KingAlabi:
Goal contribution

Gundogan + KDB = 26

Bruno = 25

But trebbor says otherwise

Ever since I shamed that guy him dey fear me

Abeg help me check martial assists last season for transfermarkt again

I know what you want to do there but Please stop combining Gundogan and Debruyne goal abeg, every mallam with him own kettle. KDB has scored a Single goal a tap in against very low confidence chelsea THE WHOLE SEASON. thats atrocious.

Leyqute:
Bruno was actually involved a lot in the buildup play. He came into the midfield, received passes and distributed it appropriately.

And he gave a number of passes that could lead to a shot on target but the receivers made the wrong move.

There were instances where a selfish midfielder woulda shoot from outside the box but he was constantly trying to find Martial.

Today is not the day to criticize Bruno. Rest.

Stop wasting your time arguing with a deranged person.

JayromWrites:
[/b]across all games this season in what metric has kdb outperformed Bruno?

oh wait he was actually injured

Okay since Bruno's debut, roll out the stats


You here screaming activity


Don't bother reply, I know where you stand

Whenever you bring this question they will run away.

Chances created.
Goals.
Assist.
Big chances created.
defensive tackles and clearances.
Interceptions.

Infact City were trailing United by 3 points and KDB got injured when he returned Cancelo, Gundogan, Dias and Stones has nudged city to a 14 points lead. Now he returned and dropped a disasterclass to reduce it to 11

JayromWrites:
I actually feel you do


Do we need an upgrade on Fred?

Absolutely


Was Fred poor in this game?

Absolutely not

He redeemed himself in the 2nd half. He was lucky City were not in their elements today and our defence were solid, we would have conceded quite a few with his errors.

JayromWrites:
Just the same way you hate Pastor Fred

I hate Fred? No no way?

For me i thnk HENDERSON should continue in post, he has kept 5 consecutive cleen sheets so far

afrodoc2:
Luke Shaw is probably our best player right now. Not probably, definitely.

Luje Shaw is clearly our best player at the momenby far, the fact that he is still 25 is a thing surprise

Before his injury Pogba was actually carrying the team.

JayromWrites:
Yeah Martial missed a sitter but he played really well, had some good holdup play


He was certainly better than Rashford today


Expecting Bruno not to miss a pass is like expecting Buhari to write a book... But Bruno was by far a better player in this game than KDB(not taking anything away from the genius of Kevin)


Make we dey keep agenda aside sometimes... Kilode?

Most united fans either hate Bruno or just playing holier than thou. Bruno is the only player in this wide world that must do everything 100% perfect, if not he is poor. Other players can do whatever they like. KDB has been piss poor since he returned from injury, infact City climb up the table and took 14 points lead in his absense. City has been outstanding thanks to Cancelo, Gundogan, Dias and Stones. But our "United fans" will always roll out the palm fronds singing Hosanna in his name even in the mist of ridiculously abject performance. Nonsense

Leyqute:
Fred covered the midfield much more than McTom did today. He was also instrumental in winning some important balls that led to good chances for us.

Having said that the two of them misplaced a lot of passes. It was very evident in the first 20 mins before we surrendered possession to City. I wasn’t surprised or shocked cos I know they’re both average passers of the ball. Towards the end tho they gained a lil confidence and did better.

However, without their energy we wouldn’t have won this game with a clean sheet.

I am not denying the industry of the duo

Expert17:
Where is De Bruyne ?

They will avoid you post like the fart of a leprous witch.

KDB has scored EPL 3 goals all season, only ONE from open play, despite playing for a the team that is 11 points on top of the league and playing alongside the one of the best midfielders so far Gundogan. Protected by a word class defence.

He was also striped of the penalty responsibility after missing a number of crucial penalties.

