Is it hype? He's young, doing well in France, and will be relatively cheap. People are discussing him as a backup to Mainoo.

I'm a Dodger fan so you choose to believe what I believe about your club's situation. Here are the things I think are right with the Giants, and what is negative things about the Giants 1. Farhan hasn't signed guaranteed studs, but at the same time, he kept the prices down and only for like...

Angel Gomes could be a utility player for us. Could be a back up to Mainoo, or in matches where we can get lots of possession, can slot next to him. He is like Mainoo in that he can play out from the back, but can also get forward and provide the last pass. Ideally you still want 2 other...

xG arguments in favor of Ten Hag xG arguments in favor of Ten Hag Deflects when xG is used against Ten Hag. People moan because the performances, backed up by xG, show that we are performing worse than what our crap results show. Important to note the results (his best metric) are crap too...

The McTominay comment :lol: Even if the new structure gives him great players, his talent ID is awful.

You call those opportunities?

2 of the last 3 seasons were awful. You're really running the risk of ruining any hope of selling him off. For how much he makes, it becomes impossible to get rid of him if he has another mediocre season. Find someone who will fit the next manager better than Rashford. He's not irreplaceable at...

Not everything was a fact. His footwork and dribbling have always been average. Just because he occasionally puts in a trick which gets him past a defender doesn't mean his dribbling was good. A good dribbler can average 3 dribbles a game. His decision making is terrible. He makes his mind up...

Why not? Chelsea just did it. City have done it. If we truly believe he's not good, just let him be another team's problem.

Bring in Amass

But what is his ideal system? That's one of the main reasons why I dislike his managing this season. That it's what he's currently dishing out this season considering he refuses to adjust (not necessarily a bad thing in a vacuum), or it's something that he has yet to really show any conviction...

You keep talking about fallacies, and you're the one with the straw man fallacy. Nobody is saying United park the bus. We're saying Ten Hag's tactics are crap because he doesn't value control or compactness. His team selections do not paint Ten Hag as a manager that values Control. He selects a...

Then Ten Hag either has no clue in how to incorporate a successful organized press, or he doesn't value it properly because Rashford's effort levels regardless of form, doesn't justify as much time as he has gotten. There is no logical line of thought that can wrestle with the contradiction...

In other words, we're supposed to believe he's trying to transition to a new style that doesn't fit Rashford, that he will achieve it by having newer players that are different from Rashford, but yet continues to play Rashford currently. Doesn't seem like he really believes in this new style of...

Start valuing compactness, and picking players that facilitate control, both in possession and in allowing you to have compactness. I'm not a results oriented person when it comes to setting up the foundation of a title winning team. Get United to be entertaining, and value things that every top...
