Man United fans are always looking for scapegoats every season...!

How many great Goalkeepers will not suffer with Man United's useless defense?!!

Before you crucify a keeper, you should first assess the defenders standing between him and strikers.

That was why I actually laughed when DeGea was termed worse than Alisson and Ederson... Like wtf?!! cheesy
Frankly, I do not rate Ederson that high of a keeper..

He is just another Victor Valdes.

Every goalkeeper commits blunders... Maybe you should research the first 2 seasons of DDG in Man United under Ferguson.

Casilas committed several in his first senior start for Madrid.

Some Keepers are just lucky to be with exceptional players who attack and defend well.

Bravo was less than average in Barcelona, but you wouldn't know due to the quality of attacking football they played which kept most opponents defending against Barcelona in almost all encounters.
Exactly my point..

Many great goal keepers have had there shares of embarrassing moments..

Van Der Sar at Juventus was just a basket until Ferguson rescued his career and brought him to manutd.

Even at France 98, Van Der Sar was just average for Holland.

Even Buffon at Juventus.. a superstar nonetheless but look at guys in front of him both at club and country but still he did let in quite a bit of easy catches.

Recall Kepa at Chelsea .. whom according to Lampard 3 shot on target = 3 goals which was true and he benched him for Mendy..

Now look at Kepa and Real Madrid , a better version of Kepa at Chelsea.

Victor Valdes at Barcelona was same.. less work to do, won many championship..

Sometimes we are just too hard on our own and don't promote our people, not without criticism though but sometimes, I just think it is too much.

you are a hypocritical u all criticize Maguire at every slightest opportunity even kepa but see the long write u created to defend your African brother. Onana no good
Learn to stay on the topic at hand..

This was about Onana and goal keepers and not a historical perspective of manutd's player individual performance .

How Etoo wan use take sack Roberto song now? He go hard o he former captain.


But this onana na bastard o in just a game he conced 3 goals grin
Onana is just unlucky lately at both club and country.. look at the 3 goals conceded today.. where was the defense?

At manutd, look at the goals they concede... veery true that onana have his share of the Blame especially in the champions league against, bayern, Galatasaray and Copenhagen but most of the goals united concede are just poor defense..

Do you know the most lucky goalkeeper in modern day football? Victor Valdes..

Valdese was very lucky in his career at Barca, at his time in Barca they played a possession based football meaning his guys retained 75% or more of possession in a game giving him less work to do. .. his midfield and back lines where decent so he has way less work to do.. check his stat, if team successfully fires 10 shots on target (which was rare at the time), that's like 3 goals, 4 woodwork and 3 shot blocked by defense..

He concede many embarrassing goals and sometimes forgets he is in a live match be cause typically he has less work to do in a game but he won many many championship.

Now check Jaiskalien ( I can't remember the correct spelling of his name), the former Bolton wanderers goal keeper.. bad defense in front of him.. , mid level midfield ,he makes some fantastic saves but just couldn't keep up with the amount of shots coming to his goal posts.

shortgun:
It's logical to tell you to leave the girl or run for your life....but to who?
The experience you are having is just how women behave, you won't find a better one anywhere!
The only ones who will appear to be better are those who will pretend but will later show their true colours.
Any man who has made up his mind to get involved with a woman must be ready to put up with their nature and illogical dramas or just stay single.
You are even lucky she doesn't get angry with you cos you are cheating on her in her dreams.

The areas where I see you lacking is in dominance and assertiveness; you need to dominate her to conquer her.
I respect your opinion but disagree with your second bolded paragraph.

It is similarly as saying women should just "endure " characters they don't like in their husband because that's their husband.

The truth is in a relationship, no one is perfect, but when 2 people come together, they should be able to work with one another to get the best version of their partner.

Relationship is not only about sex, people in relationships shouldn't be coming together only for the purpose of sex if that want that relationship to last.

In marriage, a man and woman must live their homes and come together to create their own new world and that entails both parties working on themselves, dropping certain attitudes and picking up a new one that would fit the common objective which stands as the foundation of their new home.

I really don't like that saying take me as I am.. everyone has fault... and we should be working actively to get better .



Cheers!

FanRong:
I'm sorry, this post is going to be a long one. But you're saving a soul if you read through and advice candidly.


My story
We've dated for 6months and we've lived together for the 6months.

On our 3rd month, I found her interesting and told her I'll like to marry her. She accepted but no engagement ring or anything to show. We just accepted by word of mouth.

Since then, I've worked towards it. I've told her to call her mum and eldest brother(dad is late) to relate my idea and understand their feeling since it won't be that easy to marry. (same state, but my people and her people are highly selective in marriage)

After several persuasion, and threat that I'll throw her out if she doesn't relate the circumstances to her family, she called the mum. And again I had to force her to call the eldest brother. She claimed she did. And that's enough. I'm ok.

Meanwhile, there's this guy(her ex) she claims helped her when she came to Lagos. It was when I started accommodating her that I found out in her chats that she was living with this guy, but lied to me she was living with her Aunt and the aunt's husband was harassing her sexually and she wants to leave. She later told me the guy, though provides for him but has never had sex with her, even when she was living in his house. These stories doesn't move me since everyone, who is not a virgin has an ex. So I forgave all that and we moved on.

She wasn't everything I need in a women, but I told myself I could train her the way I want. We continued adjusting to each others likes and dislikes.

