You have a short term memory, Pogba has had an difficult season with reoccurring injuries, when fit, he is our best midfielder. Forget that McTominay and Fred have picked up, we still need Pogba or a player of his ability in the team just so the likes of Lingard and Pereira take their rightful place on the bench...

patrickmuf:
Mane going to midfield is just his style of play, when Rooney and Tevez were here, our midfield had Scholes, Carrick, Anderson etc. Those players were at some point the best in their position so it's more about the attackers style of play than the midfield being average.

patrickmuf:
Pogba in our midfield will see us create more clear cut chances added with his goal threat from midfield. I am looking forward to when Fred, McTominay and Pogba start together.

How many matches has Pogba played in a row... Let him play 10 matches straight and he'll likely get 8 goals + assists or more. Look at City, Gundogan scores once in a while, Debryune scores.. D. Silva assists.. Rodri has about two or three goals from DM... B.Silva (let me not add him even though he has played in midfield too) Their defenders score goals too.. When season end and you calculate the goals coming from midfield alone.. It would be around 20, you then add assists... The type of Herrera through balls.. How many times have you seen our midfielders play that, with all the speed we have up front... If James is beside a defender, they prefer passing it to his leg

obainojazz:
We need a midfielder that makes things happen... Imagine adding Pogba's goals last season with what our attackers are scoring now... We'll surely be better than where we are now.

melodyogonna:
It is done

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.

afrodoc2:
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.

afrodoc2:
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.

Lana1:
The only reason you saw anything back then was because you didn't like the way he was benching your sweet heart Young. The guy showed a lot potential when he joined us. He just lost his way along the line.

afrodoc2:
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.

afrodoc2:
Did they beg you to reason for them?

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

afrodoc2:


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?

afrodoc2:
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!

Lana1:
Except for rotation purposes, Williams should never sit for Shaw again. The guy is a joy to watch.
Unlike Shaw that is already back in the sick bay.

eph12:
So do we say now that our attack is bad? This has been your point, right?

patrickmuf:
Elampiro, are with the stats. Our attack is still not where it's supposed to be but right now, our midfield and defense to a lesser extent need more attention.

eph12:
LFC - Mane + Salah + Firmino 27 goals, 14 assists
MUFC - Rash + Martial + James 25 goals, 13 assists

Ravioli:
No need for this.

Lana1:
Really need to fix up on that midfield ASAP.

Leyqute:
The Bruno Fernandes rumors are getting stronger.

Rubbish people.

When last did you see a DM making Ballon d'or podium? A CM or AM will always be rated higher than a DM because being creative in the middle, requires high level of ingenuity.

If Fred is the most creative midfielder among a combined Liverpool-Man utd midfielders, like you opined, then Fred is the joker. With Fred, a big chunk of midfield success, is in the bag.

airmark:
Take away creativity in midfield, you get Taraba utd kind of midfield.

airmark:
One of your numerous posts, hailing grand-master Fred to high heavens.

airmark:
Elampiro disagrees with this, so far Fred is available, no shaking.

airmark:
He scored 3 out of his 5 goals, this season, starting from the midfield.
