Aye. These are the exact matches I thought he'd been bought forThis is exactly the kind of match we should be using Schneiderlin for IMO
At least we had pace out wide in that side. Mata is a slug, Ander is mobile but hardly rapid, and Memphis rarely stretches the pitch with his pace.Yeah, Carrick and Scholes wasn't exactly Usain Bolt on coke
Rooney has been anything but a striker, so it makes no difference. Fellaini will be an improvement.What a time to go into a Liverpool game with no fit striker.. Going to be a long game
Tbf, Carrick has been pretty gash this season.Since when is Schneiderlin a safer pair of hands (feet?) than Carrick?
The team is shite.Liverpool bench is shite
Coutinho is not playing.Coutinho will have a field day against Carrick and Bastian. But I think LVG is confident with De Gea so he has opted to go without Schneiderlin.
It's different though. The reason Scholes and Carrick got overrun was because SAF would play with a 4-4-2 which demands mobility from both CM's since the wingers will constantly be up and down. With 4-2-3-1, Carrick and Bastian are CDM's, deeper positioning, closer to defence, Herrera drops back and it becomes a midfield three, hence less likely to be overrun.Reminds me of when Fergie used to play Scholes/Carrick together away at Anfield, and they'd constantly get overrun.
LVG seems to have gone with experience for today, really hope it pays off, but my gut says its a big mistake
Xavi and Iniesta were pretty slow, if they play half as good as those two I'll be happy!Carrick and Schweinsteiger is possibly the slowest midfield pairing in history.
That as well.The team is shite.
Coutinho is suspendedd
Firmino is playing in his place just saw it. That's a great news. Haven't seen Firmino play yet, is he any good?T
The thing is mate, he is banned.
Couthinho is outCoutinho will have a field day against Carrick and Bastian. But I think LVG is confident with De Gea so he has opted to go without Schneiderlin.
Every cloud.....If we lose to Liverpool don't expect me to be active until Sunday
If it helps you add Herrera in a midfield 3.I feel like a midfield 2 of basti and Carrick is a mistake but I hope I'm wrong!
Not like we play with much pace anyway.Fellaini as a 9 would surely need pace around him. Fellaini up top and Mata on the wing is walking football.
Every cloud.....
Just joking, I don't even know who you are.
You will regret that comment, I'll remember to quote you laterGonna be funny watching an actual target man in Benteke compared to our knock off version.
