CapitalCee: I am not sure if Bruno has the vision/passing range and natural instincts to dictate play - qualities that heralded scholes, hence his seamless transition from AM to CM. For me, i'd rather that Pogba does that CM job - he actually excelled at it during some phases last season. I think this issue of Pogba needing an Ndidi or Kante to perform, is being blown outta proportion to an extent. Even when he fails to pick an important pass, clearly due to excessive showboating, people rush here to tell us "hey, it is because he doesnt have a solid DM". Pogba's inconsistencies are largely due to attitudinal issues. If he puts the club before personal glory, i think we would be fine 4 Likes |

paafin:this matches the percentage and ranking I consider for the teams that can win the EPL, with united with the highest probability and westham with a probability. Tottenham fit surprise people |

BARAJ92: Reason people are saying that Bruno would need to withdraw to the midfield. He is hardworking, if we have Bruno, Pogba and McTom in a 4-3-3 formation. Won’t be bad at all. Just means Bruno needs to be patient on the ball and be prepared to do more short passes for ball retention purposes. |

MRTA7: Are you suggesting that Bruno is more careless than Fred and/or Pogba? He can adjust his game. He needs to do take calculated risks more vs just trial and error erratic passes. Interesting thing is we can have Pogba and Bruno switch RCM and LCM roles easily when we play weaker teams. We must win a major trophy this season. 1 Like |

melodyogonna:2 seasons back, he had a very good season and many expected him to kick off from there but he had a stinker of a season last time hence the disappointment. You actually agree with the point I made so, I really don't understand why you asked the question in the first place... |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by codedguy1(m): 2:35pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
CapitalCee: But the in lies the problem. If he uses only Mctom, we all know he is not that DM we can solely rely on, he is good but not there yet. It then means one of Bruno or Pogba will have to pair with him and that in itself for me will limit those players. Ronaldo demanding for anything can't change anything if we don't get the quality DM we need. Let's see how it goes sha. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Panther7(m): 2:39pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
TheLequte:And some people go as far to defend this same Fred with epistles, I find it amazing, makes you want to question everything. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by codedguy1(m): 2:40pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
nitrogen: Be like say their carelessness dey on the same level o. Just that Freds own is usually more dangerous every time because of the position he plays. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by KingTom(m): 2:56pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
Currently losing a bet placed on who'd score more and generally have more of an impact, between Sancho and Vinicius Akpororo... I'm currently losing, but shey hope dey or make I pull out |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 3:13pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
KingTom: Please this is not an agenda. Sancho starts seasons slowly and gradually gets into his strides, and I think this is what is happening now. But the issue is, will united be patient enough to allow him to settle, considering our attacking options? EPL defences are more organised than that of Bundesliga, as i pointed out before he might struggle in such situations. As for your bet Sancho should surely outperform him, but I doubt he will get the patience to do that? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristineC: 3:32pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
afrodoc2:simple selections can cover the DM. our win % with McFred is actually impressive. sadly, it takes out starting spot of one forward overflowing with talent, but it is what it is for now. I actually think Martial has made a mistake not seeking a move this summer. I hope Ole doesn't act like Moyes who brought Fellaini and began using him in DM instead of SS because of what pressers say or playing "the United way". LvG/Jose came and used him properly, and the impact was clear. 4-2-3-1 is our starting default, so any of these combos should work. - - - McTominay - Fred - - - or - - - Donny - Matic - - - |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by KingTom(m): 3:36pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
CapitalCee:Bro that's my fear, I know what Sancho is capable of and that's why I took that risk, my fear like you pointed out is if he can be given the time to do so. Akpororo leads by 3 goals now |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by adisaaowala: 3:53pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
ChristineC: A manager who knows his onions would even use it to his advantage... Ji sung park (a big game player) couldnt even make the match day squad of the 2008 CL final. A talented Nani and an experienced Giggs also had to watch from the sidelines for considerable parts of the game. Ole should just sort out his best 13-15 players Asap, get a working formation (that can be tweaked, depending on circumstances) and dang - we are good to go. With Sir Alex in charge, we would win atleast 2 trophies this season! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 4:04pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
ChristineC:I mentioned something similar to this which you contested the other day. The reality on ground is that we must play two CDM which takes out one attacking player. This is a must, whether against perceived strong teams or not if we're to have any consistency this season. Having superior attacking firepower won't do shit if we're to win something |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by melodyogonna(m): 4:28pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
patrickmuf:I thought I explained my point. While we all hope to see Martial do well, he has not been consistent enough for us to set a realistic benchmark for him. Let's take you for example, what height have you come to expect him to hit? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by codedguy1(m): 4:46pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
adisaaowala: If he could do this then we wouldn't be complaining na. This is the limitation we are experiencing with our manager. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristineC: 5:52pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
adisaaowala:I couldn't agree more. the only difference then and now is that a £250k weekly player riding the bench week in week out will be ridiculous. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristineC: 6:01pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
eph12:this is with respect to our default formation. Ole has used 4-3-2-1, 4-4-2 diamond, 4-3-3, 3-5-2 (3-4-3/3-4-1-2) and even 4-5-1 (with Lukaku) during his time at the club. he seem to have settled on a 4-2-3-1 which is now default. while rumors (true or not) have it that his preferred is 4-3-3, it's also good he appreciates the fact that he doesn't have the personnel for it. that doesn't mean other formations wouldn't incorporate more attacking/creative options than McFred and still be balanced. there'd be no need for McFred in a 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 diamond for example. |

Panther7: I'll never ever forget what Adam did to Fred during that matcj. At a point I was so angry on his behalf because it seemed as if Adama was targeting him intentionally. Fred played as if he was drunk especially the way he was falling all over the place. |

ChristineC: Ronaldo and Cavani aren't exactly youngsters any longer and may have to be managed properly for optimal form and fitness in the intense EPL. Many games abound - FA cup, CL etc I still think Martial has a role to play in the team - i havent written him off completely |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by olabode89(m): 6:59pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
Mrviktor: Ole has to trust the squad and rotate more often. We should be able to win comfortably with Ronaldo (CF), Sancho (LW), Lingard (AM) and Greenwood (RW) or Cavani (CF), Rashy (LW), Bruno (AM) and Lingard (RW). Ole has to rotate them forwards alot this season. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by olabode89(m): 7:00pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
adisaaowala: I love Martial, but the earlier we sell him the better it will be for him and the club. He gives the vibe of a guy that will end up in Turkey in 2 or 3 years time. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 7:10pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
GloryIsaac: - Martial has always wanted to be a striker. - Mourinho came in and saw him play and decided this guy can't be a striker. -Then Martial started playing from the wings and we loved him. Even with the problem he later had with Jose because of his attitude. - Ole came in and made him the striker straight up and gave him the number 9. - Last year we realized Martial can't be a good striker. - This year we realized Martial can't even take on players again. And now plays like he's wearing Timberland boots. His game has changes totally. He's also lost his speed. Who's at fault? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 7:36pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
ChristoBam: Martial played well under Van Gaal. His next best season (which is the best of his career) actually came under Olé. If you think anyone’s at fault, the numbers are there to tell you who is. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 7:47pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
GloryIsaac: He had a whole great season just after Mourinho left but somehow Mourinho is to blame for ruining him? |
