Rojo is a fuckin transformed monster

[–]fakemuseum 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's just become Cannavajo.

[–]TheRealFPLWizFoogie 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

He also gave a cheap fk away fairly late on in a very dangerous position. He had a decent game but let's not go into hyperbole here. We look shaky at the back still.

[–]aot2 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Come on give the lad a break and we didn't give Tottenham the light of day. One of the best EPL strikers Kane didn't even have a shot on target.

[–]Grimson47Berbatov 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, I gotta admit I was always very critical of him the last couple of seasons and I really didn't think he had the quality to be a Man United defender but with displays like the ones in the last weeks he's got my respect. Hope he keeps it up.

[–]OllieUnited18Bailly 67 ポイント68 ポイント  (9子コメント)

The Jojo partnership has been the best surprise of the season so far.

[–]PreztoEliteBest, Law, Charlton 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Joe-Joe or Joho?

[–]liableAccountGiggs/Januzaj 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Jo Ho. It has to be.

The Jojo partnership

I love it!

[–]merlin318 75 ポイント76 ポイント  (18子コメント)

Rojo is my MOTM. Played CB and LB

[–]pleasemovenorthMartial 64 ポイント65 ポイント  (17子コメント)

Honestly. Darmian was almost completely useless.

[–]Dunkaegon 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (8子コメント)

To make it worse, Sissoko has been rubbish for Spurs.

Begs the question why Blind didn't start today

[–]omadanwar 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Because he is even weaker and slower than darmian and it would have been slaughter all day long.

[–]merlin318 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He is slower but has brain, can see the threat. He held of the likes of lukaku last year. Darmian was getting beaten at will today. There was a time when everything was coming from the left and they just dint try to look elsewhere. Anyone running at Darmian was running past him with ease

[–]Dunkaegon 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Oh ffs, When was the last time you saw Blind getting slaughtered at LB the way Darmian did today?

[–]tamasuperstarDe Gea 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah Blind struggles against ridiculous pace, but an unintelligent player like Sissoko is his bread and butter. He'd have had his number all game im sure of it.

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

Without question.

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

yeah but he's a way smarter player so chances are he wouldn't have gotten caught out nearly as much.

[–]fakemuseum 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm sure that if Blind started you'd ask for Darmian.

[–]Dunkaegon 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I wouldn't presume other people's opinions if I were you.

[–]LurknMoarVan Nistelrooy 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yep, useless in defence and even uselesser in attack

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

Hey! He bumbled into the ball on defense a few times

[–]LurknMoarVan Nistelrooy 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, some fantastic bumbles from Darmian today, I heard he's been up all night studying Bee Movie memes to get them just right.

[–]Kiddcohen39Bailly -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (4子コメント)

As he's been for some time at LB. I wish we had CBJ. He's healthy now isn't he?

[–]suissetalk 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Dont see why you're downvoted. Bo Jack cannot possibly be worse than darmian. He is a legit cone and gets cooked every game.

[–]Kiddcohen39Bailly 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

He's looked, at the absolute least, capable of going forward in putting in a good cross in just about every appearance. That same level of impact can not be said about Darmian at LB.

[–]suissetalk -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Shaw must be fucking mourinho's wife for darmian to be ahead of him.

[–]PhilJonesIsTheGOATPhil Jones (AKA The GOAT) 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (12子コメント)

Don't down vote him guys, sarcasm is hard to get through a block of text :), but yeah i fucking love Jones mate, always felt he is a footballer the most relatable to me, clumsy AF and always looking a bit weird but somehow does the job.

[–]liableAccountGiggs/Januzaj 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

His diving-head-first across the ground clearance is the epitome of that description.

Rojo and Jones at CB with Bailly at CDM is beautiful.

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

Imagine playing attack vs those three. You would get battered all match

[–]VicodinPieCarrick 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Bailly's first touch of the match involved tackling two players

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

Wasn't it the header with Winks? Completely took him out

Bailly the destroyer!

[–]GurblesJanet Jazz Jazz Jam 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Rojo was brilliant. Kane spun him once but apart from that he was flawless.

[–]Fm661Martial 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have been very critical of him since his arrival, however if he plays like this then I will retract all previous statements and stfu...

He was phenomenal today and was 100% MOTM for me, Kane was completely shut out and it was down to him. We didn't even have a proper LB and it didn't matter because he marshalled it that well.

[–]TimmyBashSchweinsteiger 37 ポイント38 ポイント  (6子コメント)

Everyone praising Rojo but Jones has been better for me. Jones has been the rock for Rojo to go beast mode.

