The problem has to do with our lack of ball playing worldclass CB, a playmaker in midfield and at least one attacking full back. A RW as well 'cos Mata is terrible. I really blame the board for not backing Van gaal in his quest for Sadio Mane.

Fact is the board are also part of the problem. They were the ones who brought in the likes of Herrera and Shaw. Yeye.

Na the whole team be that na.

Include the coach and his tactics/mentality

elampiro:
Here you lie.

If it was so easy, why is there the rigorous preseason? I played football and I know what it means to be out of football for one or two months.

But even the ones that played preseason were also useless.

The ones that went to woldcup played nonsense and the ones that did not go anywhere were tired.

Adisaowalla:
After saying this not too long ago....



It's pretty evident that you are drunk.

Better sober up - tomorow na Monday oh

Elampiro wants united to be ready, prepared and perfect while other teams can have injuries and tired players so that we can win.

eph12:
Well you have a point though. I can imagine Alderweild and Maguire dominating the center of the pitch and creating quality chances over and over in a match

Backed by young and Valencia or Damian.

eph12:
Does he have the attackers he can trust?

He needs defenders he can trust to attack.

elampiro:
If you have almost all your senior players in the world cup quarter final and semi final, the other ones should resume quickly because those who went to world world need rest and slow start to the season.

So Valencia Sanchez and rojo would have helped us today abi.

If we had 13players on the pitch today with the ref looking for way to do magomago for us to win we would have still lost because the players gave nothing and the coach is a goat.

elampiro:
That was due to lack of fitness of the senior players.

Na only our players go worldcup and Wifey born pikin?

slimghost:
Wow, so City and Spurs players didn't get the break?.
I think you are missing the point. The fact is that your scam has no pattern of play and is super clueless which rubs off on players. That's why most of the players are looking overrated to you.

Elamps is trolling!!

elampiro:
Smalling and Jones never gave us this horrible defending we got from Bailly and Lindelof in the last two games.

Again, Jones and Smalling don't do more 'stupid' thing than Bailly. They own always get more exaggerated here because they are Brits.

I already acknowledged todays pairing was appalling, all the players played rubbish.

Who bought the CBs? And your excuse of some players who are injured would have helped no hold water.

Who are those players sef?

Mourinho tactics has affected the psychy of the players. Even when boys dey play set sef we no dey display this level of laziness because if you lose, the other street go get bragging rights for the next week and nobody want am. Na to fight like wounded lion just to win even by hook or crook, talkless of this bunch of idiots, both coach and players wey them dey pay armed robber wages. Everyday people must fight to end game

Twe!!!

elampiro:
I am mostly talking about the central defenders. If they cause a penalty or an own goal, it has to be because they are British. Yet these guys put in a good shift when fit.

They are still more, among 4 we have 2british CBs.

Smalling and Jones have not exactly covered themselves in glory with their playing style not to talk about their fitness.

They would be talked about more because in most of our pairing one of them would be there and most often do something stupid.

We rarely see a Bailly lindeloff cb pairing like we did today.

So please, abeg leave this British thing wey you dey talk.

We can also argue that whenever a British player does anything of note or just shows a glimpse of brilliance the media go over hype the player.

It goes both ways.

elampiro:
Yes, the British players are unduly more criticized, particularly the defenders. When they make one mistake out of 10 games, it has to be because they are British.

Jones and Smalling would give us more stability. They have always done well together when fit. At worst, one should start. And Lindelof should be sold.

The press generally or we here on nairaland.

Because I know that no defender is spared here British or not. From Valencia to lindeloff to Damian and come to think of it why would the criticism s of the British defenders not be loud at united when we have young, shaw, Jones and smalling no be them plenty pass.

elampiro:
The guy has always not shown sign of NOT knowing some basic rules of depending other than offering much power, speed and ball control in his play.

Jones and Smalling had covered many of his poor reading of the game in the past. Both Bailly and Jones started last season as pair, and we were blasting away with good defending and results in the early part of the season before they injured. But Jones actually offered more game reading than Bailly.

I agree his partnership with Jones was our best period at that time but again we are supposed to play defenders that compliment each other.

Are there stats to show Jones read the game better.

They both got injured or Jones got injured in his dream?

Nihilstjnr:
only because he's very fast - he has always been a low composure having, rash footballer prone to brainfarts.

infact, I did a full presentation about him to ChristineC before he signed

He has been fairly OK for us especially with interceptions and critical blocks during the course of last season and I believe he can do better. Players can be have their fair share of off days.

But Today's own was appalling to say the least.

elampiro:
He was dropped to the bench some time last season after he caused us the UCL knockout game. Nobody remembered or talked about it for long because he is not British. If it were one of the British defenders, pages would have ran here on how they are useless British with brain fart.

Again he has started two matches very poorly.

I Dont know how to respond to this British thing you are talking about.

Are you saying we only criticise the British players in united or what?

Nihilstjnr:
Bailey's rashness and stupidity was out of character?

You dey watch the guy at all?

Compared to our defenders he most likely would be chosen before the others. This game really did him in.

elampiro:
Last game was same.

You guys cut him slack because he is not British. The guy started this season the way he ended the last one. I am beginning to think he is average.

Mourinho knows his weakness that is why he never played him on the left side of the central defence. Instead, Jones or Smalling play there which is less comfortable for right legged players. At the end, people would think those who played on the left were poorer.

What is this nonsense about him not being British. Oga leave that thing. I think he was injured towards the end of last season. Before you say a player is not good we ought to assess that player over number of games or a season.

So which of our defenders are not average, even in the midst of average players there some deemed better than the rest.

He was out of character today and had a very appaling game no doubt even his attitude was off.

Roland17:
Which United player had a good game? Pogba? Afterall he scored a goal and is 2 in 2 games.

No united player had a good game, but Bailly own was a lot out of character. He made a lot of school boy errors and they were clumsy.

I will cut Bailly some slack, he had a terrible game today no doubt, made a lot of silly mistakes and was not composed, but I still think he is a good defender.

kokaneprodigy:
Did anyone see Ed Woodward’s face? That look though

Like thunda!

dopeJemi:
What is rashford's use exactly

This question can be asked of all our players especially in this game.

Scoring penarity at the deing minute.

Oasis007:



Mou may finally do his final Post-Match Conference for United this Evening. Cos I expect him to bash Ed Woodward, damage his Image, crush his Integrity beyond possible Redemption!

I hope so.

The supposed pressure we dey exert no even resemble pressure.

Its like keep ball and hope that Brighton makes a mistake that we will exploit, if we can.


Abeg efo riro and amala will make sense for this party

Our forward play/transition is appalling to say the least.

The best thing that can happen after this game is if thryvsack that special fraud.

Then the players themselves need to be flogged with a rattan cane just for the fun of it.

weedtaker:
don't fvckin mention city, or else you seff go receive that slap wey lord cat de yarn about.

Lordcat hand go bend and twist as him dey think am.

eph12:
Just look at the poor intensity. Is this how a team losing by two goals should be playing?

If we mention city now people go say we are not true fans.

Martial was invisible man in this game. Frllaini might offer something better.

Chai.

Fellainiiiiiiiii

We don win

eph12:
When you imagine the kind of things we have to read in support of the fraud one

I just tire. Imagine what we are playing

World cup semi finalist on.

We die here

eph12:
Larride who are the world class defenders in this Brighton team?

This is a very wicked question.

Abeg who dey bench sef, who are the world class defenders that can come in to save us by attacking from the back.

They said this same Brighton found it hard to shoot against Watford last week naim dem wan kill a whole mighty Manchester united with the special one at the helm with supposed expensive world class players.

We are winning the league
