Ya, it's accepted.

Ibime:
My people, come celebrate with your boy. My wife just dropped this little girl earlier this morning

Congrats!

elrony:
Nope... any positives at all?

We won. Still same lackadaisical attitude on the pitch.

I'm concerned of our game against Leicester cos we play the laziest type of football. I think most players are here just for the pay showing no commitment or passion.

elrony:
We played shiity today?...

You didn't watch the game

Hope we can make top 4 with the shite of play.

Jose should get gift for this GK



Rooney, Young and Rojo. smh

Equalised!

Mensah has been poor. He's not ready yet.

Rojo sha

Rooney! Buhahahah

Rooney for CF

G sorry to ask how much do you trust this travelstart.com.ng because there price is very cheap I just checked USA ticket for my aunt and it's like 1/3rd of what she told me he was given 1.2milliin ad against 400k on travelstart.com.ng I want to buy for her that's y am asking sorry for derailing the forum

I think they're reliable. But 1/3 Check well maybe one is round trip and the other one way. You may go direct to their office if you're in Lagos at No 38 Opebi Road Rearwing 2nd Floor Ikeja Lagos.

Hahaha! Pogba for Saloon d'Or.




Still early days so relax.

Above is the u23 player rating vs Villareal Reserves..

Our best players were Poole, Harrop, Riley, Tuazenbe and the newly promoted Hamilton.

From what I gathered from Tuazenbe, he's more of a dribbler than a passer. He's got great physique which makes him a beast in the defence and he often loves to dribble with pace from the back whereas Poole is the better passer and has better vision. Both are like Bailly and Blind combo in defence although Poole is an agile quick player with lot of composure in tight place unlike Blind.

Anyone can be good in the youth na the upgrade to epl be the koko. Their chance will surely come.

eph12:
How do you start attack? Is it rocket scienc? How does a Busquet or whoever starts attack? Is it not by releasing it to a player in a forward position or am I missing something? Win ball back or receive from the defender and pass to a player forward abi no be so? Which of this is Fellaini not doing?

Guy it's more than just releasing the ball to a forward player. The timing has to be right. 2 secs delay can kill an attack not to talk of making the right decision in the pass. Dude has done ok, though too limited, but for a club like United, more than that is needed. Other midfielders around him are also slow both in thought and feet.

Abeg, not another series of epistles here

ThePfarrer:
Mehn thanks ooh! I can't even explore the earlier option, Royal Air Maroc only flies from Lagos and I intend flying from Abuja.

Just checked the travelstart(.)com(.)ng, their prices are very decent. Thanks for heads up.

Gern geschehen. Which date are you looking at?

weedtaker:
how old was pirlo when juve were dominating serie a and reaching the ucl finals?

Pirlo na even Scholes' father not to talk of Carrick in the midfield.

ThePfarrer:
Ok. I have been looking at Turkish Airlines but they only give the amount in dollars and I was wondering what their actual Naira charge will be.

I will look up the option you mentioned. Thanks a lot.

You can view the amount in naira. Check for small box by the right side for currency exchange or book via agent, it's cheaper. I used travelstartdotcomdotng for Hamburg and also travelling to Kiel.

And better you book flight to Hamburg cos the hours of journey from frankfurt or Berlin to Kiel is too much while when you consider the bus/train fee and exchange rate with your luggage then you'd know it doesn't worth it. I've analysed it before I booked.

weedtaker:
carrick and blind??

Blind has been tried there and we saw he was average while Carrick is ok but we know he's old and now has tired legs.

eph12:
I guess Pogba is more at home at the left wing than at the centre which means we still have to spend again to bring in another midfielder. Chai! Upon all the money we have spent? Jose should just go to ligue 1 and get a tireless midfielder jare. Someone that can press all over the pitch.

Pressing cannot be done by only a player but by the whole team starting from those upfront. We've DMs that are OK but the issue is apart from tackling/defending what else they've to offer. In top teams and modern football, they should also be able to start the team's attack and or serve as a holding midfielder otherwise his fellow pair of midfielders should be able to cover those weaknesses very well.

weedtaker:
seems u misunderstood me, i mean we have midfield options that can make our midfield good.

