What happened to City still looks like a dream.

The players must have woken up wondering what happened. I really feel for them. Being 2 goals up and just 6 minutes to go but still lost

A new set of midfield, alongside the fb are a must going into the new season. This is a very important foundation the new coach needs to lay. If Rashford first instinct remains to run, then he has no place in the first team

ChristoBam:
Literally ignored last 3 mentions but I wan have last word. Let me guess, Ronaldo is your goat and you've been triggered all afternoon. Rest.

LMAO

ChristoBam:
Lol focusing on the City Madrid match. Could have sworn I saw any not many.

Because you just wan argue na. I get it that having the last words on these streets is super important to some of us

It was obvious to those who cared beyond agenda last season and early this season that it was only a matter of time before everything come crashing down. We were headed down this path a long time ago

ChristoBam:
We didn't win at Eithiad?

“We didn’t win many of those games”

ChristineC:
the metric is the same for every profiled player.
if your point is that there inconsistencies, then it's across board.
however that stat gets refined, the people at the upper spectrum will still be there or thereabouts.
Bruno has been the most creative midfielder (player) in EPL since he landed in the league. I believe he's in top three for overall productivity alongside Salah and Kane in i-don't-know order.
this is just facts.

Christine let's be sincere here. We watched Bruno and KDB play this season. Can we honestly say these two have created the same quality chances?

patrickmuf:
You mean our strikers have failed to convert 72 goal scoring chances from Bruno alone? I must have been watching a different Manchester United...

I won't be surprised if they say Bruno created 10 chances in this game

patrickmuf:
We have to take a closer look at chances created...You mean he created 86 chances and has only 14 assist? That means 72 of the 86 chances he created were not converted...

This chance creation, na every ball wey person play enter box?

Those kind of stats that the more you look, the less you see

Oasis007:


To be honest, Bruno is better off as a SS. Mata played far better than him as a No. 10. Bruno should rather be playing as a SS or LMF.

Well we already agreed he's a striker last season lol

Ellexy:
True, the difference was like night and day. Oh how we need a young Mata and Matic....

Yup we do. A DM and AM are a must

Mata just showed us that Bruno as our attacking midfielder is a joke. He's better off a striker or ss

Leyqute:
100m on a striker when there are gaping holes in midfield lol

We really need some new faces in our fb and cm positions. If I were in charge, those would be my main focus for this transfer window. A solid midfield, that can protect the ball better and play intelligently, combined with 2 very good fb can do us a lot of good

LostMyZeal:
More of this black energy we pray

100m for one player? In a team that needs a lot of players at the moment? Hmm

Can McTom just try not to hold on to the ball too much

afrodoc2:
ETH don enter one chance if he doesn't get proper support in the transfer market.

Telles is incredibly poor and Dalot is only marginally better. AWB is not a footballer and Shaw does not want to be a footballer. No dependable full back in the club yet the midfield is potentially worse.

Everything is currently bad. There’s no shortcut here, money has to be spent for almost all positions

TrebleChamp:
Lobatan, na McFred for life be this ooh.

Isn’t it obvious?

Some people just never get tired. The only issue I'm seeing here is that the majority of the players and the coach are the worst match you can find out there. None is ready to meet the other even halfway so let's just be done with this season

ItisHi:
It cannot be a coincidence that as soon as Ronaldo joined Manchester United they went from being one of the top 2 teams in England to struggling to qualify for even conference league.

He is the problem, the sooner people realize it the better.

It cannot be a coincidence that your knowledge of football is very poor. Do better

raumdeuter:
If they are playing rubbish then its the tactics that is wrong. These players were playing well at some point in their career before you bought them, Some still play well immediately they go for international break

So why will they suddenly lose fighting spirit when they step int Old Trafford

I don't see them play together as a unit for the same country. Playing with others can rub off on them but together as a unit, won't work.

True, Rangnick tactics is wrong because these players can never play his style, and he probably won't or doesn't know another style. If I'm to choose between his style and those players, I know what I'd choose

raumdeuter:
What brings fighting spirit if not tactics? Will you say Ronaldo Bruno McTominay Fred lack fighting spirit? Is it until players bite opponent before they have fighting spirit? The tactics are uncoordinated

From one bad coach to another from Mourinho to Ole to Rauf

You have the whole defenders playing rubbish, and you're mentioning these 4? 4 out of 10 on the field, let's assume all 4 are playing as they should.

BARAJ92:
Are we better now, a per game contract would have been best. Ragnick has not perform more than Ole or Carrick.
Zidane and Pep were given opportunity and they maximize it. You never can tell which coach will be a success or a failure.

The point is a more experienced coach was needed to reveal the rottenness in the team. Carrick may paper the cracks, but then the board will be less inclined to take some drastic actions. From experience, a couple of months later, everything will explode and probably be worse. I rather that happened now

BARAJ92:
Leaving Carrick would have been the best option, A coach doesn't need experience to be successful, you don't chance a winning coach.

Like Ole was left. Yet we're worse

TrebleChamp:
His taktiks isn't working, Chelshit was bad under Lampard until Tuchel happened. He started Jones ahead of Bailey yesterday, keeps playing Maguire that has been completely shit every game. Started 3 sluggish defenders and too sluggish midfielders against Liverpool with a Pacy Sallah and Mane, this na little details a good coach should know. Can you honest say Rafiu would have won against Assnal, drew Chelshit and won against Villareal to take us through to CL knock out stage like Carrick did?

To achieve what? I prefer it this way if we intend to become much better. Pull it down and rebuild abeg. No painting on spoilt, decayed woods

Oasis007:


Rangnick: "I don't think a different formation at the start would have changed anything. The first goal we conceded, it was not part of the game plan to be that high up and concede a counter-attack after five minutes."


Cc nitrogen, eph12, Leyqute

I've watched these guys in the past few games. They just want the season to end. They don't want to play anymore. That's why I wonder what rubbish top 4 people are clamoring for when we should actually begin the rebuild right now.

Gann:
when they still have a chance to make the ucl?

They're not just interested in doing the extra

nitrogen:
People still quote this guy? A failure that can only run his mouth on TV.

I'm telling you those players have downed tools,

nitrogen:
Eph, First leg that the players were ‘interested’, wetin dem chop?

I don't understand your point here. Are you trying to say the players are bad and are always chopping?

Leyqute:
The 1-2 is working because two of our players are immediately closing down a ball receiver who they can’t stop. And the people marking the guy who started the 1-2 are not smart enough to stop him from moving past them.

No be everything be coach problem.

The players are not smart enough and not willing to exert energy to get back in shape at all

nitrogen:
Why should two players close down a marker? Who gave them that instruction? What kinda playing style is that?

One pass like this, we are in deep shyte!

What are you talking about? 2-3 players close down players everyday

nitrogen:
I disagree that the players have downed tools. This is a coaching issue, agree, some of the players are shyte, but this style of play is unacceptable. Also, confidence is low because the grandfather of Ghenghen pressing is almost useless.

Why is it that just 1-2 passes is messing up our midfield and defence?

Grandson Klopp is playing with Grandfather Rauf’s privates.

I'm not interested in trolling anybody. Matic is the only DM/CM we have in this match and he is not even good enough. Pogba has intentionally gotten himself subbed off. The players may not be shyte, but they don't want to be in this game.

nitrogen:
TBH, this is not a well coached side. We are playing 3-4-3 and we still opened yansh yakata. It does not make sense.

What I see here is a bunch of players that have downed tools. At this point, nobody can correct anything with the midfielders and defenders we have. Then the attackers are not being aggressive enough too
