Combined XI Thread

Since WC 2014 though he joined Liverpool and Rodgers being an idiot didnt rate him so he lost his France place through injury and not playing. He's back now, even though he just got injured. I think he will start next to Varane come the Euro's.

Klopp just said this about him too.

"We have to wait for a scan," Klopp added. "I don't want to speculate now. I would prefer to lose 4-1 and keep him."

Klopp is a very good manager, he rates him.

You signed him the season before the world cup, he played roughly the same amount of games for Liverpool under Rodgers the season before the WC as he did after so that excuse is void.

[Jatz]

Kante > Schneiderlin. But yeah, looks about right from there.

 

[pieman123]

Yeh nah

 

[Bojan KantKick]

hahaha

 

[Jatz]

Haha indeed Better defensively and plays more key passes.

Or are you trying to say that Schneiderlin is an attacking mid?

 

[Jatz]

So he's a slightly better passer.

yay stats.

Sure you can.

You've not said how Schneiderlin is better?

Kante is the driving force in a side that's taken the league by storm. His numbers match up.

Just because he plays for United, does not mean Morgan is better.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

oh look. Kante' is better than Busquets too

 

[Jatz]

Keep avoiding it mate

yeah it's all Kante', not that spud Vardy and that shittruck Mahrez. Taken the league by storm

christ, watch the game this w/e. you won't pass the ball into Ulloa or Vardy cos Morgs will be covering the space in front of them.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

i'm not avoiding anything. Using stats to form arguments is BS. It's Lebron>>>Jordan BS.

Where did I say it was all him? You're making shit up. Sorry, I forgot you expected us to be 1st at the end of November...

You mean where Kante has been better? Shouldn't escape the centre circle then

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Keep avoiding it mate

I think you've hit a nerve

 

[Jatz]

You mean like useful stats? Like he intercepts the ball more often than Morgan. Or he's more successful tackling?

Yeah, completely useless.

 

[Jatz]

I think you've hit a nerve

He's got nothing to back up his ridiculous bias He could just admit he hasn't noticed Kante has been as good as he has...

[Jatz]

Driving force = all Kante.

Come on

Sure you can.

Schneiderlin has been doing it for much more than this year though, he was sensational last season in particular. If you look up the United thread when we were chasing him in the summer you can see United supporters admiration for Morgan's game is not at all due to the shirt he's wearing.

Stats never tell the full story as Bojan has made clear by now, one stat that does matter though is the fact that United have conceded nine goals to Leicester's 20. Obviously we have more defensive quality with DDG and Smalling on fire but Morgan's positioning and quality is instrumental in us having the best defence in the league.

Everton tried to pass the ball past Morgs and he absolutely smashed them. I explained this in the new matchday thread. Terry had a season where he made 2 tackles in a dominant title winning season. doesn't mean a CB who made 1200 tackles in a relegation battler is better than him cos he made more tackles. Going off stats, Paul Scholes was shit.

No question he's been better over his career. I was of the opinion we were discussing this season though.

No arguments there. However, it's hardly Kante's fault that we concede from set pieces etc.

We haven't conceded a goal from open play since the Arsenal goal a couple of months ago.

How many times have you watched Kante? Be honest.
