Illimitable:
Since De Gea got demoted, he’s been keeping clean sheets while the Great English hope has been laying eggs in every game since then.

I am not deducing anything, just observing.

Degea. 31 games. 12 clean sheets

Henderson 21 games. 12 clean sheets

We are observing

Jodera:
Is you okay??

It is possible bro

Don't forget RVP and Sanchez

patrickmuf:
Abeg how is Telles playing?

I'd love it if Ole hands Elanga his debut...

Quiet first half.

patrickmuf:
I went searching for the stats. The absence of Sancho means teams can focus more on Haaland in a bid to neutralize the threat he poses...His goal return in the same time frame proves the teams have succeeded...

I understand your point.

He scored in 7 straight games without Sancho at some point this season.

He has scored 20 goals in UCL at age 20, how many of those games did he play with Sancho??

Hype Sancho, don't include Haaland......thats my point.

Bruno score abeg

50 - 60M for Saka is not a bad deal

I wish we could swap Matic and Fred age

See Degea dey watch ball

Haaa

Cavani

Goall balll

Leyqute:
McTom actually started out as a striker in the youth team. He’s been shuffled all over the pitch (mostly at the spine though) so that has affected his game somehow.

But if you don’t have what’s necessary to play a role, no form of coaching can make you play that role, especially if you’re not a young player. You cannot turn Fred into a prime AM or Ronaldo into a dependable CM. You just kent.

@ bolded, you are correct

And that's my point, he got atleast 5 out of the 10 necessary qualities needed as a DM.

Leyqute:
Can Maguire play DM? “With the right coaching” of course.

Disconnect

Phil Jones played as a DM under Fergie oo.(2-3 times, and he played well)

Fergie dey try abeg

Leyqute:
When you get to a certain age, no amount of coaching can help you in some specific areas. An old dog can’t be taught new tricks.

24 years is still at the right side of 20.

He plays as a DM or CB for Scotland..( he had a great game against Barcelona at Old Trafford playing similar role) - DM role is not a new trick to Mctom

GloryIsaac:
Neither Fred nor McTom can hold that role alone regardless of whatever training they go through.

This thing was discussed some months ago.

With the right training and coaching, a CB will play that DM role alone perfectly, not to talk of Mctom.

Illimitable:
He simply cannot.

He lacks the positional discipline to do so. Ndidi, Kante, etc don’t get attracted to the action and then leave their position. It takes plenty of discipline to hold your position and know when to join the attack.

McTominay is a CM

Fred is also a CM.

Infact, he never played as a DM for Country or previous clubs.

Mctom plays as a DM or CB for Scotland.

We have two experienced DMs he could learn from - Matic and Carrick.

GloryIsaac:
Same here.

Madrid win = CR7 mud, Zizou greatest of all bla bla
City win = Pep greatest, noisy neighbors bla bla
Chelsea win = Too many issues here
PSG win = Poch masterclass, Ole gets dragged

Certainly choosing the lesser of four evils, PSG.

We are waiting for this

Last season
===========
Haaland scored 13 Bundesliga goals

Assist from Sancho = 1

This season
===========
Haaland has 21 goals

Assist from Sancho = 6

Make una calm down abeg

Sancho and Haaland played together at Salzburg and Molde

I have a confession to make
I am expert17

I know people will say its a bias take, but truth must be said. Dean Henderson was very outstanding yesterday, making crucial saves and very calming presence in the box and cut out certain dangers by perfectly sweeping the dangers off with excellent timing. Most importantly he is very vocal. I saw him towards the end barking orders at Maguire and Lindelof to move up the pitch.

We have been asking for a fast defender because pacy opponents make us vulnerable, Henderson cut out 3 certain attempts on goal yesterday that i remember off my head by reacting very quick, and when you realise its Kane/Son charging at those ball, you know the outcome. Goal keeping is not just making reflex saves from attempts you should have cut out since, modern goalkeeping require you will be good on the ball, be a proper sweeper, command your box with authority and organise your defence well , as well as making reflex saves as the cases may be. TBH, Henderson ticks these boxes better than all our current GKs.

Without these qualities we will be restricted to just counter attack because our backfive will be hesitant to be adventurous

God bless you bro!!!

OLE made the right call to trust Henderson with the no 1 spot.

His gloves had his initials, Man utd badge and England flag on it, direct message to Pickford and Southgate.

Lana1:
Very soon this one go dey sit for halfway line like Neuer.
Brings a whole new dimension to our defence that we haven't had in a long time.

Solid 9/10 performace from him yesterday

Confidence choke

Great game yesterday

chrisley024:
I wonder how much more we'd give him. It's not like he's winning EPL and CL for us

That was the same way we gave Martial 250k,

CapitalCee:
POGBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! .

Thats a velvet performance. Give this guy whatever wages he wants. World class World class world class.

Just like that



The same way we gave Degea ba?

Weldone bro
