I dey tell people say the guy is becoming more and more like Firminho, but with goals. . His hold up play is incredible. Man Utd had a good team, Just no consistent creative midfielder. So when Bruno got here it looked like he transformed everything. Not quite. Just that he was the missing piece.

andrewbaba44:
Martial should be united player of the season

But the yeye fans will be shouting Bruno Fernandes from no where

The defender wan kill Chukwueze ooo.

Make them enjoy these two years of dominance, while it lasts. Their story na that of regent, na to hold the kingdom dey wait the correct king. . I see a legit decline in dominance that has already begun. . The premier league story will not be that of the sky and earth next year. . I hope you people go join the adventure. I hope say Lampard dey learn sense.

Edopesin:
men Liverpool fans make mouth before the away game

Atletico cannot win in Anfield they said

Man Utd succumbs to the superiority of Liverpool for now. You have earned it. but watch your back. And leave us let us play our Europa, a beg. . And stop lying, you haven't gotten over it. I am sure you wake up wondering how that happened.

Danielnino00:
Congratulations to Atletico for kicking our ass home and away..
We have gotten over it already..

Can we now talk about Manyoo's Thursday night football exploits?

You people never learn. Always resorting to an old evasive tactic. Na Athletico we dey discuss. They kicked your ass home and away. Na wife you be to them.

Danielnino00:
Your mates this season are LASK, Copenhagen,Rangers,etc .

Ofcourse i was hoping you would get to this point. .

Danielnino00:
Manyoo can, face your Thursday night football and leave those in the champions league alone..

Yes big deal. I thought you were the champion. You got skinned. Yes, they are your mates in Europe. . You are already out of the discussion of the next champion, . Take your L in good grace.

Danielnino00:
Meaning what na?

Atletico beat us. Big deal?

But are they our mates in Europe?
Absolutely not!
Europa league is the only thing they can brag about.

But Athletico na your mate abi? Na your senior self.

Danielnino00:
There's nothing to be happy about..
As far as Europe is concerned,Man City aren't our mates.. ..

You are just a Guardiola fanboy,nothing more..

In few years time,you will be claiming Newcastle fan .

I almost talk say you don start again , until I go watch the highlights. The ball got stuck between his legs at a point. I come dey think say na now him dey learn to ball ni? Abi him leg comot for boot ni? . It was weird. If it happened from a miscued pass, fine, but he pushed the ball, then that happened, as if he forgot he had the ball. . Quite embarrassing. Besides he had a chance in the 18-yard box, at least hit the ball make them block am or make keeper parry am. Na straight to Iyana Ipaja. . Maybe na just today, cos he was ok in the previous game.

ChrisKels:
I have been one of the super defenders of Nacho in here, but honestly, stats can be deceptive. Nacho doesn't really offer nothing but the goals, can't control the ball, poor first touch, loses possession more often than not, when he is given a pass, the ball will always find a way to get stock in between his legs, as he struggles to sort out which leg to use, boom...he is dispossessed already, he can't beat his marker, even to give accurate pass, na war, always marking his opponents from behind to give needless fouls. Whenever he gets a pass, there is always a 90% chance he is gonna mess it up by turning it over to the opponents


Man! Kelechukwu Promise Iheanacho is becoming quite terrible and irritating to watch.

Man, enter who him head? I no be Chelsea fan. The guy whose comment my post was a reply to argued that Lampard cannot be blamed for this loss, citing that the team he's had for most of the season isn't. And he mentioned that Man U has Pogba e.t.c and is struggling to break into the top 4. My point was that some of these good players he claims Man U has were injured for an extended period of time. And even in that case, Ole was getting most of the blame for the mediocre results. Meanwhile, what do you mean by na youth Chelsea play this season? Na only them? Which team is more youthful Man U or Chelsea? So Lampard does deserve some blame. The team was terrible. The problem was bringing Man U into the conversation without getting his facts right. Talk your own.

