So I'm just reading that we have same number of points with last season after the same number of matches played. Hmmm

Leyqute:
The main culprits of the loss are Sanitizer and MacTomminay and most of the attackers.

Then there's EtH who refused to change his style to accommodate the weakness of those useless midfielders.

Sancho didn't play up to half of the game yesterday. But that didn't stop you guys from needlessly attacking him.

Like AWB used to be, he has turned to a scapegoat because of his poor performances in the past. Na wah.

I think why Sancho is being called out is that he should be starting if he's useful. Weghorst should not be starting when we have a fit Sancho, Rashford, Martial and Antony. For the amount he was bought and his weekly wages, he should be the first player on the team sheet. That's why he needs to make way for someone that can be in the first 11

A Burnley reject and a bench warmer at Bayern was all they could get in January. It is looking like Ten Hag is a try and error manager laslas, cos i don't see how a Pep will have Iqbal and be playing McTominay in midfield. After two full season, we will know where we stand....

I have also been clamoring for these youngsters to get more game time, but ETH knows best.

Those January signings just signal to me that the club didn't want to spend any money in January.

Blake755:
Even that Brazilian pocolee epl is not for him rubbish

This is his first season. We can allow him a couple more seasons

CrystalTiger:
Our pivot today at the beginning was Bruno and Sabitzer, after halftime it changed to Bruno and McTom..

Without Bruno playing AM, we're thoroughly fvcked in attack..Fred with all his flaws shouldn't be on the bench for either of Sabinus or McTom

In the absence of Casemiro and Eriksen, mcfred is still our best combination

metodman:
Sancho is a scam and he needs to leave. It's simple. He just doesn't possess the qualities to thrive in the EPL.

To add to you list, we need intelligent players. I think we are lacking in that department a lot. We have tricksters but not intelligent players. I think Erickson might just be the only one in that but he's physically not there and age is another issue.

ETH should also come to terms that Dalot will never be able to tame Maximin, even in the next 100years. At the moment AWB seems to be the better RB, which in itself a concern.

We need Greenwood back. Morally wrong of me to say that and I admit, but in terms of our reality, we need him.

I don't think wanting Greenwood back is morally wrong. This world we're creating where people don't get second chance is crazy and not fair imo. What else do we want from Greenwood? Maybe he should just hang himself since we can't move past the past and forge a new future.

EPL is not for players like Sancho. If he has any decency in him and wants to achieve something in his career, he should have figured that by now. We lack players that are aggressive with the ball. Players that will not lose the ball unnecessary and will run after you till they get the ball back when they lose it. At the moment, my main problem with this team is the midfield. And it has been the problem for the last 5 years. If ETH doesn't solve it, he would have just wasted our time

Leyqute:
LoooL. I don’t know why those guys dey vex today.

Casemiro and Eriksen, our first choice midfielders, are out. We’re parading non-ideal options in attack and Rashford is a knock away from injury.

What kind of performance were they expecting??

Exactly why we need midfield reinforcements. Eriksen can't play a full season. He shouldn't even be our first choice. We can only hope Casemiro can stay out of trouble going forward. But buying those players are non negotiable. Man City can afford to play 2 different set of midfielders and quality won't drop. They don't have two heads. Anybody against this club buying 15 players is an enemy of the club

We seriously need at least two technical midfielders, comfortable with the ball and full of energy. We can't play next season with what we currently have. We need strikers, and at least two wingers, one to replace Sancho

If you mention we don't need 15 players here I fit fight you

olabode89:
We got lucky... Newcastle were the better team that day too.

We have been lucky for some time. I honestly don't know what ETH is teaching these players anymore. Our build up play is zero

If ETH doesn't spend money and pursue some of these players away from the club, his best achievement will be winning the Carling cup

maik99:
Unlucky to come off now
Na only him I dey see o

See doing what na? Cross, pass, good shot?

maik99:
Funny how Antony has been our best player in this game

Lol

Trying to build play for this team na like further maths. The coach will always talk about a better performance in his pre match press conference, but the players will do the opposite.

larride:
With McTom in midfield?

Well he's what we have at the moment.

These guys need to match Newcastle energy in that midfield

They're ganging up on LS wing and he's not getting any help.

Tuchel 4:0 Dortmund

Lana1:
Mitoma should be a United player in the not too distant future.

If only we're that decisive. Things have to be going to shit before they can become decisive about anything

Lana1:
You see that City equaliser where Mahrez layed of the pass that led to the assist, if it was Antony he would have taken a shot

I saw that cross. Nothing on earth would have made Antony attempt a cross or even pass with his right. He would have brought the ball to his left and paused

Lana1:
City score those type of goals at least 8 times a week.

Body dey always pepper me when I see those kind of movements. Just see how everyone eyes are open and aware to the movement of their players. Our attackers will just face the ground like they have no teammate to play with

See sweet build up goals. God abeg

kokaneprodigy:
Goal!!!!
Liverpool scores

Goaaaaaaal baaaaaaall

TheLequte:
Na everybody's nairaland. But only if you're using a mobile device. I'm acccessing the website right now via desktop and all things' normal.

Probably an April Fools.

It was on big screen size too. They have reverted back to the previous design

Katcall:
Man U fans, did you know ricardo quaresma was once regarded a greater talent than CR7

True. He was once greater than Messi too. He was the most skillful player in his prime and its a shame it all went to waste

MRTA7:
ETH did not look happy with the performance throughout the match. He also places a lot of emphasis on fast play quick transitions in his press conferences. I think that is what United will be under him.

Those fast quick transitions are becoming very annoying. We’re just giving the opponent the ball back to come at us. It’s fine if we’re playing better or equal teams, but teams we should control and teach football, it’s just annoying

main24:
They've been on decline since winning that cup.

When is their morale boost going to come alive bayi?!

Na the matter we still dey settle o.

MRTA7:
We were fortunate Fulham lacked discipline. It was not even a controversial red card and pen. Not sure why Marco Silva and Mitrovic went crazy. Fulham completely controlled the match but they lost their head. Even if we had scored that Sancho goal at 1-1 I would still be worried about Fulham.

The team is clearly exhausted. This international break is coming at a good time. Hopefully some injured players will be available after it.

I really like Palhinha. That guy is a top midfielder

I’m not sure we can still blame fatigue for today’s performance. ETH is just not interested in controlling the game, if not why will our midfielders be trying those stupid passes when they can pass among themselves, control the game, and make Fulham chase their shadows? Why exposing our defense and keeper to unnecessary pressure over and over again because you’re trying to find Rashford far away

These guys should talk to themselves. They should not allow this result deceive them. They were useless

I'm not even sure about this top 4 anymore

Are we sure those guys red carded are no more on the pitch? What are playing sef?

The midfield is now all over the place like what we saw against lfc.
