dayokanu: Maybe when you look at the different component you would see that Boateng bosses Kompany in key aspect of a defenders game which include tackle, clearancesBoateng makes more tackles and commits more fouls than Kompany cos he is not smart enough to position himself properly. Kompany's superior intelligence and positioning is evident from his superior stats in interceptions and offsides won |
dayokanu: Maybe when you look at the different component you would see that Boateng bosses Kompany in key aspect of a defenders game which include tackle, clearances you are very correct, i forgot that Kompany was 4 men...... after all he is a COMPANY ![]() |
Well according to whoscored.com in the champion's league Kompany has been better than Boateng, and this has been a poor season for Kompany going by his usual standards. OVERALL PLAYER RATING..........Kompany 7.15 Boateng 6.74 tackle per game ....................Kompany 1.5 Boateng 1.8 interceptions/game................ Kompany 3.5 Boateng 2.3 fouls per game.......................Kompany 0.5 Boateng 0.8 offsides won.........................Kompany 2.5 Boateng 1.2 clearances/game...................Kompany 3 Boateng 4.5 |
Rooney did very well today and was crucial to our control of the midfield, however needs to improve his short passing....especially through passes. Too many red lines in and around the opposition 18 yard box |
coded guy: You guys will understand when we meet a top team in europe, Bayern, Madrid, Barca.this is not an anyhow victory. it was a well deserved victory and the boys played very well. we should not become negative and criticize all the time. p.s nobody is saying we are at the level we should be playing at yet, however this was an encouraging display |
Leyqute: Oga cool down na. Do u want to wear down the players after one match ni. 3 points from a game doesn't extend to the next match.correct joo meanwhile buttner is the king of i.d.i.o.t.s see how he went to sleep and played cole onside |

The guy's stubborn and hard headed attitude finished him. I have never seen a more obstinate manager when it comes to tactics and team selection. 1) playing a congested style of play already he then persisted in playing a right footed left back behind a right footed left winger so they could further congest the midfield and paralyze their own wide areas. 2) persisting with an out of sorts soldado when he had the option of giving defoe a run in the EPL or even switching to a 2 man attack for certain matches. 3) playing lots of brawn but little creativity in midfield with dembele,sando,paulinho. with eriksen out he could have tried sigurdsson,lamela or even holtby more in the position behind the striker. |
nitrogen: Elamps baba, Rooney's ass licker, your god is nothing but zero upfront, okay, let's do it this way: I bet Rooney will be our main striker in our next match (I pray it isn't that way sha), and believe me, we will loose the game or play a draw, watch out o!haba! na fight? |
coded guy: When your blood dey hot just because you heard/read rooneys name. You will not calm down to quote the correct post.olololo o ayagayagayagayo ooodont mind elampiro, na excitement say we finally beat a team wella. all our body hot |
Meanwhile its going to be really challenging getting into this top 4 mehn! Even if our form improves markedly there is no team in the current top 4 that will let go easily |
This AVB is solidifying his reputation as a waste pipe of a a manager. Always felt his Porto success was an anomaly and he has proved that with his exploits at Chelsea and Spurs. |
Fingers crossed that Fletcher stays healthy. He might have lost some pace but positionally he is superior to almost anybody we have in that position. His experience and leadership would also come in handy |

GustavoFring: I strongly disagree.I also strongly disagree.I seriously doubt that the pick up games in the UK are more vicious than some of the "jeun jeun" games we played back in Nigeria. If u also played in some areas of the North u would have seen crunching tackles hailed and fractures occurring regularly. I am talking about those games with no refs and the only foul recognized is a handball. Having said all that the emphasis should be on the refs being adequately equipped to carry out their jobs properly especially in punishing bad tackles and recklessness. Encouraging players to dive is a slippery slope and it is not the correct way to go. Most of this diving takes place when there is little or no contact. These recalcitrant cheats are in no way or form avoiding bad tackles or protecting themselves they, they are just looking for easy penalties and other ways to hoodwink the officials. If homo sapiens could play for 15-20 years in the days of Chopper Harris, Billy Bremner,Norman Hunter and co what stops them from playing good football these days. Most of this diving is just pure dishonesty, how many of Suarez and Young's dives have been for bad tackles? Referees already punish tackling to the point that tackling is now an endangered skill in football. So there is no need to flop all over the place all in the name of protecting yourself. |
