AW might be better this year coz BF changed the concept entirely from 'all out warfare' to 'police and thief'. But BF4 can still stand toe to toe with AW tho.

i can't believe none of you here sampled sniper elite. the graphics are outstanding. they actually show how the bullet of the sniper rifle travel through & hit the target - including the organ of the body the bullet has damaged. there's no way you would play this game and not want to be a sniper in real life.

as soon as i gt sm1 am gonna spit with,surely u will see those bars i wanna spit.

the rules here are followed strictly.

to call anyone out, you have to go to FFR thread and spit some bars. that would determine your skill level. for instance, you already know my skill level, i dunno yours. any match-up would be very unfair.

afrodoc2:
ALL? lol
if we sell falcao and RVP and get lacazette/cavani and wilson it won't be a step back.
at this moment an inexperienced james wilson is better than falcao........sad but true.
and a cavani/lacazette/jackson martinez/dybala would be better than RVP

i mean ALL.

hehe!
battle you?

lol, boss ok na use me retire na,lemme be the last person u battle na.

are you the same as obesemf?

I have known lacazette for about 5 years since he was a teenager, i am a bit suspicious of this sudden hype. we have to remember it is the French Ligue 1. i have not really seen him this season though, has he gotten that good really? i remember djibril cisse and olivier giroud

lacazette has everything it takes to thrive in the premier league. he's built for it. i actually do think he's more suited for the game here than in france.

pace, power, acceleration, dead-eye accuracy, composure, decision making, etc. i have seen him about 12 times this season & he didn't disappoint me in any of those games. i would sell all our strikers to have him.

elampiro:
I won't argue further. Your sentiment is too much. Rooney played very well in midfield not just the goals in those three or four matches. Same as under SAF when he was not scoring

what is AGE?

Finally, we TOO played in 4-1-4-1 with Mata, Herrera, Di Maria and Fellini behind him, he never felt Rooney or Falcao could be dispensed. RVP was obviously and desperately poor.


See you tomorrow.

the same di maria cannot even start a game since LVG tweaked the formation & went back to herrera & mata. daley blind in the LB position also offers a lot by causing an overload on the full back of our opponents. this was why the highly-rated fullbacks like emre can & kyle walker were reduced to zombies.

afrodoc2:
I believe he will go with 4-3-3 too.
I say cavani won't be a step backwards because of how poor falcao and rvp have been not really because of how highly i rate cavani.
in my opinion i think we need to offload those 2 old men and get just one striker.
most of the work to be done is in midfield and defense i.e hummels, clyne, khedira, pogba, bale,reus, depay e.t.c

if we can get any of reus, lacazette or gundogan, we would win the premier league next season.

elampiro would definitely dump rooney for lacazette. lacazette = bale + lukaku + RVP rolled in one.

elampiro:
when Rooney got a red card, he was our best striker up to that point. Then we won 1 drew 2 in his absence. Coogar, you said we avoided defeat because 'bad luck' Rooney was away.

no, he wasn't.....
he was shyte up until the red card. he had cost us the loss against leicester in the previous game. RVP scored in that game if my memory serves me right.

Now we have won 5/5 EPL games in absence of 'good luck' Jona.. sorry, I meant RVP. Coogar wishes RVP should go straight to leading the line.

Coogar is nawa!
Ukwu!!!

nah!
i never said RVP should walk straight back to the team. i said we should not be too quick to discard RVP in the summer cos he has so much more to offer.

Princefame1:
according to Rio Ferdinard, man utd are playing better becus Rooney is leading attack..

ferdinand is an idïot, what does he know?

without mata, fellaini, carrick & herrera in the team, rooney leading the attack would have amounted to nothing. since the change in formation. herrera & mata has scored the same number of goals as rooney in the attack & they are actually playing very well too.

