The fact that perisic and gnabry improved most times is on the coach or training staff. For example, we all know that there's a vast difference between Sterling of Liverpool and Sterling of Man city. He(Sterling) even acknowledged it was Arteta who improved his goalscoring instincts and spatial awareness. That Perisic goal might even be what was taught on training about off-the ball movement.
You can bring all the managers you want to come and train a team or a player on how to play a specific way.
It will still be up to that player to make changes to his play style and improve his game.

Against Southampton, Ole was visibly angry with Bruno for his misplaced passes and was shouting instructions from the touchline. But on these streets, u will hear "all OGS does is sit down on his chair with a relaxed mind".

A manager can only do so much. At the end of the day, it's still up to the players.

Though I fully agree with the Davies skillfully beating semedo. That's naturally borne skills Most of your fullbacks don't have.
No manager can coach skill or technical abilities.
If u don't got it, then you don't got it.

I made that post 1 week after the restart. Maybe i just was paying more attention, and maybe it only became obvious to you after he reduced his movement further due to ill-effects of trying to run on a back that is not fully recovered..
I saw him and Greenwood swap positions a couple of times in our match against Bournemouth.

Anyways, this isn't only about Rashford. When we started AWB (did after a couple of games and switched off) and Williams won't take risk and get down to the byline. We get into the attacking third and we become confused on what to do with the ball. A player holds the ball and instead of others creating space and making runs, they stand still. Sometimes they bump into each other because they don't know where the ball is going to end up next. OGS the manager will be enjoying tye comfort of his sit, other managers are quick to react if something is not going to plan.

We're going to play Sevilla next. I won't be surprised if we make Sevilla turn Bayern because we're very clueless with the ball when we get to final third

Ole said it last week though, crossing is not part of our game, we try to keep the ball low while trying to get it quickly into the opposition box.
Our players aren't good in the air anyway. Explains the paltry goals we've scored from set pieces in the last 5 years.

I was not debating Ole's ability or inability to coach. Was just talking about Rashford's specific situation. Or was it not Ole that was coaching him before he got injured?


Rashford: explosive and making all sort of runs before injury. Rashford: immobile and trying long range passes rather than taking players on after injury.
Same coach, same team but somehow it is not the injury but the coach. We should try to be fair in our assessments.

Everybody just dey yarn Davies dribbling ability, that guy was a winger turned left back, like what ole did chongy in that our game.

I bet my left balls for person like mahrez catch that Davies, im yansh go open, Bayern aren't strong defensively though.

Rashford was not here when Bruno came in and we started getting good results. We were winning. Why must the coach play him when he's not fit? And how long before this injury excuse expires?

I'm kinda indifferent about him. If he's that expensive, we should look away. Honestly I'm tired of buying expensive players only for us to complain and complain. How much did those bayern players cost? E no just make sense because we will still troll these players and complain about them

When we resumed the league, he was swapping positions with Martial and Greenwood. He was playing closer to the box 18 with better movements. Is there are another after we resumed I'm not aware of?
he is still swapping positions though rarely. Maybe he was told not exert himself alot

dis should really be looked into.. even city wey get midgets full everywhere the cross ball...

Martial is actually a good header of the ball. To me I’ll say our full backs are sh!t at crossing.

Some of you guys are delusional. This Bayern team would wipe the stadium with us. Its almost as if you guys haven't watched us this season. It might not be 8-2 because I don't think we're washed up but Bayern are a full level above us. Make no mistake. We're simply not in that class.

Depends on Pep. Pep’s tinkering in big games is one of the reasons for his team’s problems in the UCL.

There are 2 keys to beating this Bayern side.

1) Don’t play out from the back

2) Field pacy attacking players that can take advantage of that high line.

Their defenders could squeeze up to the halfway line because Barça had no pace up front.

Quique Setien would have been better served playing Ansu Fati and Dembele on either side of Messi. Their pace alone would have moved that back line back by 10 yards at least.

Hard to say. But remember football is not mathematics. A lot depends on how City lineup. Both teams are definitely vulnerable defensively but I think Bayern might have more in the midfield and attack. Both team scan go toe to toe because that is all they know. My guess would be which set of defenders makes the least amount of mistakes wins.

I just realised we're making a huge assumption that City will definitely beat Lyon.

I value bayern to be in the final city defence is a disaster i wonder why madrid don’t frustrate their defense enough. City will concede in the air to bayern i can bet that. Their loss away to Norwich was due to their defensive error , imagine playing fernandinho against lewadowski and am very sure bayern will close them down as the style ole used to defeat city thrice this season.

We've only played against 2 top teams since we resumed.

And please let's not make this about Rashford. The whole is clueless 90% of the time when we get to the final third
