What is the point of having players like Garner in the squad if they can’t even get in to the team during an injury crisis?How strange is that?
So much for believing in youth.

Tony Cascarino on Talksport couldn't understand where we were playing him. Hopefully with Matic back he will get moved further forward. Hopefully.Ya this is what I was saying when people said he could play as a #8. It makes zero sense to play a player with this much goal threat that far away from goal. I just cant even fathom the reasoning by Ole. If you pay 60M for someone then play them in there correct position. IMO when he was playing further up the field he showed glimpses of what he can do despite only having joined 48 hours prior. Showed his shooting and set piece ability.
According to Carlos Carvalhal, quoted by the BBC, he is a number 8. He also said that Bruno is definitely not a number 10.Ya this is what I was saying when people said he could play as a #8. It makes zero sense to play a player with this much goal threat that far away from goal.
It was because Pereira was a fecking liability deeper, so had to swap them over.Ya this is what I was saying when people said he could play as a #8.

for gods sake he was playing alongside Pereira who was giving the ball away every time he touched so he had to pull Fernandes back a bit as damage limitationYa this is what I was saying when people said he could play as a #8.

I totally agree and I don't understand how others have their head in the sand and just blame Ole.I'm pretty confident Ole does not want to start Mata and Pereira but injuries dictate. We would have probably lost if we kept bruno higher up the pitch. Magic Fred and Bruno will be decent enough on current form if our forwards remember how to play football. Martial was shocking again last night. Greenwood is a better no 9 and that's pretty embarrassing at this stage.
Pogba with Fred at 6 and Bruno at 10.I totally agree and I don't understand how others have their head in the sand and just blame Ole.
More interesting, though, is how do we line up with Pogba, Fernandes and Fred? Who is the number 10? I would like a fluid two with Pogba and Bruno switching positions where if one is up the other hangs back a little.
His time at Sporting says otherwise completely. If he is a number 8 then he is the greatest goal scoring 8 I have ever seen.According to Carlos Carvalhal, quoted by the BBC, he is a number 8. He also said that Bruno is definitely not a number 10.
Ole has played plenty of youth. Maybe Garner just isn't ready yet.What is the point of having players like Garner in the squad if they can’t even get in to the team during an injury crisis?

No he hasn't. Only Greenwood and Williams who got to play regularly. Gomes and Garner barely got any chance.Ole has played plenty of youth. Maybe Garner just isn't ready yet.
Maybe because they're not ready? He's given Chong games and he's looked utterly hopeless, and stopped. Maybe they don't even look ready in training, or there's other issues like contract stuff (Gomes).No he hasn't. Only Greenwood and Williams who got to play regularly. Gomes and Garner barely got any chance.
How do you know if they are ready or not without giving them time? How did we know Williams was ready? We knew after he played, and how are we expecting Gomes to sign a contract when he's barely getting any chances and seeing Lingard still chosen ahead of him even while being terrible?Maybe because they're not ready?

In fairness Chong in particular has been given games.How do you know if they are ready or not without giving them time? How did we know Williams was ready? We knew after he played, and how are we expecting Gomes to sign a contract when he's barely getting any chances and seeing Lingard still chosen ahead of him even while being terrible?
And anyway this isn't denying the obvious fact that the idea of him playing plenty of youth is simply wrong and a myth. What you are doing is giving excuses for why he hasn't, not proving he actually did. The only two youngsters who are playing are Greenwood and Williams. That's about it.
And your reasons are nonsense and based on pure assumptions, beside they have nothing to do with the original post I was replying , who literally said "Ole played plenty of youth". You came in and tried to give reasons for him not playing youth. You are simply proving my point that he actually doesn't play youth that much. I don't know, do you read all the posts before jumping to replay?Literally gave you a reason, but you just want to scream into the void and this to be an echo chamber of Ole hate. It's people like you who give the massive Ole supporters ammo.
Typical. Dodged the second part of the post too. Any way no reason to take this thread away from the main point any further for such a terrible argument.Yes, I'm the one making assumptions, all your posts are facts, my mistake.
This preferably playing next to Pogba with one in behind as a DM. 4-1-2-3 is the way to go for me. Pointless having wingers with our forwards.He doesn’t look a natural 10 to me. I don’t purport to be an expert on his game, but from what I’ve seen of his strengths and weaknesses, he seems better suited 15 yards further back and advancing.
He seems to be a player with a more expansive game than intricate one. Saying hey scored x goals, why play him deeper’ doesn’t tell the full story. Lampard is not what I’d call a natural 10 either. He’s no Silva (either of them), and these players aren’t best when the game is tightest. Bruno doesn’t seem to have the dribbling or agility of Bernardo for instance, not the vision for the intricate like David Silva. Goals and assists can come from deeper too. Gerrard was no 10, nor is Kevin de Bruyne. I can see Bruno being an underwhelming 10, and would prefer him to start off as an 8.5, similar to how Pogba plays. I don’t see the individual brilliance for the 10.
Yep this will be awesome. Id even try pogba LW with Fernandes CAM and Fred/mctominay behind to add some steel.This preferably playing next to Pogba with one in behind as a DM. 4-1-2-3 is the way to go for me. Pointless having wingers with our forwards.
How much it was before he signed for us?Reached 1 million Instagram followers today.
We surely make players into stars.
Now hopefully, he will deliver soon.

It won't be long before he hits 1 million, he doesn't have a blue for twitter. Should get it done.His twitter went from 40k to 191.6k after his move to United.
the biggest flop since Alexis Sanchez

I guess this is why Sporting stood firm on their valuation. A fair portion of the money was going to the agents and Sampdoria.
By “stood firm” do you mean “held out for as long as they could but ultimately capitulated”?https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/bruno-fernandes-transfer-details-confirmed-21551829

If Laura Woods asked me to do anything I'd ask her how many times
He sings his own song. Cool guy.
Calm and collected. We need these mature and hungry leaders. Maguire is another one, I think who pushes the rest of the squad
