Wetin De Gea do you?

Dont you see his sloppy distribution and clearances? Mind you he is NOT at fault for the goal.

Expert17:
De Gea needs bench....

Why are they always passing to him? What is Ole doing sef, if he doesn't know how to coach defensively he should employ a defensive coach. A team like city would have scored us like 4 in this first half

MRTA7:
For who? you must be joking.

Dont mind him, Fred is the one that should warm up for Pogba. Apart from his loss of ball in dangerous positions, he rarely put his body on the line, very slow and lethargic.

To be Frank we are very very poor in this first half. Magwaya, De gea and Pogba are playing like as if they played a bet against man U

donjazet:
All these permutations won't be necessary if united losses any of their own match.

Forget it it's not happening. Our last game with Leicester will be a dead rubber for us.

Zabiboy:

Suddenly, Albert Einsteins don join this thread ...
Anyways, as you are doing your calculus, Chelsea cant beat wolves on that final day...
I dont know of Liverpool bcz they'v won the league

Odiegwu, Liverpool wey de vex say they draw Burnley, they will so much dismantle chelshit eeh, Salah go use them win golden boot. And what if the unthinkable happen and Norwich come do lords work on Chelsea nko? Statistics go change oo?

afrodoc2:
See as people here come humble like Uriah Heep.

A swear, few days ago, they said we should leave them alone and fight with Leicester, now jungle don mature, shkpeteris don find their level. Lol

Unlimited22:
If we beat Norwich City and Leicester don't beat Sheffield, three points from the last two games will suffice.

CapitalCe please come and show me your Further Maths teacher. I Wan go learn permutation and combination

No, you should pray Man united dont just win all their matches before the final day. If not Chelshit will need 4 points to be sure, your GD is very bad. Your fate lies on Jose Mourinho's Spurs next weekend.

Lana1:
Abeg make dem leave Magwaya at home tomorrow.

Am telling you. The guy de fear me, magwaya turning be like where those big tipper wey de carry wood from forest to timber shop

Griffon:
I don't see us losing out to Liverpool and Wolves though. A draw at Anfield and a home win over Wolverhampton is on the cards, you can watch this space.

Even if we lose to Liverpool, and play out a draw with Wolves, which apparently is the worst case scenario, I don't see our closest opponent Leicester beating Spurs and Manyoo.

And if Wolves are to stage a late fight by beating their next two opponents; Burnley and Crystal Palace, all we need is just 4pts to stay above them, starting with Norwich on Wednesday.

Folks no need to panic.

So you want us to do you a favour e kwa??. In case you dont know, we are trashing Southampton, Palace and West Ham to qualify for champions league before our match with Leicester.
Therefore, You better not lose to Liverpool, because we are fielding Chong, Lingard, Perriera, Ighalo and co vs Leicester. Bruno and Pogba will be rested for the FA Cup Finals against City.

- Lose to Liverpool and your point gap with Wolves could be 2 points. With that your Kano Pillars goal difference, we go sell match give Leicester while Wolves go finish the job.

sinizia:
Please, don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting dropping Matic. I only remembered the incident. The incident wasn't even a major threat like Pogba's own that almost cost us a goal and Matic wasn't really close to our 18-yard box.

I'm in support of sticking with this 11, but Matic, Pogba and whoever should be smart enough not to take unnecessary risks in front of our 18-yard box.

Thank you very much sir

Expert17:
Fred will be dispossessed even more.....

Fred energy we are talking about is for what exactly because if we talk of defending.....Matic is better and even the attack, Matic is likely to assist or score compared to Fred.

Fred is a player I like, and Ibdont have any problems starting or playing him, my point is this starting XI is working fine, it's better we maintain it, no need gambling. We can try out other players when we are secured.

sinizia:
I remember that incident, it was a pure foul and the ref should have blown it. But Matic was slow to release the ball before he got out-muscled.

Is it only matic that get outmuscled, thank God you said its supposed to be a foul, nobody is immune to losing possession. Like I mentioned before Pogba nearly cost us to concede first, does that make him slow? Please now we are close to the prize, it's better we stick to the best line-up. If it's not broken why fix it?

Leyqute:
Not talking about Pogba.

Matic was outmuscled and dispossessed in front of the box while trying to make a turn. Thought the ref would blow a foul but he didn’t.

Ok. But the most dangerous chance that we conceded and villa nearly scored was a mistake by Pogba, he was crowded and dispossessed. Moreover if you want to be a big team that control games you need to take risks to keep the ball. You are just probably banging on about the incident because it's Matic, and you always feel he is slow. If it were to be another player, you won't even remember he was dispossessed. Matic is an experienced player and he knows what is at stake, he needs to start next match, font worry he will not be overrun

Leyqute:
Your brain and good use of the ball will be useless if as slow as you are, you are overcrowded and denied the little time and space to do your thing.

