EAspots only put Van Persie ahead of Rooney because it didn't recognize Rooney as a midfielder. It was marking Rooney down as a forward instead of the midfield he played. grin

Every season, whoscored rates Jones higher than Smalling. Jones is currently our best player according to whoscored.

EPL official rating also has Jones higher. Any bias? Cse closed.

If u dey vex, go and cry. I am off here.

Elampiro, ya excuses are so fvcking stale .....

Try another... Mtcheew

You don't know ball. SAF, Hodgson, Gaal have all benched Smalling for Jones.

Whoscored and EPL official ratings have Jones over Smalling. Coincidence all thhe way?

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:34pm On Feb 23, 2015

You guys can continue the Rooney bashing. Na una know o. cheesy

The team arrangement can never be as you people want it. Football is not like that, particularly in the EPL. It's a close call between Smalling and Jones, but the coaches have their pick, even in the national team. As usual, whoever is the pick has to be played frequently to overcome the learning curve. If they decide it's Smalling tomorrow, that's their own. But as of today- SAF, Gaal, Hodgson

But wait, whoscored has Phil Jones as our best player, and he is always higher than Smalling and always among the top players.

EA Sports EPL official rating. Phil Jones 5.4. Smalling 4.75 [b]ayagayagayagayo hei, ayagayagayagayo. ;[/b]D

SailorXY:
what you should rather ask yourself - is it justified that Valencia is preferred to Nani as an attacking winger? if yes - Nani is out of the way - why is Valencia not holding down the attacking right wing spot??

now is it still justified that the same Valencia is preferred to Rafael again as a defensive right wing player?? if yes, does this mean Valencia is some kind of Maldini?? what then will be his true worth if we put this genius of a player on the transfer market ?

Valencia is better than Rafael in the right back and better than Nani in wing back. Nani is playing in shyte league. All the years he has been here he never benched Valencia.

Rafael gets murdered in the right back by Hazard, Sterling, Nasri, Silva, and any one who can dribble.

Elampiro werin u smoke?

Abeg check dah statz coogar posted

Stop chatting shyte

Useless stat. Did Smalling play right back as Jones has been doing? Did he play more in three man defence?

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:25pm On Feb 23, 2015

This toxic inputer doesn't know that:

* Smalling has not been playing as right back. So the stat is screwed.
* Smalling has played more percentage of his matches in a four man defence while Jones has played more in three man defence.

* Yet Jones has intercepts more and has more tackles (per mins).

Some people don't just know ball. cheesy

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

Rooney had a second assist against Swansea (for Herrera's goal). Here ayagayagayagayos are counting useless stats. Shot on target. cheesy

When Falcao and RVP have been missing clear cut chances. grin

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:17pm On Feb 23, 2015

If wishes were horses, this how some guys here would have lined up our season.

Rafael---- smalling----Evans----Fabio
-------Herrera------Blind/Anderson
Nani-----Kagawa/Mata------Zaha/Januzaj
---------------Chicharito

A team that would collapse after two games, and won't hold their own against league 1 oppositions. cheesy

Nani is only getting the praise now because he is away. As usual, only those who aren't playing are the best. Ashley Young that is playing very well is not even getting the commendation.

W. Rooney10W. Rooney
Looked more comfortable playing as a striker. No real sights on goal but dropped into pockets of space and produced some good movement.

R. van Persie20R. van Persie
Clipped the outside of the post from a tight angle in the first-half but another poor performance from the Dutchman. Could not escape from the Swansea defenders.

Goal worst player= Van Persie
Goal fans worst player= Van Persie.

Abegi: RVP that refused to pass to Rooney all though the match and he had an opportunity to pick two players (I think Herrera and Fellaini) who were free 4 yards from goal, instead he shot senselessly. 250K striker.

After some those who know nada bout football will be clamouring for Jones. .. WDF is Jones.. ..?

You must know football better than SAF and Van Persie. Smalling was one of those who failed Moyes. grin

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 7:27pm On Feb 23, 2015

So someone can single out Rooney for blame when he was far better than Van Persie. Toxic inputer.

Ukwu!!!

bros our strikers no be am. each & every one of them!

I wish Wilson had a little more experience, honestly.

we should use 4-2-3-1 & just manage one of the awon ote(s) upfront like that till the end of the season.

they should all be released

I don't think so. I heard Wilson will be on season long loan next season.

I still wondering what is happening to EPL best scorers in the lest 7 years (Rooney and RVP). Now the world best scorer too- Falcao. May be it has to do with the system.

