This is disappointing in my opinion. I honestly think he could be a great fit in Rangnick's system. We've recently seen Dalot stake his claim in the starting 11 - a player written off by 95% fans. I feel Martial could do the same given the opportunity. If it doesn't work out by the end of...

First and foremost, I would use "per 90 minutes" to normalize the data and allow for better comparisons among players. A simple approach from there, would be to segment by the pass type (e.g. short, medium, long, through balls, crosses) and analyze attempts, completions, and completion...

Not sure where I said, or even implied that. Excellent response though. Maybe next time you could provide a counter point to add to the discussion.

Even without Ronaldo coming in, Bruno needs to drop deeper. Of course his goals will drop off, but I think it's in the best interest of the team. I'm convinced his positioning is the reason our strikers struggle to get into games (Martial particularly). Our strikers don't have the space to...

I don't see why we should write him off so quickly. He has a good touch, seems quite confident on the ball and has a very good cross on him. I think he's a good backup and solid option as a wing back.

I don't understand this either. Every year it seems we're worried about a poor preseason. All teams follow the same schedule, we're by no means in a unique position. Fitness should not be an excuse. These are professional athletes, paid astronomical wages; being fit for the season is the...

This is shocking. Maguire has nearly 20 yards to get in position and force the attacker to the touchline, but stands there flat footed and lets the attacker play a ball straight through the middle.

This is what's so frustrating. Between Bruno, Pogba, and DVB, we should have the best midfield in the world, but our tactically inept manager simply cannot figure it out. And it's not only the team selection, it's the way they're setup. We are constantly overrun in the middle third because...

mental gymnastics here man

We could have salvaged the season weeks ago, but our feckless board will dither until we have nothing left to play for.

How much more do you expect from transfers and at what point do you expect a manager to show signs of improving the team he has? We couldn't defend properly, so we spent $130M on AWB and Maguire, yet we're still clueless defensively. We couldn't create chances, so we spent $100M on Bruno and...

I think Maguire generally gets a pass simply because of how expensive he was. He is a massive liability to the counter attack when we are playing a high line. It's also frustrating that we often have to play with 2 CDMs and 2 defensive oriented full backs to provide cover for the most...

I agree. If I remember correctly, he was playing in the position Bruno now occupies which he rarely (if ever) played under Jose.
