Darmian > Varela

This Varela fad amazes me. He's a liability.

It's because he's energetic, young and tries really hard. I really like Herrera but it's the same reason this sub is obsessed with him.

Its hilarious because we pulled of a little coup snapping Darmian up before the bigger clubs were able to get a serious look at him. Varela has been hugely impressive for an academy player breaking through but this obsession is verging on comedic. Darmian would probably walk into almost any PL team right now.

Darmian is 4 years older than Varela. Obviously Darmian is better defensively. I was talking about the offense. For a possession based team, when we play deep in the opponent's half, we need good overlapping runs and crosses at which Varela is better than Darmian.

Varela has stood out, he's not bad going forward, and at the moment creating chances is something we are terrible at so people see him putting lots of effort into it and think thats wonderful. Fine.

Except he gets fucking done time after time defensively. For all the world it's like playing a winger at fullback. To think he's good enough for this level I just don't understand.

He will develop and will draw comparisons with Dani Alves. You see mistakes, I see potential. All I gave was my assessment. I didn't say Darmian is better than Varela right now. But in the future, let's hope not!

If he was 18 I might agree with you.

He's 22, not 32. He's going to get better.

He hasn't got a lot of match experience and is a late bloomer similar to Lingard. But as he gets match experience, he will develop. It is pointless to discuss about him because we have Darmian too right? Its not like we are short on funds and have to sell one. We can have both. :)

I'd disagree individual quality decides matches, Leicester and Spurs have a great team mentality, philosophy and formation, and they're doing pretty well?

[–]cantona99[S] -1ポイント0ポイント  (2子コメント)

Leicester have quality players. Especially Kante and Mahrez. It is baffling how they went under the radar. And their team is on a confidence high at the moment.

Let's say when we face athletico madrid who throw 2 rigid rows of defending. We can't break their bus, we can't cross, we can't do shit. That's when individual quality decides a match.

Let's say when we face athletico madrid Sunderland who throw 2 rigid rows of defending. We can't break their bus, we can't cross, we can't do shit. That's when individual quality decides a match.

Otherwise agree.

Yeah, but still when I saw Barca vs Athletico, it was amazing how they could stay in such a rigid formation for 90 mins. In my opinion not even a Pulis team will have such rigidity against such opposition if required.

The squad isn't in terrible shape long term, but right now it has too many older players, too many players not yet at full potential, and too many square pegs. Once we have a consistent playstyle we should gel as a team, and our younger players will be better for the playing time. Need 1-3 dynamic additions, but we really aren't that far off.

Darmian doesn't offer enough attacking threat-BAD Varela lack defending - GOOD.
