Why Kobbie Mainoo Has To START For England
Vložit

- It's been a whirlwind three or so months for Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo, a three months which has rightfully resulted in him getting called up to the national team. The March international break is usually one used to figure out a squads best fringe players - but Mainoo is far better than that - Adam Monk explains why...

It’s how press resistant he is. Composure is phenomenal for his age and experience. Shocked at his dribbling against Liverpool but then learnt as a youth player, he was a winger
He didn't play on the wings. At least for nost of his tenure there.
👌🏼
If you’ve watched his youth games you can see how great of a ball carrier he is. For me his best attribute is how quick he can move his feet, that’s what allows him to be so composed because he can adjust the ball so quickly when someone presses him
Literally never played as a winger.
At youth level he would play as a 10 quite alot though
@@feranmiquadri6279he was a striker then moved to the wings and was pushed back.
Percentile don't work like that 99 means he is in top 1% not top 99 %.
"is he a 10?" then Dua Lipa showing up broke me
Kobbie Mainoo is different gravy 👌
A round of applause for the editor😂😂
as much as i want to see mainoo starting for england, i just dont want him play too many football this early stage of his career, manage his game time gradually and if the managers (man utd & england) play their cards right, he'll become a superstar..
bore off
South gate is definitely starting his mate Henderson 😂😂😂
Glad he’s getting the recognition his performances deserve! All eyes on Southgate now, Mainoo really could be the player in midfield England need to go one step further and win the Euros. Let’s hope this talented team/ squad doesn’t go to waste!
He really doesnt deserve to start over Rice, Jude, Trent or Madders
@@obiwankenobi6317 Did you not watch the video? The suggestion was that he start alongside Bellingham and Rice, not instead of them. Watching the kid play makes it hard to disagree.
@@obiwankenobi6317 agree on Rice and Jude. Would love to see Madders in the XI too, but imagine Southgate would have him out wide/ in Jude’s absence and I think Mainoo brings more balance than Trent in midfield (which would allow him to push forward if Trent started at RB) Will be interesting either way, can’t remember us having so many strong options!
@@MisterFluffyBags+1 to this!
@@Burger1234Maddison is great, but he plays in Bellinghams position. I don’t wanna move players around to accommodate others, we always did this with Scholes to squeeze him in. Bellingham has been playing as a second striker all season, we shouldn’t move him around. He’s the star he needs to play where he’s best. Mainoo is the best pure CM option after Rice, he starts
Even Bellingham wasn't starting when he was playing more regular football for Dortmund
Yes - but we were all saying that he should be and Southgate eventually gave in to pressure and started playing him. Then hey presto, turns out he's actually a beast.
@@UNITED8993 he was great for Dortmund but didn't set the world alight for England at the time. Southgate used him well as a sub as he let him settle into the international scene. That's what he's going to do with Mainoo.
Yeah and we put Rooney and Owen straight in
@@XavierJAlexander not after 20 career appearances
@ishwantsodhi7493 cause hewas playing in the championship for birmingham not dominating the prem with united
He’s phenomenal! - Arsenal fan
Interesting his favourite player was always Ronaldinho. And yes, as a (younger) kid he always played on the wing.
I hope Brazil players don't injure him... They've got some reckless tacklers in the team!
Remember: "You can't win anything with kids!" - Hanson '1995
Not right now. He is young and already a starter at United. We all know what happened with Pedri and Gavi. He should get minutes from the bench but definitely not start. And before any United fan comes and says he needs to start. Would you like to lose another young prodigy to injury because of FIFA’s greed? Also, he is playing against Guimaraes. Who loves to tackle recklessly.
Exactly. It’s easily Bellingham, Rice, and Madison. They’ve earned it
@@schroedericeman7200possibly Trent in there
@@obiwankenobi6317I completely forgot Foden too
@@obiwankenobi6317 Trent in theory sounds ok but Southgate would never have the guts.
Nah, Bellingham has to play in the 10 like he does for Madrid. Don't stifle Bellingham @@schroedericeman7200
Completely agree, well said!
Mainoo is the first United academy midfielder since Pogba im legit excited about
Greenwood surely?
Jokers here think Greenwood is a midfielder 😂
@@randyschwaggins I misread it tbf
I think you are right . He is an upgrade on Phillips my England
I am a united fan, i love maino. But I feel like he shouldn't be starting games for england. He should definitely play but not always start in games. And palmer should have been called up.
he was called up
Palmer has been called up
I agree even before watching; yes he should start in midfield for England 0:01
He aint better than Trent
@@obiwankenobi6317 He does a different job to trent, and offers something different.
Having trent, Rashford, Palmer, Mads, Watkins, Bowen etc. on the bench is unreal.
@@QuotidianStupidity, exactly.
