He's out of his natural element as the first man off the bench. Arteta needs to stop these megamind tactics.

These last two games he’s been so ***, I mean he’s not the only one tho.

Gabriel Jesus it’s time to learn Spanish or Italian
Sterling it’s time to learn west ham

This type of game is why I was worried when smith Rowe and vieira both left with no replacement

Naweri is the answer, he should be starting but Arteta doesn’t see it that way.

Been keeping an eye on dude, he’s been on fire. Great form

What’s wild is I’m not sure mbappe wouldn’t be as effective as Vini is. It’s just vini is in his spot.

Maybe Mbappe grows into the central role…if not, will he ever be at his best?

He’s played centrally a lot though. I think with a different profile from the right side would really help him out. Vini and Rodrygo are both downhill wingers that don’t combine too much. Doesn't really help mbappe. Vini can play that through ball to him but Rodrygo can’t.

 

[Armada]

I can’t believe our season isn’t over we really about to get that wildcard spot

Saka
Odegaard
Timber
Ben white
Calafiori

All Injured
Tomiyasu doesn’t even exist at this point

Liverpool game could get weird
If they lose that then the title charge could be over already

Yea, that’s what I meant. It’s a different type of central role. But like you said, it doesn’t help him.

Mbappe or RM in general need somebody like Di Maria again...who is a Playmaker first, Scorer second
Or you just get Haaland and let Mbappe play instead of Rodrygo.

 

[jape]

just get haaland

I'm a RM fan since 2003 - I'm writing this with confidence

That’s what makes it so funny

 

[Coupé It]

Mbappe really needs to leave RM.

He’s officially on the clock..

 

[12:34]

Vini Jr had one of those match performances that’ll be talked about for years. What a baller

 

[Coupé It]

Mbappe just doesn’t look right in a RM uniform either.

It looks so weird.

It looks so weird.

Because it should be blue, purple, red, or orange. No turtle runs around in a white outfit.

wait what?

 

[rolaholic]

What his style?

Possession based style so he's inspired by Pep of course , but he also calls Nagelsmann and RDZ his tactical influences.

Interesting thing is that he was at RB as a youth couch under Ragnick when he began so he tries to blend Pep influence and control with what they like to call 'controlled chaos' at RBL wwhichis basically high intensity and quick transition footy.

TThere's good piece I came across a few weeks back that makes a decent on-pitch case for him at United that really goes into detail and breaks down his philosophy and how it could mesh at OT.

Him and Amorim would be the sort of gambles I wouldn't mind if the more established options aren't possible. Even starting to rate Bournemouths manager a lot , it's really not like there's no good managers out there at all.

Well damn

[worldbeefreeg]

Well damn

Someone in here thinks saying the physicality of the prem is different from other leagues is some fictitious idea though

In terms of next United coach, I think I'd prefer a coach who is already in the Prem. Would be happy with Iraola, Silva or Frank to be honest. Think all of them are good tactical coaches who know the league already and would do a fine job.
