352 is my preferred formation now.

I need that trio of kova-akpruka-kante.

But I will play Kovacic in the hole close to the strikers, let Akpuruka sit and spray, with Kante box to box

Our central defenders are too stupid for a two. Our rightack too slow to play in a four, and Emerson only has pace with no application.

Our wingers no get sense, so give them the simplest instructions ever - run to byline and then pullout.

Our strikers are useless individually, pair them up, and together they might only be half as bad.

This is one of the worst squads I've seen wearing the badge ever.

Tammy Abraham is especially terrible. The guy plays with the talent of a wooden bench.

There are positives though.

Such joy in my heart as i read all these LLLamentations.

When i see Diggz, Nihilist and co shedding such tears about their club it elevates my spirit and soothes my soul.

P.S

Trust in Willian and Pedro. They will both come good.

Also, what Lampidodo is doing is not only sustainable it is renewable (just like solar energy).

donjazet:
I believe Lampard will eventually implement his system fully and succeed. The objective this season is for the team to play fluent attacking football and most importantly, establish our youth players as fully fledged players. Any other success will be a bonus this season.

FLUENT FC. Are your players here to play football or speak in tongues?

donjazet:
I'm confident we'll win today, although the clean sheet might evade us because of the unstable defense. But we have enough to score multiple goals.

Yeah, right.

Oasis007:
Inter Milan's representatives are in the UK to hold talks with Manchester United over the transfer of Alexis Sanchez, according to Sky in Italy.

But, but Alexis is working hard to regain fitness and is in Ole's plans now. LOL

Seriously though I hope Ole is not making things harder for himself. From midfield to attack compared to last season we would have lost Alexis, Lukaku, Fellaini, Herrera and replaced with academy prospects and Daniel James.

Greatihex:
you are missing it. raumdueter said that hazard only topped the assists chart last season because kdb was injured. then, i am asking, in all the seasons that kdb has played in the epl, did he get more than 15 assists?

if there is one season that kdb did not have more than 15 assists, what makes raumdeuter think that if kdb was fit last season that he wouldn't have had just the same number or below of assist with the time he didn't have more than 15?


that is my point

Oh ok. That’s a fair point.
Even though KDB is the more visionary player he might not beat Hazard in assists every season.

Greatihex:
has KDB only spent two seasons in EPL?

You asked a question and i answered it. KDB has 2 assist seasons better than Hazard’s best season.

FYI KDB is assisting at a rate approximately double Hazard’s.

BlueRayDick:
I just don't understand why they keep.trying to defend hazard each time one complains about his stats/returns. Somebody that already confessed he likes enjoying himself(doing shakushaku) than any other thing.

It is what it is. If you like a player that loves drimbling then just claim it and agree your guy is a drimbler and not as productive as his supposed peers.

No come dey lie to us that he is something different.
Hazard has just about 8 EPL assists in total more than KDB despite playing 3 more seasons and over 100 more games.
Passing and vision wise dem no be mate. Hazard is stronger, faster, holds the ball better and is a better drimbler though.

Greatihex:
has KDB produced more 15 assists in all the season he has played in the EPL?

18 assists in 2016-2017
16 assists in 2017-2018.

Hazard’s best season in terms of assists is only 3rd best for KDB.

GloryIsaac:
Kagawa has been winning lately... From Van De Beek to Ceballos..

Don’t forget to add Regan Poole who is playing League One football, or Josh Harrop who is in the Championship, and of course Tosin Kehinde who is on loan in the Danish league after failing to make the grade in a Portuguese club that was relegated to the Portuguese 2nd division.

larride:
Thank God Ed didn’t buy this Ndombele. Black man Matic.

Too early to tell but i was never sold on him anyway. IMO he had serious Bakayoko potential but it appears he is at least better than that.

Oasis007:
Fenerbahce are making progress in their pursuit of Marcos Rojo. He has said yes to them and they are now working with Manchester United to agree a season-long loan deal.

- Fanatik

- Sport Witness

Rojo didn’t know that when Ole told him he was in his plans he was talking about transfer plans.
LMAO

Oasis007:
"Inter Milan are studying Alexis Sanchez as an alternative to Edin Dzeko. They are also studying Fernando Llorente and Ante Rebic."

Alexis don become JAMB abi?

Biggieboy:
This foundation and framework argument has gone beyond nairaland o

Man utd legend Paul Once believes Ole Gunnar Soljskaer is using Klopp's framework at Man utd

@ donjazet Kimbeast, wots ur take on this?



Lana1 Larride Oasis007 elrony Leyqute and other GGMUMU fans, is this true?

We no longer consider Paul Ince a United legend.

Red Devils Worldwide.



