  1. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    You're over emphasizing the defensive responsibilities - beyond getting back and being an extra body, most of the actual defending can be done by the wide center back, CM and the WB. The WB isn't supposed to put out a 1v1 defensive masterclass. What is "flexibility"? Is it just 4-4-2 vs...

  2. Viktor Gyökeres

    Just found this video and it's a much more detailed take on what I was trying to say above if you want to spend the time. On the whole, I don't think he's the guy for most CL clubs. He's a tier below what's needed and might come here because no one else really wants to pay that money. Apart from...

  3. Viktor Gyökeres

    I don't think the CL clubs want him honestly. It's a bit like the Onana situation -- all you need to do is to watch his highlights comps for 2 mins to know that he's not going to be able to replicate what he's doing against PL CBs. For us he'll still be good because we're really dogshit in the...

  4. Bryan Mbeumo | Newcastle ready to make bid (Telegraph)

    I always called him Alvaro Fernandez .. Think that's what he used to go by when he was here. I don't know where the Carreras came from. Confused me for a bit.

    God damn, Van De Ven is insane. If he can save his hamstrings from those sprints, he'd be some defender.

  6. Rayan Cherki | City in pole position to sign him

    We don't have a DOF man. Ten Hag and Murtough v2.

  7. Kobbie Mainoo (out)

    Keeping a 31 yo and selling a 20yo to raise cash is pure short termism. This is what having a DoF should prevent. Managers always push for the short term - they can't see beyond the next 5 games. And those next 5 games are much more winnable with Bruno than Mainoo.

    Only because you have no senior players fit to play there. Otherwise he wouldn't be getting minutes either. My general claim still stands, Arteta doesn't rotate very well and isn't going to develop youth unless he's forced to. Feel free to point out who he brought through in his 6 years in charge.

  9. United's midfield woes (2025 version)

    I'm camped in this thread until we get linked to guys like Baleba and Wharton. Or similar players from the continent.

    Sterling is crap mate. My argument is if Saka was fit, he'd be getting 0 starts this season. You can look at his minutes during the first half of the season for proof. I feel like you're spinning something here but I don't watch enough Arsenal to actually know if this is true. Arteta clearly...

    Let's be honest, the only reason for that is the injury crisis. Otherwise the previous season showed Arteta was happy enough to run his starters into the ground.

  12. United's midfield woes (2025 version)

    That's a 150 - 175M EUR bill, but I'm all for it.

  13. Ayden Heaven | 2024/25 Performances

    Why though? I think that's just an artefact of Maguire playing there and being quite good in the air. When the backline is Rudiger, Thiago Silva, Azpilecueta, the wider center backs are the ones going aggressive both in terms of nipping the ball from the striker's feet and also contesting aerial...

    It's not just about the stats when the sample size is 52 mins. For me, the eye test says he isn't ready. Ask yourself basic striker questions like: Did he ever make a run down the channel, receive the ball and hold it up for teammates? Did he win an aerial duel against a CB? Did he show a...

    I'd love to see Martinez at CCB to see if this whole CB stepping into the midfield is ever going to work. Not sure why but Amorim so far has refused to try that.
