patrickmuf: 3-5-2 has been our best bet against big teams since Ole was appointed coach...The problem I have with a diamond featuring Pogba, Bruno, Fred and Matic is that Pogba will never track back...
In a 3 - 5 - 2, We can play AWB, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw and Telles with Matic/McTom, Fred and Bruno/Pogba in midfield and in attack, Rashford and Martial...
Of course Ole has to specifically instruct AWB to stick to his position and avoid being dragged into the box by the runs of Mane...The above is us being conservative and playing against their best team.
At the moment, I'd like us to play 4-3-3 with AWB, Bailly,. Maguire and Shaw in defense and in midfield, Fred, Pogba and Bruno...
In attack, Martial, Greenwood and Rashford...Yes, I'll play Greenwood through the middle as he has better movement and is a better finisher but I know Ole will rather PLAY Martial through the middle and Greenwood, out right..
Yet if we lose match na you go first shout OleOut.
If he continues with this attitude he’s going to escape relegation. Fulham are really playing well today. Parker’s got better tactics than Sean Dyche and Brighton’s confidence is shot. So, totally possible for Fulham.
afrodoc2: Lol. The guy bit off more than he can chew. I wonder if Ted Cruz and other bottom feeders will stick with him.
Well that is good news. I didn’t think they had the time to do it.
Americans should actually be ashamed of themselves for voting such an obnoxious and obvious anti-democrat as President.
It’s quite shocking and telling. The rise of Trump shows that human beings are human beings, irrespective of their intelligence level or skin color. People can be manipulated and tricked as long as you dangle what they desperately want (good or bad) in front of their eyes.
Trump milked the white nationalists and pandered to their every whim and fantasy - border wall, travel ban, etc and they neglected all his red flags. Remember when we were afraid a nuclear war with N. Korea was imminent cos of his twtfights?
He’s the most unpresidential president of this age.
He shouldn’t have stayed in power this long sef. Shame the GOP is known for sticking together on an issue (even when it’s killing them) while the democrats like fight pass quarrel.
Yesterday VAR looked at Shaw’s foul, didn't think it was red, looked at Brady foul, thought it was a red, but then told ref to look at Shaw incident as was foul in same phase of play.
Ref forgo the red card and instead awarded a free kick against United.
Now,
Chelsea vs Ajax, UCL Stamford Bridge. 2 red cards and one penalty in the same phase of play. If the ref awarded the first red card, why also award the penalty?
It’s baffling. That was clear daylight robbery. Yet shekpites will cry and moan about decisions that go Man Utd’s way. Buncha drunkards.
afrodoc2: Many people are actually ignorant about what democracy and about how fascism develops.
Trump is not your regular POTUS. He is a lame duck President who is fascist in all but name and used his office and social media to instigate insurrection against the government.
The only reason he is not going to be impeached again is that he is going soon anyway.
But he is going to be impeached again.
The house plans to introduce articles of impeachment in 24 hours and this time, the senate seems to be on board.
eph12: We need width to keep up with LFC full backs. I'm not sure this formation will afford us that
McFred n Tom will help in that regard- drift wide and defend while Pogba and Bruno can cover centrally. Or vice versa. There are enough bodies in midfield to deal with that threat.
It worked vs City. We were just stupid enough to concede from a set piece.
Also, unlike against City, Liverpool’s defence is weaker and we can get more chances to score from counters. Rashford, Bruno and Martial will be the runners and should be the ones involved in the counters. Pogba can orchestrate from deep. His long range passes should come in handy.
Also, Rashford should be on the left while Martial (or Cavani ) plays from the right.
CapitalCee: Paul Tierney (referee for the Liverpool vs United game this weekend) has awarded Manchester United 5 penalties in his last 10 matches - and 1 against. He has awarded Liverpool 0 penalties in 14 matches - and 1 against (Chelsea). His place of residence is "Lancashire" according to Transfermarkt
olabode89: Except when they play City. City beat the shit out of them during project lockdown and the beginning of the season 5-0 and 3-0 respectively.
Bros. In the last 14 games, only City and Chelsea scored more than once against them. In the remaining 12 matches, they conceded only 6 times. 6 clean sheets.
Don’t tell me Mourinho isn’t beaming down at them right now with tears of love.
In the first half they were more of a threat because they relied on second balls. In the second half we took care of that and they became totally useless.
We played them off the park and deservedly got the goal. That was when they started playing. Rubbish team.
nitrogen: I said the players can win something, use what you have to win trophies. Of course, you cannot have 11 superstars. You can only have good and average players.
Same players amassed 81 points in a season under Mourinho na. Shuuuu
So... in summary, win trophy with Lingard and Pereira...?
