It’s just the way his fans always go back to that cross to defend his attacking qualities that always trips me.

Ehn let's first agree that it was wonderful. Abi it wasn't?


Well it's not about defending AWB. His flaws are out there, we know that. So does every other player that his non fans refuses to criticize na

There's still more to come from AWB with the right guidance. I'm sure you insist this is his ceiling, I'm not seeing it. Maybe I'll see it later when the attackers are doing their jobs, but for now, I no see am

I hope it is not his ceiling cos he has shortcomings even defensively that he needs to work on.

When he has his man in front of him in 1 v 1 battle he is imperious but he does not have great positioning or awareness and he is not good in the air for his height.

In terms of his ability going forward, he doesn't need the attackers to help him control and move the ball better than atilogwu dancer. I watched his clips from Crystal Palace and predicted he would be a liability in attack. If he continues like this next season the fans will turn on him (and they might be back in the stadium to show it).
There is more to being a modern full back than making sliding tackles.

P.S And the cross was okay. Calling it "wonderful" is a bit hyperbolic.

eph12:

1. We shouldn't complain about crosses again since that's the coach style of play. We shouldn't berate AWB, Williams, Shaw for lack of cross

2. We haven't seen enough to make a real judgment yet. At least, not this season. In fact AWB assisted Martial at the bridge via a wonderful cross

3. A one time cross into the box before the defenders regroup can afford our attackers some space to do damage. And if it's low cross, we should have an attacker arriving at the near post in front of the defenders, not behind them

What I’m basically saying is, expecting them to play a high crossing game is like putting square pegs in round holes, because both the crossers and the finishers aren’t adept at doing that.

From what I saw last season, they focus more on low crosses. If the attackers don’t drive in at the near post, that’s on the coach, because it’s his job to teach them off-the-ball movement in that particular situation. Simple instructions (attack near-post).

If our fullbacks can whip in crosses like TAA & Robertson, that’s one part of the puzzle solved.

United’s fullbacks aren’t good at whipping it in.
United’s attackers aren’t good at heading it in either.

Only Pogba has shown any real quality in heading the ball.

Even Maguire (a CB) that should be putting it in regularly can’t do so

Expert17:


Yes, GK is among the top 3 issues we have right now.

-GK took more than 10 points from us in the league...

- FA cup Semi-final

Make I see your top 3 expert issues ,please.

I hope he works on it though.

Both our CBs are very tall and we still don’t prove a threat from set-pieces that require cross-and-nod.

It’s these little things that end up differentiating a great team from a good team.

Work on it how?

Abeg they should be practising team corner drills and dummies and stop wasting set pieces by crossing them into the box targeting that English big headed fraud

You may be probably right about AWB. However Herrera, Lukaku and co will be playing European finals soon. They are also judged to be heavily limited. At the end of the day, an excellent coach, a balanced team with a mix of some world class players, we should be fine

They definitely practice crosses, that’s why they strategically position themselves during corners.

Lindelof is usually the decoy attacker, while Maguire is the main threat.

Maguire stands closely behind Lindelöf so that opposition can’t stand in front of him when he jumps to nod the ball.

The only issue is that all the crosses are targeted at Maguire (they have to utilize that head size and the £80m )..

Targeting any other person (apart from Pogba) will most likely be very unfruitful.

My Hand no dey o..... LMFAO!

Ander the play CL final ... my man.

For Bleep sake why are we said to be interested in David Brooks from Bournemouth.

Hey

shebi them talk say them dey bench Herrera, say him no dey see shirt.

Naso we go curse all of our players spoil, na why them no dey buy them costly again. Because we don use mouth wash them.

Almost all our players wen go away do well this season.

We no go utilize the positives of these unique players but we go use mouth wash their value finish.

AHH. Na we dey kill ourselves for here. Baba dey flex o. He dey limited but unlimited Martial no fit score goal to carry him team go Europa final.

Just like the parable of the talents. The most important thing is what you did with your own talent.

Slab head slab head. Butter man Lindelof. Butter fingers De gea but we still get 13 clean sheet, no. 4 last season o.

Goal conceded 36 3rd o.

When people go dey talk e go be like say the players useless. Especially that defence area.

We no get midfielders o. We forgot how mactomminay balled at the start of the season. That boy dey give him best. Fred balled too. But Baba killed his fire. Now he's got it back.

We need extra legs but the way we wash our players is too much.

These boys are the ones that carried Ole to third. That's why he was not nominated for best coach.

Our problem is not always getting a wicked tactician.
Give better tactician this team and watch trophy flow.

Verrati has been struggling with injury over the last 2 weeks.
If he is fit before the final Herrera might return to the bench.

@bolded....true

Since it is just about getting to the final even if it is as carry along i wonder how many of you will want Young and Sanchez back. At least they are also going to play a final.
It’s not only Lukaku and Herrera nah.

It makes no sense to imply that just because one team got to a final all its players are quality or better than players in other teams.

Messi, Ronaldo, Salah, Mane, KDB are not playing any major finals. Lukaku and Perisic are not better than them.

We should get Young... Sanchez and Herrera back since they're both in the Finals

It'll bring about development to the team

Ole was stupid to have sold them.... I still don't know why Greenwood replaced Sanchez

Has Greenwood ever been to the Finals??

The Coach needs to go
