Expert17:
You need solid Players around you to deliver, a big Example is Haaland. 5 Games for his Nation, and no Goal

You don't always need solid players to deliver:
1. Some players perform better when playing for smaller teams
2.We won't have players floping at big clubs.

Example is Haaland:
Check his goal records at Salzburg and Molde, who are the solid players there?
Using Haaland was wrong.

5 games for his nation and no goal:
Yes, but he has a healthy record....6 goals and 1 assist in 9 games.
CR7 has gone 3-4 games without scoring too.
I am not here to argue about Haaland fitting into that box or not. I’m just pointing out a fact.

If you take an overall view, 6 goals and 1 assist in 9 games looks impressive.

But if you dig deeper you’ll discover that all those goals came in 3 games, and scoring 3 times in 9 games doesn’t look good for a striker with that kinda hype.

If you want to get more truth, look at the 9 games and compare the games where he’s scored wirh those he didn’t score in- the formation, teammates, who the opponent is, etc.

What I’m saying is that Haaland’s performance for his national team is way below par when compared with his performance at his clubs- if you don’t take a shallow look at stats. To get the reason for this, you just have to dig deeper.

The devil is always in the details.

This is like arranging a deck of chairs on the Titanic. No matter which position you put the two, it won’t stop a disaster.

The two of them shouldn’t be playing for United. I keep wondering how we went from Rio/Vidic to these two clowns. I used to think we wouldn’t get any worse than Smalling & Jones but Maguire and the Swedish lesbīan proved me wrong one time too many.

They are both slow, lethargic, ponderous with zero football intelligence.
embarassed

Leyqute:
For me, it’s Maguire; and that’s majorly because of his speed. He’s so slow.

Lindelof is quite as horrible when it comes to 1 v 1 but his speed helps him to track the opponent’s movements better. It also helps him to recover faster and better.

Once you get past Maguire, even if it’s by an inch, it’s ova.
The way Vardy and Iheanacho messed him up in that loss ehh..

One chance that Vardy missed, thank God he missed it though because scoring after the way he dribbled Maguire would have been very shameful to watch..

It would have been the goal of the season.

Vardy turned an £80m defender into a £8 defender with the way he cancelled Maguire in that action.

It was as if Maguire wasn’t there. It was so painful to see that a United defender could be made to eat artificial grass like that. cheesy

Yeah. If that ball had gone in, the resulting shame would last forever.

Kele and J. Vardy messed them both up with speed and quick movements. The high line thingy is really messing them up. The question is will they adapt and get better ?

..... Bruno's Assists shouldn't be counted because he's a Striker and his primary Responsibility is banging Goals? When Oluweri (Aqúamárk) is your god, soaking in Mud is definitely a Rite not a Taboo.

It’s going to be a disaster. We need a CB that can pair with Maguire for games where we’re defending deep; and Lindelof for games where we’re playing a high line.

Bailly would’ve been this person but I don’t know what’s up with him. Or Ole. Or him and Ole.

It's suicidal to play the highline if midfielders and attackers don't play their roles perfectly.

Also suicidal to play a high line with a defender that turns like an ocean liner. The effectiveness of the high line depends on the pace and organization of the defenders more than anything the midfielders or attackers do.

This is not to say the midfielders and attackers don't affect it, but just not as much as the defenders do. Remember how AVB almost prematurely ended John Terry's career?

Even the quality of the press depends on the quality of the high line. This was one of the corner stones of Arrigo Sacchi's 25m rule. You can't press consistently and effectively when your CBs are always dropping off to make up for their lack of pace.
