I don’t mean not cheating fouls etc etc, I mean as a person going about his job on the pitch……it’s never those players who get all the love and that’s a shame imho because football lads will know exactly what I mean when I say they are worth their weight in gold. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weren't the hammers interested in him wilf wouldn't be a bad signing to be honest I get were newkid is coming from but is mount or casimerio having a greater influence on games than mctominay does 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mainoo, Garnacho, Amad etc are the future, McTominay has been a great honest player for the club, but he isn't good enough to command the midfield in any of the top teams. Arsenal = Rice/Odegard City = De Bruyne/Rodri Liverpool = Macalister/szobizlai (spelling) UTD need to sign a "proper" midfielder to challenge for top 4, let alone the league... Someone to bring Mainoo on, steady everything, control a game... casimero isn't that man, Bruno is a fantastic, but he's not a midfielder, he's a number 10 in desperate need of a striker to play off (hopefully Hoijland is back soon). My choice would be De Jong, we watched Barcelona live last year, and he was the best player on the pitch for me, controlled everything, the tempo, his long and short passing was great, very mobile...a proper CM.. No disrespect to West Ham or anyone else, but McTominay wouldve been a perfect fit for them he is a very good premier league player, but he's not going to win you the league, UTD should be at least challenging, where as West Ham don't expect to be... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackmag 6,019 Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Good post kev I agree mainoo is a class act especially in tight areas and maybe sign players to play around him that would help him like de Jong but from what i saw players like rashford antony mount cassimero and a few others need shipping out and replacing and is hoijlund prolific enough for a team like utd that need to start competing with the top teams again he works hard like darwin nunez at liverpool but you need that clincal striker and would someone like ivan toney not be worth a gamble Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We're now using Bruno as a false 9 (whatever that is?? Lol) as we haven't got a fit striker...madness...I'd love them to sign Toney and that fella at Napoli who Chelsea are now chasing, he scores goals for fun... go out and make a statement, bring real competition for places...like the days of 4 top class strikers in the club. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have started coaching an adult team this year and I’m using a “false” 9 because the forward they brought in is too fat and slow to stretch defences but he is strong and can hold a ball up and don’t have a bad passing ability, so I’m using no traditional centre forwards at all……I’m using a 6 and 2 x 10s with the 9 at the point with quick wingers, bouncing a pass off the 9 from the 10 and then the 10 is popping it into the pocket behind full backs for the wide over lapping players……puts a slower 9 who still has not a bad ability to score goals in more space around the edge of the 18 with younger, fitter 10s and wingers driving in. Basically, it’s what you use when your 9 is in tatters ! Lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
