Trying not to be negative but I fecking hate the starting line up and shape. Hope I'm massively wrong
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
James offers nothing, really.Without Rashford, I really wanted James fit for this game. Whilst his overall game isn't as good as Martial's and Greenwood's, his sheer pace and tenacity unsettles back lines.
Shame it was wrong thenI like the look of the leaked team.
McTominay as a wingback, are you ok?Hmm I know we need Williams for the 5 at the back but I'd much rather Mctominay playing, even in the wing back role.
Shaw left CH, Williams LB?3-5-2 then.
Looks quite a negative line upTrying not to be negative but I fecking hate the starting line up and shape. Hope I'm massively wrong
Easiest 14/11 in a while.Knowing Ole it will be:
DDG
Lindelof - Maguire - Shaw
AWB - Fred - Matic - Williams
Bruno
James - Martial
Because Ole is a bad liar. Maguire was never injured/ill, that was just an excuse in case we had lost without him at Derby. I don't think AWB/James were injured either.
No he wasn't constantly threatening on the flank. They ran through the left with van Aanholt and Zaha. He has of course some output, like any fullback in the modern game. He can put in the odd cross and showed that against Chelsea.No they didn't AWB was constantly threatening on the flank for them. Even for us he's capable of some brilliant deliveries and no one is in the box for them, or some players (Martial) fail to make the right run (with the exception of that beautiful header vs Chelsea).
I put what I feel he offers in my original post. Hopefully that is the case today.James offers nothing, really.
The changes to the squad/starting squad have slowly but surely been done, plus decent additions and a couple of youth players introduced.Lingard and Pereira not on the bench.
Progress is being made.
And Pogba and Rashford are not even in the squad.Lingard and Pereira not on the bench.
Progress is being made.
My problem with James his best asset is pace yet he seems to never use it which is infuriating. Honestly cant remember the last time he took a defender on or ran into space for a pass he's been massively out of form for months.I put what I feel he offers in my original post. Hopefully that is the case today.
Martial and Greenwood are too similar. James, whilst he's nowhere near as Rashford, is the closest we have to that style of player, which I feel is crucial when we play with split strikers.
Yeah pretty much always expect him to barrel in a head from every corner they get against us.I hate the sight of Otamendi. Our defense can never handle him on set-pieces.
