Not if they have to mark Fellaini at a corner they won't. Otherwise Angelino would walk into this team.

Pep has mixed technical ability & smaller tricky players, with pace, strength & physical size elsewhere which is why we are so good.

But we never got caught out from any set piece. We got caught out by a player switching off and not having the pace or gumption to recover.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

He's barely played there.

The best footbsll we played all night, was him taking about 5 players out with a forward run.

I'm not having a go at him, just explaining why he's not Fernandihno.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Yes he was.

So he's a fullback.

When have you seen him in midfield ?

About 65% of every game he plays at LB!

Do you watch the games, or just look at the supposed formation and that’s it?!

Sat in a bar outside the ground trying to think when we last lost on penalties, anybody know?

Think it was against Blackpool roughly 20 years ago

Blackpool?

Doncaster I think

Tonight yes.

Try playing Zinchenko & Garcia v Spurs & see how we get on.

We got done last week by Luiz & Everton scored with a shit header because the big guy got on Delph.

Find me ANYONE else who is?! That’s an awfully high bar.

Thought Stones looked so uncomfortable, his control looked worse as there is less time on the ball. It was a case of just about controling the ball and getting rid of it (backwards) safely more often than not. Gundogan was his usual self, looked ok.

Funny how people see different things

I thought he looked totally comfortable there and hardly gave the ball away all night

I must admit I laughed in a WTF way when Raheem skyed his penalty.

The worst thing about this is we could face two big games against a big London club who will be well up for getting to a final. Hoping for Burton in the draw.

YGBSM.

Nope. Diaz is just a kid, was a bit greedy at times, he's still learning his position.

Stones looked like a fish out of water. Because he was, great CD though and worth a look at him there, just didn't work. I'd have rather seen Gomez but it would have been too many youth players IMO.

 

[Neville Kneville]

I know.

I'm just saying it would be pretty amazing if he was world class after two games.

He's already showing more potential for midfield than a Dier or Henderson imo.
