Na Fred cause that second goal. Shaw was out of position after marking an opponent. Instead of tracking the run of the attacker, Fred went ahead to mark the same opponent. That resulted in the pass to the dude who assisted the goal.
You sabi. Fred be like zombie wey Fela sing about. He often chases after the ball brainlessly instead of maintaining shape and his fans hail him "sai baba, sai baba".

He left a man in the box to go and double mark a man outside the box with Shaw.

Anytime you try to spite Woodward, remember he gave 80m to Ole and our "progressive Tactician" used it to buy Maguire.
Nitrogen please as a board member come and tell this man that managers don't negotiate transfer fees.

But Doc. How Ole did not see that James is a terrible player i dont know. How is that guy a man united player. We dis Lingard and want to offliad him, but honestly James is not better than Lingard
You sometimes trust scout who have watched hours of tape or have watched live matches or training sessions. Or you trust your ex-teammate who is the player's national team manager.

James is fast and works hard and obviously tries hard. However he lacks the one thing in football you can't learn i.e football intelligence.

Bailly handled the ball because he decided to be a traffic warden at that point
Like i said. You never accept criticism of Fred. The guy attempted a no look aerial pass into his own box against a team with fast pressing attackers but you are looking for who to blame.

The pass wasn't the best of pass, never said so. Fred wasn't wrong to attempt to pass back to his keeper, he was only wrong for such kind of pass. But that's not what he's being accused of. He's accused of trying to pass to the keeper at all, when that was obviously a viable option
If he had passed a grounder Bailly won't have handled the ball, he is neither a crocodile nor a duck-billed platypus. The handball was because of the hospital pass by Fred.

James has his issues, but Martial on his bad day(s) literally makes one wonder if there are actually 11 players on the pitch.

Immediately Martial got subbed, the oldie came in and made an instant impact.
You have changed the narrative. I was not comparing Martial to Cavani. You were the one comparing Martial to James. I am not Martial's greatest fan but comparing him to James is like comparing a butcher to a surgeon.

DDG wasn't in danger
You just like defending Fred every time, whether he is wrong or not. Who passes such a high ball back towards goal?

GloryIsaac:
You misspelt Martial.
Calm down. No dey compare sleep to death.

If Martial leaves his boots on the pitch those boots will still be smarter and have more impact than Daniel James.

In other words i would rather play Martial's boots than Daniel James himself.

He can bring Cavani on for James and Pogba for one of the 2 holding midfielders.

That ball no suppose beat De Gea sef... he didn't take a step before diving.
Anything De Gea gives us these days is jara. I don't trust him, i don't expect anything from him, and i am never surprised when a ball beats him.

Nobody talk in that team
If someone had talked earlier maybe the goal would have been prevented.

2nd half Amaka should take off either McTom or Fred and bring on Pogba.

Haha, a team full of ‘lambasters’ won’t help. Let the coaching crew do the lambasting.

We are in 2020, not 1990.
A team full of loafers and big time charlies won't help either. We need a few "lambasters".

Players miss chances every time na.....shey Bruno sef no dey make mistakes?
When he makes such ridiculous mistakes another senior player should lambast him. If he reacts to it then we can criticize him.

Fergie's teams of the 90s was full of leaders who held one another accountable.

With the way we played against Everton, I hope we're able to impose ourselves very early in the game and control the game for most of the match
With Leicester, controlling the game for long spells might actually be counter-productive. The more your CBs move forward the more space you are leaving for Vardy to run into, and once your forwards start misfiring you will be on a long thing.

It might actually be better to allow them get their fair share of possession and hit them in transition.

Any which way na the 3 points dey important sha.

Words can have different mean when used in different context.
In that context Bruno has high standards of himself and he expects other to conform to that standard and when they don't he gets angry.


I have seen that usage of "Prima donna" used for Bruno in an article I read on The althetic.
Exactly right. The word may or may not be used in a derogatory manner depending on the context. We often use it for the former though.

To be honest Bruno is the only prima donna in that team. The last time we had that kind of player was Ronaldo
I meant prima donna in terms of an arrogant and undisciplined person who overstates their importance, hates criticism and/or fails to work as part of a team or under direction.

Bruno is a great team player and I have not seen evidence that he does not work well under direction or criticism. And very significantly I don’t think he overstates his importance to the team. The eye test and numbers don’t lie. He is that important.

It is squad players like Lindelof and Matic who are overstating their importance and obviously hate to be corrected or criticised.

I agree with nitrogen in that human nature means some of his team mates who lack his drive and envy his success might gang up against him and divide the dressing room.

Ole had better give him an official role or tell him to criticise behind closed doors.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 2:52am On Dec 26, 2020
Nitrogen has a point in that if it keeps eliciting such angry response from his teammates he should tone it down a little bit and do it privately.

It is either that or Ole gives him authority by naming him Captain or Vice-Captain because this generation of prima donna players is as soft as wet toilet paper.

David Alaba is available, that's a good option and I hope our board has plans. Rojo and Jones will be shown the door this season.

@afrodoc2 what do you think of this Conceido guy? I like his speed and passing. also seem to have a decent shot on him.
I don’t trust YouTube clips, especially those from farmers leagues.

Remember that all those clips you are seeing are against players that are part of the dregs of footballing society.

it's keeping the players on their toes. Bruno is like the on pitch manager and this club used to have 3 or 4 of such.
when a player performs at a consistently high level, I think he's earned the right. we don't need a team of sissies anymore.
Keane, Neville, Rio, Rooney, Evra, Schmeichel, VDS, Vidic barked at any teammate slacking and they received their dose too when appropriate. these were individuals who hated losing.
Too many softies in the team. Bruno has done less than half what Schmeichel did, not to talk of players like Hughes, Cantona, Hughes et al.

He is desperate to win while players like Matic, Lindelof are desperate to collect their weekly paycheck.

Everybody shouting mediocrity mediocrity, few weeks ago, nobody dey reason us challenging for the title oo. Few positive results now and everywhere don burst.
Even OLE said no title talk now till around March April. One game at a time folks.
When i said this we were 9th on the table. Expecting us to challenge for the title is not based on a few positive results but on the quality of the squad compared to other squads.

afrodoc2:
His record in terms of wins and points is not up to what i expect considering the players he has.

What is more worrying is the quality and style of football which seems to be more instinctive than actually tactically constructed.

If you play good football and have good players you are more likely to win games because what you are doing is reproducible.

If your football is not really good but your players are good OR if your football is good but your players are average you get inconsistency.

I expect us to compete for the title this season and even if we don’t win it at least come close.

I also expect a deep Champion’s League run to QF or SF stages.