Messilistic:
Well I wouldnt generalise. There still are a few good ones out there. At least i can testify to dat from a couple of friends i have. A gurl that would be influence would alwais b. one has to pray for guidance to get d right girl.

for any young woman coming to the UK to study, accommodation is the biggest problem. they cannot work more than 20 hrs per week with jobs that won't pay more than £10/hour - that is even if the job is available.

from that £200/week, she would be taxed & given crumbs that can barely pay for a room. meanwhile, there are big boys like sirshymexx & nihilist on the sidelines whispering to the girl that they are ready to accommodate her in their luxurious smart flats if she says yes. how many girls would refuse such offer?

elampiro:
As I said, I am not here for argument. RVP was not in the games he played as a sole striker earlier in the season. Against West Brom he was more a minus 1. He missed CCC and should have passed another Mata for a tap into empty net, but RVP decided to score but shot horribly wide. These were 4-1-4-1 formations.

this has always been your mistake.
you are too hung on formation without looking at the personnel in it. football is too fluid, 4-4-2 or 8-1-1 is not really relevant - the players playing it are the most important. there's no way you would have herrera, mata & carrick in a midfield and not boss a game. if we had wilson as CF in the games we have won, the results wouldn't change one jot.

I am yet to see any post here attributing our good games to Rooney. o I don't know why you started this. However, Rooney has been providing an options upfront and helping to drag the defenders away from others. He doesn't just stay stagnant in front of the two central defenders or in front of the 6 yard box. His movements have been very key to providing opening for others in the 18 box area.

well, they are indirectly saying what we are playing now should be the default formation. if it was rooney that was injured with falcao playing as CF, the story would have been RVP & rooney should be sold ASAP. the new system has actually benefitted the midfielders more than the lone striker.

As for the midfield. Rooney was unlucky to play in midfield when we experimented with such players like McNair in the right back. Fellaini and Ashley Young were still injured at the time, and most importantly we played two strikers which meant the midfield was one man less.

unlucky? nah!
you justified his inclusion in that mid girl despite the fact that he was slowing the transition of the ball. rooney would never play a straight pass to the strikers, he would lay it diagonally & run into the box to share the glory of scoring the goals.

Under SAF Rooney played midfield in some matches across three seasons, and he was being likened to Scholes as we won over 90% of thlose matches. In 2012/13, when we beat Villa to reach unassailable lead for the title, Rooney was a class in the midfield.

in the last 3 seasons under SAF, rooney was a striker or a second striker. his skill-set can never fit into the midfield. apart from the diagonal passes that slow down the attack, he is actually mediocre there. poor positional awareness, atrocious short passing ability, etc.

Sometimes, some players are not happy being sacrificed persistently and their performance gets affected. Rooney played in the midfield against Liverpool, Villa and Hull and scored 3 good goals before his form dropped there.

and that's the point.....
scoring good goals in a midfield does not necessarily mean he had good performances there. carrick doesn't score much but i would have him in my midfield than gerrard who scores regularly from the midfield. it goes beyond scoring goals.

danbrowndmf:
Saw some of your dope lines,i respect you though.buh i had luv to still hv a rap battle with you though.


Cooger....

i am semi-retired.

Leyqute:
Rooney has scored 4 in the last 5 league games.

Coogar reeeeeallly hates Rooney. Kilode?

that's not the point......
are we playing better because rooney is leading the attack or we are playing better cos of the technicians in the midfield?

elampiro:
Some people can lie. Where did anyone mention that Rooney and Jones have to play midfield for United to make top 4? Any way I no get time for argument. Tomorrow on my mind.

you mean you have suddenly forgotten how you ridiculed the idea of herrera & mata playing in the midfield? you had a month-long argument with sailorXY......stressing how only pawa guarantees victory in the midfield.

just to buttress your point, you cited the usage of zouma in chelsea's midfield to tame spurs in the cup final. it was however a surprise when mata & herrera(players you deemed as featherweights) destroyed spurs with a bigger scoreline and without resorting to jam-body tactics of using a pawaful destroyer.

elampawa - guilty or not guilty.

afrodoc2:
The Serie A is suspect so any world class performances there have to be taken with a pinch of salt. cavani hasnt really set the French ligue alight but playing in unusual positions most of the time wouldnt have helped. having said that, if we offload RVP and Falcao and get Cavani it wont be a step backward.

i think RVP still have a lot to give.
the only problem is his pace - he still has a better technique than any of our strikers. he could still be a decent squad player.

cavani misses more than he scores - i don't see the hype at all. i wouldn't really mind lacazette or dybala - bring back hernandez and that's a core attack unit of youth & experience.

