In a few years time,
Rooney would be coach of Man United.
Gerrard, coach of Liverpool.
Lampard, coach of Chelsea.
Who would be coach of Arsenal?

I also use 90cm dish I have tried all the method posted here (tilt your dish up by 1inch yet no way, skew your LNB to 2 oclock I did this all through yester-night when I get home still no way) which magic others that are receiving it used to track this bard 26 E I don't know I am getting 28.E quite well but 26.E is still a no no thing for me PLEASE MAKE SOMEONE US OOO (Especially those of us in Rivers State that have tracked this birds.

It is difficult with small dish for those in the South.

sod09:
dat jus sum up aw stupid nd dull he's A manager that cant teach his players aw to survive 10men

You are wrong. Again!
Arsenal is the ONLY club with more wins than losses when down to 10 men.

elrony:
He plays as a RCM or LCM alongside Herrera,with Carrick as the pivot; there's no 10 in a 4-3-3 bro.

Interchanging positions during play doesn't mean he plays 10.

A 10 is a central attacking midfielder.

From what I see United play, Pogba plays as a 10 most times.

For example, I saw the game against Liverpool, Pogba started as the CAM. When Rooney came in, he dropped into CDM to pair with Herrera.

Sometimes, a manager may even play a double 10.

Midfield Positions:

Central Defensive- holding, box to box.

Central Attacking- playmaker

Wing Attacking- wingers of which there are different types nowadays.

Most recently we now have Deep Lying Playmakers as made popular by Pirlo.

Football is evolving and new formations and positions are introduced. Some are even confusing and a mixture. For example, Wingbacks and Sweeper Keepers (popularised by Neuer).

So just keep yourself abreast and follow the trend.

Nothing wrong with me, but with your a40. Feeding peeps with lies here and would never stop. I know a responsible lady could change him for good. Since you are close to him, may be you can talk sense to his empty skull.

Nwoke mema ari, e lieya nwanyi.

When a full grown man keeps acting childishly, get a woman for him.

SIRcumalot:
this would be just fine if Muller starts in place of lewadonski or Raul for front,you just let him play himself into scoring form again.
now that the goals aren't coming can you tell us why we should crowbar him into the first team when Munich has better options?

It largely depends on the Gaffer.

Ancelotti plays a 4-5-1 diamond midfield with speedy wingers who drifts infield.

This style cannot work for Muller.

Muller suits a 4-3-3 where the front 3 are allowed to roam.

This is Pep's style.

elrony:
In Mou's 4-3-3, which has been our most played formation , Pogba doesn't play as a DM nor a 10.

All this ppl sef ...

So what does he play

kokaneprodigy:
Uve finally confirmed u are a dunce, there's nothing like Central midfielder in a 4-2-3-1 set up, u either a DM or AM. The 2 in a 4-2-3-1 are called double pivot and are occupying the DM role. It's in 4-4-2 for example u talk abt central Midfielders CM, a 4-2-3-1 already splits the Midfielders into DM and AM.

In elamps voice u no know ball

If after this u still don't understand then ur case is beyond redemption.

Correct!

You know ball my guy.

eph12:
Pogba played as a centre midfielder and his role was b2b. Fella played as a centre midfielder also and had a defensive or holding role

I won't get tired of teaching you until you have sense

Both box to box and holding are DM. The latter sits, the former roams. Sometimes we mix them up erronously.

kokaneprodigy:
Shey I told y'all then , that Ramsey/Xhaka is recipe for disaster. Xhaka is best as box to box, with his shot accuracy he'll be a plus for us going forward. Xhaka's strong point is not winning tackles and when u consider Ramsey will leave him out alone in the cold it gets even scarier. But Ramsey must play all thanks to Wenger. I don't know y Coq can't be paired with Xhaka. I'm just tired. I'm not expecting anything at all from the team as long as Wenger keeps doing his thing, let him just get the fck out at the end of the season.

Pairing Xhaka and Ramsey is not irrational. Xhaka has the passing range to build from the back unlike Ramsey and Coquelin. He also can tackle. When you have a DM who can do this it is exceptional. In their pair, Ramsey plays the B2B, and he did quite well yesterday.

For Coquelin, if paired with Xhaka, can he play box to box? If Xhaka plays box to box does he have the pace?

When AW pairs Xhaka with Le Coq it is usually against big sides so that while Xhaka sits, Le Coq hassles the opposition.

It's all about tinkering, depending on the opposition.

Olayinkaoj:
I have audio on my AMC channels. I use 4669x. It it not a general problem.

The issue I am having with 16° E is when I move from one AMC channel to another, it turns blank and when I restart the reciever, it comes up again.

