That is not true. It has nothing to do with the negotiation process. At the end ED got a reduced price which he wanted. We are no longer desperate to sign a player at all cost. Our mumu has do

If that's the case, kudos to Ed.

elampiro:
How?

They forced Ed to behave

DeadPresidents:
Really? They rejected a €35M profit which I think is within their rights as they should easily be making €50M profit considering his age, potential and the fact that he is on a long 5 year contract.

This is a full Brazilian international for feck sakes.

Na so

iamharkinwaley:
Aje!! More of this

Yes o. We move!

airmark:
United fans are thugs, not surprised you hailed them. Birds of a feather.

Like this thug

Those guys that vandalized Ed's house are the real heroes

afrodoc2:
So i go leave my daily bread, take 30hr flight, just to commit crime wey no get utility.

I am a man of peace.

It would have been worth it sha

odizeey:
False. It's a reserve keeper.

Buahaha

elampiro:
Since you did not prove, the me too no prove.

So you're saying nobody said this?

Chrisus:
Listen, Man United might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it. Let him write whatever numbers he wants on there, given what he's done since he's come in. Ole's at the wheel, man. He's doing it. He's doing his thing. Man United are BACK.

Nothing to dig. You know deep down nothing like that.

Okay I agree, oya prove yours.

I'll like to see Greenwood assist his teammates too

elampiro:
I asked first. Prove and I will prove.

I don't know how to dig

elampiro:
You have to prove where anyone said a full back should not be trying to. Otherwise you no know book

Prove that anyone said our front three are as good as LFC or better

This Ole is not ok at all. What's he bringing in Fred for when Mata and Grant are on the bench?

elampiro:
It is not his primary duty either in Inter

He shouldn't be trying to

elampiro:
No, Ashley Young cannot cross.

Someone who has not Assisted a goal in Man United in the EPL this season despite being our set piece taker, made an Assist with a cross from open play. In United, the forward players would have allowed the cross to gone to nothing and they will say our full backs and midfield do not support.

In mufc, it's not his duty to make an assist

Expert17:
Ashley Young hv already provided an assist under 30 minutes into his Inter Milan debut........

Man utd issue na follow come

That's not his primary duty. He should face his primary duty

pu7pl3:
What do you think is the main fix for you guys right now?

Sell the club on jiji

Lana1:
Kepa and Pique plus Ramos.

Cant wait for Euro 2020

With de gea waiting around the corner

Miremoses1:
My Valverde would have won this match

With his eyes closed

Debroslink:
Until Barcelona gets a coach that will bench the so-called "UNTOUCHABLES", the club is doomed.

Doomed fc

1. This has been implied in the course of this argument like two times.

2. I am still waiting for someone to tell me where I ever said that only our forward should be in the opposition half. You guys purposeful want to misunderstand me to advance your arguments. I have said a zillion times that we are talking about primary functions. However, our AM and CMs still lead in chances created in Man United.

3. Our midfielders are usually in the build up play or trying to score. McTominay has 3 goals. Pogba has missed free header from inside the 6 yards box.

4. That was because Fletcher was a good header of the ball. Pogba would have scored some already he is a poor header of the ball like Martial, Rashford, etc. Fellaini use d to score from heading.

5. If we have not been having extra bodies, how come we have been playing more in the final third from the matches I watch? Our midfielders appear to even be involved in final third play than Liverpool midfielders.

Oh if 1 has been implied before, you're right then

elampiro:
There are some areas I have agreed or partially agreed with you. I am not just arguing to win argument. I have said our set pieces look weak to me. So may be we can give Kudos to Arnold. Nevertheless, we were scoring set plays last season when we had Fellaini, Lukaku and Smalling. Which makes one to ask, what has happened? We still have Mata who can cross well

Probably because OGS wants to break teams down without putting the ball in the air, something like low cross.

elampiro:
Even the goalkeeper has a duty in a build up play, but it is the primary duty of the forward players to break down defence.

Mind you, elampawa is nit my moniker. You may be inviting a fight if you choose to go that angle.

1. Nobody here has ever claimed that Rashford, Martial and James or Greenwood are at par with mane, salah and firmino. Not to talk of being better.
2. You're underestimating the importance of the extra bodies in attack especially against teams that sit back.
3. When a player is looking to cross, its ideal to have 1 or 2 more players in the box aside the striker. That's where the midfielders or defenders come in, depending on the moment
4. That's rarely the case when we play. In the past we had Ronaldo, Rooney, Teves, Saha, Chicha arriving at the box. At a time, Fletcher was doing that and delivering the goals.
5. In case you've forgotten, this is a gentle reminder. It's always important to have extra bodies in attack especially against teams sitting back.

elampiro:
The fear that Messi, Suarez and co will wreck havoc on the opposition defence makes the other team and midfield to seat back in their half when they are playing Barca. Same with with Liverpool. But United, even relegation teams know that our attack is easily tamed. So they can venture

Supporting cast and style of play does not matter? Don't let Messi and barca bots swear for you o

elampiro:
What if those players are responsible for the big chances in the first place due to their dribbling? A team with Messi or Maradona or Pele or Ronaldinho will create more chances due to their threat and dribbling in the attacking area.

See those teams that parked bus against us, it is Martial, James, Rashfird and Pereira duty to break them down with dribbling, close control etc. Park bus against Mane, Salah, Gabriel, Silva they will find a way. Even Nani those days.

And what is the duty of the other players against park the bus teams elampawa ?

elampiro:
Neymar and Messi at one point were missing the highest number of big chances in Laliga. But one thing, they were the ones dribbling their ways into such positions to begin with.

One thing about barca is that the team wins the ball back very quickly. Most times they win it in the opposition half. Of course you expect such team to create more chances, and lose more chances.

elampiro:
What do you think about the stat you posted?

Other strikers in the league have more big miss, can afford to because their team will dominate and create more chances

elampiro:
The question is what is the percentage of big chances missed?

If you missed 1 out of 3, and I missed 2 out of 4, I still did better than you did.

I can't find that stat. If you find it, let us know

larride:
The fact that you keep saying Klopp will give Liverpool advantage as if the Man Utd team will be coached by Ole.

A front three of Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez vs a defense of Robertson, VVD, Gomez and Arnold

Midfield of Owen Hargreaves, Carrick and Scholes vs a midfield of Gini, Henderson and Fabinho

A front three of Salah, Mane n Firmino vs a defense of Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand and Neville.

VDS v Allison.


I know which team I will put my money on.

Man utd team that played 4 ucl SF in 5 years between 2007-2011 and 3 finals lol. Won the epl back to back to back lol

Elampiro what do we make of this?
