If he joins a rival and makes it to the top the scouts will be blamed. Fans can be very impatient.

You know as e dey go. You can't with one hand criticize Garnacho and Zirkzee for not being talented enough and with the other hand criticize the club for buying a player said to be the most talented in his position in years.

engrelvis:
At dis stage we don't want any generational talent in d person of Yoro. l DNT really understand his hype. Gnarcho shud b loan out. zirkee shud b outright sale. I like ugarte esp when he partner caesimiro in dt midfield.

This is very reactionary. You don't really understand his hype but how many of his games have you watched? It is better to wait and see if the hype is worth it. Unless you are ready to rule him out after 90 mins of play coming from an injury and in a new league, with a curtailed preseason.

We sometimes have to take calculated risks in order to avoid a Haaland or Caicedo situation. We can't just be buying for the present season alone and Yoro might even be ready to be a starter now.

You don't want generational talent. Maybe it is generational mediocre players that you want.

MRTA7:
I didn't say they weren't decent. I'm just asking if its the best use of 200m.

60m for de Ligt and Mazraoui was decent business.

For Lenny Yoro it’s a wait and see game. They say he is a generational talent so we need to see what happens there.

We overpaid for Ugarte though. PSG sold him for the same amount of money they bought him for, after he flopped with them. Makes no sense.

timbros:
Which finals? is it not only 2006 UCL final Henry played with them? The rest na local finals.

I don't think it's a finals something. Him get another beef with Henry

Henry flopped 2000 UEFA Cup Final vs Galatasaray where old Hagi showed him boss level and 2001 FA Cup Final vs Liverpool where Michael Owen showed him oga levels.

Rebels in Damascus.

Apparently you don’t even need to Mossad the Assad, after all . 😂😂😂

TrebleChamp:
Could even be that their is clash of interest between him and Amorim as regards the list of summer or January signing. Maybe Ashworth has lined up average British players like Longstaff to sign 😁.

Another angle.

Nezzjnr:
You no dey disappoint

The guy is strange.

nitrogen:
Well, a full sale won’t happen as it means they leave or maintain a minority stake. The owners will decide when to exit. Everything football is now in someone else’s hands. That should be okay no?

I am just correcting you on saying they gave the fans what they wanted. That is incorrect. They did not do that.

What is okay or not okay is beside the point. We are all experiencing the effects.

nitrogen:
Glazers wey get sense, gave the fans what they wanted and are now watching from afar. If things don’t pick up anytime soon, they will be back at the driving seat. I guess that’s why Ineos is also kind of under pressure. Man Utd is a complex entity!

The fans actually wanted a full sale to Sheikh Jassim. Full sale to INEOS was second.

Partial sale to INEOS with the Glazers’ leprous fingers still in the club was NOT what the fans wanted.

Leyqute:
Nah. This guy deserved to be sacked.

But can’t we use his contacts at least for the January TW?

I suspect it was Berrarda that saved us from appointing Southgate cos Brailsford does not know much about football.

Leyqute:
A clash of ideas? So they didn’t know this is the kind of person he was before they hired him?

Or did Ashworth change his fundamental ideas or what? INEOS

Yeah, it does not suggest competence or due diligence but let’s farabale for now.

Let us relax and watch how things pan out. After they extended ETH I put them on fraud watch.

I will follow my code and give them until next summer transfer window. They have 2 windows to prove their supporters right or their doubters right.

Leyqute:
Exactly why I think the timing is wrong. They can always sack him after January. Mixing business with personal feelings usually doesn’t end well.

If there is a clash of ideas they should sack him before he spends the club’s money on players that might not fit the direction of the club.

nitrogen:
Lol. Confirm kwa? People are saying clash of personalities is the issue. Plus, heard he wanted Southgate but the CEO and others agreed to hire Amorim.

He wanted Southgate?



Leyqute you dey read this?

Anybody who wants to appoint Southgate as coach needs to go, like yesterday.

larride:
If this is true, he deserve the sack then.

That is what i heard. Only nitrogen can confirm. Meanwhile INEOS fraud watch continues. Let us see how they will handle this issue.

Itsrm:
It all makes sense now. A better passer would have found Ugarte or Maino regardless of the way Forest set up.

The bolded is a no brainer. Everyone agrees apart from Amorim who is still protecting them in his pressers. Won't be long before he cries out.

He won't really cry out, and he should not. Imagine crying out and not getting new players in, and you then have to depend on the same players you threw under the bus.

All he has to do is complain internally to the management and ask for reinforcement while trying to steady the ship with the otu players he currently has. Crying out to the public won't help him. The public does not buy players.

Leyqute:
Walahi. It seems as if they don’t know what they’re doing. They went into so much hassle to get Ashworth but in 5 months believe he’s not the one for them? Reeks of Glazers

Glazers would have kept him on for a minimum of 10 years. Let us watch how things pan out. Hopefully they get someone in quickly. January transfer window should not go to waste.

odizeey:
TenHag has sacked this man.