You may try to restart your receiver when you get to the particular AMC you desire.

same here...

edoyad:
Xhaka is proving himself the kind of player we don't need. What's the point in missing 2 or 3 games every other month. I'd rather keep him on the bench in that case.

He is very physical and we lack that.

He only needs to bring some discipline to his game just like Wayama.

If he gets a ban, we will miss him.

raumdeuter:
To prove you are not certain Stake money on it. Chelsea wins this league $500 bet. An additional $500bet that they will be champion before gameweek 38

DEAL?

No Money. But then...

raumdeuter:
How many points lead do they have at the top of the league currently? If they win today their lead can go up to 8-9points

In EPL, you are still not certain. Bit in BLiga, its goodbye hello blues gone home for holidays...

If Giroud scores, to keep his place next match.

Ghen ghen

Kelechi was best U17 player na. Or am I mistaken?

Ibime:
What was Rauls greatest strength?

Some players are not easily detectable by the eyes. No one watches football to follow off the ball movement, but 90% of work is done off the ball.

So true.

Some people don't know how to watch ball. They will just fix their eyes on the round white leather, then come out to talk rubbish.

Muller's off the ball runs inbetween the FB and the CB splits defences into shreds. That's why he get scoring chances. He is not the orthodox winger, he is the type that opens up spaces with movement rather than with the ball. That in itself is a skill. A mental skill.

This Liverpool loss nicely sets up their clash against Chelsea.
Will they capitulate?

Roland17:
Our dear brother k. Iheanacho can kiss his place on that City roster bye bye.. With the arrival of Jesus, he did not even make the bench today. I think he should start looking for another opportunity.

Don't be too sure. Kelechi has a high goal/min.

This Jesus may be overated because he is Brazilian.

He and Kelechi played the same tournament that Kelechi bossed him.

This is football, anything can happen.

This draw too sweet. Hope we take advantage...

chrisley024:
Your analogy here doesn't fit. It is not like Kolarov has been known as a high quality LB (he's just there) and dude has been dwindling while Monreal has been better in recent times.
Even a blind man knows Lukaku cannot bench Aguero but can bench Iheanacho comfortably.

Note that my argument has nothing to do with Pep vs whoever cos I see it being too early. We've seen coaches perform well in their 1st season, fail in subsequent seasons and get sacked, and vice versa.

Your assertions here show that my analogy fits.

Good quality has to do with abilities. Performance is what you do with what you've got.

Kolarov is a set piece guy, Monreal is not. Kolarov is better on crosses, speed, arial balls etc. Monreal is only better on one on one situations.

Comparing Lukaku and Iheanacho, the former has more pace, dribbling, strength, and agility. Iheanacho has better team play.

I am looking at quality not performance here.

You might replace Gundogan with Toure if you want to have a go at his injury records....

chrisley024:
Monreal is currently better than Clichy/Kolarov. The defence belongs to arsenal and the attack to city.

Coq is better at doing his defensive duties while Fernandinho is better on the ball.

Is it Bellerin that was roasted vs B'moth you call best RB? Dude is still average defending, covered mostly by his pace, while good going forward.

There are ways of rating player quality (quality not performance).

A player can contribute more to his team but that does not imply that he has more quality.

Take for instance, Tom Heaton; the goalie with the best save/shot. He may be great with Burnley, but would be back up to De Gea if he finds himself at United.

Again, Lukaku may be near the top of goal scorer chart, but if he joins City he would sit on the bench.

So saying Monreal is a better LB than Kolarov is eroneous, because even Monreal was meant to be backup to Gibbs who himself was backup to Clichy.

Eruditor:
I think a silly and sentimental position will be one in which an outlier 35 year old striker is being used as evidence that being 30+ is good for a defence or team. The example continues to even fall flat on its head when we also realize that the 35 year old's team in question sit below the team you are trying to mock.

Martial, Mikhi, Rash, Baily, Jones, Rojo, Smallings, Shaw, Darmian, Herrera, Mata etc are also looking at you.

Yes Pep in his press conference said so. He had to say that or lambast most of his aged core who in return will go on a spree of 6 losses so that the Manager would get fired. Every manager must be as egomaniacal and asinine as Mou was last season, Roy Keane has been as a manager, or better still, as you expect them to be.

What you see is self-deceit and that's fair. I see a poor game-master who keeps changing the rules to accommodate the excuses he is likely to make come season end. After all, Pep is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't win a title- in your own small smug world.

Lets keep pun aside.

We all know that for defenders, the older the better. So if I use a 35yo striker as comparison, I am only doing you a favour because no City defender is past 32.

And no, Pep is an acclaimed great manager no doubt, I am only using the EPL as a confirmation test. If he wins it the result is positive, if not...
