GWT: PL Matchweek 10

Fred is an absolute menace, what a player he's grown into

 

[I Eat Crow]

CAVANI!!!!!!!

He's really proved me wrong this year. He's been fantastic today.

 

[robertmac43]

Wow Cavani, nice finish there.

 

[The Abusement Park]

In terms of raw numbers, maybe. Lautaro is much more of a clinical finisher and has more of a poacher's mentality. He's more Cavani than Martial in that regard, if that makes sense. Martial blows too many chances to truly be world class, which is a shame because his elusiveness and speed are world class qualities.

I mean but Lautaro has had issues with his finishing ability since he's moved to Europe? I just don't think Martinez does anything that would make him an upgrade over Martial, especially considering Martials hold up play is getting so much better.

@hatterson That sub though

 

[Jussi]

EL MATADOR!!!!

Like I said all along. Brilliant

He's really a poor mans Kante in every sense.

 

[hatterson]

His movement is just so incredibly good. Knowing to cut across like that because that’s where the space is is just amazing.

Maybe Roy Keane will begin to warm up to him...

 

[I Eat Crow]

Massive win.

If United can finish top 4 and make some good business with a RW, striker, and CB coming in, with Pogba, Martial, and the back line dead weight (Jones, Rojo, Bailly) out, they're in really good shape now and moving forward.

 

[Jussi]

Club record 8th successive away victory.

Best off the ball runner in the world.

 

[Aladyyn]

Outside of the corner that was a brilliant overall performance. Should have won by at least 3.

 

[AB13]

Sp*rs - Chelski will be interesting. Chelsea have a much better team on paper, but Spurs will have chances in transition because of Chelseas midfield lacking balance and Lampard not having a compact system in defensive transtition centrally. He lost the FA cup final cos his CMs empty the midfield.

Let's see if Lampard has decided to adapt to the 4231 for a big game against a team capable of exposing their transitional issues in the 433. 4231 offers better central compactness in defensive transition that his 433 lacks. If not, Spurs will have joy in transition.

 

[hatterson]

Also, for all of the pearl clutching about United, they’ll finish the day either 5 or 7 back of first with a game in hand and 2 back of 4th with a game in hand.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

He's not an upgrade at all.

He's more consistent and younger which is saying something. It's a big year for Lautaro he has to show he can be relied upon week in and out. So far he's doing a solid job. Gets a lot of hate though.

He's 1 year younger. And hasn't had a season as productive as Martials last season was. They're both good but neither one is a clear upgrade on one another.

 

[Venkman]

Great comeback win. Good performance. Cavani needs to be first choice now.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Chelsea have a much better team on paper,.

Nah

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

United would love to have Davinson Sanchez if Mou prefers Rodon!

Sure thing. I'd love to see Spurs replace him.

In the their respective leagues sure but Lautaro has a better record in Europe and kills him in the NT.

 

[Jussi]

United deserved to win based on xG as well: 0.5-2.48.

 

[Evilo]

Is there really someone arguing Lautaro is better than Martial???
