It's you that statement should be directed to.

There's lot of thing Carrick brings to the team. His spatial awareness, control and passing helps to bring the ball to our attackers in better spaces where they could easily do the damage.

Take for example, an incisive vertical pass in the middle opens up the opponent faster than all those sideways passes of Herrera. His movement and awareness on the ball breaks the defensive shape of the opposition. His ability to switch play with his visionary passes to the wing in acres of space makes it easy for our wingers/inverted forwards.

He simply bring a lot of control to our midfield with his build-up play and playmaking even when he's basically an holding CM.

labeling pastore a headless player only shows how much you know about football...As for Moura, I have no words for you, Moura is a very talented player (you're probably still upset he snubbed us for PSG)

SIRcumalot:

irrespective of our the coming season goes (na we go still win)
the following one
we make barca an offer they can't refuse for neymar.

seem to me that some of you,are creating wiggle room incase sheet happens.
me don jump in head first into raumdeter's trap wetin go happen go happen (but we go win)

elampiro:


Your essay didn’t change the fact that that Carrick is part of our defensive set up. If the defence behind him is poor, he will spend most time trying to cover up the gaps. If the defence behind him plays close to the goalkeeper, Carrick will spend most of the time in our own third.

If the defence is unable to win back possession quickly, then when will Carrick get the ball to pass to the midfielders/wingers?

A similar argument occurred in 2011/2012 when a few people thought the run of great results was due to the influence of Cleverley and Anderson combo only, until I showed them we had a smart defence behind them which enabled quick play from our own third. Even when Anderson and Cleverley were being separated we still had great results when Fletcher came on, until Jones and Evans had their own injuries. We had a CB of Jones Evans/Smalling/Ferdinand then Rafael/Smalling in right back and Evra on the left. The movement out of our own third was swift while recovery was superb. We won 8-2, 5-0, 3-0, etc at the beginning of the season. Even SAF had to pull out Ferdinand and Vidic in the Shield where the winning streak started. Then we came from 0-2 to beat City 3-2. A similar thing happened in the first league game of the season.

Defence is important to attack.

See carnal thinking! That's someone's mum.

Diademk07:


How about checking the keypass stat if you really must tow this stat lane? And yes, Hazard was a lot better in all department whether keypasses or in his dribbling.

Personally, I prefer Hazard to Di Maria. Why? He's a player who can pull an underperforming team to a title like he did for Lille or Chelsea in the second half of their title run when the likes of Fabregas, Costa and Matic stopped playing. He almost did same for the underperforming Belgium team at the recent Euro but others were just too shite/uninterested.

Last season was probably an anomaly for Hazard or maybe he was suffering from an injury but he's better than Di Maria who can only does his magic in a well oiled team and yet still inconsistent in that world-class team.

You probably love Di Maria because he's very similar to your bae, Rooney. Their bottom level are the worst I've ever seen of any pro player to the extent that they can't even deliver the basic right such as simple passes whenever they are off form yet would get an assist/goal at the end of the day after stinking the whole place.

SIRcumalot:

that hasn't nothing to do with anything,
like they showed you with Madrid above.
I just don't see what anybody else have done to make me think otherwise.
maybe am drunk with all these positivity surrounding UTD this week.

Diademk07:


Defence is only important to the attack if you have ball playing defenders or attacking fullbacks!

Sorry, the likes of Jones/Smalling offered nothing in the attack for us. You should stick to defending the no of clean sheets they managed.

Sacking a coach is down to the club not the opinions of the public, he was sacked the season after that because he was considered a failure

Abramovich outspent his rivals and won the league, man city outspent their rivals and won the league, LVG outspent his rivals couldn't win the league and got sacked

dopeJemi:
Rumdeuter, can we now say outspending your rivals is not the highest factor? Shall we mark today's date?

raumdeuter:


If you break a world record that trumps outspending your rival. Breaking a world record is a statement of intent and after that you have to win

raumdeuter:


WHat did they show me with Madrid? EVerytime Madrid broke the transfer record they won either the league or CL when they dont they sack the coach

elampiro:


Even if you go to key pass, Di Maria still wins. Both have 2.2 key passes per match. Both when drilled down to key passes per total minutes played, Di Maria is better than Hazard.

Look at the last two charts. The column marked 'Total' represents the number of minutes the player needs to play to make a key pass. You see there Di Maria murdered Hazard again in that stat . For the record, you don't like Hazard more than I do.

Good night!

patrickmuf:
So much about the money we spent on Paul and the imaginary pressure on Mou championed by Mr. Logic himself...For so called logical folks like Dayo and company, it's perfectly normal for Guardiola to outspend his rivals by any amount as long as he doesn't break the world record, funny...
Now, if we must tow their line of thought wherein Mou is suppose to win all before him, then we'd say Man City must concede the least number of goals since they just broke the world record for a defender, sounds silly right? That's how we see you from where we stand.

elampiro:



Defence is mostly important to attack if it:

1. Can play high on the pitch to help the attack press the opposition in the final third.

2. Wins tackle quickly to reduce the time the opposition have on the ball.

3. Being able to defend aerial balls very fine and doesn't need the forwards to play close to our box to help defend aerial balls as Fellaini have been made to do whenever Blind is in our defence.

This is likely my last response to you. You no know ball.

kokaneprodigy:

From experience and from the business point of view clubs hardly make such ridiculous spending consecutively, and that's where the fall out with Mou will hit the roof. Big signings come with huge wage bills bro.

SIRcumalot:

so you're suggesting we sack Jose if e no happen?
that doesn't make sense.
that would be like sacking Pep or ancelotti in his first season because he didn't win the champion league which was always the goal.
we know the bundesliga na afterthought for Bayern.

You dont have to sack him as sacking him involves a lot of things, Maybe his buys might not be liked by the next manager, Maybe you would have to pay him big for contract breach

But you would admit he failed, the level of failure would now determine whther he is worthy of sack or not. If by May you are 16th then he has failed majorly and sack is very likely, if he ends up 2-4th then he has failed slightly and has a case for one more season to improve

kokaneprodigy:
boo boo boo, bay bay bay, bla bla bla. You trying so hard to sound intelligent but u still coming out dull.
Apart from the record signing, he signed two other players for over 30M each, coupled with the fact that Ibra is on a wage of well over 200k weekly, Pogba is on that as well.
Two very high profile signings were gotten by him this season alone.
Need I add that Mou has over 5yrs EPL experience? You mean manure did all these so MOU could go trophyless?

Before u counter me, u must be able to tell me any of Peps signings that are of higher profile in football than Pogba and Ibra, secondly, any of his signings that will earn over 200k weekly.
Let me add, that if Mou wins any trophy it won't be seen as due to tactics or skill we'll always remember he got Ibra and a record signing. You don't get record signings to go trophyless.

raumdeuter:


I can spend 120M at say 25M each on 5 young players, Would you say I would have the same expectations as Someone who spent 110M on a player?

I was expecting those who have followed football for a while to know this isnt the case. WHen you break a world record a new form of expectation is on you

Like saying the expectation on a Man who buys 1 Buggati for 35M and one who buys 6 cars toyota, Honda, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen at 6M each. The one who buys 6 cars people go say he try, But the one who buys 1 Buggatti has made a statement and expectations would be higher on him

or for your area you dey carry Sikira Nkechi, Bose Adaora and Fatima compared to your guy wey just carry Zahra Buhari