THE FIRST STEP HOWEVER IS THAT LVG HAS TO BE SURE IN HIS MIND WHAT FORMATION WILL BE OUR REGULAR FORMATION NEXT SEASON
Then he can acquire or let go players based on that formation

he would use 4-3-3.
after this season, he has no more excuse now. he would have a long transfer window and he has now had the time to assess the whole squad. woodward has promised another £150m so LVG must deliver next season.

boyfriends & fïances should be worried whenever their yet-to-be married partners are travelling to europe - especially the UK. it's so damn easy for these girls to fall into the temptation the UK has to offer.

elampiro:
Since RVP's injury, Rooney has scored 5 goals as the sole striker. When RVP played as sole striker in the absence of Rooney and Falcao, he was only about to score 1 goal against Chelsea.

Rooney's goals since RVP's injury:
vs Sunderland 2 goals.

falcao played in this game & one of the goals was an awoof penalty.

vs Arsenal 1 goal.

not a league game.

vs Tottenham 1 goal

this was when the philosophy actually clicked. he had a decent game & scored a wonderful goal.

vs Villa 1 goal.

he was the poorest player on the pitch until the goal. he was also the poorest player of the 22 players at anfield.

He forced a goal against Newcastle in what could have been a goalless draw. He was heavily involved for Herrera's 2nd against Villa. Must Rooney be brought down to make a case for RVP?

that was after missing a CCC that ashley young provided by dragging the shot wide. no one is after rooney's life - i am just reiterating the fact that rooney isn't the reason we are playing well of late. rooney has actually performed poorer in the the 4-1-4-1 formation judging by his output against villa & liverpool.

the reason we are playing well is because rooney has been taken out of the midfield for the more technically gifted players who can pass the ball super-accurately & make more forward passes quickly rather than sending it diagonally like rooney was doing when he was in the midfield.

Messilistic:
Sorry bro. I once advised someone to let you know u dont deserve that girl. The same married man has been sponsoring all her trip and taking care of her for years. How do u expect her to change. Her friend who u think is the good one is also part of the click and has always known her to b d way she was. Im glad to know ur born again. Cos d spirit will guide you to whom ever deserves u. The gurl has hurt u so bad and i could tell from ur voice d day u spoke. Let her go and dnt ever think of marrying her. Ull regret it

you know the girl & the OP?

There is no light, our generators are on, i went to vote and the INEC officials refused to bring materials to my unit, over 5 hours of my life wasted and now they are saying tomorrow knowing that people will not come so that they can sell the ballot papers.

report them to JEGA.
take a picture of the unit, the officials, etc and send to channels TV. those officials have taken money from politicians to ruin the process. that's the job of wike & his former girlfriend PEJ.

afrodoc2:
In an earlier post some months ago i stated how in the best scenario for me we would have rooney,RVP and falcao ALL gone next season.

i give it to you, you are consistent.
what about the fortune teller that told us unless we have a pawaful jones or rooney in the midfield, we would never make the top four.

however if we are to have one remain for next season, it should be rooney. he is younger, has a better fitness/injury record, more versatile and he is English plus he is captain.
What i would HATE to see next season is more than one of those 3 in the squad.

rooney is unmovable
his contract, age, image, etc guarantees that he would retire at OT. he has signed the rest of his life to man utd but i agree with the general sentiments here.

we need a boost of youthful energy in the attack. i heard cavani is LVG's favourite but i am not really sure of cavani's ability. all of a sudden, there's scarcity of top quality centre forwards in the world.

They don't want to risk anything, but desire good government. How shall that be?

I had to drive about 45 minutes down here. Still wondering why many folks are not interested in who shall govern them for the next years! Shameful!

