He really was, he put in some of the worst performances I’ve ever seen. Not sure what you saw.He really wasn't. Everyone who was raving about Ugarte's per 90 stats should go and look at Casemiro's.
I think we want a more basic 6 who can join the press if needed and then one of the defenders just moves into the DM role when we’re high up the pitch. He’s done well this half.The way I see it is that he needs a Matic type player who will allow him to get around the pitch and hunt for possession. However, we clearly don't intend on using him in that way. We seemingly view him as someone who will sit.
Won 4 tackles out of 4 and they still moan.What game are some of you watching? Ugarte hasn’t put a foot wrong in that 1st half.
People ran through our midfield because we set up tactically in a way that allowed them to do so.
Ah that explains it. Well last year we struggled to win tackles in the midfield. That number 25, Ugarte chap won 4 out of 4 in that half. I hope that answers your why did we sign him question.
You can exclude Chelsea from that list because a guy playing in my local field also attracted interest from themEven imagining that was the sole reason, which it wasn't, that still leaves us with one past-it DM in a team that still needs to play a DM even in a better structure.
Again, not exactly a huge leap to imagine why we might want to sign a 23 year old DM who in the last 18 months attracted interest (and in one case an actual purchase) from PSG, Chelsea, Liverpool, etc. Him not suiting Enrique doesn't change the pretty clear rationale for all those clubs, and us, wanting him.
But you’re not talking about Casemiro’s poor positioning or diving into tackles or pretty obvious huge flaw of not being able to run.Yep that's what we needed. Loads of tackling, not better control and positioning.
Casemiro 3.3 tackles per game last season. Ugarte 3.9.
A little more I suppose.
What game are some of you watching? Ugarte hasn’t put a foot wrong in that 1st half.
From all of our players he was not the one I expected to be this unmotivated. Should get called out for it.Wasteful from Bruno again.
Zirkzee just isnt a striker. He doesnt even go into the box in transition most times. He's a very tall 10.
Just said that Maguires never scored a European goal tooThey also said Mainoo is still awaiting his European debut.
