Who’s at fault for the first goal conceded- Sancho or Malacia? Malacia. But you need to watch Sancho's response to the situation. Almost every United player and even the referee outran him and got back. I don't actually think he ran back at all. I can understand poor form but lack of effort is unacceptable. |

If he doesn’t get it together this season he should be offloaded. You can’t be struggling for form and also not putting in the minimal effort required. Like I said during preseason this season is make or break for him. For now I will be patient until the season ends. |

Roland17: Fair point because PO has proved his legitimacy as a strong force..
However, Obi is not going to feast on Atiku’s base and cash cows in the North like Obi is doing to APC in the South and that is why I said he being measured and strategic. When you look at Atiku’s campaigns and travels, you will see that he is focused on cementing his base.
APC don’t seem to be handling the PO situation too well. He has successfully distracted them from everything they are supposed to be doing. I was expecting Tinubu and APC to be hitting the North hard by now to disrupt what Atiku is cooking there but they are still trying to show they have secured the South, especially the SW against PO.
I guess they are going to rely on APC structures in power to deliver some numbers in the North. Yeah you are right that APC are getting distracted from what should be their focus. Like Dayo explained however, the only reason this election is still up for grabs is cos of Obi. Atiku vs Tinubu would have been a landslide in favour of the ex-VP. Which is why i am saying this Obi campaign hurts him. The strategy he employs to tackle it is left to him and posterity will determine if he chose the right method. |

Roland17: In my opinion, Atiku is not worried about PO/ LP like APC are. I think APC have become distracted by PO especially in the South, which has given Atiku the opportunity to cement grounds, especially in the North.
Atiku’s campaign looks strategic and measured. The man has analyzed the polity and tendencies and is focusing on his strengths. He has to be concerned. He is just handling it strategically. Openly attacking Obi or his supporters would be a mistake because he won't want to alienate potential supporters. He however wouldn't want the Obi campaign to get out of hand because it will eat into his potential base before it eats into Tinubu's. |

ChristoBam: With the type of disorganized press we've got for now do you think it's advisable to press City defenders. Cuz they'll definitely beat the press and when they do, there isn't a lot left.
The fact that Antony did the same thing as the other two shows it was more of a tactical thing. Rashford has never pressed ever since we've reverted back to the counter attack style. It's basically saving energy for the moment the opportunity arrives to make that run.
A lot of things looked wrong in that game. There was too much of a space between our attack and the rest of the team. They played far from each other also.
The most important thing is, a midfield of Bruno Eriksen and Mctominay away to City was a very terrible idea. Should have been one of Bruno and Eriksen for Casemiro. A lot of people said it but we all thought it's better to go with the winning team. But there's a difference between playing Arsenal at home and playing City at Ethiad. That was very naive. I agree with the part in bold. In retrospect it should have been Casemiro and McTominay and one out of Bruno and Eriksen. In terms of the pressing issue i am not sure that ETH gave clear instructions cos it looked like they didn't know whether to press or to sit back with the effect being they did neither. Nothing can excuse the lack of effort though. Nothing. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 3:21pm On Oct 05, 2022 |
ChristoBam: This is why, apart from Sancho, I didn't really go in on any of our players after the City loss. Pep tactically schooled Ten Hag. I knew there was something wrong about our tactics from the first 5 minutes of the game. It was not only about tactics. There is a good reason Man City does not win every game 5-0 or 6-3. Most teams including the teams in the lower half of the table come prepared to outwork and outhustle the City players because they know that is the only way to avoid suffering a heavy defeat. Apart from using the wrong tactics or poor player selection what struck me the most was the lack of work rate especially from the front 3. They didn't press the defenders and allowed defenders to both pass and travel forwards with the ball. They didn't track the full backs and allowed City to double up on our full backs. They didn't support the midfield. Rashford and Sancho were strolling around like they were on fashion parade. There was an instance when Rashford strolled beside Ake and allowed him to run with the from their 18 yr box until he almost got to ours. Rashford without the ball could not keep up with Ake with the ball! Then you had Eriksen who kept switching off and failed to track midfield runners. These observations are from the first half cos i didn't watch the 2nd half at all so i am not sure how that played out. |
Romance › Re: I Almost Murdered My Girlfriend For Cheating On Me. But GOD Stopped Me. by afrodoc2: 7:40pm On Oct 04, 2022 |
Festus30: I and this girl have been dating over a year. I took her serious, I've sacrifice a lot for her and it made me so heart broken when I noticed she cheated on me reason I almost took her life.
My girlfriend and I live in the same city (Mowe) but I traveled out of the city 2 months ago for work things (ibadan), so around last month she called me that her phone screen (Samsung) is broken, that she's just managing her phone and to fix it is 35k but she already have 15k so she's in need of 20k to complete it. So I sent her 21k.
Fast forward to Friday when I came back to mowe, I went to see her, I saw her holding iphone Xmax. I was like who gave you iPhone? She was just telling me lies upon lies. At first she said she swapped it, then I was like why didn't you tell me you bought iPhone and who gave you money to swap it becus you'll need over 190k to swap. To cut the long story short..
I later found out that a guy bought the phone for her. The 21k I sent to repair her phone, she repaired it and gave it to her younger sis.
I was so heartbroken. For a guy to buy her iphone that means she have been dating and having sex with the guy secretly without me knowing. She has been begging me, calling & texting since Friday but i didn't reply.
She texted me she was coming to my house yesterday. The only word I said to her since on Friday was to meet me in a uncompleted building close to my house yesterday, I have this machanic slege hammer, it's one of my tools I use for working, so I held it while waiting for her.
My plan was the moment she enter the building, just a powerful whiplash on her head and she's dead, I felt so cold inside of me, I was also shaking while holding the hammer and feeling so heartbroken. Then I heard a deep voice inside of me saying "YOU WILL REGRET YOUR ACTIONS" (twice)
Then she called me that she's there, I already sighted her through the window, I came out and I told her to run away and never come back anywhere around me again. She was still begging that she's sorry. And I said if only you know what I'm about to do, you will run.
She left, I just sat on the floor feeling so heartbroken. You wanted to waste your life because a girl cheated on you. Hehehe. Your brain should be donated to the museum of unnatural history. |

