Thanks for the correction. It's Babylon present day Iraq I guess, while Assyria were the ones that conquered the 10 lost tribes of Israel.

Exactly.

Assyria is present day northern Iraq. Babylonia was central to southern Iraq.

The Assyrians were the bullies of the ancient world.

Sportsweb:
Are you sure? Persia Conquered Judah/Judea and marched everybody to Perspolis in Persia as slaves

Wrong.

Neo-Babylonian Empire conquered Judah and deported them (along with other conquered peoples) to Mesopotamia. The Persians then conquered the Neo-Babylonian Empire and allowed most of the deported peoples (including the Jews) to return back to their homelands.

Can she make this argument when the argument she's making is she wasn't granted an exception to commit crimes?

This Under-21 coach is not doing well at all.

Oasis007:


....he is retained to help transitioning academy players to first team.

Na scam.

We have an Academy Director Nick Cox, who has done an amazing job by the way.

We have a Technical Director Jason Wilcox.

We have a Sporting Director Dan Ashworth.

What is Fletcher’s job title? How does that title give him the responsibility of transitioning academy players to the first team?

Leyqute:
Darren Fletcher survives.

Maybe he indeed is Fergie's son. You can't sack father and son together. O wrong nau!.

GloriousGbola:
the lady looks like she can ascend to ride in a top position

My oga i know nothing about "riding" in a top position. You can ascend to a top position, but riding once you get there?

Now, that's tough.

BlueRayDick:
Na so! U will teach her human anatomy as a consultant and mentor that u are na

Let us compose ourselves here. This is a serious matter. Someone's source of livelihood is being targeted because of a simple opinion.

Roland17:
Thunder where are you when I need you? Wetin do una own academy? Abi na sickbay specialists una dey raise there?

We don't raise much there, just 2 Ballon d'Or winners, 85yrs unbroken of academy graduates in the matchday squad, with our academy graduates having played the most minutes in premier league history, won the most FA Youth Cups in history, and current Under-18 premier league champions averaging 4.8 goals per game.

We are successful but greedy. Hmmm, maybe we are successful because we are greedy.

BlueRayDick:
Nowadays I’m beginning to think maybe some people are paid to hate or to create narratives of hates around people on twitter just to distract others from even having time to hold government accountable? 🤦‍♂️

The level of bile people are willing to throw at other people over their personal opinion that doesn’t agree with theirs is just crazy mehn!

From what I’ve seen thus far, this lady made a very harmless post complaining about Lagos being smelly ( which is a fact for anybody who has breathed-in air in Lagos and other states ) , but someone is tagging Lagos state government(her employers ) and calling for her sack .

I mean I’ve been to Rivers state and I can decide to rant about how air in PH is heavy with soot and all. Should that suddenly be a reason for one to get sacked ? 🤷‍♂️

It’s only hate that will make you to start calling for the sack of someone over their personal opinion that is true . I mean if u go to Idumota between 5am to 7am, u will literally meet a dung hill of refuse by the foot of the bridge smelling very early in the morning . Is it now a sin to say things the way they are ? Now she's getting scary calls over an innocent opinion she shared on her page

This is very wicked and uncalled for from those attacking her.

She looks very responsible and like someone that knows how to work very hard. I am also willing to invite her over and mentor her in the healthcare industry. I just don't know if she will be happy to work Down Under.

engrelvis:
V been watching Gyokeres matches recently.Besides being better than Rasmus in terms of first touches he more direct n aggressive.Rasmus is too nice for a striker.

Yes, Gyokeres is currently better in practically every aspect but stylistically they are similar. The main reason Gyokeres is more direct and aggressive is that he knows his players will find him with juicy passes when he makes those runs. Rasmus on the other stopped making those runs when Garnacho, Dalot, Rashford and dem preferred to shoot from distance than look for him.

Gyokeres touch also helps because it helps him keep the ball better when driving at defenders. Rasmus' first touch is so poor that i don't know if he will develop as hoped even under Amorin but i believe that because he is similar to Gyokeres, Amorin will likely start with him as CF and take it from there.

engrelvis:
Hmm.. some players will v to go. Do you think Gnarcho n Rasmus will improve under dis man ? considering his style n pattern of play. We need strikers dt can b banging in goals regularly.

Let us wait and see how good of a coach he will be when he comes.

Some players will adapt while others will not. Rasmus style is not too far from Gyokeres' style, just that Gyokeres is more polished and better at this stage. If Rasmus can work on his first touch, he stands a chance.

