Bredbury Blue Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 1 hour ago, RickG16 said: I sometimes worry about this too. But it may just be we don't see that side. Just like we didn't see the friendly side of Mourinho side often but by all accounts he could be friendly. With all the pace we have, I honestly think the midfield / no 10 problem is being overplayed, but yes we need someone with more vision and the ability to put their foot on the ball than Lingard. Simple solution for you Nev.... How about put Pereira or Fred next to Scott and move Pogba up to the number 10 role? I was wondering why when you were chasing a goal he didn't take off the Morecambe lad; i guess from Zaha's 2 left side breaks after he went off, including the 2nd goal, we now know why.

balo Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Well I was going to talk about the poor United performance and that Ole is not the right man for the job and all that, but then Spurs lost at home to Newcastle, so I save that for later.

Sparkles Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Luke Shaw our for month ,hamstring . Marital having scan on his thigh maybe Sanchez might just have to stay.Plenty of backs champing at the bit for a game , very few up front unless you bring in the young uns.

Ashley Young, who will probably come in, gets an unbelievable amount of stick. I think he looked quite good when he came on against Palace. He always tries his heart out and is certainly one of our leaders. Doesn't seem to have lost too much pace either. However, with a large section of our support he'll now be a readymade culprit should anything go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a PL season that form would equate to a point a game, a 38 point season. Here you go Rick. Ole is the 3rd best manager in the period since his appointment (but after a great start his record is dropping off as i noted in the previous post). Check out Palace (above Spurs!) - now there's a manager making the most out of what he has available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toss up between the laugh and the cry....Jovanovic, Poulsen and Konchesky. The very thought of those three in LFC shirts still gives me nightmares. God knows who he'd have bought given more cash. He may be ok at managing lower level teams but I wouldn't let him near a top side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenwood will be given game time, and that might be bad news for opposition defences. This was a watershed moment - do we keep hoping that underperforming, overpaid foreign stars will come good, or do we draw a line under it and give this new batch of kids a chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always risks becoming 'the Zlatan Show' with him, but like you say he is still an amazing player and could be very useful to the squad. It might sound mad but I honestly think Rooney could have offered a lot recently even at his age. Imagine if he was playing in Lingard's position on Saturday. Through balls and set piece deliveries would have been a lot better I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
