It was 3 corners... (self.reddevils)

CNeistat368BwayNYC が 投稿

I think this sub and the media are getting a little too carried away.

We scored 3 out of 4 goals from corners, I don't think this had anything to do with Rooney getting dropped. We are generally piss poor from corners, and on another day we could have finished this game at 1-1 or lost 1 nil.

okay sorry for being hype after beating a team 4-0 before halftime.

[–]WildBuffalo 11ポイント12ポイント  (2子コメント)

Not just 'a team', the Champions, and we did it without 3 probable starters in Shaw, Mhiki and Martial.

What was Mou mad with Shaw about? Anywho, I'd be happy with Blind as a back up LB and CB when needed in rotation. I'm sure Blind will get a lot of starts again this season - so consistent and his passing is second to none.

Mou wasn't mad with shaw, he was injured.

You boring bastard did you even watch the match ?

Anybody who uses the 'it was just 3 corners' argument didn't watch the game, in my opinion. There's nothing in the OP that suggests he did anything other than read a report of the game.

The performance of several people was much better, as was the interplay, the tempo, the chances created. On another day we may not have scored from 3 corners but we'd have put away 3 of our other good chances. We were good value for the lead.

We also didn't attack as much in the second half because we didn't need to, we had the lead, a 4 goal lead, and Leicester had nothing to lose from throwing men forward. If we didn't score the corners we'd have gone into half time at 1-0 and come back out attacking as well as we ended the first half. As it was, it was savvy to sit deeper and try to counter, rather than continually throwing 4 or 5 men forward everytime we got the ball.

How can you say it had zero to do with Rooney when, iirc, he's the one that usually takes them. This isn't even getting into the game as a whole, which I think was positively affected by him not playing. At different times it looked like a completely different side.

Not even got time for this negativity, you were obviously watching a different game. My response to you is simply - piss off

[–]YoungPappy 18ポイント19ポイント  (1子コメント)

We are generally piss poor from corners,

Maybe because Rooney is utter shite at them and he keeps taking them.

Our general play was way better without Rooney and Fellaini, don't just look at the goals. Our passing was better and quicker now that we didn't have Fellaini and Rooney holding us back. Fellaini is useless passing wise and Rooney isn't much better, and no those useless 50 yards hollywood passes don't make him good at passing.

Also what's wrong with being good at corners? Those goals still count, look at Chelsea in 14/15 under Mourinho where goals from corners were massive for them and Atletico the last couple of years where corners and set pieces brought them to 2 CL finals and a title.

Blind's delivery in general was quite good yesterday but we attacked the corners better too. Smalling and Pogba both imposed their height and strength well (for instance in the game against Watford Smalling had a couple of free headers from Rooney set pieces but was poor in both cases).

Overall our general play too was much better though.

If you use the 'it was only 3 corners' argument, you're missing the bigger picture of that performance.

[–]stats193Martial 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

Would be interesting to see the OP view on how we got the corners?

did the ball just magically go there or was it because we was tearing them apart and forcing them into mistakes

[–]tikitaka-wakkawakkaJose Mourinho 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

And also the fact that we scored 3 goals in the duration of 6 minutes. 37' Mata 40' Rashford 42' Pogba

[–]FootballRobbChicharito 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well. Lets take away those 3 goals in those what could have been logic. Then theres still that Ibra-Rashford counter attack, that strong Pogba shot from far, that beautiful pass and volley from Pogba and Ibra. What if those had gone in instead then? By your logic we wouldve won by either 7-1 or 4-1 still.

You somewhat have a point, whilst I enjoyed yesterday (the first half), the second half was dire again after Leicester switched their formation. Granted we eased up but we didn't have much creativity against packed defenses and that's where we struggle.

Did Leceister get their first half tactics wrong or did we simply outplay them and would have done regardless of formation? Hard to say.

If we play like this for another 2 or 3 games then I will believe it was not just a one off. Under LVG we had many false dawns so i'm not getting carried away.

Thoroughly enjoyed the game yesterday though and agree that Rooney should not be in the team. Fellaini will be useful in some games though.

It's not about the scoreline, we played entertaining football for the first time in a good while and that's what a lot of us are excited about.

I guest u just watch the highlight and share your fucking genius comment..

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

It kinda does have something to do with Rooney being dropped because he would've taken the corners and they wouldn't have been anywhere near as good.

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

And on another day Ibra could have scored a hatrick and we could have won 7-1.

On another day Ibra converts his second chance against City instead of passing it to Stones and we go in at halftime 2-2 and then come out in the second like we did and win the game.

There is zero point in using the another game argument. It wasn't another game, it was this game and 4-1 against anyone should be celebrated, especially after the last game we had in the prem.

Did you come here just to piss us off

[–]sephiroth399 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

well Rooney would normally be the one delivering the corners, so yeah it is something to do with not playing Rooney.

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

Fuck sake, we could be winning the treble and we'd still get some smartass like you complaining about something

[–]cadallimore 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I can only assume you did not watch the game..?

We looked infinitely better and had many decent attacks in open-play, some of which resulted in the corners we scored from.

Not to mention removing Rooney's shite delivery from the team was probably the biggest influence on our scoring from set pieces..

[–]johnsom3Ronaldo -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Funny how before it was 1 goal and 3 assist so obviously Rooney was playing well. No mention of one assist being Lingard goal where Rooney just played a square pass at the halfway line, or that the goal came off of a fluffed shot by martial. Anytime some one tried to analyze Rooney's performance that stat would be thrown into your face.

Now comes the accusations that the team didn't really play any better it was just 3 goals from set pieces. Why the need for nuance all of a sudden?
