The name of the person starts with D and ends with X, right?

yeah

I dey use eye dey find one person, mah still dey patient sha

People are just desperate that's all, you can't blame them for that, we've lost a huge some to betting and when somebody comes and drops draws like that, what do you expect?... I believe mentioning his ID isn't really wrong, he might just have pity and drop more for everyone today

God, where was I? Where was I?

Donemmex abeg, na beg I dey beg, I never chop pass 2k before Since I start to bet, come back for me abeg

Everybody hates chris

No need for this long talk, coogar, bring a gif of our game against tottenham, where rooney wasted that sublime pass

That's a very clear example

elampiro:
No argument here has ever been about yesterday's match. The genesis was Ruudie's general comment. He did not restrict Rooney's performance to yesterday. He made it looked like that was how Rooney had played all season.

Anyone who joined the argument is assumed to have understood my reason for reaction.

Okay!

elampiro:
We are not arguing yesterday's match.

We were(you and I) not arguing rooney's first touch

elampiro:
I have give stats. Falcao, Young and RVP are the worst in these areas.

Valencia is one of our best in first touch and passes.

What about yesterday's match?

coogar:
i think it's a waste of time arguing with these ones. rooney gets dispossessed the most in our squad and some folks still don't think rooney has the worst ball control & the worst short passing accuracy in our team?

#trollsbythedozen

It was crystal clear yesterday, wonder why they've refused to admit it

parrotibaba:
@dopejemi ,against spurs in 2010 ,in dat 3-1 win at white hart lane ,his first touch was wonderful ,n with his second touch ,he nutmegged d defender n slid d ball home

Use my logic

elampiro:
Mata came in with fresh leggs. The battle had been fought hard in the first half of the game. That was not an ordinary football, there was some rugby in that match. That is why you have to commend Rooney. Moreoever, Rooney was to maitain position in midfiled and not in final third. Gaal even changed the formation with Mata's introduction.

If Mata didnt lift the team, what else did he come to do?

Elampawa but do you agree that rooney was poor yesterday?

parrotibaba:
did Rooney sleep with ur gf or wife? not to start a fight here but if u read my posts well u will see dat dis was an instance dat I gave just like coogar did for mata n berbatov ,dia r many good touches dat I hv seen from Rooney since I started supporting united,u don't expect me to remember all

Rooney's first touch problem seems to be more of an objective matter than a subjective one from what I've seen and heard people say

elampiro:
You think I am a student like you? Lecturers learn from me.

Hmmm!

parrotibaba:
dats BS ,it's not concrete evidence dat his first touch is abysmal ,I just gave u one instance n another one d same season was his second goal against westham in a 4-2 win ,Valencia crossed d ball into d area n wazza's first touch was class,it took him away from his marker n bang!!!

If messi misses two penalty kicks in a season? Does it mean he doesn't know how to take a penalty kick?

Valencia drifts to the middle of the park once in a blue moon, does it mean he's good at it?

Mata has scored goals with his right foot, does it mean he is good at it?

Cause rooney's first touch in two games in a season were good doesn't mean he is good at it

coogar:
even elampawa's fellow rooney fans all criticised rooney yesterday. and you are right, goal.com rated fletcher far more than rooney. among all the players that completed 90 mins, rooney was rated the poorest.

Hahahahahahaha, I even said it here yesterday, fletcher made some surprisingly cool forward passes

elampiro:
You are funny. Movement is now contribution? Which player was more available. For the ball than Rooney?

You are funny to rubbish build up play tto Herrera's goal. Did the goal fall from the sky? Rooney passed to Fletcher to enable Fletcher create a chance. Fletcher intended to do that..




Wait sef. I go check stat much later. Till then.

Na you funny pass, I didn't just say movement, I said his movement with the 'ball', it opened up the yeovil defence, mata was rated higher than everybody with 8, if his movement with the ball wasn't a contribution, how come he got the highest rating, more than rooney who was on the pitch for 90mins

See, let's stop going back and forth, we know fatigue played a part, but rooney was piss poor yesterday

coogar:
anyone who saw yesterday's match would know rooney was the worst player on the pitch until the 2nd goal. the comments on this thread during the game would confirm that.

rooney's first touch is the poorest in our squad bar none. without a doubt, when rooney is in form - he sometimes play as good as messi and ronaldo but when he's out of form, he's easily our worst player.

rooney's bottöm level is worse than any of us here. when he's not in form, he finds it difficult to even pass from 1-3 yards, the ball bounces off him, his diagonal balls go out of touch and he's just useless to the cause.

