AdisaOwala:


It's was not about moving on from De gea - the Spaniard's main problem was not his inability to "play out from the back"...was it?

You are clearly one of the "onana to mount" protagonists because you championed his purchase to mainly to suit the supposed "improved passing style" i.e from Onana to mount

As expected, you'll keep hammering on this as you're lost trying to make a point.

His main problem wasn't just about playing out from the back. It was also about the silly mistakes at big moments. We needed to move on from that. Just like we'll need to move on from Onana if he doesn't make things right anytime soon.

It's not even difficult. It's fanboyism that makes all these things difficult.

Man went digging into my old posts for where I said something but couldn't find it but decided to bring back anything he could find😂.

Do you know how silly everyone would look like if we went to dig your old posts? Even posts about Ten Hag from last year will have anyone rolling on the floor. Let's not be silly abeg.

That Onana's struggling doesn't mean a Goalkeeper isn't integral in a way a team wants to play. Difference is we've not even been really trying to play that way so far this season.

AdisaOwala:


Alaye, you were one of those that championed the purchase of Onana apparently due to his ball-playing abilities alone!

Smh

We for even carry money buy Uzoho instead of this French speaking Abiodun Baruwa!

Integral ko, differential calculus ni!

Lmao who said I wasn't?

So you went digging for the part I said 'Onana to Mount' but couldn't find anything like that😂😂😂

I never said I didn't love the signing. Argued here for weeks. But anyone can tell it was mostly about moving on from Degea. If we had gone for anyone else, I'd have had the same reaction.

So go find the real one you're trying to troll. You can't troll me cuz the DDG's been jobless at home with his wife and kids.

All these Degea stans Sha.
If you've got where I said 'Onana to Mount', dig it out asap.
You know who said that.
So why lazily attribute that statement to everyone that wanted Degea out.
That's actually stupid. Cuz the Degea right now is without a club cuz he had zero offers from any top club.

Only at United will you have fans crying cuz we didn't keep a fan favorite till he's old and wrinkled.

If Onana isn't the one, we'll make other, probably cheaper signings till we get the one. If now's not the time to transition from your fave that's totally past it, is it in two years, when we're hoping to have finally built a real team?

AdisaOwala:


So what happens to the "Onana to mount" dream?

Are we just going to discard a ball-playing Goalkeeper just like that?

Is Ball-playing no longer more important than the basic/primary job of a Goalkeeper?

If we discard Onana now, wouldn't it affect ETH's playing style abi is the game no longer evolving again?

You're quoting the wrong person.

Na you and who follow talk 'Onana to Mount'?

All I've said is we rightfully let go of Degea. Degea also single handedly knock us out of the Europa league last season. But that's not even the main reason. He's a goalkeeper well past his prime on massive wages. His contract expired and we rightfully didn't renew. Guy's still clubless.

And Onana looked like a good replacement but not everyone can play for United. Some of the other popular options can also come here to struggle. It's not the first time.


As I've also always said, if we we're going to transition into a new Goalkeeper, this is the best time to.

patrickmuf:
Baba it's only you that didn't see how porous we were through the middle. A good tactician would have addressed that before it cost the team. With McTom and Amrabat/Mainoo, one wonder why Bruno had to be the one tracking back for the most past and committing silly fouls in the process. We contained their wingers quite well before the stupid subs but it was through the centre we struggled.

At 1 vs 3, he should have brought in more bodies in midfield. Watching the match felt like watching Man Utd vs Wolves with the only difference being Gala's ability to score.

At 1-3, we lost the game because of a blunder from Onana. Commentator can say whatever he likes but whatever gameplan we had that made everything look chaotic was working good for us before the useless blunder.

If the score was 2-2 after they scored that first goal, y'all would have said he should have made substitutions immediately. That's the beauty of looking at things retrospectively. Away at Galatasaray, with that gameplan, we scored the 3rd and that should have killled the game.

