Ibra needs to voluntarily make way in the 2nd Half for Rashford! JM won't dare to sub him, but I hope he can honorably ask to be subbed!

its performances like this from zlatan that we need mourinho to sub him after like first half or at most 60mins but he will play 90mins.

PENARITY

thank God ooo

na wa ooo we don start to dey miss chances like its getting outta fashion and e be like say this keeper won win keeper of the century with this match. rooney and zlatan the culprits.



seems martial is the key to this game. i think he needs to step it up a nudge on that left side.

GloryIsaac:
I concur bro..... Hopefully we gonn' move out of 6th tomorrow ... Loserpool can come take the key to the house, we don dey pack out ... GGMU Forever!!!!

We need to, we have to, we musto

GloryIsaac:
In as much as i dislike Barca and her fans, i cant deny the truth... Zlatan cannot lead us to Champions League glory next season... He's doing extremely well at the moment (funny that we now celebrate EFL as if its EPL) but some people have suddenly forgotten how he has negatively affected Pogbas assist count, his misses that cost the club valuable points (constantly cooking okro soup).. honestly, i dont support this over-reliance on a 35yr old guy oooo b'cos UCL teams will expose whatever leaks we have in our team and certainly a slow Zlatan is one of those leaks, when Zlatan doesn't play well, the team doesn't. Personally, i feel Zlatan should leave at the end of the season unless Mourinho is planning to bring in players who believe that matches can still be won without Zlatan, even at that, he will have to settle as a rotation player

Oga you dey make am look like say na only zlatan go be our striker next season. Let's wait and see if mourinho will not fortify the striking position with 1 or 2players then your assertions can come to play. All am saying is I hope mourinho buys well in the transfer window and zlatan should be an option.

We were in the EFL cup and won it, celebrating it is in order or are we supposed to carry long faces because we won EFL. If we had been booted out of the competition our rivals fans on this board go still yab us come throw party join.

Celebrating a minor cup like that does not mean we are not ambitious, you are a united fan na. We fight to win every competition we enter and deserve to celebrate it when we win.

GloryIsaac:
This is exactly the problem..... Over reliance on a 35yr old player.... When Zlatan went on a goal drought, we succeeded in winning only one match out of six, thats very bad... it cant continue like this .. The other top clubs have a host of players to rely on when it comes to winning matches but its not the same here and thats b'cos its a Zlatan characteristic that he always turns out to be the spear head wherever he goes (something he couldn't do at Barca b'cos of Messi, guess thats why he left ), so automatically when Zlatan doesn't play well, same goes with the team..... What if he gets injured , i bet we'll go on a drawing and losing streak till he comes back and thats not right... The only way Manutd is ever gonn' get back to her glory days is if the team realises that we dont need a sole star player to win matches... Look at a scenario where we qualify for Champs league, get merged with Madrid, then Ronaldo gets injured, do you think Madrid fans will be scared about losing to us , No way!, they still have Bale, Benzema, James and Co to rely on.. But turn the situation around, if Ibra gets injured, i bet you know how its gonna go down .. i still believe PSG wont have beaten Barca if Ibra was in that squad ( No hating on him though)

Guy, we don't have to sell zlatan to get another striker na.

Just like you said if Ronaldo gets injured they have benzema, bale, James, and co. We can also have grizeman, rashford and any other striker, if zlatan is injured. My concern is that zlatans games MUST be limited, he should be an option for us.

SIRcumalot:
He'll never not be first choice.
That is why it has to be a clean break whoever we go clinch to,be it a new star or rashidi has to no his the main guy,(not a perfect analogy but soldado and Kane) and am not blind to the risk.make our front office don dey think down.
When lukaku start to dey average 30 goals in a Utd shirt every season all of you,go apologise to me.

I agree him not being first choice is the issue, but this is man u and he will learn to not be first choice. Na mourinho suppose reduce his playing time.

If mourinho get sense we will avoid the Rooney conundrum where Moyes and lvg felt he must play. We all saw where it got them.

Zlatan wan be first choice even when he is older than buhari?

