Bailly is hilarious, as is Zlatan

Zlatan and Bailey back training. Brilliant!
To be fair, it's a bit too easy to be funny as a football pro in a big club. There's just so much potential for trolling since you are expected to behave by the rules.Bailly is hilarious, as is Zlatan
It'd be funny to the people who know them, so does it matter?To be fair, it's a bit too easy to be funny as a football pro in a big club. There's just so much potential for trolling since you are expected to behave by the rules.
Can you imagine a regular Joe posting a simillar pic with 2 friends on instagram saying "feeling good today, too bad I'm surrounded by these two guys". Yep not funny at all.
I know what you mean but in a world where Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Ryan Giggs, and a host of lesser players with a personality of a brick are your contemporaries, any semblance of personality or humour is seized upon. This is why the likes of Ian Wright gets a post playing career despite being a bit shitTo be fair, it's a bit too easy to be funny as a football pro in a big club.

I mean... Yes I guess so. But, it wouldn't be as funny as Bailly doing it or Phil Jones or Matic, just to name a few.It'd be funny to the people who know them, so does it matter?
Absolutely, but I find Owen's and Giggsy personality to be funny precisely because of that.I know what you mean but in a world where Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Ryan Giggs, and a host of lesser players with a personality of a brick are your contemporaries, any semblance of personality or humour is seized upon.

Anyone noticed his little finger? WTF is going on there?

.. it's normal, it's just the angle and lighting make it look like an L shape.Anyone noticed his little finger? WTF is going on there?
That's not fecking normal at all.. it's normal, it's just the angle and lighting make it look like an L shape.
Ian Wright was not shit.This is why the likes of Ian Wright gets a post playing career despite being a bit shit
I don't mean playing ability, I mean his punditry. He's not that great at it technically by he's a character and has personality which goes far.Ian Wright was not shit.
I am 43 years of age and I watched him throughout his Arsenal career.
The guy could score goals off of very few chances.
Post it mateFellaini posted a clip of Ibrahimovic doing agility and finishing drills on his Instagram story a short while ago.
His return is almost upon us.
I'm not sure you can post Instagram stories here. Check out Fellaini's Instagram profile, it's on there.Post it mate
I doubt it. With the way we set up we need a ball carrier to be the catalyst for our transitions. With Zlatan in a number ten position Lukaku will become even more isolated than he's already looked. That's also why we won't see Mata there either. If they were to play together it'd be as a pairing with Zlatan, as you say, dropping deep to hold the up ball and Lukaku making runs.Should be used as a #10 instead of the two passengers we have there now. Zlatan always loved to drop deep anyway, and unlike Mkhi and Mata it takes more than a little shoulder barge to take the ball off him.
Pogba can be the ball carrier, though.I doubt it. With the way we set up we need a ball carrier to be the catalyst for our transitions.

Saw him training on his own at Carrington todayFellaini posted a clip of Ibrahimovic doing agility and finishing drills on his Instagram story a short while ago.

Not while playing as deep as he is.Pogba can be the ball carrier, though.
What the feck is that? Missed a sitter. 0/10 match rating and should be dropped. I don't care if there was 3 dummies on the line, unacceptable.Tweet

Can see Pogba charging forward while Zlatan dropping deep and vice verse.Not while playing as deep as he is.
The problem is that with Pogba playing as deep as he is there's no way that he can move up the field quickly enough to create the numerical advantages that we aim to do when we counter-attack. It would give the opposition ample time to transition back into defence.Can see Pogba charging forward while Zlatan dropping deep and vice verse.
Also I think If we play Zlatan as number 10, we'll still play Mikhi as a right forward anyway.
Pogba is playing deep but not "that" deep to prevent him carrying the ball forward quickly imo. Our shape on the field can change to 4-1-4-1 when attacking with both Pogba and Zlatan behind the striker and Matic staying back to shut off the counters.The problem is that with Pogba playing as deep as he is there's no way that he can move up the field quickly enough to create the numerical advantages that we aim to do when we counter-attack.

better than every option we have at the moment, at least he isn't someone who anyone can bully off the ball easily like our other 10 , and also a better passer, he could be our sheringham or dwight yorke back then, helping our 9I`m thinking he will be our number 10 when he gets back. Not ideal but what else can be done? Our creativity is gone.
Zlatan is easily dispossessed, too, and would leave us incredibly exposed as he doesn't do anything defensively. He'd be better than Mkhi, but I don't think he'd be that good.Should be used as a #10 instead of the two passengers we have there now.

I don't think it's easy to dispossess Ibra, but we shall wait and see.Zlatan is easily dispossessed, too, and would leave us incredibly exposed as he doesn't do anything defensively. He'd be better than Mkhi, but I don't think he'd be that good.
Still, it'll be nice to see him back.
He’s back!What the feck is that? Missed a sitter. 0/10 match rating and should be dropped. I don't care if there was 3 dummies on the line, unacceptable.
28 goals and missed a large part of the end of the season. I'll take missing sitters all seasonHe’s back!
He would have broken Rooney's highest goal Talley in a season of 34 goals if he was fit all season.28 goals and missed a large part of the end of the season. I'll take missing sitters all season
Definitely would have.He would have broken Rooney's highest goal Talley in a season of 34 goals if he was fit all season.
Well i am sure zlatan insisted on playing every game.Definitely would have.
I think Jose overplayed him too. Should have rested him a few more times.
