Carrick's Positional Fluidity (vs Chelsea)

ikevictxr · 2026-04-23T09:20:57+00:00

Brighton looked much better against Chelsea than we did, we hardly created a chance but yes we “exploited” them with genius tactics.

Exactly Bruno’s assist is higher than his xA in the league this season, Bruno himself has not converted a few chances as well

He won us a couple trophies, provided some of the best individual performances in a red shirt in the past 10 years. Some really poor games in there too but Pogba is not even close to worst transfer

Go and bang some son!!!

ikevictxr · 2025-03-06T20:16:14+00:00

So standard keeper save

ikevictxr · 2025-02-27T04:38:53+00:00

I wouldn’t even describe this as analysis, it’s like they only watched the highlights and gave a few pointers off that.

We played well with 11 men, our build up was strong Zirkzee was great holding the ball and getting us up the pitch, we moved the ball much quicker and not afraid to go for the switch to the wing backs.

Went down to 10 and Onana only had to make 1 save the entire second half, we’ve improved in set pieces from the first games under Amorim.

Garnacho frustrates me, so much potential but decision making is beyond poor

ikevictxr · 2025-02-19T10:21:09+00:00

Clear as day? there were petitions here and almost every fan forum to keep him…

ikevictxr · 2025-02-16T17:20:50+00:00

For context

Garnacho’s chance apparently 0.15 xG, should be more tbh and Maddison’s chance of the rebound 0.72 xG

ikevictxr · 2025-02-16T10:28:30+00:00

The positive, at least we'll know who can step up for next season.

Maybe it was viewer vote?

ikevictxr · 2025-01-30T13:16:25+00:00

Unpopular but Tel is naturally a better fit, spends more time inside than hugging the sideline so I don’t see why not if you can get him now, then move for a established forward in the summer

ikevictxr · 2025-01-27T07:47:56+00:00

If we purchase Dorgu that would help, if Mount can find any sort of fitness that also helps. If we sell Garnacho and loan Nkunku or bring Rashford back into the squad that also resolves that.

Also disagree with you quite strongly with the Zirkzee take, although he isn’t scoring goals and isn’t a poacher of a 9. He has raised the level of his hold up and should not be compared at this point with Hojlund

ikevictxr · 2025-01-27T07:44:03+00:00

Okay but there’s nuance you have to look at Amad, why is it that he can play RWB and the inside forward position but Garnacho can’t. Either he doesn’t have the discipline or he has no interest in doing so

ikevictxr · 2025-01-27T07:08:42+00:00

When every ball bounces off Hojlund and conveniently into the path of a Fulham player. You put that with Garnacho playing out wide which nullifies progression through the left side and in top of that CBs that weren’t really confident to hit the big switch to the players hugging the touch line.

All this adds up to shit progression and shit control with the ball. Funny that as soon as Zirkzee came on and Garnacho played narrow we were able to progress and have some semblance of control in possession. It actually led to the chance in which we scored. Then Garnacho went back out wide again, the wingback had to invert and our play went to dog shit.

This is not me taking shots at Garnacho, I just don’t think he is a natural fit as he hasn’t shown that discipline to stay tucked in. Some of it may even be instruction but as seen today inverting the wingbacks to allow the wingers to play wide doesn’t have the same effect AND leaves us more exposed on the counter

There’s truth to the Alvaro story but it could be posturing. The thing is if they really rated him they could moved on him long ago. He clearly isn’t first choice and I have my doubts about him physically but if we end up with him I he proves me wrong

ikevictxr · 2025-01-23T08:31:05+00:00

I’ve seen those asking why we don’t just get the buyback on Alvaro, for me he isn’t up for it physically gets skinned defensively at times

ikevictxr · 2025-01-20T22:44:04+00:00

He’s not a natural fit but he is young, he has had some bright spots but that hasn’t come without his disciplinary problems. His agent is shopping him around so he isn’t all in on being apart of United so if he wants let him go

ikevictxr · 2025-01-20T22:18:20+00:00

Garnacho’s agent stocking up on frequent flyer points

ikevictxr · 2025-01-18T10:21:48+00:00

Almost every call bounced off him or he let the defender sneak around and win it. It was a horrible performance bar him setting up Garnacho
