Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
Speaking of the Swiss team, I think they will shock us at the upcoming WC. Brazil and Serbia better watch out. Cameroon as expected, will be forcefully bundled inside a Swiss Bank account and forgotten.ohsee wrote: ↑Mon Oct 03, 2022 6:04 pmWell, Chief, maybe you are right. I don't pretend to be an expert on footie. But your opinion is in the minority (not that minority opinion is wrong). Twtter is blowing up over Akanji, and the commentators on the EPL Channel were effusively singing his praises. But we are only four games in. He may revert to the form you have seen at Dortmund in the coming games. I have to agree that except for the last game I was never impressed with his performances for the Swiss national team.danfo driver wrote: ↑Mon Oct 03, 2022 2:44 pmUncle, the Akanji praise is laughable. I saw him at Dortmund and he was okay -- not great. I have seen him at City and he is better than the horrid Ake, but still not great.ohsee wrote: ↑Sun Oct 02, 2022 9:58 pmNna, na wa for City. The EPL should make City play minus one or even two players, that's how good they are. In all the talk about their forwards and midfielders, we forget about the defenders. Today--and in the last game he played for Switzerland--Akanji looked like the second coming of Virgil van Dijk. The van Dijk of two seasons ago, that is. Bobo is calm and collected on the ball, and plays like he is playing against small pikins. Has he always been like this, or is this the influence of Pep? Pep claims to know how to make defenders better.Scipio Africanus wrote: ↑Sun Oct 02, 2022 3:59 pm Can Arsenal take points off City? Kai! This team sef!
We all saw how shaky their defense looked once Pep started taking out the starting forward players who keep possession of the ball and deprive the opponents space to put pressure on their defense.
Laporte is back soon and I expect him to partner Dias. Akanji and Stones as back ups and the sh11t Ake as 5th choice.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
I watched the game and he is a good player. he performed as good as Ake and that tells you a lot. He is a good player, but thats it.
I remember when everyone used to sing praises of his former team mate, Zagadou! I watched Zagadou, ONCE!! Bro, I am not lying! ONCE! and i knew he was sh1t! I am someone who always recommends that you watch players multiple times before you make a judgment. However, I watched this chap once and I immediately recognized how shiaaat he is! He lacked every single basic of a defender. I am not surprised he was released from Dortmund and ended up at Stuttgart AFTER the market was over. No one wanted him!

The playbook to beat City is a very difficult one. Carefully co-ordinated pressing(requiring very fit and very well drilled players) to put them off their rhythm, skillful passers to pick out runners on the wings or deliver perfect through balls, and quality finishers to put the ball away (like what Vieira's team did to them last season). A lot of "ands" because if you slip up on any of those, City will punish you IMMEDIATELY, not 10 minutes later, not 5 minutes later, not even 2 minutes later o!, but IMMMEDIATELY!
The good thing about watching football in multiple leagues is that you get to see these players before they come to England and the English cannot claim that they "made" these players. I saw haaland in Austria and Germany and he is playing at City exactly the way he played in Austria, Germany and CL. When Pep influences him, like he has influenced someone like Walker, I'll let you know.
P.s has Pep influenced Grealish as well?

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
I'd like to think its mostly because Haaland has joined a well oiled team that always creates tonnes and tonnes of chances, and also he himself is making a mockery of the so called best league on earth, he is finding it very easy to slot it hattricks and bully defences.Scipio Africanus wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 12:09 amHaba!

This is false. Literally factually false. Its obvious you didn't watch Haaland in Austria and Germany. You should look at his stats in those leagues + CL and compare it to his performance in City. Its actually the same. no difference.

These are Haaland's stats with DortmundThose numbers produce a staggering league ratio of 1.89 goals per 90 minutes - more potent than any other player in Europe's top five leagues this season to have played in excess of 144 minutes.

