United Have Let Carrick Down! Arsenal Are Unstoppable & Rogers vs Rice CLASH!

31:28Nicky:To be fair, it's a tough place to go and play football at. Realistically, people will think Man United should go there and win. Even when we play, it's a tough place to go and play. I'm not playing that in the stadium. Good as a way. A new place. I'm not. Their fans, they're right up for it when Man United go to town. I just think that it was probably one of them performances where you go, it's typical Man United. We've been saying it, everyone's been saying it all season. They could go and score three or four and they can just let two or three in every single time they play. Led twice as well.

31:56That's the thing. I felt it was a really timid performance. There was no real aggression. I think Everton were there for the take, and especially in the first. I've never seen a game where they just looked like so much space on a football pitch. They never really went for the throat. now look if centre forward is a bit of an issue for him because he's not playing Susco as a I just should say he's got a focal point

32:21Nicky:he's got a play even if he's not up to the standard what Michael wants he's a focal point for the team it's very difficult to watch a Man United team without centre forwards now look Cunha is I don't really know what Cunha is what is he a number 10 or wide play but he's not he's definitely not a number 9 and watching the United team without a number 9 is a struggle I think you also lose a lot of what Cunha is if they play up front then their best performance when they're playing off the sides and come in and attacking when they play up front then they're losing 30 % of their performances but I get the thinking behind Sesco is not quite the player that you want to lead your line to go and challenge you think he'll come good he's a very good player but I think you need more people around you need more centre forwards around him look at all the best teams you know Scaldi's played in 3 or 4 I played in 2 or 3 you don't have one centre forward you have 3 maybe 4 so that lad's they're killing him on his own up there is that what happened with Hoyland yeah exactly the same young lads coming to England carrying a big club on their shoulders you only sent a forward it doesn't happen with the best players Terry Sheringham was what 30 when he comes to United wasn't he played for England superstar he didn't have to carry the team on his shoulders by himself they had four now I'm not saying them days are going to be about I'm not one of these trying to bicker about back in our day but you have to have two maybe at least two or three forwards to go and carry that football club through four competitions why are they not doing that that's a recruitment total recruitment thing that's a different conversation however the one player they've got up front who is a number nine he's got to start him as a focal point he's got to otherwise do they count Mbwemo and Kuno as centre forwards well they will do but they're not no there's no way they're centre forwards and then you go about Rashford Rashford's not centre forward you could play him up there as a nine he could do a job but he's not he's not centre forward he was lively Marcus was lively actually Marcus was really good you see he's running his flicks but the recruitment team more the people the powers that be at Man United and I imagine we'll be saying we've got four centre forwards we've got Sesco Rashford Cunha and Mbwemi now three of them aren't centre forwards so they haven't they've got four attacking players but they've got four centre forwards so it's a bit of a I think Michael feels a little bit like down and transparent yeah he will do we won't never say it and you know I think that's part of the reason Michael's at that football club because he's respectful and he knows his position and he knows he's an up and coming manager and he won't go to war in public I'm pretty sure I'll be saying after it I'll be behind closed doors but he must be let down I think well I don't I don't think it's obvious that defensive they're not good enough they are going to concede goals and I think you mentioned it before recruitment wise it seems like they saw in section by section by section so they did the forwards last year very good they've done the midfield this year we still don't know if that'll work there's players in there potentially could be good and they'll have to go from Chelsea and Santos and obviously Belie but we don't know how good they're going to be if they if them two come together they might help the team defensively but the back four have not been touched and they did not been touched for years and they've not been good enough for years so how you expect that to get better I don't know I'd expect next summer if Michael's well hopefully Michael's still there and they have a decent season I think they'll have a new back four next season well I think Jason they've had a plan over the last couple of transfer or four transfer when they've gone forward it's almost conceding this year that we're not going to challenge the league.

