MrLouisVanGaal:
somebody wake me up... Is this night of a thousand laughs?

Lol.

I did these things at local level. I most times think if I had been discovered and encouraged I could have done same at national or International level. But you never know sha. Life is luck. Etim Esin with all his skills ended abruptly. I have people who I was far better than that went a little far. The difference was that they were not so sound academically, so they put all their hope on football. They were a bit younger too, so when scout started coming to our base, I was already in the University. Although there were also older ones who played in Premier League in Nigeria, they didn't pursue education. One won an FA with Berger as a regular player.

vardy?
Mane is understandable, can play anywhere across the front four but vardy?..Naaa
dat guy loves being d only striker so he'll have the space to wreck his havoc which can't b achieved through the philosophy as it will cage him...

Lol. So even if we bought Lewandowski, he would be waiting for a good ball that hardly comes.

Can you play as a left Winger?!
Do you get good Feet to dribble, make crosses and score goals?!

Are you Gaal's scout?

I have great right foot but somewhat weak left foot. I hate to play permanently in the wings. I can run there from the middle. Behind the striker is my best, I could play on top or even number 4.

I am a great goalscorer. My right leg is as solid in shooting as Rivaldo's left foot. I can light a wicked and accurate shot from beyond 35 yards as Yaya Toure sometimes does. I can dribble as Hazard does minusing men on my way. I am very clever and composed in scoring from close range. Practicing in a regular field but using a hand ball goalposts made me to develop these skills.

My left leg is as weak as Van Persie right foot. I still score with it but cannot light any shot. I can guide and aid dribbling it.

So left wing. No no. But even at my age, I am better than Romero anywhere in the outfield. So only £25m.

this line up isn't too bad, since we still have fellaini, defraud,perreira on the bench. Romero can even play, remember jorge campos once featured as an outfield player even when he was a gk

Romero to play? Please I am here. I can represent. I am a sharp shooter with accurate shots and good sense of luring goalkeeper away to slot in. Only 25k per week is what I ask for.

He and Rooney were reported back to training. It looks like the club has decided to allow all the injured players full recovery instead of return today gone tomorrow. Perhaps their return dates were extended.

Oliviaarims:
Now, I'm crying again. This story has reached Nairaland! The said incident happened in my very town and I got a firsthand testimony from the brother of the boy who called for help. The story's been twisted a bit. Aghogho was 10yrs old.. And Silas had put on the home theatre probably to cover screams from his victims. So while he killed the first girl, Aghogho, nobody was able to come to her rescue because of the loud music. He would have also succeeded in killing Vwegba, the second girl had a friend of the family not happened to have been checking on them at that time. He peeped through the window of the house and found Vwegba struggling with Silas in the room and immediately went to call for help.
Silas was shot in the leg by mopol officials who were immediately called to the scene. He claims to be 17,not 15. But everybody else believes he's more than that. Evil boy looking for pity.

He had tried to kill innocent children at a time when they were totally helpless! Aghogho must have begged for her life before she died. Imagine the shock the little girl must have experienced.... Awaiting death from the hands of a boy she hitherto trusted... Their pastor's son! There were tears on her face as seen in the pic's of the corpse. Very gruesome way to die. What a sad fate for the young, respectful, intelligent and God-fearing 10yr old Aghogho! The family had just 3 children, all girls and the evil Silas wanted to kill two. Wickedness of man!

May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace... AMEN.

Good report.

So sad!

chidexxy007:
so who n who are u suggesting

One versatile experienced defender like we used to have Oshea.

One striker - Vardy

One pacing attacking player - Mane.

Vardy and Mane would gladly accept squad role when better players eventually come.

Last weekend I was streaming our match, I saw us doing a very great counter, we outnumbered the opposition. Then I got distracted because I was in an event. When I came back in 2 minutes, score stood still at 0-0.

That would make it worse seeing how United have fallen from grace to grass under Moyes and Van Goat.

I enjoy them a lot these days. Pure attacking football, swift movement. Counter attack.

Since Di Maria left we have been unable to complete one counter attack.

Good luck to all my United faithfuls that will be watching another heartbreaking match from an injury ravaged side. My future condolences to them. As for me, I'd be resorting back to the tactics I used during Moyes era - which is reading about the match details online after every loss.

“Consistency is everything in football. You get games, you feel better,” he said. “You enjoy it more and your fitness is better. When you’ve not played for a long time it’s very hard for the player.