Truth be said most are average. We're missing that orchestrator.

weedtaker:
its a shame our own fans can't even address and analyze our own games, some are just set out at lambasting pogboon at any given chance, pogba even said that his best position is on the left side of midfield yet people are yarning bullocks, pogba is not a no.10 neither is he a CM in a pivot, and our problem is not in the midfield we have a very strong midfield, what surprises me is that we are not questioning our wingers and wing play, one of our best player last season have been struggling yet some folks don't think its a big deal instead they are busy pointing fingers at pogba and rooney, many have forgotten that in Jose's team his wingers are very important to his tactics
some even said José's tactic's is all about counter attack, but how can we counter when our wingers are playing like ghosts anyone who haven't been followings man utd and decides to watch us for the first time would think Valencia and shaw/pogba are our wingers
and those of us saying mous tactics has been found out should take a chill pill if jose don't succeed here then manutd are in a deep mess.

Nah, our no.1 problem is the midfield; Rooney, Pogba and Fellani. They can't pass, press or move and are slow. Just watch how many players mark our wingers whenever they get the ball and our CM remain stagnant. Not denying the fact that the wingers have been poor.

Elxandre:
One struck the crossbar.
Taking shots isn't a major problem.. Some of the best players are fond of such.

And that's after how many trials since he came here? Truth is that he's average on it and kills our attack when he should've given a pass to someone in better position.

I've noticed he dislikes giving a through pass whenever he's close to opponent's box but prefers to shoot or look for space to shoot.

YOU WERE SHAWFUL

Jose Mourinho blames Luke Shaw for Manchester United’s 3-1 loss at Watford and raps England left-back’s mental attitude

JOSE MOURINHO slammed his full-back Luke Shaw after Manchester United collapsed to a third straight defeat .

The Special One was fuming with England left-back Shaw when he failed to get close enough to Nordin Amrabat as Juan Zuniga went on to put the Hornets 2-1 up on 83 minutes.

Mourinho, who had words with Shaw after subbing him a minute later, said: “At 1-1 everyone thinks we are going to win the game because we were showing complete control, intensity and creativity.

" The game was there to win and never to lose.
“But their second goal is a mistake that goes against our plan and against our training, because our intention was for their wing-backs to be pressed and not let them progress.

“And what happened was the guy gets the ball 20 to 25 metres away from our box and instead of being pressed, we give him the space to progress.

“And when he was inside the box we were not confident enough to tackle.
“For the second goal, Amrabat receives the ball and our left-back is 25 metres from him instead of five.
"But even at 25 you have to jump and go and press. But no, we wait.
“This is a tactical but also a mental attitude. It’s something that doesn’t become perfect in a couple of weeks. So we have to improve, no doubt.”

The United boss now finds himself in the middle of a major crisis in his second month at Old Trafford , following losses to Manchester City, Feyenoord and now Watford, who celebrated a first win over United for 30 years .

And it was the first time since he was boss of Porto in 2002 that Mourinho had suffered a hat-trick of defeats.
He was also upset with ref Michael Oliver as he felt Anthony Martial was fouled by Miguel Britos ahead of Etienne Capoue’s opener for the home side.
Mourinho added: “Once more a crucial decision.

“It was a little bit like the game at Old Trafford against Manchester City.
“History will say the result, not the double wrong decision by the referee and linesman a few metres away.

“The game was going well, the pressure was there. One isolated counter-attack they scored.
“But on top of that we had our individual mistakes. When in the stadium everyone was thinking about Man United scoring a goal to win the game, we made a mistake.”

Mehn that 2nd goal pained me cos they made it so easy for them and in a period we just equalised and searching for a win.

sinizia:
This is just Pogba's number 1 stupidity. He needs to realize he's no Messi or C. Ronaldo and calm the fuvk down. If he stays one place, protect the defence and release passes on time, even if the team loses no-one would blame him. That's why Fellani is not being lambasted despite our losses coz he does his job.

And also stop thinking he's Scholes with those his useless shots.

Lol. Even the fans of this barren club get mouth to laugh.

Cattermole picks up his customary booking for a high tackle on Dembele.

Spy360:
Why you put 'major'. Silly boy.


Drop another lamentation abeg to spice up my evening

Why not major trophy? Thought you claim you're a top team.

Spy360:
Keep lamenting Silly Lamenter.

Come my thread
And I will spread
You to shreads

Sharaap until you win a major trophy.

Relaaax!


This is Jose's last loss.

raumdeuter:
I predict Mourinho would likely start a dressing room drama soon, announce some players are his problems and he would bench them. This move would be to take attention away from him.

Schweinsteiger would have been the obvious choice or any of the players he didnt buy. Maybe he would use Rooney as the scapegoat

Rooney he can't even sub
