FWIW, Matic was the one who was beaten by a 1-2 pass in midfield that created the space for Tielemans to hit a powerful shot into the net after we’ve drawn level with Leicester (1-1) following Fred’s assist to Kelechi earlier on.

We need quality competition in many places. But the coach is at fault. So. Okay.

Even against Wolves, he slipped and allowed through on goal. Not sure if that was what led to their equalizer

patrickmuf:
McTominay might not been been responsible for their goal but that guy is bang average, I counted more than 4-5 times he should have passed the ball but he rather runs with the ball close to the player he intends to pass to because he doesn't trust his passing...

That's a team problem. most other players had this same experience

Expert17:
We have/had issues with OLE.

A fvcking super sub during his playing days but hate using his bench

I agree here. I don't what he was thinking. Emery made his subs and his players came at us in the last 30 minutes or so. Ole had no answer

nitrogen:
Maybe he made a mistake. OGS has spent 300m on this team. He bought the players on the bench, why is he not using them? I would not subscribe to saying we don’t have players, does not make sense.

This team can win something tangible, we need one or two additions to compete for the EPL and UCL. Simple!

Yeah I agree with this assessment. We have a very good team that is running on vibes. Nobody can convince me otherwise

nitrogen:
Eph, you are an hypocrite. Please tell me the improvement you’ve seen in our pattern of play and the trophies we’ve won. We all lambasted Mou for not doing well with our playing pattern and suggested that he use the resources available to him.

Now you are defending Ole for doing the same things we castigated Mou for because he is a club legend.

You are very unfair and unreasonable. Quite unfortunate that another brother has become an olesexual convert.

Enjoy your new found religion and love.

Oleout!

LMAO
If Patrick is going to insist that we don't have players to compete next season which means we didn't have players to compete this season, then I'm going to insist that our coach tried with what he achieved this season

We were never in danger of conceding goal until the last 10 minutes and the extra time. We had issues with the attack and not the DM

patrickmuf:
Fred wasn't fot to start from reports...Thus the best option for a lone DM was and is Matic...

We didn't have problem with the DM na. Abi is it not this last final we're talking about here? What was Matic supposed to do that didn't happen? Abi na DM go create and score goals?

patrickmuf:
Eph12, this is not the time to be sarcastic, you might be hit by an ICBM armed with a nuclear warhead...Come out plain, we #TeamOleOut are not smiling, we are ready to shoot that any plane flying a banner of support for the Scandinavian fraud...

Na why I came after you. You have been too emotional with your posts. In fact you have made it seem we're in a hopeless situation. This one is shit, that one is bad. At this rate, you want us to change everybody. You go soon begin suggest they change some fans

patrickmuf:
How did we lose?

Maguire was out injured, why? He has been overplayed...

Rashford was over used this season and it took a toll on him...

Sevilla are not a pacy side, why not start Matic knowing fully well that McTominay and Fred need each other to effectively function?

Why did we have players on the bench? Do you think VDB is that bad? Even Mata could have fared we considering the pace of the game...

Diallo?

Has James ever looked as bad as Rashford was that night?

You just like to be the lone man on the other side in an any discourse, I know people like you so I can understand...

We could have started Matic, lost the midfield and still blame Ole for not doing the opposite

Leyqute:
Eph12 are you for real?

No. seriously? No trophy?

I'm not sure what you read there. In fact I do go back to read what you people are quoting to be sure I said what you're saying I said

Leyqute:
You. Bloody. Olesexual

Come again?!?

Expert17:
Because it is not Poch, Bielsa and Mourinho



Make we dey whine ourself na

We go dey alright las las

patrickmuf:
That's Leicester City, they are not in our class, normally, a Leicester fab should be more than satisfied with a 5th place finish, they're seriously punching above their weight...

You think if Brendan Rodgers was coach of Chelsea he'll be their manager as we type now?

You have a penchant for comparing apples and oranges...We spend more on transfer fees and wages, have better facilities at Carrington yet your benchmark when talking about Manchester United is Arsenal and Leicester...My God, wetin I dey read for here!

Even top coaches that won the league are sacked the next season at Chelsea. They sack for any reason.

You talked about how the mentality can only be developed by winning trophies, meanwhile Klopp and lfc went from losing finals to becoming European and league champions. They lost a final o, but they won the next season. Mr trophy in the mud

Expert17:
What has he done or won as a coach before joining?

People dey claim victim, you dey mention OLE

Na to begin teach sarcasm for here now o

patrickmuf:
I guess City going after Grealish means Foden, Sterling, KDB and the rest are bad...Una go misrepresent person argument start to argue against wetin you understand even if your inability to comprehend a straight forward post is questionable...

I didn't see them destroying their players like you do because they are going after some new ones. It just means that in the nearest future, if anyone is taking time to adjust for whatever reason, you start to destroy them too

Expert17:
So we should lose finals/important games.

No. You just won't catch me lamenting over it. We have lost finals and we will lose more. No big deal there. It's how we lost that matters to me

patrickmuf:
Don't tell me you did not notice what winning the EPL did for Leicester City, since then, have they remained the same?

I already knew you'll come here with the Arsenal line of defense, one Ole brought forth some weeks ago in a bid to mask his failures so, I ask, what of Atletico and all the other examples of teams who kicked on after winning a trophy or two? The Arsenal example doesn't hold water, not at all...