SIRcumalot:
What about this lacazette or belotti or icardi from Italy or some other guy.
have never seen them play but I hear good things.
you should know me well enough to sabi say this isn't an attack on ibra.
we've to do this sometime why not next season.
another radical option na to just fire on with rashidi next season but ibra can't be around.

edit: I don forget lukaku put am for this list too.

I didn't see your view as an attack on zlatan. Truth be told I still want zlatan here next season especially if he leads us yo winning another 2trophies this season. But his playing time must be reduced for the other new striker that would be bought.

Another truth is that if zlatan indicates that he wants to stay for the next 2seasons, I believe he would be allowed to.

The players you listed are fair, apart from lukaku, I also don't really know much about the others only seen highlights.

A new striker with zlatan and rashford should be our 3strikers atleast.

We must remember that our wingers and midfielders, especially, need to contribute their goal quotas. It only helps the team when everyone s contributing.

SIRcumalot:
I stand with the Gossip Girl on this one.
instead of all this talk of greizman make we go market,scout well-well and find me a 20 goal guaranteed striker.

Luke who naa!

A 20goal guaranteed striker should be known to all by now.

When you give a list we can now start looking at the possibility of the striker coming to united.

dubylhover:
yea exactly,thats y i feel zlatan should leave at d end of d season.mou has drained the last juice in him ,it wud b good to bow out when the ovation is high

Zlatan will be here next season. Its a fresh challenge at winning the league which I feel he would wnt to be a part of.

How he would be played will also depend on which striker is bought and his form.

If a new striker comes, like griezman, he would battle for the position with zlatan. Although zlatans ego is a personality on its own its now up to mourinho to manage the situation well.

We need to be seen to want to win the league next season, and it must show in our signings and actual effort on the field, nothing like top 4 being our target or cooking draw soup CONSIXTENTLY on the table.

Herrera has been impressive for us but I would choose kante over him everyday of the week. Forget stats.

Kante is the truth.

SIRcumalot:
Leicester is up by two.
pool never see anything play.

Cool.

vladimiros:
logic?

which logic?

they could not see shiit abeg...


free efe

No problem I go free am.

Logic I referred to was because after the task he said he watched the ninja write and then tried to apply what he thought he saw. But he missed.

vladimiros:
But Bassey wrote 73 and nobody is on his diick

free efe abeg

Basset can be forgiven because its obvious he used logic to arrive at his number but he failed.

Where did efe get his 16 from, it also shows that ttt, tboss and even basset watched the ninja but both ttt and tboss got it.

If efe had written 116 we won't be on his case because peeps where told to guess and that would mean he heard and understood the instruction.

Efe is dumb abeg. The way his fans make noise is another reason why inquiries/surveys should be carried out to find out why people still insist on supporting dumb people that consistent exhibit their dumbness on national TV like efe does.

wapadunk:
Nobody is holding you back.
.
.
Am disappointed
The way you sound portrays you as a blind follower


You can imagine someone writing 16 when they said guess between 100-200. And you said he made first class.

Efe is a disappointment, how he managed to get a first class, if he did d is beyond me.

Simple instruction, he can't understand.

Are ESE and Jon still aware that they are fake housemates and are supposed to cause sine commotion in that house.

Them don forget their mission, as for ese she don blend to enjoy herself.

By the time biggie remove them this week dem go cry pass the real housemates.

Its February and winter has come to assanal with strong harmattan winds blowing from north Africa's sahara desert.

Everywhere on this thread is now dry and frozen.

Na wa ooo

Elamps has gone rogue on this di maria matter!

OK na.


A major problem in naija is that thieves try to catch thieves.

But again, there is a saying "na who dem catch be thief"

I could be wrong but I don't know how Dino himself came about his wealth, i font know of any major company he has tgat may have given him tge wealth he fkaunts in our faces everyday apart frim him being ib govt. now he is querying another thief who is being protected by the president/presidency.

Dino is right anyways, we will never make head way if thieves are expected to catch and prosecute thieves in Nigeria.

capricornian:
We are defending too too deep

Too many unnecessary passes in our defense. Then pogba does the ong ball.

No pressure on st Etienne at all, if not for that deflection this first half na draw.

That pogba brother be like African terminator.

