Benjamin Sesko out until January. Still the same shin issue. I guess the doctors misdiagnosed the earlier injury, mismanaged him and now it’s gotten worse.

Our medical department is shiiiiiiiite and clueless.

They are only maintaining their shitty track record.

Airmark Fufuna finally buries Chelsea

😁😁😁

odizeey:
Na why Yamal won use getafe and eibar stats win balon d'or.

Leyqute:
Lool. You don’t have issue with your boy’s incompetency in the World Cup. You are happy with his disappearance in the UCL and other top games. It’s El Classico that you draw the line.

Gbandrew Gbagba Gb44. Are you sure sane people should even speak to you?

😂😂😂

Kikelomogbenga:
Messi won with zero world cup goal and got smashed 4:1 by Germany in the quarter final so don't blame Yamal for trying. What is good for the goose is good for the gander or how dey speak am.

I am not blaming him. He is allowed to campaign but he should know he has to show working on the field along with his campaigning.

AirBere:
The stats are pretty evident on livescores.

In the last 4, he missed 1 so you move to last five. So in the last 4 that he has played, he got 1 goal, 1 assist. Poor numbers but that's not the point. Point is your initial assertion. Which is that in the last 4 el classicos, he got 004. That point is Nay!

Bros I am not arguing with you. You already admitted they were pauper’s stats. I wanted to know which matches he scored in for my own knowledge. If you know tell me

AirBere:
You've said it all. Balanced take and I like balanced takes, always!

Mbappe winning would not have been a robbery. Kane is a worthy winner though.

The problem is the inconsistency in the terms used to determine the winner. In a World Cup year the World Cup used to be major factor, and Mbappe was one of the biggest performers this year plus he was great in all competitions individually.

This award was always about individual performance until people started doing Set Theory and looking for which player was in League winner n UCL winner n World Cup winner. This was what lead to campaigns for dem Sneijder and Jorginho.

AirBere:

He's been a passenger in big games including el classicos but the emboldened is nay lol.

Check again.

Ok. No be complete disappearance. How many goals and how many assists? Not challenging you but just want to check. Which games did he score or assist?

Lana1:
As long as we get lucky with a manager in 20 attempts we should keep sacking like Madrid till then. I don't know how that can sound like a solid business strategy to anyone

Mumunnamu reasoning is not to be understood but to be marvelled at, like the freak show it is.

Nathz101:
As I’ve always said, Wilcox or whoever sanctioned Carrick’s appointment should be the first to go. When the people making decisions behind the scenes keep getting things wrong, don’t be surprised when those mistakes show up on the pitch. You can keep changing managers, but if the people making the decisions aren’t getting it right, nothing is going to change.

This line of thought is too sophisticated for Mumunnamu. As long as the hiring and firing of managers continues they are happy. The competence of the person doing the hiring and firing of managers and players is of no interest to their nanoscopic brains.

Leyqute:
…and he would’ve won us the league if he started the season with us…

Touch not my anointed abeg. GBArrick on the wheel

Camacho scored 4 goals yesterday. Ajayi has talent but there is something worrying about his body language.

The 2 Man City boys look good. Probably better than the Fletchers but it’s still early days.

EDS is a dark horse option on the LW. Athletically inferior to Ajayi but plays the game with high IQ.

Mumunnamu. You want to hire the best managers and buy the best players in order to win titles. But you want the people doing the hiring and firing not to be competent and experienced people.

If the people doing the hiring and firing knew what they were doing maybe we would have had better success like the Madrid, Barca, PSG that people like to cite.

PS Woodward was a major factor in the decline that we are experiencing. Player power culture started under him and has never left. Wasting money on mediocre players and not supporting managers in consecutive seasons started under him. Big salaries for average players that we found difficult to move on started under him. Contract extensions for perennially injured players started under him.

I don’t know what empty headed logic wants success for a club and wants coaches fired at will but is not ready to get the best people possible to make those decisions.

