This Huston-odoi and Abraham will be the undoing of Lampard, if you analyse the match so far the 2 are the weakest link in the team. Don't know why Lampard keep using kindergarten for serious business. They will just waste this 45minutes passing ball that will got lost once it get to the 2 kids.

Didn't Hudson-Odoi Dramatically change the game for Chelsea a week ago??! Two of their equalizing goals were clearly spearheaded by his ball movements, on and off.

A true legend!!!... One of the players who gave Nigeria her international recognition among footballing nations!!! I miss that generation of great footballers.

justli:
He's proving to be a bad manager.
His mentality in front of the goal is horrible:
The unrelenting passing around of the ball with no zeal of penetrating the defence is agonizing.
The players are good, the manager needs to change his style of play or he will be fired

So, what style or formation would you recommend??!

The election results are already swaying left!

Joe Biden right now...

Foolish crystal palace, if na man united now... They will use all their strength. 600 years for them

Every team comes out flying when they encounter a weak opponent, home or away!!! I don't get your rant!

Kyase:
Hahahahahaha brutal indeed

They shouldn't finish anything short of 2nd position! That's if they don't even drag trophy with Reds.

Above all, they will march into UCL group stage with other teams quaking in their boots.

addexx:
officially I'm an Everton fan

The remaining clubs Apart from Leicester are a confused lot.

Liverpool
Leeds
Aston Villa

....What confusion??!

getinspired01:
It will be better if you prepare for the nightmare to make it bearable

Well, so far it's looking like a dream for the hosts!

Kyase:
Pulisic is back

I just checked... That's great news!!! The team is beginning to look more and more competitive. Once Hakim returns, that attack will be brutal!

Gbest90:
Fact bro.

Managing is way beyond signing of players

Precisely... I like that about EPL to say the least!!!

Not a bad line up from the hosts... So, Abraham secured his starting position against all odds, thanks to injuries (Ziyech and Pulisic).

Crystal Palace be looking like a semi Barcelona with that formidable line up!!!

ghettokid1:
I see chelsea collecting what man utd collected some days ago...
make i rush go place my bet...chelsea 2-3 crystal

Chelsea suppose beat Palace sha... At the very worst, drop 'just' two points again!

fergie001:
They play the way they played Liverpool.....they will surely win.

Thing is... Man City fancies such free flowing game. I pray our defense is equal to the task.

fergie001:
Haba.......I don't want to support anybody nah

I am a Peacock, their game no concern me

Now, on a more serious note... How do you fancy my boys' chances when Man City comes visiting later today??! I need your view sir!

Ebukahades10, Gbest90, ghettokid1, VickyRotex, Fuckingmallam45,... What do y'all think??!

Agadinaagwuofe:
I think I will agree with you on the issue of finances, with corona pandemic and closure of stadia most clubs finances have hit a dip and will affect the market.

I also agree with you on barcelona but barcelona case is better of than man utd because they have the option of harnessing their la masia products which have the potentials to become the best but that can't be said of Man utd, Barcelona problem is not only lack of quality players but also managerial one hence agitation for restructuring of the club board. Most of man utd squad players have past their primes and ones that are "manageable"can't stay on their feet for long time.

Again the club have tried selling the " deadwoods " and nobody is coming forth, tell me the last time you heard about any club interest on Jones etc if it were easy they would have been sold long while ago.

My point is the reason for their stay is not because the club don't want them to go due to no replacement as you suggested. It is because there's no market coming for them (as of now) and giving they are in contract with the club they will be allowed to see off their contracts.


However, to be sincere I don't see Man utd becoming strong force again in EPL very soon until heavy investment is made despite not having money the management needs to do something quick to avoid the club defaulting to a mid-table team. Just look at Everton. Can you comfortably beat your chest that Everton go "collect" from man utd this season?

Honestly, no one is collecting from United this season, not even Fulham! It will largely be the other way round! Finishing 6th would be more than flattering for them, except a miracle happens!!!

As for those players, they will soon run out of contract and be definitely allowed to leave for free... Many clubs in lower division will scoop most of them up.

United will systematically revamp their squad and critically replace them... But, it certainly won't be this season or the next to come... The journey back to that high level will be a long and painful one!!! True fans understand this!!!

There will always be a price to pay for poor investments! United had this coming for years now!!! Fans should bear with them!!!

Eriggs:
Dis Chelsea team never get them sef dis season with all dem expensive signings

i hope you will stand by your words after dis match denrele?
And which account u go deleted? The female or the male denrele?

