Na all these simple things. Make season end make we sabi where we stand abeg. Missing five yard passes, losing your man u suppose mark, making wrong decisions for the same situation every game, na position we suppose don pass by now. Yet it keeps reoccurring, makes me wonder if these guys no dey analyze their performance after the game, or if dem no dey do anything for training

If those guys have any shame at all, they should be watching how other teams are doing it

CapitalCee:
Why does the team struggle in the absence of bruno? Why did the team lagushing in midtable suddenly started win immediately he joined. He is taking risks yet he has a hand in almost every goal.

Because AWB, Maguire didn't come in same period. Because Shaw didn't win player of the year recently. Because Rashford has been doing nothing. Because Greenwood has not been rescuing us in some games. Because Cavani has been playing in the female team

Expert17:
If we appoint a new coach, Bruno won't start right


OLE's game play is just to counter attack his opponent at any given instance, that is why those long balls are vital. Long balls can take out 3-4 opposition players at once.




Maybe you need to watch Paul Scholes long balls from Midfield that started our goal scoring moves under Fergie.

Replace McFred with Carrick and Scholes, this Bruno's imaginary problem will disappear

If we replace mcfred with Carrick and Scholes, we'll also replace Bruno with Rooney without thinking about it

nitrogen:
TBH, Fred was shyte in the first half. He was better after that.

If afrodoc2 didn't say Fred played okay in the second half, you would have still been running with your agenda that Fred was the worst player on the pitch.

CapitalCee:
Dont mind them. They should admit their hate and save us these sanctimonious sermon.
Even a defensive Mourinho will never ask Lampard to drop and start controlling midfield where makalele, Essien and Ballack are playing,
you expect Ozil in Madrid to control midfield where Modric, Khedira and Alonso are playing or in Germany when Scheistwiger, Kroos and Khedira are there.

You expect muller to control midfield when Kimich, Goretzker are playing or Gundogan in National team.

Even in a defensive chelsea Havertz is not controlling midfield instead of Kova, Joginho or Kante.

Was Dele Alli controling midfield when Wayama and Erikssen were in Tottenham?

Was Kaka controlling Midfied when Seedorf, Pirlo and Gattuso are playing? Or In brazil when Emerson, Gilberto silva or Zeroberto are playing?

Youri Djorkeaff in France 98 and Euro 2000, was he controlling midfield in the presence of Zidane, Viera and Emmanuel petit?

SNEIDJER at both inter had Cambiasso, T.Motta and Zannetti sometimes, while in holland he had Van Bommel and Nigel di Jong. In 2014 world cup their was Wijnaldum and De jong.

Have you ever seen Totti controlling midfield in Italy or Roma? When De Rossi and perrota or pirlo snd Gattuso for Italy

I can go on and on and on. Anybody expecting Bruno to constantly drop back and orchestrate play when his team havw Fred, Pogba and Mctom is nothing but an agendist or simply a hater or in milder terms doent know what he is saying

Those players were not losing the balls senselessly

afrodoc2:
The balance between Fred and McTominay was better than this. McTominay didn't get a pass because of his goals but because he chipped in with goals while contributing in midfield.

Yesterday his midfield play was obviously lackadaisical and when i checked the stats at half time he had 0,0,0 in most of the defensive stats. He contributed virtually nothing yesterday allowing Fred to be overrun IMO. It is normally a bit more balanced between them but it wasn't yesterday.

P.S Not like Fred had an excellent game cos he also struggled at times with and without the ball and his passing was worse than McTominay's in the first half, however in the 2nd half he put in a shift.

Lol I could have sworn you went to check when nitrogen wanted to drag Fred for not doing anything while Tom was doing everything.

I still blame all the imbalance on Ole. No matter the personnel on the field, I struggle to see what the plan is that doesn't involve Bruno. The energy is just too low for a big team. We can't go anywhere with that

Expert17:
If our midfielders are Carrick and Scholes, we won't have this issue

Drag McFred and leave Bruno alone

What exactly should we drag McFred for in yesterday match?

Trying to fit in Pogba and Bruno in the midfield is affecting our play especially of Pogba is to play LW instead of LCM or CM. He looked lost yesterday.

nitrogen:
I don’t know why these Bruno boys are stubborn. They just wanna focus on stats. As long as he is stat padding, even though it’s affecting the team, we should not bother.

No be juju be that?

melodyogonna:
City marking dey sweet me die. One person go dey ur front but then, the other city players are going to stand in front of all the passing options close to to you. Na so dem no gree Chelsea hold ball yesterday

It's the energy and seriousness for me. At a point there were 5 city players closing down a small area and even if the ball escape there, they'll sprint back to regroup and mark the next area. Our mumu players will spread themselves

Expert17:
What was our situation before he joined the club?

Should we go back to Lingard and Mata?

How many games have you won without him since he joined?

Why can't we tailor our game to favour Fred, Pogba or Cavani? Why Bruno?

Yes let's go back to Lingard and Mata.

Ask Ole why. He is the tailor. Since he's the one doing this tailoring you're proud of, I don't want to hear you say anything against Ole o

afrodoc2:
But you are not trying to drag him?

