Elxandre: But he's got a definite role! All Herrera needs to do is to carve out his niche.. At least, we already know he's not a quality no 10 nor a playmaking midfielder like he was believed to be. So what exactly is he? Maybe a defensive box-box CM like Kante but we all know Kante's defensive skills and reading trumps that of Herrera's. He would need to keep improving that aspect of his game. |

weedtaker: But Jose said he's adapting to a United style of attacking football since he's more defensive in the past. So since he wants to play an attacking footie, Aubameyang is the man for him. Ibra go soon turn 36 next year. We need a new striker. |

sinizia: What would you then say about Kane? Also, at his best, his vision and linkup play are quality! But you're right, we need to do better than a 36 yrs old striker. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elrony(m): 6:59pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
Abeg sinizia, no forget to tell Mou to sign a midfielder, Carrick is aged and needs retirement, Pogba can't be trusted! ![]() |

elrony: Pardon me, thought twas him. Our next match is away at Crystal Palace, then away at West Brom. We need to start picking up maximum points. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 7:04pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
Kagawa10: I don't know how we do it, but Kane doesn't score against us. He doesn't even play well against us. He's scored all the top dogs but United cage him all the time. It's a mystery to me. Long may it continue Sha. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 7:06pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
elrony: Walahi, we need Carrick's permanent replacement. It's a taboo that our best holding DM is 36. Kai, we need to look forward and not keep recycling old men. |

elrony: Abeg ooo people that saw positives in our games even when we were constantly eating draw soup know themselves. My comments on draw soup were even a form of lamenting. So how I take become sa on positives to Mourinho dey wonder me. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Kagawa10: 7:10pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
sinizia: I don't even rate him. He's like a poor man's Aguero but sluggish! Capable of the odd moment of brilliance especially while putting his physique to good use but offers little else in the game. He still young though. |

Herrera is the player who gives stability to the team, take Herrera away from this team, you will see Manu become cowardly and dominated in the midfield against technical teams. To me Herrera is the player Mourinho can't do without in Manu, he has really helped the team in terms of pressing. At times when he goes for the ball, and he couldn't retrieve the ball, he points to space where any surrounding Manu players should cover so as to retrieve the ball back. 1 Like |

forap: Stability kor! Carrick is that player.. No doubt that Herrera's pressing has been important considering the slow paced Carrick and Pogba's listless display but the team stability is Carrick. Carrick's reading of the game and ability to close down the space in the midfield is top notch! Not forgetting his ability to dictate the play from deep! |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 7:19pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
Kagawa10: I think he's a good striker but the praises he's getting is way over the top. This dude has scored against 21 of the 29 teams he's faced. That's a good record. I didn't want him at United coz we'd have to pay exorbitantly for him. I'm glad he's signed a new contract meaning he'll be costing up to 90m by now. A good way to make sure United don't waste another money on a player not worth it. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by forap(m): 7:20pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
Kagawa10: Play Carrick, Pobga and Fellaini against Man city, Tottenham or Arsenal, and you will see how Carrick closes up space better. Added: Herrera is the one that will replace Carrick. 1 Like |

Kagawa10: I asked you 2 simple questions, you are talking about IF pogba had been a complete midfielder. Ok Now that pogba is NOT a complete midfielder who should consistently play beside him from the present squad we have that will help our course. Since the incomplete midfielder must play and Herrera is a workhorse and a red card waiting to happen. Let me help you Carrick, schweni, fellaini, Depay, young, schneiderlin, and Poole? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Kagawa10: 7:29pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
sinizia: The goals isn't solely on him. The truth is Spurs team always creates a lot for him except for the few tight matches. As long as the team creates, he's good to go as well as missing plenty of chances along with the goals he's scored. He's capable of providing the odd brilliance through some fantastic heading of the ball but that's all. However, he's quite limited. Average linkup, average vision, poor movement and very sluggish! And his technique isn't even all that great and his holdup play is quite inconsistent! |

forap:what they fail to get is that a team need players with lesser ego to put their bodies on the line for maybe other more talented players to shine. You look @ Fergie's team of recent past & see men like Vidic, JS Park, Keane, Tevez, Rooney, Fletcher, Fortune, etc who made a lot of sacrifices despite their own talents/desires. Real Madrid tried the All-Star All-Ego route after they let Makalele go, only to fall back to Thomas 'fucking' Graveson. What a player like Herrera brings is desire & passion, something that should spur others on the pitch to break a bone for the win, such can also be found in Valencia, Bailly, Jones, Lingard & Mata. Jose is doing his best to leverage that rare quality. I used to defend Herrera cuz I thought he does it with his soul but when I noted the majority voice here didn't see what his contribution is, I lock up make e no be like say Herrera na my cousin or something. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Kagawa10: 7:35pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
forap: How did we win the Fa cup? You people keep forgetting that apart from our young guns (Martial and Rashford), Fellaini was one of the major reason the Fa cup was won! And the fact that our winning run came to an end as soon as Fellaini got banned. BTW, let me take you down the memory lane.. 2 seasons ago (at the latter part of 2014/2015 season when Carrick returned from his injury woe), the team were on fire, scoring plenty of goals as a result but all came to an end as soon as Carrick got injured once again! |