Still waiting to vote. ..It's the little I can do!

it's pathetic, really.
today is saturday, many of them have PVCs and yet they won't go out to the polling unit on their street to cast their votes. the ones who manage to drag themselves out to the units for accreditation would not return to cast their votes.

it's the orientation of our people. if they are sharing rice & tubers of yam there, they would be there as early as 6am. watch how the northerners would come out ën masse and perform their civic duties. when the results come out, the southerners would start accusing them of rigging.

na so o.
we have to be ruthless, na oju eje boys dey......igboro is not smiling. u no see how madrid fans dey boo ronaldo whenever he scores a brace instead of a hat trick?

real madrid fans are the worst fans ever.

we don't have to go that far but if a player is over the hill then he has to go. who is RVP? The same car that drove the guvnor, sparky, keano, ruud will also drive him to the airport

but is van persie over the hill?
the new system would benefit any striker - what makes it work is the triangle on both flanks on the pitch & the ball retention of mata, herrera, carrick.

has rooney really fired since LVG found this system? apart from the goal against spurs, rooney hasn't scored as the arrow head. when he scored against villa, he was operating behind falcao......and he was the worst player at anfield.

since VP got injured, rooney has scored only 2 league goals in as many as 400 league minutes. i think we should be careful on how we handle this. VP can still be a wonderful squad player even if he cannot be a guaranteed starter anymore.

haha!
so obas actually go to polling units to vote?

That is great news.
The sooner we part ways with deadweight like Falcao et al the better.
Falcao is finished and RVP is on the way to being finished also. Clear out the attack leaving maybe Rooney and get a younger and more athletic supporting cast next season

cheiiiiiiiiii

yet, not too long ago this dude delivered the league title almost single-handedly. united fans, na so?

nigerians in the south would never come out and vote massively - yet we always blame the northerners for our own failure during presidential elections.

the authorities should be jamming all communications & take light to force people out of their homes. majority of them are on their iPads now updating their profile with the latest shoes they got from paris.

irresponsible lots!

If mata and fellaini continue like this, I don't think they would be joining the train

fellaini & mata are the engine of the philosophy.

https://i.minus.com/i4s0kzONdjte.gif

his first touch here is heavenly.

dopeJemi:
Yeah I saw that on goal, gundogan looks washed up to me, IMO, he's just going to be another falcao

I'm certain we won't sell mata nor fellaini, we still have rooney, if I were gundogan I'd go elsewhere... But if he comes, I think he'd be deployed to the midfield, can't say though

about 8 players are leaving next season according to fredthered.

is gundogan an AM?

I've always been a regular visitor of Linda Ikeji's blog. However, I recently noticed a gradual dwindling in the quality of her blog content which is now so poor, biased and filled with mediocre news mainly about who uploaded what on Instagram & news about American celebrities (e.g the Kardashians). It's clear that Linda Ikeji has suddenly decided to make Mediatakeout.com the main source for her blog content. I've also noticed that she sometimes uses material from Nairaland and posts it on her blog like its her own exclusive news.

I aware Stella Dimoko's blog has been in existence for quite some years now but I don't know why I've only discovered it now.

This is not a post to ridicule Linda in anyway. Rather, its just an expression of my disappointment in her lack of research and creativity as a blogger. I would advice anyone looking for more informative and entertaining blog to opt for Stella Dimoko-Korkus. Linda will probably read this coz I know she's always on Nairaland searching for material. Sorry girl, Im just being honest

linda ikeji is razz & trashy!
i really dunno a lot about stella dimoko but the best nigerian blog is bellanaija. she's got class and she doesn't tolerate the nonsense & büllshyte linda ikeji tends to revel in.

linda's love of money is actually the reason her blog is trash. she only goes for topics that attract the riff-raffs of this world to drive traffic.....it's not like she doesn't know about quality blogging.

dopeJemi:
Jones has done worse sef

what do you expect from a defender who has injured himself thrice as much as opponents have injured him.

gundogan wants to follow hummels to man utd. how many attacking midfielders would we have next season?

elampiro:
Hahahahahaha, it's good to find excuses for some players. Smalling also jumped too early against Burnley or a costly mistake from a young defender? Ukwu!

Phil Jones has not even hit 25 years yet. The age central defenders mature, that's even when they have been playing there for years.


Coogar, no argument. Tomorrow is our big match. A match we should win to put one hand in our top four finish.

phil jones is a mediocre defender.
age has nothing to do with it. jones has been at united now for 3 seasons & he's actually worse now than when he first came in.

there's no defender that hasn't made a mistake of conceding a goal. you mean vidic in his prime never conceded a goal via a header? rio in his prime never conceded a goal?

this is the manchester XI mash-up, i cannot find phil jones there. smalling is our best central defender by a mile. no debating.