Almost ready to give up on Onana. Not because I think he's not good enough. I just know how mentally tough you need to be to play for United. Not to talk of being a United goalkeeper.

The wall was terribly constructed and Onana didn't catch the movement of the ball early enough. But he let it get into his head as usual and went on to commit even a bigger blunder. Don't think he's mentally tough enough to play for United. Playing for United isn't for everyone unfortunately.

Are we going to to go through that phase of trying out different Goalkeepers before we find a perfect one for us? I hope not.

Even without Onana's blunder, this was always the period we'd get to see Bayindr with all the fixtures. So let's see what he's got also.

Which one be tactical sub. Look at the way the game went. Each time we had a comfortable lead, Onana spilled at the back. Even at the end we should still have won the game. Everything was good on that part of the game.

Onana killed us today. Simple! No need to start drawing comparisons to a game ETH managed in 1958.

patrickmuf:
I have never seen Eh make a tactical sub when we are winning to ensure we don't capitulate...

I always make reference to how his Ajax team collapsed against Spurs and it is obvious he didn't learn anything from that game.

The number of times we have ended dropping points from a comfortable position points to the fact that the man is tactically inept...

How are you even talking about tactical substitutions in this game?

Onana cost us the game. Simple!

You don't need to find a way to blame the manager for wrong tactics/subs after every wrong result.

Leyqute:
Rashford didn't even make the matchday squad.

How did you quickly forget his red card?

Some already knocked us out from the UCL 2 weeks ago😂.

Always ready to jump into negative conclusions.

YourBestWriter:
Oh! so, you mean the almighty sofyan is now slow and lazy?

I remember when y'all crying that manutd should sign Amrabat. Someone even threatened to stop watching manutd if Amrabat wasn't signed.

Do you now see the level of hypocrisy?

Trust me, if you take what these ronaldo, Bruno, sancho fanboys, or ten hag haters are saying seriously, bro it is at your own peril. Their genes were heavily mutated to be brainless and without sense or reason.

Tbh they were crying all over Twitter for Amrabat's signing. Come dey be like threat at a point.

I know certain monikers here that'd have said "Amrabat was available for cheap but the foolish manager splashed 60m on Mount instead". Every fan on the internet is an experienced scout and tactician.

How the hell did Galatasaray manage to recruit all these players? Never really paid any attention to their lineup in our first game against them.

MRTA7:
ETH needs to be taken out back if the Timo Werner rumours are true.

What we need is a Paul Mitchell asap.

timay1:


The bolded reminded me if Greenwood, whose debut usually gets postponed because anytime an opportunity presented itself for such, he was always unavailable with injury. The academy followers were usually anxious to see him play because they know how good he is. 😁

Wanted to drag Afrodoc's trousers then when he called him the best finisher at the club😂. Person wey never play one game.

BlaqFaze:
"20m would be a great offer for Maino"
"How is this crap(Maino) a Man utd player?"
"The worst player to ever wear a red shirt"

Coming up in the next few years...stay tuned

😂

eph12:
I don't like the kind of load Maino will have to carry in this team. Reminds me of Januzaj. We need the senior players to stand up in that midfield.

Ten Hag's definitely not going to allow a Januzaj situation. He'll get good gametime though if he maintains the performance.

But watch some of these fans foam their mouths when Maino is benched the next game.

TrebleChamp:
Christobam are impressed with Mainoo so far?

Absolutely loved his performance.

odizeey:
I wonder what some people are seeing when they say Mainoo is pogba regen.

Maybe because they are both black.

The way he pushes the ball so far away while still being in total control of it totally reminds me of Pogba. Was going to say this.

Leyqute:


Okay. Arsenal struggled vs Fulham. Did they also struggle versus the other relegation teams they faced?

Liverpool struggled vs Luton. Did they also struggle versus the other teams they were supposed to beat easily?

United is the only one struggling against all of them. Fulham. Luton. Wolves. Sheffield. Burnley.

