MRTA7:
Imagine arguing about this current pool of defenders. None of which have leadership qualities and none of them are world class. They can sell them all and I wouldn't blink. By God's grace Jones and Rojo will be the first out the door. We shouldn't continue to habour mediocrity if we truly want to be be the best team in the country and in Europe. Even Smalling Bailey or Lindelof. I wouldn't lose any sleep over any of those mugs. You're not winning any major titles with those jokers.

chrisley024:
No double standard. Jones has been in the club before Shaw. So Shaw should be given one or two more seasons, and if he continues to be unfit should be sold as well. I already stated Rojo should join.

chrisley024:
Bar last game where everyone was good, Jones has been horrible for even the few minutes he has played in past games. Let's not even talk about his own goals.

ChristineC:
for how many matches has Phil Jones been available for selection this season? let's even forget about his time on the pitch for a moment.

chrisley024:
Her point is clear; Jones is always unfit which is not news. Rojo should be sold with him also.

ChristineC:
this is old skool views. Players with left foot play on the right comfortably and vice versa.
Patrice Evra played right back against Roma and even scored. Nemanja Vidic played LCB for years despite being less comfortable on the ball than Rio Ferdinand his partner.
Nani plays better from the left.
Mahrez plays better from the right.
Bros even Obinna Nsofor played better from the left.

The point is Phil Jones will rather be at home with his wife than join the men on the battlefield. Why is the club keeping him?

ChristineC:
We both know he will not last 10 games before he takes his customary leave till around the end of this season. He's a fraud and has fleeced enough from Carrington to retire with. The only reason he has been retained this long is the color of his passport.

chrisley024:
Lol. Make I hear elampiro no reply this post that was against Jones.


elampiro rushing to comment whenever he sees a post against Jones.

ChristineC:
Phil Jones should be sold, that guy is another fraud. I'd sell him first before any other defender in the team right now.

In midfield, Mourone Fellaini will likely be sold. If the kind of system OGS wants to play will be sustained then Fella's usefulness will be greatly reduced.

In attack, Romelu Lukaku can still score goals as long as teammates are not playing so far from him. However, if his lack of one-two technique or poor first touch is significantly reducing chances created by the team then he may just become a substitute. On the extreme, if the club can persuade a Paulo Dybala then he will be sold.

So are you finally sticking with “he has underperformed”? Are you categorically starting that Messi has underperformed?.

No come change mouth again o. Why you dey behave like that NSCDC Oga at the top officer na?

afrodoc2:
He has underperformed, he has not underperformed, back to he has underperformed.

Ogbeni stay one place let this L meet you for house.

eph12:
This is so unlike you


You don't know ball

eph12:
So we're back to using goals to rate performance?

patrickmuf:
You didn't see that turn he did much like Xavi? He should see more minutes than Fellini...
I always knew he'll do well in a system that doesn't prioritize defending. Fred also did well when he came on.

patrickmuf:
You obviously didn't see the game.

patrickmuf:
We are creating chances again, no talk of defensive reinforcement, this is what you get when you press from the front, you recover the ball in advanced positions and can do damage as we did for the 5th goal.
Pereira is class...

eph12:
Bros there are so many if in football. Should we start counting all the ifs now?

eph12:
And that form you're talking about is scoring goals na.

eph12:
Yet you claimed Messi underperformed because he didn't score goals in the final. What's football about this time?

eph12:
You claimed Di Maria outperformed Messi, but you can't explain how. Messi didn't perform well because he didn't score in the final, but in the same matches they both played, Messi had more contributions to goals than Di Maria. How do we reconcile these?

eph12:
Stay one place na

eph12:
Messi - 4 goals and 1 assist
Di Maria - 1 goal with no assist

But but Di Maria was the one carrying the team. You go fear superior logic

eph12:
Is it true that when someone says "I have said what I said ", it means the person has ran out of points to defend his position and just being stubborn to accept superior argument?

eph12:
Don't you think that in the light of facts, you need to change what you know about Messi international career?

Maybe Pogba would play better where he doesn't have to do anything. I would play better too if that's what you're insinuating.

Was that not why the club coughed out 500k per week to sign one of the best players in the league? Was that not why the club signed the most expensive striker in the league? Plus experienced players like Matic and Mata. What Sane is doing at City, Martial can do same too or are you saying Martial is not good enough?
