Who told you that his duty is to give us top 4 and no trophy, abi all of us dey mad for here niiiii?

His duty is to qualify for UCL and lose semi-finals

C0dednew:


LOL, at what point did the injury to important players occur... Below is our lineup against Shelfied, Everton and Westbrom, let's keep deceiving ourselves oh.. In between these games was when couldn't muster a win against Arsenal, Chelsea and a grossly weakened Liverpool side, in between was also when we hammered Ston 9 goals and we were feeling fly .. I will see where we will run to when Injury finally hits

Rashford got injured
Cavani got injured
Pogba got injured

Are those I listed important players or not ?

nitrogen:


Yes. Style of play makes them look worse!

Please drop the mancity squad that lost 2:1 to Leeds I wan see something

Also the one that drew with westbrom and the one that lost 5:2 to Leicester.

If you said they aren't our team, aren't they the standard you want to get to?

C0dednew:
Boss, let's try and have shame , hopefully Ole uses Europa to save face this season, we go manage am like that

Shame?
What exactly are you saying, with Liverpool's quality why are they yet to win the FA cup for like 3 seasons now ?

This oleouters just threw reasoning away!!!

Now it's we show win the league with this quality of players!!

Mention these set of quality players, lemme see something.

If his primary objective was to win the league, he will have been sacked by now. Winning trophies like Carling cup or FA cup without securing top four will be considered Failure besides he is still in the Europa League.

So, you are back to ‘the players are not good enough’ in less than 24 hours? Not surprised.

Why don't you guys like answering the questions, instead you'll just spin in to another angle. Fine the players are good enough and Ole shouldn't sign any player this summer, we'll just use the squad we have and compete on all fronts next season.

Lemme just see you guys say we need a RW, CDM, a striker or defender na there wahala go start.

nitrogen:


Stop contradicting yourself abeg. You are an olesexual.

What does olesexual means, if it means those that love his brand of football, definitely No, If it means those that believe he has not failed in his role compare to his Predecessor who have the Pedigree then Yes.

patrickmuf:
Next season we will still play 2-3 games weekly so, I don't know when we will have time to learn the basics as a team...

What exactly do you mean by “Basics”? I do not think we have any problem with doing the basics, I think our problem is mastering and constantly executing intricate passing, off the ball movement to open up passing lanes, forward runs and positioning to ensure that a passing option is always available.

Next season we won’t play as regularly as this season. Unless on UCL weeks, the first team will majorly play once a week. You cannot compare this season to a normal season in terms of frequency of matches at all. There will be more time to practice on the training ground. Also, we will at least have some semblance of a preseason. Are you forgetting that we had no preseason preparation this season? Preseason is supposed to be a time to work on tactics and patterns. We did not have that opportunity this season so it’s understandable that the players have not yet mastered what needs to be mastered in other to make the team’s pattern of play clear. Although, now one can see glimpses of what the team is trying to do.

Passing and movements are what make the pattern of other great teams obvious and that's mostly down to proper coaching...If our players are not doi g what is expected, how then do you allude to the fact that we are playing whatever pattern...It's like saying a team is playing possession football yet they hardly ever keep the ball because their players keep losing it...It only becomes possession football when they keep the ball well even under pressure...

When some players constantly lose the ball because of lose touches or taking too many touches, it is difficult for them to create any sort of pattern. The manager can be blamed for many things but he cannot be blamed for a player being unable to hold on to the ball and progress it quickly. Pep for instance always goes for midfielders who can hold on to the ball and progress it even in tight spaces because such players are important to his setup. We have midfielders who have lose touches and are prone to losing the ball when pressed. This problem can be corrected on the training field,(or maybe we can just bin the guilty players) but like I said earlier, there is not enough time between games for the team to work hard enough on the training pitch. Bruno said he cannot even practice free kicks because Ole always sends him in to rest (obviously because Ole doesn’t want him to be fatigued before the next game.

I can see what the team is trying to do, but lose touches or bad passes always ensure that the pattern breaks down too quickly. Rome wasn’t built in a day and not everything can be taught. It’s either we dispose of players who always lose the ball or we teach them how to hold on to the ball long enough for passing options to become available. Likewise, it’s either we dispose of players who always stand still and expect the ball to feet or we teach them how to make smart movements. These things are not easily taught. Especially not when the team barely have time to train properly.

I watched Madrid vs Liverpool, they employed a possession approach to beat the press of Liverpool and in other instances they opted for counter attack and at all times, they were well placed to execute whichever method they choose thanks to their midfield that controlled the pace of the game and their attackers who used their positioning (Benzema) and pace (Vicinius) to good effect.

Are you comparing Madrid’s midfield to ours? How can we employ the possession game as effectively as Madrid when we have Fred and Mctominay who are not press resistant and cannot pass between the lines to save their lives? Are you expecting Fred and Mctominay to offer the same quality Kroos, Casemiro, Modric offers? Apart from the fact that Madrid has a better all round midfield, they have had a lot of years together. Their possession play is better because they have the midfield for it. Our midfield is just not there yet.

If we play a possession game as you suggested, what percentage of possession do we have in the opposition half? How many goal scoring chances do we create?

Patrick, when a child starts learning to walk, he/she starts by standing while holding onto things, then he/she starts standing on her own and with time that child will start walking with more assured steps. If the parents of that child support the child by holding his/her hand and practice walking around with them every day, the learning process will be a lot quicker but If the parent let the child do it all on his/her own, it will take a longer time for the child to start walking. If the parents always stop the child from standing at all and always carries the child on their back, that child will be crawling when all his/her mates are already running.

Liken the above description to United. We want to play a possession game. In other to master it quickly we need a lot of practice but unfortunately practice time is very limited for the team right now. Our case now is like the child that wants to walk but is unable to practice walking for whatever reason. We cannot just master possession football in a few training sessions. The fact that we don’t do it properly doesn’t mean we don’t try to do it.

Also note that we did not play this way last season. Last season was all about the low block and counter attack. This season is about high press and keeping the ball in the opposition’s half.

It is clear that we are not there yet, but it is also clear that we will get there.

No one is saying that we don’t need one or two additions. It’s normal for every club to buy players every season except when there is an overhaul. But saying that our players are not good enough is just a way to exalt OGS and downgrade the players.

Is it a bad thing to make top 3, win FA or Carling and do quarter or semi final in the UCL with these boys?

Tell me why we can’t do Europa/FA and top 3, then aim for the league and semi final UCL finish the following season.

We need trophies, they count!

So, we can’t do top 4 and one of the shitty trophies for now? E don try wey we win something o, shey you know?

We don dey become Arsenal that was focusing on top 4 and not on winning trophies.

What do we need the one or two additions for?
The squad is ok, there are no holes to fill and the depth is fantastic, we need no new players abeg.

Our players are good enough, I don't want to downgrade them to exalt OGS. OGS should use this squad to win PL, CL or simply geddifork.

Good luck to anybody that reads that essay sha.
