pete0 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 I agree. He is at his best when deployed behind the striker. At Utd he is playing in defence midfield and he is useless at it. He can't play further forward because Rooney and Ibrahimovic both drop off so that encroaches into his territory. It's the same problem that afflicts Pogba. Pogba also like to burst out of midfield but the space he wants to run into is occupied by his team mates. I'd have had Fellaini back honestly and I think Lukaku would really have benefited from him being up there and winning aerial challenges. I'd say DM is his best position. He completely bossed Man City when playing there for us. This gamehttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8456839.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeQuince Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 And I think people are forgetting what a masterful tactician Mourinho is. 14 finals, 12 wins, isn't it? He sets out to frustrate opponents, and he's especially adept against sides that play the style of Ajax/Barcelona. His whole "thing" is exploiting that style with a resolute, well-organized defense and attacking players that will get the job done on the counter. Look at the way he deployed Fellaini the other day. Always available to receive the long diagonal ball. He had United 60 yards upfield in a matter of seconds. Fact of the matter is that United has a deep bench full of a variety of styles of quality player. Mourinho put together an XI to go along with a game plan (stifle and frustrate Ajax and exploit their youth and inexperience). Fellaini was a key part of that. Fellaini catches a lot of unnecessary flak, but he's always been an excellent midfielder and a matchup nightmare for opposing teams. You just have to deploy him with a purpose. Back to Klaassen and Dolberg. Again, you can't judge them on this performance, because, tactically, they were never going to get a sniff. Ajax didn't have a plan b. Mourinho made them look impotent.

Seems to have had a great couple of seasons for Ajax. I'm always really sceptical when it comes to signings from the Dutch league though. As long as the fee is low(ish) I'm happy.

EFC-Paul Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 "Capable of playing as a deep-lying playmaker, a box-to-box midfielder or higher up as a No.10, Klaassens versatility makes him a prized asset." Read of few articles on him he seems very versatile and models his game on Bergkamp who played similar positions until he eventually became a number 10 He's a mixture of a few things we've needed for awhile a playmaker but can play as a number 10, depends on what happens with Ross imo where he could potentially play.... Possible partner for Ramirez? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I'll be proven wrong, I can only go on what I've seen from him so far.

aaron Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 My mate follows Ajax a lot and has described him as a poor mans Christian Erikson, but not to the point where you wouldn't want him. Would need to change bits of his game but overall would be a decent signing. (He's a Kopite so could be talking utter shite which wouldn't be rare for those lot).
