Barcelona don dey shake body based on last season outcome but but we achieved success by finishing third.

That's how you know ambition.
Barca is not the club to look to for any organizational planning.

Barca planning and recruitment has been a shambles for the last 6 years.
Messi is the player who has papered over the cracks and saved Barca from sliding from the top.

Nah, I'm talking about Barca jare. I think he'd do well there.


Abeg make I no miss my flight before these shekpite gentiles trap me for here grin
He is ex-Barca. Should have gotten the job awhile ago actually. I think he would have made better use of the last prime years of Messi and Suarez than the last 2 coaches.

Unfortunately he is probably coming too late to benefit from those players. The real problem at Barca though is the president who is as anti-Barca as is possible.

and his body language seff lipsrsealed
not even a rumor of him submitting transfer request
Leave that one. He is not a Man Utd boyhood fan.

If he submits request now people will say he is not loyal and will later dump United the same he dumped City and Dortmund.

sorry oh...but will the Sancho even come seff
Who knows. If we don’t pay up on time he won’t.

Dortmund won’t sell him very late in the window if it gives them too little time to buy a replacement.

They should buy sancho first before doing any other thing, if he flops we wail and drag afrodoc.
grin

On top wetin. Na me dey coach am?

Barring injury he won’t flop. Relax your mind.

Like I opined earlier, chances are that Sancho will start on the left especially if Rashford continues to mess up.

The people who would benefit most from Sancho are Martial and Bruno.

BVB are not ready to back down on their asking price. If after all these, Ed still pays that amount for Sancho, other clubs will always play hard ball with us.

Unpopular opinion: We should move on cry
There are players we should have moved on from, like Maguire at 80m and AWB at 50m.

There are players you have to stick with, like Sancho at 100m.

Problem is that we still need a LCB, and a CM, as well as a LB.

We need to sign a LB to compete with Shaw (or replace him), and move Williams over to compete with AWB at RB while Laird goes out on loan.

I believe Alaba has 1yr left on his contract. We can try getting him even though i suspect he will just use us to get a better deal from Bayern.

Which of these transfers are we confident of having this summer sef?
It is like you don’t know how incompetent Woodward can be. There is nothing like confidence when it comes to our transfers.

Only 2 people can hold their heads high from yday.

1) Bruno who took it like a final and played well throughout and cut out most of his carelessness.

2) Fred who played to the top level he can play. He took it like a final.

Pogba’s inability to play winning football reared its ugly head yday. Showing off and trying to beat 3 men when a simple quick pass would do the job faster.
His talent level means he would always have great moments but he often does not just get it.

Having said that he was one of the better players yday.

Rashford saw an overlapping Williams and instead of passing it quickly he stopped the ball, did a pirouette and tried a fancy flick. Tosser!

Martial and Greenwood need to keep their heads and continue working on their movement and finishing. Their general play was okay but they were unlucky with their finishing.

Maguire and Lindelof went to sleep at key moments. We need to buy 1 CB who is better than what we have now to come and partner one of them.

Williams was obviously exhausted but Ole watched until it led to a goal before making any changes. That is on Ole.
Sometimes you just need fresh legs.

Rashford was having a stinker and Ole did nothing about it until it was too late. That is also on Ole.

You can’t just blame only the players for missing chances.

We played relatively well and the tactics were okay but the substitutions were terrible.

This was a democratic loss. Almost everybody had a share in the final outcome.

But you know if those attackers we are not allowed to critcize did their job, we won't be having this observation today right?

Yeah AWB is not it, but is he the problem? Was he the problem yesterday Patrick? You don call your guy out? cheesy
He is part of the problem. 1 v 1 when he is with a man he is great, but once there is really good movement around him he gets confused easily.

Watch the 1st goal and how gets drawn into an area he shouldn’t be in and fails to track runners.

2nd goal he was ball watching and failed to cover his CB Lindelof who was sleeping on duty.

I don’t think he is going to be the starting RB by the end of his present contract.

Wan-Bissaka, when do we start seriously talking about him?

He is just too bad in attack to play for a club like ours...The opposition defenders know he isn't a threat at all so all they do is focus on Greenwood...I noticed how the Sevilla defenders tried as much as they could to limit Greenwood from taking any shot at goal. Every time the ball got to Wan-Bissaka, rather than close him down, their left back preferred to track the run of Greenwood just because they know Wan-Bissaka is useless in attack...

Having said that, we need to vary our attacking play, it's not everytime you try a one-two pass and move even in a crowded defense, take a shot at goal or put crosses into the box, Martial isn't known for his aerial prowess but how about low drills into the box like Manchester City do often?

The personnel is average so too is the coaching...
I warned you guys about AWB before we bought him.

I stopped criticizing after matches because i was sure that over time he would expose himself.

Slide tackling for a relegation fighting team is not all that is needed to be a RB for an ambitious club.

That second goal was WanBissaka’s fault. He switched off completely.
Not only AWB. Williams and Lindelof had a good share in too. Maguire was the least culpable (but not completely blame free) for that goal.

Afrodoc2 what's your analysis on the match?
Will go into detailed player by player analysis later.
My summary though is that apart from Fred, Bruno, and to a lesser extent Greenwood and Pogba every other player messed up.

And Ole can’t escape his share of the blame this time. The mere fact that he sat there watching like Lawrence Akpokona without making any changes until it was too late is enough for him to be scored low in the game.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 8:17am On Aug 17, 2020
After the after party, and after all the agenda driven yarns have finished, and after people have calmed down, we can have a better analysis of what happened. cheesy

Nah, he’ll come good. Apart from your assessment, anyone who decides to watch him play or even his interviews will know that the boy’s ceiling is really high.

Also, he isn’t coming into an exactly new team, he already knows these guys on a national level, so gelling shouldn’t be a problem, and based on United’s style of play too.

Chances of him flopping are actually very low in this case.
Otem bless this post.

Well, if we’re to go by what United scout afrodoc reports here grin, I doubt he’ll fail to reproduce these numbers.

Only hinderance might be lifestyle, and he doesn’t seem the type based on his interviews. Or injury.

Other than that, he’ll be a massive hit.
Lol. If we finally sign this Sancho and he does not succeed na me go hear am pass for this forum.

Well, we wait n watch.

Is it the same Rashford that folks here think will walk into the French national team that you're questioning? For proper emphasis, Bayern had Perisic and Gnabry on the wings, are you saying they're better than Rashford?
How can Rashford walk into French team when your man 0 goal, 0 assist Lemar and his goons Drs Dembele and Coman will bench him?

You had to drag Martial into it even when he wasn't mentioned...

When I opined the other day that the banter here will see folks celebrating the failures of players they don't like, y'all said it was just banter...Na here we dey.
You are equally guilty of the same thing. The same way Expert drags Martial to hype Rashford, you drag Rashford to hype Martial. Like 2 star forwards can't co-exist in a team.