Take him seriously at your own inconvenience... That guy has been 'deactivating' his account since last season!!! Leave matter!

barnny:
Will you just stop shaking your head like agama lizard
Common sense should tell you is a win win for Chelsea

Common sense told us the same thing last weekend, but 45 minutes later, common sense was made to look silly!!!

Who are you rooting for?

"I am for everybody and for nobody."

Say the truth for once... You are praying and anticipating another "West Brom Miracle" at the Bridge!

I actually want Chelsea to step up, and clip the fake wings of the so called eagles.

Who says experience doesn't trump heavy spending??!... See how legendary coaching elders like Bielsa and Hodgson have turned terribly average teams to super threats!

Who ever thought the day would come when Crystal Palace would become such a threat to clubs like Man United, Chelsea, and co....

Interesting times!!!

Anyway, I expect Chelsea to step up and put them where they belong!!! I would hate to see another "West Brom Nightmare"!!!

She don't look like a welder to me, omo she's just a slay queen

welder in day, Runs @ night

How exactly is a welder supposed to look when off duty??! The same??!

I have seen successful male welders looking even finer and cleaner than Ramsey Noah or Wizkid when off duty, some even retain their good looks while on duty... If or when they buy cars or build houses, do we conclude they are armed robbers or Fraudsters at night??!

If a bank executive buys cars like this, what should stop a successful welder or craftsman from doing the same??! You think all self employed people are poor??! Lol...

Some welders make profits of not less than 10k daily... Do you know how much that translates to in 6 months or one year??! After careful and successful investment of the profits, do you know how much their incomes translate to??!...

We need to perish some of our backward manner of thinking...

7 Years??! They tried!!! Marriages of this age and generation barely survive the first 2 years... A lot of celebrities should learn to stay single, and ignore peer or societal pressure to tie the knot!

Just imagine the stress the innocent kids will have to go through!!!

It is a fact that most celebrities never really or fully get ready for marriage until they have gone very far in their careers, same with most other professionals! We just keep deceiving ourselves believing that we can balance everything! Not everyone can handle such mental stress!!!

Agadinaagwuofe:
I completely agree with you on sport director but you know what will sink the club faster? That's becoming non-competitive. Man utd needs to employ a good business oriented sporting director that can close up deals quickly without allowing media noises and inappropriate negotiations stall some of their transfer targets.Most of the bench guys are unsellable or you think they don't want to sell? They do just that no market for them abi you think clubs are mugus who wan buy Jones,Rojo, Lingard and all other deadwoods? The best thing now which I know might not make economic sense is to invest more money on players and get the team competitive then they can try "deceive" some clubs if possible to take over those deadwoods only then the club can start writing off their bad investments while keeping tabs on how to improve their books in making profit other than that with these crop of players don't be surprise in next 10 years they will be in league one with Sunderland and Leyton orient..lolll

They can't take that gamble now... Not when they are struggling financially!

The club hasn't even made a profit this year! They haven't generated revenues since February due to the Corona issue... That was why I laughed when I first heard of the Sancho bid! I laughed cos I knew then that United was never gonna dole out that money... That's too huge a risk to take under this bleak financial year.

How many clubs have been doling out money and pulling all stops to sign top players??!Chelsea could manage it because their transfer money has been lying dormant... Even Barcelona and Juventus couldn't raid the market in their current desperate need for reinforcements... Guy, money nor dey anywhere!!! Not when fans are not being allowed into stadiums.

As for the 'deadwoods', they can be sold at giveaway prices, or allowed to leave for free!!! United will have to stomach the losses!!! They have refused to let them go, because they have no money to replace them, and don't want to be left without options (good or bad)!!!

Do they just write speeches for this man, or do they actually ensure he understands what he is being asked to go and read out??!... We need to start insisting on a higher academic and intelligence level from leaders at all levels of government especially presidency. Sigh!!!

lymelyte:
but do you know that Ole doesn't have a standard first 11?.. Guy, na trial and error dat guy dey do.. He can't even scold the players when they mess up..sometimes tough love is what people need to buckle up.. Ole is not the right coach for utd.. Utd will just float btw 4-6th all seasons till they get it right..

True that... A club of United's level should have gone for Ancellotti, Pochettino, or Allegri!

Ole should have merely been on caretaker duties in the interim... I guess he is part of their money-saving antics.

If or when United is ready to challenge seriously, they would go for a world class coach, and equally get an experienced Sports director to handle their transfers.

