Rangnick: "I was fully aware this couldn't happen overnight. It's a work in progress. We have shown we have conceded fewer goals but still it is about controlling the game. Obviously, we have taken a few steps, but things can still get better, to find the best formation."

Rangnick: "If you want to control or dominate games, you can do it in two ways. One, how you play when the other team is in possession and not being weak on the counter-attack. The other is to gain control when you are in possession of the ball."

Okay, this makes sense. Quick question, what does Fluidity mean? and how do players like Rashford and Greenwood provide that ‘fluidity’ that you are talking about? Through selfishness (both are culprits), poor positioning (both, with Rashford the main one), perpendicular runs with the ball (Rashford), cut and shoot everytime (Greenwood), laziness (both)?

Tell me!
Both of them are direct. They don't hold up the ball up front, look for a nearby player( that'll skew the final pass) and then make a run. They get the ball and run at the defence with good trickery. Rashford and Shaw got great connection. So also Bissaka and Greenwood. Even Rashford and Bruno. These players can predict their movements.

Cavani is not direct and doesn't do any of those things but his hardwork is one reason I want him up front as Rashford is not in form. Btwn he does the hold up play thing better.

Insult ke? They said he's blocking the part of Martial and Rashford, he left, won a league title and Seria A mvp and was bought by the reigning CL champions for a world record fee, meanwhile we are trying to offload Martial yet to find buyer na war. grin

How active are you on Twitter? Do you even know when Lukaku deactivated his account? It was banter from Rival fans and It was earlier in the season, not when he made the interview as most people claimed.

They are challenging for the title after signing him, they have advanced to the CL k.o stage, and now in a cup final.

All fluid football players have done is play nonsense, write essays and sulk.

Look at you changing history. Lukaku was terrible up front the season he left. Will never forget the Manchester Derby. This is the reason he left. Guy left for preseason and didn't come back till he signed for Inter.

He himself admitted Conte changed his game and he's now better for it. If his game was that great, it wouldn't need changing.

The new changed Lukaku is getting the same abuses at Chelsea. Challenging for what? Lmao. The won the UCL last season before he came in. We're just at the Round of 16 so calm down. Challenging for which league? Btwn Chelsea went on a winning streak with him out of the team. To the extent, Tuchel was reluctant to put him back into the starting lineup.

Christobam, you don’t know the meaning of fluidity.

Fluidity is when your system allows nearby players to interchange passes and positions in an unpredicable fashion thereby escaping zonal and man marking traps. Short passes with quick runs and haphazard movements enable fluidity. Go and watch City, prime Barca, etc. Very few players hold the ball for long and make long passes or try to be tricky on the ball, passes become really erratic (within the team) to ensure confusion in the opposition camp.

Rashford and Greenwood won’t give you the above. They are always either running away with the ball or trying to cut and shoot.

No. I was saying that Bruno was too erratic with his passes. Bruno was our best player last season, no one dared to bench him. Ronaldo is our best this season, why do you want to bench him?

Lmao don't come here and overanalyze a phase of gameplay to prove whatever.

Even Chelsea's attack under Mourinho was fluid. Counter attacking sides can be very fluid in attack.

Hahaha, but counterattacks make sense when forwards are ready to release ball to players that are unmarked or at advantageous positions. Counterattack is not when you run horizontally like a slowpoke eventually losing the ball because you are tired or a defender caught up with you. You need 3 vs 2 or 4 vs 2 situations for counterattacks not 1 vs 2. Only way the latter would work is if you are a very strong, pacy and fast forward. Is Rashford and/or Greenwood strong?

I don’t want to hear him speak when he is not on the pitch. He should talk on the pitch. He is trying to tell everyone what they want to hear, to mask his underperformances.

Lol Rashford is not strong? Rashford is strong and pacy. The kind of strength you're looking for from Rashford, you won't get in most pacy players.

Everything you described up there fits Rashford's profile perfectly. He's ready to release the ball to someone in an advantageous position. He had 15 assists last season FGS. He might take the stupid risks once in a while but he can get better with that. Is that not one of the reasons we have a coach like Ragnick.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 2:41pm On Jan 14, 2022
There's a reason we had lots of penalties last season. We were fast, direct and effective. These same players delivered that.

Rashford is not strong. No dey whine us abeg. Also, he has always been at the receiving end of counterattacks. He does not always set up counterattacks because he either overshoots the ball or try to take on defenders on his own. Meanwhile, Rashford is 24, you think any manager can help him get better? with his stubbornness, nationality, degree (MBE and PhD) and laziness? Abeg abeg!

What about Greenwood sef? No comment?

You're judging Rashford based on his recent form. So obvious. With the overshooting thing you said.

And Rashford is definitely as strong as you'll get as a pacy player.

Even a Barca fan was saying it's crazy that a winner is complaining and people are blaming him for the team performance.

This team is full of losers, who are not ready to win. Back line; losers.

Frontline; losers.

This Ronaldo matter suppose don tire everybody. I hope he leaves at the end of the season. He is a top 3 best player of all time but his acquisition messed up the team's attacking chemistry.

Three major things,

1. His build up play is shiit, same with Cavani

2. He tends to make pressure inducing passes to the midfield or sometimes fullback that messes up attacking plays

3. He took away the freedom giving to Greenwood to shoot whenever he is free. Ronaldo can be seen getting mad whenever Greenwood does not pass to him when he is on goal. The crazy thing is that he does the same thing that he complains about.
