are in the same rage. But 8.1 is in a high performer rate, yet those kids said Lingard did better than Valencia. That was shocking for even mamaput to hear.

As for the rating, playing first half or full game has nothing to do. It's your activity. Schweinsteiger had a negative rating and that is it. I have seen Rafael, Jones, Fletcher left after 20 minutes of play and were rated above 6.0, 6.4 etc .
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 5:30pm On Oct 23, 2015
6.0 is the kick off/start off for any player.

See Memphis that played for just 11 minutes has 6.2. Blind 28 minutes 6.19

It's not by length of play but by activities. Someone can play for 20 minutes and score 8.0. Someone else can play for 90 minutes and score 5.7

Score a goal = +1.0
Assist a goal about 0.5
Have an error leading to a goal 0.5-1.0 negative.

Dispossessed = negative.
missed a chance = negative.

elampiro, stop trying to be clever by half. bastian played only 46 mins in the game. unless he scored or assisted, his points overall would be less than the players that played more minutes on the night. bastian's early bath was responsible for his low point.

however, rooney spent the most minutes on the night. lingard came off in the 80th minute & yet still had more overall point than rooney. it simply means rooney was animal-shyte throughout the game. had rooney come off when bastian came off, he woulda been rated less than 5.0



he was sure!
he knew martial would hit the ground running as soon as he replaces rooney in the #9 position & that was what happened exactly.



liar!
the video came out on the 31st of august & adeyemi2015 was the first to declare martial a machine. as at then, you thought martial would make us regret selling welbeck.

elampawa, you have been thoroughly exposed as a white liar. cheesy
You are a big liar.

5.9 is a negative Marking.

So till now you don't know how it works? If you play 1 minute you are expected to score 6.0 rating.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 5:16pm On Oct 23, 2015

I stand my my words and they are the truth.

1. I was the first to announce we were buying Martial.

2. I was the first to put him along such big names as Suarez and Arguero. I also said he has dribbling ability of Sterling.

So how come I was accused I didn't want him to come because of Rooney. I endorsed him even before he played along side Rooney.

parrotibaba:
@Elampiro do you think you are dealing with senile folks? You were one of the folks that were skeptical about the acquisition of Anthony Martial, even questioned his goals return. I think Elf n UniqueGem were the first to welcome his acquisition to the club, then I n others( n some Chelsea fans) who had seen him play were of the opinion that he will be a hit, hell I even did a comparison with him n Berainho after one Chelsea fan asked if he was even on par with Berainho. Our only problem was that his price tag was huge for a teenager.
You aren't being logical.

I analyzed his goals returns, I did not question or dismiss his goals returns.

The first time I saw his video, I approved him not just as a good player but as a world class player. This was even before he kicked a ball for us.

Again, this argument started when I said I was the first to announce his coming. They said it's a lie that I didn't want him because of Rooney. If I didn't want him, how come I put him in the light of Suarez and Aguero, players with striking ability better than Rooney?
