Fred

True. it's either Pogba or Fred for that position

nitrogen:
Thank me.

You must have deleted your drafts for tonight dedicated for Ole

I'm amazed at how Pogba has been able to keep things simple in the CM position. Who are we to thank for this?

larride:
See that Bruno pass just now, I’m sure stats will record it as unsuccessful pass.

How are we thinking same thing?

See the pass Bruno just tried to get to Martial now. People will say he lost possession or whatever. but somebody has to make those passes

Good that Shaw is running down that left flank without fear

afrodoc:
It is all moot now though. Maybe he could have tried harder but he definitely didn’t get enough opportunity.

I actually prefer him leaving cos his career would have stagnated with so many senior options in his preferred position.

Leaving is the best option for him personally but he had better choose a club that has time and space for him.

A small club certainly. May wander around small clubs for a long time

Red flag, Fraudiola won't be that stupid.

Fraudiola is desperate right now

Lana1:
I remember this match.
I was annoyed Rashford opted to shoot instead of lay it into the box. But look at all those mumus. No single one of them waited on the edge of the box for a pass. They all ran towards the post like remote controlled robots. Smh!

One of those things you would see and wonder if the players do prepare for scenarios when attacking

afrodoc:
Which cup?

In the Europa League:

1) Home against Astana. Played no10 and had a whoscored rating of 7.1 (higher than Rashford).

2) Against AZ Alkmaar. Left wing.

3) Return leg against Astana. Left wing.

He is not a winger. He is an attacking midfielder.

Should have done better though. He's a youngster and doesn't want to wait for his turn, then he should have made it impossible to be ignored. Those that have been accepted into the first took their chances at first asking. I doubt his mentality and strength to do well in the first team of a big club

afrodoc:
SOME of the minutes given to Pereira and Lingard could have gone to him. It’s not like the preferred players were setting the league alight. We were still losing and drawing games until Bruno came along.

He got 19 minutes in the league. LOL

He got 3 games in the cup

Leyqute:
Eph are you sure about this stat? Don’t compare him with Perreira and Lingard or Bruno who play higher up the pitch o.

Matic, Scot and Fred.

Yes you can check for yourself. Even though Fred has started more than all of them.

Rashford has some skills though. Just needs them confidence back

Leyqute:
We need Bruno. Hopefully we can get the job done in the first half and sub him off in the second half.

I think he's tired. He can come in in the second half

Leyqute:
He’s gotta be press resistant to succeed. This is the EPL. David and Bernardo Silva are smaller but they can’t be easily dispossessed.

I think smaller people hold the ball better sef

True he has to be more press resistant. For what is worth, Fred is the least dispossessed of all our midfielders bar Matic, at least amongst those that have played a considerable amount of games.

Leyqute:
Imagine. Fred is still a suspect. He’s not press resistant yet.

He's never going to be. Still a very good passer and not scared to give a vertical pass. Wins ball back too

Leyqute:
Not disagreeing with this. But he can’t play week in week out. He’s worse than others when he’s overworked.

Hopefully it's still too early to be overworked. Bruno should be rested today in my opinion

MRTA7:
Mainly because Fred is not naturally a DM. His best position is what he has played most of the season as a box to box. I think him playing as a DM exclusively wont bring the best out of him. Same with McTominay.

True

Leyqute:
Matic starts well after a long period on the sides but his performance drops whenever he’s had a number of games under his belt. At this moment anyone will run rings around him.

He needs rest.

He's still better than the other options in that role

One can easily see that these scummies are uncomfortable, but trying hard to conceal it.

Lana1:
Uncle say we "totally outplayed them"....with one shot on target at Stamford Bridge. Maddeaux!

It's embarrassing. If to say nihilistjnr dey online, he for shush am

Lana1:
Need Rashford to shake off the after effects of his injury and get back in form before we jam Chelsea.

Rashy preek dey always stand whe he see Chelsea. No just worry yourself

afrodoc2:
Arinze Gbalaga. Short man devil.

Rashford best friend. Ka sha ma dupe

afrodoc2:
You OUTPOSSESSED us and yet we won. You sure say una no need DELIVERANCE?

E say na outpossessed. They should give their 3 points to City for outpossessing them na. Nonsense

THRICE DEBE, ALWAYS DEBE.

donjazet:
I for one am not scared of meeting the scummies. In our 3 games we totally outplayed and out-possessed them but weren't clinical enough.

We are a better team than them and i believe we would win them this time.

Oasis007:
Play it simple like Pogba is doing now, that's what I meant. I believe we all love the new Pogba we're seeing.

You don't need to lose ball 10× to create a Chance. What makes KDB stands out ain't by losing Ball simply to create chances.

I won't be surprised if many of you join to protesting his incessant loss of Ball to the Opposition, while attempting to create chances - soon.

When Pogba was playing Rubbish, we talked about it, we wanted him benched and perhaps sold. Same Pogba has come to realize simplicity is an Art that must be cherished to reach greater Height in all Disciplines.

Fernandes is better, but not great. We can't rate him as KDB for now. He needs to avoid losing Balls unnecessarily to become a great Player.

Pogba was playing in a deeper role and not that he was losing the ball trying to find a clean pass to unlock the defense, but he was losing the ball trying to dribble. Doesn't look the same to me

In City, their off the ball movement is very great, everyone is moving around and opening for passes in advanced positions. KDB isn't that great in his national team. In the last world cup, he wasn't that successful with his passes and many judged him to be a shadow of his real sef. You can check Belgium stats for his pass success rate and compare it to his fellow midfielders or even attackers in the last world cup

Be ready to put your money where your mouth is, a day before that match.

I will be ready

Chelshit will be supper motivated for this match but we go beat them like small pikin. They would have been better off playing against fraudiola

handelex:
Na Henderson matter?

Ah na you talk am o

I will not talk

Leyqute:
Lol. If you ask me. Na who I go ask?
