I didnt see the 1st goal but most analysts blamed Jones.

2nd goal was mainly due to Jones. He was near Zlatan but instead of staying with him he just ran back into the box marking nobody.....that was a stupid mistake.

I expect to see Smalling and Blind start against Spurs, Jones has demoted himself in my opinion.

My fear is that the partnership could actually be LVG's preferred option for the season (considering his "refusal" to sign a CB).

Darmian....Smalling...Blind...Shaw (Rojo)

Lawd - this is the kinda setup synonymous with clubs like Everton, West Ham & the likes!

I hope this man knows what he's doing.

The present NDA commandant is a VERY strict disciplinarian FYI. But importantly, none of those cadets has a name tag. NDA authorities know these things happen. Unofficially, it is called plum 101 in academy circles. It is when first year cadets go for their first break after starting NDA. It is a sort of ritual to eradicate the 'civillianess' in you. You can't see a 2nd or & 3rd termer doing this. What am telling you is the Academy wont dismiss one of theirs for this offence

You don't seem to get the point...

It's not about the ish being a norm - it's about those pictures going viral & the unfortunate cadet who decided to post them on a social network.

I reiterate - if the commandant is a very strict person, those dudes are gonna be writing JAMB again next year!!

Miserabble bastard!

If only your ashawo mother had swallowed 2 tablets of postinor with a chilled glass of beer that night, the world wouldn't have to cope with a hopelessly pathetic tramp like yourself!!

It shall not be well with you for the rest of your miserable life!!

cupidhero:
This your lie eh, i bet you one of them. I will personally send that pix to a few marines i know so they can see how fooolish and uncivilised you guys are. TBT...I have never come across anyone saying anything good about NDA or NA. Bushmen.

Another Mòronic dunderhead on the prowl...

I was stressing the seriousness of the offence those cadets commited, you are here dragging your father's name in the mud.

Jeeez - how does my earlier post correlate with the balderdash you posted up there??

Where were you when logic was being taught in school?? You were probably in the wilderness hunting grasscutters and squirrels!!

God punish the village witch that irinated on your head when you were a baby!!!

MilitaryMinded:
It will be treated as an internal issue.... Meanwhile, none of those cadets will be dismissed, none will even be relegated in advance.... Highest is too serve one small ofe job, that's if they even recognise them

Guy..no think am oo!!

If the present NDA commandant is a strict disciplinarian, those cadets are gone!!

The fact that they are in uniform makes it more serious than you think.

I believe in performance in big games. Not Players who bully Hull Reading and wolves and are sodomized everytime they play a decent team.
Yaya is an absolute fraud when it comes to the big games.

And what has Vidal achieved against the big boys??

raumdeuter:
How many CL games has Yaya been disgraced in the past 4 seasons

And what has Vidal achieved in Europe in that time frame?? Last time I checked, he was hell bent on getting a redcard in the last UCL final, and was also piss poor against Madrid in the semis so what exactly is your point??

UniqueGem:
I think you guys have been watching the wrong Rojo or probably have mistaken him for another player. The Rojo i know is a majestic defender and a tough tackler. Pacey, energetic, and strong. The arsenal game for example, He single handedly held the whole Arsenal attack to ransom, evidence to the Goal we conceded after he was substituted.

You are absolutely right...

The only snag is that this "majestic-ness" you are talking about would only be applicable to clubs like sporting Lisbon, spartak Moscow, Fulham etc and definitely not a big club with huge expectations like ours.

From what I have seen so far, Marcos falls into the category of "Agidi" players who have very little to offer tactically.

Yeah, you may say it's too early to draw any inferences but TBH, the player I saw at the last world cup was an average joe who rode on the success of his team, gaining some unnecessary recognition in the process.

He has to improve!!!

raumdeuter:
And who used trophies ALONE?

Howedes won a world cup but what was his performance to win the trophy

We are talking about boateng dominating the finals and recognized by most pundits as the best player on the field and someone is mentioning trophies alone

Vermalean also won a CL trophy didn't he

Individual honors..

John Terry

FIFA worldcup TOTT 2006

FIFPRO world eleven 2005, 2006,2007,2009

UEFA club football best defender 2005,2008,2009

........................................................

