Simple explanation the difference between elite and idiot.
Bernardo Silva just started running at his man. Looked in control of the ball but when it becomes apparent he isn’t progressing…he shifts his body, puts it on to his other foot and recycles the ball. City keep possession.
meanwhile, over at Utd…Rashford (in the main) just keeps on running. And in most cases, loses possession.
the difference between Bruno and Odegaard is staggering . One looks after the ball and is constantly tidy whilst still offering a threat. The other is a petulant, emotionally driven waste of a pair of underpants
Exactly. It's so plain to see, yet our club and fanbase will keep on insisting we need to build around Bruno and Rashford.
They are utterly detrimental to achieving anything resembling control and dictating tempo. Recycling possession is the last thing on their mind, as they simply don't seem to understand why it's crucial.
It's kinda baffling how anyone can have watched Pep's City for the last 6+ years, and still don't understand how or why they are so tactically dominant. Keep the ball in the team at all costs, until your opposition is caught off balance/off guard, then go for the kill!
Whenever Bruno and Rashford receive the ball, it's straight into panic mode. And when we inevitably lose possession because of them, Bruno runs around like a headless chicken, whilst Rashford just goes for a calming walk.
Awful players to have in a team, and especially to build our whole team around. Genuinely awful.
