You proclaimed Torreria was given license to be the most offensive of the 3 CMs, presumably by Emery. I said thats rubbish because he is not the best offensively out of the 3 CM so why would Emery make that decision unless he was a complete jackass, which I presume he is not. So if you are sticking to your argument then I have to laugh.
This is so easy.
Out of the three. Guendouzi, Xhaka and Torreria
- Who is the fastest? Torreria
- Who has scored the most goals recently or even going on last season? Torreria
- Who has the best stamina and agility to motor up and down the pitch? Very easy answer. Torreria.
Hence why Emery gave him that role.
None of the three are attack minded, that's exactly why all three where picked to keep things tight, not play naively and leave easy spaces to be exploited like vs Watford.
Its funny because if you knew tactics and if your knew or players strengths a little more you would know Torreria has everything to be a top center mid and play box to box just with a primary defensive mindset and an engine to support the attack. He did this really well next to Ramsey last year when we played 343, then Ramsey got injured vs Napoli which was one injury too far and the team died.
theHotHead wrote: Regarding Ceballos not starting vs Man U, your argument is he is defensively shit and not fit enough to last 90 mins. But he is good enough offensively to run the show - offensively, so why not let him start, even if you get 60 mins he will have run the Man U midfielders ragged and we can bring on someone to take his place, thats the entire point of having substitutes. Not starting him and asking a specialist DM to supplement the creativity in the team is lunacy.
Simple. Because his defensive deficiencies are a bigger issue to the balance of the team than what he could do on the ball in attack. This showed in the second half when he can on. He was great on the ball but i was shitting myself with how weak we were defensively when he came on. United would have scored at least 2-3 goals if he started. All United's good chances came in the second half and many where created down the side Ceballos was stationed in midfield.
Ceballos was wonderful today vs Liege, but its Liege, a good Championship level team, not Man United at Old Trafford!
theHotHead wrote: Regarding Ceballos tackling back, you play players like Ozil and Ceballos and do not focus on their defensive game. They are offensive players and a manager with half a brain cell will ensure the team around them are able to cover the defensive duties. but when the manager makes stupid decisions as Emery has been you see the team struggle so badly defensively. We are worse now than we have EVER been defensively, since I have watched Arsenal. Emery is a defensive clown. He can't get the team to defend and he can't get the best out of his offensive players. This is a failure of epic proportions.
This one is simple. Emery gave Ozil a very suitable 442 diamond formation and gave him his favourite position and provided Ceballos behind him si we could keep possession and dominate the ball vs watford. Just like he did at his peak period with Arsenal with Santi behind him.
Ozil failed miserably and was by far the worst player in the pitch. He's a shit player now and your naive defence of him is why you have no point whatsoever here, your just shouting, you need to get real and watch the Watford game again and see the truth to how poor a player Ozil is now.
We don't know for sure what's happening behind the scenes but I'm happy Ozil will soon leave in January. We need his wages taken off our books so we can buy a real attacking midfielder to work and dual with Ceballos.
