Kwankwaso will reduce Atiku votes in kano and jigawa
Obi will block PDP's chances in SE and some SS states
Northern Governors will do anything to give Tinubu 25% from each state.
North Central with kogi,kwara and Niger can even be win for Tinubu.

Tinubu will win Borno, Yobe and Zamfara.

PaChukwudi44:
A SW candidate will never win in 2023.Where exactly will the votes come from? The mantra SE or the north continues remain

This guy you no dey tire? You have been analysis nonsense since like 2012 i have been seeing your name around in this forum. Most of your takes are filled with delusion, hate, bile and lies. Tufiakwa

raumdeuter:
Explain how this is the image of when Valverde got the ball

You are correct, if VVD ran towards Valverde here, Carvajal wont have been a threat, the hesitance of VVD to deal with the threat made Fabinho to join to help, but by that time it was late.

Expert17:
Defending is 60% positioning.

VVD did his job, cutting out the most dangerous option - Carvajal.

From this image, this should have bn a simple 4 vs 4 defending.

VVD - Carvajal

Konate - Benzema

Fabinho - Valverde

Trent - Vini

How then did Robertson allow Carvajal outrun him from the opposite direction to join the attack?

Expert17:
From this, Carvajal is VVD's man, while Fabinho should be marking/stopping Valverde (where the fvck was Robertson)

When I saw Vini running in acres of space towards Liverpool post untracked i knew there will be problem. I later saw in the replay that TAA tucked in, what a terrible defending. And you are right all these happened because Robertson was no where to be found

TrebleChamp:
He accepted after agreeing to stay as consultant, Rafiu left cos he was not offered the Managerial Job full time. I look forward to seeing his Austrian Team play gengen pressing footy, sha don't tell us he didn't have his kind of players in the National Team if he doesn't do well.....

Or the players downed tools, Lazy or have bad attitude.

Leyqute:
1. Ten Haag worked in a structured environment at Ajax. He doesn’t have that at United.

2. Ajax has sufficient footballing people at top executive positions. At United, we have Fletcher, Murtough, and Nitrogen’s friends. They’re more interested in buying a player because he has lots of Instagram followers, not because he’s technically good and has drive and the tight mentality.

Erik Ten Hag hasn’t really worked in a gbasgbos environment like United. It’s a coin toss if he’ll do fine. And with less footballing people around to support him, his odds reduces. If an animal flourishes when they’re underwater, it doesn’t mean they’ll flourish on land.

1. There is no structured environment in Ajax when they went 4 years in without a league until ten haag came in and won 4 in a row and reached the UCL semis?

2. If ETH is a good manager as he seems he should recognise when the Murtough and co are not making the right decision and consider resignation.

TrebleChamp:
Why did Rafiu accept to become Austrian National Team Manager, if he was so interested in staying as consultant and help United rebuild? How will he be effective in his consultancy duties, while managing another team full time?

He noticed the way ETH kept evading him as per face to face meeting. He knows his ideas will not be taken serious he jejely zoomed off to Austria. No sane person will watch Man United in the last few months and will be interested in listening to a man who managed the team. Can you imagine Pep or Klopp or Tuchel taking inputs from Rauf.

nitrogen:
Lol, wanted to stay but he accepted a role in Austria. Like seriously? Man Utd is bigger than that proposed shitty arrangement of working for Austria and consulting for utd. Consultant my foot!

Don't mind him, Rauf, that took over Lokomotiv Moscow and made them worse than he met them. If ETH cannot suceed without the input of Rauf then he is not as good as we thought.

MRTA7:
Seems like back to square one for the club but I understand why Ralf would not want to carry on..seems pointless if he was getting undermined at every point.

Back to square 1? Ten Haag dont need Rangnick. I told some of you here some days back

ChristoBam:
There's no way Ten Hag doesn't care about Rangnick's opinion. If that's the case, he's already setting himself up for failure. It means he's going to go into the job just like the ones before him did. You can't take everything he said literally because English is not his first language and he's very blunt.


So are you trying the judge a Consultant's job by how he coached the team on the interim? Cuz I don't understand you o.

You're just being reactionary. Attacking without basis.


Let Ten Hag come in and Ignore Rangnick. Buy De Jong for 80m, Anthony for 70m, Nunez for 80m and so on. And let's see how everything turns out.

Press : Did you endorse Raff Consultancy role?
ETH : thats on the club.

This response is simple and straightforward, in Pidgin it mean, "that Consultancy role consain una"

Press: Will you be speaking to Rangnick about his observations on the current team/Squad?
ETH: I will make my own observations myself, I will call a lot of people, I WILL DRAW MY LINE!!!.

This one is so so simple na capping here, nothing like being blunt or not being proficient in English. He simply doesnt need Ralf's opinion, simple and short,

Ralf wasn't there when he win 4 straight dutch titles and other cups and led Ajax on the verge of UCL final. What do you mean he is setting himself up for failure for not caling Rauf? Rauf called Ole and they spoke for more than 1 hour, yet he got 38% win rate and the worst manager since O' Farrell in the 70s when we got relegated.

