Very impressed by his first outing. If he improves his movement in the final third then he's gonna have a big future.
if di maria goes i can swear you he will get the 7 shirt.Can't see him losing the #9, regardless of his playing position. I don't think he would have been given it at all, if there was a chance it would be given to someone else. He'd have been given 15, or 24 or something.
Yeah that's true actually. Other than that though, I don't see him taking 15, 19, 24 or whatever the next available number is.if di maria goes i can swear you he will get the 7 shirt.
#10, made some good runs but naturally looks to be getting used to a position he doesn't usually play.What position?
Sorry for the questions in multilpe threads as I didnt watch the game.
I like the way he's so committed in his play. Makes a decision early and follows it through. None of that indecisive faffing about that Nani used to do. Been a wee bit hit and miss so far but I reckon he's going to be class for us.Nice half from him. Clean finish.
What's impressed me with Depay are his basics. His touch and passing look more complete than I'd expected at his age and the type of player he is. Sometimes there's a fear with this type of player, they're happy dribbling and doing the fancy stuff but lack in the technical areas. Not so much with Memphis, he even brings the ball down under pressure well.
You know itThis forum will explode if he scores 2+ vs Barca lol
I'm tired of two striker systems that don't work. LVG will play 433, he's just in experiment mode but he's said multiple times that it's his formation of choice.Hmmm...
Maybe LVG is planning on using Memphis and Rooney as an attacking due? A #9 and #10?

It would be bold if you said he will be one of the best in the worldA superstar in the making. As long as he LvG keeps him grounded, he has everything needed to be one of the best players in the world. Bold statement but i'm sticking to it
Yeah he works on instinct. Got a very good feeling about him.I like the way he's so committed in his play. Makes a decision early and follows it through. None of that indecisive faffing about that Nani used to do. Been a wee bit hit and miss so far but I reckon he's going to be class for us.
Apart from the fact that every attacking player would prefer running onto the ball in space, if possible, what makes you think this is particularly true for Depay? I'll admit I never watched him in Holland but the various youtube clips I've seen usually show him picking the ball up with defenders still to beat, then cutting inside onto his right foot to get a shot off.My slight worry is that we may be repeating the same mistakes with him that we are making with Di Maria. We are playing the ball to his feet when it seems obvious that his strength is running on to the ball and running into space. Playing him as a no. 10 will inhibit all of his strengths. IMO.
That's what I meant, maybe I didn't word it right. But he seems to be your traditional inside forward who looks to cut in and score from wide positions. We seem to be using him as a no. 10 so far though which doesn't showcase his talents at all. For example, from what I have seen so far, his passing is nowhere near good enough to play in that position. I could be wrong however. He may have done well as a no. 10 in the past.I've seen usually show him picking the ball up with defenders still to beat, then cutting inside onto his right foot to get a shot off.
Actually if anything, I've been pleasantly surprised with his passing as a #10. Not once has his passing seemed off or anything like that, for a winger like him it's really good actually. He's a very clever and creative player as well and has great movement so he always seems like he'll get a goal/assist whenever he gets on the ball while playing as a 10. The only thing you could say is that his spacial awareness for that position isn't that great yet, and that he gets caught waiting for the ball to come to him so the defender steps in front of him pretty often, but his touch and passing has been very good and creative so far IMO.That's what I meant, maybe I didn't word it right.

Anyway, it is preseaon so probably no reason to get too fussed.
Gotcha. Although I was impressed with the creativity of his passing in the first game. Van Gaal seems to be intent on turning him into a striker anyway, so I guess we shouldn't get too hung up on the position he played at PSV.That's what I meant, maybe I didn't word it right.

Yes. His off th ball movements is really nice and he has good instincts as well.Looking more and more like Memphis could play a bit of striker next year.
