^^ He actually stated the fact. More ball possession denies the opponents the chance to hurt you thereby helping the defence.

Truly, our defence improved but with the help of using 2 DM that are not adventurous and our style of passing it around patiently until a chance opens up.

Another explanation is old age.
The only blemish on benitez record was his time with inter milan
Ancelotti's madrid lost by four goals to At.Madrid.

Ancelloti is partly responsible for Madrid collapse. He sold Alonso, sold Di Maria and bought players who could only play accurate passes without applying much energy to their games . Alonso, Modric and Maria midfield was not really physical but they managed to sit back to close the gaps and once the ball in won, Di Maria carries it forward with great speed running between players or exploiting wide gaps left in the middle as Ronaldo and Bale take the defenders away.

This time the midfielders are too soft. Modric doesn't have someone behind him to act as a brick wall. So his ability to express himself is limited. Counter attacks are less effective since no one can do long balls out of defensive area or a midfielder who can carry the ball forward.

Madrid defence has always looked poorly organized since last season. By the way where is Pepe?

weedtaker:
seems lyk martiaL won't be fit enough to start against PSV. Same goes to our abino captain and ander herrera.. Jones own no be problem, Mcnair is back

Abeg Jones should be back against Leicester, West Ham and Bournemouth. Stoke is still far away.

We are very comfortable and most confident at the back when we have Smalling and Jones there.

Some players sef don't learn lesson. Jones tried to play on with injury for about 10-15 minutes. That can aggravate the problem.

I don't really think it was his decision to sell maria and alonso while a fine DM is already old

Madrid problem is from the top, no coach can handle that job compare the situation with Barca where any manager can coach to win a trophy.

How many goals from Kane now? Maybe he's not going to be a flash in the pan. Time will tell sha

Kane has 8 EPL goals and he didn't start scoring early. He's 3rd on the scorer chart. If he gets 20 this season he tried. At least Spurs enjoyed him for two seasons. I think only injury can prevent him from reaching 20 goals.

I remember Khedeira too. They didn't bother to replace Khedeira and Alonso. All they want is fancy. It's on their head.

so because of that we shouldn't give dem de praise they deserve? Man.city plays with fernando and fernandinho yet they still conceed goals more than united and score more than united, the philosophy is not to be blamed abeg, its the attackers.

i'm also relaxed when jones nd smalling are the ones at the CB position, i'm just saying that loosing jones now won't be much of a problem considering the options we've got available in his position.

True on Sherigham. I wonder why SAF did not even bring Alan Shearer to Old Trafford. Alan Shearer single handedly made middle table teams to be league contenders/winners. If he had played in a club like United he could have helped in Europe big nights.

fergie tried to sign him, but he turned us down.

injured i think.

What's happening to this thread? Is it on FP?! Cos it seems its getting polluted gradually by those who can't post comment(s) without insulting others!
Do they need to abuse or curse someone just because they ain't having the same believe, opinion or understanding of a situation(s)?
That's kinda childish? They should desist from it henceforth!

memphis na one season DUTCH LEAGUE wonder, you no fit compare him nd greizman and who told you Greizman doesn't have all what you listed out?? He has Pawa nd body balance more dan neymar, so becuz of dat one, na en mean say Neymar no go thrive for EPL?? I won't go into the Mane ish cause you said you'll PERSONALY love man.utd to get him, so no probs, na ur choice.
Aubamayang on the other hand currently shits on robben, bale n ronaldo this season, you really need to start following dis guys.

If Memphis had only one good season in the Dutch League (meaning he might have fluked it) what about his performances in the World Cup?

I didn't really rate Neymar that highly but he's shown he can hold his own 85% of the time irrespective of team mates. He has earned my respect. There's no competition between Neymar & Greizmann!
You say Memphis has only one good season yet Greizmann scored 40 goals in 5 years for Soceidad before last season's limelight & Memphis scored 43 goals in 4 years before his United move.

Aubameyang is a good forward but he doesn't shiit on nothing. Reus would have been a better option to instantly improve United but can't stay fit.

Make no mistake about it bros, if Gareth Bale returns to the EPL - 90% sure he becomes the best player in the league that very same season. I'll still pay £80m for Bale if he becomes available next season! or £60m for Ronaldo.

Meanwhile, man utd's decision to stop de gea's move was a brave one. That dude is my favourite goal stopper for now.

you can't use an international tournament performance of just 2matches to judge if a player is really that good, A player is termed tested&trusted when he plays two or more full seasons in a league and shows how consistently good he is, a player is termed promising and highly rated when he has 1 brilliant tournament or 1 brilliant league campaign, fact remains he [depay] is a nobody before the world cup, then after the world cup he showed some glimpse of being the next big thing nd then took his league by storm to really tell the world that he has what it takes to be one of the greats in world football.. depay is just a golden boy with promising talent, while greizman is already a tested and trusted established star. While Depay is known as a good goalscorer, Greizman on the hand isn't far off, he scored 22goals in 37app for A.madrid last season nd that's an impresive feet for a player who doesn't score that much.., when it comes to productivity [goal+assist combined] . greizman shits on depay. Greizman was sociedad star player during their top 4 finish in la liga, and has been consistent from then till now so the limelight ish didn't start last season.. He might not be on neymars level but he's a very brilliant player and he's probably top 5 in the world in his position, Aubamayang on the hand if bought will make our attack dangerous, nd Yes, he CURRENTLY shits on players lyk bale ron nd robben.,
nd concerning the bale ish, while its really true that he would be the best player in england if he comes back to the league, I don't think spending 80mil on him would be a wise move.

I don't even know what his problem is. Maybe he's pushing for Giggs to takeover or something.

Either way, he's making sense but he keep repeating the same thing & is now sounding like nonsense.
