Congratulations to you and Mrs TV
May your princess be blessed and favored always

It will be fun to watch you gradually "demachoised"
Baby girls always do that to their dads in the end
You will soon be putty in her hands grin grin

Thats how I know that coogar "stole" a picture of a very pretty baby girl and posted it here during the NL baby competition tongue grin
madam chaircover - envying my daughter since 1992. don't worry, one of these days we would pay you a visit. we would like to see your legendary beko fridge. grin

Smalling came up SMALL in defense, Ings ran RINGS round him all day.
Watch the first goal it was a simple OUT and IN run by Ings that discombobulated Smalling and left Ings with a free header.
Not to talk of his yeye pass competition with Evans, then one if one adds his "lago epon" that gifted Ings with another simple tap in that DDG saved then it is easy to see how rubbish he was in defense.
i would be more concerned how we allowed the cross to get into the box in the first place. any of nesta, vidic, terry or kompany would have been beaten in that same scenario. 1 v 1 with a good cross coming in always favours the striker. even if smalling got there first, there's a high probability of putting the ball in his own net as he would be facing de gea.

This is not a Jones vs Smalling issue, however it is clear that Smalling is not the answer to our defensive shambles.
smalling is our best CB.
he may not be the A+ defender but who would be with the disjointed number of appearances. he needs game time to perfect his art. he's miles better than jones & he should be partnering rojo in every game.

* Messi pass accuracy dropped from Barca to Argentina. At united he would be 76%. Messi is one of the poor passers in his team. It's something I have observed.
but we aren't comparing messi to barca players. we are comparing messi to other players at the world cup. you said messi can be excused of his poor passing at the world cup cos he's always average. that assertion is not true.

* Smalling, excuse excuse excuse. Coogar go and sleep. Smalling was poor in defence.
2 goals scored!
opener & winner. you can't ask for more. if smalling played against west ham, we would have won.

Go and sleep jor, u too like trouble. U be papiwater? Just pray Smaling survives 5 matches before we hear hamstring.

Louis van Gaal Blasts Manchester United Performance Despite Win Over Burnley
he needs to get rooney out of the midfield. di maria must be tired of rooney refusing to make forward passes & preferring square & backward passing all the time.

our forwards are lacking the required service. i am tired of rooney sending the ball to the right channel - those passes are slow & shïtty. the receiver must wait 5 seconds for the ball to arrive, chest it and control the ball. by then, the opponents have regrouped.

* Forget about Messi and other forwards. If RVP played for Barca he would come out with 88% accuracy. If Messi played for Man United, he would make only 79% accuracy.
if messi comes to united, nothing would change. a good passer is a good passer. mata hasn't changed at united and messi's touch is more assured than mata.

* Smalling failed in his primary duty. His defensive performance today was the worst we have seen from a centre back since M.Dons beat us 4-0. He was the reason we lost composure at the back and we invited undue pressure.
how did he fail in his primary duty?
he wasn't even supposed to play - jones got injured. a player who wasn't expecting to play that early suddenly got thrusted next to evans the fool. of course, the performance would be shaky.

however, he got a brace in the game. when pillock jones collided with rooney on sunday, what did he do to erase his mistake? i hope he's injured for 6 months. the partnership of smalling & rojo is the future. shaw as LB, rafael/paddy as RB. jones needs to follow fletcher to west brom.

Messi and Ronaldo are always among the poorest passers in their teams. As I said, 85% pass accuracy for Barca is not something even Ayila of Falconets will be proud about.
compare messi to any other forward in the world & he towers over them include waning rooney.

you have been found out again.....

More like Rooney just got an alert of £300k in his account for the week. And some one is crying. Utor!
.....but now plays as a central midfielder like a water carrier. rooney has replaced fletcher. grin

elampawa, smalling bailed us out today with a brace. something jones has never achieved. do you still think jones is better?

Similar to Rafa's "facts interview". Dare i ask "is it possible Van Gaal has lost his magic touch?" This in no way absolves Moyes of his share of the blame for last season's debacle. However it has to be said that i am not seeing any method to this madness.
it's not similar.
LVG was in total control of himself throughout the presser. he never ranted or had his pitch dropping on & off like rafa. watch the presser again.

LVG did his rant & won afterwards. rafa did his rant & it backfired on him. you guys need to give LVG his kudos. the play isn't pretty but we had tonnes of games like this under SAF. play rubbish & steal 3 points.

the long ball/short ball ratio is also a myth! we have always played like this but trust the media to blow things out of proportion. our long pass proportion is 14% & the media are running with it cos sam allardyce used it to rib united.

it was shocking when opta came out with the facts that our long pass proportion was 13% in 07/08 season when we had tevez, rooney & ronaldo running like possessed animals. none of us here would say that side was a long ball squad.

Argentina played basically 4-3-3 in the world cup. Messi was one of the front three.
This your pass accuracy, is it Messi in Argentina or Messi in Barca. Because if you play Oshoala in Barca she will emerge with high pass accuracy as well. Ukwu!!!
there's no truth in this....
argentina played 4-2-3-1 throughout the knock out phase. messi tucked in behind higuain. lavezzi, perez/di maria provided the width.

i provided messi in barca stats....
he's as good as cesc in pass accuracy. i doubt there's a forward with a better passing accuracy as messi on the planet.....perhaps welbeck!



rooney got killed!