MRTA7:
I worry for Rashford in this. I dont think he'll work in this formation.

Unless he gets used as one of the main strikers with Rasmus and Zirkzee.

Let's see sha

From what I have read, usually Amorin plays two 10s in attack supporting the CF but occasionally he plays one 10 and one narrow winger to support the CF.

Rashford can be an option for the CF position and can also be an option as the narrow winger but you are right that he is not a natural fit for Amorin’s formation.

I am actually interested in seeing how well Amorin is able to handle improve individual players and how well he is able to transmit training ground activity to match day performance.

Some players will surprise us with how well they adapt and others will struggle as well.

Another question that I have is where Mainoo will fit in all these. The 2 CMs in Amorin’s formation seem to require more work rate and less technical skill. Maybe Mainoo might be one of the 10s but he can also be one of the 2 CMs but needs to improve his stamina and work rate.

Oasis007:
Ruben Amorim after Sporting's victory over Braga: "I know how I'm going to play at the beginning. We have to start with a structure that we know and then adapt with the players we have, the injuries, the characteristics, the ability to defend, attack. I'll find out in the next few weeks. I need to present something I know very well.

3-4-3 it is then.

Vischy:
Ruud van Nistelrooy has been amazing as a man united interim coach that l now feel amorim appointment was rushed.

What are your thoughts on this matter? patrickmufc ,afrodoc

He should go elsewhere to prove himself to make us miss him more. Ole has taught us all a very beneficial lesson.

By the end of his time here ETH was so bad that almost anybody would have made us play better. No tactical masterpieces were needed from Ruud, just good man management and common-sense decisions like giving more minutes to your most skilled winger and playing a more compact midfield so that people are not running through your midfield like diarrhea.

patrickmuf:
Hehehe...

The guy's short and medium range passing is still iffy. He messed up a few easy passes today but more than made up for it with his tackling and pressing. If we are to challenge for titles soon though he has to improve on the passing, otherwise it would be another Herrera situation.

akwesenana:
Do you see any scenario where Zirkzee starts ahead of Hojlund.

Only if Rasmus completely flops and becomes unplayable.

CapitalCee:
Today’s Substitutions and the times they were made shows ETH wasn’t listening to Van Nistelrooy

Even the treatment of Amad under both of them.

ETH's head collected ibode.

CapitalCee:
At least he has Ugarte his former Lieutenant as a starter. Na that Striker Position remain

Rasmus is very similar stylistically to Gyokeres.
Let us see if he can help him.

I think the positions he would struggle to fill are the 2 WB positions.

CapitalCee:
Ugarte my Man of the match.

Although they give am Bruno

Yeah Ugarte was the guy.

Still want to see more before i apologise. 😀

If Amorin is who people believe he is, and he sticks to his principles, this team should improve considerably.

Ellexy:
Why Garnacho dey vex?

Ask maik and his goons.

akwesenana:
What do you think would be our lineup with Amorim sir?

GK: Onana
RCB: Yoro
CCB: de Ligt
LCB: Martinez
CM 1: Ugarte
CM 2: Mainoo
RWB: Dalot
LWB: Mazraoui
RWF: Amad
LWF: Bruno
CF: Rasmus

Possibility of a winger like Garnacho or Antony taking one of the WB spots and Casemiro starting ahead of Mainoo for now.

maik99:
I'm assuming the chances creation will be from the wings?

The two narrow WFs/AMs who support and flank the CF and then the WBs.

I have not watched his teams play but just watched loads of tactical breakdowns from different sources.

This Fatawu na problem sha.

maik99:
If Ugarte continues like this it appears our midfield is good too

He will most likely do even better in Amorin's double pivot midfield. Based on reports he likes his 2 CMs to be workers and not tempo setters.
Additionally, Ugarte is used to his tactics.

CapitalCee:
Ugarte de mark ball make we no lie

The guy did well today. His passing still needs work but the pressing and tackling he was bought for was in full display today.

CapitalCee:
Dalot no get at all, the guy fit de play, Like Liecester over 0.5 for this game

Take him out. Move Martinez to LB and Mazraoui to the RB with Evans at CB.

This Dalot must be gambling on United games.

CapitalCee:
Musialla should support Palistine abeg

He go too make sense.

CapitalCee:
Mazraoui is too cheap at 12m . Why did Bayern sell him?

1) Recurrent fitness/health issues.

2) Bold Pro-Palestine stance.
