1. Indeed. I've eaten the humble pie on this one. I was one of those who didn't want him here. Dude has upgraded our midfield from less than 40% to well over 90%. Hope he keeps performing at optimal effeciency like this till his last days as a United player.

2. He definitely is. But sentiments and popularity contest will still give Neuer the edge over De Gea right now. Plus Neuer has won the UCL and World Cup plus multiple league titles every year. But right now, De Gea is definitely in 2nd place....forget Buffon!

3. True. Fellaini did nothing wrong today. Its impressive tho, his transformation from the shît player that caused the last minute pen vs Everton last season to the important 1st team player he is now.

4. Thank God. He's obviously an upgrade on both Shaw and Darmian. But he needs to improve his crosses and he needs to look up when making forward runs.

5. Honestly, Mata is still putting up reasonable shifts compared to Mkhi. Mkhi is just a fûcking stat padder. He really needs to step it up. Right now, he's not looking like he was ever the Bundesliga's best player.

6. He's 19. Lets give him till end of season. How long we go keep using this excuse for Rashford? Simple things seem hard for him. He hardly beats the defender anymore and he's crosses are poor. Granted he's a Striker not a LWF, he has been really poor.

7. True. His finishing can be better tho? Just like the miss vs Madrid, he really should be scoring those even if he was on crutches. But his link up play has been good. 7 in 7 is well deserved.

8. I think it was a good performance tho. Say 7/10.
Defensively we were solid. Midfield looked decent with Matic and Fellaini breaking up Everton's attack all over the pitch. But poor decisions in attack, crappy finishing and 2 or 3 of our attackers giving a shît show made the game look harder than it was. A more clinical team would ve ended that game 7-0.

9. True.

10. Lol.

You are correct. Especially on Young, then for mikhi I just like the guy, just like most United fans, but him dr fall hand, apart from that goal that luks put on the plate for him, he is the worst player on the pitch, even behind poor Rashford.

WHAT I LEARNT FROM THIS GAME.

1. How did mourinho know Namenja Matic will be this fantastic, very excellent signing. MOTM.

2. De Gea is the best goal keeper in the world. Yes he is better than Neuer.

3. The importance of Pogba is evident, Felliani is a very functional player.

4. Young coming back from injury is a huge boast.

5. We need upgrade on Mata. Mkhitaryan should sit up.

6. What the hell is wrong with Rashford, Although he is just 19. He is excused this season

7. Lukaku 7 goals in 7 game. Very good striker

8. The scoreline flattered us, it's a poor showing.

9. Mourinho was very correct to offload schnerderlien, he is a shitty midfielder

10. Rooney na my main man but him wan fall my hand, De Gea saved us big time.

A UK-based civil society organization, Citizens United for Peace and Stability (CUPS) said on Friday that it is gathering facts about the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, in a bid to ask the Government to revoke his British citizenship.

Dr. Idris Ahmed, the Convener of CUPS said the move seeking the revocation of Kanu’s British citizenship was connected to alleged acts of “terrorism perpetrated by IPOB, including the recent attacks on Northerners living in the Southeast.”

“The CUPS organization has started compiling evidence to pass to the British Government to strip Nnamdi Kanu of his UK citizenship,” he said.

I got to London Gatwick Airport successfully yesterday and used medview airline. In spite of the bad review I have heard about them, I decided to use them because they were cheap (165k) and my pocket was very slim.

To my surprise, it was a very smooth flight with no delay. POE was also quite friendly.

Who else is in London? We can meet up!

Where did you move from, I am leaving from Abuja on Friday.

Please guys, what are the Flight ticket option that I can buy in Nigeria, it's urgent. I need to leave latest Saturday. Please help me I am new to ticketing. Abuja to London

Justwise

Visa granted

Like play like play Lukaku don de knock in goals ooo, 6 goals already in 6 matches. At this rate and without injury, he is a nailed on 30+ goals striker. He is proving me and some people wrong. Good signing!!!

Very nervous, just hoping for good News. I know my God has done it.

MoR2:
Capitalcee i said some, BTW lukaku is an amazing striker but 2 of his goals re rebound; u forgot d first goal stoke city double hit, or self rebound.
i didnt watch pogba's swansea game, but he should keep his performance level high consistently

The first goal at Stoke was scored by Rashford not Lukaku. Only one of Lukakus goals is a rebound. The other 3 are smart finishes. But I think I understand what you meant.

raumdeuter:
What is the difference between performance and result?

