Young stays on as he can play fullback. I'm hopeful Rooney stays on because he definitely isn't playing/starting Saturday.
We know that Rooney must always play though.Didn't deserve to be taken off before Rooney. Everytime he cut in Rooney was just standing in his way instead of running in behind.
Mourinho might have liked what he has seen, and I'm not sure what Martial's injury status is, but if he can't play I think he wants to play Memphis instead. Memphis-Zlatan-Rashford as our front 3 then. Or wants him fresh to make a 60/70-min substitution.He was probably the best of our front four, why was he subbed? It's not like hell play against Leicester.
My point is that 'talent' is relative. You can look good in any league and at any age, but that doesn't mean you're going to make it. Depay showed enough that it worth gambling on his potential, but since buying him he hasn't shown anywhere near enough quality so we can't keep pointing back to his eredivisie days as a reason for keeping faith in him. At some point, that faith runs out.Don't really get your point.
Who gives us that? Genuine question. All our attacker bar Rashford play average, even Martial.Was alright, but Jose will be looking for much more than that.
Dunno, you would hope Martial, Micki and co will explode soon, they all posses greater talent. Depay, has his strengths - good off the ball movements etc, but we'll only see that if we build the side around him, and he isn't talented enough for thatWho gives us that? Genuine question. All our attacker bar Rashford play average, even Martial.
Exactly. Would have given him a lot of confidence.I think he would have buried the chance that Rooney scuffed.
You're in the wrong thread mate. Search 'Rooney' next time.I wasn't that impressed with him last night, think Jose will send him packing any chance he gets.
Rooney isn't the only player stinking up our squad.You're in the wrong thread mate. Search 'Rooney' next time.
Rooney has already matched Memphis' goals/assists output in the league last season in 30% of the minutes played this season.I think if he was given as many chances as Rooney this season who wouldn't do much worse. At the moment though, I'm not sure why Mourinho insisted on keeping him with the squad.
This is true. But Rooney is undroppable.Rooney isn't the only player stinking up our squad.
But we're all agreeing he was much better last game...All skills but no brain to go with it, seems more clueless with every game.
Rooney shouldn't be getting any of those chances.I think if he was given as many chances as Rooney this season who wouldn't do much worse. At the moment though, I'm not sure why Mourinho insisted on keeping him with the squad.
I think Jose simply isn't a fan.I think Memphis is unfairly judged on the cafe. I think Memphis will come good under Mourinho because of the different style of football we will adapt under Mourinho.
I was just going through some videos of Memphis before joining United. Here is a video of the goals he scored before joining United.
If you observe how he scored his goals you will see the type of player Memphis is, what his strong suits are:
1) He likes to make runs into the box and be the furthest man forward waiting for a cross to tap in.
2) He is always on the move making runs behind defenders and dribbles well when he has some acceleration.
3) He likes shooting from outside the box coming in from the wing.
3) Scores some brilliant free kicks.
Now Under Van Gal Memphis suffered because whenever he started to make runs he just wouldnt have anyone to play him in. He always had to comeback because our passing was sideways. You would have rooney , fellaini and mata all passing the ball behind and not playing a through ball. I remember in one of the interview Memphis had said that he needs to learn to dribble when he has the ball at his feet and he has not built up any acceleration. This is quiet a admission by Memphis as i think he knows this is where his game suffered the most and it does take time to adapt to the pace and physicality of the premier league.
I think with players like myktaryan , pogba and harrera settling into the team Memphis will benefit because of the vision these players bring into the game. Mourinho will clearly want a faster transition from defense to attack and would want midfielders to adapt this gameplan which would suit players like Memphis and rashford. All his strong suits would come into play when we play counter attacking football rather than a possession based football.
At the moment the man is a shadow of himself with low confidence and yes there is no question that he must improve his defensive work and commitment. However lets give the boy a chance before writing him off. If he could replicate his PSV form ( especially his free kicks ability ) he could be a great asset to the team.
You're all agreeing he did much better last game!!But we're all agreeing he was much better last game...
