I hope Telles will get more game time this year, I like his crossing better than Shaw’s.

Shaw's really good at drilling in low crosses at pace. This has always been at case even when he was at Soton.

People think if you're crossing they need to have flight and a target man in the box. Citeh and Liverpool have shown you don't need that it's all about the movement of your attackers. If your attackers not flooding or moving in the box then your wasting the cross.

It makes sense. It's how the likes of Leicester and Atalanta have managed to break in and disrupt the historical big teams in England and Italy. The problem rises when you take it too far like Monaco did when your turning over too many players season in season out.

....he set up the first goal. :dwillhuh:

What I've noticed is that he seems to disappear when he has to play centre/CAM. Now this could be Harold space invading when he drops deeper but then I would expect him to go beyond Harold like a Dele or JLingz would in that position.

When he can play wider either as a side CM/AM/W he's much more involved in things. And is more of a threat in the half spaces.

I mean, we're also ignoring him pinging crosses on to Cavani's head at the end of last season.

He got an assist on the free kick to Maguire ffs:mjlol:

Leave them be bro, he's English so he's on the list. Literally been the best LB in the world in recent months but you'll get lads in here saying he's been shyt.:mjgrin:

Didn't even mention how he broke his ribs at the Euros and came in to this season with the injury.:wow:


But aye lads, lets get Telles in, who literally hasn't played one good game in a United shirt.:skip:

That's exact what it is. He refuses to play like a striker for large parts of games and that impacts everybody else.

Half space Mount is elite. One of the very best at receiving the ball on the half-turn. His assists and goals should go up another level at club level with Lukaku as the focal point.