“When Van Gaal arrived I could see I wasn’t in the plan. When you’re a player you can feel it, you can see that.

“To be honest I didn’t really enjoy playing when Van Gaal was there. “I like to enjoy myself, to try things and do stuff. Last year I wasn’t doing that. “The 10 games I played I thought I played very well apart from Leicester [a 5-3 away defeat]. It’s hard to know.

“I had some choices to go in England, but in the end I wanted to try something different. It’s good to challenge yourself.”

Rafael admits he understands why Red Devils fans are calling for a more adventurous style than the possession based strategy Van Gaal currently uses.

“Everyone is different. Results matter so if they can win the league it will be a different story.
“I watch them play and I’ve heard some things as well... But it’s hard. Football is for the fans. They want to see good football.”

I am more interested in the Lads! The quartet you mentioned are fine Players but I still believe we can discover great talents among the Youngsters!

Play only these young stars from now till May. What you will get is 10th-12th position. They will play some matches very fine, but it's always going to be nearly, nearly nearly in 60% of the time. That's we would say we missed chances and we nearly won.

You need to look at the history of our line ups. The difference between our game against Arsenal and Everton was three players in strategic positions. Jones came in and paired Smalling. Rojo came to the left back. So we had three solid players at the back. Herrera came into the attack. That's a player who doesn't only distribute but can stop the opposition from starting an attack.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:18am On Dec 12, 2015

McNair tried Las season playing as a RCB. Why not develope him there? He should have partnered Smalling in the last two games. Blind should have been on the left back and Darmian on the right.

It's getting more & more obvious that this man isnt the right person for the job. With this mentality, we may be back to the exact position Moyes left us...not neccesarily in terms of position on the log, but the general psche & Orientation of the players..

My Major concern is that we may have to wait till the expiration of his contract (in 2017) before the club seeks a replacement.

I don't usually like sack hire, sack hire. But this man is losing it.

He should try to correct the squad a little by buying 3 experienced players in January so that the squad can be bigger incase of injuries.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:21am On Dec 12, 2015

If we had 70% of our injured players, we could hope of winning the league. We played some good football against CSKA and West Brom. About three matches in a row and in each we could have massacre our oppositions. Chances were many and we reduced our opponents to virtually zero threats. All of a sudden, injuries got worse. Gaal also sometimes unnecessarily change a winning team.

We were winning when we had Valencia, Jones, Rojo and Herrera all fit together.

I'm not surprised that you always find your voice on such threads. No exams today? You've craftily avoided threads that discuss how Dollars have been moved out of CBN in suit cases only to end up in the hands of PDP supporters.

Don't worry about dividends of democracy now, let us undo the damage done by PDP, then we can proceed towards the promised land.

We know that oil is the basis of our economy and the Naira to Dollar rate fell from N160 to N220+ in the regime of your hero.

As long as Brent continue to sell below $50/barrel, don't expect any magic that will restore it to N160 to a Dollar as was obtainable when Brent was selling above $100/barrel.

In due time, you will be put to shame.

Brent Crude is currently $39/barrel. As at yesterday.

I was about posting this. This is not expected of LVG. He just grouped us together with the rest of EPL teams in terms of capability. What he is saying is that we are no longer special. If we have almost same capability with other teams in EPL, what about Europe?

That's the first team injured! Funny.

LvG can still throw on a purposeful team - if he's willing to freshen things a bit.

- - - - - - - - - de Gea - - - - - - - -
Varela - - McNair - Carrick - - Blind
- - - - - - - Schneiderlin - - - - - - -
Lingard - Mata - Memphis - Young
- - - - - - - - - Martial - - - - - - - -

Subs: Romero, Fellaini, Jackson, Powell, Pereira, Goss

Chai na wa o

He should give Pereira a chance @ some stage in the game. The lad is good enough, let him get the required experience this moment the team is ravaged!

I think Scherdeline and Carrick should change positions in your line up. The person playing DM in 4-1-4-1 should be able to distribute well. Many back passes will be going to him to reset the attack or change attacking direction.

chrisley024:
does it even need to be interpreted? PSV is of course currently better than United. How is a team with 1W 1D against you and finished ahead you not better than you How else do we measure who's better?