This epistle no come too much on top bucket?

See as the tears thick like ponmo. Tears wey require teeth to eat.

Roland17:
For taller goalies, Courtois na master when it comes to sorting his feet and that is why he makes incredible ground saves.

Quick feet sorting for taller goalies also ensures they are not over stretching when they dive, especially for shots close to their feet.

Quick feet sorting affects timing of dive. To your point though, Donarumma has a bigger frame.

Courtois learnt the hard way. Let’s not forget those memes of Courtois wearing long gowns when balls were regularly going between his legs.

larride:
All for nitrogen to start trolling by saying "Shebi football people are now in charge"

Na thunder go fire nitrogen and his bosses walai

That one’s case is beyond redemption.

You want the best results, the best players, the best manager (and you are willing to hire and fire constantly for this) but it is now a crime to ask for the best football executives rather than bankers, lawyers, and other unqualified people.

patrickmuf:
Ashworth was brought in but didn't stay long hence the promotion of Wilcox. I don't think the buck stops at his table though because from what we read, it appears that before any decision is made the opinions of Vivel, Wilcox and others are sampled...

I perfectly get your point though. They're more experienced heads at the level of top management they should have hired...I went through the profiles of all of them.

This moronic promotion of people behind their capability is not helping us.

We did it with Murtough who joined us from Everton as Academy Director and we promoted twice to Director of Football, a job he had never done before. .

We did it with Fletcher who was promoted from U-16s coach to 1st team coach to technical director within 5 months.

We have now done it with Wilcox who was Academy Director at Man City in 2023 and essentially had gotten a double promotion to Director of Football at Man Utd by 2025. All with no evidence of success or competence at either the TD role or the DOF role.

We are consistently appointing people with no track record of success in the roles they are given to come in and stabilize a sinking ship.

Go and get a lawyer for your murder case does not mean you should employ a charge and bail lawyer.

patrickmuf:
I really don't understand why you guys are arguing over nothing.

The guys that have been brought in to run the club are football heads. You can't argue otherwise.

Amorim was poor and his decision to be rigid cost him. You can't argue otherwise because he has come out to acknowledge that he made mistakes. Was the club right to fire him? YES...

Carrick came in, did well and was handed the job, but he has not covered himself in glory hence the demand for his sack.

That someone called for Amorim to be sacked and after all praised Carrick for the improvement in results after his appointment doesn't necessarily mean the person should begin to defend Carrick in the face of glaring failure. At this point, Carrick deserves the sack.

One area I will agree with some folks here that is left unscrutinized is the squad management and planning. That we still parade Shaw, Maguire, Dalot, Rashford (The worst after the whole episode with Barcelona), Mount, Martinez and De Ligt and several others (add Dorgu) tells you that we are not ruthless at all. I think this is the one area we need to improve on if the new manager must succeed.

Wilcox was Academy Director at Man City before going to Southampton for 1 yr. We employed him as Technical Director which was 1 step above his role at Man City. Questionable but maybe still okay. We then promoted him to Director of Football which was 2 steps above his role at Man City.

Employ football people does not mean employ incompetent or inexperienced football people. There were several names of experienced and respected people that had been mentioned here for years (some are now at Arsenal and PSG) but instead we went for a very inexperienced one and promoted him beyond his ability and who is now looking incompetent.

This was the executive version of rejecting experienced and respected managers and going for a Championship manager in Carrick.

INEOS best in class is a fraud scheme, whether it is buying players, appointing managers, or employing executives.

Cunha has always had inconsistent work rate since his Wolves days. He had one of the highest walking percentages in the league in his last season with Wolves.

He presses when he wants and walks when he wants and it is not about how critical the situation is but how his mood is at that moment.

He lacks tactical discipline as well.

But none of this is new if we are being honest. Wolves fans said all these when we bought him,

Leyqute:
Magwaya played a decent role in like 2 to 3 of the 4 goals conceded.

