Mcfred just seal their automatic shirt in Ole team, what I don't understand is why Ole is scared of experimenting with Mctominay with van de beek or fred with van de beek as it is clear that Pogba can't play in a 2 man midfield.

Happy for Simmy..so Joel is still kicking.

Injury almost ruin his career

Haba bros, Burkina Faso is a top African team na....no be 1-0 we struggle beat them for Afcon final?, Algeria self knows team they can humiliate na... Algeria cant mesmerize some decent west African teams like Mali,b/Faso, Benin

The person I quoted mention that Algeria will whip almost all African teams hence the mention of Burkina Faso. If Burkina Faso is a top African team then Cape Verde is also a top African team.

drDoom3:
Burkina Faso is one of the best teams in Africa. It is not easy to drag first place with Allgeria in a group right now. They would probably have qualified if they were in South Africa's group, Benin's group, Mali's group, or even Egypt's group.

So Egypt, South Africa and Mali are not strong team. Burkina Faso has turn to a giant in Africa football all of a sudden.

Abusule007:
The kind of players we have and the way we play when called for national duties is different from how our players play for their respective clubs. It obvious the team is poorly coached. Even smaller countries now that are supposed to be afraid of the name NIGERIA are now confident they can get something out from playing with us.

The way Algeria is destroying countries currently with goals, any country they're to play against presently, they already have upper hand against such countries because those countries will be afraid of them by default, confidence level would be low.

Here in Nigeria our coach have ridiculed our national team. Even me here is currently thinking that my estate boys here can hold their ground against Super Eagles coached by Rohr.

As things are presently it's better they're even coached by the captain Ahmed Musa.

Rohr dey vex me but Pinnick dey vex me more because he knows the coach is no more in the good book of we the fans of the super eagles but they don't want to fire him.

What did this same Algeria play against Burkina Faso

andrewbaba44:
So because shittu performed without having a team , then maybe we should be calling players who are bench warmers

And yes musa will surely go to the world cup, But we should qualify first

Club performance should not be used to judge a player that has always perform for the national team, anytime they are call upon that is the point, some players perform at club level and flop at national team.

fabyom:
Iheanacho and Musa added nothing of notes to the midfield!
Our midfield going forward should be Ndidi, Frank and Iwobi. Chuz, Ejuke and Oshimen in attack.

Musa added nothing yet provided the assist for the first goal yet Ejuke was brought in, Entertain us without any goal. Musa must surely go to the world club, he has not disappointed in a Green White Green shirt, It remind me of German podolski who continue getting national team call up even when not playing for club. Shittu perform without having a team in 2010 nationals club.

klexycole:
Balogun scores!

Assist by Musa.

CAR 0 - 1 Nigeria

Musa is going to world cup, only injury will stop him.

CrystalTiger:
Possession wey we dey sakamanje by exchanging back passes between our CB them and McFred

Did you watch the match?

hoopLA:
Someone was hailing him shamelessly for the criss that led to the winner in midweek.
Imagine that.
A €50+ million player lobbing a ball into the 18 yard box is being lauded.

My wife was watching the game with me on repeat. We saw the score and decided to watch it via DVR.

She said she would be willing to bet anything that Everton's goal came from Fred's wing,as she put it.

Lo and behold,our man didn't disappoint with his usual activity forming, wristband throwing antics. Thank amadioha that I refused to stake my dinner,else I'd be typing this on an empty stomach.

Acted like he was going to deal with the situation. Two times in one sequence.Failed to bully skinny Demerai Gray,the Leicester reject,off the ball.

I saw something earlier on. The same Townsend took Shaw on a run in the 2st half and cut a cross from the byline,behind the Scottish Bakayoko, McTominay to Docoure. Meanwhile Doucure snuck stealthily behind him, and traveled at least 30m to receive that pass while one half of football's Dumb and Dumber duo was ball watching.
Everton would've taken the lead,if not for a well planned block by Wan Bissaka.


If Ole is playing a double pivot with people who actually have sense and can actually pass,read games and mark properly, it wouldn't be so bad.
But he actually defended playing those two clowns for so long in a press conference last Tuesday.

At that moment I got confirmation that we shall proceed nowhere with this aberration of a manager.

Clap For yourself.

Ole needs to do serious work on that Defence, 4 players going to mark a single player is disgusting. Fred must be apologizing to his teammates for his part in the goal concede though he is not the only one to blame, where was wan Bissaka?