As at when United beat Brugges, they were stronger than PSV because they both competed in Europa with Brugges going as far as quarter final while PSV lost in group stage. A long the line their oppositions criss crossed and Brugges did strongly. Brugges went into UCL qualifying series and did superb well until we met them. At the time they had not lost any home game in ten European matches, winning their last match three nil.

u admit that u saying "Brugge is a thousand times better than PSV" doesn't make sense??

And stop all this nonsense. No such thing as gifting points in Europe. Especially in d UCL. We didn't do enough to win. With modt of the credit going to Baba FeeLawSawFee.

Anyways, ur precious Brugge got knocked out of Europa with a GD of -7. While PSV are through to the KO stages of thr UCL. So pls come and explain to us with examples how Brugge is d better team....

You are going round circles meaninglessly.

We gifted PSV with our long injuries. Chikena.

You may also say PSV is better than Manchester United.

He tried that day. But can he cope with all the Agbegi EPL players? Remember all the aerial threats too. McNair is going to be the only one heading away crosses. May be for this reason, Fellaini will start.

you forgot to add that brugges also gifted united 6points, thats why we qualified.

Our players were not injured against Brugges. Luke Shaw alone dealt with them in the first leg with all his runs all over the field.

Which mumu logic?? I neva brought United into the equation.

All i want is for u to come defend wat u said back in September.

Now the same Brugge are out of Europe scoring 4 and conceding 11. While PSV are still in the UCL.

It is obvious u just like the English press, ll say anything to defend Rooney's poor form.

So i ask u again. How exactly is Brugge a better team than PSV??

This doesn't make sense except if you want to make us believe PSV is now greater than Manchester United.

As at when United beat Brugges, they were performing stronger than PSV in Europe. United gifted PSV 4 points, that's why they qualified.

INJURY UPDATE BEFORE BOURNEMOUTH TEST

11/12/2015 11:12
Louis van Gaal has told MUTV that no fewer than nine players are unavailable for selection ahead of Manchester United’s Barclays Premier League match at Bournemouth on Saturday.

Bastian Schweinsteiger is suspended for three games now the FA has charged him with violent conduct after the German was involved in an incident with Winston Reid during last weekend’s West Ham game.

Matteo Darmian suffered a hamstring injury during the first half of Tuesday’s Champions League defeat at Wolfsburg and the Italian defender was substituted before half-time. Chris Smalling also picked up a groin injury in Germany but the defender gallantly played on until the final whistle.

Marcos Rojo and Antonio Valencia remain sidelined after undergoing recent surgeries on shoulder and foot injuries. Phil Jones, Ander Herrera, Wayne Rooney and Luke Shaw are also unavailable – although the positive news is that Morgan Schneiderlin is returning to fitness following his hip problem.

During his MUTV interview at the Aon Training Complex, van Gaal provided a full update on United's injuries: "It is not so good. We have eight injured players because Darmian and also Smalling we can add to this list, and Schweinsteiger is also suspended, so it's nine players who are not able to play.

"Schneiderlin is coming back, that’s not a problem, but we have a list of eight players injured and Rojo has been operated on this week and it takes a long time. These injuries are very heavy – Shaw and Valencia have also been operated on and that’s our problem."

On the busy festive schedule, the manager continued: "It is not beneficial for us because we have a heavy programme but I believe that Smalling, Herrera and Darmian are coming back before Christmas."

Following the 3-2 defeat at Wolfsburg and United's subsequent exit from the Champions League, van Gaal admitted his job this week has been to lift the players' spirits. "I try to but, of course, the players have to do that also by themselves, they are also the professionals," he told MUTV .

"They need to use their tools to lift them up and we have a lot to fight for, I think. So we are very close in the Premier League to the top. We can fight for the FA Cup and fight also for the Europa League, so I think we have enough to fight for."

MUTV's full interview with van Gaal will be shown in Countdown To Kick-off at 18:30 GMT today (Friday).

No! No! No! No!
Dont even try to switch the topic. Wetin consign me with Bilbao and Luke Shaw's injury??

Come here and explain to us how Brugge is a better team than PSV as u claimed few months ago.....

And plis leave United out of the equation.

How can United be left out of the equation?

In your logic PSV is a greater team than United. Bilbao is a greater team than United. Basel is a greater team than United.

We could even expand it to many other small teams who are currently doing well in Europe than big European clubs like AC Milan, Inter Milan, Porto etc.

Reason well.
