dubylhover: My thought all along has been that Schneirderlin is a DM. Even whenever they paired him with Carrick, people said 'two DMs' But since Rooney as been playing as CM, people have changed their mind that Schneirderlin is CM, not DM. It's looks like people said that because of Rooney. Ukwu!!! |

Diademk07:If the players you've can't play in such way, why try to make them play in same way and why even buy them in the 1st place? We've never won an EPL game we conceded 1st. Who's to blame for that also? We've even become worse than last season. If we cannot make top 4 in this season most top teams were shite then, we need an immediate change. He should get the fück out of here! |

elampiro: derlin is a dm,dont mind other talks |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 11:48am On May 11, 2016 |
elampiro:Don't get it twisted! Schneiderlin is a DM. A defensive box-box DM just as Ramires, Vidal, Khedira etc. Those kind of players can only complement deep lying playmakers like Pirlo, Alonso, Schweinsteiger and maybe Carrick, who's not a deeplying playmaker but has acted as one to orchestrate play and control the midfield due to our lack of. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dubylhover(m): 11:50am On May 11, 2016 |
Diademk07: derlin is very decent on d ball,but it just seems that under lvg everything has gone bad..now hes at risk for euros |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 11:50am On May 11, 2016 |
Diademk07: Fallacy. Our substitutes usually have more pass accuracy. Yesterday Lingard had the highest pass accuracy, he completed 5 of his 6 passes. Januzaj 1/1, 100% pass accuracy. The other day Rooney had 100% pass accuracy coming as a a sub. The more you are involved, the tendencies for you to make mistakes get higher. |

dubylhover: Carrick had been tired since 2011 /2012. 2012/2013 we were bossed in midfield by Everton, Tottenham, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Madrid. In some of the return legs of those games, SAF had to protect our midfield by playing Phil Jones there. Phil Jones took out Fellaini in return leg against Everton. We lost to Spurs at Old Trafford, but in Whitehart lane they were lucky to get a draw against us, Jones was used to pad our midfield they couldn’t get going. Jones went on to play many more games in midfield and having a run there. Even against Stoke City. Carrick has been tired. We have long concluded that here. |

chrisley024:The team weren't playing possession football against Westham though. Infact, the team looked as a sunday league team camping in their half. Passing the ball around has actually helped the team to avoid threat because it would do us no good if we constantly lost the ball with no one to recover the ball as quick as Kante or no one to take on players in the midfield to stretch play like Kante does. The fact is teams that are doing well in counter attacking set up like Dortmund, Leicester has good agile players with good ability on the ball as opposed to ours. Our team on other hand has no quick agile midfielder nor one with good ability on the ball. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:00pm On May 11, 2016 |
Diademk07: Carrick was not the only reason we had a run of wins. Young was a beast in left wing . Fellaini was a chest control master. Smalling and Jones had a good partnership. Carrick, Young and Jones had injury and couldn't play against Chelsea, then we lost 3 in a row. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 12:01pm On May 11, 2016 |
elampiro:Tht's because they made little or none failed passes. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 12:03pm On May 11, 2016 |
elampiro:Lol! We've trashed this out sometime ago. It's absurd for you to think our defence helped in our attcak. Anyway, we actually had games we won without Jones in it. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:06pm On May 11, 2016 |
Diademk07: Is not when you make few wrong/failed passes that your pass accuracy gets high? This man, did you obtain a Junior School leaving certificate? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 12:08pm On May 11, 2016 |
dubylhover:As a box-box midfielder, he has more passing option around him to quickly pass the ball to, as opposed to the lone DM role. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 12:10pm On May 11, 2016 |
elampiro:Lol! Facts has proved it though. All you can do is to keep dribbling out spits! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:11pm On May 11, 2016 |
Diademk07: Yes, I proved to you the defence helped the attack. We won the games very heavily when we had young defenders who could push forward and recover quickly. Once they injured our attack which was intact struggled. Carrick has been weak since 2011. His movement has been slow since then. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dubylhover(m): 12:13pm On May 11, 2016 |
elampiro: bro that season,carrick was d best midfielder in d epl..you cant just call 2 or 3 games to downplay his work that season...his inclusion in d pfa team of d year was no fluke..i can actuall tell you a player whos been finished since 2012...wazza |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 12:13pm On May 11, 2016 |
elampiro:He's still our best visionary passer though. And his anticipation and awareness on the ball is unmatched in the squad. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:14pm On May 11, 2016 |
Diademk07: Which facts. Stop disgracing yourself by posting ignorantly. Carrick had a poor pass accuracy. It beats my imagination you don't know what pass accuracy is. I shouldn’t be arguing with you. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 12:18pm On May 11, 2016 |
elampiro:If you make more passes irrespective of your failed passes or made few failed passes out of the little passes you made, you're likely to have high pass percentage. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:18pm On May 11, 2016 |
Diademk07: He has been beasted by such players like Toure, Wanyama, Dembele, Ramires, Ramsey, etc. We need another. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:24pm On May 11, 2016 |
dubylhover: That was the season Rio Ferdinand also was included in PFA team of the season. . The season RVP and Rooney were heading away balls from our goal line. We played very close to our goalkeeper than ever before and heavily protected our midfield and defence with Jones and even forward players. Carrick has been done since 2011. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 12:26pm On May 11, 2016 |
elampiro:Most of them are box-box midfielders! check! The onus is on the box-box midfielder deployed alongside Carrick to do his work against the aforementioned players and not Carrick. That said, we shouldn't be depending on an aged player and actually needs an upgrade. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:30pm On May 11, 2016 |
Immediately SAF left and attacking players were asked to focus on attacks, our defenders and midfielders were exposed. Opposition breezed passed them like they were not there. It didn’t take time for Vidic and Rio to retire. Carrick is being carried on year after year. We need another to play there. But first we need a new coach. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:33pm On May 11, 2016 |
Diademk07: You are confused. A DM does not mark a DM. How can Alonso and Busquet be marking each other? You no know ball. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 12:35pm On May 11, 2016 |
Diademk07:Pass accuracy= (completed passes/attempted passes) X 100%. It is a simple thing. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 12:47pm On May 11, 2016 |
Fact is Carrick has always struggled against a physical and pacy side. He has been OK though but age is no longer on his side cos he's losing even the passing accuracy he is hailed for. If we're going to play quick football then he and Blind should take the bench. Maybe time to say farewell, same with Rooney(don't even know what this one is currently good at). |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dubylhover(m): 12:48pm On May 11, 2016 |
elampiro: im done |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 12:58pm On May 11, 2016 |
elampiro:Lol! The aforementioned players weren't holding players though. When Alonso was at Madrid, His task was to mark Messi runs while Khedira was tasked with marking Xavi and Iniesta. Ozil was tasked with Busquets. Holding midfielders don't mark no 8. |