35:39Nicky:But that's the thing, and that's okay, having a plan as a club, but if they're getting beaten and they're slipping down to eighth, ninth, tenth, who's the one that's going to get shifted off? Yeah, Michael. Michael. So he's not been backed. And again, let's not jump the gun here. We're three games in, four games. We don't know who's going to win it. We don't know who's going to come for it. But, as a football Man United fan, you're looking going, we're not quite there. We've got to be a little better. You don't want to be too critical. They are a good back four, don't get me wrong but it's not a back four that's going to do what Manchester United should be doing which is challenging for the league and they've refused to address that this year but everyone will look at the back four and rightly so because Lachie always says we're all concerned about it the four was just as bad of a problem the centre four is as bad a problem as the back four because that line I think they look like scoring goals on it don't they but if you look if you take out no all three of them I wouldn't play any three of them up front I don't consider Rashford a centre forward even though he can probably do it Mbweme Cunha and Sesko if you go against any top team in Europe or the Premier League they're not going to be bothered about that they're not I think they missed Diallo they're not going to go yeah where's he?

36:47Nicky:is he injured? injured yeah off the right but and that's another forward player they're going to say they've got which all fans by the way individually all very very good players I mean the signing of them two last year Cunha and Bweme I think they were brilliant great signings really good players I thought they sorted the forward line out last year but this focal point of a fan of forward which is Man United it's alright City get away with not playing one Arsenal might get away Man United the way they play football you need a focal point and we don't really know about the midfield we've not had a proper test yet it's interesting they conceded against the two promoted sides as well where they were on paper before it started everyone going oh what an easy start to the season I know no games are easy in the Premier League but you'd look at the two teams coming up and you're thinking what do you expect though as you said we've had that back four for five years.

37:37It's never been, it's always going to concede goals at some point, as Nicky said. And in some ways, that is a Man United. Anyway, teams we played in, we conceded a lot of goals, but we always knew at the other end we could score goals. So transfer windows closed, that's done, they've not brought anyone in. What do they do? Well, scores you mentioned before,

37:57Nicky:I think it's a good point as well. He could also put two sitting midfielders in front of the back four, might sure it up. Will that work? I don't know but we're also very young midfield players coming to a big club it's not going to be easy for them the thing is Man United have to be progressive work up the pitch play in their half get a brew on the ball get Cobby on the ball get Tillemans on the ball get these fantastic footballs on the ball you put two defensive midfielders in you're losing that straight away because you're going to commit one of them to come back it's just really it's a really it's a really tough problem to have and again I can hear the comments now we've only three games in I understand that and I'm all for that I hope it gets unbelievably better at the back we know that's going to happen so what Michael's mindset should be now I'd imagine him being is right that's going to happen that's goals it happened with us we conceded 2 or 3 goals and go and score 4 or 5 he's got a goal right the best players are in that half of the pitch not that half of the pitch how do I protect the years while being progressive and going and scoring goals and creating chances that's the big task he's got the task he's got what can he do differently do you know what I mean he's got Masrao he's got he's got stats he can play dog at left back on eight times he's got lenny euro euro who hasn't quite worked for he played a lot of right back in pre-season whether that's an option for him i don't know but whatever he does with them seven or eight defenders it's still it's never going to be enough to challenge for a little five and we know amongst themselves you know when they're in training and what have you all the defenders will they be thinking in the back of their mind well the attackers will be in training won't they i won't mind playing against them you know what like amongst you all as a squad are you kind of like is it like an you know when you i don't know because we've never been there because we always had strength right throughout the team so and you know sometimes as a forward players but especially the center forward when you're looking back and seeing like your team can see and go you're like that okay now i can see that again throwing your arms up and stuff that will be for someone like Bruno Fernandes and people like that they will get pissed off with it of course they will I play in teams that you know you're playing that way and you're not bothered about that way because you know they've got it all sorted out and if they get past the back four they've got a keeper you're not going to get past and I've also played in teams talk about the keeper Nick I'm not sure about the keeper I've also played in teams that you look over and think shit I need to get back in front of these so basically straight away your strength instead of going that way is coming back to cover your back four which is his job don't get me wrong and you get your midfield wide men in and get compact it is very very difficult and I was more of a sitting midfield so Scogli would be better when you're a progressive player going in that half of the pitch a Scogli a Bruno a Tielemans a Cobby whoever you want to talk about you don't want to be worried about what's that behind you there you won't let them defend that's what they're called defenders you defend with your number six we'll go on attack and score goals I don't think Man United players have that mentality at the minute they can't they've got to all get back in did he protect him yeah did you remember Eric Harrison when he that game he did I think the manager was away so his daughter's wedding in South Africa so Eric actually took a first team game and he had a right goer I can't remember would it have been Rio and another summer and a half I can't remember but he said you just want fucking protecting you too and he went and by fuck you need it yeah and that was one game Eric did at Old Trafford I can't remember it was a game was that to Rio and Vidic or something?