Expert17:
Henderson 2 EPL games = 2 Clean sheets = 1 goal contrbution

Degea don't come back oo

I dont want to be early . But i just think Henderson is more of a modern day Goalie tgan DDG, yes he might have one or too iffy moments but the last matches he has played he has been very outstanding.

eph12:
Lol I didn't even see what that guy was complaining about. My point was that if you put a player under the microscope, you will complain every time

I don't dislike Fred. His work rate is ok, but in this game he is clearly piss poor, toward the end he lost another ball that nearly led to a goal and keot us on pressure with many corners. In this whole 90 minutes i just saw a SINGLE, 1, ONE misplaced pass from Bruno, how do expect me to condemn him for that? and all of a sudden i am unfairly calling out Fred. Fred deserves criticism completely for his today's performance and its not as if this is the first time he is giving us the same nonsense. Martial, Mctoms, Rashford James all have misplaced passes do you see me call out any of them? I just mentioned fred because his errors are just one too many

The counter that led to Shaw's injury scare, was a world class pass from Bruno, and he already had a few in this game already, but haters are stalking him. Agenda must Agend

Beorn:
Micheal Owen said at half-time, "I've never seen Debruyne misplace so much ball at half-time in my life. It's shocking".

Na only Bruno dem de see.

Haters are blind to the too many wayward and misplaced passes by KDB now ooo, but if na Bruno, we for don see essay writting everywhere.

eph12:
Capitalcee
would have been the one to type this if it was Fred

Come off it. Everyone of the 22 players on the pitch today has misplaced one pass or tge other, the way you guys stalk on Bruno most times one will think he is a rival player. He has not been the best player on the pitch today, but he is having a very good game. If you decide to ignore the good things he has done in the game so far thats your own cup of tea. Fred on the other hand has been atrocious today. Leave Bruno alone stop stalking him

Oasis007:


Easy again nah..... blood don cool small.

I am taking it easy but your outburst on Bruno is ridiculous considering, KDB has been atrocious today

Expert17:
Lols, no mind am

Honestly most United fans are just incredulous

olabode89:
Lmao! which miles, booth of them have been piss poor today and for a while. KDB with so many misplaced passes and shiit.

Honestly some people actually amaze me, KDB has been among the worst players on the pitch so far but Oasis suddenly woke up from God knows where to make a ridiculous comment.

Oasis007:
One more thing...... KDB is miles ahead of Bruno. its a big CRIME rating them equally.

Are we watching the same game? Your comment is totally preposterous to say the least, KDB has been attrrocious in this game? Losing possession in dangerous position, misplacing passes here and there and cant get into the game despite his team having more of the ball. Only Mahrez, Gundogan and may be Zinchenko can come out from that first half with head held high.

It seems Bruno is the only player in the World that must be the clear cut best player in the pitch to avoid being slated, others including KDB can ghost as much as they like and still be hailed.

Yes we are winning but thats a lethargic 1st half performance. Henderson and our defence have stood strong. But our midfield is atrocious, our attackers lack the aggressiveness and precision to do anything.

We are just lucky so far that only Gundogan and Mahrez seems to be in the game for City

How Fred is a footballer baffles me, what an atrocious performance so far

Joezinho:
Are you asking us? We should be asking you and your mcm.

Nice answer bro, they should continue sucking Ole's balls, even when its clear he is not up to even a league 1 manager level

MRTA7:
All I know is if Ole gets a contract extension I'm done with the club.

I am with you on this. Even Ole himself knew he is not good enough but just wanted to milk the situation as much as he could. That's why he kept sacking the dicks of greedy Glazers by keep shouting " I am happy with my squad " even though we have Magwaya, Tuanzebe, Linjollof, Jones and hospital-based Bailly as our centre back options with Fred and Mctoms(I think he will be a good bench option but not confirmed starter) as our midfield option. Ole knew he cant get any job in a serious club, so he is just using politics to to hold on to his job

afrodoc2:
This is similar to what happened with JM. We focus all our attention on one sector and start criticising only that sector as if changing just one part will solve all our problems.

Moyes, LVG, JM, Amaka. 4 different managers with 2 of them being legendary managers. We changed them one after the other but not much has changed.

The only constants in all these have been the Glazers and Woodward. They are the only ones who have been here while we changed manager, players, training staff and still got unsatisfactory results.

