Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

1. They play narrow.
2. Yaya is the best CM in football. He can man a 2-man midfield with great success.
3. City's 4-4-2 isn't predicated on crosses from their wingers the way United's is.
4. Their FB's are better than United's and contribute a lot more in the attack. City gets their crosses in from their FB's and they're capable of producing their own shots, sans Clichy.

So out of those 4 points only one maybe two has to do with old fashioned tactics, it simply comes down to Man U having bad players.

Why are we deriding Moyes again? Because he took the Man U job and fielded an 11 that consisted of Man U players that were there before him?

I never claimed or asserted to City playing old-fashioned, regardless of their formation. I don't even know why you brought them up in the first place because no one was talking about them.

yaya and fernandinho aren't traditonal CMs, of our wide players only Navas plays as a traditional winger. Pelligrini isn't doing anything ground breaking, but it's alot better than what Moyes is doing.

Mata stuck out wide? Fact is his players call for a different formation, and maybe he has to sit Rooney on the bench. No excuse having Stoke look like a cheap version of Bayern.

 

[Ukbrotha]

yup

Its actually from the 1st leg of the League cup match against Sunderland we lost 2-1.

 

[Mané Swagincha]

I'm also ready to get rid of Rooney. He hampers the progress of the club, both financially and tactically. I don't care how good he is. He doesn't fit within the team and the current crop of players.

But as usual, he'll get what he wants in a brand new 300k a week deal. I never thought a club of United's stature would bend over backwards for a player as much as they do for Rooney.

And if you really think about it, hes completely shyt :mikej:

At what point of the match was this? When stoke scored their second?

Thats what i was asking when Mata was bought b/c he is not a wide player And with Rooney not being sold, spending that money on Mata made no sense. Lets not forget Kagawa is still there too.

moyes is simply not good enough

doesnt have the tactical mind to be in charge of a big club. playing mata out wide has confirmed that if it wasnt before.

look at zaha having fun at cardiff, hes better than valencia but was never given a chance

just fukk off moyes please

Blows my mind that there are some fans over at the Caf still willing to give this guy a chance.

 

[OneManGang]

Rooney is still a very good player. Like others have said, Moyes just isn't being creative enough. Managers would kill to have 3 players like Mata, Rooney, and RVP in their side.

 

[OneManGang]

Also, from what I remember, Mata was routinely played on the outsides at Valencia. He can do a job there. Personnel wise ManU isn't a 7th, 8th place squad. Moyes needs to try new things, which up to now he hasn't shown the balls to do.

i've known quite a few thick korean girls in my day. not always with the cutest faces tho, but definitely swollen

also re: your learning french question: 1) why didnt you ask me, @Hollister or @KOTK who actually teach a foreign language
2) re-enroll in the classes, practice outside of class with any french speaker (via internet or in person), and go to a francophone country tout de suite
3) be patient and enjoy it and you'll be speaking well before you even realize
