Our situation in DM. (self.reddevils)

OriArRooney が 投稿

So, how does anyone feel about our situation in DM?

Do you think we should bring in someone there? Do you think Morgan needs to be DM? Maybe Carrick? Maybe some of you hope that BS forces his way to Jose's plans and becomes our primary option there? Or maybe Blind cementing his place there? Or maybe a breakthrough to TFM to become our primary DM by the end of the season?

So, yeah, I'd really like to hear your opinions about this!

I don't think this is Fosu-Mensah's year. Schneiderlin needs to improve, I'm just not convinced by what I've seen at United that he can do the job, Carrick is our best option for now but we'll need to replace him next year regardless and injuries may be an issue. IMO mourinho needs to make sure Schneiderlin improves.

I'm not Fosu has the pass on him yet to play DM full time now.

I think today told us a lot about the lineup. I see it as, DDG | Shaw Smalling Bailly Valencia| Carrick Pogba | Martial Rooney Mhki| Zlatan.

What's crazy is that leaves Mata, Rashford, Memphis (if he plays like today), Fellaini, etc. etc. as backups. We're deep as fuck attacking right now. A little thin on defense though.

I haven't been that impressed by Schneiderlin since he came but there aren't many better DM's than him we can realistically get. We've been linked a lot to Matuidi but he isn't really a DM but rather a box to box CM that's often in the 16 yard box of the opponent, you don't want him as your anchor. If we would bring someone in I would love William Carvalho from Sporting. Just came off a good euros where he ended up on the winning side and he has great impact as a anchor type player, can play the ball and is great at breaking up play, nightmare to play against. Would definitely cost a fair bit, probably in the region of £ 35-40 mill. But after the euros he had but I'd honestly go for it, most quality DM's are in their 30's. William Carvalho is only 24 and is already a top player in his position. Luiz Gustavo and Allan(Napoli) are two great alternatives, both incredible DM's that are very underrated at playing their role, i'd take any. I don't really a think a DM is our biggest need though, if we get Pogba we'll probably have to wait until next year for a DM and we probably want a top class CB if available aswell. If Schneiderlin can get back to his saints form i'll have no problem in having him as our main player in the DM position. He is good enough for the job at his best but if he continues like he has we might have to look for a replacement.

I think Schneiderlin will be a big player for us this season he didn't preform to the level he did for the saints but nowhere near as bad as some make out.

A lot of players didn't preform and were restrictive by the way LVG set up. He is also a lot more mobile than either Blind or Carrick I can see him having a real strong season for, us Jose always seems to get the most out of his DM's.

I think blind gets a bit underrated in this sub. He is very composed on the ball and can set up the attack a lot like carrick can. The only thing that concerned me was his speed, but he's still not really a slow guy and this preseason he seems to be moving quicker. I'd like to see him rotated in to see what happens.

Blind is a great squad player for us but nothing more cant see him starting anywhere in midfield for us or at CB

Classic "I'm just going to repeat what I've read other people say" post. Fact is, despite the odd lapse in concentration last season, he was one of our most consistent performers. He's quality on the ball, positionally solid, and has an eye for the interception. He was in the top 10 highest # of passes completed in the PREMIER LEAGUE last season, #1 for us. Also #1 for number of tackles completed. Clearances? #2. Interceptions? #2. Don't tell me he isn't a quality option at DM, because you'd be wrong.

The classic using stats for midfielders when they don't mean much in order to prove a point. Not only do some of those not mean a lot, some of them mean sweet fuck all.

[–]saravicole 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Pretty sure passing, tackles, and interceptions are important for a DM, but I could be using useless stats to make my point on that one.

[–]Lord_SchelbJose F. Busby 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

indeed, blind has proven he has a very good positioning and can always pick a pass from the back. closest thing we have to carrick.

If you're purely looking at who would be a good option if you're set on signing a new one, Krychowiak would have been ideal I think. He's one of the best defensive midfielders in the game right now, but unfortunately went to PSG.

Alternatively, I'd honestly have a hard time finding a ready made option that would be worth buying as opposed to trying to working with what we have and setting if TFM develops at that spot.

If only Carrick was younger I wouldn't mind having start every week, but I doubt he can hold that long throughout the whole season without any injuries considering his age right now. I've been thinking about this since we've been linked with Fabinho, what if Jose plans to use him as a DM instead of RB? He has played well in that position for Monaco and has played there many times.

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

We need a player like Kante. Infinite stamina, tons of pressure, can break up play, intercepting passes, making tackles.

I feel all of our midfield players lack a defensive skill-set. Schneiderlin is probably the best player we have for DM, but I'd prefer a purely defensive player in the future, our midfield is solid, but it doesn't look that way in the games we play.

[–]OriArRooney[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

The problem with Kante is that I am not sure he is good enough on the ball for a top team, which is why I wasn't that eager on the possibility of signing him.

[–]FraajWaste of money 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

Btw. Schneiderlin had his best form for Soton playing more of a box-to-box midfielder with Wanyama being the DM.

So more than finding his old form he needs to get used to his new role.

i think revalution needs to be made with a new manager

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

People always say this about Morgan but whenever I watched Southampton Morgan always seemed to me the more defensive of him and Wanyama.

[–]FraajWaste of money 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Because Wanyama tends to go forward with a ball a lot while not having the best dribbling, he's just really irresponsible on the pitch and Morgan had to fill the gap really often.

Also one of the reasons why is Wanyama getting carded so often.

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

carrick needs to play

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

No question we should try to bring someone else in. Morgan is the main option at the moment and he's hardly convinced so far. Even at Southampton he wasn't a full fledged destroyer.

Definitely should try and see who's available.