You have an interesting name
@@noblesleem1077 cheers
He's way better than Trent as a box to box or CDM. Trent is one of the most overrated players of all time. He's a good passer, bang bang average defender... so what does he do well other than set pieces, and passing? @@obiwankenobi6317
This team actually makes so much sense. I think this works way better than Trent inverting I’m not gonna lie. Great way to screen the defense but having said that couldn’t you play foden in the midfield and rashford on the wing?
Agree with it all! and if Shaw isnt fit i like Colwill
You are really right
I love you adam, you’re absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
If he plays against Brazil and Belgium and clicks with Rice and Bellingham it’ll be hard for Southgate to ignore him. But don’t forget it’s a big if and instructions are still important with great players on the pitch.
Press resistance
he is one of the best 18 year olds i have ever seen , have been saying for ages that him rice and bellingham is cheat code and will be the best mid field in the world for the next 10 years .
He's clearly ready for a go
Foden on the left will be good but won't be as good as we expect, he's best on the right with freedom to roam like Palmer so manage expectations.
On the other hand, the box midfield should be done with Kane dropping and let Jude time his runs in behind like for Madrid with another runner like Saka (copying somewhat vinicius and Son) Expectations need to be settled, we have some overpowered positions (RB, CAM, RW and ST) and some slightly below standard positions like 2nd CB, LB (injuries) and not an out and out LW
And quick reminder, Rice is best as an 8 with Jorginho behind than him as a 6, will be interesting to see how we work that out vs Germany, Spain and ball dominant teams
Dua Lipa is more of a roaming playmaker than a conventional 10, I'd say. Could be used as a mezzala 8 in a 4-3-3.
Re: Kobbie, he's a wildcard. England need one of those.. he doesn't even need to start
Love your line-up. Sadly, Southgate couldn't see it.
Ordinarily I'd say develop him slowly...but with 2 world class midfielders in Rice and Bellingham around, Mainoo's skill as a pure regista fits so well...I say start him. 🔥
There's no better development process than playing him at the highest level.
Why Southgate won’t do what you suggested:
He wants to protect against the counter-attack, which is how most goals are conceded in international football. (And how City concede a lot of goals in that system)
Walker has more pace than Stones (and less anticipation), so it makes more sense for him to get forward instead, as he can recover quicker and stop a counter.
Colwill would make sense, but you’ve then got a problem creating width on the left against sides you’re trying to break down. He makes sense in the tougher games though, against the likes of Ousmane dembele.
Great vid nonetheless. I think Mainoo lacks the England experience to start yet, but after a few friendlies? We’ll see.
I genuinely think thats the best england formation I've seen. the way its setup could be so easily implemented and would play so well. Mainoo, Bellingham, Stones and Rice can easily keep hold of possession.
I hope your feeling better
I like the Euro lineup suggested until Colwill at LB. just put him at left CB and if Shaw is fit, have Shaw tuck in when required, same with Walker
Yes. Shaw has played there for United, to avoid playing Maguire
I think you messed up percentile and percent 😅
I think you meant he's in the top 1%, not the top 99% 😂 that wouldn't be very impressive
Rice Mainoo Bellingham could be the trio weve been waiting for.
Southgate is an "old guard" kind of manager, who places heavy emphasis on past contributions. Why else select Henderson this month? Mainoo may get a chance (substitution) in friendlies. Chances of starting him in a game that means something is close enough to zero.
Keep telling that to yourself buddy
I think when you say he's in the "top 99%" of players at certain skills you must mean the "top 1%", because by definition 99% of players are in the top 99%!
As Man Utd Fans, we've been discussing the Midfield Dream of Rice, Bellingham, and Mainoo, since we saw Kobbie v Rice
on the pre season tour, and there was only one player on the pitch that day, that looked like a £100m player, and if you didn't know
and asked someone which player cost £100m? 10/10, of them would have said Mainoo 100% we thought then, imagine the 3 of them in
midfield for England, but didn't think Southgate would take his shirt out of his underpants, and call him up
Don't be mean to your future manager 😂😂😂
Your setup doesn't work with Foden needing to hug the touchline and other players taking up the muddle of the pitch and colwill staying back and in
If England had a different manager, a Klopp or Enrique, I'd demand he is the first name on the sheet coz i trust them with this kind of talent. But with Southgate, I'm not so sure that I'd want him to start. Southgate will mismanage this kid.
Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott are bang average.
What about Adam Wharton and Alex Scott?
They're older and have more exp.
Wharton is also a left footed midfielder. A profile that the national team doesn't have.
Big clubs dominate the national team man....
Just wondering why the "he's been doing nothing" applies to Henderson but not Maguire 😅 surely there's a better CB partner for Stones? Joe Gomez is probably having his best ever season for Liverpool
Hopefully he wont get started by Southgate so that hes rested well enough for united
It's prime Yaya Toure, y'all.
@3:35 99th and 90th percetile, not percent.. it would be the top 1% and 10%
Percentile.