How is that hard for you to grasp?

There was a time Matic was dispossessed in a dangerous position during the last match and if not for luck we would’ve conceived.

For most of the first 20-30 mins we were denied space and prevented from relaxing into our usual rhythm and playing our style.

Is it until we concede from one of those that you’ll understand ?

It’s not “energy over brain”, it’s all about finding a solution to the problem- that will most likely present itself tomorrow evening. I don’t care who starts or not, I just want the 3 points.

It was Pogba not Matic that was dispossessed that nearly led to a goal.

Lmaoooo

CapitalCee prophesied and it came to pass


Cc Skimpledawg, sure say your mantle never fall for gutter?

It was an easy prediction. I knew Chelsit will not win at Bramall lane

adebayo201:
Let's keep passing the ball around nice and simple.

We're pleased.

We chelsea need to keep it simple. Even if we get trashed, it's ok by me

Khaytunechi:
The downfall of a man is not the end of his life!

Positives only. We are still moving the ball around nicely, Hudson Ode needs to come in to spice things up!

Lol. This boy eeh you no well. Moving the ball around nicely while they keep scoring you

Mcburnie!!!

Henderson owe us a clean sheet in this game

Chelsea defence is very poor, I honestly advice they should forget Havertz and co and go for Pope and quality CB and LB. Chelsea's attack is very good. A good team will score lots of goals against them

I must confess, this pussilic is sharp and direct. But he is losing today

Nicky Pope is the best EPL goal keeper. And he has been so for 2 seasons now

afrodoc:
That’s another angle. I hear they press really hard and adopt a Klopp-like Gegenpressing style.

Make Ole sha ensure the 3 points na the koko.

Meaning they will leave space behind their full backs, we should pick them off with counter. A 2 goal lead at half time will calm them down

Oasis007:
I don't understand why some Folks are calling for the Players' rest. Why do they need rest, if I may ask? Fatigue? Did we forget these Players have rested long enough? Thanks to Covid-19.

I don't see a Reason for altering, tinkering the Lineup for now. To build a Team, solid Team, you've got to playing them together at every given Opportunity.

Check Barcelona, Madrid Lineups, they barely change their respective Lineups, bar Injuries - same thing applicable to Bayern.

Fitness is all matter, if they're fit to play, so be it.

Dont mind them, some people de do like say dem no know wetin dey at stake. Even Martial and bruno were not happy with being substituted last match. It tells you that they still have the energy to play. Moreover a keen observer will notice that Rashford is beggining to get his mojo back, why rest him?

adebayo201:
This coming week is quite a busy week for the team... Monday, Thursday then Saturday.

In my own opinion, players need rest but it should be a kind of rest that will be systematic. Play 70 mins then rest for the next game.

The back four won't be change except for a card or injury (God forbid). I know William can come in for either Shaw/AWB and Dalot can come in for AWB but he hasn't got any game except the FA which he's substituted after some minutes.

Bailey too can come in for Lindelof. The last match really shows the compact in the team. They're gelling little by little especially the 'second midfielders'.

Nobody needs any rest. Ole is starting the same first eleven till we secure top 4. He is managing it well, that was why he substitute the key players after about 60-70 minutes. 60-70 minutes every 3 days for a proffesional footballer is not too much.
Also notice that as the game progresses and we have virtually put the game to bed, we usually slows the pace of the game to conserve energy. Let him continue this way it's just 5 games or possibly 6 with FA cup finals. Then after that we have LASK but with a 5 goal lead, rest everybody, then that quarter final we can rest more players. Then start the semis with the best eleven as well as the final.
To make top 4 this season is a must, so the team must sacrifice immensely to ensure that. Any more slip ups might prove costly. I trust ole he will continue with the same eleven

Oasis007:
Ralph Hasenhüttl (Southampton manager): "It is more important that he's [Solskjær] convinced about what he's doing, and at the moment he proves all the 'experts' wrong. It's an impressive turnaround he made with his team."

- Sky

He should compliment this quote by fielding a weakened side against us on monday. After all they are no longer in relegation fight

sylvalord:
On Reddit, instagram, Twitter and even Nairaland, the hate on Manchester United has been overwhelming in the past days/week.

Like, I can almost taste their hate and fear.

I guess they are so scared that United may be back.

I am telling you. Rivals are scared down to their pants. I can feel. They frantically rush to every of our article to cry. I love it

ovoP:
Wolves will always be Wolves.. They are always a tough nut to crack especially when they are the underdogs

We will beat wolves, I pray we get them. They were tough but because we were toothless then. Now we will easily brush them aside

ovoP:
wolves again!! either wolves or Sevilla go give us problems

If we meet wolves, we will beat them hands down. They gave us problems when Lingard and Pereira was marshalling our midfield
