Geyse Ferreira | Our new #23
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
To everyone that has Russo #23 jerseys, I suggest removing Russo with GEYSE 
What. A. Player.
She has 2 goals in her last 31 competitive matches. If she can find people with crosses it does not matter however. Barcelona fans were frustrated she was a physical beast but lacked final precision in the ends products! But some of the moves she pulled off in this 2nd half were insane
She looks genuinely unstoppable at times. Once she gets more settled in to the team I think the final decisions will improve which will be fun.
She’s not at full fitness yet either and only played a handful of games for us. She is fantastic. Quality player. The challange for United will be keeping her. Just like all our best players. Needs more goals but what she offers the team is clear.
That's what we need on the right wing.
With those drive ins skill, she should dye her hair bleach blonde and have those full backs for diners, diving at her feet!
Guyse Fieri-era amirite? I'll get my coat
She surely is someone to get you at the tip of your seat, isn’t she?
What I noticed from the Villa match was how often she’d get passed her full back, but then passed it into a defender, because nobody in a United shirt had made a run towards the first post or positioned themselves for a cut back.When our players learn when they have to start for a Geyse run, she’ll be able to set up a lot of tap ins.
Actually a shame she's not playing with Russo. With Geyse's creativity and Russo's poacher instincts, they'd have been prolific.
Plenty of players on our books who can develop a front post run habit though.

Geyse/Malard could be a brilliant pairing for us. If there's one thing we already know it's that Malard is sharp and hungry in front of goal.
The whole forward line will need time to gell. Geyse is capable of the unexpected and our own players need time time on the the training pitch and in matches to work it out. Fingers crossed she can get to 100% fitness for us - she could be a joy to watch.
Geyse may miss a couple of games but is available for Arsenal
Bit of Antonia Valencia about her
Hmmm. The precision of her footwork and the accuracy of her crossing are exceptional - not really things that I remember as marks of Antonio's play. She does struggle to turn all that lovely technique into goals though, so I'll give you that.
Also, she loves to take on players one-on-one, something Valencia refused to do most of the time.
Yeah a bit lazy in my comparison but I meant can beat the fullbacks easily but is guilty sometimes of her cross not beating the front man but perhaps I’m being harsh as I don’t watch often enough
He did before he got injured and had it beat out of him by LVG. Let’s not forget his first season in particular he was awesome
That’s fair.
Away with Brazil:
She looks like she doesn’t really enjoy/want to be be united. Maybe I’m wrong.
Nice finish - does mean that she misses this weekend WSL and maybe even next week if Brazil progress
I don't think we'll see her until our match with Bristol on the 17 March.
The QFs are this weekend. It's seeded (based on the group stage) and as one of the top seeds they'll be favourites to go through. Semifinal is midweek. The last group stage matches are tonight and those will decide their knockout opponents, but they could meet the USA in the SF.
If they make the final, that's on March 10th.
The semifinals are:
Brazil v Mexico
USA v Canada
Matches are Wednesday evening (early hours of Thursday morning in the UK)

I know what you mean.
Brazil will play the USA in the final of the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Sunday evening (US) early hours of Monday morning (UK)
Geyse didn't play in Brazil's midweek 3-0 semifinal win over Mexico. I've not heard that she's injured or anything so hopefully she'll see some minutes in the final.

Good to see Geyse dancing and smiling on Sunday.

In terms of her future and happiness at the club, she wrote on instagram:
”Finishing my first season with the English giants gives me motivation to continue to make history in the future. I’ll keep working, improving and representing this shirt with the dedication that the fans deserve!
”You’ve got to hear the masses sing with pride!”

Well, that's good to hear. She tends to look quite cross, and I get that as a professional athlete she wants more, and wants to do well - so is probably upset at being benched so often, but it was great to see her smile after the cup win, and good to read this.
Yeah I agree. And Tooney for example is always pretty serious around matchdays too. It’s just that with her you see interviews etc. and you know she’s happy at the club (for now).
It’s just that with Geyse all you see is her playing (or sitting on the bench) and she’s quite serious as well.
Anyway it was good to read that as I wouldn’t have been surprised if she wasn’t happy with how her first season went or if she even wanted to be here.
