MRTA7:


I dont believe adding Sancho alone is enough to challenge for the premier league title.

You are most likely right but you have to remember we would really be adding 3 players: Sancho, Bruno, Greenwood.

Bruno came when we were already way down in the standings. Check our how many points and goals we have since he came here.

Greenwood really has been a bit part player until recently.

If you think Greenwood is good now i don’t know what you will think next season when he starts dribbling past 2-3 people and creating loads of assists as well as finishing at a high clip.

Sancho would be another assist king. The boy is maybe just below Greenwood in talent.

By the end of next season it might be a battle between the natural talent of Martial and the hard work of Rashford for who gets the 3rd starting spot.

Yeah. With this we will definitely be challenging for the title.
That Bruno deputy part is key.

Also Fred, McTom, AWB, Shaw must continue to improve.
No regressions.

We need AWB and Shaw to provide atleast 5 assists each in EPL next season......

Would there be pre-season?

Lol he is not resting anybody. Start hard and fast, finish the game by 60mins and make wholesale changes.

That should be our system until the season ends.

This is the most sensible thing to do. I see guys saying we shouldn't change anything, but I'll rather we rest players than have someone like Pogba pull his hamstring then be out for two weeks. Out of the top 5 teams, I think we're the one who has rotated the least so far. Our players are not robots, and history should serve us right - towards the end of last season, we were flying high until injury kicked in and everything went to shiit. If not because deputy players like Mata, Perreira, Lingard are irredemably useless, we really should be resting some of the guys in the midfield and up front at least for an entire half. Since we can't do this, our best bet is to finish games off early, reduce the tempo and make wholesale changes early enough. This race would go down the wire, and if we would be needing point(s) in our final game against Leicester, I would want a fit 11, not a team assembled with the Perreiras and Matas because Rashford and Pogba are injured

Martial is the kind of guy who would fvck his partner up so bad with his attitude, you won't know whether to love or to hate him. He showed mad grit and hunger in this last game- dropped deep, ran his socks off, pressed and did his bit quite okay. If this nigg can just keep this energy up for 75% of a season, he guarantees 20 PL goals + assists.
Rashford, I like his simply for his grit and the fact that he's relentless - but there's how far these can take him, he needs to start making better decisions- he should take lessons from Greenwood Lol (I just remembered Rashford once called Greenwood a 'lad' in an interview, in my mind I be like, see this guy de address senior player as lad oo).

I don't understand why some Folks are calling for the Players' rest. Why do they need rest, if I may ask? Fatigue? Did we forget these Players have rested long enough? Thanks to Covid-19.

I don't see a Reason for altering, tinkering the Lineup for now. To build a Team, solid Team, you've got to playing them together at every given Opportunity.

Check Barcelona, Madrid Lineups, they barely change their respective Lineups, bar Injuries - same thing applicable to Bayern.

Fitness is all matter, if they're fit to play, so be it.

Even Liverpool sef, abeg let him continue with this 11 players. If their is need for minor rotation, it would be Williams for Shaw or Baily for Lindelof....

Ravioli:


Nawa oo.. They're all screaming rotate nii.. Why??

This is the first time in ages we've got almost a perfect squad. If the board can go out there and get us Sancho and then a pacy CB to partner HM. Then forget it, we are covered. I'll still give Shaw some time. If he can't make it.. Then BW will bench him outright without bat of eyelid. We need deputies for Bruno.. Pogba can be deputized by Fred.. But none for Bruno.

Plus a good backup player for Bruno. Sancho, a pacy CB (Ake won't be a bad one) plus a strong pacy Attacker (Josh King anyone?) and we are good to go for next season. Fred can play Pogba's role when he isn't available, so we are well covered in that department.. GGMU

Oasis007:




The more I'm looking at the Log, the more I'm getting excited. This present Lineup can score Goals at anywhere. If you like park Tankers, Greenwood would help to light it up.

The beauty of it is that we no longer rely only on the forwards to score goals, Bruno will always chip in and Pogba too. May the good times continue

adebayo201:
This coming week is quite a busy week for the team... Monday, Thursday then Saturday.

In my own opinion, players need rest but it should be a kind of rest that will be systematic. Play 70 mins then rest for the next game.

The back four won't be change except for a card or injury (God forbid). I know William can come in for either Shaw/AWB and Dalot can come in for AWB but he hasn't got any game except the FA which he's substituted after some minutes.

Bailey too can come in for Lindelof. The last match really shows the compact in the team. They're gelling little by little especially the 'second midfielders'.

Nobody needs any rest. Ole is starting the same first eleven till we secure top 4. He is managing it well, that was why he substitute the key players after about 60-70 minutes. 60-70 minutes every 3 days for a proffesional footballer is not too much.
Also notice that as the game progresses and we have virtually put the game to bed, we usually slows the pace of the game to conserve energy. Let him continue this way it's just 5 games or possibly 6 with FA cup finals. Then after that we have LASK but with a 5 goal lead, rest everybody, then that quarter final we can rest more players. Then start the semis with the best eleven as well as the final.
To make top 4 this season is a must, so the team must sacrifice immensely to ensure that. Any more slip ups might prove costly. I trust ole he will continue with the same eleven

Oasis007:
The Squad is ONLY short of one Player..... And his Name is SANCHO. For the Defense, I'm gonna give Mengi big Chance to proving himself. Tuanzebe also is a solid Defender. I pray he shakes off Injuries, before it wrecks his Career.

And if Bruno get injured (God forbid), who do we turn to? Perriera?

adebayo201:

My love for Bailly is so strong BUT I can't rely on him again due to injuries and doing simple things the hard way.

Dont mind them, some people de do like say dem no know wetin dey at stake. Even Martial and bruno were not happy with being substituted last match. It tells you that they still have the energy to play. Moreover a keen observer will notice that Rashford is beggining to get his mojo back, why rest him?

afrodoc:


That’s another angle. I hear they press really hard and adopt a Klopp-like Gegenpressing style.

Make Ole sha ensure the 3 points na the koko.

Meaning they will leave space behind their full backs, we should pick them off with counter. A 2 goal lead at half time will calm them down

I do not trust our Scouts to dig out real Talents to improve the Squad. Neither do I trust Ed to do the needful at the right time.

All in all, get us Sancho and hope on the Academy to churn out real Talents like Greenwood, Williams and McTom.

You guys have started with your 'learn from' and 'take lessons from' abi? I wonder what will happen to all of us when Greenwood goals dry up for some time, and trust me it will happen. Happens to the best of best even if it's for a couple of weeks or a month. Maybe that time we will be asking Greenwood to learn from Rashford
