WTF how can they do the semi final draw while our game is on ?
That's exactly how city play. Just that better players are able to take a first touch to beat the man over play a good ball round the corner.Passing to someone facing the wrong way, with a player already on him, is an unique way of beating the press.
Matic has been fecking awful. His passive, cowardly, lazy play makes the job of everyone around him 10 times harder. It happens every time he plays. He's utterly pointless.Matic has been fine.
I'm a huge Maguire fan, but hes been shocking for the most part. That's a hospital pass he plays Fred. Of course Fred was poor, but it was needless.
McTominay and Bruno for Donny and Fred please. Cavani for Tony as well.
The analysis is spot on.That analysis of Martial’s movement is woeful.
Had he come short every time instead of stretching the back three they’d be kicking his arse for not making runs in behind.
He’s had a shit season but he’s far from the problem today.
With a one-two first time return. Fred pads his passing stats with those kinds of balls every single game.How are you "beating the press" by giving the ball to a guy with his back to said press?
City already KOed us twice from semi final in the last 2 League cups.If we draw City, we’re winning
If we draw Soton, we’re losing
Thats how it goes
Get in!City v Chelski please
Yep, Fred moving towards Maguire drags the player behind him closer to goal, thereby leaving a big massive space in midfield for another United player to occupy for an 'out' ball whilst being pressed. The issue, as you've pointed out, isn't the idea, it's the execution.Fred wasn't facing the wrong way.
Fred deliberately moves towards the ball and asks for the pass. It's something that happens lots of times in every single match and Maguire was right to trust his teammate. That's how team sports work.
If Fred didn't want the pass, he could have stayed where he was and pointed out to the wings.
I was just curious. So get fecked.Who cares?
We are cryptonit for them.City v United
Just wait for it
By the time Fred received the ball the Leicester player was on him. Yes he should have passed it better but Maguire can see what was happening behind Fred. Just because Fred said pass, Maguire shouldn't have passed.I’m blaming Leicester’s goal on Maguire. Good to see Beinsports doing the same
I heard from a very reliable source he’s actually Irish!Fred isn't really Brazilian is he ?
