Your troll game is weak. I thought you were talking about big games?

1) Man Utd vs Assanal, a team that has never won the Champions League and last won the league when Stormy Daniels was a virgin is NOT a big game.

2) Name an attacking player who has never had a poor game.

3) Add all the goals and all the assists of your 3 best midfielders in the last year and compare to Bruno's. I want to check something.

Dont mind that Arssenil fan. Even chelsea their big london brothers couldn't keep up the heat, na this bottom team wan come bring mouth

sod09:
Did we demoralised you at OT too
3 years going no win against useless arsenal in EPL
It's a fvcking disgrace

Even Palace have won 2 consecutive years now at Old Trafford, so a bottom team can occasionally fluke results. Burnley have also not lost in 4 years at OT. Burnley, Palace including Arsenal are all bottom half teams so its not surprising.

sod09:

So United is a big club
From UCL to Europa

Show us your team in this table. Any team not in top 10 of the league is a Bottom half team. Show me Arsenal here.

Dimwit
The auba that danced galala in OT this season

With a penalty abi, and since then has been battling relegation

afrodoc2:
It is shocking that a fan whose senior forwards include Pepe, Willian, Lacasera, and the ultimate ghost Ozil is coming here to talk about ghosting.

Dont mind him, They managed to string together few wins against demoralised Chelsea and their fellow relegation fodders, they think they can come here and troll.

Leave shalaye ozil is no more with us
What did Bruno do against arsenal?

Arseanl is not a big club anymore, so his performance against Arsenal is irrelevant. Talk about his performance against Leicester, Southampton, West ham, Aston Villa, Everton and Chelsea who are all above Arsenal.

Leequte:
Dude. Bruno is our best player, no arguments about that. But that doesn’t absolve him of due criticism- not censure. You will only pamper him if you don’t want him to develop.

If he fixes that part of his game he’s going to be ballon d’Or material in less than a year. Or is it when he starts dropping performances like Lindelof before you dare touch the sacred cow?

I wouldn’t even blame him much for the loss to City. I think OGS should get the lion share of the blame, but that one no mean say if player no dey do well for one aspect of his game make person keep shut.

I am not absoving him of blame completely but most of his performances are not even due to his ability or talent, it is mostly due to his determination and character. Yes he need to fine tune his game, and address some aspect of his decisions but the overeaction from some of our fans is nauseating, its not pampering its a question of making general adjustments and seeing the best way forward.
Do you think Bruno is dumb or he likes the miscued passes? In our game vs PSG Mbappe miscued several passes and misses sitters, does that warrant excessive mob action against him, even KDB most of our fans are creaming over have several stinkers of games this season, if you want i will count them for you, wasn't he there last season when Bruno tore city apart last season, or when Chelsea and Spurs destroyed them or when Lyon kicked them out of UCL, how many City fans did you see stalking him? This is because on the balance of things he is a performer. How many games have KDB played this season, Mane, Kane, Salah, Aubameyang compared to Bruno. If he start dropping Lindelof performances then its on Ole for not managing him very well or not getting his tactics right, because Bruno has shown that he is a world class player. A prophet is not well regarded in his town

sod09:
So none of you will talk about how bruno always ghost in big games
All i see is bruno is poor, bruno is tired yenyenyen
E go soon clear for una eyes

Keep quiet there, you are talking nonsense. Since Bruno came,

-Vs Chelsea in February he was the man of the match and he has one assist and bossed the game.

-Vs City he bossed the game abd has 1 assists plus Man of the match.

- Vs Leicester city he scored and was the man of the match.
- Vs Sevilla he scored and created several chances which our forwards wasted
- Vs PSG this season he scored and bossed the game.
- Vs Spurs he scored but we went down to 10 men, he was subtituted at half time.
- Vs Chelsea and City in league were all cagey affairs with no stand out players and they both played for the draw.
- Vs Leicester away he scored and assisted.

It was only tge last city game that he failed to perform, and he has won many games for us. Mind your relegation threatened side and leave Bruno alone. Aubameyang that earns 350k/week has scored only 2 open play goals this season.

As for me, I want Bruno to sit this one out.

No be every game he and Maguire go dey play.
Ole should ve sense and rest legs this weekend. The Burnley game is more important than the Watford game

No he should not have sense and rest the first eleven in a match against a championship side. Bruno, Pogba, Rashford and AWB are tired and need rest, they are not machines.
We Criticise Rashford for missing chances and cant run well or get past Zinchenko, when he has played 4 games in 10 days including playing almost all our games this season, how many games have Zinchenko played this season or in the last 1 month? Is he not a human being?

