[Discussion] Can Blind replace Carrick? (self.reddevils)

Aloeverakcm が 投稿

Can Blind replace Carrick? From the comments in the past few weeks, majority agreed that Blind is definitely not a natural CB, hence mistakes to a few of the goals.

With Carrick (close to retiring), can blind fill up the deep defensive playmaker role?

IMO, I might be wrong, Fellaini is taking up that role now. Yes, granted Fellaini is pretty okay defensively, but I think he lacks discipline (starts elbowing when we are losing) and vision for counter attacking build up.

Thoughts?

I think Blind got the same ability as Carrick when it comes to play the ball through the lines of the opponent. This is something we desperately need at the moment, and I think both of them is capable of doing just that.

Thats what I thought too. But why didnt LVG nor Mou play him there .

LvG did play him as a CDM in his first season. In terms of last season he was our second best CB so he was needed more in the central defence than in midfield.

LVG did play him there and he was awful. Opposition players strolled past him all game long and he struggled to do much passing wise when pressed in midfield

I got downvoted to hell for proposing that a few days ago. I still think it's a brillant idea.

I've always seen Blind as a perfect defensive play maker. Somewhat like what Cesc was played in Chelsea under Mou. Also, cesc's defensive work is never near what Blind has. So I dont really get why Fellaini is picked over Blind.

IMO, it's nice to have another player in the team who has vision, instead of relaying it all on Pogba. He is choked every game. Whenever Pogba gets the ball, you see 2-3 players press him immediately.

Sorry for my English.

Fabregas is a miles better passer of the ball than Blind.

Blind played defensive midfield under LVG and was crap there, he is a long long way from perfect

I remember Blind's first game for us. He started at CDM and we trashed QPR 4-0. (it was the last time we scored 4+ goal difference in PL btw) and it was looking good. Unfortunately in his second game as a CDM we got humiliated by Leicester. And after that we never really saw Blind in that position ever again. But I think we should give him another shot there. Especially considering that in the 5-3 Leicester game, we had a diamond formation with midfield of (apart from Blind) Di Maria, Herrera, Rooney. Not exactly a defensive masterminds.

He wasn't very good when pressed in the first season playing midfield. Will need to have more games there to have a more accurate evaluation.

I've been saying it for a while: Blind's skillset is best for the CDM role.

The same people who say Blind is too slow for the CDM role want Carrick, but Carrick isn't exactly Gareth Bale.

Blind should play behind Pogba and Fellaini/Schneiderlin/TFM.

We have great depth in CM, which is why I see how Mou was able to put Schweinsteiger aside.