41:33no we're Vidic

41:34Nicky:wasn't going to say that Rio might have been in his early days it might have been early days with Rio but I can't think of else Wes maybe? Wes, Ronnie John I don't know Henning maybe I don't know but no where we're at was Man United fans and obviously fans all out there watching it everyone knows they're going to concede goals they're going to win a lot of games of football Man United are still going to win they will be top four I would have thought but don't be expecting a title challenge Michael said we haven't started the season badly would you agree with that? performance wise four points it's badly when you look at what the ambition of the football club always is but if you look at the squad it's expected I mean I was talking what is the ambition of the club that's the thing it's the thing in Europe the emphasis is the thing with what they've done in the window the ambition isn't but at the start of the season I looked at the club and I think we said it on air I said Man United I might come second or third I can't remember what it was we had that debate the reason why I say that is not because Man United are brilliant it's because I don't see any other team apart from Arsenal being great I generally don't now Scholes you might say City City will be good but no one as a Man United fan will go yeah we're going to challenge for the title this year you're not you're just not the squad make up by the way last season when Michael was there I think it was two or three months they were really good and you're thinking right three or four signings we're going to be great this season they've got Tee Lemons in I thought it's a fantastic signing couple of moment fields all very good not getting anybody at the back so are you two saying there's only City as rivals to Arsenal this season no Liverpool no Chelsea I don't know Nicky's saying but that's what I'm saying I still think Chelsea will be there because of the forward line I just think the forward line I think they've got problems like United though they're not great defensively lads speaking of problems let's talk about Tottenham Cosgrove that club at the minute they were looking to get a point on Saturday by the way did you see the goal no I didn't see it but do you know when De Zerbe came in and then you heard about like you know the signings was it 350 million quid they spent in summer genuinely I was looking forward to watching Tottenham this season I thought I know it's a load of new signings it takes time to bed it they're a good team but like you'd think they'd just sort of hit the ground running a little bit or like it's crazy it is crazy when you think of the signs but they will be there they'll be in top 6 no problem at the end of the season I would say just one shot on target versus Forest we said that at the start didn't we they're in a terrible habit of losing games from last year they can't get out of that look it's been 2 years they finished 16th 17th it's going to take a bit of time 10 players probably 10 players is a lot 10 signings but there's some good players in amongst that and I think the manager's good as well I think eventually that might take six, seven, eight games I was going to say how long does it take you know what the big point of it as well is the anxiousness of the fans because it relates onto the pitch that and you can imagine how close we were to getting relegated last year they're in big club they're in massive stadium big attendance they'll all be like the fans we're going to fly this year they get beat they get beat and they're ooh and then straight away you feel it on the pitch now Ozell needs one or two games in a row to win and they'll go like that they will the players they brought in are really really top draw players who would you say is the best signing then are these new lot they've brought in

45:06Tugnalli well there's a few good players and also

45:09Nicky:you remember Savio Madison's come back from injury he's a signing basically it's like a new signing he's taking a bit of time to come back but he will come back and they've got some top top players who really have and I think someone like Madison on the pitch because of how he is his character as well as being a decent player but his character I think that'll help him on the pitch yeah I like him he's a good footballer as well and he makes a team play good football you know what I mean so they need to get him involved so Tottenham is a very negative place at the minute and I've been for two or three years they've got to try and as Nicky said if you get two or three wins put together all of a sudden you're off and running off and running I think it'll be fine

