Very poor decision making today from our midfielders and attackers.

ETH suppose punish these players

Today's game is so shaky. If only Sancho's not useless

Lana1:
I swear.

At leaast we are now seeing an increase in crosses in recent weeks. I'll take that. All our goals on Thursday were from crosses. They should keep it up and we'll score more in the 2nd half

We need that second goal asap

Leyqute:
We’ve always had poor crossers and poor headers.

If not for Ronaldo and Eriksen’s influence, we might not have scored that goal.

They need to practice some crossing. We have Ronaldo, Rashford and Bruno arriving in the box

And Ronaldo can fvck off

Where can we sign to ban Elanga from the right wing at least

Lana1:
We should be crossing more against low block teams. It's the surest way of unlocking defences.

I don’t know why crossing is always their last resort. It should be right there on the table

Goal ball

I’m just tired of all these careless passes

That 360 was very unnecessary. Anthony needs to start leaving his markers behind and be less predictable. It would have made sense if the 360 helps him beat one or two defenders but it doesn't.

Crosses across the post are very dangerous and he should start attempting that with his right foot. He can also cut back and shoot or float crosses with his left. He needs to start doing both so we have more threats on both wings

patrickmuf:
How did he fare as a RB?

Cc: eph12

There wasn't anything to notice. We attacked more from the left

patrickmuf:
I didn't watch the game but from the highlights, Malacia started abd was later replaced by Shaw, I hope he did not injure himself?

Also, I notice how we now mostly cut back for those at edge of the box to shoot...We had many opportunities with the cut back. I hope the players improve their shooting...

Garnacho looked like everything we expect from Sancho...The drive and skills to take on and beat defenders is enough to open up spaces for others...Garnacho should see more game time...

Malacia wasn't replaced

Eriksen should push up more, and allow Lindelof or Martinez push higher.

Karleb:
Kane for 50m? Tell me another joke.

I read he has just 1 year left on his contract. Either that or they allow him to run down his contract

Kane's link up play is top notch. He'll do well with Bruno. I'll go for him if price is 50m or less

odizeey:
Sometimes some people take fanticism to another level. Original Ronaldo dropped his GOAT list and excluded CR7. Some fans don dey cry since dey curse am.

Una think say Ronaldo fans here are going overboard? Go see twitter own.

That's why I don't take those ones seriously.

Naso I dey gathering of some football fans. We talk about Sancho. I said he has been poor. Them con dey say I no sabi ball. Say na our best attacker. E come be like say I no dey watch TV well. After our game with Totenham, one of them had to repeat what I told them about Scamcho.

In as much as we dey tackle ourselves here, I cherish Nairaland sports section. Very grounded people here when it comes to football. Different takes but mostly intelligent.

That been said, Ororo will bounce back. Stronger and better.

Original Ronaldo? Lol ok

We have a light squad and it showed yesterday. Between the next two transfer windows, we should get a RB, CM, striker, LW and AM. We could get some from the junior team, and we may be fine

TrebleChamp:
It was expected, maybe he would have looked average under Ole and Rangnick last season..

He had some shaky moments at the beginning of the season. Thankfully those shaky moments are far gone and baba has caught up with the pace of the team and the league

I'm really happy for Casemiro. He has become a very important player for us

We wasted our corner kicks. I'm not sure I understand what they were trying to do.

We need to invest more in attackers this January

kozmicity:
It didn't work oo bro. Bruno had to come back there.

Eriksen lost his leg. Match swallow am finish from 60 minutes sef

TrebleChamp:
See Eph

Watin na

Expert17:
With Bruno as CF, our creativity will reduce.

Erikson moves up. I believe we should be able to manage. But then it's fine this way

I would even prefer Rashford goes left and Bruno strike. Ginger dey Bruno body to allow him run everywhere

Rashford in that leg wing will be a lot of trouble for Chelsea. We need a striker

Most of the time, it's almost like Anthony and Dalot don't understand each other

TeslaFC:
This is actually what some of us have already clamored for here, but then they remembered he is a vital asset lmao

My brother the thing tire me

Expert17:
We are not canceling any contract, we are going to pay him his 500k and also use him as a scapegoat. ETH is passing an important message, nobody is bigger than the club.

Who's the we you're referring to here? Definitely sir Alex Ferguson is not part of this we

Ellexy:
Did anyone force him to stay?

Did anyone force him to go?

Ellexy:
So you think the club will just be paying him for his misbehavior and there won't be financial consequences lol. So any player can misbehave and it doesn't matter as long as he's receiving his full salary.

You have the details of his contract?

Any other player misbehaving would have been moved on
