Which player is actually our DM? (self.reddevils)

ireallyamsomethingRooney が 投稿

Whenever formations and positions are discussed I often see confusion regarding the DM position.

I have read something like: Pogba is not actually a DM, weak defensively, more of a box to box CM.

Herrera is too reckless, can't tackle.

Schneiderlin was poor last season because he played a more box to box role in Southampton.

Carrick controls the game with his precise passing, not a good tackler.

Schweinsteiger is a midfield general or whatever, controls the tempo, you can't really call him a DM.

Blind is an option but he struggled at times, especially against faster, better opposition.

So who exactly is our DM, if indeed such a position is pivotal to how our team shapes up?

Which is why I wouldn't be surprised if we brought in a new one. We were linked to Matic a while back by Di Marzio so Mourinho might want another DM option and I'd agree with him. Morgan is the main option we have right now and I wouldn't be surprised at all if Mourinho wanted someone better.

Carrick is a dm like how Busquets is a dm. He reads the game and position himself wisely for interceptions, and imo he's pretty good at tackling. Good enough to be considered for CB when injuries hit.

Schneiderlin is a dm as well, a more conventional one that chases after the ball and wins it for you. He wasn't really that bad last season, pretty average for me. Hopefully he improves.

Blind is like a hybrid of these two, reads the game well and tackles decently. Sort of a jack of both trades but master of none

I really don't think we need a new one. Give Schneiderlin a go under Mou, rotating him with Carrick and even TFM (who I want to be our DM going forward).

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a Busquets, but I really don't know which DM we'd be able to get that is a massive upgrade. Matic had an awful season last year, and for everyone that argues you need more than one season to judge, then use that logic on Schneiderlin.

I think there's a very good chance we will buy one.

If Pogba plays in a midfield two he needs a really workhorse to carry him because he doesn't do much defensively.

Carrick, Schweinsteiger, Fellaini, Herrera, Blind can't run enough and/or can't defend well enough to do that.

That only leaves Schneiderlin as a viable partner to Pogba who was A) very average last season and not exactly a world beater in general and B) The rumours suggests isn't particularly rated by Jose.

I think there's a very good chance we buy a destroyer in. Jose has played with a pure destroyer in almost every club he's ever been at. The only exception really was Madrid and he still played Ramos or Pepe there at times and his box to box player was Khedira, a far more defensively sound player than Pogba.

In all his other jobs he had a player like Costinha, Makelele, Cambiasso, Matic who was playing a pure destroyer role. It's a role he really likes and given he's just signed an 8 who really needs to play with a destroyer to be effective all the signs point to us signing one.
