Victor Osimhen deja Vu. Lookman should handle this very well and not listen to Nigerians

Even if what lookman did was wrong

The Coach shouldn't call out one of your best players like that in public to the press
At least enter dressing room first
This is someone that won him his first major trophy

Sportsweb:
🚨🇳🇬 Gasperini: “Ademola Lookman is one of the worst penalty takers I’ve ever seen”.

“He wanted to take the penalty after scoring a goal, he took the ball despite Retegui and De Keteleare available to take it… I didn’t like what Lookman did”.

Lmao they were losing 5-1 aggregate before lookman came o

The same retegui that missed penalty against arsenal and Torino? That made them drop points

Club brugge and feyenoord knocking out big teams like Atalanta and Milan

Wow

Sir nattevs , good morning
I don't know if you'll see this but I really hope you do , it didn't want to intrude your privacy by sending a mail

I have raised 40k sir I really need help with this

God bless you any amount will suffice

Lamine yamal keeps loosing the ball

BlueMann:
Another win for Strasbourg. Another solid performance from Santos, as well as Mamadou Sarr.

My team

They go into every game as underdogs and win

They've taken points from Marseille and the big teams there


Santos has been consistent

But do you think he can play at this level in England?

airmark:
The little he played, he was doing his primary duty very well unlike your wasteful Jackson.

And has your Neto with goal sense done his primary duty like lavia?

With the plenty he's played

airmark:
Just say we miss Lavia.

Someone that has no played 90mins for us before?

bisqit:
Your madueke that cannot play with the team. If I will kick you , you will find yourself in wartorn somalia. Nonsense

Has more out put than the "neto" that can play with the team


I'll pick madueke anyday, anytime over any of the wingers

andrewbaba44:
He haven’t scored much this season ,but you can see his impact to the city team

And he is also creating a lot of chances

If our wingers could do that I'll be happy

Sancho was doing it at the beginning but all the flame don off


Neto has always been shiit since his days at wolves

Taguchi:
Jude is becoming fond of that lately, he used the f word on the linesman against ATM last week

Yeah true

That one was even loud 😂😂

Maybe he feel say the refs no dey hear English

iamoyindamola:
Same reason slot got one

If it was a coach I'll understand

A yellow could have been ok na

La Liga is wild

Why did Bellingham get a straight red for insulting the refree?

Wdym arsenal are only 4pts behind Liverpool

I thought they won the league already

6th position

Unlimited22:
Omar Marmoush.

Mikel Merino.

Dango Ouattara.

Yakubu minteh

raumdeuter:
In this 25mins Marmoush has matched Neto EPL goals this season

Both were bought for around the same price but it seems na abomination for Chelsea wingers to score only Nackson must score

You dey mind airmark?

Yakubu minteh of ordinary Brighton has more goals than the fraud

Does mancity even need marmoush, 😓😓


Our own things dey always different, he is the same amount with Neto and Felix o

Just look at Ethan nwaneri

Only 17
He will go far

airmark:
Maybe we should go and sign him, since his 5 league goals is more impressive than Madueke's 7.

Who is talking about madueke here? Did madueke play 90mins? Was he not injured


And yes it's better than Sancho and Neto that has 4 goals combined
Your useless favorites that are not better than sterling and mudryk

rooftops:
The worst part is that if we play this same Brighton in 7 days time, the result will be same or even get worse

Dem flog maresca

Give am days to prepare then still beat am again


What is worse is that over 2 legs our players failed to score a goal

BlueMann:
Maresca, what you're doing is not working, especially with the injuries. For the love of Christ, put that bald head to work and tweak something

😂

Englishisamust:
Our 13th position is a blessing in disguise. We no dey even chase top 4. No pressure at all. We either qualify for Europa by fa cup or qualify for champions league by europa. The benefit of them all is that we are offloading that ekuke to Chelsea!!! Our 25million must not shakeooo!!! We no won hear story!!! . Dem go low we go low!!!! That ekuke must be offloaded to Chelsea by fire by force

You got mount for 75m with a year left on his contract

I think the scores are level now

nateevs:
I said I will not write off any players until I see them under another manager. I said that because until the last 5 games of last season, there was nothing tactical about Poch. I said that because I needed to see players in strict tactical positioning. I have seen enough now of some players, and no that nothing can be done about them.


