[Opinion Post] Number 10 (self.reddevils)

tocitusMemphis が 投稿

I'm going to be submitting a post a day for each position on the team which should create some discussion until the season begins. These posts are to compare the current options and general discussions surrounding each position. Yesterday was left wing which was posted by the lovely /u/feezbull

All stats for each player are compiled specifically for each position, not their stats as a whole

Player Age Joined Contract Expiry Appearances Goals Assists Points Per Game Goals Per Game Assists Per Game
Memphis Depay 22 2015 2019 (+1) 3 0 0 2.33 0 0
Jesse Lingard 23 YA 2018 4 0 0 2.23 0 0
Adnan Januzaj 21 2011 2018 8 1 1 2.00 0.13 0.13
Ander Herrera 26 2014 2018 18 3 3 1.89 0.17 0.17
Juan Mata 28 2014 2018 45 13 10 1.76 0.29 0.22
Wayne Rooney 30 2004 2019 27 7 6 2.04 0.26 0.22
Henrikh Mkhitaryan 27 2016 2020 (+1) 0 0 0 0 0 0
Andreas Pereira 20 2012 2018 (+1) 3 0 0 2.25 0 0

Possible Talking Points

  • Who is your first choice?

  • Are you happy with the rotation/back-up options available?

  • Any promising youngsters you foresee playing a role for us in the future on that wing?

Tomorrow I'll post the last in the series; striker.

Mata or miki should be first choice but we know it's Rooney, so that ends that... Pereira needs to go on loan and junazaj has to either leave permanently or loan, lingard is a useful member of the squad

I'd like to see Mata play in his preferred position consistently

[–]Marcosbryant10 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Me too but we know he most likely will be on the bench, which is frustrating to see

Not rooney hes so average at 10

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

Where is he not average nowadays?

Mata should be first choice, we don't have a good enough option for RM else I'd prefer Mkhitaryan.

Herrera didn't do a bad job there when given the chance last season, maybe he gets another go. Also, what about Memphis?

I'm curious to see what Mourinho can make of Rooney at the 20. Mostly because we know that is who he is going to play and I'm trying to be positive.

Rooney needs to play really well to lock that position down, I just don't see it happening in all honesty.

Don't think Mou will have the same loyalty towards him as LVG did if he's not performing there, think we could end up seeing Herrera, Mata or Mhki taking the spot from Roo if he doesn't perform well

Would like to see Pereira get a shot there at some point as well, maybe in the cup games or off the bench.

Mata or Miki, but honestly, what's the fucking point in talking about it, we all know the potato that's going to be occupying that spot. How longs he got left on that contract? 2 more years? sigh

I wish we would wouldn't play with a no.10. Was kind of hoping we would transition to a 4-3-3 with the (hopeful) signing of Pogba. Feel like that would be better suited for his style of play.

Looks like this season though we will be going with a 4-2-3-1 so I would say Mata and Herrera would be better suited for the no. 10 because I think their technical ability dribbling and close quarter passing is better.

I'm not satisfied with Rooney being our main man there. I think he lacks creativity and pace, also his decision making has seen better days. I don't think we should buy anyone in that position because there is no one who is available who is a significant upgrade on Rooney, James maybe. I think De Bruyne would be the perfect fit but that seems highly unlikely.

We don't have anyone as reliable as Rooney, but this should definitely be the year we work on getting another strong and creative player for the future. Whether its from the academy or the market. I really like Ander but i need to see him more as a number 10, would also love to see Pereira succeed with us but i still think he's a couple of years from being a starter.
