Chief. Bovi Spillo, can you please explain to us how lack of a good attack makes us lose matches and not lack of a good defense, in just a few words please.
Even after reading the post you quoted and still don't get it then I can't help you.

Adama, one trick pony?
No end product?
Not a starter?

Abeg which kind thing person dey read for here?
The problem is that you don't watch Wolves that's why you're spewing the above lies. Wolves have just signed Semedo to ensure Traore returns back to the RW. Even as a wing back, that guy tormented Manchester City. He created at least 3 clear cut goal scoring chances.

In the league, as an out and out right winger, there's none close to him. FYI, Salah and Mahrez are RWFs...
LMFAO....... Stop showing your ignorance. It's becoming clear daily you don't know much.

* He is like fellani useful in only one aspect of the game, Beat the fullbacks with his pace and put in a cross. He is one dimensional.

*Adama has 5goals in 100+ Epl appearance.

* He was benched 11times in the league last season. He is not a certified starter for wolves.

@ the bolded, don't expect anything less from a PL club, na their way.

If we can't get Sancho, Adama will do a decent job for us, pace and power + take ons, his delivery is massively better than anything we have on that RW.

And for a relatively "smash and grab" Wolves his end product is decent.

Better to wear boxers than allow SARS carry you naked. angry
LMFAO cheesy cheesy

na the defense beat Chelsea and City 3 times each abi, No be the "toothless" attack grin grin
Please I don't have time for comedy and unserious posts. Our defense last season was among the best in the league,we never conceded more than two goals and last time I checked we conceded the least goals from open play. If our attack wasn't toothless we wouldn't have lost some matches.

Abeg we already have too many doctors at the club cry

Oya make them bid for Adama na grin cheesy
The price wolves called the last time Liverpool were interested was £75million. In my opinion Adama is not what we need. He is a one trick pony with no end product hell he is not even a certified starter for wolves.

LMFAO.......Anybody that says ole doesn't have tactics or system is probably delusional. The man just finished 3rd, beat Chelsea and City 3 times each last season and only lost one league game against all top 6 team with the so called
useless defense
. I keep saying it our defense is ok,its our toothless attack most times that needs more attention.

We all know sancho is fucking expensive!
But ain't it the scouts abi board's responsibility to find an alternativehuh
Even if he is not up to jadon Sancho's level, buh someone better than what we have and can give greenwood a boost

David Neres is available for around 40milli
Tho I wonder why we aren't considering him, since jadon's price is proving to be an issue shocked sad
LMFAO.......this is why no one is interested in Neres.

Patrickmuf1:
Exposed? You must be a clown.

Sancho is good as I have always maintained and for that price, I wouldn't mind but only after we have strengthened other areas of the pitch. The current board will not sign anymore players if there spend 108m pounds on Sancho so rather than spend 108m pounds and lock up, why not address the LB and LCB position so that Maguire can go back to playing RCB and use the change to buy a less expensive RWF that will alternate with Greenwood...

Is the above too difficult for you and your goons to understand or you want me to translate it to your local dialect?
LMFAO.....if you think a left back/ Centre back is more important than a world class winger then you are not just the a clown but the entire circus. Our defense is ok. We didn't concede more than 2 goals in a league match last season even Liverpool can't boost of that. Attack has been United's main weakness ever since Fergie left. We struggle to create chances and score goals. In the past seven seasons, we couldn't break the 70 goal mark in the league once.

Lol... How many clubs can do such massive strong substitution?
What's wrong in subbing in James to play his natural strong position?
Please stop going on and on about James. He is not good enough. Playing him on the the left is not going to change anything either.

melodyogonna:
We're not? Think he said we should drop our current formation for something like 352 to be able to maximize the use of players we currently have but he fears we don't have the fullbacks to stretch the widths. I pointed out that we've used the 352 successfully in the past with our current fullbacks, and I don't think anything is wrong with the 4231 we're using currently using.
Ok bro

Ur attack is poor but it's our own that is great abi?


We sold 20 league goal striker and got no replacement. Meanwhile you got Hazard, Rodrygo, Jovic for 200m plus in ur attack alone and you wan dey shalaye...

If u dont gedfifok undecided
LMFAO.....How did you get this from his previous post?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by spillo1: 9:39am On Sep 17, 2020
melodyogonna:
But our current formation works against small teams as far as we have a creative NO 10, currently we have 3 versatile creative midfielders that can play the NO 10 role, 4 if you count Mata.
Again I don't see any issues with the formation we play, we need a RW and a LB, those are the places we have issues.
Now you have lost me bro. We are not talking about our current formation.

hensben:
To be honest, Havertz is just like Pogba, they don’t bring that X factor into a team rather ice on the cake type of play. Bruno is better in that regard. I love serious and determined footballer with talent, that even if you are having an off day on the pitch your present will still be felt. Havertz is serious and determined but his play is too soft, he should try to go hard a bit(he is still young though so I will excuse him for now irrespective of his signing fee). On the other hand, pogba play is hard but he is not psychologically matured, hence the lack of X factor in his game.
LMFAO....This is straight up bullshit.

Still. We drew Liverpool, beat city and Chelsea with the formation , I don't see what the issue is.
Now notice all the teams you listed are the big teams where we have to surrender possession. The op was talking about using it as our main formation for next season even against smaller teams. It won't work and you will be playing most players out of position. Where do you fit the 5horseme?

