Live Match Discussion: 2020/21

[Freddeno]

Whatever you say, 2-0 Saints

 

[Tony Towner]

His passing is average. Comparisons to Beckham begin and end at the set pieces and stamina. He doesn't have the passing range or ability to find a yard and whip the ball in

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah, Ward-Prowse is a not fantastic but he works very hard within Hassenhutl's system too so he gets by.

He isn't really intelligent enough or have the vision to pass forwards and break lines very often. I wouldn't be surprised if Southgate included him in the squad for the Euros seeing as how important set pieces were at the world cup for England

 

[White Wolf]

Greenwood been dire, rightly hooked.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Greenwood been dire, rightly hooked.

I've sympathy with the lad to be honest.

1) The media coverage of him is becoming increasingly insidious, as it was with Sterling, we all know why
2) He's only just turned 19
3) A club like Manchester United should not be relying on someone like that at this stage

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Make sure you set that bar nice and high

I would have him in the England squad but only as our options are so poor/average in that area.

He's one of those that just does a job, never really going to stand out in any team but I don't think he'd massively let anyone down either. Think he worked well alongside Romeu in times gone by when they had Lallana, Mane, et al ahead of them and he could get by on being the simple link player between them and midfield. Now they don't have such riches going forwards I'm sure they'd like more from him but he is what he is, a solid if unspectacular body in midfield.

If I wanted to try and be edgy I might suggest he doesn't perform a massively different role to Mourinho at Wolves, though you're trading off defensive output for better set pieces.

Bertrand looked absolutely shagged with his Dohertyesque jog back for utds goal

He's been pretty poor for a while, always a good athlete but looks to have gone the same way as Danny Rose.

You're absolutely right about the media coverage, no disagreements there. United have also put way too much pressure on Greenwood unfortunately, the amount of hype leaves him set up to fall.

At the same time considering the result it was the right decision to swap him for Cavani, who has been a far more effective focal point and brought two well-taken goals.

 

[AndyWolves]

Matt Doherty not even on the bench today

 

[Tredman]

Had COVID didn’t he?

 

[YoungWolf]

Yes, played on Thursday though

 

[Tony Towner]

Mourinho has been rotating his full backs all season. None of them play 3 games on the bounce and normally it's every other

 

[AndyWolves]

He played midweek didn't he? Just struck me as odd that he's not on the bench

 

[YoungWolf]

Aurier is first choice at this point I think anyway, he's realised Doc in a back four isn't a good idea.

 

[sycophantia]

Cav redeems himself after his previous penalty with a good un

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well certainly didn’t expect that Fulham result. Nice bonus to see Leicester bin three.

 

[Boozad]

Could do with Wham and Vile drawing really. Can see a Wham win on the cards though.

 

[Jack Regan]

West Ham in front, free header for Ogbonna.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Absolute toss from Villa at the back.
