That's what people are finding hard to understand.

A specialist is who we need in that position

Weird that anyone’s finding it hard to understand. This thing was talked about almost three years ago.

McFred is functioning as one player, effectively reducing our squad number to ten angry

Like, we already have a self-imposed red card before every match.

Is it the same Fred starting for Brazil along with Casemiro or another one?

Fred plays up the pitch when Casemiro’s there.

So he’ll essentially be competing with Bruno and Eriksen for position.

Casemiro balls for both club and country. Why should Fred start with him when he's here to chasing Fred and his partner away?
Fred and Casemiro are not fighting for the same starting position. If Fred can start along side Casemiro for the national team what makes you think he can't at United? The sample size is already there staring at your face.

We are saying the same thing. Getting Casemiro doesn't remove Fred or Mctominay from the starting eleven unless we bring in another midfielder. That is what I am making known to the other moniker.

Why must he start? So we are buying Casemiro to unlock Fred?

Fred should take a seat. Come up as a sub. The sample size has been tested only in Brazil not in the EPL

Which player are you even comparing to Casemiro in this squad.

Then need to put this guy in firing squad.
The guy is stupid. I try my best not be abusive on this thread. But he's very stupid.

Dropping Useless theories about progressing the ball from the deep and what not. What happens out of possession?

Man said we already have people that do what Casemiro does. So many foolish talks and useless arrogance on top.

I was thinking like this before. But two matches in got me wondering what happens out of possession. This is not Ajax in the Dutch league. We don't have the best individual players by a mile and we'll never have.

What happens out of possession? Who are the ball winners in the midfield? We'll get smoked.

We need someone like Casemiro. If not him, we need another CDM.

Importantly, we need another CM as well.

Correct, because I can bet that signing De jong to play in front of that leaky defense will end in premium tears.

So obvious. Dey talk press resistant kinikan like we'll always be in possession of the ball. We need that as well. That'll make out midfield top notch.

But it's stupid to think that someone that's been playing as an 8 for the last 3 years coming in to this battered EPL team to play as a DM is better than arguably the best CDM in the world. Very stupid talks that can only come out from our fanbase.

What do you mean by what happens out of possession? When Man city and Liverpool are out of possession or loses the ball what do they do? The same principle applies be it the Dutch league, Epl , Champions league or even division 2.

They've got an adequate defensive cover and ball winners in the midfield. We won't have that in that system. Dejong's strengths are Passing, concentration and dribbling. He's moderate at best when it comes to tackles.

With the style ETH wants to play, we'll be very susceptible to dangerous counter attacks whenever there's a sudden loss of possession. We need ball winners in the midfield. ETH definitely thought Mctominay was one until he saw him losing out on duels back to back.

Ajax want to keep hold of Antony and #mufc are reluctant to go higher than this week’s €80m bid. A deal for PSV winger Cody Gakpo is seen as more likely of the two. [@lauriewhitwell, @David_Ornstein]

Ajax can't get this type ofmoney for Antony again.

Simple as ABC. That's why we get piped easily. No ball winners. Chelsea has Kante, Liverpool Fab, City Rodri. And someone is asking why we need a DM

The thing dey sweet to talk. Check my previous posts, you'll see me talking about how FDJ is what we need. I was thinking Fred/Mctominay with Dejong as a double pivot.

But how can anyone watch that match and not realize how that'd be a huge disaster.

Dejong and Casemiro will be a dream.

We need to do anything possible to restrict McFred from the starting lineup.

I'll love to see those guys come in. If we can't get De Jong, let's get Savic.

Every possession based team is susceptible to counter attacks so that's nothing new or relevant. They have a well defensive plan and shape when out possession not because they have ball winners or defensive cover. What each coach tries to do is limit those situations which can only happen when you have players capable of keeping the ball from the attackers down to goalkeepers and were everybody presses together under a coherent plan and pattern.

Good, we can't do that here with De Gea, Shaw, Maguire, Dalot and Mc Fred.

Ball winners are vital. Never said it's the only reason. They have all of these things but the ball winners are very important in that system. Pep is probably the best at limiting such situations and he plays with Rodri/Fernadinho. Probably still regrets not starting one of those two in the UCL final against Chelsea.
Fernadinho left and he brought in Philips. Let's forget theories and talk reality.