Messi and Ronaldo are not known for pass accuracy. They aren't midfielders either.
messi is a midfielder for argentina.....

then your claim that messi isn't known for pass accuracy is retardëd. messi passes the ball as good as any midfielder.

09/10 - 86%
10/11 - 86%
11/12 - 84%
12/13 - 85%
13/14 - 85%

messi had only 80% at the world cup - his lowest ever in his career and you are saying messi isn't known for pass accuracy. if he's not passing accurately, which forward player in the world has such a high passing stat?

well......statistics say you are wrong.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/2115692_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188

surely, united do a lot of long balls but they do an obscene number of short passes too. the 2 stats were merged together to see the ratio of the short passes to the long ones. how many short passes united make before they pass it long......the stats above put united 8th on the log. grin

i am sure if rooney gets injured, the long boring diagonal passes would reduce & we would be top on that list.

More on Sneidjer vs Argentina

Pass accuracy of 83% which was one of the worst. No tackle won even when RVP won a tackle and many other players won several tackles.
leo messi had 80% pass accuracy in this match. you have been telling us how messi was your best player in the tournament but now sneijder is poor on a day he kept more of the ball than your best player.

your half-truths is the reason you get punked here.

Coogar: pick up your toys and put them away.

how's this a task?
their toys stay in their room.

Coogar: fold your clothes and put them away.
Coogaress jr: going rate is 10p per dress dad
going rate? kids? grin cheesy
you are using adult sense to look at this lens. i don't even think any of them has ever asked for money before doing a task. they just don't want to do it until i throw in a fantastic reward at it.

Really? You'd do this day in day out?
Do you believe such kids will be able to function properly in the real world were nobody gives are damn if you get your personal tasks done or not?
they will function perfectly in the real world. they have learnt responsibility since infanthood. with time, they would grow to know that getting personal tasks done is parts & parcel of life. when they were kids, they don't understand why so so task should be done..

And what of when they are out of your reach/sight? What motivation will they have for continued good behaviour without dad there to give them some £?
in what circumstance would my kids be out of my reach/sight?

I watch all Netherland's matches. I have described what transpired on the pitch and not what they were sent out to position. The last role Robben played was a striker (which he was meant to play). He was first a winger on the right, then a killer via the middle before a striker. Sneidjer was mostly anonymous. Kyte (is that d spelling again?) Occupied the right while Robben wasn't there. The wing backs were not as attack minded as they were defence minded. Robben was three man in the attack which compensated for the whole team attacking weakness.
so tell me....
which game particularly was robben a right winger. i have all the opta charts of the world cup games sitting on my phone. start listing the games robben played as a winger.

Talsima:
Too many questions o. Didn't u watch their matches? Sneidjer was often drifting wide from his position, while Robben had the license to play anywhere. Robben used the number 7 and middle a lot pushing players away from their positions.
robben played as a striker - he partnered van persie. of course, he's a natural winger and a good dribbler. so he could collect the ball, run with it & cause damage.

sneijder played in the hole behind them. blind was the wing back. the cross that VP scored with a superman header from was from blind - he provided the width.

the tactics were very simple & after a while - holland became boring to watch. they set themselves to control games, not necessarily to win them.

For tasks like making your bed, doing your homework, etc that have a direct benefit to the child I don't think that it applies. I think teaching children to succeed at their tasks simply for their own satisfaction should be more emphasized than making them think everything they do will have a reward.
it does....
kids are ready to sleep on their beds whether made or unmade. it's not a benefit to them if it's made. what gets rewarded gets done!

anytime i visit my nephews, their parents marvel at the way their kids listen to me 100% of the time. i simply reward their good behaviour. something their parents consider spoiling

kids aren't stüpid.
they are very wise. the moment you attach a reward to their task, you suddenly see activities - who no like better thing? grin even the youngest of them is flexing his muscle he wants to participate too.


Joavid:
These are their chores. Things they do daily,weekly or on weekends.
without the reward, you find out that you have to physically drag them to do it. they might do it but it's half-hearted. most often; you have to go back and complete it yourself.

They know the chores they are suppose to do and they should do it. It's a duty, a responsibility.(That's how you teach kids to be responsible - to the society, no one gets paid for being responsible)
They would get a reward from time to time if they have been doing well at home and at school - all round.
And they'll get a punishment too if they misbehave after several warnings.
tell us why workers get bonus pay after collecting their salary. is it not to reward their good jobs? investment bankers get more bonus than their normal salaries - why is that happening?

i have weighed the 2 options. i don't even have to remind them when there's a reward. when there's no reward....they will moan & moan and offer all sorts of excuses to drag themselves to do it. who has such time to be chasing kids around?


If he keeps playing video games without doing his chores, after several warnings i'll take the video games away, now that will make him do his chores, when he's through, he gets it back.
the chores before the games.
i always tell them - business before pleasure. do house chores, school homework then you can play video games as much as you want. the more impressed i am with their work, the more reward they get.

trust me, it works like magic!
