Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - New season, same old United

[SmarkMero]

Even Aguero felt bad for Kepa after his penalty

Nah he was like "Sarri gon' give you that work!"

 

[Roid Jones]

i've only seen lebron get away with waving off a coach whose subbing him out

I don't like even LeBron doing that but he has the status and accolades to do it but Kepa :really1:

Sarri has to go. His obsession for Jorginho and refusal to bench Pedro. I'm not going to say you can't play a Regista in English football (see Michael Carrick), but man the guy is stubborn

I understand chelsea's trend of sabatoging managers for not winning every year but sarri has got to go on GP. He plays kante out of position and has this fukking weird old man love obsession for Jorginho.

Went on wiki and someone put on kepa's page "Playing Position - Player manager"

Some killjoy has since changed it though

In this system, it calls for a regista do really think Kante can play there? and Kante ain't even playing that bad in an advanced position

While Kante is the best DM in the world, when has he played in the middle of a 3 for more than 2 games? Leicester he was alongside Drinkwater, then with Chelsea he played next to one of Matic/Cesc/Baka. And then in the WC, he was alongside Pogba, where he screened when France attacked. In a 3, his game is more suited to being one of the side midfielders.

If Kante had Fernandinho level passing then yeah he should be playing at the base of the 3, but he doesn't.

Thank you, it's like dudes keep parroting tired narratives, I'm convinced they don't watch football or have never actually watched Kante at all

You can, you just got to know that you have to release the ball quicker and move a lot more than in Italy.

In order to do that you'd have to have two great box to box mildfielder and the fullback giving him the options.