Hehehe. E talk say played a decent role. 😁😁😁

Lana1:
See as Dalot pave way for attacker. If I start on his case now they'll say Madrid is interested in him.

BEST DEFENDING OF THE WEEK GOES TO DIOGO DALOT✅

ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT🤩🤩🤩 pic.twitter.com/HNoZ2YFmQm

— Now Football (@Nowfootball) October 19, 2026

Na manager go still chop blame when next we concede from his brainless defending and they'll tell us the player was not the problem here

Instead of you to sope tie that he did not cause a penalty there you are attacking him. 😁😁😁

izzou:
Omoh

See as France turn upside down overnight

Na wa!

It is not overnight. The signs have been there for a while. The society is unstable and mass immigration is one of the major factors responsible. Also France has a well established tradition of protests, revolutions, revolts, coups unlike many other Western European countries.

Germany, UK, Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands, etc also have to watch their steps. These countries are susceptible to imploding from the inside.

LostMyZeal:
Well, you make a fair point. But me thinks Lammens nor sabi shoot ball find him teammates. I think he's better suited to playing ground balls. What he did against Leeds yesterday put us under pressure for real.

I've seen him hoof the ball to no man's land in several games and it's so frustrating

You guys are both correct. What you guys have observed is a conundrum. One of the myriad of problems strangling the team.

Basically, because we have a poor tactical set up we can’t pass out readily from the back, forcing us to use long kicks by a keeper whose long kicks are inaccurate. Our solution to the initial problem is to create another problem.

The Law of Conservation of Problem. Man Utd’s problems can never be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

dreamxhaser:
Just look at this nonsense lineup

That formation you have up there is wrong. Are you not watching the match?

raumdeuter:
Wardley no even dey try at all

Moja mosa la fin mo akinkanju loju ogun. Akinkanju to ba moja ti ko mosa a ba ogun lo.

Make una pity the man. He has post-retirement plans.

Everlasting oily tears. 😁😁😁

Kilishihunter:
So man u would just lose JJ Gabriel without a fight? I know his father is crazy and is pushing his son out but if the demands are like this at this stage what then happens if the kid goes on to fulfill his potential. The vardrid that will even sign him would first send him straight to Castilla before he even thinks of battling vini or mbappe for a position just like endrick

The father has a plan mapped out in his head for the boy and Manchester United is not part of it. I am often critical of the club but in this case I don’t think there is anything the club could have done to keep him outside winning back to back EPLs and a UCL title.

The father does not think we are presently big, successful, or glamorous enough. All the reasons they gave for wanting to leave are just excuses. Like you alluded to, if he joins Madrid he might not smell the 1st team for 2 years. The father can only try those nonsense demands with us.

That Kana-Biyik boy is not a good player at all. Our U-21 scouts need eye transplant cos they have been scouting mediocre players.

BlueRayDick:
Reading this, one would think they are describing Santi Carzola or Ousman Dembele who are actually two footed fotballers that are highly skilled using both right and left foot.

Semenyo dey GBA with his fake left foot abeg!

Shebi I told you that someone has been lying to him. Na internet dey deceive Semenyo. Genuinely and equally ke? 😁😁😁

BlueRayDick:
It's just so annoying to watch even as a neutral fan. Even if his fellow players are scared to tell him , the manager supposed fit tell him to stop the rubbish and play with his natural foot.

The guy wan play inverted winger by force with fake inversion.

We also need to remember that Martinez contract is up at the end of the season,

I suspect that he has not been offered an extension (most likely by Wilcox) and he decided to firebomb everything 😂😂😂

MRTA7:
Lets not forget Lisandro. His comments today were right because he would not be starting for any serious club with big ambitions. Only so long you can depend line breaking passes from the defence when you're an average defender on a good day.

Oh he is one of them just that the others have been here for so long. Shaw since LVG, Dalot since Mourinho, Maguire since Ole.

But you are absolutely correct. In a situation where money wasn’t an issue, they would all be up for replacement.
