They are shite, I didn't want them too win last night obviously but if they were going to win like they did do I'd rather they of just done it in normal time than extra time because they let my bet down.

Same, purely because it would have given me half an hour to watch something else.

We are still playing the double pivot, but we just adjusted and tweaked it more this season.

The previous double pivot was more static, with Gundogan + Rodri. This season we play more into Gundo's excellence going forward, so Cancelo comes in when Gundo moves forward, to form double pivot with Rodri.


On paper & how we normally look last season:

----LW---Striker----RW---
-------------AM--------------
-----Gundo-----Rodri------
LB----CB------CB-----Cancelo


This season when we are in possession:

----LW---Striker---RW---
-----Gundo-------AM-------
-------Rodri---Cancelo------
----LB--------CB----------CB----

A 4-2-3-1 into a 3-4-3. Movement is dictated by who is playing on the day, but this is the general gist of it.

Sometimes the attacking midfield gets to push higher up, so we get a 3-3-4.

This setup lets us match man-for-man against most defenses so we don't lose the edge in attack, and subsequently allows us to retain numbers in midfield, something Pep loves. Retaining the double pivot even as we are on the attack, also protects the team from counter-attacks.

Great analysis.

They're playing that Diallo kid tonight against West Ham. You know, the £35M kid, that grew up in Salford and came through their academy...

Bit early for all that, but they must be confident.

The same one who’s now changed his name on his shirt to Amad because he can’t choose which surname is going to cause more trouble for his new employers, he arrived in Italy on false papers, his brother that he arrived with (another decent player) may not be his brother, and his age is also being questioned, Daily Fail & others trying to smooth the story through, you can only imagine the response if we did such a thing....I’m looking forward to how this pans out to be honest, hopefully he turns out to be another one of George Weah’s cousins similar to the fella who rocked up at Southampton:)
 
all the shite with Penandez, imagine he has equal POTM wins as Frank Lampard aquired in his entire premier league career.....all in one year?

Shameless pricks, I hope its the only thing those fuckers from the swamp see. Joke of a club desperately propped up because they are Soooooooooo shit.
 
Ha!

Not being funny, but most of the bookies are 20-1 on United winning the PL. Some even more.

That's still a decent punt before this weekends fixtures and our run of hard games coming up. United have a run of easy games coming up before they start their run of hard games. The derby could be the title decider.
