It really is damning when you put it like that. He clearly does think all of those things, and as far as a fan ever has the grounds to say so, they're all completely wrong.
. Depay may well Start on the left. I just don't see why it's seen as so far-fetched to play him in a free role and closer to the goal.I think the reason is that it even goes against what the manager has previously said himself. He's said that in his "philosophy" he prefers a no10 which is a central midfielder who can get forward rather than a striker playing deeper. So even though we have Mata and Herrera both have been overlooked for an experiment. I don't think people want to see an experiment when we all are hoping we have an outside chance of winning the league if he plays people in their best positions.Why can't anyone understand that lvg is merely putting a pacey goal scorer closer to the goal in a free role with no defensive duties instead of having him further away. Yes we all love Herrera but Christ this love affair with him is slightly crazy
I can see how at previous clubs LVG has recieved criticism as some of his decisions do seem unconventional. However if it works and we start the season well nobody will mind if were getting the wins. I just hope we dont end up ruing a poor start to the season again as we work out our best 11.
Match is on in five days, there's no way Pedro has a chance of starting (if he signs, that is).
Well if De Gea is going to leave, he looks the obvious choice to replace him as number one unless we pull something special out late in the window. Romero is 28 and an experienced goalkeeper, he isn't a kid who's getting thrown in the deep end - I'm sure he'd do the job for us. My main point being that I'd rather we planned for the inevitable future instead of playing De Gea who although is fantastic, may not be 100% mentally prepared for the game on Saturday.
Pedro is match fit, he's been a part of Barcelona's pre season - although you are right, he probably wouldn't start unless he signed literally within the next two days and took part in a couple of training sessions.
Im pretty sure we simply signed Romero to replace Valdes. I expect United to sign another goalie as number one if De Gea leaves
You'd hope so wouldn't you. I fear that the longer this goes on, the harder it's going to become to sign a worthy replacement. Hope I'm wrong of course
i have a feeling we will take Navas if De gea goes to madridYou'd hope so wouldn't you. I fear that the longer this goes on, the harder it's going to become to sign a worthy replacement. Hope I'm wrong of course
I don't rate him at all. He's just another Ospina/Bravo
Yeh I agree. But couldn't care... The goalie to get was cech and he's gone elsewhere unfortunately.
. Doesn't matter anymore once it's not someone absolutely clueless I'm fine at this point. Wish we would just buy Oblak. But we won'tOh god this id perfect. Please Louie!
That's the line-up I'd like to see.
I think we should avoid signing keepers (especially from foreign leagues) below 6'2 unless they are really good.Yeh I agree. But couldn't care... The goalie to get was cech and he's gone elsewhere unfortunately.
That's true. If it works - and his track record suggests that it does, eventually - then I won't be complaining. Well, not much.
Yeah, I agree. He doesn't seem the sort to play games like that with his opponent. And I remember seeing (and engaging in, probably) similar wishful thinking last season with the whole 352 thing, and every time it just turned out that he was inexplicably sticking with it.
This please.
Barring last-minute injury, Darmian, Schneiderlin and Depay will all start. 99% certain of that.
I'm kind of curious about it too, if he can cope with the physical part he definitely has the intelligence and technique required.