Enzo for instance, I didn't jump on his case like Ibime did early on. I kinda felt there was a tactical way to balance using Enzo in the midfield without major midfield overload from the opposition in defensive passes of the game. Which is why I applaud how Maresca deploys the inverted defender.

The problem is that Enzo as an attacking player is also a problem. He's the main reason Maresca's double 8 doesn't work in attack. He's probably good in a slower league. In the PL, he's a complete misfit. He's like one of those Jorginho/Pirlo-like players that like to roam at the base of the midfield for long passes. Not mobile enough to join the attack in correct timings, not nimble enough to be very press resistant and almost no goal-sense.

Unfortunately, he's the same in the defensive passes of the game. Take that dude out and put in like a Szobozlai/Guimares type player, and you'd see the instant impact with Maresca's tactics, in double 8 alongside Palmer, one 10/one 8 or even double 6s alongside Caicedo. Lavia could easily become this player apart from the offensive side, but then he can't get more than 3 games before he breaks down.

This is why I now concede we have a personnel problem this season.


The problem we have now is that it's all gone extremely political. Owners want to save face and act like all their decision-making have turned out correct. They employ a manager who's expected to toe the line, follow the narrative and protect the value of the asset.

I say Maresca should say phuck it, I changed my mind. I do it my way, or I walk. But Maresca is not Poch in profile. Poch can easily walk into a top four job in any league in the world, whereas it is a one-in-life-time opportunity for Maresca. So he can't just say phuck it.

The problem[b] is the owners[/b].

Enjoyed reading this analysis, top notch



Yes I said this some other time. As much as we like to heap the blame on the coach and the players


We are not serious as a club and the management is where the issue stems from


Buying of fringe players when we need established ones has to stop

airmark:
That's why i called him a fvcktard.

He missed a striker that failed to score in his last 8 matches, with basket full of big chances missed.

Like the basket of Chances he missed yesterday?

Continue protecting your useless wingers

Like it was not yakubu minteh , a winger that dropped two goals on our heads

nateevs:
The structure of the team is weak. Enzo/Caicedo is a weak midfield. Palmer is a 10. That leaves just Caicedo trying to Marshall all the opposition running at our goal. Which is one of the reasons why we must invert.

The board made a bad gamble on Enzo, and insist that that investment must not go to waste. Maresca must man up, drop Enzo and fortify that midfield. Unfortunately though, we sent Andrey and Ugochukwu out. Andrey would have been a brilliant option to have now.

On top of this we have extremely unproductive wingers. If you have weak wingers, then we are not scoring, and we become easy to shut down as a whole team.

Last season I said we had a tactical problem. This season, we have a personnel problem.

I'm glad you're being honest with this egbon and not defending as usual


But did you consider this when you said
"You're not writing off Any player until poch leaves?

FBS:
Understood but if Brighton could turn things around, surely we can as well

Brighton didn't turn anything around

We are just a shit team


We will be here when the likes of Southampton beat this same Brighton

Lana1:
Bro was just goving Broghton Freedom to run paat him today

Na so the agenda sweet you reach 😂

FBS:
But the same Brighton lost to Everton 1 nil and then Forest 7-0.

Maresca and his boys just need to get back to winning ways by finding the right balance and formation or whatever

My point exactly egbon

Singapore1:
only betis and Fiorentina can trouble us.

And you think we will win them ?

Brighton just did a double over us in a week

Jamiuokolaa:
See how that lofted through pass came in so easily

Lmao

Una problems plenty o

They'll say it's only Jackson that is our problem

When the problem surplus

Now it looks like we are entering injury Crisis

Unlimited22:
Even if it meant putting Palmer wide and making the RB bomb forward

But we gats do inverted comma 😂

Reason why I am angry at the coach


I expected him to make tweaks like this since the loss to Ipswich
