BikeMan:
Atleast my club noh bottle 4 semi-finals. It's a fvcking disgrace!

You club need to get to semi final to be able to bottle it

96forever:
Lindelof was better than Maguire, Maguire sleeping on duty was at fault for the first goal, people just like targeting Lindelof. Maguire was Shiite both in defense and attack.

Check the goal well and see.

Moreover if you watch the game, you will see that Maguire was very outstanding, I am not his fan

eph12:
Lol I'm not sure we can be laying blame at just one single player o

Whenever he is there, we are very shaky in defence and concede stupid goals. Look that that Stones goal, he mistimed his clearance confusing maguire and Shaw. The ball just hit stone in his shoulder to enter. Look at it from a better angle. Also his passing range is very poor, him and maguire are not compatible in defence, and tbh Maguire is better than him

codedguy1:
It was a tough game. I can't remember is getting a good CCC in the game.

Its just annoying losing 4 semi finals.

Wetin Ole wan talk now.

Lets leave it. Ots one of those days. We lost to a very good side

eph12:
A holding midfielder that can tackle and good on the ball is more important than any other position.

We have been crying for this for ages. Matic is that man, but his legs are gone. He cant last the whole season

patrickmuf:
We need an expert DM and not this McFred we keep fielding...

Thank you, they make us look like 10 against 11. 35 year old Fernandinho did the work of both of them. The 2 of them are very very atrocious on the ball and can't hold onto the ball well

eph12:
The amount of goals we concede from set peices is just too much.

Lindelof is the recurring factor there. TBH

codedguy1:
Ole himself said no excuses!

Na him go carry this loss for head like worldcup.

Man city were actually good. Did you see Dias and Stones?

Expert17:
4 straight semi-finals defeat, and you want to blame players again


Haba, no no no no

Look at City midfield, KDB, Gundogan, Fernandinho and Rodri, look at how good they are on the ball and their passing accuracy. Ole can instill that on our players, he will only coach tactics not ability.

Martial so much as we all like him. I dont think we need to continue with him in CF, we can manage him till the end of the season. But we need to find a proper striker.

Lindelof again has been very shaky and lacks ideas and Luke shaw was very atrocious.

Please Ibdont think this is on Ole. We lack quality in the middle of the park. Mctominay and Fred are not it at all.

Its very Obvious now that Lindelof is our weak link in defence.

Mctominay and Fred needs replacement

We need to rest Bruno for this sort of games.

Martial just Bleep up for this match.

afrodoc2:
I didn’t say he is not playing well but if you watch Shaw you see that he plays just well enough to keep his shirt. Little aggression or pace to his game and takes things easy UNLESS there his a threat to his shirt like when Brandon Williams first came last season or Telles this season.

If Telles came in playing at a high level you would have seen a much better Shaw taking on players and active on the flanks but because Telles is not really on form Shaw just does enough to keep his job. He is lazy by default.

Yeah. Shaw is not quick and aggressive. Like say Chilwell and Robertson.

KingAlabi:
Kai Kai

Na Arnold I want against rashidi

Na we need to Pin down Robertson from advancing forward thats more important bro. He is their best attacking outlet

ChristineC:
we need a better passer of the ball from the defensive third.
Matic will be my first sub in.

Thank you very much. Mctominay and Fred are criminal on the ball and very sloppy with their pass, we play as if we are one man down

olabode89:
Naaah... De Bruyne's passing accuracy is better than Bruno's, but the thing is Bruno likes to release the ball early.

Ofcourse and Debryune is better on the ball too. Bruno is just better in releasing one time ball. But you have to consider the quality around the both of them

KingAlabi:
If zinchenko try leave that him position

Rashford will have a field day

Rashford is our most dangerous player. Zinchenko cant try that na.

That's the same thing i expect him to do to Robertson

afrodoc2:
I have said many times that Shaw lacks drive. Unfortunately it is hard to infuse drive in someone who does not have it.

It is that lack of drive that will keep him from being a truly top LB. He does the barest minimum to keep his shirt and nothing more.

But Doc, Shaw has been playing well na. Among all the fullbacks in this game he has been the best. He is marking out Sterling completely and Debryne is also drifting to his side. He also find time to bomb forward.

patrickmuf:
Did you see his last give away? Sometimes he just slows things down like we're in a comfortable position...

Lol. I saw it. But he has been very good. He is up against Sterling and Debryne in that wing still he finds a way to bomb forward. Have you seen any of city's full backs cancelo and Zinchenko attack us? Shaw has been one of our best players in this match

Mrviktor:
See as KDB dey play neat football.... Nawah oh.

