Who was it that said only City has a better squad than us? Yes, someone actually said this!

Just curious, name their players (Liverpool & Spurs) that you dare to swap + give them some cash. If our players aren’t better or on par surely their players worth more.Our squad reflects our position imo. No way do we have a better squad than Liverpool nor Spurs. I would say we're on par with Chelsea and Arsenal. I think people who think we have better players than that probably do because they overrate the likes of Martial, Rashford and even Pogba.
we need a mobile, tenacious and good on the ball DM. Matic doesn't cover the ground nor is his passing range consistent enough to set our tempo and his distribution is too slow. if we want to play 4-3-3 all of the midfielders must be good on the ball and capable of picking passes.. Then DM with added responsibility of protecting back 4, number 10 goal threat, box to box all round etc. I really think a player like Fred can be useful for us next to a DM because his all round game is solid plus two footed passing adds another element to our distribution.That's fair but do we have enough players like Eriksen, Silva, Bernard silva, De bryune, Ramsey, Ozil, Jorginho, Widjnaldum, William, Hazard etc
Forget the individual quality of these players but it is what they are able to do - to dictate tempo and passes across the pitch that we lack.
Its irritating. Pogba even on his best days should mot be our main dictator of passes.
ThiagoI think if we look at Liverpool, its the same problem they have. If their front three are not quite on it, they fail to break teams down because they have no real creative threat in their midfield.
Thankfully we have Pogba who, when he's on it, is fantastic. However, when he's not quite on it, we really struggle to create.
Going forward, we need to drop Herrera into the holding role and get a playmaker in the 8 role. Not too sure who that player is, but I look at City and how they have the two Silva's, De Bruyne and Gundogan in the advanced midfielder roles and cant help but think we need some of that creativity.
Martial Rashford Winger
Pogba Herrera Playmaker
This would completely transform our right side, which at the moment is pretty non existent.
Lingard is a good squad player, but gets find out against teams which we have to break down. I also noticed Rashford, Martial and Pogba and very individual players. There combination play is poor and they always hang onto the ball too long and hardly play the simple ball.We need an upgrade on Lingard. Whoever plays in that right wing/number 10 role is more often than not, not good enough.
I like this. Matic is too statue like for our aspirations, hopefully by next season he'll only come off the benchI think if we look at Liverpool, its the same problem they have.

Mobility is hardly the issue here. We need someone in the Carrick mold as a DM who can pull the strings. DM is a position where being mobile is the least important. Matic's problem is his offensive game. I don't think Herrera will solve anything there.I like this.

Last night's game would have been perfect for a young Carrick at his peak.Mobility is hardly the issue here. We need someone in the Carrick mold as a DM who can pull the strings.

Never talked about mobility. Just mean that our game is just too slow and Matic can take several extra touches instead of playing it forward and quickly.Mobility is hardly the issue here.

I don't know if it's just me, but it felt like the first few games under Ole we played really fast even if it didn't come off. Recently we've been slow and don't take as many risks. We don't press as much as we did either.Never talked about mobility. Just mean that our game is just too slow and Matic can take several extra touches instead of playing it forward and quickly.
That's for attacking, having Herrera there and another one there might improve defensive transitions.
For better understandingjust check out Matic's casual stroll for Wolves' 2nd goal last night. It was shocking
Matic was just leaving their penalty box after a corner when the ball was already coming close to our goal. No player would have caught up with that from that position.Never talked about mobility.

Definitely.Last night's game would have been perfect for a young Carrick at his peak.
It ain't matter of catching up but showing a little effortMatic was just leaving their penalty box after a corner when the ball was already coming close to our goal. No player would have caught up with that from that position.
I'm not bothered to do that because it's been done to death. It's too subjective and pointless.Just curious, name their players (Liverpool & Spurs) that you dare to swap + give them some cash. If our players aren’t better or on par surely their players worth more.
And name Chelsea & arsenal players that you would do straight swap.
You could fault him for many things but that sequence is not that significant imo. Herrera has never been played in that position, there's probably a reason for it.It ain't matter of catching up but showing a little effort
I agree. Someone like Veratti would be perfect.We lack a deep lying playmaker in my opinion. Somebody who can pull the strings in midfield and control the tempo of a game.
DM ? He has, multiple times even. For both Bilbao and UnitedYou could fault him for many things but that sequence is not that significant imo. Herrera has never been played in that position, there's probably a reason for it.
I meant for United. When did he do that?DM ? He has, multiple times even. For both Bilbao and United
Spot on! Been saying it for ages, we have no magician, who can do a piece of solo excellence to create or score a goal at any minute of the game, like a cantona, scholes, etc .That's fair but do we have enough players like Eriksen, Silva, Bernard silva, De bryune, Ramsey, Ozil, Jorginho, Widjnaldum, William, Hazard etc
