Nezzjnr:the only thing that will stop him is his lack of status in the club at the moment. He is the one being shunted around for Martial and Rashford to play in their favoured positions The moment this changes, the number of goals this kid will score will stupefy everyone.. . In addition to understandably not having a strong enough standing in the squad yet, he is also the most adaptable of our 3 front.. 1 Like |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 1:37pm On Sep 17, 2020 |
Sniper4real: 2 major shifts in football philosophy have led to the preference for inverted wingers. 1) The most significant change was the switch from 4-4-2 to 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3. With 4-4-2 there were 2 strikers in the box which meant the chances that a cross from a traditional winger would find a striker was still high. However with teams now using 1 striker the chances of cross and nod working has drastically reduced. Now rather than just crossing for 2 strikers who are meant to supply almost all the goals the winger has to be able to cut in and contribute his own share of goals. 2) The evolution of the full back from a purely defensive player to an attacking outlet providing width. In order to have that space up front to run into it is better that he plays with an inverted winger who drags the full back inside thereby creating the space. Both of these changes happened around the same time i.e late 90s and early 2000s which is why the last truly great traditional wingers Figo, Giggs e.t.c overlapped with the first truly great attacking full backs Roberto Carlos, Cafu AND inverted wingers like Pires, Ginola, Ronaldinho, Robben, Ribery became more and more prominent. 12 Likes 1 Share |

handelex: It is the hope that kills you. It is you guys that are still expecting anything from the board that are stressing yourselves. We already said that they spend only if their financial bottom line is at risk, and that is mainly about Champions League football. Maybe now that Spurs has started spending and improving they might feel threatened enough to buy some players. It is the fans that are after titles. The board is happy with Top 4 and Champions League football. The sooner people accept that the better for their peace of mind. It is what it is. 11 Likes |

afrodoc2:Which kind wahala be this? 600yrs for Glazers and Woodward, and from the look of things, we are no closer to leaving this banter era and I was hyped up for this summer seeing it as a strategic one and for the new season.. Now I don't feel the excitement again, it's all gone. No miracles this time around, heaven helps those that help themselves, I hope I'm wrong. |
