What's mediocre about that team?
what?Ahhh I actually quite like the look of that team on paper. Holy hell nice dude that looks like a dynamic looking attack and midfield. But if you go with something like that the left and right back have to be so so important so you need good players for that formation.
For sure though that is one sexy looking starting 11.
It’s a much better starting 11 then what United have right now.
Pogba instead of Felix and we will have a very good team challenging there
Pogba is a midfielder. I don't think he's creative and consistent enough to operate as a second striker.
Ruben Neves has been undewhelming in the EPL but it seems alot of our fans want him due to YouTube highlights.
For someone, whose just turned 22 and has played in his first PL season and he's part of the center midfield partnership that's been the strongest out of the top 6. In fact, they've got a midfield that's better than ours. He's a terrific deadball specialist which we've lacked over the years. And more so, he's more mobile than Matic. We've played 3 games against Wolves and have struggled against that midfield in all three of those games. I wouldn't call his season underwhelming as such. He will only get better.
Yeah. It is a step up and you never truly know how a signing will go, but certainly the technical quality doesn’t change. If he is great at shooting/ passing/ crossing then that is going to be an asset wherever he goes.
Has he actually played in midfield all season, or has he featured in more advanced positions?
Underwhelming tbh. Two defensive fullbacks without zero wingers, an attacking midfielder at wide midfield, a kid that is still having his first good season at the portuguese league as the fulcrum in midfield, an unconvincing defensive midfielder, two inconsistent not-so-strikers in attack. That team is so unbalanced it is unreal imo. Little top level experience too.
Always in midfield in a midfield 3 as the most advanced midfielder with license to get in the box.
I think the team was based off future potential and not next season. Because like I said Felix is still to raw to make the step up.
We are just 6 players away. Well, that is until one of them hits a rough patch.
I agree and having Moutinho mentoring him helps too. I think he’s done fine for first season and playing for wolves.
defensive fullbacks? I wouldn't call Shaw defensive... Wan Bassaka is defensive no doubt but he'll provide us the strength in defense that we've lacked. We've leaked 40 odd goals while Liverpool and City have conceded less than half. Felix is someone who will pretty much walk into the Real team if he gets bought. I don't see how he's less of a player for us. Unconvincing defensive midfielder? Who would you rather recommend whose dynamic and defensive at the same time? I agree that Martial and Rashford need to do better and as far as top level experience? What have we achieved with having top-level experience? Mhiki? Zlatan? Sanchez? Mata? Fred?
He's a poor mans Rodri, immobile, slow and has been underwhelming for Wolves in the EPL. If we signed him as a replacement for Matic, then you'll see the same issues with Neves that alot complain about Matic. Moutinho is the the one that makes Wolves tick.
Rodri is also 22 and is quite clearly superior to the the slow and immobile Neves.
I think you are underrating Neves quite a bit.
I do agree about the Moutinho point though he has been their best player all season.
Rodri is a terrific player no doubt. City are in for him as well and more so Neves has experience playing in the Championship and the PL which cannot go unnoticed.
I think Neves is being over rated among our fans. He definitely has potential, but from what I've seen and heard from Wolves fans, he's been underwhelming for them. Moutinho is a class act though and wouldn't mind seeing him play for us.
Sadly he came to the EPL too late Moutinho as much as I hate his guts is such a neat and tidy midfielder. Class act that SOB.
Moutinho is 32, no thank you.
I would take Moutinho even at 32 if we could get him on a reasonable fee. He's such a brilliant player to watch..
Agreed, poor defensively and slow. No doubt he has the odd banger in his locker and a good passing range, but certainly nothing to suggest he’d do much for our team at the price we’d have to pay.
Never gives the ball away and controls the tempo of the game very well.
He is still a cnut though
He would be our cnut though, so that wouldn't be a problem..Never gives the ball away and controls the tempo of the game very well.
He is still a cnut though
Shaw is defo better in defence than he is in attack, he is not the kind of FB that runs a wing alone. With Wan-Bissaka on the other side in a system that does not use wingers at all, it does not look good imo. Liverpool and City have conceded less than us, but they have also scored more than us.
The midfield, although could be made to work, looks unbalanced on paper. Neves might possess a great passing range, but I feel he is not very assertive for the role he'd have to play in that midfield. Someone like Rodri would provide much more solidity at the base of midfield. Bruno might also be too deep and wide there unless you are going with a 4-2-2-2, then width could be a problem.
Martial and Rashford are no proper strikers, are a bit inconsistent, and I don't think a 19-year old from the portuguese league having his first full season is the guy to support them and be the main fulcrum in the team.
It has potential and that's about it. Will not challenge for top 4 . Will be lucky to finish top 6.
Not really. As I said, it has tremendous potential.
That’s an absolutely insane opinion.
Goal number 27 now and he has tied Frank Lampards record.
This guy really could be the signing of the summer, I hoped we would sign Bernardo Silva, before he went to them and would be gutted if we miss out on Bruno, hard working,
very good technically, with a fantastic eye for goal.... go get him ole

A lot of us wanted Moutinho after Euro 2012, unfortunately it never happened, that was back when we seemed allergic to buying a midfielder.
I was surprised he never left to a big club after Portos fantastic 2010/11 season. He was phenomenal.(feck him)

Long range ability is all well and good. But is his close control/dribbling brilliant? Don't need more squad options who aren't excellent in this regard
He has great technical ability. He rarely loses possession if that is what your also asking.
These numbers are in a bad Sporting side...I can imagine if we were actually good.
Good video this too. I cant wait for Scoutnation to make one.
More detailed for those interested.
