Thirteen defensive partners for Kompany and counting then.. In your opinion why would Hummels garuntee us missing the title? Do you seriously not rate him?
Odd signing, fixed nowOdd post.
At times he had nobody, but still won the ball or held up the player, until they got back.
Barry by the way, had far better defenders around him, than we have now, but still got left for dead in europe.
I'm here to help :-)Odd signing, fixed now
He did mate, no argument there. But look at the teams we played and groups we were in compared to the ones Fernandinho has been up against.
I will not belittle Lescott contribution to us as he played a key part. Bobby had that team set up perfectly, power pace and the sublime genius of Yaya and Silva. The balance was perfect and that was down to the sum rather than the individual parts.
Good job we managed to sign Bernardo and not the rags. They now have the power and pace. Thankfully they have no sublime genius.
Not tall enough for Utd.
He is a big strong player great on the ball, great in the air & turns like a battleship.
The way we play, we would have to partner him with Usain Bolt, just to get a draw. Jonny Evans is like The Flash compared to him.
They're signing Peter Crouch?And that will be their downfall. They are too robotic.
Surely having Mendy and Walker and or Danilo and Sane and Sterling with the ability of the rest of the team to move the ball around so fast his defensive ability would be the rock the creative freedom is built upon. I guess we just have different priorities for what a central defender should be and as you clearly state his great attributes I dont see how his great ability on the ball and ability to win headers wouldnt benefit our counter attacking or more general attacking style.
And that will be their downfall. They are too robotic.