Bruno looses d ball way too much

City have better players who are good on the ball, Debruyne can do anything with confidence he has others who can clean up, Bruno doesn't have that luxury. You cant compare the 2

This City team bad gan . Na this stupid Chelshit resurrect them,
Resurrect Everton.
Resurrect Wolves
Resurrect Arsenal
Resurrect City. Nonsense

patrickmuf:
Bruno and Shaw annoying me...

What. Shaw has been outstanding so far

olabode89:
rest him for what??

we played Villa on Jan 1 and our next league game is on Jan 12... the FA cup on Jan 9 is against Watford, that's the game to rest Bailly.

Bailly will be back most probably against Burnley

elrony:
Nna ehn... Wetin dey worry this man sef?

This terrible CB pairing again

Its to rest him . It a good change

I will urge us to qatch today's match with relaxed mind with no pressure. Its just the caracao cup

timay:
This man dey read comments from this thread,

He knows this is his last chance he has to convert the remaining OleOut members on this thread, by not bottling another semi Final. I expect a string team tomorrow,minus may be De Gea, who will be replaced by Henderson

If Ole challenge Liverpool and City for the title and show strong mentality along the way. I will be Ole in. Knowing that with that mentality the trophies will start coming in.

Melvyn11:
Peter Dury during Chelsea vs Man City

1) After long city possession:
"Chelsea have touched the football for first time since Tuesday"

"The lamp of lampard is gone. Now Stamford bridge is in darkness"

3." When mendy First came,he showed his capabilities,now he is showing his kepabilities."

I swear i heard the bolded during the match, City passed the ball for close to 5 minutes Chelsea leg no touch am.
I swear Pep na wicked somebody when he wants to be wicked

BARAJ92:
It all depends on the team we are facing. I expect him to start close to full squad tomorrow, then rest players in the FA cup.
The Carling cup is the closest to a trophy

That's my point. We are close to caraboa cup so full squad is ok. But FA cup and Europa That's still far, i wont risk key players TBH

benji93:
Bros sometimes you gotta commit. Caution is a luxury you cannot afford. Compete on all fronts especially at their later stages and hope your net catches something. For the Europa league, although it's early, our next fixture is not an easy one so we may have to field a strong squad

Teams Milan, Arsenal, Napoli, Roma, Leverkusen, Spurs and Sociedad even Leicester. I will take tge competition seriously, but we a bit of a rest for key players. You wont forgive yourself if Bruno or Bailly for example gets injured in Europa, Liverpool are still rueing tge injury of Jota against Mitjdiland.

A line up of. Henderson, Tuanzebe, Lindelof, Telles, Williams/TFM/AWB(sometimes), VDB, Mctoms, Matic,Mata/James, Greenwood, Cavani, is not shabby if you ask me. I wont risk Bruno, Pogba, Rashford, Martial and Bailly in Europa till Semis, Even Shaw.

We are in the semis of caraboa cup, so i will use the big players here, because its very close to final. But Europa which is still far and uncertain i doubt, for me instead of reaching the semis and losing its better to exit now.

patrickmuf:
Martial's performance will decide which way it should go...

Martial will be up for it. I trust him. Mark this post.

patrickmuf:
Robertson will eat Greenwood and James for all of his good play whilst away with Wales is a shadow of himself at Manchester United. I don't know if it's down to the pressure that comes with playing for Manchester United...

Rashford has the pace and can either deliver crosses or cut in to shoot with his left foot. With time, Rashford will perfect his left foot and that will only make him a more complete player..

Rashford is a dangerous player no matter how people look at it. He will cause Robertson too many problems, we just need to keep him quiet. AWB will definitely not give Mane any chance

KingAlabi:
James won't be that bad against Robertson

We only need him to put them crosses in

But I will prefer greenwood though against Robertson

I dont think any of james or Greenwood will play. Ole will play 4222, with Pogba drifting to the left. Rashford on the right, any wrobg move by Robertson will be punished. Their midfield too is not that imposing, people have been overhyping Thiago, but even Newcastle reduced him to beleaguered sideways passes when he came on and Southampton simply used Diallo to neutralise him. The key to Liverpool will be if Mane, Salah and Firmino will find tgeir scoring both, if they dont, they won't do anything

patrickmuf:
Except that Ole will be tempted to play James in a bid to stop Robertson but you and I know James is shit so, Robertson will care less about him and just bomb forward whenever the opportunity presents itself...Our best bet to keep Robertson pegged back is to start Rashford out on the right even the temptation to have him out on the left against Trent is there...

Its better to leave Rashford with Trent, he will have a field day, and tgey are week on the right side of defence. However, i think ole will play Pogva front the left, so Rashford might just peg back Robertson. All i know is that their patchy defence will be completely picked apart by Bruno, trust me, we just need to be clinical