So what would be given to the man who destroyed Ferguson and Man Utd not once but twice, including at Wembley?

Sam Allardyce spent 8yrs at Bolton winning nothing, Tony Pulis spent 7yrs at Stoke winning nothing

HMMmm the two managers you mentioned brought out those teams from lower division on a tight budget, and cemented their premier league status,why should they be sacked? You haven't mentioned a mediocre EPL manager that stayed longer than expected.

MoR2:
Common some of dos goals were accidents waiting to happen, jus like lukaku's rebound goals.

d goals didnt happen bcus of pogba's technicality, creativity nor a force of will 2 drive d team forward. they werent a result of individual brillance like u cud attribute to fabregas or de bryne. is pogba a team player or a super star, yes he is very important in man u's attacking play n maybe his team mates re a mental block or its just d style of epl. am nt underminin his ability jus dnt rate his impact in man-u highly yet

d real pogba is pure magic, even watching messi play like ozil, even as a madrid fan e go pain me watch

What do you mean by Lukaku rebound goals, ?he scored 4 goals already this season only 1 was a rebound the first against westham was an excellent finish in a tight angle. Nawaoo.

Accident waiting to happen? None of them as a result of individual brilliance? Or a drive to push the team forward? Are you for real? I am not particularly a Pogba fanatic but let's look at some of the goals he took part in this season.

-Man United 3-0 Swansea. He dispossessed a westham player and played it for mikhi, them ran towards the goal to receive a pass from mikhi to chip the goalkeeper brilliantly from a tight angle(no individual brilliance? Accidental?)

- Man United 4-0 West Ham. He collected a pass from the back and escaped tackles from West Ham players to release Mkhitaryan who laid it to martial.
- Man United 3-0 westham. Pogba received a pass outside the box from Martial, and finished with a brilliant curling effort.

- Swansea 0-1 Man United. His effort on goal was parried to the corner by fabianski, Blind took the corner, and POGBA rose highest to head towards the post, which hit the cross ba, Bailly reacted quickest to bundle over for the opener. (Accidental, and no technical ability to push the team forward)

- Swansea 0- 4 Man United. A run from Pogba from the midfield resulted in him releasing Martial, who finished brilliantly.

- Man United 1 - 0 Leicester city. Pogba's 1-2 with Rashford, resulted in Rashford forcing a corner. A corner kick from mikhi led to Rashford finishing, with Pogba even having a slight touch. ( I think I see no desire here)

- Man United 2-0 Leicester city. Pogba release Lingard whose cross ricocheted off Felliani for the goal.
- Stoke 1-1 Man United. A conerkick from Mkhitaryan was headed towards Goal, by Pogba but came off Rashford and into the net.

So what do you mean his goals and assist are accidental and lacks individual brilliance. So what type of goal did you want him to score? May a 40-50 yard screamers just to satisfy you? All those midfielders you mentioned, can I have their respective contributions to their teams so far? Please. Pogba may not be the best in his position , but his performance so far this season is very satisfactory.

MoR2:
so capitalcee, verratti, de bruyne, koke, thiago, kante, erikson are all average midfielders?

these guys are visibly d heart beat of their teams

only 2 CMs are better dan dem in world football n dey play for madrid

And they are all better than Pogba? HMMmm. Let's just discontinue the argument, I see you don't just like him.

MoR2:
TBH d france n juve version of pogba is far better dan all dem n is top 5 in d world but dis red devils version of him is poor, maybe its Mou I dnt knw but dat spectacular stuff abt his game isnt.

how can a player dat outshined in juve n france midfield be outshined by a manual DM - Matic

You may be right, but as good a signing that matic is proving to be, I don't see how he outshines Pogba. Pogba has a hand in virtually all United goals so far this season. Go and watch those matches again as a neutral. He is just being given a bad name to kill him.

