Solely looking at this Mainoo and Anderson is a horrible partnership (one game sample) — Anderson having to sacrifice a lot of his game to compliment the former. Anderson | Rice works so well because they can switch roles seamlessly. This is Anderson having to do most of the work
@Emanxamilius_ We don’t even know what his actual position is cos he is definitely not a holding player, not even box to box so please tell me what is his actual position?
I liked what I saw from that pivot of Mainoo and Anderson. It’s definitely something that can work. They literally were the only two players that even looked like footballers today
They were progressing ball into the forwards and none of them could even control a ball
@Emanxamilius_ That midfield will not be balanced at all. Bruno pushes high, Anderson is more box-to-box, and Mainoo isn’t a pure defensive 6. Without a proper holding midfielder the team would be exposed in transitions.
@NoushardMUFC Who says Mainoo and Anderson don’t work? Who had the highest MF rating in the Bristish match against Japan?? Amorim bootlickers are trying to push an agenda and we see you for what you are
Question:
Mainoo x Ugarte doesn’t work.
Mainoo x Casemiro doesn’t work.
Mainoo x Anderson doesn’t work.
Mainoo x Rice didn’t work.
At what point do we start asking if Mainoo is part of the issue?