So far, Haaland has 1.89 goals per 90 minutes under Pep (0.021 GPM) vahsus 1 goal per 81.7 minutes at Dortmund (0.012 GPM). That's almost double his strike rate at Dortmund! Are you still denying that Pep is an ... influencer?Haaland struck a further six times before the season was out, ending the 2019/20 Rückrunde on 13 goals in 15 Bundesliga appearances - or one every 81.7 minutes.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
But, isn’t the stat you posted a bit simplistic? Can you post the number of conversion he got per quality chances created and that may show a clearer picture?
Showing goals scored as a function of time on field can be misleading. Now he has Debruyne, Silver and Gundoghan. Of course he will get more quality services per game.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
My dear fellow, you don't compare absolute number of goals when the number of games played ain't the same for Haaland in the PL and the Bundesliga. You either use ratios or you say from jump that we should avoid making comparisons until the end of the season. Shebi you go school? Now go and feed your pet Cito.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
United need three players, 2 midfielders and another central defender, yes i mean another central defender. I love Martinez but until United can learn to keep possession and deny coming under incessant attacks , their frailty at the back(size wise) would continue to be exploited. At the moment they have only one proper midfielder Ericcson, Bruno is a support striker pretending to be a midfielder, other than being good at pressing and moaning, he is one of the culprits who lack creativity with what to do with the ball or how to dictate the tempo of the game. ETH was the dearth of creativity in his team , so he decided to play Erricsson from the deep , something akin to Modric, but then it takes more than one creative midfielder to play possession football.
I am baffled by one thing though, why is ETH still trying to play the United way? Sit back and then break on the counter, it seems that is the only approach United comes to the games with. The problem here is , if it does not work , they shyte at every other aspect of the game, in fact they become sitting ducks for their opponents, they dont even have to be City, heck Watford did them for 6 easily, Brentford could have done them for 6.
ETH should go get his De Jong or whatever midfielder out there he can get, he should start playing like the Ajax I saw and discard this dated United way tactics, or simply make it one of the options or variables of their game.

Haba! "Influenced" no bi di same as "made" naw! So far, Haaland is deadlier than he ever was in Germany. A big part of that is Pep's influence. You think Haaland would be banging in this many goals if he was playing for ... Klopp?
This is false. Literally factually false. Its obvious you didn't watch Haaland in Austria and Germany. You should look at his stats in those leagues + CL and compare it to his performance in City. Its actually the same. no difference.

These are Haaland's stats with DortmundThose numbers produce a staggering league ratio of 1.89 goals per 90 minutes - more potent than any other player in Europe's top five leagues this season to have played in excess of 144 minutes.

So far, Haaland has 1.89 goals per 90 minutes under Pep (0.021 GPM) vahsus 1 goal per 81.7 minutes at Dortmund (0.012 GPM). That's almost double his strike rate at Dortmund! Are you still denying that Pep is an ... influencer?Haaland struck a further six times before the season was out, ending the 2019/20 Rückrunde on 13 goals in 15 Bundesliga appearances - or one every 81.7 minutes.

You either use ratios or you say from jump that we should avoid making comparisons until the end of the season. Shebi you go school? Now go and feed your pet Cito. Abeg make sure you give him an extra biscuit. He really tried for you today.danfo driver wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 1:26 pm leave the guy. I told him to go and check number of goals in Austria, Germany and CL, rather than doing that, he is posting ratio based on a 8 games.
It is well. You can take a horse to the stream, but na e own responsibility to do more, if it chooses to do so.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
I think Ten Hag would love and try to play his expansive possession football, but when he picks the likes of Bruno and Scott Mctominey to try and dictate things in midfield, then it's a lost battle of possession even against the midtable EPL teams, not to mention quality like City.oloye wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 6:15 pm United need three players, 2 midfielders and another central defender, yes i mean another central defender. I love Martinez but until United can learn to keep possession and deny coming under incessant attacks , their frailty at the back(size wise) would continue to be exploited. At the moment they have only one proper midfielder Ericcson, Bruno is a support striker pretending to be a midfielder, other than being good at pressing and moaning, he is one of the culprits who lack creativity with what to do with the ball or how to dictate the tempo of the game. ETH was the dearth of creativity in his team , so he decided to play Erricsson from the deep , something akin to Modric, but then it takes more than one creative midfielder to play possession football.
I am baffled by one thing though, why is ETH still trying to play the United way? Sit back and then break on the counter, it seems that is the only approach United comes to the games with. The problem here is , if it does not work , they shyte at every other aspect of the game, in fact they become sitting ducks for their opponents, they dont even have to be City, heck Watford did them for 6 easily, Brentford could have done them for 6.
ETH should go get his De Jong or whatever midfielder out there he can get, he should start playing like the Ajax I saw and discard this dated United way tactics, or simply make it one of the options or variables of their game.
In the end it becomes a forced sit back and counter attack, but a very poor one.
Mctom is there to make up for height, he doesn't do well keeping the ball or playing out of pressure.
Many were wondering how things may have gone if Casemiro had started and Bruno was dropped, it would have been something close to a proper midfield 3
The teams who do well against City always pack their midfield, and some of them have midfielders who can actually keep the ball and create decent chances and make City think twice.
Pep must have salivated when he saw the same line up that won but struggled to keep possession against Arsenal.
Another harsh lesson is around the corner if Ten Hag is naive again