MoR2:
Pogba is 24 so is Veratti n he is better dan Pogba.

age grade +2 or -2 years. so include those that are 22,23,24,25,26. derfore CM: De bruyne, Pjanic, Koke, Kante, Thiago, Erikson are all better CMs than pogba

So all these average midfielders you mentioned are better than Pogba? I see.

raumdeuter:
Yes way more than any other league. Wenger Moyes all held posts at top clubs for years without winning anything

That cant happen at any other league

If pep was English, he will be managing Exeter city by now. Wenger won 3 FA cups in 4 years, and have already won 3 league titles before that, Moyes only managed a top club for just 11 months, taking a relegation threatened Everton to 5th-7th place finishes is nothing to be ashamed of. He was sacked at the stadium of light at the first time of asking

Lana1:
E be like say any form of fight on this board now, na to go dey dig up person profile.

Imagine I wasn't even having a fight with him, he is already on my profile. Thats how they went and dug out some gibberish from Funlord profile just to blackmail him, even when it has been proven several times of his innocence. The other other i day one was already mentioning Nnamdi Kanu, Tribalistic nonsense, on a sports forum, just because someone did not have the same opinion as you. SMH.

Griffon:
I am sure your stupidity scares you at times.

You have been registered on this board since 2013 but it took you nearly four years to find your voice. Give me a reason why I should take you serious?

You have never had an opinion of your own. Your logic is fake, Pamela Anderson's titties are more original than your views.

I wonder how these fellas here manages to put up with your intelligence quotient which competes with the temperature of the north pole. Anuofia!

This is a mismatch, go battle with the retardss on the streets, cos that is where you belong you son of a dissociative identity disorder parents.

You went ahead to peruse my profile so that you will use it for an e-fight, HMMmm you failed. In case you don't know I am a very responsible person. You can't blackmail me. Now don't quote me again

lordfalcao:
important things like pogba on the same level with kroos?.

Nobody said that. And everybody is entitled to their respective opinions

afrodoc2:
Guy stay in your lane . I never paraded any stats comparing Herrera to Kante. It is not by force to quote people, if you don't have any profitable job to spend your time doing please go kick rocks.

I tire oo, person go de discuss important thing, one mumu go just come from no where com de show im stupidity for public.

dubylhover:
yup that match exactly,he was a beast there..it was at that time he had issues with pep...
that's y at times its just frustrating to watch pogba becos he actually has d technique,strength and ball playing abilities..but it just seems like he really doesn't understand that in d end,its d simple things that matter..but nonetheless the d guy is definitely heading to d top

I remembered the first world cup match Joachim low played him in 2010, when he is coming on I was so happy for him that finally this guy has made it to the National team. He came close to equalizing for germany. Guardiola made a mistake letting him go, although he replaced him with another midfield "chairman" Xabi Alonso, but the Spaniard is already declining at that time.

For Pogba his showboating is too much, and it's getting into his head, I am surprised that a pragmatic and direct manager like mourinho could allow that in his team, may be there is another reason he is encouraging him to continue with his style of play. Yesterday only Mkhitaryan and Matic has the urgency of the Fergie era when we are searching for a winner in a match. Pogba had no urgency at all. When mata and Martial came in they upped the ante a bit. But why I am not totally worried with him is that if you check almost all the goals we scored this season, he usually have a hand in it.
In our game against Swansea he had a hand in all the goals, vs Leicester city he produced the coner kick for the goal alongside Rashford and had an assist yesterday. So he is vital to the team, whenever he has a poor game the team don't look good. Mourinho has a big work in his hands to make him graduate to the next level.

dubylhover:
go and rewatch the champions league game between arsenal and bayern Munich at s emirates when bayern beat them 2 0,I personally haven't seen a midfield performance of of what kroos did in that match for some time

Yes yes , I now remember. He was unplayable in that match. He really took on Arsenal on his own. Robben got a penalty for the second goal after Kroos scored with a fantastic curling effort. You are correct

Griffon:
Are you terminally mad? If you didn't have any intention to engage me in a discourse, why this response to Sircumalot?



Funny enough, this Kroos-Pogba comparison came up after MrBleach opined that Pogba would walk into Madrid first XI seamlessly. But your despicable mind felt this has got anything to do with the Stoke game.

You better maintain your lane whenever I am around. I've got zero tolerance for bullcraps.

I wanted to thread with civility ab initio but it seems you dont have any in your locker.

You are a mad son of an I.diot. when did I quote you? Are you sirCumalot? Why are you running upandan barking like a rabid dog. Can you Mistake of reproduction show me where I quote you? Is it by force to communicate with you. If you don't like my comment why don't you scroll pass it. Look Mr don't go with me down that line you are heading. You may be a jobless and frustrated e-warrior but it's my advice that you should mind your business. I am Not your match in every life endeavour.