Every one of the league wins we've had this season was shaky.

One red card against Copen foking Hagen was enough to lose a 2 goal lead in 15 freaking minutes! Didn't Liverpool beat Newcastle, a stronger team, in their own backyard with 9 freaking men?!

I understand that you want to be positive and optimistic, but try to be realistic at the same time. We're piss poor and that needs to be fixed.

You're missing the point! I'm not trying to knock on Liverpool and Arsenal. And I'm not saying we've not struggled so far this season. All I'm saying is, those fixtures are not the way you're making it out to seem. They're also really tough fixtures. And for a team struggling with injuries and other things, you can't knock them for getting the 3 points in whichever way.


As for the UCL games against Copenhagen and Galatasaray, we were heading towards a comfortable win before the red card. Facts! Everything changed after those red cards. Facts!

A team struggling with injuries and other issues bottled a lead after a red card in a UCL away game. Huge deal😏.

Btw, I didn't see Liverpool doing any fighting with red cards when they were riddled with injuries last season.

Leyqute:


That's because we should be doing more e than "win" against those teams-teams that our mates will roll over easily.

We never looked as if we could beat those teams. We only managed to hold on until full time. The only win we had in the UCL didn't turn into a draw because Onana saved a 90 min penalty.

It's as if you don't realize how bad things have deteriorated. The last performance wasn't as bad as the others tho. That's what we're hoping to build on. But this team has fvcked up many improvements they've had in the past.

You say our mates but Liverpool had to score a late goal to snatch a draw against Luton. We got dragged to hell and back for not trashing them.
Fulham had a man set off and they still ended up getting a draw against Arsenal.
These are our mates. Like I said, this is not bundesliga. We're struggling no doubt, but don't downplay results against these teams.



It's funny you mentioned the context behind our only UCL win but then ignored the fact that red cards ruined 2 of the 3 games we lost. And the 3rd was away at Bayern.

TrebleChamp:
Did Ten Hag really say that quote? Ronaldo should prove to him he can score? As in CR7? Same player that was United top scorer the previous season with 24goals?
I think Ronaldo became mentally/emotionally/psychologically uninterested in playing for United under Ten Hag, maybe it was due how the Club handled him missing pre-season because of the death of his Daughter.
Him and United have moved on, just glad he is still playing well and scoring crazy goals at 39years....

You're taking fanboys serious? Ronaldo at that point had a below-par performance in the season.

What Ten Hag basically said was people will always want to judge him based on how he was playing at that very point. He's a fantastic player and has proved that so many times. He was saying Ronaldo has to prove it again.

But Fanboys don't tolerate any form of criticism towards their lord and savior. Don't even know why these discussions always come up whenever the guy scores in Saudi.

Leyqute:


The improvement is almost non existent. We struggled to defeat relegation teams during that period. We also lost woefully to City, Newcastle, and embarrassingly to Copenhagen.

The last game was promising but there's still a lot of work to be done. I get that he's trying to drum up some positivity but implying that things are now fine because our competitors dropped points is just lame.

He never implied things were now fine. He literally said things were improving. You seem to have forgotten the stage we were after that Newcastle loss. Most even believed the players were already starting to throw the manager under the bus. Luckhurst started with his exclusives. It looks like we were going to lose every single game after till he gets the sack. But we've visibly improved ever since.

I also hate when people try to play down wins cuz they're against 'relegation sides'. This is the EPL not bundesliga. Given the situation we're in, every win is well deserved.

Also, when you say 'there's still a lot of work to be done', do you really think he doesn't know this? This man had Ajax playing the best football in Europe for years. He knows we've been absolutely terrible.

afrodoc2:
Man Utd fans no know football for wanting Amrabat but ETH wey chase am for several months before finally getting him na sabinus for football.

I don't know the rumors surrounding Amrabat but I'm pretty sure they're all false. Man's not even been here for that long. He probably needs a little more time to settle in.

