I insist, Rashford shouldn't have been taken out. We need him on the wings. He has pace to worry Shekpe.

Be like say u no see work wey Herrera dey do. He's not just marking Hazard. He's also done well in breaking down their attack!!
Chelshit is just defending and countering us. Hererra has been fantastic, I pointed it out, but if we continue like this, we can't break Shellshit down. We add more attacker and the tell Matic to not move forward and sit deep like Hererra. We should commit more bodies in their final third.

Exactly what av been telling my friend here. Shekpites are here to defend. Remove Herrera and bring on one more attacker. Unless he get other things for mind.
If they decide to go on full defense, we might run around till the end of the game and still not score a goal.
This is Conte's plan all along. They caught us unaware. If we don't figure out how to bypass that sea of bodies in the midfield, we're doomed. Man City would have ran circles around that team, but we don't have the tactics to slice them open.

Well, we need Ukaku in that match. It's very important. All those crosses are wasting. We're controlling the match well, but our final third output is killing us.

Remove Herrera ke, the first thing is to remove Rashford and send him to watch the rest of the match on TV in he changing room, put on Lukaku and let them worry themselves. if any player will add firepower on our wings, it has to be Martial and not that stupid Rashford.
Then he'd bring in both players and remove a midfielder and Rashford. Chelshit are parking the bus, we need to break them down or stretch them. Jones fuckëd up but defending is not our problem.

Lol. Remove Herrera?? Ok!!
Hererra is in that match initially to man mark Hazard. It's not working coz Hazard is roaming. We need to bring in Ukaku and push Rashford to the wings. We can continue like this but won't break down Shekpe's wall.

Our attack needs more firepower. Chelshit is parking the bus, how can we penetrate them with more midfielders than attackers? Our RW is dead. Valencia needs someone stationed there to help trouble that wing.

Exactly all that was needed was body checking to unbalance Hazard.

We draw first blood anyway.
That's why defending these days is more brains than aggression. Simple body checking and Hazard would have miskicked it. Amateur defending.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 6:02pm On May 19, 2018
If Mourinho wants to win this match, he'd remove Hererra and bring in Ukaku while Rashidi goes to the wing to add firepower to our attack.

Chelshit are out to park the bus and hit us on the counter which has worked perfectly for them. The possession is 66-36 in favour of United. Shekpe came to defend, Mourinho should add more attack and allow Matic to be our only DM.

I thought it was because Jose wanted Smalling to go to Russia, that's why he has been playing him instead of Bailly? Now that it's confirmed he won't be going nko?
I tire. But smalling has been present in our defence for the past couple of months, so I think that's why he continued playing him.


See you after first-half.

Ukaku is not fully fit/lacks match fitness, you have to take that into consideration. Mou would have started Ukaku if he's not coming back from injury.

You are definitely on Point Bro. Smalling is an established Fool when it comes to Ball Possession.

He's kinda frustrating to watch at times. How I wish Jones can stay fit, or Lindelof can sharply improve on his defensive Deficiencies.

The first Player I want out of United is Smalling, follow by Darmian. Both can even leave for free if the Decision is mine to take.
What Smalling has over our other CBs is his ability to stay fit. If we can have Bailly and Jones fit for 99% of next season's matches, we just need another top CB and Smalling can be sold with cowries like Pietrorico once suggested. Unfortunately, Jones and Bailly are injury prone and Lindeolf is worse than Smalling, at least for now.

Speaking of Pietrorico, what happened to that guy? Is he writing the never-ending MBBS as well? grin

In the absence of Payet, Lemar is the only set piece specialist left and I will find a way to play him in the 1st 11 by force.

I only see 2 strikers in the squad and cannot understand why Martial has not been taken as the 3rd striker/back-up winger.

I don't understand Thauvins inclusion at all.

That may be Deschamps showing his Marseille bias.
Deschamps was highly biased in his selection. Despite the squad depth of France, he got many selections wrong.

u r quite correct on intelligence been added to aggression but overall I think smalling is better dan McGuire. how many goals did we concede dis yr compare to liciester? Remember smalling was practically involve in almost all our matches. maybe in few years McGuire will b better.is d calmness he n stones exhibit when holding ball dat makes people feel dey r better.d great Vincent company is nt dat calm when with d ball but he is a good defender.southgate nt picking him doesn't means he is nt good.every coach v different ideology .it might just mean smalling doesn't fit in . simple .another coach might c things differently n makes smalling his top CB
Bro, we're past the "United defenders are the best" stage about a week ago. Go to few pages back and see how that fictitious belief has been destroyed. I don't have strength to start digging up past posts to show you the miraculous works of DDG. But, I'll leave you with this fact sha: Watford have conceded less shots than us. Yes, you read it right. Despite the fable about our good defensive set-up, we've allowed oppositions take more shots than fuckîng Watford. Na DDG dey save us.

You guys are not getting it. See, everyone knows England sucks at tournaments no matter who they put out there. Even the so-called "golden generation" of England achieved nothing. This is the normal England we're used to. But Southgate is trying to approach the tournament from another angle, which I think is brave. Here are the defenders for the last WC:

Leighton Baines (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Luke Shaw (Southampton), Chris Smalling (Manchester United).

