This is what I don’t like about James. Just square play that ball to lukaku.

I still believe Chalobah should have played. He is fast to cover against Counter and he can dribble his way up with the ball in case Arsenal lock up.

Make them no use long thrusts to kill Azpi and run behind him.
Me too, I was expecting chalobah to start, azpi to RWB.

Tell your useless midfielders to create chances for Martial. The midfielders especially Bruno are doing Fu..CK all in this game but it's Martial you are blaming. Agenda must agend grin grin
Bruno don’t even watch his CF run, he just spam the ball into the box all the time.

Pogba should be moved to that midfield ASAP.
That will be worse. Romeu always outplay pogba in midfield. Pogba is a free role midfielder, he doesn’t have that discipline to be placed in the middle.

I think Bielsa gave himself brain in the latter part of last season; they weren't as 'gung-ho' as they usually were, especially against the top clubs. That's why they didn't lose against Chelsea, Man U, Man City or Liverpool in the second half of the season.

But yeah, he's still kind of reckless sha. Maybe the bashing against Man U last week will reset his brain again.

I think another manager in this group chat is Graham Potter. That man has got Brighton playing some seriously attractive football, but it ultimately leaves them exposed cause they don't have the quality to execute such risky tactics without getting exposed. Reason why Brighton were close to relegation waters despite their attractive football.
Its obvious epl teams are changing their style of play . I can remember the likes of stoke city and Bolton started up ball play.

Ronaldo has the world cup as one of the best players on field and showed it in crucial moments like the final

Messi has the CL as one of the best players on the field and showed it in the finals

Boateng has the world cup as one of the best players on the field and showed it in crucial moments like the final

Silva nothing shown in CL, world cup just like Terry

Ballot box footballers

They get aggressive whenever you point the obvious to them, same way Chelsea fans were defending Lampard, saying that Rudiger, Alonso, Werner, even Kante were all finished until Tuchel came.

A team with Varane, Maguire and Shaw as part of Back four tell me any team in the world with such quality?
Na only u Dey talk as e be for this United thread. The rest are not true to themselves due because they want to give excuse out of sentiment. This Man U team is very good to win the league, Ole is limited in tactics and formation, that’s the only thing that can stop this team from winning trophies. But if you look at it from deep analytical point glaziers have their reason of keeping Ole and the reason is yielding fruit so far, I.e, to bring in-house stability to the club.

Did that stop Boateng from being a starter at Bayern after that?
I heard lewa is tired of Bayern liga.
Boateng nor be great defender. U don see defender wey play for big club become club less at 32. I first watched him at man city, he was positionally poor and out of place. There is a reason Hummel made team of the tournament in that wc.

There are some reports that Lewandowski wants to quit Bayern. If that's the case I can see them showing serious interest in Haaland.
Next season, Lewa to Chelsea to support lukaku, Halaand to Bayern, Kane to Man U if man city don’t sign him this season while mbappe to Madrid.

WTF is roamers, when what is called a box to box would do.

Kante is a CDM, he played it for Leicester, played it for Chelsea and for France.

You think Tchoumane or Rice don't push and progress the ball up the pitch, the difference is none can actually function as a deep laying playmaker. There are pirlos and there are Yorkish pirlos. That doesn't change that they are defensive midfielders
Kante is not just a CDM, he is box to box and CM too, he is a utility midfielder like Kovacic except that kova doesn’t have Kante’s stamina. At the bolded, that’s the point, we need a player that can progress play quickly from deep while still maintaining his CDM role like Matic under Conte, not short passes here and there that result to us struggling against teams that play low block. Arsenal have being defeating us recently because of this reason, they play low block and hit us on mostly mistake or counter attack.

italy play 6 2 1 abi angry or Sarri does? undecided if Ibime spits you self will swallow, why can't Tuchel bench Jorginho and play Kante and Kovacic in the midfield role?
For tactical reason. Kante and Kovacic are roamers(if there is any word like that) so he had no option than to go with the only CDM in the team, not that he is too good. Why do you think we are going for either Tchouameni or rice. We need a sitting CDM that’s strong and technical along side Kante if we want to win the league.

Italy played Jorginho beside Veratti, a proper midfield controller who is one of the best press resistant midfielders in the world and a very combative Barella...

Italy were taken to extra time by Austria, scrapped past an injury ravaged Belgium, outplayed by Spain and needed penalties and against England also relied on penalties...
Jorginho is the weak link in our midfield. Sign a proper CDM with strength and ball retention and see us win the league easily. Tournament is different from 38 games. We missed out on another league win when we sold Matic and replace him with bakayoko and Jorginho, Kante started over laboring after Matic’s departure which resulted to his often injury. Chelsea board are aware of this fact, the reason they are going for either Tchouameni or Rice. You can’t win epl comprising of 38 games with a player like Jorginho. He can’t hold his ground, easily subdued, easily predictable and can’t drive occasionally. He can only do quick pass which is basic. He only intercept when an opponent has being crowded and slowed down by his team mate, he can’t chase to make tackles.

No you are wrong. Collective effort bring tittles. Individual performance bring individual awards in football.

Footballs aim is to win biggest trophy not t be winning in ballot box like politicians

Boatank delivered the biggest trophies for his club and country while on the field which none of Terry and Silva have been able to
So football is lawn tennis that boateng delivered cup singlehandedly.

Champions League is also a one horse league just like world cup is a one horse league which was why he won while on the field

And why Terry and Silva were unable to
The fact that Havertz scored our winning goal against city doesn’t make him the best striker in ucl last season. There is a reason for individual honor, it’s to distinguish exceptional players from the rest.

Messi is older than the calamitous pangolo defender known as Boathand, and he is still hustling to win things for himself and club. Same for Ronaldo, Neuer, Muller and other players that have won world cup and UCL. But our own Ghanaian, disgraced out of Bayern at 32, dont need to hustle again to win more. grin grin grin
32 is still peak years for good defenders

Ibime:
Terry at 25 had individual accolades Boateng could never dream of.

Defenders are not like forwards. A good defender does not become useless early. Defending is based on intelligence and positioning and old age is where we separate the good defenders from the pace merchants.

Terry, Silva etc are good defenders and their intelligence and positioning carried them into their late thirties. Boateng was just a pace merchant who was proven to be positionally and intelligence deficient as soon as he lost his pace, that's why he became useless at 30.
True, Boateng is positionally poor. He is just lucky to play in a one horse league with a great club. His poor individual accolades attest to this. He was really bad for man city then when he played.

Havertz10:
if you want to push mount back into midfield, who would you remove? Kante? Cause kante is also a box 2 box midfielder, mount is played in attack because he doesn't mix in midfield and in attack he limits the attacking flow of the the team, either way, he isn't supposed to play but fans and British media keep forcing him on the coach, it's that disruption that he causes to the entire team that annoys me, mount has gone 13 games without a goal yet he plays as an attacker at Chelsea, why wouldn't such inefficiencies annoy anyone
Tactically, Mount play as AMF for the team, while Havertz as SS or false 9. Try to understand tactics not just formation on paper.