Woodward and United board are not yet ready to win titles, they are currently concerned with balancing the books.

zeezbrain:
u guys will still say is 2k not small abi how many of those poor people voted for him... Cause u guys dont reason b4 u comment

Normally, I would ignore your unintelligent tantrum, but I feel led to drop some wisdom... So, here it goes...

1. What Laycon did above is stupid, distasteful, reckless, and actually a criminal offense with regards to abuse of the national currency (Look this up). Accidents, with subsequent loss of lives could have resulted from it. As a youth ambassador (Please, don't argue this), he is supposed to do better.

2. No one, and I mean no intelligent person, will see the above suggestion of mine as 'being too small'!!! Wealthier politicians are eulogized for doing far less during elections... A lowly Laycon doing such will gloriously inflate his fame, and endear him more to Nigerians, even those who don't like the BBNaija show. This will open more doors for him, home and abroad, and greatly improve the image or acceptance of the DSTV show... This is part of positive societal re-engineering.

Next time you wish to be nasty and hasty in making generalizations, read carefully and do some research. Thanks.

I honestly don't get what the fuss is all about... Google didn't do a poll and declared her the 'ugliest'.... No renown international magazine or rating organization conducted any poll with her finishing in the negative top...

So, what is the fuss over an idle website's gimmick??! Are we this jobless online??!

Beauty appreciation is not merely general, but also very subjective.... I personally don't find a lot of crowned beauty queens truly beautiful, of course I won't go so far to term any of them ugly... There are things we are supposed to laugh off, or basically ignore.

Jonasbadoo:
Naso You dey reason Firmino who no know where goal post dey , Jota na hype abeg..
Na only Salah be the threat there

Firmino's job goes beyond goal scoring, and Jota is far from over hyped! He is goal poacher and attacking threat.

Ehiscotch:
Nigerians can throw a fit and don't know how to react rationally.

Fashola just said the truth really but Nigerians take pride in being antagonistic and they love the Deja vu; I guess there is a thrill to it embedded in us.

Basic amenities like that are to be covered by the State Government. The FG can't be everywhere and they embark on projects that take years to accomplish: rails, roads, ports etc.

Nigeria has so much challenges that a government can achieve so little in eight years, especially with corruption so endemic and institutionalized.

Listen(sic), before you mention. You would keep moaning and groaning and wailing for eight years of Buhari and then the next government and then the next, until you realise the fundamental details of governance and hold them sensibly to it, devoid of emotions or sentiments or prejudice.

I feel a need to reemphasize. This is NOT about APC/ Buhari or what no. I am feeling the burning effects of the economic downturn but I am grateful to God for the ability to detach emotion for rationality.

You do realize you haven't passed any concrete message with all that verbosity...

The only thing you have succeeded in doing is painting governance like it's rocket science, which it is not!!!

In the first place, does Nigeria run a regional or decentralized government??!

Mr. Fashola, if you all knew this as the fact, why then did you all base your 2015 election campaigns on the 'impossible'??! Why did you sell the lie to gullible low intelligent Nigerians that all y'all had to do would be to wave a magic wand, and the nation would start flourishing??!

See ehn, Buhari and every one of you charlatans are reaping the fruits of a foundation built on lies and propaganda!!!

All this Shalaye only serves to make y'all look even worse!

Better find a way to turn your lies to evidential dividends of democracy, or none of you will ever have peace!!! I rest my case!!!

You know your democratically elected leaders have truly and pathetically failed when a past military dictator can boldly come out and claim they did far better...

In order words, this nation has not moved forward since independence. What a shame!!!

lymelyte:
I tire for the club.. The club has lost it.. Even the old glory has left utd.. It is becoming a shadow of itself.. Can't even imagine. They went ahead to sign a coach they can control.. A world class manager wont take this nonsense..

A world class manager would know that there should be a balance between spending and profits, or the club sinks.

Look at Ajax, Dortmund, Southampton, and RB Leipzig.... That's how you do the business.

Signing players year in year out without anything to show for it is financially suicidal.

Agadinaagwuofe:
Clubs doing serious businesses closing deals and Woodward is still putting finger inside anus and be smelling it...We dey here. This season will be a flop for Man utd.

Let them flop... It will do them some good.

You can't keep signing and storing players at a club, paying them all salaries when you aren't making serious profits. That will sink the club.

You guys don't understand that football is a serious business.

That club needs to get a director once and for all to sort out the mess on that bench... Signing more players should be the least of their priorities.

For instance, a good sports director will outrightly reject any demand for Sancho that's above 90 million, except it involves exchange of players.

That United bench needs to be cleared out fast also.