[–]pleasemovenorthBailly 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (1子コメント)

One of Fergie's last masterstrokes. Always praised Jones super highly and Jones is starting to show why.

[–]batti03 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

he's doing the mike thing. All hail Bill Jones

[–]BBQ_HaX0rStannis the Mannis 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's weird what gametime and confidence can do for players.

[–]Ratovandermir 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That motherfucker Rose tried to create a penalty in the 95th minute but Jones channeled his inner Maldini and took it from him like from a little child. Just stay healthy Mr Jones!

[–]AzarlShaw 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Fellaini MOTM for me. Saved the match if you ask me.

[–]MatrixifyPogba 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

They were fucking delightful tonight

[–]CyaNBlu3Giggs 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (5子コメント)

I generally find it funny when people see Rojo as a good CB. He has always been a pretty good CB, just when he gets put on the left is where he struggles.

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

You watched Rojo @ WC 2014?

[–]CyaNBlu3Giggs 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Rojo was a CB at Sporting. It's the same thing as Vertonghen during WC, he's a CB but he played LB for Belgium. Just because they play a position on the national team doesn't necessarily mean it's their best position (see scholes in 2002....).

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

He was on fire as LB, he even had quite a few shots from the edge of the box...

[–]Hebdo94Remember the Name 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't remember Scholes playing as LB at all..

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

This comment is made every single time Rojo is mentioned....

[–]aflyingfatmanHerrera 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

If you'd told anyone on this sub last season that Jones/Rojo would be our best CB pairing, no one would've believed you.

[–]Robert_Baratheon_Ryan Fucking Giggs 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think it is. We haven't really seen Bailly in with them, and not because they've been keeping him out as of yet. They certainly are playing well together though.

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

That's cus it's not. This thread is so overhyped right now

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

Jones cool as never before

[–]mrpiggywinkles52Rooney 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I've been very critical of Mourinho, but he seems to know how to get the best out of defenders, save Darmian.

[–]omadanwar 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Tbf darmian playing on the wrong side of the pitch with little to no covering from pogba and martial... At least Herrera and mhiki consistently back valencia up on the other side

[–]tamasuperstarDe Gea 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

pogba and martial

That's not really fair, there was a number of points that Pogba in particular absolutely bailed Darmian out.

[–]Reflex2011 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was one of those people who were incredible critical of Rojo and maybe it was unfair since he was placing out of position at LB, but people kept telling me him at CB is a different story seems like it was true, looks so comfortable in CB and alongside Jones who I personally always thought he had it in him is doing wonderfully.

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

Heart was in my mouth whilst Jones was down after that heroic header.

[–]squidsemensupreme 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

What a time to be alive...

[–]FeroztierRashford 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Now we know why all the previous managers still believed in Jones even though he was injured pretty much all the time.

Rejoice, The #RoJones is here

[–]AxelnitePogba 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Who would have thought it would be these two being our main CBs this season. Great turn around by the pair

[–]Flameboy42Welcome Home 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Who would have thought this would become a weekly thing...

[–]iostatJ.S.Park 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Rojo saved Darmian's ass so many times. I was really surprised Mou did not sub Blind to replace Darmian.

[–]A_WILD_CUNT_APPEAREDMartial Will Save us 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Lol I remember a few monthes ago people were calling for Jones to be shipped off in jan to buy a "world class" defender,Imo Jones can still be the best CB of England.He's everything Stones wishes he was.

PS:I still think we need to give Darmian time.

[–]SZamanC#21 Status - Loading... 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Jones with a spectacular tackle which gave me flashbacks to last weeks pen and Rojo basically playing 2 positions, covering Darmian soo many times.

These two were on the fringes at the start of the season but now they've been smashing it. So happy for the two.

[–]Malachi_-_Constant 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm really optimistic with our entire back line. Just imagine if Jones had remained healthy over the last 2 seasons.

[–]dhillonaireLiverpool Legend Michael Owen 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

This is a re-post from last week. SMH Mods are slackin.

[–]sittingbull15 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you tell this to 2015 me, I would not have believed this!!

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

They were both immense. Rojo very decisive in his actions, Jones covering very well. This is our best defensive pairing at the moment. Bailly will have to play himself back in.

[–]Dunkaegon -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

On the bright side, their commitment cannot be faulted and both of them don't hesitate to put their head where it hurts.

But even at their best, they still commit ridiculous mistakes and get drawn out of position easily. They are also just not dominant enough in the air.

More Wes Brown and Silvest than Rio and Vidic.

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

don't hesitate to put their head where it hurts

Rock solid. As long as Rojo cools his head and doesn't lunge in with rash challenges, he's a solid CM.