TrebleChamp:
Am sure the people wey get that mail understand my message . That mail was for peeps who said the players are not good enough, just to give support to that failure of a manager called Rafiu. I was never in support of selling all the players, i have listed specific players i want out of the club. Rafiu era is over as a manager, i hope the club cancel the rubbish consultancy role. Let him go a face his Austrian job...

He will be exposed in Austria.

ChristoBam:
Yeah, let's leave Murtough alone to make the decisions in the club. And let's see how that turns out.

Rangnick might not be a great coach but he sure can act as a good consultant.

That's how we were all crying for Carrick to leave the club even as an assistant coach. But Rangnick ended up with Ted Lasso.

Watch the Interview with ETH he seems not to care what Rangnick opinions are and for me thats the first plus, Ten Hag knows that anyone coach or not who uses this current crop of players and yet produced relegation form like Rauf the Parrot is better ignored even as a Consultant, what is he consulting?

Seems about right. Thank goodness this season is over.

Sancho 5 ? For what? How many G/a did he have? Sancho 2 abeg.

Solskjaer 1 , Rangnick 1 Carrick 7. Everyother rating is ok.

nitrogen:
Makes sense. Got it now. I just don’t like that guy abeg! Thank God he’s gone.

Rauf na just empty vessel. No wonder no serious big club have hired him

afrodoc2:
Yeah. It seems like it.

My own is that ETH should be given all the support he needs. If he does not want to work with Rangnick then Rangnick should be completely let go. This consultancy role is too vague. Why is Darren Fletcher the Technical Director?

Exactly. Well as longer as Fletcher does not over reach his boundary he can remain as a lame duck, what I dont want is to everbsee him near the technical area, ETH should restrict him to his office

afrodoc2:
Being a coach/manager and being a DoF are 2 different roles.

I just hope so, Although ETH seem not to care what Rangnick have to say.

Please What are the functions of a Director of football?

Oasis007:
ETH on working with Rangnick: "It's part of my analysis. I analyse by myself, I observe, I speak to a lot of people, but finally, I'll draw my own line."

This simply means, he wont take any advice from Rauf the talkative. The mumu came in the first thing he did was to call Ole for phone, they spent 1 hour talking. That was when i knew the man is a fraud.

afrodoc2:
Bruno has no role in ETH's style of play. That new contract will turn out to be another major mistake by the board.

And you think ETh was not alerted before the countract was renewed?

Ehe Super assistant coaches are out to tell a serial winner like ETH who to play and who not to play. Allow the Manager make his decisions. No sensible manager will not want a world class player like Bruno to spearhead his team. Effect of 2 useless managers is taking a toll on our fanbase

TrebleChamp:
Who are this 10 players? Since it's a general consensus that all the players are not good enough. Or is Rafiu telling us the 10 players are now good enough?

They asked Ten hag if he will speak to Rangnick about his observations, He annswered that he will make observations and analyse himself and knows how to draw the line. He didnt even mention Rangnick name, he knows that Rangnick is an empty vessel that makes the loudest noise

afrodoc2:
LOL. The meaning is clear nah. That consultancy role dey vague. They should just fire Fletcher and give Rangnick is job. To avoid stories that touch.

Rangnick should stay far away from the Club, the man is a dunce. He has lost touch with reality

LesbianBoy:
Liverpool will win the champions league but you see today cup, it's for Chelsea

Liverpool is not winning the Champions league

Expert17:
Lol, GoodMorning

Good morning? I have been critical of DDG game patern for years now.

Ole na gbef, but he is better than this german Austin Eguavoen. Very uselss coach

Ellexy:
That pass alone to Cucurella is Paul Scholes esque.

Apart from the pass which is excellent by the way. Look at the manner he challenges aerial balls his positioning and calmness. Our own GK na to pin himself for goaline invitting pressure.

Look at Sanchez and realise why Luis Enrique prefer him to De gea

IfnobeGod20:
If you think Ogun State sons and daughters would leave their son and queue behind Tinubu, then, you don't know what you're saying. Both Yayi, Dapo and Osoba are not having issue with Osinbajo. They are not quarrelling and are in good and bonded relationship.
Meanwhile, some of these people that have declared would still step down, that I know and would later queue behind their preferred candidate or someone the party or president wish to support. Know this and be at peace with yourself.

Which one is sons and daughters of Ogun state again? We are telling you that these people are Tinubu's cronies and right hand men you are talking about son. Yayi and Osoba have made it clear that they are for BAT you are talking about another thing , you are only massaging your wishful thinking. The only thing that will save Osinbajo is Buhari's endorsement and I dont see that coming

IfnobeGod20:
Some of you will just sit at the comfort of your house spewing rubbish. Do you think delegates are the same as electorates. Former and present elective officials formed what is called delegates. Must of this your GAC would not even be part of delegate if they are not elective members of the party. Know that someone like Muiz and his group that have been roughing shoulder with the party in Lagos would prefer to vote Osinbajo than Tinubu. His group have been forming factional member for over two years now. Same in Osun.

Oga shut up. There will be delegate elections according to APC schedule, Muiz or whatever you call him and his group members will be weeded out of the delegate list. The statutory delegates that might not like Tinubu will not be up to 10, and Lagos will have about 400 delegates. All top stakeholders in Lagos are tinubu apologists
