Bit lazy as his brother plays here and he follows us on socials.

I remember, last season, Carragher said Lisandro Martinez was too small to be a premier league CB...

Cannavaro was 5"9 and he was an elite centre back. Not often beaten in the air.

Plenty will disagree judging by the online discourse but he's an average defender who puts a foot in when he doesn't need to. I don't know why he's not playing at cdm for Utd, makes sense and hasn't he got previous?

 

Geniunely don't see a difference between him and a player like Gary Medel, they should try it.

Oh, come on: he's a much better player than Medel. 

 

He did play as a 6 at Ajax on occasion. 

 

And, in the Man Utd build-up phase he occupies the 6 position, too, now that Onana has been signed. 

 

Did you not make a point about fluidity in formations a couple of days ago? And now you're criticising a player for not playing the correct position?

Aye that's fair.

Alex Lowry starting in Norway for Hearts, can't see how this loan won't do him wonders. Best of luck to the boy.

I've been reading that Real Madrid are using the 4-4-2 diamond this season. Ancelotti going back to his roots. 

 

I would really like us to lean into this formation: stop trying to shoehorn all these forwards in, and just play with two, and get Cantwell into the #10 position where he's best. We have a potential attacking threat from Raskin and Cifuentes, too, with Hagi and Dowell as back-up. 

 

I think it should be Danilo and Lammers, with Dessers and Sima as the back-ups.

Any idea how he did?

Why do that when you can just get the ball out to Barisic and Tav, cross it to one guy in the box v 5 defenders, then bring on Scott Wright when it surprisingly doesn't work.