Lana1: Maguire vs Smalling. Shít vs Garbage.
Both useless players that should not be playing for Man United. Q.E.D |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 9:42am On Oct 02, 2022 |
Expert17: Maguire is the better passer but we haven't seen this since he joined us... The same Maguire that drags the ball to he direction of his teammate before playing a simple pass.
I have seen top defenders who are bad in passing but have you seen any top defender bad in everything. Offloading smalling was the wrong call because we wasted 80M and haven't move to the imaginary ball-playing defenders. Varane and Martinez are better than both when it comes to passing and both can play high lines. Martinez is actually a very good ball playing defender. Smalling is where he belongs. No top club will go for Zouma with a white mother. Offloading him was the right call. Replacing him with another deeply flawed player was the wrong call. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 9:35am On Oct 02, 2022 |
I really don’t like Maguire o. I can’t remember a worse captain at a top club.
I felt nauseous watching him blame the attack for not scoring more goals in a game that ended 2-2 or so with him being culpable for the goals we conceded.
And it is also now clear that many of those leaks came from either him or his people.
Of all the mistakes Ole made making him captain was probably the worst. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 9:22am On Oct 02, 2022 |
Expert17: Maguire is a better passer, but can you mention 3 situations where we benefited from his ball passing abilities?
We are having the same issue with Maguire. His own is even worst, always blaming others for his mistakes.
Smalling is bad with passes while Maguire is bad in almost everything. Maguire is a better passer. That is not in doubt. Smalling is a better defender. But that is not enough for most top teams now. Players who are solid defenders but awful on the ball belong in mid table. Offloading Smalling was the right call. Buying Maguire was the wrong call. Simplez. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 9:07am On Oct 02, 2022 |
Smalling is Zouma with a white mother. His lack of technique alone makes him anathema for a top club in modern football. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 9:00am On Oct 02, 2022 |
Expert17: True, but he can't be as worst as Maguire VS DDG combo.
That's my point, Smalling is far better than 80M Maguire both in defense and attack. Maguire is a better passer than Smalling. In a situation where teams know we want to pass out from the back and therefore apply a high press Smalling will give worse results. Smalling’s passing was atrocious in the days when teams were not even pressing. He was always passing slightly behind his full back, passing to the wrong foot, over and under hitting passes. Under a high press he will be a bigger catastrophe. This is no pro-Maguire propagandist cos I remember when I said Maguire was shitty passing out from the LCB position and people here were defending him. But both Ralf and ETH made a point of moving him to RCB immediately they got the job. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 8:47am On Oct 02, 2022 |
Expert17: I remember the monikers that argued Maguire is better than Smalling.
How market? Ball playing defender wey no fit play high defensive line footy  To be fair if we consistently tried to play out from the back with DDG and Smalling we would be conceding 2 goals from that alone per game. Purely as a defender Smalling is better than Maguire however I wouldn’t want him anywhere near my team either. |

raumdeuter: Maybe Na tourist offspring dem fit be. For Dominican I heard some of the very dark skinned ones like Africans are those who come from Haiti to work Nah not tourist. The blacks were brought there as slaves. The Spanish (and other whites) were the colonists who brought the blacks over as slaves. The Indians and (to a lesser extent) the Chinese came there as indentured labourers after slave trade ended and many of the blacks started raising shoulder and were not model workers. The Lebanese came there mainly as traders. The relative percentages of these groups varies from island to island. Some islands are almost completely black, others have more of a mulatto population while some have a strong Indian influence. Someone like Rihanna for instance is black/white mix while Nicki Minaj is black/Indian/Chinese mix. |

melodyogonna: Anything more than £40m for Declan Rice I no dey sha. The one about McTominay being of the best performers in the league the past six weeks is only true if the chart I posted don't include the past six, lemme upload it again.
About Casemiro, I pray he does too but that might be a little too optimistic, the guy don age. He was atrocious in the first couple of games. Truly woeful. That would affect his stats for this season. Since Week 3 though he has been good. That is the reason why Casemiro hasn’t been starting. West Ham won’t sell Rice for 40m though he is not worth much more than that. Plus we don’t need him right now. Plus I think he is the midfield Maguire and his limited passing range and immobility would be exposed in a top team. P.S McTominay should be giving part of his salary to Eriksen though. That guy has covered part of his shame. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 8:27am On Oct 01, 2022 |
melodyogonna: The point is that McTominay is one of our best players but compared to other central midfielders in the league he isn't performing very well. I'm wondering about our other players if one of our best dey perform so poorly relative to other players in the same position. Our players really need to step it up.
Edit: Declan Rice won't be a bad purchase if Westham can let him go sha, he's consistently been one of the best DMs in the league. Declan Rice will cost 80m-100m to play CDM the same position we just bought Casemiro for 50m. It makes no sense to spend big on that position when there are other positions of need. Plus Rice is not even worth that fee anyway. He is the midfield Maguire. P.S McTominay is actually one of the better CMs performers in the league over the past 6 weeks. Time will tell if he will revert to his GhosTominay ways or if ETH has performed a miracle on him. We should be praying that Casemiro regains his top level form so we can go get a CM that can either share duties with or replace Eriksen. |
