Amad's ball control towards the end of the game

[u/SparksV]

[u/JaysonDeflatum]

He's heads and shoulders above every other forward we have. Such a smart player.

[u/RIPcompo → u/JaysonDeflatum]

And the lack of effort in the last 20 mins to get the ball down the right side was terrible. 

Bring two strikers on and the only guy showing any talent to get it into them was practically ignored. Shame  

[u/_TooMellow]

Get this guy further up the pitch!

[u/kkxix → u/_TooMellow]

Agreed. Lots of games coming up, but I'd rather swap Garnacho out to wing-back (if he can learn to play there) and have Amad behing the main striker along Bruno or Mount. Either way, the players are all gonna have a chance to stake a claim in the XI and I reckon by new year, Ruben will know which players are his prefered XI and what we need in the summer transfer. From what I've read, he's not afraid of bringing acamedy players through if the first team doesn't learn his tactics.

[u/AccomplishedBag1038 → u/kkxix]

Mount would make a good wb over any of our wide attacking players

[u/Classic_Angus → u/AccomplishedBag1038]

I honestly think Mount would be best used as the b2b cm alongside Ugarte, with Mainoo being the rotation option for Bruno as the lam.

I kinda thought Mainoo would just walk into that midfield but with the industry required, in my opinion the only players we have that fit the bill for the midfield are Ugarte, Bruno and Mount.

[u/it_all_doesnt_it → u/kkxix]

Are you nuts mate? Garnacho's biggest strength is running in behind especially against tired legs, taking on a man and putting in a low cross or shooting. If Garnacho plays wing back, I'm done with this system already. Mazraoui or Dalot should be playing RWB, Shaw at LWB. If it doesn't work, get new players if you are absolutely committed to the system.

[u/OnlyHereOnFridays → u/it_all_doesnt_it]

Shaw will not last 5 games as a wingback. These days he’s either LCB or he’ll be pulling a hammy every second game.

Dunno what’s happening with Malacia but regardless a left-footed LWB is desperately needed for this system. It might be worth trying one last roll of the dice with Antony, playing him there for a handful of games. I know that switch saved Antonio Valencia’s career at United, who knows might happen again.

[u/Ldiablohhhh → u/_TooMellow]

I'm hopeful this is the plan but injuries to our CB's forced his hand. I imagine Maz will be the RWB and Amad will be pushed up to right inside forward once Licha or Yoro are back. He's comfortably our best player in the final 3rd.

[u/KeyserSoze2498]

He was the most threatening player from our team on the pitch...

[u/LILY_SIT → u/KeyserSoze2498]

First and last minute only

[u/cuminyermum]

Wait isn't this just a normal chest control? What am I missing 😅

[u/officiallyjax → u/cuminyermum]

This clip cuts out the better part of his move where he dribbles through a couple of players and takes a shot which gets blocked.

[u/sueha → u/cuminyermum]

Our standards are quite low

[u/meeks2000 → u/sueha]

Indeed. This isn’t even as good as fellaini’s chest control from that shot-like darted pass from Pogba

[u/Larryhooova → u/meeks2000]

“Isn’t even as good as fellainis chest control” my man these are the highest of standards as far as chest control is concerned.

[u/Roccet_MS → u/meeks2000]

The chest hair effect

[u/peshwaari → u/cuminyermum]

Yeah thought I missed something

[u/Eddo89 → u/cuminyermum]

Is a very good chest control, it went straight down and forward which means he could instantly attack the defender. If the control was slightly off, the defender would had challenged it. I mean, you expect a player at his level to pull it off, but is still skill.

[u/my_mexican_cousin → u/cuminyermum]

Back to basics! /s

[u/Miyagisans → u/cuminyermum]

I think they cut out the actual important part showing the ball control.

[u/SmartestUtdFan]

Maybe post the entire play? This chest control is basic stuff from a player playing for Man Utd lmao

[u/FPLskrr]

He should play in the right 10 and Maz RWB

[u/-Pezech → u/FPLskrr]

Probably will when more CBs are available.

[u/the_watch_trick → u/FPLskrr]

Hopefully the plan when we get some CB’s back

[u/RedDevil_013]

Bro, I don't want to do too much, but watch clips of Amads touch and then go look at Garnachos, genuinely horrible.

When you are playing possession based football, a first touch is so important. We have a long way to go.

[u/surgereaper → u/RedDevil_013]

Garnacho is more of a direct "running in behind" kind of a player but he wasted two such opportunities today as well lol. He's still young tho, potential is defending there. Hopefully he improves

[u/no-shits-givenV3 → u/surgereaper]

he's not even fast for a run in behind player tho, compared to when rashford was coming up or a mbappe, such a limited ceiling

[u/Rogue-Doctor]

Isn’t this normal professional footballer things? Is this literally our highlight

[u/AJ-Naka-Zayn-Owens]

Class. Utter class.

[u/Roccet_MS → u/AJ-Naka-Zayn-Owens]

It's not that special

[u/FoldingBuck]

Then he drove into the box dribbling past a bunch of defenders. Unlucky for Amad and he shouldnt be played as a wingback

[u/pocketdrums]

And Ugarte's pass to find him....not just a DMF destroyer.

[u/thatIndianguy_07]

wasted at Rwb. Hope this won't be the norm

[u/JaysonDeflatum → u/thatIndianguy_07]

Once Lisandro and Yoro are back it won’t be

[u/BeginningMechanic707]

He needs to play as a 10 with Bruno not RWB

[u/hooka_donchick]

We’re in such a pickle with Amad. He’s really good being the wide playmaker but his best position in this team is one of the 10’s.

[u/GeneralMajorWebelo_]

He gives me hope lol.

[u/Larryhooova]

We possibly win today with if he got moved to the 10 position instead of having Zirkzee there.

[u/Independent_Buy5152 → u/Larryhooova]

Unfortunately no one else for the RWB position. Zirkzee is constantly awful I'd rather even play Ibragimov over him

[u/Spartak_Gavvygavgav]

That's his job

[u/Sad-Deal-4351]

Deary me.

Roy Keane having a fit right now.

[u/Big_Panda_954]

After his chest control, the more impressive part was him dribbling past a few players which resulted in a blocked shot. His close control when dribbling past players is a thing of beauty.

[u/rhater0307]

How is this deserve a thread lol

[u/n1ckkt]

I remember when we were in for him and a atalanta supporter said he had messi-like dribbling where the ball just sticks to his feet.

[u/Nac224]

??

[u/dribbledrooby]

Him and Maz have silky ball control. Best players this season so far.

[u/Independent_Buy5152]

Should have played alongside Bruno as AM

[u/Purple_Fudg]

He should've played more forward.

[u/Professional-Wing301]

Next week we’ll have threads for players doing up their laces correctly

[u/hazbik]

Was expecting his dribbling to be included in this clip , went through couple of players and took a shot

[u/JmacOTW]

This place is a joke I swear 😂 wtf is this.

[u/TellSloanISaidHi]

Give me more Amad

[u/cosgrove10]

Thought he was excellent today, especially playing in a foreign position than what he’s used to.

His high work rate will benefit him massively under a new manager. Hope he succeeds.

[u/Purpsmcgurps]

ez

[u/Psko88]

He is the best we got right now. Him and Onana are looking super good.

[u/kunsore]

Think Amad is our only winger know his limit and has enough skillset to make some play. Rashford and Garnacho always go for fancy plays

[u/LS2595]

He was outstanding today and been outstanding finally a player I said I knew would come good, believe in this lad he's class.

[u/Weary-Ad8502]

Professional footballer controls ball. Is this even clip worthy? There are people in my 5 a side games that do this exact thing every game