I feed her this 6 months, provide comfortable shelter, buy her things she needs,(not want). Told her I'll do more and open a shop for her, if we get married, but she still confronts me asking why should I wait till after marriage? . I didn't allow the words move me cos Its my decision and my money and also, I'm used to gold diggers.

A good number of times, I see her as being selfish. If things doesn't benefit her, she'll not get bothered even if I'm involved.

Just this week, It became obvious to me that she argues everything I request her to do. From 24th Dec, we've been on holiday, we're always at home.
1. I'll wake her up at 9 and ask her to prepare breakfast for the family, she'll prefer to roll on the bed than do it. I'll finally have to do it myself so I can get things done and get busy.

2. I detest girls on eye lashes. I've repeatedly told her how I dislike it, but when she went to fix herself for the Christmas, she fixed the eyelashes, Contrary to my demand.

3. I got her some sneakers to upgrade her fashion style and look smarter, instead of the usual slippers and sandals she wears.
When we prepared to go to the beach few days ago, I requested her to put on the sneakers to look more fashionable, but she refused buttressing that she must wear what she wants, sandals.

4. Few days ago, we had a heated argument and she said that if I'm not happy that she's living with me, that she can go, afterall, she has somewhere to stay. I asked her to go and she immediately called that her ex bf to come to my house. I immediately swung into action, took all her belongings out, before the ex will arrive, at the same time, retrieving the items I gifted her.
While she was struggling to have her gifted items back, our neighbours heard the struggle and had to come and settle for us. She apologized and I forgave her. we were back into the house.

5. Just yesterday , we left home together, and I locked the door and I took the keys with me. We walked down the street together to the Busstop, I have almost no friend and seldomly greet. But there's this my ex girlfriend by the roadside, she saw me and yelled my name, I went to greet her and my Fiancée picked offence, left me without waiting for me. After that I chased her and told her it's nothing because I've told her everything about this ex.
Before we could get to the Busstop, she demanded for the house keys and I gave her since she might come back earlier than me.
We couldn't say bye. The anger was clear on her face and we parted ways.

After about 15mins, I got to where I wanted to make payment for the items I picked only to notice I am not with my transaction phone. I was confused where could I have kept it, the seller insisted I may not have come to his shop with the phone, and the phone rang as I called with my second phone. so I had to call my Fiancée for assistance since she's with the keys.
At first, she said she was still around the Busstop but when I told her I needed her to go home and confirm my phones whereabout, she said she can't go back that she has gone far, shouted on me and hung the phone.

I called and called and called, but she didn't pick. Many thoughts ran into me. Who took this phone? My money? , my phone? , my sim card? . I had to find my way and trekked back about 4km to the house since I had no cash with me. And finally saw the phone ringing in my house. I was relieved.

The way she shouted to me on the phone got me unbalanced, I felt she would be fire if I get this girl as a wife.

We finally traveled to our home state today and I paid the bills for the traveling. My major plan of traveling was to see her people and do the needful before I mistakenly get her pregnant. But I'm seriously contemplating of canceling this plan and throw her out come January. I need peace.

Dear nairalanders, I'm really in the middle of the deep blue sea and the devil.

I need mature and candid advice please.
Should I continue with the marriage plans or the redflags are obvious?
No need to rush into marriage. It seems you both have some loose ends to tighten.

Please if you still love her.. if she still checks most of your boxes.

Don't rush the marriage thingy and work things out first to make sure you both are on the same page.

Frankly, I hesitate to say this but I have to. .. from what you wrote her.. I think she might be having double mind getting married to you.

The speed she used to call her ex and the speed the ex showed up sort of throws me off a bit.

So, my suggestion is to have a sit down talk with her and very directly ask her how she feels about your relationship, don't use proverbs etc.. direct talk... ask her how she feels, what's her plan for the future, if she is in with you or wants her ex back..

Either way, you just want to know where she stands and if she decides to move on.. bless her heart..
Similarly, get ready to answer those questions yourself and point out things she does that you don't fancy and areas you want her to improve and your willingness to work with her for the improvement.

you don't want to waste anyone's time or anyone to waste your time or for either of you to be in a unhappy relationship.

Cheers!!

I have listened to a couple of preachers both secular and religious on the issue of what is prime in a relationship and they revolve around these three which are romance,finance and purpose.

TravelRe: She Was Denied USA Spousal Visa. What Can She Do? by Badgers14: 12:04pm On Dec 24, 2023
NiceLegs:
Hello everyone.

Please I need you inputs on this.

My Uncle who is a Citizen in USA filed to bring his wife in Nigeria whom he married in 2020 to the United States in that same year 2020.

Luckily after a very long wait time, the USA Embassy in Nigeria called the wife for interview after 2 years in the year 2022.

She went for the interview and was not given the Spousal visa or Green card or whatever they call it undecided

They told her to get more evidence of their marriage as the Visa Officers were not convinced they were married.

They fixed her to come after 2 months from the first interview date.

Before the second interview date, my Uncle in USA fell terribly sick were he could not speak atall.

They could not communicate with themselves at this stage.

She went for the second interview after the two months and was not given visa again.

My Uncle's case got worse that he was even brought back to Nigeria in January 2023.

Now my question is this, in such case, can the wife still get the USA Spousal Visa on her own at this stage?

What can she do to still get the Spousal Visa from here?

My Uncle is still in Nigeria as we speak.

Experienced USA migration experts, what can she do?
Spousal visa for the US is a family reunification visa.

If the husband is here in Nigeria, why would she need a Spousal visa? Where is she going if the husband she wants to be reunited with is in Nigeria?
