He’s actually a hindrance.Odion looks done bless him.

He can if we occasionally take near post flick. I am getting more fed up with Ole as time goes by.Yeah I think it's pretty clear at this point he can't do shit at corners.
You're having a laugh, right?God, our second team is so bad. This is Luton’s second string XI ffs
He's been like this many times. His first touch is terrible.Let's not write people off in their first game. He didn't even play against Villa.
Always baffles me the man doesn't shoot more often. Every time it's a bullet.That was a lovely cross from Mata, success unlucky from Jesse...
Think Matic hit that hard enough?!
For a long while now tbh.Ighalo hasn't been good.
You can see that trying to happen with Lingard, though - when he cuts in, VDB goes out wide to compensate. No one is making that swap for Mata as well, VDB can only cover one flank at a time. AWB should be the one charging up to provide width, since Matic is covering for him anyways. That's not happening, and you can see Ole shouting at him for that.I agree with your sentiment, but do think that a lot of what you describe is on our coaching and training. While the rigidity of LvG's cones (each player sticks to their cone) was perhaps unhelpful, there is something to be said for drilling positional sense into players. I have no problem with Mata, VdB, and Lingard starting along a line, but there has to be understanding between them that if Mata drifts inside, VdB slips out wide to maintain shape (and vice versa on the other side of the pitch).
There's playing square pegs in round holes and then there's moving the pieces around so that the square pegs still fit together. You only have to look as far as Gasperini at Atalanta for an example of how easily players can adapt to and embrace a creative tactical setup, and how that setup can turn a group of bargain bin buys into a fearsome squad.
But how??? . In last 6 months he played 3 gamesOdion looks done bless him.
I guess mostly the latter.I'm confused. Are you saying we aim for his head because it's so big the ball naturally gravitate towards it, or it's so big it prevents our set pieces from reaching their intended destination?
He looks forty.But how??? . In last 6 months he played 3 games
It would be the same as telling a Trump-voter that god is made up and that the pandemic isn’t. Not worth the trouble, but you can save your «I told you so’s» for when he’s gone, I sure will.maybe one day I’ll understand people’s faith in Ole
That’ll be why, no match fitnessBut how??? . In last 6 months he played 3 games
Why are people clamouring for Greenwood? He'll likely play a full match on the weekend. Save the kid.Wish we’d give Greenwood some minutes.
I wish I was, fellaYou're having a laugh, right?
I can sort of see why Ole hasn't trusted him when our front three of Greenwood, Martial and Rashford have looked tired and needed freshening up. Seems like a great idea on paper, but he's not the player we desperately need right now. At least not the level of player we need.Odion looks done bless him.
But he is expected to take on the attacking full back role. And he is not that player. It is so alien to him. Rabbit it he headlights in the final third sadly. So the point is if you want an attacking full back then we should have gone for someone elseHaha. Well I meant do you mean we as fans, or we the club, because I assume Ole picked him knowing what sort of player he was, rather than looking for a primarily attacking right back
Ahahha, I laughed so loud, been a while since last time I laughed like that.I know I was typing desperately hoping you didn't.
You really wouldn't.I would love a river.
Mata has never been a fast player as far as I'm concerned. Pace has never been his problem as well. His current problem is that most of his passing are pointless sideways with little penetration.I was born just 9 days before Mata and it's quite worrying to see someone of the same age as myself from the side like this. Do I look as slow while getting on and off the bus? Is it as frustrating if I can't get the balls into the hole?
You want us relegated?Bailly is fast! If only he could stay fit to have a run of 10 games.
Ahahha, I laughed so loud, been a while since last time I laughed like that.
It is a bad feeling isn't it.
