Post Match Manchester United 2 Leicester 0

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Genuine question. How would better positioning allow Wes to avoid the 'body on the line' stuff?

By its nature he is putting his body between the shot and the goal. Better positioning would simply mean he did not have to move to stop the shot. The attacker is trying to get the ball past Wes, wherever he is standing or positioned. What Wes does so well is he will throw himself in front of the shot when the attacker goes wide of him. This is always going to happen as there is only a very narrow angle near the goal line where Wes cannot cover the whole of the goal.

Wes also always pins his arms behind himself, making it hard for a referee to award a penalty, unlike Simpson who gave away a penalty because he kept his arms to the side or front.

I agree that Maguire is the future and maybe Shakey will normally choose Maguire as first pick and then Morgan or Huth, or all 3 if he wants 3-5-2.

I disagree about King. I would never start King before Okazaki. Only after Shinji's batteries run flat at 60 minutes should King come on.

by stopping the shot every happening in thew first place, surely that is bloody obvious?

The substitution of Shinji stopped them coming down Simpsons channel in that sense it was a good tactical substitution, in regards to Morgan if he reads the game better he does not need to lunge in instead he can shepherd the player away from danger, he allows the attacker to make the decision to often IMO, Simpson always looks like he is in no mans land with Morgan as he is covering him as well as well Mahrez. When Huth is playing Morgan looks better and more assured probably because Huth s keeping him in position.

I did not say that King should start he shouldn't but at least it showed awareness by Shakey he made the correct decision at Arsenal however he brought on the wrong player in Amartey. Shinji had a poor game against Man Utd however he was excellent in the previous two, I think Chillwell offers better options as a winger or left back than Gray.

I don't really know what I can add to this thread. It's definitely up there for thread of the year

Having read it I've decided the only thing I can add is that I'd prefer baby oil to soap for the tit wank.

****'s sake. How can it be a soapy tit-wank then.

Standards have dropped here. A lot. Bigly.

That's not an option, GUAW. Sand or soap, they're the choices.

Wrong. Again.

Tut. There is no right & wrong in these matters. Merely options, opinions & preferences.

I would never play King.
