Goal ball! Ethan Galbraith, dude was the best player on the field too.

Yeah. He was really good. Reminds me of Levitt.

Mengi is always cruising at Under-23 level. The attackers don’t trouble him much.

Elanga is one to watch out for.

I prefer Shoretire in AM. He has technique and progresses the ball well. I don’t think he has the pure pace for the wings.

Fernandez is your typical stylish Spanish full back but not pacy.

2-1. Ethan Galbraith for a penalty won by Williams.

Penariiiiiity

olabode89:
This ref is mad o... Pelistri didn't commit a foul there nau

He come give am yellow card. Wey Everton boys do dey give sliding tackle since.

These under 23 refs have glaucoma.

olabode89:
Omo, Pelistri is small o but his touch and close control are both mint.

Exactly. He needs to hit the gym or else he won’t be ready for 2 yrs.
Elanga strong pass am.

olabode89:
Nice goal by Elanga!!

1 - 1

You are watching. Did you see that our crazy keeper. Hope he didn’t injure himself too badly.

olabode89:
Exactly! even Elanga, see the way he was shrugged off the ball some minutes ago.

Elanga scores. The boy is good but he needs to bulk up a bit.

timay:
Player no dey available for U23

We have 18 yr olds playing for the under 18s why are they playing him at under-23 when he is only 16.
He is not ready physically in my opinion. He struggles to impose himself on the game.

CapitalCee:
Doc abeg which Fernandez be this?

Real Madrid import teenage LB

KingAlabi:
Doc abeg any link?

Oh sorry I don’t know. It is on MUTV.

It seems the club really believes in Shoretire but I think they are promoting him too fast. At 16 he should be playing Under-18 not under-23.

Khaytunechi:


Baba abeg the Fecundo Pellistri de play for our youth team or e just de chill somewhere?
If he's been playing, I hope you've found him promising?

He is about to play for them.


...............Mengi...........Fish...........Rojo..........

...Williams....Galbraith.......Mejbri....Fernandez.....

.........Pellistri..........Elanga.........Shoretire.......

For fans of the youth teams:

Mengi, Dr Rojo, Pellistri playing for the under 23 now.

3-4-3 formation.

raumdeuter:
Dont talk about your senior colleague like that.

Shey Dr Bailly na Cardiologist or Rehabilitation Medicine

Na Orthopedic Surgeon. Igbobi old boy.

He might be temporarily off form, however, he is not worth the amount dortmund is asking. No wonder they don't want any performance based add ons they wanted all the money upfront in this pandemic.

They issue with dortmund is they don't necessarily need sancho in football terms. There is hazaed, Brandt and Reyna all who can replace him, and a lot of players waiting in the academy, first sancho will not improve their fortunes on the field more than what it is now, secondly he has to give way for another youngster to shine so that they can sell for big money as usual. His wages too is too high they will be looking to get him off their books. They thought ED will budge and pay the money asked for, they don't know that ED has changed his style look at what he did to porto for Telles . No team is ready to splash astronomical fee for any player as it doesn't always end well. Dortmund will be very lucky to get the reported 90m that man u bid for him ever again. And they should pray he doesn't get injured or his current form doesn't continue. Moreover from now on he will be scrutinised very closely too due to the long transfer saga

Finally i think we have to commend Ed on not bowing to Dortmund. Imagine them trying to play such hard ball on a player who had no other suitors.

I believe the Maguire 80m deal was the final event that opened Ed's eyes. I just hope he keeps it up going forward.

TrebleChamp:
Shot fired

Nah just facts.

Lagos to Halifax is about 8,000km while Lagos to Perth is about 13,000km.

I think he ship has sailed on Sancho coming for now. We just bought 2 young players that can play RW and they will be given 2-3 yrs to prove themselves.

We can use that money to improve the team elsewhere.

Khaytunechi:
Tor. See receipts. I just wanted to clear his misconception I no know say history dey.

You will meet us, some of us de trek come Aussie while others go swim.

Based on logistics it is easier to swim to places like Canada.

patrickmuf:
I just burst laugh for here...DCL will kill Lindelof no be lie...