It's Kobbie Mainoo, as in the "Main" Man, MAIN-OO, Not whatever it was you were calling him? Mineoo???
how you get to "Mine" from the start of his surname is beyond belief
Southgate will play his favorite
Not sure it's that impressive to be in the "top 99%" for anything. Top 1% maybe.
thats what it means,... please are you being sarcastic
@@rajimus it doesn't.
I understand what he was trying to say, but he said the opposite.
Fully agree with the analysis.
Gareth (Southgate), come on. Play the kid in the formation suggested in this vid, and no one will live with England.
Come on. You know it makes sense. Throw away the waistcoat, unbutton your shirt, put on a T-shirt, wear an erring, shave your hair and go bald, or plait your hair.
Look, do whatever it takes for you to do something a little bit inspired.
Please, pretty please (don’t make me beg) for the love of this nation, “Do it!”
Being in the top 90 or 99% doesnt show anything. Being top 1% means you’re the best in 100……
Reminds me of Edgar Davids
Yeah nothing like Davids. Seedorf maybe...
@@randyschwaggins wasn't making a shallow, biomechanical comparison, but go on Rio Ferdinand
what if he wants to play for ghana instead
hes literally done an interview with why and hes with england...
3:35 top 99%? Shouldn't it be top 1%? Or am I lost?
You are correct! My apologies; my trip to Poland this week has knackered me haha!
No worries... get better soon though
youre absolutely right its the top 1% percentile
Yeah you’re spitting
Maybe if he didn't start he could be coming off the bench regularly. Wouldn't be bringing him on as a sitter either, let him drive forward with his ball carrying and dribbling skills, would scare the life out of some of these defenders.
Man utd may be cheeks but mainoo definitely isn't.
It’ll be rice Trent Bellingham
you lost me when you said Southgate should set up "how pep guardiola does" we all know that ent happening😂😂😂😂
"In the top 99%" are 99% of all players. 99th percentile, or, in the top 1% is impressive, and I guess what you mean.
I'm not normally a pedant, but, if you're going to do stats, get it right.
Why do all these journos pronounce his name wrong ffs
Jones is way ahead of him right now. He's better in every stat, he's miles more experienced and has been a huge part of liverpool being successful.
This is the typical hype that happens if a youngster has 4 or 5 good games. Mental, a few good games, and he's being compared to zidane🤣 He's good, very talented, but let's see if he keeps it up.
👍
Could I get a job here if my name isn't Adam?
Jones all the way. Experience. Great all rounder. Would helps the game tick over for the creative talent around him.
Has colwill even been playing for Chelsea? I feel like he isn't even a starter? I may be wrong.
I think we should use that same 3 at the back system but instead of Maguire we should have Trent Alexander-Arnold so he can invert from left back, instead of stones moving into midfield.
He's an attacking midfielder and his talent is being completely wasted as a defensive, it's a simple as that.
Dua is no 10
Very unbias take and very good video 👍
If England didn't win anything with Scholes Gerrard and lampard. What can mainoo rice and Bellingham do?
because none of them was a 6 and we played 442 at the time , rice and mainoo can play as a 6
@@bobnab1570 so your sure Rice Mainoo and Bellingham will win European league ?
no but im sure that those 3 in mf is insane and gives them a chance .@@Kenyan_254.
Rice mainoo bellingham is actually better and more balanced as a midfield trio. Lampard gerrard together is a bit too attacking which is why people felt that maddison, foden instead of mainoo at the midfield trio can create unbalanced especially against a top side
@@ryan123pop i love England but i don't think they will win any trophy
don't sleep on Rashford !
Not a England Fan but the team of yours will be world beating.Not just saying it im United till I die. Will switch Foden for Marcus 😂
first?
First
he's not that good, if he was playing for brighton west ham brentford or crystal palace he wouldn't be getting a sniff of the england team he has the same hype now as rashford did fast foward about 6 7 years ans rashford has lived up to one of his nicknames and that is Gashford it will be the same with mainoo unless he goes to a team that can help him develop
Thats why ten hag is there, he developed young players, he might not know how to cope with big players yet but he definitely has that ability to develop youngsters
Yall are overrating this kid. If trent is healthy its going to be trent bellingham and rice. I have no idea what ppl are seeing in this kid.
you are blind his potential is insane
typical youtube commentator.
Then you have no idea about football at all. Mainoo's talent is obvious.
Is this guy a Scouse fan? Jones is mid as fuck.
ridiculous clownshow. 1:50 comedic
If Jones is fit we really shouldn't be talking about Mainoo playing for England. "Younger and better" is really disrespectful to Jones.
Learn football.
Lewis Miley is better dont understand the hype
Learn football.
Best career start I’ve seen in my lifetime…. Says the 12 year old city supporter. 😂😂😂. So guy just has no weaknesses. Ridiculous analysis.
