elampiro: Not really exactly the same thing. He thinks Valencia's lack of attacking ability was the reason the play shifted to the left, but I think it was just tactical. Mourinho would ordinarily load that area to prevent Swansea from attacking from their strongest side. Swansea might also have come to stop either Martial or Sanchez whoever started from that side. Mata is less of a threat, they could do with one man with him.
Valencia may also have been stationed back to help cover the space left behind by the CB who might have a busy day going to the left side to tackle.
And you rushed to defend your man same way you do for Jones or Rooney
sinizia: Blame Azpi, Blame Moses, Blame Chris, Blame Rudiger. If we continue blaming everybody, how are we going to parry on this thread? Even when Ä40 is leading in prayers and worship, and Afrodoc2, in soul music, una still dey partake in the usual blame game. OK, let's put the blame on Akon like he admonished us all to do. So, can we get back to the party while a search team is sent to dig up the shame of Diggz? Tenk you.
Pastor Leyqute, summarise the prayers let the party start.
chidexxy007: lol @bolded.. I didnt even need Mou to tell me he had a bad game. I don shout tire as i dy watch the game about the guy's positioning that night. Twas nothing but appalling to say the least.
ThankGod for the international break though make everybody go chill. Hoping we have some respite here on the JM, Heritage and whatever issue.
Truth is, I've always said here, Shaw hasn't shown he's better than Young.
Some Dudes are very funny on this Thread. United Players are already accustomed to conservative Football. They are overly used to defensive Tactic, thus you can't expect them to play offensive football perfectly because of Two Days Training Session.
Mou was only looking for flimsy Excuse to exonerate himself. Moreso he subbed off Luke Shaw simply to make him a Scapegoat, coz I see nothing wrong the Lad did in the first Half of the Match.
How did he expect United Players to play fast attacking Football because of just two Days Training Session?! Did they build Rome in two Days?! It took Man City Players a complete Season to master Pep's attacking Philosophy, hence Mou is only fooling himself not us.
He does not want to be criticised, he believes he's the best and immune to making Mistakes, hence any Pundits that critique his Work or Tactic must be paid back harshly by him. Thank God the Season is almost end, so if he's tired of managing the Team, then I advise him to mutually renege his Contract at the End of the Season.
Fact! Soon he'll be more direct and claim he has been betrayed and that he took them to a level beyond their abilities. We dey here.
elampiro: Lingard has played 1781 minutes with 13 goals. He is our second highest goal scorer in all competition this season. He has played less minutes than Martial and Rashford. Yet guys here think he is all about activities.
It looks like Martial and Rashford are the activity players in United. They keep trying things, dribblings but no goals as such.
Forget all this stats! Anyone that watches Lingard knows he's average and should be a squad player, best as a sub player when opponents are tired and he can use his quick movement and marauding runs. But start him in games and he looks clueless and a headless chicken most times. Dude is not that intelligent for the role he's given, but just like Fellaini, it's about how the coach uses them to tap their full strength.
This is why some experts say “statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.”
liveLongNprospa: One day, you fans complain that he protects players too much. Okay he decides to criticize players, you fans are still complaining.
Who what do you guys want ni? For those saying leganes beat Sevilla, Real Madrid has also lost to some shitty teams too. I guess it shows their players are better than Madrid players.
Una can complain sha for this thread kai.
Pls don't even compare our case with Madrid. Thank you
elampiro: The heat map shows Salah doesnt play in the box.
No doubt Liverpool plays attacking football, but truth be told, Lukaku is not capable of scoring the first and third goals of Salah today even if given 500 years. Salah scores strikers goals as well as great individual goals that are expected of Messi.
So is it Lukaku fault he's not gifted like Salah and Suarez and co