See you guys. I am logging out.

But Smalling had more games in the defence. Jones playing everywhere means he's another O'Shea; jack of all trade

No. Jones was used for special assignments. Play in midfield when Scholes wasn't fit or used as a 3rd midfielder. He played against Madrid in Spain while players like Cleverley and Anderson watched from the bench.

This season he has been used to cover for Rafael while Smalling was in the middle. That didn't mean Gaal felt Smalling was a better centre back, it meant Jones versatility was being exploited for the benefit of the team.

See your life. SMH!.

What happened to Jones under Moyes and Smalling under SAF

Jones played 3/4 of his games in midfield last season.

Jones and Smalling were both okay under SAF but Jones was the preferred (Centre back, midfield and right back).

Smalling only got into games ahead of Jones only when Jones was out with injury or just returned from injury.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 5:07pm On Feb 22, 2015

It's nemesis catching up with Martinez. He was insulting Moyes last season. Now look at the mess he is into now. grin

Ukwu!!!

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:47pm On Feb 22, 2015

I would suggest Rooney drops into the number 10 behind RVP....Falcao/Fellaini. Rooney should be given the instruction to drop deep. The three creative players in the central midfield (Blind, Herrera and Di Maria) will need someone with physicality and mobility to help them battle in the middle of the park. That was how we played earlier in the season when we played our best football.

Next season, we will need one strong midfielder to join us. Blind goes to his defensive duty or used as a squad player.

chrisley024:
DDG had only one season with little error and Jones has been here how long? You were pointing out Smalling errors while I can list here Jones errors that led directly to goals this season.

Jones is another jack of all trade master of none. He lacks discipline to man his positon and easily gets attracted to the ball.
Another David Luiz

DDG had 1 1/2 (one and a half) poor seasons.

Jones was very good for us in the defence and midfield under SAF.

Smalling was the one who played centre back under Moyes. He was always taken to the gutters by average strikers. Jones played midfield last season and he did very well.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:31pm On Feb 22, 2015

Yesterday against Swansea, Manchester United conceded 2 goals in a game (all comps) for the first time since October 20th v West Brom, ending a run of 21 games.
During the game United only completed 37% of their attempted tackles.
Only 5 games out of 31 this season United have conceded 2 or more goals.
..............

I saw the above.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:17pm On Feb 22, 2015

Michael Carrick has said he enjoys watching Di Maria this year and has been so impressed he has likened the player to one of United's all-time great midfielders in Ryan Giggs.
"There are players who have got tricks and can drop the shoulder to go past players, but he is so direct in his play,
"It is almost like Giggsy used to be in many ways. When he picks that ball up he can carry it and change direction pretty quickly, so it is very tough to defend against - especially if he is going through the middle of the park.
"There aren't many players who go through the middle. You get wide players who do it, but you don't see many players dribble through the middle of the pitch."
[Source: Irish News]
...........

I still believe Di Maria. He will be great next season with some adjustments to his game after reviewing this season over next summer.

Our junior players are scoring wonder goals when our senior players can't even get shots on target.

Oliver Rathbone scored this stunning last-minute winner for the U18s at Derby on Saturday - what a strike!

SailorXY:
lol you were busy documenting Smalling's lapses over the last two games, but I failed to see the organization Jones brought with him yesterday

I didn't even document enough. I only decided to expose those just to counter what you guys usually do about Jones.

I think Gaal should stick with Jones since he had chosen him. Few errors here and there are normal for someone who is coming up the ladder as a centre back, particularly as he has been played out of position over the years. Even this season, he was the one sacrificed to cover right back while Rafael went on injury/fell out of favour. We will get that consistency and organisation from him with plenty games in that position just as we did with DDG.

SailorXY:
how about having a settled 11 based on merit & allowing the dynamic players express themselves first?

now, that will be a good start

Merit....... subjective.

For instance, you think Smalling is better than Jones. But Gaal who didn't know them from adam thinks Jones is better.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:39pm On Feb 22, 2015

If we set up a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 playing a little bit on the counter, we will do very well. Play many men behind the ball and then run rapidly at opposition. Di Maria, Young, Rooney and Wilson will do very well from such a style. Also Valencia. We will also be less vulnerable in midfield and defence.

Playing two strikers far in opposition half is a calamity. Then lazy Fellaini is never gets to drop deep or act swiftly from the attacking midfield.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:30pm On Feb 22, 2015
