Leyqute: Yes i noticed. Gore's touch and turn in 1st phase is as good as Kobbie's, the difference is that he can't shrug off physical challenges like Kobbie and he does not have Kobbie's scanning ability. They used to take it in turns to play CDM in the academy and other times they both move forward and Oyedele who is bigger and stronger than both (but not as press resistant and technical) comes in to play CDM. You are right about Kobbie's football intelligence and versatility. Gore is equally versatile and technical but inferior in terms of physical attributes and intelligence. Kobbie's calmness and authority is crazy. That was the first thing i noticed about him. He plays at his own pace and never seems fazed........ and he is always scanning. 1 Like |

melodyogonna: Cos the guy keeps his head on a swivel and constantly scans, so he knows where the people around him (both teammates and opponents) are at most times. Then the few things he gets surprised in possession he is confident of his touch, passing, and dribbling to escape from danger. This differentiates him from McFred for instance, where neither Fred nor McTominay had the touch to be caught in such positions, hence their shaky-shaky daddy performances in 1st phase situations. There will be ups and down as he still has a lot to learn especially defensively, but the potential is there. I have always known this. 2 Likes |

CrystalTiger: Did you see him versus Arsenal in preseason? Man literally locked down the midfield. Made Declan Rice look like Enzo Fernandez and even assisted Bruno for one of the goals. Yes, I know it's preseason but we wey don dey follow am from academy know what he's capable of right now as well as what he can be. I don't think he's the kind of player that will have off field issues because of his personality but you never can tell. That's why the club, both admin and coaches, need to rally round and protect him. Him and Garnacho. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

afrodoc2: I think this is one of the best traits that he has. He almost assisted Garnacho yesterday after beating two men. His pass was just a bit overhit. And I believe this was because of his scanning ability. Same with that unexpected pass to Bruno that created a chance. Didn't Gore make debut before him? I remember all those times Kobbie should've gotten minutes but was either injured or returning from injury. Now that he's going to get his chance, I seriously hope and pray injury doesn't become a problem. That baba from Arsenal had better do his job |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by odizeey(m): 1:22pm On Nov 27, 2023 |
melodyogonna:Yeah. That's right. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 1:52pm On Nov 27, 2023 |
Leyqute: I think Gore's debut was this season. Mainoo's was last season. Yup injuries can alter all the permutations. |

Eriksen with all his fragility would have been a better combo with mainoo than Scott. Scott and Bruno left the midfield to Him yesterday. 1 Like 1 Share |

Dan Gore, Maino, Garnacho, Hannibal, pellistri, amad diallo Ten Hag babes are cooking. That's the manutd way. Mix academy, youth, with experience. Ten Hag is doing a good job. |

Puntingnoob: The best rated is only 16 but he is small sized and not pacy. Think Phil Foden stylistically. Because of his small size and lack of pace my fingers are crossed on him. He is no where ready for 2-3 years anyways. There are a few other decent ones but no obvious standout. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Leyqute: The bolded reminded me if Greenwood, whose debut usually gets postponed because anytime an opportunity presented itself for such, he was always unavailable with injury. The academy followers were usually anxious to see him play because they know how good he is. π |

timay1: Greenwood won the best academy player of the year, scoring about 40 goals or so. Mainoo was last yearβs best academy player. We are anxious to see him play. I like how ETH didnβt put him in the first team after his return from injury. Mainoo played several youth games for club and country before yesterdayβs game. 2 Likes 1 Share |

ChristoBam: I reason am well well before i made that statement. "Left footer" that takes left and right footed corner kicks, scores left and right footed free kicks. Bullet shot with accuracy in both feet. When i made that statement i felt Greenwood was one of the best finishers in world football. I just said best at United so that people here won't woundjure me. 1 Like |

ChristoBam: I think Mainoo will be benched against Galatasaray and then start against Newcastle. I expect Amrabat to come in against Gala. If the senior players can't do a job in Istanbul because an 18-year-old is not playing, then they are on their own. 4 Likes 1 Share |
