I'd love a Bernardo Silva. Someone who can play on the right, but then also start in midfield to help us blitz through the bottom half teams. With another option on the right to stretch the pitch, or come off the bench to add some pace into the game.
Nah keep Matic at least. We need the depth and I think he'll be okay with a lesser role in the team. Our midfield depth is pitiful, outside of the trio in the OP we have Matic, Herrera (leaving) and Pereira.
I think that's his position, and Mourinho was just using him wrong. Fred was considered by City in the summer to compete with Fernandinho and you can see why.
, I feel like Barca had more gears to go up last night but they were still there for the taking imo. More of the same at Nou Camp lads we'll have more space because they'll want to attack way more in-front of their own fans! You just never know what can happen in this crazy game called football!I guess you don't want a RW then? we should play with width imo
, he had 11 opportunities to whip them in and wasted them all, the one time we got a good cross in (via Rashford) we should have scored. I'm sure if Dalot was playing there last night we would have scored atleast 1, Young is done here!I like it, but it doesn't negate the need to add quality. With Matic, it is a good Midfield four. But.. but... it needs to set a consistent standard of performance, and neither McTominay nor Fred have shown or achieved that quite yet. But.. it is hopeful. For some games, many games in fact, it could be a super midfield three.
Exactly. In an ideal world Fred and McTominay would work out just fine but of course we'll need quality additions. Bruno Fernandes seems like someone that could be cheap-ish and do well for us.
He's had opportunities on the right of a front 3, plenty actually. I'm a fan of Lingard but since his return from injury he's done absolutely nothing, I hope he can switch it back on ASAP. More of the same at Nou Camp boys nothing to lose, no shame in losing to Barca as long as you give it a real go (like last night). Just lacked that extra edge to score, but everything else was really impressive!
He's had some sloppy moments no doubt, giving away the ball a few times but I think his movement off the ball and intensity he brings wold be beneficial to our transition play. Lingard isn't perfect but there really isn't anyone else in the team who offers what he can.
Up until last night I thought Fred had always performed better when higher up the pitch, creating chances from possession. So I don't think it's an issue.
Agreed, Bench Lukaky for Nou Camp. Try Martial at 9.
He's not had one bad game under Ole, and that clown Jose had him playing CB. He was never the worst, heck Pogba has had worse performances than anyone in the squad!
For about one football match.
Jose only played him a handful of times and it was more than one game at CB, he hasn't been the worst of our midfielders, far from it.
Any accusation that Jose was bad for McTominay has no credibility at all. None. People just love to complain about caf villains.
We still need them to start. Pogba, fred, McTominay is still miles off what a team like United should have in midfield. It's good to have good competition in midfield, but as of now, we need better then 2 of those 3 anyway in the starting 11. Fred could be a high quality rotation option with McTominay as a back up, but we definitely need a massive upgrade there if we want a step up as a team. Our best performances come when our current midfielders manage to all put in amazing performances, which is rare.
Lets bring Jose back then!? He was completely in the wilderness, not even rotting on the bench, rotting at home! Jose had given up on him completely, there's no way he would of played any CL games or important PL games under him! He would of persisted with Matic until the end of time.
