Elnino4ladies:I am just wondering how Hazard stats will look like.. 2 goals and 2 assists against the Haitis of this world, no chance or assist created in the knockout matches and 250 shakushakus ![]() 8 Likes |

afrodoc2: If Mourinho would allow them to play. Tbh, I'm not on board with Perreira. I don't see all the fuss about him except for his long range shots and setpieces/crosses. Apart from the aforementioned, players like O'connor (Rb), Buffonge (a playmaking no 8, could be Pogba's understudy), Poole (CB/DM), Tosin Kehinde (a playmaking no 6, could be Matic's understudy), Mitchell (Lb), Willock (box-box CM, could be Fred's understudy) should all be looked at as well. O'connor may be deemed too young though. Also, there's one left footed kid that plays exactly like giggs on the left wing but I can't remember his name right now (not Chong). I would love to see a true traditional winger in the team. And there's Gribbin, a no 10 who's sluggish and lazy although quite talented and visionary however, no 10 are already dying breeds in today's era, especially a sluggish lazy one at that. |

Hazardfan1: I disagree with this. Lingard had a very good outing. Young too played his part in getting d England team to the semis. Apart from when Martinez had a brainfart and started him, Felaini did well to score some important goals for them. Lukaku probably should have scored more but he was very important in the Belgian set up making assists and 9f course, knowing when to leave the ball for a teammate to score the winning goal. Lindelof too in the heart of the Sweden defence. |

Elnino4ladies: So na Lukaku and Fellaini no kan get great outing? Abi no be the same bus stop dem drop? Pogba no dey the same team with Kante? As much as I hate that England team, I can't help but acknowledge Lingard and Young's contributions The thing is, it is crazy to say Man Utd players didn't turn up when in fact, Chelsea had more players that didn't turn up compared to Man Utd. |

diadem10: I have not really seen O'Connor so can't comment on him. Buffonge should get a chance especially as he is turning 20 soon, he has pace, good technique and is strong compared to Gribbin who like you said is really best suited to the 10 role because of his vision and also due to his laziness and poor work ethic. Tosin Kehinde is also a no 8 like Buffonge and not a no 6. Ethan Hamilton is probably the best no 6 in the youth ranks (though not eye catching) and i think he is more of a midfielder than McTominay whose developement was altered by positional changes and his growth spurt. You are right about Willock, he is the best box-to-box we have in the team but i don't think he has enough technical ability. Gribbin is uber talented but weak, lazy, slow and has a bad attitude. The only talented left footed attacker i remember in the youth set up is Mason Greenwood but he plays more as a striker for now, the other quick winger is Zach Dearnley but he is right footed. Though Gomes gets most of the hype i trust Chong more cos he is bigger, has more speed IMO, and very crucially is not English born. 3 Likes |

afrodoc2: Tosin Kehinde can definitely play a no 8 role and as a wide left midfieder but he's at his best as a 6. I would say United u23 looked good with him, Buffonge and Barlow in midfield at the earlier stage but the stupid coach, Sbragia decided to change the whole team because the team kept on conceeding. He should have looked to amend the defence instead and I think the last straw was the match against Westham where our first team player, Luke Shaw had an awful game and looked abject all through. The team looked good going forward but abject in defence just like their other previous matches and I think the match ended in a 4-2 loss with Shaw culpable for the 4 goals conceeded. Since then, the foolish coach banned Kehinde, Buffonge, Boonen (that's the left footed player I was talking about) and others from the first team eventhough these 3 were the best players in the team. He brought in Chong, Hamilton, Redmond, Gomes and some others instead. Out of all these new players brought in, only Chong has been impressive while Gomes has shown glimpses of his talent here and there but the whole team were horrible without any control nor creativity unlike the start of the season. I think the team almost relegated or so. And I don't rate Hamilton. Decent player with the occasional goals but that's all. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 2:47pm On Jul 15, 2018 |
diadem10: I know Boonen but i don't think he has the pace or trickery needed. If he wasn't pacy but had Hazard/Iniesta technique it would be manageable but i think he is just average, he is definitely not Giggs. Hamilton may or may not be average but he is the only one in that midfield that circulates the ball the way a DM/CM should, almost all the others are runners or dribblers. He understands the position and his duties better than the others. Poole might have been a great option but he is another whose education has been marred by countless matches playing as an undersized CB and as a slow FB. The team was conceding cos all the good defenders were on loan or training with the first team, RoShaun Williams and Warren don't look like they will be good enough. |

afrodoc2:Boonen not pacy or trickery? I'm not talking of Bohui or Bukart. The latter names almost confused me. Boonen is quite quick and trickery with wonderful left wand for pinging in lovely ball into the box. Anyway, he's already left the club. He turned down a new deal for more playing time at a new club. Kehinde is also considering a move to Barca B. Maybe Buffonge would join next although English players hardly move abroad but he may join another English club. That stupid Sbragia really fvcked up. Yea, I'm quite aware of some defenders leaving for loan but the point is the whole team became rubbish as soon as those 3 players got benched. IIRC, only Poole, and Mctominay left the u23 team 'cos Tfm, Tauzenbe were with the first team 2 seasons ago. Not also forgetting Harrop who was their best creative player and the one who gave them lot of control in midfield. Kehinde and Buffonge were able to replace Harrop effectively at the earlier stages and the team got some good points regardless of their awful defence but the foolish coach would rather discard the whole team only to replace them with garbbage players and in the end got relegated. Ffs, only the defence needed sorting out. I wouldn't have minded Chong on the right though. Like I stated earlier, I don't rate Hamilton, he's not even as good as Mctominay whom I don't rate either. The ones I can see right now are Chong, Buffonge, Kehinde, Gomes, Poole, Riley, Mitchel and O'connor. |