SIRcumalot:
Am all for rasihidi starting a useless cup game (he already started some).
If Zlatan hasn't scored in the 3-0 lead you keep him,if his stinking up the whole place you still keep him.You rejig your formation to accomodate for both of them.he still more likely to get you a goal than rashford.
Batshuayi who cost up to 30million is wasting away on that CFC bench for a reason.

I can't stop because it is the truth.Jose last season with Chelsea doesn't allow for him to fork around anymore.

Zlatan needs to rest more. It will do him and us a lot of good.

He has missed enough chances to at least make man u to be 2nd now. He is getting old and in all honesty he is doing great but we need to Atleast let rashford develop as a cf, it will help his confidence.

If we were at the top of the league then you might have a point, but were not.

sinizia:
Exactly. Now when you factor in the underlying pain of Rashford which is that ZLATAN IS STAYING NEXT SEASON AND WON'T STILL BE BENCHED, and the fact that Mourinho is known for neglecting youths, you'd see that Rashford is scared of his future. I don't blame the guy at all.

Exactly. Mourinho will play zlatan in every game for 90mins when we can ask zlatan to give his all for 60-70mins and then play rashford in the cf role.

This same zlatan is going to be here for next season again. Rashford should be playing regularly from the bench.

Although I think the report is a little sensational. He at nt going anywhere.

Leyqute:


When we score 2 goals in the first half and still boss the game, creating chances and looking solid defensively, Zlatan can be subbed.

Even if all these happen I don't think Jose will sub zlatan.

Even when he is having a stinker Jose will leave him, is it when he is actually contributing optimally in a game like you have described that you think he would/should be subbed.

At the beginning of the season there was a story about Jose telling zlatans wife to just keep him fresh for games, na Jose wey come no wan even try allow zlatan rest at all. Must he play 90mins?

The tin just tire me.

Leyqute:
Alright. He loses chances and should be benched.

Who would you put in attack to replace him who will offer more than he's offering in this squad.

Answers on a postcard please

What we are saying or at least what am saying is that in games like the Watford zlatan should have been subbed at 75mins with rashford and then we see what martial mata and mhiki can do with rashford upfront.

Its not than zlatan should be completely benched but he should be subbed sometimes. Him playing 90mind all the time is just annoying especially when he seems to be tired or having an off spell in the latter part of a game.

Liverpool dey vex gan!

Kagawa10:
Will you shut it, inconsequential eediota!

Is that how to ask a question? Stupid oaf.

Miserable plonker.

I am supporting a draw in this Liverpool and Tottenham game.

Make them sef try chop small draw soup today.

Then the positives for today would have been completed

Kagawa10:
You know this is how brawl often start? Keep your stupidity to yourself cos I didn't mention you.

I asked a simple question because I did not understand the point you were trying to make and you come back with this bitter reply.

You are a cross between a rettarded dingbat and mongoose.

I wanted you to explain where pogba would have played with mhiki, mata and Herrera on the pitch.

For me he had only 2positions to play, either cm or DM and that's where he and Herrera kinda where playing.

But because stvpidity and hunger for fight you came back with that tripe.

You are a bloody sod!

Kagawa10:
Pogba playing the Carrick role today. Lol, he's never seen anything. I remembered when he kept complaining that he's a no 10 after being severally deployed as a no 8 in a 2-man midfield. I wonder what he would say now that he's playing as a no 6.

What is your point?

chrisley024:
That Bailly still got some brainfart in him

I am more surprised that Jones and roho held theirvown when they were called upon.

Bailly, Jones and rojo who do you think has more brainfart?

For me rojo and Jones have more brainfart moments in them than Bailly.

I would still prefer Bailly and smalling as our first choice.

Oasis007:


Moyes Fans...... your Boss has been brutally murdered at Home!

Moyes

Score 4 away to win only to come home to lose 4nil.

What a genius

Ibro don take karate kick miss goal again.


Whyvremove martial for rashford when he could have helped IBRA to rest well knowing he will start the next game.

On a positive note the fight for CD pairing is awesome.


Bailly and smallibg vs rojo and Jones.

Which combo is better or should be first team?
