The players who covered most ground per match last season. No Manchester United player.

Mourinho has to learn not to pamper and over protect players.

Here you go mate.

PietroRico:
Where is the Paul Pogba we saw at Juventus? He was all over the pitch, he was battling, he was tackling, he was sprinting to people, he was scoring goals from 25 yards out.
"He is just strolling through games."

Scholes added:
. "Pogba doesn't look fit. I wonder whether he is training properly.
"He does not look like a player who will win you games and that is what you pay £90m for.
"No-one in England should be getting near him, but he is being asked to do a role he is not comfortable in.

Nihilist:
Sinizia ive spent the last few days in a state of near perpertual intoxication, so i didnt remember Scholes comments on Pogba very accurately.

Scholes: "I watched Pogba a lot a Juventus, he was a worker, he was a runner....but the real footballer was Pirlo

Yeezus.

The sass on that man.

He don extend the fake fans vs real fans debate reach Pogba side.

Pogba is not a real footballer - Paul Scholes

My good god.

PietroRico:

Abeg Mona ignore Nihilist

sinizia:


He meant the real CONTROLLER in that midfield was Pirlo. Does it mean Pogba is a fake footballer? He's not reading from an article so he will get some words wrongly said

patrickmuf:
Away from the system, you saw Pogba play like he did at Juventus, long range shots, purposeful take on, quick passes etc...You can say it's down to the system but the timing of the performance seems like an effect of Scholes criticism.

elampiro:


What is the 6 sec rule?

Nihilist:


That list is not correct.

Nihilist:


Didn't realise you"d taken up residence inside Paul Scholes head.

Whats the rent like in that side?

Nihilist:


I actually watched the punditry after the southampton game and scholes was saying that he watched a lot of pogba at juventus and that pogba was never a midfield controller... all he did was run around while pirlo pulled the strings

Essentially Pogba = Ramires with a fancy haircut.

Zing.

Scholesy too hotty.

elampiro:


What is the correct list?

Please don't produce total distance covered which favours players who play more games.

Distance covered per game is what is needed.

sinizia:

So one can't make mistake again? He's saying words from the spot and is bound to get some things wrongly said jor.

You're trolling. Na your way.

Oya, coman anbee goin to that dinghy mud house of a Shekpe thread.

It's no more Gerrard >>>> Scholesy, its now Scholesy too hot abi? Don't worry you will be alright

sinizia:


Actually, even last season, United covered the least ground among the top 5. In short don't be surprised if for the last 4 seasons, we've covered the least grounds amongst the top 5. That's been the theme of our play for years now. We play lazy football. We start brightly, score and start loitering about, soaking up pressure. It's what we've complained about that Jose has to add more urgency and speed to our game play. We have to have to attack more, close down opponents faster so we can snuff any threat they will unleash. That's one thing Tottenham, Chelshit, City and Co have over us.

Guardiola has implemented the "6 secs rule" and it's working like Magic for City. Mourinho needs to make this guys press harder as a way of defending.

sinizia:


We just need Assnal to do the Lord's work and keep Nihilist humble, and also get him off the shayos that's spurring him on.

Nihilist:


Well i saw Kante on the list...and i didnt see Herrera there so the list must be wrong.



Damn im on fire this morning...

patrickmuf:
God bless you, our pressing game is wack that's why we hardly recover the ball in dangerous positions thus we had to travel a distance to get to the opponents goal before which they have already reorganized...
We have players who are fast and young, they should be made to press more. Yesterday, after we scored, we dropped the tempo and almost conceded an equalizer, it's only when we scored the second goal that we managed to take hold of the game.

Nihilist:


Verily verily i sayeth unto thee.

Not a singe shekel of fück shall be volunteered by myself on this holy day.

Happy new year.

Nihilist:
Until next time , boys and girls...

Lord Lingard- 7 Goals
4 assists.

Eden Hazard-5 Goals
2 assists.

sinizia:


It's rule implemented by Pep at Barcelona where he tasked his players "to recover a misplaced pass or lost ball from their opponents under 6 secs". What we saw was a high octane pressing from the entire team once they lost a ball, rushing opponents like a pack of wolves, and inevitably forcing them to kick away the ball (or give away the ball in dangerous positions like Fabregas against Barcelona which Arsenal were punished for) under immense pressure which his players will then collect and recycle, and start dominating you all over again.

If Messi loses the ball, he chases the player with the ball, while Eto, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquet and Co closes down "the free players of the opponents" which the opponent with ball will pass to. He's now forced to kick the ball away or give it to his goalie to kick it away. Once the goalie does that, Pique, Busquet and other defenders win it back fast and continues dominating again. It's why Pep hardly lose possession, it's how he defends, and it's no surprise that City are playing with that same style