Neobulletzz:
Oga injury dey part of football, that one no concern anybody

Should I tell you the only world class player Chelsea get which is Kante too have been battling with injury too this season so Wetin you dey talk

Una dey forget say na Youth Chelsea play this season and fatigue go surely dey

The only thing be say Chelsea win for that beginning of season don enter una head too much and una dey forget day fatigue go surely catch all these players

When Lampard dey win for beginning of season una no talk Now fatigue don catch the players una dey complain

Man, Greenwood is a striker. Ole favours Martial as a striker and I quite understand why. His hold up play is really good. More like a false 9. The frontline for Man U are interchangeable for the most part, and you may have realized that they have been interchanging their positions for a while now. Rashford switches with Greenwood, Martial drops back to contribute to a build-up. Greenwood, although is the right-winger on paper plays very close to the box. In fact you could say Man Utd has been switching between 1 left wing, 2 strikers and 1 left wing, 1 striker, 1 right-wing. Greenwood is playing on the wings because regardless of whether he is a natural winger or not, it's worked just fine so far, and he's been scoring recently too. Clinical!. We better not get carried away though, we'll have to see what happens. I personally don't think he can play point 9 though, at least not now. He's quite small. He'll get manhandled unless he drifts wide occasionally.

andrewbaba44:
I don already tell you wetin I wan tell you so you can pick your choice

The last time I checked greenwood Dey play as a winger so na only you know wetin you Dey yarn

I don’t know why you have to even compare a winger and a striker at first ,not surprised because you will do anything just because you hate Tammy

Smh

Shut up man. . No make i vex at all. How many matches has Pogba featured in this season? You people go talk say Man U get better team, but these players have been rolling in and out of the squad for a significant number of games, until recently. Rashford for almost 2 months and Pogba for more than half of the season. The motivation of players is part of the duty of a coach. When you are a goal down, a coach has to find a way to get his guys to get back in the game. You people dey talk like Chelsea has had a terrible team all season. Lampard was outclassed. I hope he learns from it.

Neobulletzz:
All of una wey dey shout Lampard dey bias, something dey una Brain Walai. Chelsea no sign any player and una dey complain say person dey use Wetin him get

All the defenders are useless but what do you want Lampard to do, because they are useless so he should not play anybody, Oga he go use them like that, na Wetin he get, make una no vex

Person no fit sign, una dey complain say he dey use Wetin he get, he for no play anybody na

Lampard is bias, na English club he wan turn Chelsea too, yet his first two signings none is English, even Havert wey he wan sign no be English but na English team he wan turn Chelsea too, una funny Walai
If he wan turn Chelsea to English team why he no promote more English kid instead make he dey buy German players or the Morocco player, meanwhile Lampard sanction the signing of Kovacic abi that one self na English, una funny Walai

Nothing wey Lampard fit do, the whole CB wey Chelsea get, dem be crap but he gats play dem like that abi because them no good, he go say he no wan play any defender, una funny Walai

Deep down everybody knows Lampard has tried this season, no transfer, loose your best player yet you dey top 4 since beginning of season till now, abeg Tottenham wey get better coach in Pochetino before dem sack am, where he carry dem reach
Man U wey get Pogba, sign Maguire gan still come sign Bruno gan self never see the top 4 enter yet

Make una stop to dey talk nonsense when someone is just using all he has at his disposal

Person dey even complain say Lampard sell Luiz, no be the Luiz we dey see for Arsenal, how is he any different than what Chelsea have at their CB

I have a good feeling say na Man U fan get Sheffield United. . Abi wetin be this? Man U dey continue their record of winning by at least 3.

Abeg anyone don do research on Sheffield united? Na subsidiary of Manchester United? No wonder Man U borrow them keeper. . @Edopesin, any information?

@Edopesin, where you dey? No drink Otapiapia yet ooo. Time still dey?

You don't need an equation. What you need is an understanding of probability. In probability, projection is usually to the goal. You could call it an extrapolation. If in a sample of 100000 people there are 100 left-handed people, it's only reasonable to extrapolate that to a sample of 1000000, in which case you would expect 1000 left-handed people. In fact, if you take several samples of 10000000 people, the higher the number of samples the more your average approaches 1000. It doesn't mean in reality you will get 1000 the first time, or that you will get 1000 if you do the sampling 1000 times. Probability in itself is a tool that should help you make reasonable predictions, especially when you are trying to understand what's gonna happen if you are not a prophet. . Saying specifically that, there's no probability equation anywhere that says if you play more you will score more is the stance people take when they want other people to think they know a lot, when in fact that statement is not useful.
So while you are all over the place accusing people of showing favoritism, prejudice, perhaps you could look inward. Maybe you are being prejudiced yourself in your submission on Kelechi. Please if you don't know much about a subject, especially as applied to something, it's better not to talk about it. Don't bring it up. You can definitely have your opinion on why Kelechi won't do well if given more time, but in a gathering of people, personal opinions are not a good base for any argument. We can never agree on anything cos our premises are different. So their opinion that Kelechi will do better when given more time is definitely reasonable. You are being disingenuous if you think otherwise. I would think that in arguments regarding statistics and projections, accepted logic should be prioritized as a basis for making statements over sentiments. You can definitely come up with something more concrete on why you think Kelechi will not do well. But going hard against a useful tool-probability- is a very bad idea.

