I feel like he’s a different player in a back-3 compared to a back-4. He excelled in the same role back in Conte’s tenure, as he does now. The central CB in a back-3.

It appears to be an issue with Lindelöf judging from this forum, and I'm pretty sure he plays next to Maguire.

Those are outdated numbers, tbf. We're at 50% now for starters. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/may/22/premier-league-finances-club-guide-2017-18-accounts-manchester-united-city

Honestly, I feel like the majority of his performances in recent months have been above 7/10, so I'm definitely gonna disagree with you on that. Before yesterday, he was almost faultless for a couple of months, was brilliant on the ball and even his passing started to become more adventurous...

I'm quite sure he didn't mark their CB on corners. I think we had Smalling on Van Dijk and McTominay on Matip. I took notice, because I didn't know the coaching team rated McTominay's aerial abilities that highly (like, second best in our lineup). Anyway, not to take anything away from a great...

I don’t think he’s anywhere close to be ready for a club of our stature yet. However, I get why we’re looking to acquire new players before they reach they look like they’re ready to take the next step. Post Van Dijk, players like Skriniar are going to cost an absolute fortune. The only way to...

That's not true. It was presented like that due to a translation error. What the Danish national team coach said was that the injury Eriksen had could become chronic, which is obviously very different...

My beef with Vic is that it seems like his nerves or whatever are preventing him from actually letting his supposed strengths help the team. I would be very forgiving if he played the ball out of the back like Blind but left something to work on in terms of the physical duels with big, strong...

There's not much of a difference between a 3-5-2 and a 4-4-2 narrow diamond though, is there? As for the 4-4-2, when in possession the defensive midfielder would drop in between the centerbacks and the full backs would push forward and we would basically be in a 3-5-2 formation anyway. The...

That's not true, really. He was dropped after he was exposed by City in the first derby between Pep and José. I remember De Bruyne bypassing Blind standing on his heels. If there's one thing about Mourinho I don't like, it's that he always seems to drop a player that makes a mistake. It's...

So, Klopp blames the market and the state of it. Does he realize that he’s currently holding the world record fee for GK and CB? You can’t claim to just go with the tide, while you’re breaking the transfer records. Then you’re no longer a passenger, you are steering the ship.

Jørgensen basically told danish media that all that went through his head was to take the croatian down and try to make it look like he went for the ball, which means that he obviously should have been sent off. However, he did get very close to the ball so I can see why the ref decided for a...

How does one jump with the arms in a "natural position"? Nobody on the field jumps with the arms by their sides.

I would prefer Pogba to play on the right anyway - if Alexis is bound to play on the left that is. It seems like Alexis and Pogba wants to occupy the same space and when they're both on the left hand side they get in eachother's way. Having Alexis drift central from a starting position on the...

I'm obviously too young to have experienced it, but the World Cup in Mexico in 1986 will always be remembered for one particular pass from former red Jesper Olsen in Denmark. He basically gifted Spain an open goal (I can't link to the video because of the limitations of a newbie on this forum)...