And his statement is factually incorrect and emblematic of his ever increasing level of tomfoolery.

patrickmuf:
Liverpool fans think Brewster is better than Greenwood. If they go on to achieve their potentials, the rivalry initiated by fans will be huge.

Brewster is a pure 9. Greenwood is a more gifted footballer and is more well rounded but one can't downplay Brewster's speed and finishing.

Brewster is almost 2yrs older than Greenwood but his last 2 seasons have also been derailed by injury so it is hard to judge where he is at in terms of his development.

I don't think England has ever had this level of youth talent coming through. If even half of them develop as expected they will have a very good team in 4-5 years.

P.S Brewster actually reminds me of Rashford when he first broke through.

patrickmuf:
Brewster is much younger na.

They were all on the same team. Hudson-Odoi, Gomes and Foden are younger than Brewster, and Brewster is just a week younger than Sancho.

Lana1:
Told a guy this where we when arguing on twitter. If to say he played for any other club other than United, he would be rated more.

The major things i hate about him is his poor decision making and his inconsistent finishing in front of goal.
Hoing he disappoints all of us this season and turn out to be a massive player for us. Mans cant afford to be missing easy goals or shooting from obscure angles and distances like he used to.

Rashford has his speed and stamina going for him, and from reports he is willing to learn and work on his weaknesses. He does not have the natural footballing ability of Greenwood, Martial, Sancho but like we all know talent is not everything.

larride:
Sancho


I just don’t know why I don’t like that Rashford again.

Sancho has better dribbling and passing ability but is not as fast or hardworking as Rashford. He also tends to make better decisions than Rashford.
It is difficult to judge because the Bundesliga is such a crap league even otu oshi like Mkhitaryan was king there. However if i was to hazard a guess i would bet on Sancho eclipsing Rashford.

One should also bear in mind that in the England junior set up with Angel Gomes, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Phil Foden, Brewster e.t.c Sancho was the best player. His youth exploits coupled with him delivering on his potential in Germany is why i am so high on him. He was essentially that group's Greenwood.

LongD:
James is 5.7 Gomes is 5.6

Ok

Should you not be at work?

Monitoring spirit LOL. We have internet at work sir.

Oasis007:
Based on my Assessments, Brandon Williams has better chance at making it to the first Team sooner than the Rest as a LB.

The local fans rate O'Connor highly but for some reason it appears the bosses don't.
O'Connor has played RB, LB, CB at different times quite well, though he is obviously too small to play CB at the senior level.

Williams is just a few months younger and also plays LB (though he is predominantly right footed). Better than O'Connor going forward though he has a wicked streak in him and will likely be a card magnet.

Laird is the youngest but most hyped of the 3. His path to the senior team was looking the easiest until the club bought AWB.

Summary is we have 2 RBs and 2 LBs in the reserves who are waiting in the wings to take Ashley Young's place on the bench.

As a rival fan i must say Chelsea has a lot of positives to take from this match. A lot of positives, as well as a big fat L.

Told you guys Lampard will come good. Give him 1 or 2 transfer windows and he will start challenging for titles.
He is obviously a good attack minded coach.

Oasis007:


So Dan James ain't taller than Gomez?!

No let camera angle deceive you, James is 3-4 inches taller than Gomes.

Meanwhile one of these will supersede Young on the bench by next year.

If I swear for you now, they will say I am wicked

No vex i meant to say Pedro will come good.

GloryIsaac:
But but but OGS oNly haS mOutH

I realized Ole was a bold face liar when he kept saying Lukaku was injured in preseason and that of course he was an important striker for United, all the while trying to offload him to Italy.

No be by frowning and shouting. Some people prefer to kill you softly.

pharod:
People tend to mock what they don't understand...

I don’t really know the swish guy. Is he the Arsenal hensben?

paafin:
Another kid to catch the eye is Aliou Traore! He's a midfield beast.

I prefer Dylan Levitt. Excellent passing and general technique.


I am not so sure how well Traore will play when he plays against men as big and strong as he is.

Cheer up guys, Zouma will come good.

Swissh:
You are just plain stupid Mr supercede .

Why are you mocking him for using the word supersede?

sod09:
I don't think I have come across his post on our thread
Probably a double agent

Lol, you just might right.
But you are a bona fide gunner, a chairman sef. How do you see your season going? What are your expectations?

SkimpleD:
Doc, Jah bless you jhoo. Aside trolling, na only you still dey make sense.

If we play either Bats or Giroud with Willian flanked by mumu Pulisic, we go dey alright.

Thank you pastor. But why calling Pulisic mumu?
Especially in a team with Zouma and co?

You guys have to stick with Lampard and get him the right tools. There is potential in the guy.