komekn:
That's not what l said that's what you perceived and what you want to believe, because it's suits your prejudiced notion and favoritism towards KC.

To remind you, the substance of my proposition is very simple. I repeat, " there is no mathematical probability equation that says if you play more you will score more.

But what you want to do is create a theory for KC alone. Which is if KC plays more he will score more because he is KC.

That's not just favoritism but being delusional.

US/Canada is a lot higher? When considering migrating to a different country, you better not just think about the salary. The cost of living and growth are other factors you may want to consider. Besides this moment what Nigeria needs are innovators, people that can start something up, especially in Tech. If your friend is quite good and he's got a creative independent mind, maybe he should consider starting something up. Nigeria is a market waiting to explode. I hope Nigerians can realize this and get to work before these foreigners take over everything, and leave us with very little to call our own.

gimakon:
A quick question I want to ask and know hearts of peeps.

I have a badass programmer pal. Full stack engineer. Recently did a job for someone, and made some real good cash. Like up to $120,000. The money came from building software for 3 microfinance banks in the country.
He earns over 450,000 Naira as salary here in Nigeria as well. We got talking yesterday and he's telling me he cannot stay in Nigeria, that he's resigning immediately after lock down for airports are over.

His argument is 450,000 Nigerian Naira equals
1,162.97 United States Dollar, wheras in the US / Canada for instance, the salary is way higher.

Question is what do you think ?

Guy, no make i vex you ooo. . Rashford is Trash? Which kind weed you dey smoke. .Besides Rashford has improved over the years. They don't all have to be at the level of Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandowski e.t.c, and still be very good, possibly contributing to multiple championships. If your argument is that English players are usually overhyped, then i agree. Even some of those players you mentioned barring injury played some decent football over a period of 2/3 years.

humility33:
Lol...bro that was how Rashford started na even walcot, weilbeck, lingard and Jordan Ibe, Dele Alli and more

I am not moved by all this....just give them few years and see how well he goes

Not when you buy multiple players at a price totaling about 150 million.

andrewbaba44:
There is no risk buying a player for 7 to 8 million euros if them flop you go move on easily

When VVD finally decides to take on a forward instead of receding.

TheSuperNerd:
It's no more vacant. Leipzig have found a replacement already.
They have gotten Hwang Hee Chan, RB Salzburg forward (wore #9 for them) who formed an attacking trident with Minamino and Haaland.


He is the one who did this to VVD in the UCL.

And yes, he scored right after bamboozling VVD this way. Red Bull clubs no dey laugh.

The point no be say you no fit get players from there. You fit, but na very high-risk players. There's a high chance that bringing in a player supposedly doing well in the "backwater leagues" will fail in the premier league, especially cos some of the players you could get of that amount are still budding. So quite understand why they would turn to the championship or other premier league players, cos, for the most part, these guys are used to the premier league or to something of a similar level of difficulty/rigority. So as a recruiter you gotta make a choice. Do you want to take the risk? Or do you want someone that has a higher probability of fitting right in. Now there's the problem that the players you get from the championship/Premier league are below average anyway, why would their former teams not renew their contract unless they are from the championship or you are offering a better salary. Besides some EPL teams still have decent academies.

andrewbaba44:
The players they buy from Belgium and co Go kuku carry them go relegation

Epl teams no go ever learn ,their academy no kuku good to help them

Why don't you write that proverb in Yoruba. .

sheyishemba:
I won't blame oga komekn actually he Is a true definition of one Yoruba proberbs that says if you don't see others people father's farm you will think your father's farm is the biggest
Komekn only watch the leagues in England had it been he watch others leagues probably his perspective about judging players would have changed
I think what's actually wrong with oga komekn is ignorance nothing more I don't see hatred in him he should try to watch others leagues