I did not watch the match but that did look like a dive to me not a penalty AND the sending off was not harsh. Diving has to be eradicated from this game and there should be a zero tolerance policy. Anybody here who has ever played competitive football at any level would be irritated by the ease with which these "giripa" men fall to the ground, its irritating. Continue giving red cards to Suarez, Ashley Young and their followers......sooner or later they will start staying on their feet. |
English league has 3 teams with multiple European Cups/UCL and 12 in total Serie A has 3 teams with multiple titles and i believe 11 in total La Liga has 2 teams with multiple titles and 13 in total The day your league has more than 1 multiple winner and your title count clocks double digits instead of the mere 7 it is now you will be invited to dine at the big boy's table ![]() |
For the FIRST TIME EVER all 4 Bundesliga teams made it to the knock out stages, that is pure water to EPL teams and even La Liga and Serie A The Bundesliga is an up and coming league but not at par with the EPL |
It is good how you keep going back to to the season that Bayern and Dortmund had LAST SEASON. Dortmund is already sliding this season, it takes more than one season for us to know they are here to stay. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE? The performances of the Bundesliga and the Dutch league in the European Cup/UCL are almost identical, it is normal to classify them below the historically top level performers like EPL, La Liga and Serie A. ![]() Or with score of 6-2 in matches and 21-8 in goals ( not to forget the Mess executed on Bayer) do u think the Bundesliga presently has more depth in quality than the EPL? ![]() |
What people are saying DK and patiently trying to explain to you is that although Bayern Munich have a great team and Borussia Dortmund have a good team too the Bundesliga as a whole has been historically AVERAGE (check the post above this one) and at present it is still AVERAGE ( check 2 posts above). Once again the criticism is not about Bayern or Dortmund but when one team is great and a second team is very good but the other SIXTEEN teams are rubbish one can come to no other conclusion but that the league is pretty FECAL to say the least. I can't think of any EPL team that my dear Man Utd as presently constituted under Gollum "the clueless" could have walloped 5-0 in such a comprehensive manner, in their home ground to boot......and that team is second in your highly esteemed league? |
afrodoc: If you want to look at it historically more teams from England have won the European Cup/UCL than German teams. I think the score is 12 to 7 titles and 5 to 3 different clubs both in favour of EPL. |
JayKayMaybachz: In this year's Champions League, there |
chrisley024: Young should continue his beasting on d bench olololoooo he must have been removed for his beastly performance ![]() |
coogar: i can bet all of them came against leverkusen.Is Rooney the only person getting paid? Why are you fixated on his 250k? Maybe you should cast your salary screening net a bit wider. Have you compared how much Ashley Young and Nani get compared to Adam Llallana? Or how much Cleverley and Anderson get paid compared to Ross Barkley? Have you compared what Moyes is getting paid compared to Pochettino or Martinez? Rooney leads the team in most of the attacking stats that really matter and in overall player rating. He is 4th in the EPL in goals scored, 3rd in assists and 7th in overall player rating ( the only Man Utd player in the top 20) meaning only 6 players in the whole league have had better seasons so far. So how can it be that of all the players in the team it is the only player that is at the top of most of the performance indices that you blame. What about the other millionaires collecting 70k,80k per week and stinking up the place like skunks? |
Wayne Rooney is being paid 250k per week, thats true but are the other guys in the team working for free? They should chip in! Rooney in the EPL leads the team in the following 1) Goals..............8 2) Assists............5 3) Key Passes....2.2 per game 4) Player Rating...7.62 And he is near the top in the whole league for these stats. If one is to criticize any player at United for not performing or if we are looking for one player to blame i don't think it should be Rooney |
elampiro: RVP can play in the hole. That is what Rooney haters have told us in the past.LOL i see unlike previous matches nobody blamed the man in the hole for the defeat this time around. There is too much beef on this thread. RVP is a better finisher than Rooney, Rooney is better than him in the hole. |
Oghos1: they are too similarplay them in a double pivot with strootman to the left and herrera to the the right. the pjanic that i know can not play in central midfield for us, he would just be another player to share the playmaking position with rooney and kagawa. AND that we dont need. we need strength and quality in defensive/central midfield and i think strootman and herrera could give us that, especially strootman who i rate highly. if we have a solid midfield you will see our attacking players blossom. most of our problems both defensively and in attack stem from our inability to dictate play and control possession in midfield |
