I don't think being where he should be is bigging him up. Garnacho came on fresh against a tired opposition parking the bus, hardly a surprise.
He was hiding. That’s why he didn’t get on the ball. Garnacho wanted it, that’s the difference. This isn’t an isolated example with Mount. It’s what he is.
You are just making up nonsense, he was exactly where he should have been. Did you even watch the match?
Yes. If the game plan was for Mount to have as little of the ball as possible then I guess it was successful. It would be another in the column for sack Amorim and sell Mount mind you.
Jorginho is also objectively and excellent passer and tempo setter, something Mainoo isn’t at all right now.
These are 2 different things, being in position and passing the ball (the stat you gave).
Jorginho had Kante alongside him in that game. That can cover a lot of issues.
You can be in position and not show for the ball. That is still hiding.
Can you give me examples of him not showing for the ball?
This is just a handy excuse for players. Great players will be able to fit into just about any system - but we always hear this excuse trotted out for Utd players, oh he’d be great in X/Y/Z formation. It was the same with Sancho, and Rashford and many more before them - if they were good enough they would show it. Same thing applies to Garnacho now and also to Mainoo. He had a handful of good games when he first came into the team, was accelerated into the England team and has shown moments of quality - but only moments. Far more we have seen a player struggle to impact games whether as a 6/8/10 and who looks too pedestrian to play midfield in the Premier League
Agree with this. Things can change for him even in this system if we sign the right partner. That how you are supposed to build a squad by signing players the complement what you have and cover the defeciencies of their team mates. If Mainoo lacks range of passing and legs then his partner needs to be an excellent passer and have pace and power.
Agree, but people are too sentimental around Kobbie for the sake of it. Love having a home-grown player in there but they either need to improve, be sold or play in a squad/formation role that acknowledges their limitations. McT had his -if he'd been played as an 'off the bench goalscoring 10' rather than persistently in CM, we'd have avoided a lot of frustration as well as 'hoptimistic ' narratives about him, maybe he'd still be here and we'd be higher (and have won that final with him as a sub box-crasher).
Well most of our players seem to have regressed under amorim so something is causing this whether it's the system or his coach9ng I don't know but the idea we can just start again with a new set of players is unrealistic
Which players have regressed from earlier this season?
Do you think players just ignored him for a laugh? He doesn’t take responsibility to get himself on the ball and make things happen. Where are your examples of Mainoo hiding?
Garnacho and Maz form seemed to drop off from the start of the season.
I can't find the full game united Vs Brentford, but huge parts of that game. Incidentally it's the last time he played CM for us, later he started as a 10, did poorly, and didn't start anymore. I am guessing he's fallen out of favour with the manager.
Garnacho no. He was poor all season
You literally posted in his thread yesterday a chart of him 3rd??? In a wonderkid thing and followed it up with something along the lines of he's doing well for his age, did you not?
Oh no i'm getting flash backs. Not even being funny but he was 3rd in the chart you posted on like 11 g/a in 15 games, he then went on like a run of 25+ games without a goals or something (stats aren't 100% accurate, i know youre a stickler for accuracy) his form clearly wasn't the same all season.
Well if you put 2 slow players together it probably exacerbates the problem doesn’t it? Especially when one is an immobile geriatric
This was about Garnacho mate haha
Oh. That'd explain it.
