Do you think Memphis can play RW? (self.reddevils)

WaaaltyMemphis が 投稿

I've seen alot of talk about the need for us to sign a right winger. Ronaldo as I remember in his peak Manchester United career played predominantly on the RW because of Giggs and Nani on the left side. He still managed to work it well and got plenty of assists over goals.

Memphis as we know has got great skill, pace and physicalness and could provide a job on the right, especially due to his great ability to whip the ball in with accuracy and pace. Also with him being a young play can adapt and mould his style of play to suit the teams need.

Thoughts?

I think he has the skills to, just a question as to whether he adapts mentally. I actually didn't think Martial looked that bad on the right, though he was pretty dominant on the left. Either way, if Zlatan joins, he would have to to get on the field.

I get downvoted to hell every time I say that Martial played pretty well when put on the right. Although I obviously prefer him on the left. If he has to play on the right he can do it, and do it well.

Martial's not terrible on the right, but he's not so comfortable on his left foot.. Playing him on the right will eliminate his threat as a goalscorer mostly, & affect his development as a player. In short, he can do it but that will be a waste of his talents.

Why play pretty well on the right when you can be unplayable on the left?

[–]HollowAtso 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's basically when at this point for Zlatan. He wants to continue at a high level, and we are basically the next big club he can go to, with the added factor of Mourinho.

[–]HaschlolMartial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

If the club is interested in him he would be crazy not to sign for us.

Not really, it doesn't suit his playstyle, he's all about crossing from deep and taking lots of shots

Why does that stop him doing it from the right? It allows him to cross even deeper and can still take shots, but not cutting inside.

[–]Launch_a_poo 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

His specialty is in inswinging crosses and he can't cut in and shoot with his right which is a large part of his game too.

It's not impossible for him to play there but he'd have to play a different game

At PSV he played on either side on a target man. Most often from the left, but was still effective on the right. Little dinks and give-n-goes were very common (even into preseason his connection with Rooney on the American tour was so hope-filled); and at the end of the day Memphis is a confidence player who lost some of that. Be that through the staff or his performances I don't know, but it most definitely can be turned around.

Slow build up play and the predictability of Memphis coming back inside is part of what hindered his game this past season. That's on both the player and the tactics. Playing the ball in behind or up to Zlatan and letting the wide men break will be a breathe of fresh air and, IMO, unleash Memphis.

Martial deserves a run at CF, too. So there will be times when Memphis can come back on the right. But I firmly believe if anyone can turn Memphis' sophomore season with us, it's the man-management of Jose.

Definitely, Mourinho would find the way to fit Memphis in the squad, either right side, or left because Martial needs some rest or using both of them together switching sides during the game. Mourinho needs fast creative wingers, right now we have Martial,Memphis,Lingard I reckon Jose gonna sell Mata and Young and replace them with a more experienced and talented player,hopefully Griezmann. We also have Januzaj and Pereira but they are not ready yet for the first team.

[–]BlueArtisteShaw 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

Griezmann, more experienced than Young and Mata? Not necessarily more talented too.

[–]SmokognitoPark Ji-Sung 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Lay off the crackpipe mate.

[–]thecricketnerdYoung 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

He's right about the experience part though.

[–]ManUChao7Memphis 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I meant more experience than Martial,Memphis,Rashford,Lingard not Mata. Young only played few games in our attack this season.

[–]ManUChao7Memphis 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

More talented than Lingard precisely and more experienced than Memphis,Martial,Lingard and Rashford. Our attack last season were these kids together with Mata and Rooney that's why we need some more experience with Zlatan and probably a new attacking midfielder. Young didn't play this season and he is also a LW and imo nowhere near Griezmann class. Griezmann is one of the top scorers in La Liga the last three years and this season he was world class with the likes of Neymar,Muller,Di Maria. As for Mata he is class and has won everything in his career, but let's be real he doesn't fit Mourinho tactics and it's better for him and the club to move on.

