It feels so weird cheering for a club you hate..:P Good stuff though!
-
wait. i'm a united fan… or wait, did you mean you?
-
hahaha. yeah i thought so. anyway there's still lots to see how he'll impact the team. the bpl is very different to the other leagues in that it's a more physical game..
-
well with arab oil money, it's hard to see why he would need more time. but that said, he's been left with a pretty decent squad since pellegrini anyway. this domestic season could be closer than ever at the expense of the representation of the bpl at the european stages with many big managers in the top 6-8 clubs..
-
the way he got up for that header for his first. i'm thoroughly impressed. i haven't really seen him play as i don't watch the other leagues. really exciting seeing him play now..

Many friends disagreed with me when I said that Zlatan would score 20 easily this season, they came out with the old cliches about age, the pace and intensity of the PL, how he wouldn't have time on the ball etc….
Zlatan game has never been about pace, it's always been about an immaculate touch, the ability to find space and absolutely sublime vision. He never wastes the ball, and is still the quickest player in the league in his thinking, a real class above.
This is the same reason the a player like Messi will still be class long after CR7's pace has deserted him.

Only concern people should have had about Zlatan is if he would get the appropiate service from midfield. If you give him opportunities to score, he will do it. Even better if other players can support him and take away/occupy defenders.
I think if United dropped Roonpig, slot Mata in no.10 role and put Miki out on right wing, he would get better service.He's still only played 3 games (including community shield) though.

pfft. that first half was absolute shite.
