Bailly is a write-off. We need to learn much quicker and move on from perenially injured players, regardless of how good they may or may not be.I think someone properly aggressive like Bailly would be his best partner. Let's see if he can stay fit through ACON.
Right. Everything about him is right.Is he right or left footed?
I was thinking exactly the same thing! Imagine winning multiple CLs and a WC then playing for our shower of shite.Right. Everything about him is right.
The guy is class. Handsome too! He must be scratching his head at the mess he’s walked into.
I'd need to watch it again, I thought that was just a complete brain fart from lindelof and there wasn't much more that Varane could've done to coverHe did. He jogged very slowly when Lindelof misjudged the long ball and luckily the shot hit the post. There was no urgency at all to cover for his team mate.
Maguire has had a shaky few months playing in a team that has performed dismally across the board, not to mention the fact that the defensive shape and energy from the midfield/forwards has been miles off the standard required.I just don't know how you can still say with confidence that Maguire is the best partner for Varane.
Nope, he is a silent type.He isn’t very commanding is he? I expect a lot more
Yes, he isnt a ball playing CB. I hope you knew this when we bought him.The way he moves when he has the ball looks so awkward, reminds me of Smalling.
Ben White is shit. Definitely not jokes on us. Varane is one of the few who are good enough.Looks anything but a world class defender, we laughed at Arsenal for paying more for Ben White but the jokes on us, very average player.
For some reason our fans like to blame our best players when we don’t win. When in reality, it’s the same deficiencies that let us down (midfield). Anyone who can’t see that after this long knows nothing about football.feck me this place. So Varane is no improvement over Smalling? The mind boggles.
I had concerns with this signing and was shot down. Looks no better than the likes of Lindelof most of the time. In fact Lindelof looks better in many games. When you compare him to the likes of Rio or Vidic, true elite CBs, he doesn't hold a candle.
More wasted money by Ole.
didn’t know we had such knowledgeable football professors on the Caf. We are blessed!I never bought into the hype. Nothing special in the PL.
I think those people just expected VVD 2.0 because Varane is a big name.feck me this place. So Varane is no improvement over Smalling? The mind boggles.
United fans have a tendancy to get carried away with players based on previous hype or performances from past it players. I said the same about the likes of Di Maria, Sanchez, Lukaku, Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin and many more. You just know what a United player looks like. Basically ask yourself if Fergie would have signed them. The answer is no to many of them because they're mostly past it and have won a lot, so aren't hungry for it anymore, didn't want to be here or were just hype jobs that would never be accepted here because there's a standard of football expected.didn’t know we had such knowledgeable football professors on the Caf. We are blessed!
This.It feels weird to say that he was good except he could have done better for both goals, but considering wave after wave swept in… can’t blame him too much really. Thought he was pretty good.
agree, that’s a good point. But i wouldn’t put him and maguire at the same level. Harry has a lot to improve. I’ve seen the frustration in varane’s face when he was looking for a midfielder to pass to and couldn’t find one. There was a big empty space in front of him - this was very obvious in the villa game (the cup one). Also, the fact that he doesn’t know who his partner is makes it worse. Who is his CB partner? Also, if he plays on the right side of defense, who does he have to deal with? AWB or Dalot? If on the left then Shaw or Telles? Who is he looking for in front of him? Matic? Fred? McTominay?Varane is suffering a similar problem to Sancho in that he's now playing for a side that is utterly dysfunctional. At his former club he played with a world class midfield that rarely lost the ball; Modric and Kroos. And if they did they had an incredible defensive midfielder in Casemiro who won it back.
At United we can't keep the ball for.more than 3 passes and we don't have a midfielder who can cut out opposition attacks to any sort of adequate level. So rather than the few attacks he's forced to deal with, he has to contend with 10-15 serious opposition threats per game. Of course he's not going to look good in such circumstances. It's the same issue with Maguire.
