That will be De Ligt, the CB talent only 17 years old. Also played from the start against Lyon and Schalke. Sometimes a bit too much enthousiasm what results in free kicks or penalty's but also plays with loads of confidence and really had Lacazette in his pocket in the 4-1 home win. Will be interesting to see him battle against Rashford.
Drop me a PM and I'll post it here.
Not, I didn't claim they have tactical omnipotence. They are not good at defending a lead, so they will try to extend the lead. If you're good at attacking, conceding a goal isn't that much of a problem. They're convinced that they can make more goals than the opposition because they play better football. They are frail, but I don't think United is the most likely team to exploit that, and with young players that experience a season like this, they become less vulnerable with every big game. United had two nailbiters too, so how big is that difference? How is a 2-0 home win a more comfortable lead for an attacking team than a 0-1 away win for a defensive team?
I used a hyperbole to get a point across. Their attacking style of play with the emphasis on the positional game and awareness dates back to the sixties. It has evolved an been tweaked and managers have been playing it differently, but it's deep down in the clubs DNA to the extend that the tea lady and the laundry lady know a lot about it. For example 17-year old Kluivert is ahead of 23-year old Younes when it comes to positioning and awareness because Younes has only been two years at Ajax and German football wasn't much of a preparation.
For sure! Was in the stadium that game and that happened in 'our' corner. Whole stadium went nuts haha, that's what I meant with his confidence! Great character at 17Don't you just love the action on 03:00 where he keeps Lacazette off the ball followed by that throw away gesture? Kid is 17 years old!
@TheReligion have you been a naughty boy? Were you being condescending to the Dr?
I'll be hiding in the shed if that happens so can't help ya.
Obviously it depends on who is on the pitch but my guess would be something like: Pogba, Rashford, Mata, Martial and Micky.
We must be prepared for any scenario. Players must spend good time practicing on taking penalties for me it should be Herrera-Mata-Pogba-Rooney-Carrick
Don't sleep again till the final then.I dreamt we lost this 4-1 with LVG managing them
He seems to read the game well but looks pretty slow to me. Not that you need to be fast to be a good centreback.
Aye, that was good.Don't you just love the action on 03:00 where he keeps Lacazette off the ball followed by that throw away gesture? Kid is 17 years old!

Chris Sutton believes this is conflict of interest....knobhead.
Think he lost a couple in Spain versus Barca.
I think someone in another thread said he'd lost one, won 11.
Out of the top of my head, I think he lost both a Portuguese Cup final (against Benfica) and a Spanish Cup final (against Atlético).
Atletico are pretty much the only team that can out-Mourinho a Mourinho team.
He could be faster but luckily for us unlike reading the game speed can be trained at 17 with interval training.
I have a way nicer clip but I can't post it due to like constructions. And yes, like Nouri and Klaassen he is a real kid of the club.
Both in extra time too.
You can post the link/url to the video, you just can't embed the video into the post.
He's Slovenian and he once refereed a match I played in. That's about it.
He's 11-1 in finals losing to Athletico.
How can he have only a loss, if he lost also a Portuguese Cup final to Camacho's Benfica?
What year? Everything I'm reading points to one final loss at Madrid