Also, Amrabat was just an opportune signing. We got him on loan when we needed more bodies in the midfield. Anyone in our situation would have gotten him. Quality player available for a crazy cheap price while we've got little funds available.

So if it doesn't work, it's not really on anyone.

Leyqute:


He’s saying that things are changing because of 4 narrow unconvincing oriyomi wins against relegation teams in the last 5 league games. What about the pitiful losses in the league cup and in Europe?

Dude even added that other teams around the top are dropping points, so it’s all fine.

He’s lost the mentality.

Like Wyclef Jean, he’ll probably be gone by November.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI6MWZrl8v8

What's wrong in what he said? People were pasting 5 losses out of 10 early this season when we were struggling terribly. We now have 4 out of 5 but he shouldn't count it as an improvement?

AntiIncognito:
Hello guys..

So I looked at threads from Tier 1 countries like UK, Canada, US etc and it's buzzing with feeds and very active.

But I ant even find an active thread for Russian aspirants, what's going on.
Is Russia not giving visas just like Poland?. Abi na the language barrier

Abeg make una gimme update tuition is affordable in Russia, as Poland don dey fall our hand make we try Russia.

Abeg make una gimme update

Generally because the process is straightforward. Nothing complicated.

TrebleChamp:
We can now play possession based lovely football....

Lmao chill before you start cooking agenda. We're not suddenly going to start playing beautiful attacking football cuz we're getting some players back. But at least we can now embark on whatever the plan was, entering into the season.

But one thing's certain, results will improve tremendously.

Leyqute:
Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez back to training. Shaw has joined up with the first team. Martinez is on solo training.

☺️

obonujoker:
How come F.Pellistri can play all matches for Uruguay, but cant start in this team?

Have you seen anything special so far from him at United?
If Antony was brought in for 20m, we wouldn't care less who starts between the two. And that's an Antony that's actually been terrible.

akwesenana:
Comparing midfield position where it can be argued that there are enough legs at our disposal to a delicate position like GK.

Although a minute or two here and there no go too bad for Atynir.

Like I don't even know where to start. Some just keep arguing on and on and throw in silly analogies.

TrebleChamp:
Does it make sense to sign a second keeper and not play him for a whole season? Even if na for Carabao Cup or some small EPL teams, abi he was signed to come and collect free salary for 4 years ni? Mourinho used Romero for Cup games like Carabao and Europa League, while De Gea was in goal for League and CL matches. Tell him to start trust Kobbie Mainoo too, boys looks like the real deal....

Seriously the main reason some of you are screaming for Kobbie is to see if he's actually really good for this level. Some of you are ready to give a verdict after one or two games. No be today.

For the long term development of a player, there's a lot that needs to be considered. This guy's only 18 and might not even be as mentally tough as some that'll come in, drop a bad performance and still keep their heads high.

Kobbie will get gametime when the timing is right. This United team will have a player that has won it all look absolutely clueless on the pitch.

Englishisamust:


Which agenda.... Onana that have cause us more harm than good!!!.. if no be ten hag with is stupid coconut head!!! I trust coach like Pep or klopp, he go don dey chop bench by now... My own be say make he use that keeper for once... Make we know wetin he fit do too. Dem use onana swear for ten hag!!!!

Like I said it's all about agenda with you.

So bring in a keeper for 50m and bench him after a couple of games, yeah? I wonder how some of you even think.

Onana had a terrible start, and he's been getting every game time available till he gets his confidence back.

And if you try to separate yourself from the continuous wave of agenda that goes through your head, you'll see Onana has actually improved tremendously in recent games.

Does Bayindir deserve some game time? Absolutely! But don't come here trying to shit on Onana because of an unproven GK like Bayindir. Y'all do this stupid sh*t every single time. From Chong to Van De beek to Malacia.

One game for Turkey on international break and suddenly Bayindir is a better GK than Onana, yeah? Don't forget that's what you said.