Alago Boateng

Fritz -Walter-medal U19 bronze medal 2009 (which competition be this Abeg ?? )

Dayomumu, can you see that the Boateng/terry comparison is a very fôôlish one??

raumdeuter:
Maybe if you cant search the internet I can assist you

These are two reputable sport sites who gave Jerome BoaTANK the MOTM based on his performance

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/28286068

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jul/13/germany-argentina-brazil-2014-worlds-cup-final-player-ratings

This is exactly where the problem lies..

What's my business with guardian & BBC??

Na dem organize worldcup?

Oga...for the last time, provide a link that supports your bogus claims that Boateng was MOTM instead of Goetze!!

raumdeuter:
[s]Now kindly show us any respected site even if na better lover that honoured Joth Terry or Pedro with such in the finals they made[/s]

Isokuso as usual..

Show us the trophy Boateng won oga.. I didn't ask you for the opinions of drunken pundits like yourself

FYI..Terry was named UEFA Club Defender of the Year in 2005, 2008 and 2009 and was included in the FIFPro World XI for five consecutive seasons, from 2005 to 2009.

The fact that he's at the twilight of his career doesn't mean he should be compared with a mediocre Ghanaian who should be hawking dunkunu on the streets of Accra!!

raumdeuter:
And for Robben you can also search or do you want me to educate you on that also?

Oga - you talked about trophies and I don show you how Pedro take be robben + ribbery papa.

Stop grasping at straws and admit to the fact that the use of trophies alone to rate players na very daft logic!!

From your logic, mascherano & Pique should be the most sought after CBs in Europe as we speak !!

raumdeuter:
You dey on top internet now

WHy he hard you to search for Boateng and Robbens performance in both finals abi na everything person go dey spoonfeed you

Me think say as you run comot man utd thread after being exposed that day, you go stop to dey peddle these treacherous lies up and down. Unfortunately, I no go gree you for here.

Dayo, for the umpeenth time, show us where Boateng won MOTM at the worldcup final

raumdeuter:
And also tell us what Pedro won in the finals he reached

Are you kidding me??

Ogbeni dayo, why you dey edit your usual lies nau??

Pedro has scored in a UCL final. Your beloved Ribery hasn't even managed such a feat. Kun aguero hasn't even played in a UCL semi final.

By your logic,.........

raumdeuter:
Yes Pedro was the MOTM at a world cup final the way Robben was

Or Terry was MOTM at a world cup final the way Boateng was

As usual, he fell for the bait..

Dayo, show us where Boateng was MOTM at a worldcup final

I no go mind make I see robben own too

Dayokanu, no tell me say you don bring this your mumu argument come here again..

I have told you on countless occasions that jeromè Boateng isn't better than the likes of shawcross, Distin etc but you no go gree hear.

And for the umpeenth time, if na by trophies, Pedro>>>robben + scarface so what exactly is your point??

.

And I thought 1025 was the most fòòlish Chelsea fan in the blogosphere..

chrisley024:
how many 10 are we gonna have? Even LvG said we've enough

We should get a DM abeg

I don't see how the acquisition of a 13m rated attacking player would affect our quest to sign a DM. Besides, the fact that he can play upfront and out wide is, na im be the major incentive here.

Firmino's ambidextrous talents have helped developed his adaptability. Leading the line as a detached striker has been a regular position for his club as well as country, but he is naturally a No 10, while wide forward or even deeper in midfield can also bring out the best
in him.
www1.skysports.com/football/news/15115/9883812/roberto-firmino-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-manchester-united-target

If this happens to be true, we shouldn't waste time Abeg!!

SailorXY:
the guy still has a year left on his contract for heaven's sake, he's under no obligation to sign another before the current one elapses! if he chooses to finish his bowl of maize completely before seeking another bowl then its totally within the confines of the law.

what if Real are not interested & he has also decided not to sign for this year, do you now propose we release him for free??

And what about the unnecessary distraction the whole issue has caused? (and may still cause)??

We are rebuilding the squad - if there's any inkling that a player doesn't want to be with us, he should be shown the exit door.

This is man utd Abeg!!

It's a pity 1025 has passed his legendary genes of daftness down to his equally retàrded sons (theincrediblystupidone and hensben)!

#pathetic#

Like I said earlier, it's good to see you are already admitting your initial goof that Di Maria was primarily a winger last season!

