Premier League 2020/2021

Ok, I don't want to overstate my bias against Zidane, but it's clear he did not know how to use him and wasted 3 seasons from his career.
James is good player

Little to do with Zidane, more to do with the other players we have that need to be shoehorned into the side.

James always looked alright under Carlo.

 

[Birdy]

So, you say Zidane could not find a system to use him in 90% of LaLiga games at least, where attacking is more important than defending?

I doubt that

Zidane won the league and in previous years the CL. He did not make an error on not finding role for James in that time.

What's your point?
He won, so that means he did everything alright, because he won?

Yes that is exactly the point.

Zidane found a system that won and did not fail on James as he did not fit into it.

 

[Birdy]

By the same logic, Ernie did everything alright in LaLiga 18/19 because he won it.
Right?

James plays his best footall as a #10 or CAM. Same with Isco. iirc Zidane's preference has mostly been to use a 4-3-3 which means there's little room for either of them. They don't play that well in a 3 man midfield or on the wings.

He's fantastic, definite star. Most dynamic player on the pitch, not just fast, technically good, too, great for his age.

p.s. Chelsea's going nowhere under Lampard. Definitely will finish out of the top four.

Great signing for Brighton. They signed the speedy Kwame till 2023 for just under 4 mil.

For Chelsea, it really depends on how quickly the new players can gel and if Kepa can pick himself up or they upgrade him. Pool, City, ManU and Arsenal are all stronger.

Then you've got teams like Leeds, Wolves and Brighton playing fast attacking ball. Gonna be a much tighter race than last year, that's for sure.

None of the promoted teams can defend but it's so fun to watch.

Everton look like a top 6 team now, but there's so many teams who will be fighting for it, the strongest top 9 ever in the PL. Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Man United, Arsenal, Spurs, Leicester, Everton and Wolves will all expect to be there.

 

[Morten]

Good stuff by United.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Normal service resumed at Old Trafford

 

[jairzinho]

Good stuff by United.

Solskjaer is out of his depth.

Vdb was a good signing but they needed a defender.

 

[Devils]

United are simply atrocious dawg.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Not even the presence of Sir Alex Ferguson could rescue United. Lets see what will happen today - Chelsea vs Liverpool.

 

[serghei]

United are simply atrocious dawg.

Hot and cold team if I ever saw one. I watch one game and think man, they're one step of being back and challenging again. Then watch them again a month later and they seem to have regressed again to Moyes days.
