I still can't see it.. I'm of the opinion we could sign messi , Ronaldo whoever and LVG would stifle them and turn them into defensive holding midfielders.
Fckin hell, Joey Barton as pundit on MOTD. This programme is dying a death. Just fcking show the highlights and give the punditry as miss
Pretty sure he said "could"... no one is assuming we definitely would have won, but would take an idiot to suggest that we stood a worse chance of winning with him in the team
My main worry for the game today, Anita for Newcastle. The bloke has some messed up posture, his spine must be ****ed up
And if we had Sturridge from the start when Newcastle weren't dropping as deep you don't think he'd have been more of a threat than Benteke who we gave no service to anyway?
Who knows? It was the lack of creativity that was the issue not the striker. Lallana came on with Sturidge and he was the one who provided you with some invention in the final third
True, but the same invention Sturridge needed isn't the same as what Benteke needs. Unfortunately when we have Benteke we still tried to play as if we had Sturridge up top... and it failed. Not Benteke's fault, he's not fitting that system and it was an issue... but had we started with Sturridge then we would have had a far better chance given he fits the style we play and his goal scoring record over the last 3 years..
Klopp pivked him for a reason though. What you type do you not think Klopp knew this? Not being funny, he picked Benttekers fora reason and im happy toleavehim with it and make these calls I havefull faith in just leaving it tohim. Even if we lost the next 5 games we're in really good hands. Or maybe he should call you before seleceting his team
De Boer, Simeone, Joachim Low, Giggs, Guardiola Unai Emery is one I like a lot and tactically would be ideal for United. Pacy wingers, plays either a 4-2-3-1 yet often plays 2 up front. But the fanboy inside me thinks he may not be able to live up to managing the club.
I do, I said before that without Coutinho we had to at least start with Sturridge or Newcastle wouldn't be as scared of us....
He picked him fair enough, but if you do that you then can't play the same style you would if you had Sturridge up top. Play benteke without Lallana/Coutinho then use his strengths, don't keep trying to play infront of the defence slowly.... Need to get in dangerous positions and feed Benteke in the box.
Yep, it's a learning curve for Klopp too. We may as well all close our Not606 accounts and not bother then