As in ehn, I was so irritated yesterday, he couldn't even pass anymore, his long balls were just wasteful, he was just jumping around like a chicken whose head has been cut off

elampiro:
Fletcher made more costly errors.

I bet he was rated higher than rooney

elampiro:
How did Fletcher get his assist for Herrera's goal?

Now, who else made more than one contribution? In your definition.

Lol! That was just a normal pass, even fletcher didn't expect herrera to score, rooney didn't even expect fletcher to pass to herrera, even fletcher's pass was deflected to herrera, so rooney didn't make any major contribution there

Mata! His movement with the ball was terrific, even though herrera gave the ball away too many times, his movement was also good, and surprisingly fletcher made some good forward passes, but rooney was passing sideways and backwards and trying to play a shot knowing fully well there were two players in front of him and that was not the first time he has done something like that, let's just face fact, rooney was piss poor yesterday, second to wilson, falcao should come 3rd or 4th

Wetin mukina dey find for here

elampiro:
He has been very good all season. To try to make one match to rubbish his entire season is pure witch hunting.

You see, many people criticized Rooney objectively but Ruudie was trying to use this match to generalize his season. This season, Rooney has been good with first touch.

May be I will start marking every mistakes from RVP and Mata.

Well! I won't dispute the fact that rooney's contributions this season has helped us a lot

Really haven't noticed his first touches

coogar:
i dunno how he does it - no matter the height or speed at which the ball is travelling, berbatov's deft touch kills the ball instantly.

it's his confidence

elampiro:
OMG! Fletcher contributed to Man United more than Rooney? You are high.

* 'Am get am before'. More like u talking abt RVP. Rooney has same number of goals as RVP. RVP has played more mtches and he is a striker. If it were the reverse, we wouldn't hear word. We would see you bringing in usless articles and calling for Rooney to be dropped. Amature.

If I'm not mistaking, fletcher had more forward passes than rooney yesterday, please try and bring up the stats

Not in support of fletcher making more contributions than rooney though

elampiro:
We scored two goals. Rooney was involved in both goals. He gave the pass to Fltecher who in turn passed to Herrera.

Rooney had a clearance in our box. I will even check the match stats later. He fought the mifield battle against those agbegis.

Rooney should be commended for battling for us week in week out. Where is Fellaini, and Rafael, Young, Shaw, and the rest midfield players? You think it's easy?

Nobody is saying he should not be commended, he has tried no doubt, but the only major contribution he made yesterday was his assist, I can as well call de gea's shoot ins contributions if you are counting those alagadus as contributions

elampiro:
What are you surprised about? Did Rooney make 5 touches to put those balls on target?

When the other players score those goals, the argument can start.

That's not the kinda first touch we are talking about now elampiro

coogar:
see mercurial first touch from berbatov - the god of first touch. the day rooney controls a ball like this, he would win a ballon d'or.

https://i.imgur.com/N7jlsWQ.gif

No question about berbatov

coogar:
it's painful you dunno the meaning of first touch. it's a player's first touch to control the ball so that the ball doesn't get taken away from him by the markers? how can you classify shot on target as first touch? your football analysis is pure wänk!

I was surprised myself

elampiro:
Fellaini was worse. I have forgotten the match sef. Even with Valencia, Carrick and Youbng in the match, Fellaini was poo.

* How can you even say that was Rooney's only contribution? What yeye talk is that?

Please! What other contribution did rooney make

elampiro:
Rooney has not even been poor as Fellaini's last two matches for us. In one of Fellaini's last two matches, his bottom level was so bad that it looked like he was a player for he opposition side. He was gifting them passes and one led us to concede a goal. He would chest and control a pass for an opponent.

Yet, Fatigue doesn't affect?

Forget that thing, rooney's only highlight in a game of 90mins was his assist that came at the end of the game, rooney was that poor yesterday, fellaini wasn't that poor... We know it was fatigue but just admit rooney was piss plus shi.t poor yesterday, I've never witnessed that kinda shitty performance from rooney before

RuuDie:
Even Titus Bramble would make that pass...

De gea don make that kind pass sef

coogar:
first touch nko?
if rooney receives a pass in oshodi, his first touch would take the ball to ibadan.



di maria nets another counter attack!

you dey crase
