This would be my only concern with Wober, more than one report suggesting his passing is poor. Hopefully something that can be worked on or mitigated against, sort of "nothing fancy, Max, just short passes to teammates" or "if in doubt, Max, welly it!"andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 12:27 am Thought he was brilliant too. Gave him a 10 in ratings. One minor gripe. He did play us into trouble a couple of times from the back. But defensively great. Think we got a gem and a bargain.

Re: Maximilian Wöber
This is where we need the DFM to come and take the ball off him, either that or as 1304 says "welly it"
his passing form a CH is far better than what we've had though in Cooper, Llorente or Koch, says a lot.

Re: Maximilian Wöber
Cooper and Llorente were both cracking at long diagonal passes, not so much short passing. Trouble with the formation this season is that it didn't really give them the opportunity to do those passes with us not stretching the play.mentalcase wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 9:57 am This is where we need the DFM to come and take the ball off him, either that or as 1304 says "welly it"

Wober hasn't convinced me yet. I think at present it is a case of him being better than what we had rather than being top class. The loose passes could easily have cost us a goal, if it was Cooper or Llorente giving the ball away like that they would have been pelted by the fans. Also not convinced on his reading of the game, for Rashford's goal he wasn't really doing anything, he could have either helped to prevent the cross or doubled up on Rashford, instead he was is a position to simply have a good view as the goal went in.
That's maybe me just being overly harsh and hopefully in a few more matches I will be more convinced by him.

Apologies, dislocated shoulder.
I was reading another injury concern at the same time.

Re: Maximilian Wöber
Probably not as bad then, hard to say as sometimes can pop it straight in and be good as new very quickly - am presuming this is what they did yesterday.mentalcase wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 10:38 am Apologies, dislocated shoulder.

Am presuming Cooper isn't ready, why he was on the bench I have no idea if he wasn't even ready to play 45 minutes yesterday. The fact we brought Rasmus on and switched Ayling to CB also suggests where we see Montiero in the pecking order too - for me would have made more sense to have brought Montiero on and kept Ayling at right back - was Skubala bringing Rasmus on just his way of trying to keep a more senior player happy or did he not think Montiero ready to play in the prem?

Wober out for 3 weeks. We need to be planning for a return to the Championship now. A full reset is needed from top to bottom.

Re: Maximilian Wöber
Hopefully Cooper will be fit. Woul definitely rather see Cooper or Montiero come in to the defence rather than moving Ayling. Still baffles me as to why Cooper and Montiero were on the bench and not used.mentalcase wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 10:18 pm Looks like Max could be out for up to 3 weeks, just gets worse !!
Re: Maximilian Wöber
Oh fck !
I hope some silly beggars don't go calling for the manager to be sacked again because some of our key players are getting injured oh jeez perish the thought.
Please give him a chance guys.

Re: Maximilian Wöber
I'm amazed how all of our coaches resort to using Ayling as a CB, by carrying out this action, it weakens us in the right-back position, why make two changes when only one is required.
Also, the stats probably show, we rarely win games when Luke plays in the centre of our defence.

Re: Maximilian Wöber
Wober & Koch seem to be doing really well as a CB partnership, hope they stick together till season ends no injuries to either