That guy get spring for leg. With the added bonus of his height only VVD, Zouma, Maguire dem fit compete with am.

TrebleChamp:
Doc abeg if you get OGS number, tell am to play that 3-5-2 formation and start Tuanzebe at center back biko cos Werner get pace ooh. Ask for the midfield and attack, he can use his church mind to select that one..

We need to beg Nitrogen to contact his fellow board members with this information.

Meanwhile e be like na dat Chelshit fan Martin Atkinson go officiate tomorrow.

engrelvis:
I still believe 3-5-2 formation will suit Chelsea game.We can always change formation if it is nt working out. I just heard Bailey is injured again.

Yeah I agree with you. But in some other matches a different formation might be more suitable.

The Everton match is one that i think a 4-4-2 would be better for. And possibly a Maguire/Tuanzebe partnership. If not Calvert-Lewin will seek Lindelof out and kill him in the air.

Dr Bailly has gone back for his hospital rotation.

engrelvis:
OK.Tuanzebe shud b in our lineup.maquire shud chill

We play a faster tempo and are more compact with Maguire, Matic, Pogba out of the line up.

Maguire and Matic are not special talents so they really have no saving grace. Pogba on the other hand is possibly the most talented person in the whole team and makes up for his lack of defensive mobility with his skills, passing, dribbling, creativity.

I think somewhere down the line Ole should try the 4-4-2 more often for certain games. We have 4 strikers that can rotate the top 2 and we have 6-7 good midfielders that can rotate the midfield 4.

engrelvis:
l think I will support d 3-5-2 formation. Cavani is still nt fit?

I have no idea. Anything can happen. After all Tuanzebe put in a world class performance after being out for almost a year.

Cavani is older and has not played for half a year. Plus his last 2 years were riddled with injuries.
I would not risk him if he wasn’t 100%.

It would be nice to see him play with Rashford though and possible get on the end of one of Telles’s crosses.

macjireh:
could D's be sanwo olu's handwriting or Anonymous??

Why are you posting this senseless thing here?

engrelvis:
Cavani n Greenwood shud b unleash tommoro.

Big game Rashy has to play. He needs to welcome that keeper into the EPL. I am not sure about Cavani’s fitness but if they think he is ready then we can play him. Greenwood off the bench.
3-5-2 again with the wing backs pushing forward whenever possible.



A 2nd option is Ole brings the hammer down. Cavani at CF, Greenwood on the right, Rashy on the left.
Looks good on paper but leaves us defensively vulnerable and we struggle to get the ball to the isolated front 3.



Last option is a 4-4-2 diamond which allows us to field as many of our skilled midfielders as possible, keep possession better and create for the front 2.
This however exposes our flanks to the play of Chelshit’s gifted attacking full backs.

Someone said he’ll rather watch paint dry than Buhari speak
Nigga paid smart people to cover up his dullness

What people should be thinking about right now is not even Buhari's cognitive deficit but the greed, wickedness and callousness of our political leaders who have conspired to keep a man they know is not right in the head in office.

obainojazz:
Peeps asked for the president’s speech, now they are speechless

E no shock you?

Ibime:
This has been obvious since 2016

Of course, even possibly before then but the thing about Dementia is that it is progressive not static. The Buhari of 2016 is most likely an Albert Einstein or at least an Elon Musk compared to the Buhari of 2020.

Leyqute:
I think that guy is a regular on this thread who decided to hide behind a different moniker because he isn’t bold enough to post with his regular moniker. The fact that he attacked you with his first post attests to that.

Best not to engage with peeps like that.

Yeah i got that impression too. Different people and their wahala. You argue with them na fight, you refuse to argue with them still na fight.

seankafor:
how does he attend all those international summits without been made a laughing stock and carricature of?

Like how does he communicate with those guys at UN summits and those meetings he goes about?

1) He almost never attends anything.

2) Most of the negotiations and discussions are done not by the Presidents but by their people i.e diplomats, technocrats e.t.c

3) Even if the other leaders noticed they would not laugh at him. No be Nairaland