I beg stop that scouting issue jo. You go into the market to get a good player worth 15/20 million, in this age. It's very unlikely that a player worth around that amount is even above average. Besides, you are assuming the Serbian league is a breeding ground for good players. Some of the players may be good, but then those are worth a lot more. You know see how much Ajax they sell their players, even those that are not quite at the top. And ofcourse you fit go buy player for the "back water league" if you dey compete for the Portuguese league.

andrewbaba44:
Hahaha

If you scout well you go use am buy 7 to 8 players from back water league

Go check where Benfica Dey buy players from make you see

And please check where the almighty lewandowski was purchased from and the price and how much bvb made later in selling him

150 million on 3,4 players probably. But on 10 players, hell no. It's not enough. You forget there was already a lot of craze in the transfer market by the time they went in looking for players. Maybe 4 years ago.

andrewbaba44:
Who told you it’s not a good investment ?

Carry that 150 million go scout for Turkey Serbia and some others backwater league you go get better players pass the nonsense wey Aston Villa buy

150 million on over 10 players. That's not a good investment, honestly.

Blueelf:
I'm not sure...,just read it online in an article

150 million for how many players?

Blueelf:
To think Aston Villa spent 150million Euros to sign players....

This life no balance sometimes

Well, well. I definitely get your point.

maynation:
He is better than those overrated pieces of poo.
I'm not interested in this boring game, all I want is for my fellow country man to break the record none of those over rated losers can ever go close to breaking.
Thank you!

Are you kidding me? Boring? You are a classic reason why they say kids should shut up when the elders are talking. Why should Ighalo be part of the first 11? Who is he better than in that frontline when all aspects are considered? Utter nonsense. . Why you know go leave us self, en? Despite say you don win the league, you still no dey satisfied. .

maynation:
Someone give me one reasonable reason why Ighalo wasn't part of first 11 tonight?
Ole doesn't want him to break Jimmy Hanson's record?
Honestly, he is the only reason I'm keeping up with United's boring matches.
This match is so boring as usual.
Come on!!!

That happens sometimes, even to a team doing well. Complacency of some sort. Although they kind of came alive in the last 10 minutes or so, with the short passes and movement that led to Bruno's header that went wide. We do need that depth though, especially to put some of these players on their toes. Ofcourse English players are usually overhyped. . We do need that back up creative midfielder though.

kstyle2:
Pogba and Bruno have been sloppy with their passes. We really need to add depth to this team and sell Jones, pereira, smelling, lingard, Sanchez, rojo and bring in quality players. We shouldn't sign grealish cos there's nothing special in him. Just another over hyped English boy like declan Rice
In all we do, getting rid of Jones must be a priority

Wetin Iheanacho collect from your hand. . Suggesting that he's not a premier league material seems quite unreasonable, honestly. HIs so-called improvement is not good enough? What's your benchmark for decent? or your benchmark for good? Perhaps your benchmark is exactly why you are being too hard on the guy. The circumstances he's found himself in doesn't provide us with enough sample size to properly judge his performance.

komekn:
Vardy earned his game time by performing consistently and continously .

KC simple after three seasons of impotency last season 30 games and 1 goal. He has done nothing to justify more game time.

And now he is getting games and he has done a lot better than last season. But his so called improvement is simply not good enough.

You think that is biased, plane facts have become bias.

Benteke moved to Crystal Palace for £27 million. Liverpool sold him knowing he was off the boil.

After all his pedigree Benteke is essentially dead Crystal Palace keep playing him because they can't afford to bench him. He also is impotent and dead.

No matter the minutes or games Benteke plays he will not be prolific and the same goes for KC.

Be careful, some of them may be roaming around oooo.

ChrisKels:
No reason am bro, some days are like that. Apologies from this angle too.


But but...how kwanu u go reason say I be gay, me of all ppl? gay? Tufiakwa!!

Man it's not conclusive that it was actually an act of patriotism. He didn't get a call up from England. Perhaps he assumed that given the talent influx into the English team, it would be hard to break into the team. Hence choosing Nigeria was kind of a foregone conclusion. It would be easier to call it patriotism if he got call-ups from both teams and he chose Nigeria. Although we could say Okocha had some influence on his decision.

sheyishemba:
Actually it not about mentorship of okocha it because of his patriotism he wanted to play for naija and he did let's not forget a full grown Nigeria that still snub Nigeria for Togo it not about mentorship it about where the heart lies thats it