Mrviktor:
In games where we move d ball fast we always trash d opponent.

D problem is when we play teams that play low block.

Like Chelsea. Like Burnley.. Like arsenal.. Like Newcastle.. Watford... Brighton...westham....

Nd co.


It's only against man city.. That d team comes alive.. Cuz it's attack against attack..

3 times, we tried moving the ball fast against villa real, it was stopped by Ronaldo first touch.

TheLequte:
A VDB-Fred midfield won’t do worse than McFred TBH.

Van de beek fit in a flat 3 man midfield like that of Liverpool.

Illimitable:
How was your McTominay? Was he not on the pitch in the first 70 minutes? How did he fare?

Scratch that. McFred played against the part-time graveyard workers of Aston Villa on Saturday, how did they measure up? You said if we have those two in the midfield, we can never lose.

What was the outcome on Saturday. They were so shyte that you were embarrassed to come out after the loss. Pogba had one average game today and you are already outside with your Itshekiri wrapper ready to start a civil war against him.




So one player is the reason United couldn’t keep the ball and were opened up time and time again in the first half. This Pogba agenda of yours is totally embarrassing. Instead of you to blame a manager that cannot organize a team or coach his players to be press-resistant, you are blaming Pogba for United’s woes?

Pogba played as LW on Saturday - your favorites were in the midfield and they were totally destroyed by the mighty Aston Villa. Where was your outrage then?

To be sincere, Mctominay and Fred are not good at protecting the defence, we need to play with 3 Midfielders that can both win the ball back and attack as well not just a DM.

Pogba or Bruno should be bench for Van de beek, let see how the team will fare with Mcfred and van de beek. We have Sancho, Greenwood, Fernandez, Pogba, Martial and Ronaldo who are ahead of Ziyech, Havertz, Lukaku, Mount, Werner, Pulisic in attacking play, yet chelshit just use 3 of them or 2 of them to play most of the time.

Joezinho:
We literally have one of the best midfield and attack in the team any club could wish for in which we should be dominating teams with on paper,but yet every game we struggle to score.

I wish we pressed more like a unit for longer periods of the game.

Balance is key while is PSG also struggle to score goals ligue 1, balance is key. Bayern score goals for fun with their massive attack and massive defence.

patrickmuf:
Baba this is one of the biggest issue we have...Zero pressing.

Matic, Fred and Mctominay were all on the field when we score . This is to show we need urgency in the middle.

eph12:
So nobody is going to commend Fred for that cross? No wahala, we go again tomorrow

This is not the first game, Fred dey give delicious pass, Abeg I wan join Ur Fred FC. No be everything be about exquisite pass.

olabode89:
Thunder go fire Ole if e start that wasteman Sancho over Lingard on Saturday.

Lingard is good as a sub not first team

96forever:
And we thought they’ll be parking the bus

......

elrony:
Make una dey fear God for this thread abeg.

Criticising a player is one thing, but premeditated attack is another (like y'all been praying this day (yesterday) comes)

Wetin I never read for here?

Bruno is AM version of Fred
Bruno is responsible for the team not holding the ball
Bruno is statpadding and chasing individual glory
Bruno is ghfsxytjjjjj...

Eye wey dey cry dey see road o!

Yesterday loss is on Greenwood and the coach(though injury limited the changes he could such as removing Pogba for Sancho)

eph12:
That's the same team capitalcee is claiming have only Kante as the DM. These people lie through effortlessly

The funniest aspect of all is that Carrick and scholars have a lot of other players putting defensive shift.
The stats they provided of Rooney was when he was part of the front 3 with tevez and Ronaldo, yet he still put in defensive shift.

If Fernandez is playing the supporting strike role then the two on the wing must be ready to contribute defensively.

The major problem will have is Ole is lack of idea on how to utilize the players or should I call it fear of experimenting with his squad nothing stop him from using a midfield 3 of Van de beek, Fred and Pogba in midfield with Bruno on the bench in some games.

Even, if he want to use Mcfred with Pogba and Bruno then he must be willing to use an attacking Right back and use 4-4-2 formation with Ronaldo and any other forward.

Not every game require, this 4-2-3-1 formation. Both Bruno and Pogba are quality players on their day but at times need to sit on the bench to know they are indispensable. Again the Ronaldo signing could be a curse in disguise as Ronaldo might have to sit out some game or be sub out which Ole won't have the ball to do it.

eph12:
Because Kova and Jorg are not doing anything. Because Tuchel is playing just Kante in the middle with 5 attacking players. Sometimes I do wonder if you guys ready understand what you're dragging

Chelsea that is playing with 7 Defensive player excluding mount.

