This Boga looks like he has been eating a lot of Burger. Not as fast as advertized (struggled to out run Ozil) and definitely not the sharpest tool in the box.

Batty boi sef score!
Nice finish also

Bigkesh don too yarn some wrong things. On top this Morata/Lukaku/Mourinho triangle i think you should just maintain a responsible and respectable silence.
Nice goal Willian. These 2 teams are showing midseason fitness.

Shuo!

One major problem i have with JM is his constant use of Darmian at LB.

funlord where you dey find this people with unstable lie?

na una wey dey reply attention seekers get majority of the blame.

Lana1:
Na my opinion!! U no need like am. Anyways u get my point which is "We dont need 11 world class players"!!

You make a good point, just that a couple of your examples were a bit off.
Keano was definitely world class and one of my all time best United players. I am guessing you didn't get to watch him during his peak years.
Rio for me was also world class (but i can understand your view on him), he had his failings but then again no defender is infallible.

raumdeuter:
In every regard Roy Keane would be considered world class, He was one of the best midfielders at his peak. Rio Ferdinand I can agree with you on that

If even Dayo a known anti-EPL guy can say this then Lana should know he is way off here. Keano was definitely world class.
Forget his last couple of years or his activities and utterances since he retired.

We need to give Mitchell an opportunity in that LB position.

This Fellaini should thank his stars. The guy is barely a footballer, see cannon pass!

Lana1:
A team of Champions does not need 11 world class players in its starting 11. All u need is like 3 class players and 8 harworkers.
JS Park, Oshea, Ferdinand, Rafael, Fletcher, "Carrick", Nani, Roy Keane etc. None of these guys were world class level.

Roy Keane not world class?

See blood everywhere. This Kesh no be better person. E go use ikanra pummel person pikin.
Meanwhile i no see the posts wey attack Elrony, were dey hidden?

double post

bigkesh:
Since you have decided to step down to their level,I will leave you alone

Sha carry your Lukaku and go

Only me? carry a whole donkey? Lukaku is too heavy a donkey, even strong men like Maldini can't hold him. please can you hold the L , i might be able to carry Ukaku.

Oasis007:



So Maldini is not a Legend, also Ramos is an overrated Defender?!

What a penkelemes in the Shekpe corner

His small ball sense will fail him, BUT BUT.............Maldini and Ramos won't be able to handle him?

A very penkelemes

The guy that Ramos and Maldini won't be able to handle is now a donkey?

Nihilist:
I hope he fvcking does, the traitor...

Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, no hell a fury like a nihilist turned.

Nihilist:
Optional defending from LA Galaxy there...

Lol copycat. However no delusions here unlike those who think that Bats will score dozens of goals this season. The fact that the eternally impotent Willian grabbed a hat trick should have had a moderating effect on the fan response.

codedguy1:
If these guys are going to be our wingers this season, then we are still going to experience some very frustrating football. None of them are true wingers in the real sense.

As per perisic, I Dont know what to expect of hm n the EFL if he eventually comes. I would still prefer martial on the LW.

I can't really disagree with you. We do not have any natural winger of real quality in he club.

funlord:
That's why the manager is trying to get perisic in! A wingers job is simple...beat your man or 2 with your skill or pace in tight situations, attack and continuously move into the channels and float or whip in crosses for your strikers while offering any sort of protection to your full back! I don't know where martial thinks he is but united does not have time for any drama this season! Maybe a few months spent watching perisic from the bench would remind of what his duties are!

This looks very much like criticism to me though.
Anyway like i said this is just pre-season so no worries.

joeace2020:
Okay maybe i am too biased in favor of Lukaku but i am just scared leaving 3 people at the back just so 2 fowards can be up top is risky.

It is understandable that people want the new expensive guy Lukaku to do well but our focus should be on the well being of the ENTIRE team rather than 1 player.
Since it is acknowledged that Lukaku knows how to score goals i am not really worried about him for now cos i believe the goals will start to flow at some point.
I would have been more worried if Mikki, Fellaini, Martial and Rashford kept on last season's pattern of missing clear cut chances.

Lastly this is only pre-season guys AND the first game at that. So let us all chill.

joeace2020:
He is too focused on scoring goals. I could tell from his body language loosing the number 9 shirt when Ibrahimovic came that he wanted to strike and not be a winger. I think Mourinho has seen that and doesn't want to upset him again this season shunting him to the wing were he's had his worst season with us. I guess thats why we saw a 2 man up top tonight. Well I'll be glad if we have 3 very good striking options but it seems Martial will be creating problems next season if he doesn't start as a striker. This formation would have helped but its vulnerable and unlike Mourinho.

If we had more people focused on scoring goals last season maybe we would not have ended up so low in the league. Zlatan has shown us that 1 scorer can't get you far in the league. We need more scorers, and prolific ones too. I have no problem with Martial's choice of shots in this game.

JayKayMaybachz:
✔ ✔ ✔ � Exactly, Doc

But I'll prefer Sanchez over Perisic..

Definitely Sanchez is the better player but not sure we have a chance to get him.

funlord:
He was tasked with drifting in from the wing from time to time when we were trying to counter attack or when not in possession! And he is predominantly a winger anyway! Martial has proven that he is not clinical enough to operate as a striker for an entire season! His destiny lies in the wing forward position pending when he would finally get his act together! Lukaku has nothing to prove as regards to scoring goals and being an all round threat in attack...martial does

If he has something to prove why are you criticizing him when he puts in a decent performance and scores one goal and makes another?
If he scores you criticize him, if he does not you criticize him also?
And Martial has not PROVEN he can't be a striker. He is 21, at his age Henry was still a wasteful winger in Juventus and Drogba was just becoming a professional footballer.
WE NEED MULTIPLE PLAYERS TO SCORE IN DOUBLE DIGITS THIS SEASON and if Martial has decided to step up and become more of a goal scorer i am happy with that.
It is too early to start criticizing our players especially one that just scored one and assisted another.

joeace2020:
Maybe a revert to 4-2-3-1 or another variation of 433 would see him perform better as a winger but really this team needs a specialist winger. Martial isn't.

With the dogged pursuit of Perisic and with Jose's comments after the game i suspect he sees Lukaku, Rashford and Martial as his strikers this season with Zlatan to come back by January.
Mata, Mikki, Lingard and Perisic would be the wingers.

He was not played as a winger in this match. He partnered Lukaku in attack and in my opinion he did ok, had a goal and an assist PLUS his touches were cleaner and quicker than Lukaku's.

Optional defending by the Fulham back line.

This should be interesting.

chrisley024:
My problem with having Dembele is lack of experience n poor decisions. Having him with Martial on the left will most likely give us beautiful football with nothing at the end. I prefer only a young player in attack at a time. It helps not to put much pressure on them to deliver n they're also guided.

Dembele's ability should give him 20 assists per season but his inexperience will reduce it to 10-15 which is still good enough for me.
He had 12 assists in the Bundesliga and 6 in the UCL last season. If you are good enough you are old enough.
We won't get him but he is an upgrade on what we have IMO.

chrisley024:
Who has watched this Keita Leipzig is quoting 70m for

I have watched a few of his matches. I saw him against Bayern in the crazy 4-5 match.
Keita is Kante with better attacking ability but less defensive awareness. Very good runner with the ball and on the run dribbler and decent technique.
But i think someone like Dayo who watches that forgotten league regularly would have more info on him.