How many of those balls did GhostTominay win back?

I've always made an argument for Fred about this. He always does more than his partner, almost every time but you do give Tom the pass because he pops up with the occasional goals. Meanwhile the midfield is struggling and should never be so

Expert17:
And the same player has bn involved in more than 60% of our goals since he joined

Because the team is tailored for him at the expense of better dominating football

afrodoc2:
Bruno has had his shyte days but yesterday is the wrong day to try to drag him. Many are just using the penalty miss to further their agenda ( i don't know if you are one of them). He was probably our best player but somehow you are now telling us that he is the reason for McFred's struggles.

Yesterday i actually pitied Fred. He was poor in the first half but grew into the game and watching him cover for McTom was painful to see. I believe McTom is not match fit but Amaka has rushed him back from his surgery because he doesn't trust Matic or VDB.

Meanwhile i noticed nobody has really mentioned CR7 standing like an Okorocha statue for most of the match.

A solid DM will still face this and it won't be pretty though much better than what Fred can offer. We still won't win anything with such behavior in the team if we have players that are not playing at close to full capacity and babysitted

Many times we won the ball back and lost it immediately because someone is throwing a long pass for Ronaldo or greenwood to run to. How is that fair please?

Expert17:
Check his statistics.

I'm not dragging Bruno, I'm dragging the person that wants Bruno to stop creating and start dragging space with the strikers

As at 50+ minutes we were already playing long balls for our attackers to run to. We were not even leading as at that time. O ma se o

afrodoc2:
That one is just looking for who to drag. Bruno had 10 key passes yesterday.

It’s not a typo. He had TEN key passes. He also gave 3 accurate through balls, rest of the team 1.

LMAO I'm addressing a particular comment. Should Bruno create chances or be at the end of the chances? I never called out Bruno until I saw that comment asking Bruno to be the one getting in the boxes instead of creating the chances when we have Cavani, Greenwood, Ronaldo in the same team. But everything is drag for you

Sniper4real:
And did he not create chances yesterday?

You don't know what you're talking about. How do you want Bruno to create the chances and be the one at the end of the chances? He can't do both and that's the point. Which do you want him to do? Create chances or be at the end of the chances?

How a big team can depend on long balls against small teams weak me. What kind of coach is this? The team becomes very slow if it's not counter. They just want to play counter against fuvking Villa. And some people were delusional thinking we will be scoring goals for fun because Ronaldo is here. Without a fvcking game plan and tactics that clearly shows you're the bigger team with multiple world class players? Unfortunately there are still many people wey e never clear for their eyes. God punish you

Oasis007:
Greenwood played rubbish all through today. Not just him Mctom also was completely a Dùnce, but I've got just one Eediot to blame..... OGS!

I've never seen a donkey as him before. That Twát is dull and fuckin has no balls. You wanna satisfy Pogba to renew or what?

Morón has ran down Shaw and Maguire now, I guess he's happy?! Tóad even played AWB, when he knew the Dude is only better at clearing Cobwebs.

I don't really expect him to be in the Dugout after Villareal Match, cos we are likely to lose at home 3 times consecutively in 3 different Competitions.

Oasis this isn't complete o. I don't see any Fred hate in this your comment. Try modify am.

Warm Regards

Sniper4real:
We all said Bruno should not join attack most times again. And I think he's playing more in the middle now than b4. But you know what? We ain't scoring like when he joins the attack.

Bruno sabi score oh. Let him join attack in peace.

So Bruno can't control the midfield and create quality chances? Okay got it. Now we need a midfielder that can do that. Bruno can go and be dragging game with greenwood and Ronaldo

Mrviktor:
I don't think it's there horrible tho

Until you realize that we've not played one single top team this season while others have played at least one or two

After watching the way we were looking to break with long balls early into the second half, I gave up. We're supposed to be the better team ffs. This man will finish this team

CapitalCee:
I am surprised people are calling Fred. Pogba and Mctominay were dog shi t today.

Lmao nitro and oasis that just like picking on Fred for no reason

WTF are we playing for crying out loud?

nitrogen:
You want me to go fetch stats to help you defend your player? Shuuuuuuu. McTom has been better today abeg.

The stats is supposed to help your case na. No lie, watin you see fear you abi?

CapitalCee:
Because na pogba everyone is silent the guy has been playing nonsense since that UCL game. On and off merchant.

We know them.

Nitrogen do you know that the only players Tom has more passes than is Dalot that just entered, greenwood and Ronaldo?

nitrogen:
Lol, check the stats na. Meanwhile, Fred is a DM on the pitch, has he done his job today? McTom has been better than him today.

Bring the defensive stats for Fred and Tom please. I dey wait you

nitrogen:
Lol, Pogba and Bruno have created the few chances we’ve got today. Tell what me what Fred has done today.

Which chances did you see here? No join Bruno to the nonsense Pogba is playing here abeg.

The problem with you is expecting Fred to create chances. Na ment?

Nitrogen can you write your essay on what Pogba is doing in this match?