Expert17:
I just showed you how Bruno's defensive stats is better than the Rooney you mentioned.

Scholes and Carrick won't need Bruno to drop deep

We use 3 Midfielders, Rooney was either Supporting Striker or a striker. There was either an Hargreaves, Fletcher or Anderson to assist in midfield job.

Illimitable:
Injuries to defenders?

Shaw that was rubbish before he got injured. Matt Cash terrorized him all day.

He won't have sub Shaw, if not for the injury, he might have make some other changes which could have led us winning the game. The loss is still on him.
Football is not straightforward.

timay:
The excuses you guys give for Ole is just making people laugh at this team. If a player gets injured or if we had a red card, it means winning the game is out of question? Even when the opposition in such games are mid table teams and not Bayern Madrid or Man city.

Then we are f .u.c.k.ed and will never win shit under this coach. Because injury and red cards are part of the game and it will happen every once in a while. If the manager of a top team like United can't manage such situations and he has an empty brain to tweak his tactics accordingly to get results, then we are better off with someone Like Genot Rohr or Sam Allardyce as our coach.

Whether you accept it or not that is a tangible excuse as it allow the coach to use 2 subs which he won't have make.

Illimitable:
You know it’s a different thing to lose a game after playing so well and losing via a deflected shot.

Villa actually played better than us - with average players. That was the concerning issue. Any manager can lose a game, it’s the manner by which he lost that matters.

Ole saw how dreadful the first half was and he made no tactical change until the 80th minute. United were a home - he’s got the players he wanted.

What’s the excuse?

Injuries to defenders, There is always excuse for every failure but after seeing Tuchel work wonders on chelsea, Ole needs to go.

Illimitable:
I thought you were defending him during the week and drawing comparisons to SAF losing to Southend.

Even Sam Allardyce would have us playing better football than the shit Ole is offering.

Not every thing is on Ole, the Mid week loss is normal in cup games, the guy I quoted was allover as if it was a new thing to loss a cup game and such won't happen under Fergie.
Even this defeat na normal things wey fit happen under any coach but Ole has to go since he can't guarantee us success.

To be sincere, the 2 force defensive chance affect Ole subs but still he has to go. A better replacement will be Zidane.

patrickmuf:
Joezinho, I knew it was going to be tough...

We don't have a coach. If Bruno had score, Ole fans would have flooded the thread to defend him forgetting that we were shit for the most part of the game...

That's how we scrapped through West Ham and his fans started celebrating forgetting that we didn't play well for extended periods of the game. Ole will not take this team anywhere...

This is the best time to sack Ole, Zidane should be bought in as soon as possible.

ChrisKels:
Name the Algerian Starting 11 side by side with Nigeria's then tell me who is better.

Mention Nigeria Defenders alongside the Algerians

Danielnino00:
Who said his performance is abysmal?

What point exactly are you trying to prove?

The main point many of us here hold is that our team right now is much better than it was many years ago, on paper we have the best squad in Africa...So Rohr has no excuse not to deliver!

Simply put, we want him to do better...


Again,what's your own point? It is until we have 10 players playing for Barca, Chelsea,Man Utd, Liverpool,Bayern ,Man City and PSG before you can agree that we have the quality to win trophies?

Currently, we have zero player playing for any of this team while other African team has. Senegal team is the best on paper not Nigeria.

ChrisKels:
Your argument was that prior Rohr's arrival, we missed two major tournaments. So, during those periods(2015/2017) we had Aiyegbeni, Emenike, Obafemi, Mikel all playing together abi?

Keshi won us something with a weaker team against the Ivory Coast's golden generation that boasted the likes Drogba, Toure brothers, Tiote, Arthur Bokar, Didier Zakora, prime Sol Bamba, prime Emmanuel Ebuoe, Prime Salomon Kalou etc. With the likes of Michael Babatunde, Keshi got us to the second stage of the world up, tell me what your Rohr has been able to achieve even with far more quality players playing against opponents that are totally inferior to CIV's golden generation

They were all available for call up.
Inferior team won the nation cup just like Greece won the Euro cup in 2004.
Why didn't the Sam coach qualify us for nations cup
