Lindelof was pretty good when paired with either varane or martinez, but his quality drops off massively with maguire as his partner

[@52sport6469]

Lindelof is a nice and gentle person,, holding a low but reliable profile and isunusual faithful to his club. Since he as a 17-y.o. left his Swedish youth club BP, he has played for only two clubs - Benfica 2013-17, thrn Manchester United from 2017. Normally playing right midfielder he came 2015 in as a reserve for the injuried right back in the Swedish Ubnder-21 team, which in fact won the UEFA European title for that age. The final got to penalty shoot--out, and Lindelof scrored his one. After that he has always played right back or right inner.back. Only recently has he moved to left inner back in Man.U to help Maguire to a better position for him?

@@the__answerr pep has recently used stones in midfield next to rodri in possession, and when city defends he moves back in defence to make a back 4.

[@sneakerjuice1856]

@@the__answerr He uses 4 central defenders in defense instead of 2 or 3 cd's and 2 wingbacks, with 1 central defender who are allowed to roam into the midfield to help out with offense. Playing with a backline of four central defenders with one allowed to roam in possession gives Man City more options in both attack and defense, making them more unpredictable and difficult to play against.

[@sneakerjuice1856]

It's because central defenders usually are better and tougher defenders than wingbacks, and also because wingbacks can be caught operating too high up the field and give away dangerous counter attacking opportunities. It's enough to have two attacking wingers to cover the wide areas, when you have 4 cd's.

Any defenders can pass long balls, but to do it like Lindelof is rare. The weight of the pass and the way the pace of the ball slowly deteriorates over the duration of the pass is just mind-blowing.

I think he can potentially play in the hybrid role, similar to John Stones at Man City. Casemiro could cover defensively, which would make Lindelofs game stand out even more. He would be a major upgrade over Fred/McTominay.

[@SM-McKraken]

Yeah a lot of people forget he's actually quite good, because his form was hurt badly being shackled to Maguire for the last few seasons. Plus add to that he had a bad back injury which had him out a long spell, and it takes time to get one's game back to where it was after that kind of injury. Add further to that, the fact that most of the squad came out after Ole's sacking as feeling they weren't being improved under Ole's training system. Those 3 things add up to a hell of a hurdle when it comes to improving or even maintaining one's form. Right now, under EtH and no longer stuck with maguire, he's coming back into the form that got him signed at United in the 1st place. I wouldn't start him over a healthy Varane or Martinez right now, but he's a damn valuable option to replace either when they need resting or have a knock. I think he's highly underrated by many United fans.

[@fromBalkan]

we have to understand that lindelof in sweden is very good because he can trust his teammate. when he plays with mcfridge, he cant trust him and is afraid to play more openly incase he gets exposed behind. I've been watching a lot of sweden games because since the start, i started liking lindelof and was pretty sure his problem is playing with mcfridge.

[@BlackChrishi]

BTW this is more what is meant by "ball-playing CB" than what has been said of Maguire previously. actual line braking passes with many leading to chances or assists. line breaking runs while evading pressure and making space for others and being able to pass and move through a press. it's not just long diagonal switches of play under minimal pressure. If United want to get back to the elite level, this is a good level of player to have as a squad/rotation option.

[@wandileoltus7715]

[@shaungregory1827]

Lindelof is strong in the tackle, but often caught out of position - which leads to him having to chase back too often for a defender. He has great ability on the ball - but is often trying to be on the ball when he's the deepest player and being pressed. I've said for years that I would have transitioned Lindelof to being a deep lying defensive midfielder. His range of passing is great. His ability to drive into space is excellent. He times his runs forward well and would be more advanced if he was in midfield. Defensively, he would be able to commit fully to tackles without having to think too much about his defensive partner being either out of position or not having the pace to cover the gap if he missed.

[@ayodelepompey393]
