It's getting worse. We played better last season. Currently, we go into first half with no plan except to play 9 men behind the ball when we lose it. So it end up like we are parking the bus even against Kano Pillars. Half time Mourinho goes to make adjustments. It has been working that we play well in the second half. But yesterday, first half and send half were pattern-less

elampiro:

The right side of our attack was not forceful with Darmian playing behind Mata, so Palace concentrated on our left side. Yet Young did his best.

Greatihex:
The Tottenham defeat was not a surprise to me. Pochetino is tactically sound and he took a leave from marco silva.

It is very easy to beat this new chelsea.
I blame sarri. Now i know why he has not been able to win anything in his career. He is not flexible and reactive(at least, that is what he has shown). I don't blame any of our attackers for the Tottenham defeat.

First, sarri has made chelsea to only play through the middle. Some teams have found out and have started to choke the midfield.
Everton did that, but they didn't have enough quality in attack to hurt us.

Secondly, we don't have good fullbacks that can put in decent crosses. (even though we only had one tall person in attack in the person of morata).

Sarri's insistence of using some players and playing some out of position is a problem also.

One, alonso should not be in the first eleven. Our fullbacks should be good crossers with sure defensive qualities. Emerson is a good option. Luiz is a calamity and should not be starting for any reason. Kante should be returned to his normal position, so that he can do what he is best at. Jorginho can find somewhere on the bench if he cannot play the same role on the right as Kovacic does on the left.


The worst of all was that sarri displayed cluelessness in his changes. I mean, how can you remove your striker when you should be put another one in to help the one that is already in.

Mehn, i am afraid for this sarri o, and the worst is that he is not allowed to point and kill like pep, Mourinho and klopp. The thing go hot for am o.

Leyqute:
There was no support for him in that instance where he lost the ball after a lengthy run on the right side of the pitch.

Rashford dey disgust me to my bones, Jeez!

elampiro:
If Oliseh were from South America or Europe, he would have been rated far higher because he was a great DM on the field of play picking long range passes deep in his half, breaking down attacks easily and fast in movement. Instrumental in winning Afcon in his first attempt for Eagles. Won the Olympics for a small football country like Nigeria. Won the league in Netherlands and Germany.

Abeg shift with your argument. You did not recommend Pogba more than I. My concerns about him were spot on because players of his signing fees at the time hit the ground running.
......

My own now. I don dey see how we go take get result in Turin.

GAZZUZZ:
E no follow, but congrats, all goal is a Goal.

lordfalcao:
Alonso kwa, more on fault? When Luiz was holding Townsend, moved up a little and a through ball was sprayed in front of him to get to Townsend?

A40:
He was ball chasing needlessly instead of sticking with his man and maintaining position

A40:
I hope your opolo eye would catch David Lulz and his usual PlayStation 1 defending for Townsend's goal. Ekiti Emil Heskey

It is you guys that give it attention that are to blame.

It finds fulfillment in being nothing but a nuisance and being involved in nothing constructive.

But that is its prerogative and if being nothing but a f.o.o.l online (and offline I am certain) makes it happy so be it.

I know every side I stay on, it is likely the general group quickly move to the opposite.

Usually, when I return after I had taken a new position on a player that is not settled yet, I meet people lining up and leaning against that position. I think may be they do it for the fun of it.

If I say Pereira is a write off, it is most likely when I return next, people would be lining up to say Pereira is what we need. And before you know it, the whole house will be praising Pereira. Even those who never had an opinion will begin to join the majority.

The tendency for the majority of fans here to agree to majority opinion and make it a consensus opinion of the thread is the reason Chelsea thread has over taken this one in traffic. Originality is killed here.[/s]

Trexnemesis:
"Him"? So Mary Slessor was a man! No brain in ur flatte head. Na water full am.

elampiro:
The quality of players in the team is low.
Two or three great players will change this team.

elampiro:
You have not seen when Rojo is in form. That LCB is the major problem. Rojo can still play as left back.

nihilistjnr:

Let it be known here that I Dopejemi was the first Man Utd fan to call Matic a bag of beans in this section as far back as last season