KDB has played 6 matches from 1 December till our last match with city, Bruno has played 11, how do you think the energy and psychological level will be the same? Hiw many matches have Gundogan, Fernandinho, Foden, Mahrez Rodri and Bernardo Silva played thus season or since last December? How many have Rashford played? Ole has consistently failed to use other players to compliment the key players and same thing happened towards the end of last season and we lost 3 semifinals and lost momentum in the league.
This City game and the FA cup versus Watford is supposed to be played with Mata, James, Telles, TFM, VDB and Greenwood. If we crash out of the FA cup for me i dont care, this FA cup will only congest our fixture list the more and our players will run out of gas in key moments, and lose in the semi as usual, so why not play the fringe players till may be Semis before bringing in the key guys?

From now on, the best thing to do is to play the following players on in league games. Bailly, DDG, Bruno, Rashford, Pogba and AWB. The rest should be rotated evenly in other cup games, Diallo, Pellistri and other youngsters should be played versus lesser opponents too in cup games. You cant overwork your players and expect them to match up other team players who are well rested.

I expect fans to bomb Rashford against Liverpool for not outrunning Robertson, but will forget that Klopp only plays Robertson in league games and important UCL games. Or will expect Bruno to have same energy like Wijnaldum or Henderson who doesn't play many matches.

Leequte:
I don’t know about others but for me, Bruno sometimes make some decisions which, if not rushed, would’ve gotten us a goal or a good chance at least.

That’s my beef with him.

I don’t care if he loses possession trying to make an adventurous pass inside a crowd. I won’t berate him for that- as long as we don’t concede from it.

However rushing decisions when there’s still time, space, and options won’t go unnoticed by me. There was an instance yesterday where we were like 3 on 2 and Bruno attempted a one-time, very difficult to execute pass to Rashford. He miscued it and we didn’t score. That was the wrong move to me, not gonna lie.

You don’t have to be a Zidane or Iniesta to figure that out.. Why rush and lose the ball when you could still make magic happen 2 seconds later?

That’s the ish I’m gonna criticize him for. Not gonna spare him in that regard.

Tenkyiu

You might be right, but every player even Messi, Ronaldo and Maradona have off games. I can list several instances this season where he did not rush his pass and it came off well. Lets stop behaving as if Bruno must be performing at optimum level every game. NO PLAYER DOES THAT, Bruno has bailed us out in many occasions this season, so its simply an overreaction. Why cant other players perform when he has an off game? Must it be only him everytime?
I have seen on numerous occasions when Salah, Mane, KDB, Son, Kane, VVD etc, some of the very best in EPL miscuing passes and shots in key moments and have off games, their fans dont jump out en masse to mount a revolt against them. I will start slamming Bruno when he have a consecutive 8-10 off games. Out of the over 20 games we had this season how many times have you seen him play bad? Most legendary players only turn up 7/10 games, even an inanimate machine is not 100% efficient.

dammywapes:
If you still believe in clueless ole kna fela song i go play for you “I sorry sorry o” nani667 i dey with you. 4 straight semis no final what a record. Kna premier league una dey wait wey make una still believe him when he jinx it kna here we go dey.

Guy forget that thing. The loss is not anything to be bitching about, let it go, its a game you wun some you lose some. This is simply overreaction

ChristineC:
I decided to micro-watch Bruno and KdB last night and I didn't see a difference on how they use the ball. one lost the ball just as much as the other, with a minute difference of Bruno being the more adventurous. KdB patiently loses the ball and Bruno impatiently loses his.

I know we put our players under much telescope and they appear worse of course, I wasn't surprised to read back on the pages and saw much praise for KdB's use of the ball.

Thank you, we are quick to jump on the bandwagon. Last season at old Trafford, KDB was there when Bruno bossed the game and we won, even this season the first match KDB was no where to be found, we have watch several and several matches this season and last season where KDB dropped disaster classes. But we expect Bruno to play like prime Zidane for every single match, even though he has been playing virtually every 3 days since season starte, including international games.

Last night, Man city pattern and transition was way above our own, they have Midfielders who are very good on the ball, look at hiw Gundogan and Fernandinho use ball and how they pass, then look at Mctom and Fred look at Martial in our attack, what do you want Bruno to do here? Yes Bruno was sloppy at times with possession, but the team overall was out of shape. I know its an unpopular opinion but there was a spell of some minutes where we were on top after they scored the first goal, KDB was subdued, he rarely touched the ball. If you swapped Bruno and KDB yesterday, KDB will still not do anything, not as if i am doubting his abilities.

Expert17:
We must win EPL oo

Its not a must calm down. Just challenge for the league and stay very close. If we win it fine

❝we need a proper DM❞

❝We need a proper Striker❞

❝we need a proper defender❞


We will keep needing untill the club will declare bankruptcy because of Ole...


As usual I will keep praying for the masses to wise up

This man sef

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.
