Spot on. I've watched AWB plenty of times this season and he's been a donkey going forward. Looks almost like Kante when he's near the box when he's in possesion. Like he's not quite sure what the do with the ball.

Its a perfectly fine trade off for a player to be poor going forward as long as they're world class defensively. It's what Azpi has been for years. 

At the start of the season, yes however in 2020, he has improved his offensive play massively. He is so physically strong and has improved his crossing and link up play going forward. Bar tonight, as far as I remember all his other assists were genuine brilliant crossing from him.

I still do not rate him

if he wins the FA Cup and the Europa league, then we can start to talk

The thing is... that team he is fielding cost an absolute fortune but nobody is demanding trophies from him. Why?

Is Ole finally at the wheel?

Theyve turned a corner from where they were a while back.. if they could turn back that way it would be lovely but seemed to got a run and things suddenly going. If last who knows..but easy on paper anyway run

I dont think we will win big with our current strikeforce. From the chances created we could have scored 100 goals or more this season. I hope it will change with Werner. Maybe it is the tempo but even good finishers like Batshit turn to j-league players as soon as they get presented by a chance in our setup.

Comparing Batshuayi to J-League is an insult to the J-League, TBH.

It's not just about crossing though it's about genuine link up and all round attacking play. Could AWB be an attacking gamechanger the way Reece was vs Ajax or even Lamptey vs Arsenal? Could he create such attacking chemistry with a winger like Reece does with CHO? I just can't imagine it.

This United team looks solid. Their offense has so much speed, power and creativity. Also their defense looked solid today.

This United team will be a pain in the ass. I hope that they do not sell Pogba because if they can sell him for 100 mio., they will improve their team even more.

Do not forget that Ole made Rashford into a monster. I do not know how Mou could fuck Rashfords talent that much up. Also, Ole realised Martial is a CF. Mou never really understood that

Ole did not turn Rashford into a monster, the lad already was a huge talent and had many great games before Ole

is Ole a better manager of him than Mou?

probably, but Mou is shit with attackers for ages,, so that is a low bar

Genuinely, yes. His all round attacking play has really improved. He is such an engine as well. I was always critical of his offensive play but it has improved massively. If Sancho goes there his attacking play will improve even more. Greenwood too helps him because his ability to cut inside allows room for AWB to bomb down the right hand side.

One thing is for sure, with the progress ourselves and United are making under our managers and with the buys (and prospective buys) we're making, there's surely no way Liverpool will have it as easy next season. It should be extremely competitive at the top of the table.

Both Chelsea and United are only 2-3 more players away from mounting a challenge to Liverpool and City. And honestly, Liverpool are going to need to reinforce their attack because they can't just assume Salah and Mané are going to luck out and not get injured for a whole season again. As dominant as they've been they're a lot more vulnerable than people care to admit. An extended injury to Mané, Salah, or VVD and they aren't nearly as strong.

Are you talking about the same team who has no clue how to break deep block for half a season before signing a 26 year old ready attacking mid to solve the problem.
