Lingard, Fred and Dalot please !
His crossing was no better at Villa. It just looked good on Match of the Day.This is what i dont get with Young, when he played for Villa he was one of the deadliest set piece takers in the league, his crossing was excellent, he could dribble, shoot, he was great.
He signs for us and cant cross the fecking road.
Lukaku and Mata are the problem, they're too slow.
Pogba looks off, maybe he needs a rest.
Don't understand the Shaw criticism, he's been our best player.
First of all that pass to rashford wasn't very difficult. only an idiot would see that opportunity and not take it unless the other outcome results to a goal."Lukaku is such a lazy player. Such a lazy thinking player. "
The criticism of his cross was sandwiched between these generalizations
I am inclined to agree.My lord the hype for Peirrera was odd before the Reading game.Hopefully this match further illustrates his mediocrity,while underlining the hasty need to hype up our youth players.
Lukaku, Matic and Mata have been fine. Jones been okay too (for a change). It's a bit hysterical right now.Pereira, Lukaku, Jones, Young and an aged Matic and Mata are between poor/shite on a normal day to be fair.
Welcome to the cafe.Surprised to see Lukaku getting such abuse
I agree on the bold. Problem with many here is they treat any good pass for some players like it's an unbelievable and groundbreaking thing for a player to do. The fact is anyone would have done such pass. The pass to Lukaku earlier in this exact ball was actually much better one.First of all that pass to rashford wasn't very difficult. only an idiot would see that opportunity and not take it unless the other outcome results to a goal.
Now the pass Im talking about was the early cross he made. For him to attempt that would mean he thought rashford or whoever was at the end of it would somehow head the ball in from an awkward position. The sensible play there would be for him to MOVE with the ball and try and pick out a better pass given there were three players ahad of him. Is that so Hard for someone that can think multiple steps at a time? I think not.
Couldn't agree more.We've always needed to buy an attacker, and probably need 2, considering our two best attackers are a 23 and 21 year old that are just now nailing down their spots in the 11 after the Mourinho shiite. A nailed on right sided player and another good rotational piece would help loads
Just need the right players to shoot and shoot more often. It will help if those who don't have the skill to also shoot and at least hit the targetJust not happening for us ATM. Missing Martial and Jesse.
And there was that Stephens foul only getting a yellow in Brighton/FulhamHalf time and they showed the goals from other teams....ok PL has the worst refs on Europe. City goal was a foul on the keeper, arsenal had 2 penalties not given, wolves had 2 pk as well not given and the second one even a blind person would see that.
Yes, Andreas is playing too deep when in the opponent's half. He should be close to Mata in near the box and interchange with him, allowing Lukaku to move towards goal and Young providing width. Don't allow Mata to switch the play to Shaw on the wing, it just allows Burnley to switch their defensive block. Need to make Burnley's defenders turn and defend the space behind them.Pereira isn’t physically imposing enough to play the tight marking game he likes to do.
I feel like he’s also playing too deep when we have possession, we need him much higher up next to Pogba to help push Burnley back even more. We’ve got him and Matic sat infront of the back 4 in a square and it’s making us struggle to build up.
Having a month off and then playing 8 games in a row doesn't help with fitness.
Lukaku isn’t slow. Mata has never relied on speed to be good. Pogba had about a month off when Jose benched him before he go sacked.
