FIVE KEY POINTS FROM MANUTDWIN AGAINST CLUB BRUGGE
Comment by Odiko Godwin
THE BOSS SEEM TO HAVE GOTTEN HIS MIDFIELD PARTNERSHIP : Many would suggest that it was because of micheal Carrick’s own goal that he was taken off at half time for Schweinsteiger to replace him. But tactically, that change repaired the leakages manutd were experiencing in the first half. May be after the own goal micheal Carrick lost his composure a bit except for the moment he assisted Memphis with the first Goal of the night. When Schweinsteiger came in, he brought that midfield dominance manutd were use to during the time of Paul Scholes and look to understand his role with Schneiderlein perfectly. Don’t be shock if you see schweinsteiger starting this weekend against Newcastle.
SMALLING HAS WON THE HEART OF THE MANUTD FAITHFULLS : In my previous article I mentioned just how good Smalling has become this season, and he showed that again against Club Brugg last night. If he remains constitent with this kind of performance all through the season, then I would not be shocked if he makes the premier league team of the season. His maturity, composure, sharpness and agility have all increased in this few weeks of the season.
MEMPHIS CAN BE RELIED ON FOR MATCH WINNING PERFORMANCES : Memphis showed last night that he can be called on or depended on when manutd are in a difficult situation. The distinguishing features of Messi and Ronaldo at their respective clubs is their ability to get their clubs out of difficult situations, and Memphis did just that last night. I also pointed out in my last article that Memphis is extremely magical when he is played in best position in the left flank, where he can cut into his favorite right foot to shoot even though he was’nt that impressive against Aston Villa but last night he proved to everyone why he is highly rated in Holland and by Louis Van Gaal. His goals and assist are just examples of what to expect in the season when he finally get over the rigors of the Premier league. And expect last night performance to go a long way in boosting his confidence ahead of Newcastle tie
CHICHARITO SHOULD BE GIVEN HIS CHANCE : His ability in aerial duels to set up an attack and his positioning in front of goal is something we have been missing in wayne Rooney starting up front. When he was brought on to replace Januzaj he quickly reminded his boss and the manutd Faithfull that he is still got what it takes to perform at the highest level as a center forward. Will be interested in seeing how the boss set up his attacking line this weekend against Newcastle judging from Chicaharito’s performance last night.
THE BOSS WAS ALSO IMPRESSIVE WITH HIS CHANGES : Many always blame the manager when the team performs poorly but fail to recognize them as the architect behind the teams good performances. Last night, the boss was spot on in his tactics and especially his changes. The decision to bring on Schweinsteiger for micheal Carrick at the break paid off, as the midfield performed better afterwards, also his decision to replace the unconvincing Januzaj with Chicharito was brilliant not leaving out the change that saw Fellaini replaced the tired Rooney producing the all needed goal to make the second leg in Belgium an easy task.