These defenders which Smalling was among are more of brawns than brains. They are your typical traditional defenders. What Southgate is trying to do this time around is to go for intelligence over brawn; he wants defenders that can pass comfortably from the back and initiate attacks. Southgate even tried the 3-man defence set-up in one of the friendlies, it shows a coach that wants to deviate from the norm since the norm hasn't worked. It might end up being a wrong call, but it's one worthy of giving a chance.

The key to his plans working though, is the midfield. If the midfield engine works perfectly, then other parts of the machine will work well. The wrong call I think Southgate has made so far is not picking Jonjo Shelvey.

Every Coach does have their Reason(s) for selecting or dropping certain Players. You referenced to a Reason cited by Southgate for dropping Smalling, but you don't wanna admit Deschamps is right for dropping Martial based on the Reason he also gave?! Lol!

Oga..... Smalling is better than Maguire, and England ain't Spain coz they don't play tika tika Footie. They don't need Defenders who can play with Ball rather Defenders who can clear the Ball.
Well, Southgate wants CBs that can play out from the back. In the past that former England coaches have gone for defenders that "clear" the ball rather than "play" them, have England excelled in any of the tournaments? A change in tactics might do the trick or build a foundation that can lead to future success. No-one knows for sure if his choices might work, but then if he doesn't give it a trial we'd never know.

It ain't even about Tiki-taka, Smalling passes are mostly sideways, to the nearest defender, he's not confident on the ball like Bailly. Defenders like Stones are confident with ball even under pressure. They help orchestrate attack from the back and that's what Southgate wants. Before Stones' injury, there's a time he's amongst the top 5 accurate passers in the first-half of the EPL this past season.

Smalling starter for where? Mourinho clearly stated he was playing Smalling to help his course with regards to being on the plane to Russia. Bailly was left on the bench just so Smalling can play thus his starting games for us isn't hinged on merit but bias from the manager.
Also, Maguire plays for Leicester and is even noticed even how good he will look if he was at a club as big as ours?
Save injuries, Jones and Bailly would've been our starting CBs. Smalling benefited from injury to both players. Smalling is very technically limited. Defense these days is not all about aggression. A bit of intelligence is needed.

maguire better than smalling? Wtf? He's the worst and the most overrated of the bunch. Fvcking wannabe ball playing CB.
And when does been comfortable on the ball makes a better Cb? Ffs smalling is a guaranteed starter under one of the GREATEST defensive manager in world football.

most of them are not even that good on the ball, only stones is light years ahead of smalling in ball playing. Its not like smalling can't pass to his team mates or something..
Every coach has what works for him. For years, most England coaches have chosen the path of going for traditional defensive defenders, the group Smalling falls into. But Southgate doesn't fancy that style hence why his choice to drop Smalling makes sense to me. Technically gifted with the ball is not what can be attributed to Smalling. A lot of us have said Smalling is shaky on the ball and that's a fact. Stones and Maguire, even Cahill are technically more confident on the ball. Smalling can't play out ball from the back. Southgate is borrowing a leaf from Pep and I don't blame him for dropping Smalling. He might end up succeeding where other coaches has failed.

Martial will be extremely dull and foolish if he stays at Man utd. Mourinho will never drop Sanchez or play Martial as LW, Mourinho will likely get another RW or attacker in the market

No hope for club football, no hope for National team
I see him leaving, if not next season, maybe the one after that. He can't play any other position but the LW and with Sanchez around, he's going to be on the bench. The AM that Mourinho might play Sanchez in to give Marital chance on the LW, Mourinho plays Pogba there when he wants to go for defensive football with 2 DMs, or even Lingard there when he wants to play Mata on the wings.

I don't want to stress myself over the issue, whatever happens, life goes on.

Frank Lampard has discussed his concerns for Paul Pogba, suggesting the Man Utd midfielder is a ‘YouTube player’.

Pogba is preparing for the FA Cup final at the end of a season during which he has scored six goals and offered 12 assists in all competitions.
But his form has been so inconsistent that Jose Mourinho has dropped United’s record signing to the bench.

Lampard, speaking at a William Hill sponsored Football Writers Association Live event, fears the penny hasn’t dropped for Pogba.

“I don’t know what Pogba is,” said Lampard. “He makes bad decisions but then does fantastic things which must wreck Jose’s head.
“Mourinho tried to embarrass him out of it and I worry Pogba did not get it.

“Pogba is naturally more talented than I was, he would run all over me and has better feet, but there’s no point dribbling in your own half.

“All that ‘flick and roll of the studs’, I’m not an advocate of that. A lot of young players see it on YouTube and think it’s amazing but I don’t like it.

“He has delved to that side too much. His numbers are not good enough, he progressed at Juve but there’s another progression he has to do.

“He should be getting 15 goals a season and dominating games, because he has everything.”
http://www.football365.com/news/lampard-youtube-player-pogba-must-wreck-joses-head

Preach, Frankie, preach!! This is a legend that's seen it all saying it as bluntly as possible, but will show-off Pogba ever learn? I doubt it. If at this age with all the advices for him flying around, he hasn't learned the truth, he probably never will. These youngins have been overpaid hence why they are more concerned with the glam life than carving their names on the history tree.

If Pogba turns out having an average career for United, I'll never blame Mou coz he's given this ninja all the time to grow up, played him in various positions yet no consistency. If at all I'll blame Mourinho, it's definitely for buying him in the first place knowing the kind of unserious player he is.
