It would be nice..

Midfield of de Jong, Bruno and Erickson? No be FIFA be this boss. Na basket be that midfield.

Maybe You can drop one of Bruno or Erickson for maybe Fred or Martinez (if you push him up and use Maguire/Baily/Lindelof instead).

Either way I feel Martinez will start with two CBs. Whether na as a LCB in a 3-man defense or as a CDM in a 4:3:3 set-up na wetin I no sabi.

Sir Jodera good morning, please how's the family?

Martinez varane bailly Lindleof Maguire the captain ,Abeg which 2 wan start

From all indication, FDJ wants to join Manchester United but he can't come out to say it since he is owed $17m by Barcelona...

Barcelona are trying to be smart by forcing him out because they don't want to pay the money or at least they want him him to make some concessions which is ridiculous...

How will you sign Raphinha for over $70m and are after Lewandowski who will cost between $45-50m and you expect De Jong to write off the $17m he is owed?

Barcelona should simply pay him off or be ready to keep him...Barcelona is holding down the deal and not FDJ as they're trying to have us believe...

But FDJ had said it openly several times that he doesn’t want to join Man U ,Abi you go pretend like say you no see am ?

Be ready to keep him when e no wan collect pay cut ,if he wants to stay he should take a pay cut .

patrickmuf:
At Barcelona, FDJ is interested in the Busi role, he feels that's his best position so, I don't see him being too happy with the idea of being pushed up...

Bruno hold? Impossible, Bruno just doesn't have the positional discipline rather he is the one who should roam whilst someone like Eriksen holds...

AWB won't start for ETH, the coach has come out to say he wants to create a balance on both sides thus AWB won't start...

It will be interesting to see what ETH does with Garner because he has shown he can at least deputize for whoever is the teams deep lying playmaker...

In order to have to midfielders roaming, the defensive line is going to have to be at the halfway line in order to facilitate Martinez joining in the attack if necessary. I might be wrong, but that might leave use more susceptible to the counter through the wings as we have only 3 defenders since Luke Shaw is playing in a more offensive role.

I get your point about Bruno, however that's why everyone is hoping he ups his game and become a bit more technical in order to facilitate gameplay such as this one. He's good, but he needs more technicality.

AWB, if ETH decides to start Dalot, it means Martinez will drop to firm a back three with Bailly/Varane. And the formation shifts to a 3-4-3. But my question is this, who will hold the midfield?

Eggzactly... In FIFA, that midfield will destroy, but in real life... It carries too much attacking threat and leaves us susceptible to counters. Balancing your midfield is key.

I mentioned earlier, it’s not Bruno vs VDB, it’s Bruno & VDB.

Quite surprised how everyone got into a Bruno vs VDB argument.

If anyone gets benched, it’ll likely be for Eriksen (who hasn’t come anyway), and we’ve got a lot of games to play, so minutes will go round well.

Likely going to be Bruno & Eriksen with a pivot, or Bruno & VDB, or Eriksen & VDB.

It’s obvious why ETH wants FDJ so badly, to eliminate McFred. But if FDJ won’t come, we simply have to look elsewhere. Over reliance on one player is dangerous for a coach and the team.

With Bruno & VDB & FDJ in midfield, Martinez can push forward occasionally to support FDJ while Maguire/Bailly stays back as the sweeper.

GoddyOra:
All this hate in a dumb post? So in a XI of 3 or 4 attackers, one of the attackers outshines the others means say he tied them with rope to avoid scoring?

The most distasteful aspect of those takes is how they comfortably ignore the fact that United lost the Europa League final to Villarreal just the season before Ronaldo’s arrival.

That performance in the final was one of the most embarrassing performances I’ve ever seen from Manchester United.

Rashford, Bruno, Martial, etc. were all so poor, you’ll think they were facing Real Madrid.

At the beginning of the new season, when we played so poorly against Southampton and Wolves, saved by the extremely poor finishing of Wolves attackers, these “intellectuals” didn’t come here to say anything o.

It was clear from the beginning that United was going to implode, especially after their failure to get in a defensive midfielder and stick to McFred.

You expect him to come out and say he wants to leave when he is still being owed $17m?

If na you, you go accept to write off that kind money?

And as for his contract, did he put a gun to your directors head when they offered him offered him the contract?

Is anyone also worried that despite lisandro being 5"9... The ball almost always manages to reach his head??

Just finished with his defensive highlights on YouTube and I must say, he is something. But in order to ping those passes into the final third, the EPL is going to be hard. The spaces for the forwards to run into are just not there. I only see in happening in a counter scenario. Either way, I don't see how he won't be a success at Man U.

Sir Jodera good morning, please how's the family?

Na wa ooo.
Una dey vex sha ooo. See Signings.
We no even been want am again sef


Oasis007 how far na?
Una don ready to carry league be that shey?

Hmmm. Maguire on the right CB, Lindelof on the left

You see the 500 passes between magwaya, shaw and Linda abii

That's how very useless these guys are walahi

Don't be fooled

Midfield is still as useless as always. First XI my foot

The goal we just conceded is why slow CBs can’t play a high line defense.

We Dey always talk am. But una go say dem dey accommodate am.

Midfield is still problematic.

McFred is useless. That's obvious. No change in this team until it's changed.

Gambit001:
So because he's very good at scoring he should go to the middle East . How dumb can someone be in this life.

No because his present is affecting the team. Every players should have sense of productivity in the team to make things work instead of focusing on how to pass to Cr7 in the box 18.

Gambit001:

How is 15 goals good at scoring, he is past it and should accept and allow other attackers to play their game instead of focusing on him. He had issues with Greenwood because the guy has shooting as his first instinct when with the ball and started talking about young player bla bla just to bring hate to the young lad, same mind game he did with Bale and Higuain.

If he wants to join Man U he would have joined

He is not owed any 17 million ,money that can be easily paid from Man U transfer fees ,una no go think this one

Man doesn’t want to move to Manchester United and that’s on period ,but Barca are pushing him out .

Boy.

Shaw is so daft.

Fred is the only midfielder in manutd. Mctominay is shit and rubbish please can we throw him away

Leyqute:
Boy.

Shaw is so daft.

Mehn!, frustrating to watch those back passes, which is what he's just doing in this game.

weight of pass isn't helping

Is Shaw always passing backwards because he’s a fullback?

Abi What is the cause of this shittery?

At least that right side is starting to work courtesy Sancho, Dalot and Fred.

McTomminay is just a waste.

Back to default setting

Benching Fred will be hard if he continues playing like this. He’s attempting the hard penetrating passes.

And surprisingly, they’re accurate.

Eph12 you’re doing well.

First touch and jitteriness is still there sha

Who go sell this McTominay for us..God abeg!!

It’s nauseating and irritating

Bruno will need some time to get used to ETH football. It’s clear that he won’t be able to do Hollywood stunts.

With Maguire at the back, we will always concede through counterattacks. He is too slow!
