Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Because you only notice good players when they have a contest, with your team most others just walk through your midfield and the defence stops them. Going the other way your defence passes out to the FBs or goes over the top to the attackers mostly by-passing the mid field.
It's no surprise you don't know who plays in other teams midfield when the ball never gets contested there.

 

Don't forget £50m Fred............

 

I see. Well done. Hush now lad

 

Playing very well and getting better each game. How much was that Naby fella?

 

Watch some games, it's not rocket surgery

 

Oh yes fred. 50 million pound fred.

In that case yes, emre would easily walk into their midfield.

 

All that effort too

 

Gotta be honest, Can had a couple of decent games for Germany as emergency RB

 

About the same price but in a different league, Naby is a European and world champion and soon to be PL winner

 

Yeh but has he been an actual part of that. Not much.

 

And all without playing, great stuff





Sounds like Pogba without the World cup, great when he is injured

 

Next game is his 50th appearance....

 

Says the man who thinks we have no midfield.

 

Lolz thats truly amazing, i genuinely cannot remember him being fit for more than 4 games in a row.

Soz but hes a big let down for me so far. The lad can play no doubt about it. But never ****ing plays.
I was hoping we'd think about moving him on soon if his injuries dont improve substantially.

 

I imagine a high proportion of them have been substitute appearances, 10 -20 minutes here and there - though I can't be bothered trying to find out.
He clearly has talent, but you can't build a solid tactical structure to include a player who is out so often. Unless he gets himself fully fit and is available consistently he'll always be a peripheral figure.

 

So then I thought sod it, and I did look it up. He's played a lot more minutes than I thought, tbh. Which just makes it all the more surprising that he hasn't had more of an impact.

 

6 goals in there and no doubt some assists.

 

disappointing.

 

I'm sure he will have a couple of times at least but can't recall Naby playing the full ninety minutes

 

They’ve conceded 15 goals and scored 60 in 25 games which is more impressive considering they’re effectively an eight man team. Incredible really.

Fabinho not getting into the first XI but they don’t have a midfield. Brilliant.
