I just tire...By the way, Herrera dropped another very good performance...
Also note that Herrera played with Gueye who had about twice Herrera's defensive contributions. To be very clear, Herrera was dribbled thrice yesterday.

Why did Ole leave his coaching staff in Norway sha? This Carrick and McKenna abi wetin be the name, they have not performed well enough in getting the team playing to Ole's ideology (if he has one that is). Many people on Twitter are suggesting we hire René Meulensteen to add a bit more experience to the coaching staff, Carrick and McKenna, while they might be talented coaches, they lack the experience to coach established, high-profile players ... or so many people (including me) think.
How did Carrick become talented coach?

Fred is the best DM in the squad.

The defense would get terribly exposed without Fred. He’s one of the best(3rd most ball winning pressures in the PL) in cutting off opposition attacks - but he’s very terrible in possession.

If you keep Fred out of the squad, the passing would improve but United would be exposed when they lose the ball(which they do a lot because of Bruno’s high risk passing). United use 2 players to do the job of one player and still those two players fall short of the gold standard.

This is like playing with 9 men against 11.
This is what I have been trying to explain but people get coconut head.

You signed a high risk taker, you were even warned before signing him.

So why the complains?
Lmao you complain about almost every other player. You didn't think about what they're about before they were signed o. Now that it's Bruno we're hearing this cheesy cheesy

The funniest aspect of all is that Carrick and scholars have a lot of other players putting defensive shift.
The stats they provided of Rooney was when he was part of the front 3 with tevez and Ronaldo, yet he still put in defensive shift.

If Fernandez is playing the supporting strike role then the two on the wing must be ready to contribute defensively.

The major problem will have is Ole is lack of idea on how to utilize the players or should I call it fear of experimenting with his squad nothing stop him from using a midfield 3 of Van de beek, Fred and Pogba in midfield with Bruno on the bench in some games.

Even, if he want to use Mcfred with Pogba and Bruno then he must be willing to use an attacking Right back and use 4-4-2 formation with Ronaldo and any other forward.

Not every game require, this 4-2-3-1 formation. Both Bruno and Pogba are quality players on their day but at times need to sit on the bench to know they are indispensable. Again the Ronaldo signing could be a curse in disguise as Ronaldo might have to sit out some game or be sub out which Ole won't have the ball to do it.
LMAO I remember how people were excited for Ronaldo transfer. If the coach does not have a reliable system, it will end in tears.

The same way Bruno lose possession senselessly, is the same way Martial, Rashford and others miss opportunities to score from his pass.

Will you advice Bruno to stop creating because of the miss chances from Martial and co??
Players miss opportunities constantly. If everyone was scoring every chance they get, people will be scoring 40+ goals every day. Even Bruno lost the free goal they gave him yesterday

You and Arsenal were dragging midtable. United were constant Europa customers, we were regretting loaning Henderson to bleeping sheffield united because they were about preventing us from qualifying for europe

I just showed you how Bruno's defensive stats is better than the Rooney you mentioned.

Scholes and Carrick won't need Bruno to drop deep
But they would need Bruno to not lose the ball senselessly. Even Ole and his people mentioned that as a reason why they were hesitant to buy him

Rooney had Carrick and Scholes so no need to help Vidic and Ferdinand to defend. Bruno has Mcfucki.ngfred.
What are you talking about? Was it not said that Rooney played all over the pitch selflessly during his time here? Was it not seen that Rooney was getting into attacking and defensive positions to aid the team? Was it not said that Rooney would have done much better in terms of goals scored if he didn't have to sacrifice so much for the team?

This is the issue!

Ball retention is primarily the job of the CMs/guys on the double pivot and secondarily on the system implemented by the manager. Bruno's job is mainly creating goal scoring chances and starting attacks.
If the CM guys are failing in this aspect, how is the team able to maintain higher ball possessions than almost every other team they play against?

Is it rocket science or are City players so good?

We have seen City vs PSG and they outplayed PSG even when PSG have players who are equally as good if not better than those of City...

The difference is the coach...A good coach will do wonders with a good team. We have a. Good team but it ends there...Ole is terrible...

Watch Brighton play today if you're chance and you'd see a team coached by a coach who knows what he is doing even though they don't have top players in their ranks...
Pep is obviously miles above Ole. That said, I don't think Ole will survive in other teams the way he has here. He would have been booted out. Unless it's those mumu Norwegian leagues

Bruno is not losing the balls senselessly. If there is anybody that loses the ball senselessly in this team it is Pogba, Fred and Mctoms. Pogba is always full of himself, he will be showboating and turning like tomatoe engine until they crowd him, while Fred and Mctoms are apologies of midfielders.
Bruno just like any attacker will try to find forward players and opposing defenders will cut out most only few will go through. If you are looking for who is making our midfield to collapse look at Fred, Mctoms and Pogba. Giggs and Fletcher dominated Ballack and Essien in midfield in 2009 At home. Fergie didnt ask Rooney to go join in midfied battle
Are you talking about yesterday's match or another one?

City blocked all the passing lanes thus Chelsea had to go long. Only Kovacic had the skills to go past his marker that's why he was at the Centre of most good play from Chelsea.

Chelsea still look like a team that will be right up there...
That's because not many teams can play like city did yesterday.
