Fred is undervalued, underappreciated by most Fans. They would rather have him disposed instead of Ice Cold Cúnt.

Oasis007:
For Brazil at Copa América, Fred has made
the most passes in the final third (23),
most progressive passes (23),
most attempted tackles (10)
and most successful tackles (8

DDG go stand there like an Okorocha statue. His poor record in penalties is not a fluke.

Let me make a small confession here. Till today I have not watched the penalty shootout against Villarreal. Immediately it got to penalties I stood up and started preparing for work. I was CERTAIN that with DDG in goal we were going to lose.

But Belgium are not convincing yet in this tournament IMO

GloryIsaac:
We’ll put the burden of the club on him

TrebleChamp:
Read it ko

SyIvalord:
It’s just a one year extension possibly for team morale. Mata will barely play. It’s not that deep.

Did you read it?

Manchester United are going on a wrong part from their destiny.
See!! I am a fan of FC Barcelona but i am a lover of good football and great footballers irrespective of the club they play for.
While it's good for Manchester United to buy players with big money, i think they are derailing from what makes a club a great club.
Manchester United or perhaps the coach do not see the beauty of Pogba and what he can give to the club.
I watched the Euros and i can tell you in full audacity that Paul Pogba was the best player in France, even mbappe don't even come close at all.
Pogba is a midfield genius, Pogba in France reminds me of Pirlo and Paul Scholes.
I think Manchester United lack the proper coach because If a man like Guardiola handles Pogba and rashford, i am sure both of them will be contenders for Balon d or.
This current coach of Manchester United can't successfully utilise the players he is got and this new player the club bought won't make a difference.
Pogba should be the one taken all the penalties and free kicks, if Manchester United is build around Paul Pogba, the club will excel.

Pogba is good, he just needs a coach that will put the burden of the club on his shoulder, more like what Juventus is to Ronaldo, Messi is to Barca and Neymar is to PSG.
Manchester United need to make Pogba the face of the club and bring in a coach that will install confident in him and with the help of young players like Rashford.
Manchester United will excel and by the way, instead of splashing 70 million pounds on this latest signing, why not sack the coach, bring in Zidane and bring Ramos to Manchester United?

Imagine Zidane handling this current Manchester United players with Ramos in charge of the defence.
Just pause and imaging what if will be.
How I wish Barcelona can go for Paul Pogba, imagine Messi and Pogba in the same team, oboy!!! Na nuclear weapon o.

No. Don't get me wrong Eph. Why are we getting another CB to compliment maguire? Maguire's best attributes involve his physicality and aerial ability, whereas he's pretty poor on the ball, he doesn't read the game at a high level and he's very poor at defending in space especially when he's isolated.

So the thing with Maguire is he's a pretty good cb for a mid table or bottom of the table team like when he was at Leicester whereas he's at best average for a team who wants to be challenging for a title and in the champions league.

When you're at a big club they tend do have a lot more of the ball, play higher up the pitch and especially in modern football most big sides play a pretty high press and so there isn't as much protection in front of the defense, and all those things highlight all the things Maguire struggles with.


Truth is he's a terrible 90m defender. He's probably a very decent 40m defender..

handelex:
He might be old
but still gold, he still has about 2 or 3 top seasons left in him. Him and Maguire won't be bad

Smellymouth:
If we are severely in need of someone to partner slabhead, it is obvious he has not lived up to his transfer price tag.

His transfer price tag is a reflection of market reality and not his ability.

GloryIsaac:
Look how you completely missed the point while being vulgar at it.

To understand completely, kindly dig back through the pages to where we discussed why McFred needs to be replaced.

jargooflife912:
Di Maria was not a flop he preformed well for us it was just off field issue

Unlimited22:
Alexis Sanchez Don teach Una something

BARAJ92:
What of Kalvin and Rice in his front. Fred and Mctom brings balance to the team, both are not good defensive, our Attacking record is always impressive with both than our defensive record when they play together.

BARAJ92:
Indifferent about his signing until he starts performing for the team but this seems like a very good signing

KingTom:
Bros I've been laughing since

BikeMan:
Chilwell gave Mount the ball that led to a Champions League final goal. Please show me what Shaw has done in any major final.

Luke Shaw assist!

Wonder no more, Ole on the wheel....

adebayo201:
What else Pogba go do to appease you ehn Even if he dribble everybody to score, you go still complain. Oin

Eph12, can this be one of the surprises you're expecting in this tournament so far?

patrickmuf:
World cup winner...

dubylhover:
This is the basic underlying problem we have,we don't press as a unit

SyIvalord:
Nah, it’s not Fred that prevents Pogba from venturing forward as much as Pogba would like, it’s the defence.

Lindelof-Maguire defence is so slow that playing a high line without adequate cover from the midfield is suicide. Ole instructs the pivot to stay deep and close to the defence so as to help stop opponent’s counterattacks since none of our CBs are fast enough to recover quickly. If we sign a CB like Varane who is rapid, he will be able to sprint back to stop or at least slow down counterattacks when the defence is caught high up the pitch.

4231 doesn’t need a traditional DM but rather two CMs. A defensive minded CM and an Attack minded CM. Kante is not a traditional CM yet he excels in midfield with Pogba at France. Pogba is able to play B2B effectively at France because he doesn’t have to bother himself covering for the defence. Kante covers the defence and Pogba controls the midfield and instigates attacks. Fred can do the Kante job well. There is not much difference between him and Kante and I think he is even better at passing the ball than Kante.

With Varane in defence and Fred or Mctominay providing cover for the defence, we will have a solid enough spine to allow Pogba roam up and down the pitch as much as he wants while Fred/Mctominay will provide the energy, tackling and also mopping up balls in midfield.
