In as much as I don't care about Whoscored rating, Di Maria rating came from his performances in the easy group stage matches. Di maria has always been a brainless inconsistent player from time memorial. Ask any Madrid fan.

Diademk07:
Player of the tournament? He was average apart from his goal against the Swiss team while Messi did the major work, he was as poor as Aguero. He was shite at the recent Copa America too and was shite vs City in the both legs of CL. Was that also Van gaal's fault?

Let's not forget that prior to his 6 months wonder, he's been always inconsistent and the fact that he was mostly sat on the bench in the first half of his last season at Madrid, which was his best season BTW while Bale was out injured at the period.

He was a starter at first but was later relegated to the bench due to his poor play but then, Khedira got injured and as a result of that, a path opened for Di maria to be back as a makeshift box-box CM in the team.

The thing with Di Maria apart from inconsistency is he needed the vision and control of Modric/Alonso to craete space for him and we don't have that in our midfield. It wasn't a surprise that he looked rubbish vs City without the likes of Verratti in the midfield.

Another is that only a patient coach can work with Di Maria. If you consistently watched him at Madrid, he could be rubbish for the whole game yet eventually provide an assist, A coach like Ancellotti couldn't have that and the reason he was benched until he was converted as a box-box CM. I'm sure I can't have such patience as well.

Diademk07:
Smalling was culpable as well. Every players has moments when they aint at their best. Should I remind you Smalling Bleep up vs Newcastle, Wolfsburg and the fact that after dec, he wasn't as good as his early starts?

As for Jones, although I rate his potential to become a good defender, he's quite brainless. It's his brainless play that causes most of his injuries and I think he's regressed so much. You need to see how a 17yr old Shuan Williams was showing him as the more mature sensible defender in majority of last season u21 matches where Jones looked abject of a footballer.

He needs to leave for his own good in order to see plenty of game times to develop his potential 'cos he's regressed so much.

Diademk07:
A 6month wonder who bailed out as soon as he had an excuse (Burglary) to escape the EPL?

We all saw his level against City the other day when Psg faced City. He's an inconsistent player, who was no better than Nani prior to his 6months wonder of transitioning into a box-box CM while being cuddled by Alonso and Modric in the midfield.

SIRcumalot:
just one game? free this guy and focus on the positive. all am saying is,we let him try that Position and see how far.

SIRcumalot:
he was still one of our best performer last season.
na big disservice we dey do our self if we no test am there.

SailorXY:
I think what United have done so far is in the interest of the EPL @ large.
Not letting go of one of the world class goalkeeper in the league & now succeeded in adding another in his youth can only improve the league cuz let's face it, there's been a huge talent drain from the EPL over the past decade which has translated to the decline in quality & performance from reps in the UCL.

If this trend is not nipped, this isn't about the money now; in no time the league coefficient will be reduced.
Is it qualifies every year Arsenal & get out in second round that will uphold the numbers from EPL? or is it rookies like Spurs & Leicester?

SIRcumalot:
some guys here have forgotten he didn't impress in that position the fiset time around,
but playing a full season as a CB where he contested balls and marked bigger,faster striker may just have helped him out.
a few games as a DM again to see how far won't hurt.

SIRcumalot:
you guys are forgetting we tried blind in this position during LVG era it didn't work out so well I hope he gets another chance again.

afrodoc2:
Pogba and Herrera together as the only central midfielders is a recipe for disaster. It is not just about choosing the most skillful or dynamic midfielders, the manager has to choose the right combination that protects the defense as well as aids the attack.
Pogba was brought on for his attacking runs from midfield , so when he is doing that is it Herrera that will shield the defense or is it Herrera that will be dictating play from between the 2 CBs?

tess1:
How soon people forget games that they are now suggesting Blind as a direct replacement for Carrick in DM.

Everton, Crystal Palace and I think Swansea in his first season should come to mind. Most especially the Everton away game where we were beaten 3-0. He was so sluggish in that game which Everton played on a high tempo. Immediately he's beaten, it's usually an expressway to our defence. He'll then be running like someone whose legs have been tied to something heavy. He'll be exposed in any high-tempo match like he has been before.

We discussed extensively on this on those match days then. I can see so many of us here have forgotten that. Blind as our last midfielder cannot work unless his speed and his reading of the game have improved which I doubt.

Odunharry:
Between 250-300mb.. Modbro quality is dope same with Sportstv..
Wss is the best though.. Its pictures are of very high quality.

I will advice anyone who want to stream to always load 500 mtn/etisalat (don't know for glo/airtel) and above starting from friday and you will get free 1gigabyte of data to use till Sunday 11:59pm.

Atleast the 1gig can be used to watch 3match and u can also do little browsing..
Mind you, your 500 recharge will still be intact..

I'm so sure of it.

Donald Trump is America's next President come November.

See the seemingly unceasing terror attacks in Germany and France is a vindication on Trump's stance on some important national issues such as security and immigration.

Americans, unlike Nigerians don't vote sentiments.

Hillary is going nowhere, forget the propaganda of CNN

I'll rather go watch in football centers when MTN messes up instead of paying that ridiculous amount to DSTV for just watching footie. Funny enough, i do connect my smart-tv to my fone, so on a good day if network is okay....I'll connect my fone to my tv and watch it on the big screen. Same goes with my laptop.

igbsam:

Or to discus how to use us in solving all their club's financial problem

chrisley024:
OK. We can assume O'Shea is more intelligent than Vidic and Rio then or Luiz more than Terry and T.Silva
