If we fail this season, it will be on the coaching 100%. I mean look at the City team that put 5 past Arsenal. 2 out of their 3 attackers were freaking Jesus and Torres. Their midfield 3 was Rodri, Silva and Gundogan. A midfield that a lot here would consider a light midfield if it was ours.
As great a player Grealish is, we do not need a midfielder with his skill set. We need more of a conventional midfielder with control and great passing ability, rather than an attacking midfielder who takes a lot of risk and bomb forward at every opportunity.
Not sure what the meaning of higher peak is anymore. At Lima Ronaldo's greatest, did he achieve more than Cristiano Ronaldo? Individually or collectively(team). If no, then how was his peak greater than Cristiano's?
Ronaldo didn't rely on services while he was at united. He made things happen. I will take Cristiano's 2007/2008 season over any of Brazilian Ronaldo's.
Regardless of whatever context you want to place your original post, it doesn't change the fact that it was awful. Those players you mentioned will be swapped for pogba in a heartbeat(maybe with the exception of kdb) . Only an incompetent board will refuse such an offer. Like someone mentioned...
Yeah. People here are being overly critical. Like we are supposed to steamroll them. This was a very good performance in my opinion, given the context of the game.
So he basically need to help us win every game against all the big clubs for him to be a true world class player? Which other player gets held to such unrealistic standards? In fact what other midfielder in the world is held to such standards?
