sinizia: Salah is the only one that could make a difference for Liverpool and immediately he’s out, that’s the end for them, even without Karius mistake they ain’t winning Madrid bro. Liverpool already over achieve by getting to the final, with Salah out, that’s the end for them. |

sinizia:Just like matic and kante for Chelsea, we all know kante will make an excellent DM but doing that will hinder him and also the club from showing his world-class qualities as a box 2 box cm, so why do that when you already have a world-class DM in matic? |

dubylhover: Modric is not easily replaceable at Madrid, I beg to differ. Kovacic and Isco are suitable as AM at best, especially Isco. If you leave the CM midfield work for Isco, he'll disappear. Isco cannot drop deep to collect the ball like Modric and push attacks, or boss the midfield like Modric does. Modric and Kroos control the pace of that midfield. They dictate the tempo of the game. But why I value Modric over Kroos is that Modric can play as a sitting CM like Kroos and can also be a box-to-box CM. Kroos is just one to sit back and control the game. He can't be a box-to-box currently like Modric, maybe back at Bayern but not on current form. |

dubylhover: Champions league final is the biggest cup competition in the world, now answer me this please, WHAT DID KROSS CONTROL TODAY?? He was so jittery with the ball, always passing sideways, also looking for the safest option than doing anything meaningful with the ball. He’s playing against a midfield of Henderson, Milner and Wiljandum. Forget the yarn bro, while Kross is a good player, without Modric he’s nada. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 11:22pm On May 26, 2018 |
Raumdeuter, let’s hear your opinion on Kross. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 11:23pm On May 26, 2018 |
larride: Modric is on the right side, while Kroos is on the left side of a 3-man midfield with Casmeiro as thr DM. But between the 3, Modric pushes forward the most. |

larride:he doesn't like kross, ibime on the other hand is the master of midfield play. |

larride: You can't use one match to judge, he's performed better on a bigger stage than ucl,according to opta stats,he was d most effective player for Germany at d World Cup, so a player who was that important for his country can't b nada...you said without modric he's nada,is modric in the German national team? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 11:29pm On May 26, 2018 |
raumdeuter: Immediately Salah left, I rejoiced greatly coz I knew it's over. Liverpool have no bench at all. Their first team are not better than Madrid except in attack. The fact that a non-fully fit Lallana who's just returning from injury is the only other option for Salah, tells you Madrid is the better side. There's nothing else Klopp would have done except park the bus, which woukd have been a foolish move as Madrid have the right tools to unlock them. If Salah was on that pitch and they had a reliable keeper, Liverpool would have stood a better chance of winning. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 11:29pm On May 26, 2018 |
sinizia: That’s what I wanted the guy to point out, Kross plays mostly from the left side but if you can see the number of his passes, I’m sure you will mostly see sideways passing. Kross is a quality midfielder no doubt but he passes the ball way too sideways for someone of his quality and he can be jittery on the ball sometimes also. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 11:31pm On May 26, 2018 |
larride: I agree that without Salah Liverpool ain't wining, but with a reliable keeper, Madrid wouldn't have scored those comical goals. They had it too easy even though they didn't play well at all. |

dubylhover: I don’t watch Kross with Germany as I’m not interested in their matches but I do watch Madrid match closely and from what I have seen, Modric makes that midfield tick and gel. If you can’t control a midfield that has Henderson, Milner and Wjulandun, your name shouldn’t be used in the same sentence with midfield controller. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 11:38pm On May 26, 2018 |
weedtaker: But in Chelsea's scenario, when they won the EPL during Conte's first season, they played with a 2-man midfield, 2 wing-back and 3 CBs. Am I right? Which means Kante is box-to-box while Matic sits deep to provide extra protection to the 3-man defence. In Madrid's case, they play 2 CM and a DM in a 433 formation mostly. So both teams are not like for like. Plus Kante is a box-to-box DM not a box-to-box CM like Modric. He's more defensive than Modric but doesn't have more vision or midfield control than Modric. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 11:39pm On May 26, 2018 |
sinizia: Madrid won’t have scored those comical goals I agree but I still believe Madrid will win, Liverpool is nothing without Salah. I was impressed with Mane though, fantastic attitude from him trying to shoulder the responsibility. Firmino disappeared like the fart of a leporous witch. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 11:41pm On May 26, 2018 |
weedtaker: Modric passes and runs as well, even at his old age. Running is not just his attribute. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dubylhover(m): 11:41pm On May 26, 2018 |
larride: Anyways Ive watched kroos very well both country side and clubside because on d country level I support Germany, so I know a gem when I see it.. You know what Johan cryuff said about kroos when he joined Madrid..... But that's the beauty of football, it's because he's not all that skillful and stuff that you'd think he's average.. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 11:45pm On May 26, 2018 |
larride: Modric over kross for me. Modric don't just make sideways passes only, he makes forward passes, starts attacks, helps defend, as well as drop deep to pick the ball and join attack. He covers more places in the pitch than Kroos. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 11:48pm On May 26, 2018 |
sinizia: Gbam. Case closed |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 11:48pm On May 26, 2018 |
larride: Lol. Firmino is not like your typical striker. He needs intelligent sidekicks to excel. He can't bully defenders like Ukaku or Drogba. Once Salah was taken out, it's game over for him. Mane on the other hand tried and impressed coz he's multipurpose. He can play on both wings and used it to great advantage. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dubylhover(m): 11:50pm On May 26, 2018 |
larride:Lol if midfield play is about covering space, then it means we didn't learn anything tonight, we all know how lpool midfielders run around but no brains.. Anyways sha,we all watch this beautiful game differently, that's d fun of it |