48:41Nicky:hit I think couple of bullet points why I just think he's what's needed in midfield for man United a bit of physicality I think we've got some fantastic midfielders who can play football to the highest level but a little bit of physicality in there is needed and I think he'll bring that I don't think it's a guaranteed hit but I don't think he had a great season unless he had a season before then yeah on that form yeah I think he'll be alright I think he'll be alright 9th Savio Man City to Spurs 75 million quid he has a lot of money for what he's done I think he's a talented lad like are we rating it on the money as well do you know what I mean however you want champs I'll say a hit eventually a hit 8 Bruno Gomeris Gomeris Newcastle to Arsenal always struggle with that 75 million hit i think he'll make them a better team disappointed so he was injured yesterday or something he was so many he came on against villa i thought it made a difference i think he's a very very good player very talented player i would say a hit but the reason why i'm not going to say a hit is because i think the team has to go the team has got to be full cup focal points to be around him i don't think arsenal will do that i think there's other players in that team that can that will be That's a miss.

50:03Nicky:Sorry? That's a miss. Yeah, I think it's a miss, yeah. So, miss. Oh, I don't like saying a miss. I'd rather say all hit and hope I'm wrong. But I just think there's too many players in there that there's more focal points around. Seventh, Ayubouade, Lille to Man City, 81 million. I actually don't think he'll play loads of football. But look, he's 18 years old. He's going to take a bit of time to get into it. he looks like a good player. He's not really my type of midfield player. But he's 18. I'd say hit. There's definitely massive potential there. What do you reckon? I'd have said I'd ignore the price, so I'd say hit.

50:47Okay. Six. Mateus Fernandes, West Ham to Spurs, 85 million. I think I'm going to say miss with this one. Do you know what? I haven't seen an awful lot of him, so I'm guessing a little bit. I don't think I've not seen his name in the first few weeks of the season and I think he did get actually relegated the last two years I'm not saying that's his fault but he was part of Southampton I think he was part of Southampton and West Ham so twice in two years he's been relegated I'm going to say miss on that one I think he's a

51:22Nicky:fantastic player I think he's very talented at West Ham when I watched the game live I thought wow this is a real top top player I just think the club that he's in at the minute it is just not a club that I'd want to go and try and play for at the minute so I'd say miss two misses five Sandro your favourite Tonale Newcastle to Spurs 92.5 million pounds he's had a terrible start in all honesty hasn't he but I think he'll come good hit hit miss oh right I think he's a very first one that no it's because I think he's a very good player I'm not saying he's not good but I just think the set up of that club at Tottenham is going to be and again it's a total different club to Newcastle he was idolised at Newcastle and I mean idolised like he wouldn't be able to go out, go for a drink, go for a coffee or nothing so I just think clubs fit to it and players, I don't think Tottenham fits it.

52:12Right, four Bradley Barcola, PSG to Liverpool £106 million Stop saying the money, it's irrelevant hit he's he even shown it I know it's tips it's your way but the kid that he hadn't kicked a ball since the World Cup whatever it was semi-final or the third fourth place playoff should say against England yeah he looks good signing in it yeah good signing for the

52:41Nicky:top top top Elliot Anderson Forest to City 116 million I had to say the prices it's ridiculous but a hit yeah I think he's a good good player Morgan Rogers Villa to Chelsea Hit Yeah Hit That's 117 million Number one Enzo Fernandes Chelsea to Man City 125 million It's all gone quiet I'm going to say Like I said I think it was the last week I wasn't He's growing on me He's growing I think he's a lot better Now than he was When he first came to Chelsea I think he was good for Chelsea Last year as well And he's gone into A better team To what I'd say Hit I think it'd be hard for him to fail though I'm going to say he's not going to be a hit because I don't think he's a fantastic player I do I just think the players that he's going to go and replace over these years at City like Rodri De Bruyne all these players he's great but he's not in them levels and I think that's why it'll be a miss right remember go to thatprizeguy.co.uk forward slash competitions forward slash good bad football weekender to enter a free GBF winkender, weekender giveaway.