Something people could see easily.

He sacked himself. He was the one who convinced SJR to extend ten Hag.

nihilistjnr:
Ladies Love conking his head.

Ladies Love Conking James.

Itsrm:
I noticed Forest had one guy permanently positioned in front of Urgate and another beside Maino whenever utd tried playing out from the back.

The first goal came from a triangle that bypassed the guy in front of Ugarte and freed him. Wonder why the players never attempted it again when it worked so well the only time they did.

de Ligt is very risk averse and seems not to trust his own passing. Ugarte is not the person to receive the ball in those situations because he just does not have that technicality. Mainoo has to do more off the ball in terms of his movement and offering angles to receive the ball.

The midfield did not do too badly actually. We had 72% possession and had 17 shots with 7 on target. Forest had 28% possession and had 11 shots with only 3 on target. The problem was that they scored from all their shots on target.

IMO the system is actually not bad. It is just that some of the personnel have to be changed for better players.

patrickmuf:
Pass to who? When Bruno showed up, he passed for our first goal. Please go back and watch the game, Mainoo and Ugarte have to do better.

You are both right.

de Ligt has to do better cos Maguire progressed the ball better when he came on.

Mainoo and Ugarte also have to better, especially Mainoo because Ugarte does not appear to have it in him to collect the ball in tight spaces between the lines. Mainoo can do it but his off the ball movement to get in position to receive the ball has to improve.

Just look at Onana. 😂

nitrogen:
Short and hot tempered. lol. Very rash guy.

The problem is that he is not tall and he is not fast.
Very bad combo for a CB

Gucciboy:
Why come to a gunfight with BAZOOKA

I am sorry sir.

Ibime:
Why didn't they tell us our oga Balthazar is free and his wife has forgiven him and even took him on vacation

A true pïmp never stay down for long

The game is to be sold not told!

In the olden days they would have elevated Balthazar to godhood in his own time like happened with Phillip and Alexander the Great.
The Ancient Greeks called it Apotheosis.

Balthazar the Great. 1st of his name. Victor ludorum. Mentorius imperious.

everton4life:
Are you sure it's man UTD that lost? This one wey na assnal fans dey wail pass?

Assanal fans know they will win nothing at the end of the season, which is why they focus on mini trophies like the Christmas Cup aka top of the league at Christmas, New Year's Cup aka top of the league in January, Easter Cup aka top of the league in March, and the We Deserved To Win The Match/Title Cup aka we play the best football trophy.

The delusion of grandeur within them is unparalleled in the whole universe.

BlueRayDick:
No, u said u reduced us to corner kicks as if we didn't score corner kick against u last season in the same game Gabriel Jesus dribble Dalot soul commot him body.

We've been scoring corner kicks against teams and they didn't whine about it. If u are not good enough to stop arsenal corner kicks just accept it and move on.

We played 13 corners against Inter Milan(exact same number against Man utd) and we didn't score any .

Baba just chest the L and move on. Like iamoyindamola suggested, please take the positives from the game(whatever that is)

Bro that his statement did not need the epistle you dropped.

It wasn’t even an attack on Assanal but just drawing some positives for our team from the game.

If anything, it was showing respect to Assanal that we were able to somewhat limit the chances of a free scoring side like you guys.

nitrogen:
Only an irrational person would be angry for this loss. It was expected. We can’t really do well against big teams at this stage. We just focus on getting all three points against small and mid table clubs. We will make top 6 or 8 by doing just that.

100%.

All the coach can do for now is try to slowly implement his pattern while identifying those who don’t fit his style or quality requirements.

The main thing is for us to pick up enough points to finish in a respectable position this season, while his process goes on.

Greatest gaslight of all time.

MRTA7:
There's no way Yoro should be playing his first competitive game for us as a start away at Arsenal. I would expect the coaching staff to ease him in.
I think I'd rather your lineup with Maguire in the middle. MDL can play the RCB with Maz as LCB because Arsenal's Right side is their main attacking strength with Odegaard and Saka attacking from there. Either way, I just dont want a hammering because I still see signs that we susceptible to giving up some easy chances and a good team would punish us severely.

Yeah. Yoro should be eased in slowly.

MRTA7:
Seems like we might have to rollout Evans again. Not sure how sharp Maguire's fitness is but him or Evans defending that left side of the 3 man defence against Saka sounds like a disaster.

Evans must not be placed on that side.

We can use any of the following combinations:

1) de Ligt (RB), Maguire (CB), Maz (LB)

2) Yoro (RCB, de Ligt (CCB), Maz (LCB)

even

3) Dalot (RCB), de Ligt (CCB), Maz (LCB)

Or if Amorin is feeling lucky

4) Maz (RCB), de Ligt (CCB), Kukonki (LCB).