Griffon:
May amadioha curse you with midgets as kids, you Capitalcunt.

I am yet to see a poster on this board with so much stored up chagrin.

WTF is wrong with you?

OK. I can see you came with a vendetta. Even when I didn't quote you initially. I can't even remember any conversation with you. You are living up to the tag "Shekpe fans"

Griffon:
You argue with so much hate and with no facts.

You are like the pharisees who would kiss the devil just to make Jesus look silly. Same group of ediots who let a criminal free just to see Jesus get crucified.

If Pogba finds himself in Madrid, he can never replicate Kroos' output. His showboating won't allow him.

Last season, Kroos' 12 assists in La Liga left him second only to Luis Suarez, a forward, and his rate of 2.8 key passes per match was similarly second, only to Neymar.

What has Pogba got to offer?

A CM should know when to slide open-play passes around to his mates in key areas. Should know when to dictate the pass of the game. Should know when to break up play and retain possession.

You still believe Pogba does all these better than Kroos?

I want to start taking down the names of the scummy posters on this thread.

Get out, you are not sensible .it seems you can't read.

eph12:
What I don't understand is if Herrera is a defensive midfielder now? He should be creative na

Herrera and Matic can't just function together it seems.

dubylhover:
Okk,I guess kroos is just lucky to b a very compenent in an "all conquering" Madrid and German team..
anyways like they always say s best midfielders are not really known for their stats and numbers...

let's not prolong this issue Brah,I just wanted to know your opinion abt d kroos pogba comparison and I have

Kroos is a player I like very well, I followed him right from when he represented Germany in U 17 World Cup, but yes he was lucky to be among that all conquering team. I have not seen, may be their might be, I don't know, a match which Kroos dictated generally on his own and won it single handedly like the Zidanes, Roy Keanes, Xavis, Nedveds, Pirlos, Vieras and some others I may not remember. I am not downplaying his abilities mind you, but he can't measure up to the above mentioned midfielders in their prime. At least I have instances where they have on their own dragged their teams over the line at top level, but can't remember any for Kroos(although he might have, but I have not seen or remembered)

dubylhover:
are you also of d opinion that pogba is a better midfielder than kroos?

I am not here to argue with you. Pogba has scored 2goals and 3 assist already this season in 4 matches. With very satisfactory performance so far. Show me the midfielder who has a better stat in the premier league. I am not saying Pogba is better than Kroos. But you cant bet a dime that if Pogba was in exactly the same position in the all conquering German and Madrid team that Kroos had been. That he won't win all those Trophies he (Kroos) has won.

SIRcumalot:
similar technical ability but pogba has the edge over him physically and his also a better dribbler.
as soon as utd return to where we bin dey before una no go fit deny him talent again. that day,dey come.

Don't mind him we played one draw in a difficult ground he is already permeating his hate on Pogba. Kroos was there when Madrid drew at home to Valencia and levente I mean levente oo

What the hell is players like Damian doing in a big club like Manchester united? That guy is championship quality. Herrera has not started well this season.

kelvinze:
They are the only people that will tell you players who played 10 minutes all season played more than those with 180 minutes because the one that played 10 minutes was playing 1 minute across 10 matches which is more than the other one who played just 2 full matches of 90 minutes. ...This got me laffin hard

Joeace2020 have said it all , we usually ignore I'd.iotic comments as the one you quoted. With time you will know them, don't waste your time arguing with this bluemumu, even when he/she comment on their thread. The sensible ones among them will be ashamed of themselves. More recently bluenobrain typed that Christensen of Chelsea is better than all United defenders and that Batshauyi is a better player than Rashford.
Beware of Hen's brain another shekpe fan, his football analysis will leave you astonished for weeks.

This is a real dilemma for you, I wish I can help you just that I haven't had such experience before. Lalasticlala please help this man push this topic to front page.

hoopLA:
Not sure that is the case.
We have to wait and see if Zambia can beat Algeria tomorrow.

Even if Zambia wins tomorrow they will only have 7 points to our 10 points. A draw against them next month in uyo will see us knock them out on head to head. That draw will also see us surpass Algeria no matter what happens tomorrow. Cameroon are out. Summary is once we draw next month, we are on Russia no matter what happens any where.
