The Gana/Gomes partnership

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

My jury on Silva is still out
He was way down my list of prospective managers at the time of his appointment Mainly because of his previous teams defensive records
However he has surpassed my expectations of him and I think he has every chance of being successful here
However Brands signings have been crucial
To sign 6 players and for all of them to be a success and improve the team is a remarkable achievement and has given Silva the tools he needed

Yes, I should have recognized Brands. As he has pulled some strings that has been beyond my expectations plus removing a bunch of deadwood.

 

[Frang]

Absolutely no chance gomes will be here next season. A big fish will be in for him, United no doubt sniffing round him as a matric upgrade...

That's IF barca don't want to keep him

Enjoy him while we got him

The way the team is set out and the pressing they do all comes from Silva and not the players Brands has brought in. It’s earky days but Silva has already won me over.

So Silva could have got last seasons squad playing as well as this seasons squad
Fair enough so

It works both ways as Brands will have been identifying players that will be able to adapt to Silva's style of football - actual communication between Brands and Silva and an understanding of what we need to progress is further highlighting the failure of Walsh and Koeman

You’re right, he wouldn’t have done. I’m just pointing out that the changes he’s made in the way we set up and play make a massive difference.

But only because he was given the players that could play his style

Just goes to show that you can have a defensive player like Gana and play him along side a more attacking one to produce a successful pairing

I wish it were that simple; Gana and Schneiderlin would have been bossing everyone two seasons ago.

United have spent 100m and 50m on players in his position. They need to replace Matic and Gomes isn't the player for that. If Pogba goes they may look at him but my guess is they'll be interested in making a splash and trying to sign a similarly big name to replace him.

Not that Gomes will necessarily be back here but United isn't a team I'm worried about.

 

[Groucho]

The way these two dovetail you'd think they'd been team mates for years.
Both were outstanding today.

Good innit?

i think its the three g's with gana gomez and gylfi all working mid

The G Spot?

Gets his coat.

I wouldn't say given. I believe Brands has the largest say in transfers but not for one minute do I believe Silva has no say. A good old conflab then an agreement has to be the way it is done with important input from Silva. Didn't Silva have chats with Mina and Gomes to persuade them to choose us? and I am sure Silva told Brands that he wants Richarlison.

I wouldn't go typing three Gs into your home computer any time soon mate

Oh well that’s that then lads.

We may as well play McCarthy, at least he’s our player!!!!!