You are now starting to lay emphasis on "central midfield", not "attacking midfield".

We are getting somewhere

elampiro:
Staying central during defence. What havoc can one do in one owns half?

www.fourfourtwo.com/features/how-angel-di-maria-went-england-bound-castaway-key-man-real-madrid

I would have liked to highlight certain facts in this explicit analysis of di Maria's final season at Madrid, but unfortunately, it would be too tedious for me.

Elampiro, di Maria was an attacking midfielder last season but I'd agree with you that he had that tenacity to drift out wide (to the left)...shikena!!

elampiro:
4-2-3-1 AND 4-4-2 Di Maria in left.

4-3-3. Di Maria operating the way SAF used Fletcher and Hagreaves. Stay central during defence, then on a counter/attacking drift wide. This is even more difficult than staying on the wing all day. See above.

Atleast you don dey change mouth small small- we are getting somewhere!

elampiro:
No that is a second striker. Ukwu!!!

Elampawa ,who played on the left wing? Was it Ronaldo or di Maria ?? Or na both of them, with Ronaldo being "more inside" than the argentine?

elampiro:
Di Maria played in the wing, or you may see whoscored arrangement.

4-2-3-1
..........Lopez/ Casila
Cavazal- Pepe- Ramos- Marcelo
.......Khedira- Modric
Di Maria.......Isco......Di Maria
.......... Benzenma

4-4-2
..........Lopez/ Casila
Cavazal- Pepe- Ramos- Marcelo
Di Maria-Khedira-Modric- Isco
.......... Benzema - Ronaldo.


4-3-3
Lopez/ Casila
Cavazal- Pepe- Ramos- Marcelo
Modric- Alonso- Di Maria
Bale- Benzema -Ronaldo

Kindly explain this formation to me (as regards di Maria being on the wing).

Thanks

elampiro:
4-3-3
4-2-3-1
4-4-2

I meant to ask : which wing did di Maria play at Madrid last season?

elampiro:
May be people didnt get the basis of this argument. Afrodoc confirmed my position but he went on to say I was wrong.

1. My last line of argument was that Young played behind the main striker in 2010/11. His second most productive season. Coogar disagreed. Afrodoc corroborated my position.

2. The other argument which I abandoned because there were no data at the time, so nothing solid to back, was that I said Young played in a fluid front before 2010/2011. Although more on the wing. Whoscored 2009/2010 kind of supported this, when it listed Young s the only Villa player who played AM(C) in some matches out of 23 players.

So when compare to the best in the world Young does not really mention up as a winger because his stats were boosted by the central roles he was assigned. I doubt if Di Maria ever played the AM(C) for Madrid when he was the best in Assists. I think I have to quit this since people didnt understand it.

How did Madrid line up last season?

Kemizee:
Despite Young having more minutes dis season he cnt evn beat in any stats at all and dis is supposed to b Ashley Maradona dis season.I wonder wat last year wud b like wen Young was completely terrible and di maria was d best winger in d world.Some pipl dnt use their brains.Comparing Young to di maria is like needing a doctor for mental examination

Even though I'm not a stats person, I would like you to post the comparison matrices of di Maria, silva, Sanchez etc

PietroRico:
being rubbish for three quarters of a season is mind blowing consistency

Since you have agreed that his 1st year has been very difficult (due to the obvious reasons you yourself stated), there's no need dwelling over this issue again.

PietroRico:
your 1st point has been trashed here repeatedly.
Now is not such a good time to go into it again.

The more reason why I was surprised you brought it up, despite this well-publicized interview last summer...

"At this moment, we have five no. nines and four no. 10s – and we don't have any wingers to give us attacking width.Or, I should say, we don't have wingers of the highest level, like Ronaldo or Di Maria or somebody like that. So, I have to play another way –and you have seen that already. I only buy when I think we need to buy –the position that is necessary."

PietroRico:
We struggled because of very many reasons

The lack of proper dm is arguably the biggest of them as illustrated by how we fell flat on our asses when carrick got his latest injury

Yeah, but the same carrick was absent when we were playing the diamond that worked so well at the start of the season.

Like you said earlier, let's hope di Maria and other players (both current and potential signings) stay in form for considerable and key periods next season.