Even Brendan Rogers the bottler? Wawu. Won the FA cup but lost the matches that will send him to the champions league. Nice own goal

Leyqute:
And a fresh clamour for Bailly to start games.

I had arguments at the bar about James being better then Rashford for that EL final. Bring on Dan James and Mata and we’d have scored 5 goals, they said.

Anybody not playing is always better. Can you imagine same James people love to curse and troll

Expert17:
No need to sack OLE, we are progressing.

Exactly! All the players are garbage, Ole dey try. he is the victim here

Expert17:


@ bolded ....strikes a chord

many chords actually. this season you're celebrating a trophy, next season you are struggling to enter top 6. That's not what I want to see for this team, maybe some just want to shout up ManU

patrickmuf:
Are you okay with Wan-Bissaka playing all the games?

Do you trust Lindelof who is slow and shaky? Bailly is fine but he is mostly reported injured even though he thinks otherwise...

Your Fred and his partner are shit and should be squad players...

Na today we start to talk about RW?

With Cavani staying we don't really need to go all out for a striker unless we have a chance to sign any of Haaland or Mbappe...

Who has mentioned CM? Didn't you see that my mention of Koke is subject to Pogba?

You go just quote person out of context and I know why, na Fred dey make your body shake...

That's why I said Ole has tried. The team is shit, you're right

patrickmuf:
You just dey find argument if not, I don't know what's too difficult in understanding that we had the team (starting 11 + bench) to beat Villarreal if only made the right subs and pushed for the winner rather than banking on penalties...

And what exactly do you mean by "building a winning mentality is important than any trophy" This one na talk? Do you know what title wins does to the mentality of players?

Atalanta and Milan will beat Juventus in the league but when it comes to a final, they'll crumble...You don't think Juventus players are more used to the big nights and are more relaxed?

Bilbao will beat Barcelona in the league but crumble in the Copa Del Rey final.

You are talking of winning mentality and you conveniently think trophies are not key...I weak for your argument.

Where I disagree with you is the state if this team.

I see how winning the FA cup last season was important to their winning mentality. No wonder they didn't collapse this season

patrickmuf:
You didn't understand that post...

I was looking ahead to next season with that post where I assessed our options and alternatives...

As it stands now, we need a RB, CB, DM, CM, RW, ST plus new coach to compete next season right? We go dey alright

Maguire is shit was the sound track. My guy went on injury and they started to miss him, telling us how we wouldn't have conceded all those goals if he was there. Let him return now, na another lamentation go follow am

hoopLA:
Read my post well sir.
I clearly stated that the side we put out on Wednesday was good enough to beat Villareal.
Your man bungled it.

But patrick my guy has been telling us how we don't have players

patrickmuf:
Sometimes, you ask very funny questions, from the post you quoted, isn't it obvious he is saying we have a team good enough to beat Villarreal but Ole messed up?

So we have a good team to win the EL? After you saying all the players are bad? I don confuse sef. Well no need

patrickmuf:
You don't get the point obviously...

Our team is not good enough to compete on all fronts and against the very best as we are lacking in some positions and in others, we do not have sufficient cover that's generally accepted here but the starting 11 and bench for that UEL final was good enough to trounce Villarreal unless you want to argue otherwise...

We do need a fast and reliable CB doesn't mean Lindelof and Bailly are pants, Laporte and Ake are not Pants but City still have Stones and Dias and that's why an injury to any of them is not glaring when you watch City...

Wan-Bissaka is limited going forward and most times, we face teams that sit back, having a more attacking option is to our favor...

McFred are both limited on the ball, watch Rodri and Fernandinho and you'd see the gulf in class and technical abilities...McFred can be squad players, I'd have no qualms with that...

Pogba for all his abilities remains a big issue, he isn't discipline enough to play in a pivot so, why not get a player who is more suited for that role like Koke or anyone? If Pogba stays, we then have to get a very competent DM...

RW has always been an issue, Greenwood is a ST and should play there and not be tossed around like Rashford who looked lost out on the left a position where he used to do so much damage...Maybe the return of Martial will see him step up...

I hope you get my point sha.

We don't need to compete on all fronts at the moment. We crawl, walk, run then fly. Building the mentality is very important at this time than any trophy if not we can win a trophy this season and collapse next season.

We have these many problems and we did more than many other teams in the league, got to the FA semi final, got to EL final. Ole has tried with the garbage and limitations he has to work with

hoopLA:
Bro ephesus
That Villareal team wasn't better than a championship side.
They were SCARED of United and didn't even try to counter attack us.
As useless and stupįd as most of that team.is individually, they really had no business allowing that game to go past regulation.

So which is it? The players are not good enough or the coach is not good enough to go past Villareal? Or both?

patrickmuf:
What exactly do you mean?

We can't complain about the all the players and question the coach in the same breadth. Apparently he has done ok since the players he has to work with are not good enough

patrickmuf:
Seriously, Expert17 is letting his hate for DDG becloud his reasoning...I don't get why we have to blame anyone but the manager who saw us playing rubbish yet refused to make substitutions...It's shocking the way Ole managed the game. He has proved time without number that he falls short when it matters most

Are you not the same person that listed all the players and how they are not good enough?