So you are saying OGS has no other RW option but Sancho? As in OGS expect the board to get him Sancho or nothing? Someone mentioned Marcus Edward (with a £15m release clause) up there, make OGS dey wait for Sancho. Sebi season don start.....
LMFAO..... That's how Chelsea lost out on Van Dijk and bought Rudiger because of Cheaper and better alternative. Why didn't klopp buy cheaper and alternative options when he needed Allison/Van Dijk?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by spillo1: 11:19pm On Sep 16, 2020
TrebleChamp:
What i stated was that only Sancho will not improve the overall performance of the team, like we have seen with all the other expensive players we bought. Abi na Sancho go defend when Magwaya decide to turn off, or play LB if Shaw gets injured? And like i stated 2 pages back, i wasn't the one that pointed Bruno to the board when OGS was chasing expensive English midfielders for his DNA project. The Scouts did a good job identifying Bruno as a better option to Maddison, Longstaff etc, the board did the rest by ensuring we didn't over pay to sign him. The Scouts should also find us a very good but no so expensive RW (preferably left footed) and use the balance of the fee to sign a pacy CB and/or a Striker. Truth is the Manager and the board no ready sign any player, VDB was given to us by VDS as a show of affection to his former club. I have not heard OGS in any presser complain or mildly state his disappointment on the lack of positive activities in the transfer window, so it's safe to say OGS is happy with his squad and will be rightly abused if the season doesn't go well for him and us....
All those positions you are concerned about are not a priority. The priority for Ole is getting a world class left winger which is Sancho. I know the popular opinion is that our defence is dodgy, and we need a proper CB partner for Maguire and left back but last season United only conceded 3 more goals than Liverpool who have the best defense in the league. No one will ever mention this part because it's doesn't suit their agenda of our defense being useless. Now when you look at goals for column, United only scored 66goals compared to Liverpool's 85 and Man City 102..!!. This is where we are majorly behind and need to improve the most. Buying cheap and average wingers won't help us.

If you insist, now read. We bought all those expensive players i listed for big transfer fee abi? (We have also paid huge fee to sign other players that also didn't work for the team e.g Dimaria, Sanchez on absolutely stupid wage). This players i listed have not lived up to the huge fee paid to sign them, hence some fans here (me inclusive, just that i prefer we use that huge £108 plus some extra millions to sign a not to expensive rw, a lb and probably a striker) are still complaining that the team is not good enough. So how would paying €120m to sign 1 player improve the overall persformance of the team? A lot of you hailed the board for the Bruno deal as well as the VDB deal, why una want the board to go back to its former Maga status? I don try
Ok fine. Now Sancho fee is 108million,since you are against spending that amount of money on a single player because according to you Sancho will not improve us, so which players do you want to board to spend that amount on that will improve us instantly?

So na if them pay €120m to sign only Sancho naim we go win the league? The squad is is not good, so the manager should spend available money to improve the squad in every areas lacking. We tried it with Pogba, Maguire, Bissaka, Lukaku, etc with no major improvement to the squad , so why should we now use a huge chunk of whatever the transfer budget is to sign one player again?
LMFAO.......Sorry what do you mean by the bold?

PietroRick:
That or we use 352 and depend on our fullbacks (gulps) for width
The only issue with this 352 is where do you accommodate AWB. He cannot player RCB or RWB. Also it's a very boring formation and can't accommodate our 5 Horsemen.

De Gea - 18m (2011)

Wan-Bissaka - 50m
Lindelof - 31m
Maguire - 80m
Shaw - 30m

Fred - 50m
Matic - 35m
Pogba - 89m
Bruno - £47m (Add ons should see it reach 67m)
VDB - 38M

Martial - 57m
James - 15m

You still have Bailly, Dalot, Mata etc...If our squad is shit then it's an expensive shit...

Let's compare to Liverpool

...........................Allison.................................
TAA........ Maguire....... Van Dijk...... Rovertson
..............................Fabinho....................
.......................................Pogba..............
..............................Bruno......................
........ Salah........... Martial.............. Mane...

That's 5 of our players in the team...

Compared to City...

...........................Ederson (Debatable) ......................
Walker.......... Maguire..... Laporte........ Shaw
... Rodri/Gundogan (Matic can easily slot in........
................ KDB..................... Pogba..................
............................ Bruno.............................
......................... Aguero...... Martial................

That's 5 of our players in the team...

Compared to Chelsea...
...................................De Gea......................
Azpi................Lindelof....... Maguire......Shaw........
.......................................Kante................................
............................Bruno..............Pogba..................
.................Pulisic.........Werner.............Martial..........

That's 7 of our players against 5 for Chelsea...

Compared to Arsenal, only Auba, Tierney and maybe Gabriel (Questionable) will make our team...

Compared to Leicester...
Only Vardy, Ndidi, Pereira and maybe Soyuncu will make our team...

Compared to Spurs, only Kane, Son and Alderweireld will make our team...

Argue with the combined teams above and tell me if our squad is really shit or it's our coach that has not been eble to maximize the potentials of the Players we have?

If you even try to place players on the bench, most of our players will earn a place on the bench ahead of other starters for teams like Leicester, Arsnela and Spurs...Only City and Liverpool best us...We even have a better bench than Pool...
LMFAO....So in a nutshell what you are implying is give klopp/pep our current squad and they will win the league?
