I know, but at face value he would have made more sense. LvG was throwing kids in either way, may as well used one who was more compatible.

well in lvg's defence blackett did play a considerable amount at pre season, so it's not like he didn't know a bit about him.

It's not like English stadiums are empty....
Also "global" fans are at least as important as local fans, because global fans generate income from TV broadcasting. In that sense bundesliga has no chance of coming close to EPL anytime soon.

I dont say they are empty, i'm saying the germans fill em up quite good aswel.

As for global fans, thats my entire point, they have a huge growth there, but need to offer their domestic games in an international language

that depends on which english teams you are referring to. teams like Wigan can't fill their stadium to save their lives because the town is more interested in rugby than football

I was talking about Lingard specifically. I assume he has also played more than Varela.

well he did get considerable playing time with birmingham city and brighton last season and did well enough

Yeah, but to get attacking wingers playing as wing backs the team has to be more in control of the game.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

the only one i see actually doing well in the wing back role for man utd is valencia

Could have put Jones or Smalling at RB, CB Jones or Smalling along Evans, LB Blackett and gone with a 4-something-something instead of the 3-5-2.
Would IMO have been better with all the injuries he was facing.

"Out of the 92 clubs in the football league, Manchester United are 91st in terms of the number of signings made. Only Exeter City have made fewer and they were under a transfer embargo up until 3 days ago."

Burnley vs Chelsea kick off in 10 minutes.

Burnley goal. just what the game needed.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Fabregas

Chelsea looking scary.

I remember when I predicted how Matic will become a great player, I even wished Juve would sign him. I only watched like a couple of matches of him U19 for Serbia and it was crazy how he stood out.

Then he was injured but still, at the moment he's playing for Chelsea and hell, even starting.

weird pk incident cause Costa had the ball past the keeper and all he had to do was continue moving forward to draw illegal contact yet he clearly dove before contact was made...

Hazard :facepalm2:

Oscar has some new role at Chelsea. He covers deep lol, most of the game he's at their own half and he's like a DM.

He clearly dove. He should have taken the hit like man to make it more believable. Then again refs do do their homework these days on so called dovers.

Fabregas

Great assist.