It is not by just spending money but spending money wisely. City will spend 50m on a player worth 45-60m but United will spend 50m on a player worth 20m and 80m on a player worth 45m.

The time I heard we were interested in AWB it took me only 10 mins of YouTube videos to warn people here that he will struggle in a top team but Woodward approved 50m for him.

In an era in which top teams are playing with high lines Woodward approved 80m on a slow defender worth nothing more than 40-45m and who had only ever played in a low block all his life.

It is about the true quality of the player not the fee that a mugu paid for him. If you put lipstick on a pig it is still a pig. If you like pay 100m for Bakayoko he won’t magically change to Zidane.

I always go back to United showing interest in Gabriel Barbosa at the same time City was showing interest in Gabriel Jesus. We have blind men scouting and assessing players for us.

We should not belabour the fact that Amaka is a mediocre manager. We all know that, however our problems run deeper than that.

Thank you doc, whenever i see the kind of playere we want to sign sometimes i wonder whether our scouts and management are drunk or what, you dont even need to splash astronomical amount on players to get quality. In the last 2-3 Years, we left fullbacks like James Justin, Matty Cash, Solly march, Ricardo Perriera etc who are very cheap but excellent to sign AWB who is clearly lacking in Attack, infact AWB only thrives in last ditch tackles which only unserious teams need to make most times, his positioning awareness is atrocious and an accident waiting to happen, how Chelsea players failed to capitalise on this during our match with them remains a mystery to me.

We left Fabinho who is even proven at high level and is clearly a baller to sign Fred at a higher price, we signed Dalot for 19m for almost the same amount as Ricardo Perriera of Leicester.

Maguire was 11m at Hull and was highly mentioned but we allowed him go to Leicester to buy Linjollof, only to buy Maguire for 80m 2 years later. There was Son for 21m, but we preferred Mkhitaryan(who was very good though). Instead of Harvey Barnes we took Giggs advice to get James. Almost all our signings since Fergie retired has been either average or outright flop except for Bruno. You cant continue signing average players on high fees and expecting them to play above their level.
Since 2017 Klopp signed Robertson, Allison, Mane, Sallah, Fabinho, VVD, Wijnaldum and promoted TAA and Gomez, that was a total overhaul only Henderson the captain retained his place in the starting XI, imagine the perfection.

After 2004-2006 dry years of Fergie, the next signing he made launched the team to very high level. We moved from Silvestre, Bellion, Kleberson, Roy Carrol, Quinton Fortune, Hienze, Djemba Djemba to the core of new signings Vidic (€7m), Evra (€5m), Van der Sar(€1m), Carrick (£15.8m) and J.S Park (€4m), Plus the maturity of Rooney , Ronaldo and a certain Darren Fletcher. Giggs, Scholes and Ferdinand have always been world class. So the quality of signings are important not amount as we think now. Fergie bought 21 year old Chicharito for $5m, who started benching big money Berbatov within few matches of the season.

Therefore, we just need to move on a lot of this our current crops and some of the starters need to start coming from the bench to usher in great well researched signings. I know the Glazers are stingy but Klopp and Fergie as aforementioned didn't spend much of fortune to reach the zenith. That's where Ole will need to be cut lose too

Illimitable:
He coaches nothing- it’s just Bruno Fernandes & vibes.

Individual brilliance has bailed him out in most of those games and some of those dodgy penalties United got in tight games.

I have written Ole since that UCL debacle. Ole is completely out of his depth. How a limited and low level manager who is clearly poor in his coach ability is made to manage a club like united, is a mystery to me

Lol. When we tell them that Ole just gathers players send them into the pitch and in sha Allah

Bombblacks:
De gea has won nothing notable at United to be considered a legend.

De gea is a United legend. I would have ignored this, but not allow you misinform others.

raumdeuter:
Imagine make dem find person wanting for the biggest game of his career

Lol

raumdeuter:
Useless Thiago Silva

Another Chelsea clean sheet with Thiago Silva on the bench

Lol. You just carry thiago matter for head, since that day wey one site said he was "found wanting" for the goal Bayern scored

NextD18:
