El Fatso should continue with the ale... he was fukcing dope tonight! !!!!



Mourinho bench Mhiki and receive thunder!!!!

The Kraken inside Rooney was released tonight. It's hard to believe this is the same player serving sh*t all these while. If he'd gotten a goal and an assist he'd easily win MOTM

The thing is we should be grateful to Ibra because he makes those chances happen in the first place. Rashford wouldn't even bother about those nonsense.

Did you think Rashford/Aguero/Aubameyang would be contesting any of those aerial ball/mid air balls the team often launched into the opposition's box? Definitely not. As a matter of fact, I've seen Ibra made a lot of Valencia's average crosses look great which wasn't the case when Rashford/Rooney was leading the line last season.

Yes, Ibra has missed some chances but it has been grossly overstated. As far I'm concerned, he's created much more than those he's missed and has scored more difficult goals for us.

He simply contributes much more to the team. He's still the best at providing throughballs in the team and has been involved in majority of our chances. He created a lot against Burnley as well as the Stoke city match and in the Westham game etc. Even majority of Rashford's goals were fashioned out by Ibra.

As you already know, I like Rashford than Ibra but that doesn't mean I should be deluded in my reasoning. The reality is Ibra suits this kind of Mourinho's aerial style a lot more than Rashford. Not only that, his vision is also essential in our attacking play in the final third because we still don't have a major creative player in the team, don't be so deluded with the crosses and lofted balls the team often launched into the box!

The truth is I've seen all the chances Ibra had and I've even put it to you to spell these chances out yet you kept bringing up Opta stats? How does this Opta determine its clear-cut chances?
!

Kagawa10:
It's like a player made a 5 yards forward pass to his compatriot who made a 15 yards forward pass to another mate but Opta would have us believe both made forward passes.

Abegi!

OPTA: Clear Cut Chances definition
Clear Cut chances are one of those underrated stats in football. The definition of a clear cut chance is ‘ A situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score usually in a one-on-one scenario or from very close range. ’ (EPL Index) So in other words, a clear cut chance is a chance where the attacker is odds on to score, it can range from a one on one finish, a unmarked headed chance or a tap in chance.




If you download the pass chart of each player, you would see the length of each pass and in what area of the field. See the chart below.

For instance the first chart shows all Michael Carrick's passes against Swansea on November field. The ones in red are the ones not successful. He made about 95% pass accuracy.

The second chart shows United passes that led to Ibrahimovic's equaliser against West Ham. You can see Opta records everything. So Opta will rate the final pass made by Pogba higher than the other passes. The passes made in the final third may rated higher than the ones made from our defence.

Kagawa10:
Exactly why there's a visual chart.. But do they show the visual chart for their clear-cut chances? Literally, the missed chances are read the same way the forward passes are read unless you view the visual charts.

Kagawa10:
I have asked you to list those 8 easy chances Ibra had missed so far but you've only listed few...

Funlordjnr:




This elamps and kagawa can't you both just enjoy this solid win in peace with the rest of us?



Haba! See them like married couple....

UniqueGem:
I don't know about you guys but I think I'm stuck with Rojo and Jones at centre back until Bailly returns.

adebayo201:
Sircumalot, shey we no go loan this your guy out like this Memphis, the gun-legged player


i pity him... he's down the pecking order

afrodoc2:
Not completely accurate. He played matches at CF, in the hole and also on the wings. You have to remember that in the youth team players are more versatile and the coaches try them out at different positions not only during an injury crisis but also to see where they excel best.
For example Scott McTominay who has been a midfielder all through the age grades is presently being used mostly at CF by the reserve team, TFM played CB, RB, DM, CM and Roshaun Williams initially CB is now playing more of RB.

Oasis007:


Nice Pairing!

Meanwhile..... Rooney will miss the next Match [against Everton]. He has accumulated 5 yellow Cards!

chrisley024:
We'll just over score in all these competitions and be searching for it in epl

Leyqute:
Beautiful football. Semi final ticked acquired with aplomb. Such finesse and panache! Why can't we demolish teams like this in the EPL?