[–]MylesVEGiggs 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

With Zlatan we have height in the box with the added touch of class, something we've lacked in recent years (Fellaini did a job, but there's a supreme difference in he and Zlatan's ability on scoring from crosses). Memphis, despite the criticisms, has a great right foot on him, and played with a very similar styled target man at PSV in de Jong. I think It would be a good option most definitely.

[–]czervick212Rooney 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Absolutely. Wicked cross on that right foot and the moves and win out over there. I see him as our willian to be

[–]IwanJones10Martial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

If he was trained to whip in a ball with his right foot on the right (think like Pogba's assist for Giroud vs Cameroon) then he should play there.

[–]Renevat 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

He broke through at PSV on the right but he cemented himself in the team when he moved to the left. I actually think taking him out of his comfort zone and sticking him on the right at the start of the season might cause him to think more and force him to cross the ball (which he's very good at) instead of him doing that thing where he just stops on the ball and does a fake pass before trying to cut inside.

[–]Melanjoly 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

He has not shown any indication so far that he is good enough to be a starting winger for Manchester United. Harsh truth.

[–]RicciRox 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Of course. Can Robben play on the left. Yeah. Would you play him there? No

[–]mink_manMourinho -5ポイント-4ポイント  (7子コメント)

You know a player is poor when you start asking can he play other positions. "Can Memphis play ST?" "Can Memphis play CAM?"

Just face the facts, he hasn't been good enough the last year and he either pulls his finger out and starts performing on the left or he will be shipped off.

TBH I don't see a future for him but I hope I'm wrong.

[–]WaaaltyMemphis[S] 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

That's hugely negative. Most of the best players in the world have changed posititons in their career.

Messi started out as a right winger and then moved to striker and then back to right wing, to compliment his team.

Ronaldo has played on the left, middle and right, to compliment his abilities.

Bale has played LEFT BACK, left wing and now right wing at madrid, to compliment his abilities and his team.

Muller played right winger, striker, CF and center midfield, to compliment his team.

[–]SonnyisKing 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

He is literally one of the worst players I've ever seen in a United shirt. I mean how the fuck can anyone see any future for a winger who fails to beat even the most average fullbacks?

[–]Yo_where_r_my_ticket -3ポイント-2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Everyone on here has such a boner for Memphis. He's produced nothing and has a shit attitude. Outside of a tinpot league in Holland what has he done? Certainly doesn't look international standard.

[–]mink_manMourinho -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah exactly. He's not got the mentality to play for Utd.

I'm not sure what he's done to have everyone fawning over him. And none of this "what's wrong with supporting our players". Adnan has been shat on by most people despite the fact he's produced more in his PL career than Memphis.

[–]StannisJrScholesy 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

He can't even do much in his best position, I have little hope of him performing out of position. There is no point shoehorning in a player who can't perform.

[–]SonnyisKing 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nah he will turn into a world class player during pre season just watch. Apparently Ronaldo was bad during his first season so that means memphis will turn into a world class player soon or something like that.

[–]MadaraTheUchihaI wanna be the very BEST -2ポイント-1ポイント  (3子コメント)

Playing him at RW would waste his best attribute (though he hasn't been able to show it a lot this season) him cutting in and shooting from range. I think we need a left-footer for the RW.

[–]AngryUncleTonyShaw 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

It depends, if Zlatan is a target in the middle, getting decent service from the wing might be just as important as cutting in and shooting.

[–]WaaaltyMemphis[S] 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

The problem I have with having a left footer on the right aswell as having a right footer on the left is that we won't have much wide play. It will be mostly cutting inside and providing help for the striker. Next season we all think it is going to be Ibrahimovic up top and yes, all strikers need support but Martial cutting inside to help Ibrahimovic would be plenty, we need a proper winger who can whip in a ball with pace and accuracy. That is why I think Memphis can do a job there.

[–]LanceM111Rooney 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

The "inverted winger" strategy is a big part of what hurt our attack with LVG. Put Memphis on the right.
