Apparently, your mind is made up, so no need.

Why would you rather have us set up like City?

It's not a shot at you but points to the obvious reality that with need a set up that will bring the best out of our players.

I’ve updated my post.

This is not about playing like City, it is about accommodating Donny Van De Beek.

Check the initial post.

Mine too...

Just to understand the previous discussion on how McFred’s limitations play a role in hindering VDB’s excellence for the team, watch this City vs Everton match.

Like every other City game, they utilize Rodri or Fernandinho in a sole defensive midfield position while having two attacking midfielders in front.

Sought of a ‘W’ shape where each point depicts a player. ‘W’ for the back 5, ‘W’ for the front 5.

This is why Mahrez and B.Silva are free to tension on the right wing, while Sterling and Foden tension on the left wing with G.Jesus operating as the false nine. Both positions with occasional support from the fullbacks.

At United, due to McFred’s limitations amidst brain farts from the Centre-backs, the team has to utilize a diamond midfield formation to pose enough threat but this formation means that the team makes do with two strikers rather than the preferred front 3.

In a case where they choose to use a front 3, it leaves Fernandes with the burden of being the only major creative outlet in the team especially when Pogba isn’t available.

Which means he must cover the attacking midfield positions for both the right and left wing throughout the game while also functioning as the brain in the team. This is a task shared by two players at City, usually Silva / KDB or Gundogan / KDB.

When VDB plays in Fernandes place, like in low profile matches, this task is automatically his, and it’s too much of a burden to bear.

Ndidi would have been the best for the defensive midfield role, as he’ll certainly bring the much needed balance to the midfield while having the abilities of McFred, even better than both individuals and occasionally sneak in as a goal threat.

With such quality, it would be Bruno / VDB / Ndidi or Pogba / Bruno / Ndidi, with Pogba handling the left while Bruno takes care of the right, and an occasional switch.

VDB loves to sneak in-between the opponents backline, but McFred either lack the simple passing ability to deliver good balls or the tenacity to anchor the midfield.

Wahala be like bicycle..

We are on the same path at least for now. Let's hope for a win.

The trend is still ole gollum out!!!

Panther7:
The only team that plays a 4-3-3 with pacy attack in England is Liverpool and they lost badly to City, even if Manchester city did lose a game it won't be a as a result of Pep being tactically outclassed it will be as a result of suspension, their levels dropping or complacent.
Maybe in Europe they can meet their match but not in England.

A healthy Liverpool that played a 4-3-3 formation against City showed that they can cause City problems with results in the league and UCL last season. Same can be said of Leicester City in 2020. A loaded midfield with a pacy attack has always caused City problems.

CrystalTiger:
Na matchday be this, why no discussions?..Or are we not confident?

Na Europa Bruh...... majority ain't care for now. You see any Lineup here? Maybe a good Samaritan gonna post it soon.

Yeah they can cause them problems but they will have to do it with high intensity through out 90 minutes..

Kingalabi do you still think Rashford would bury 60% of the goals Mbappe got on Wednesday?

.

Any good streaming app link, please?

Bruno!

Rashford and missing big chances

Uniquisite:
Rashford will blast wide all the goals mbappe scored. Someone even said he will score 2, i just shine teeth

The culprit is KingAlabi. He said Rashford will score that Mbappe's last goal too.

Rashford shouldn't restrict his food Charity to Children only, we also need to be fed with Goals as well.
