Oasis007:


Stat-wise Bruno is god, but if you want to judge his play with what you're seeing on the Screen, he's not better than Cleverly.

His form has dropped. movement in our attacking third is so poor

Leyqute:
I know. He thinks we blame Fred without tangible evidence. So I had to correct his ‘sarcasm’

Nope.
You ignore 'tangible evidence' from other players and choose to heap everything on Fred

Oasis007:


Isssssshhhhh...... do not touch the anointed one. Heap the Blame on Fred.

Lmao Fred will soon do one mistake and he will be blamed for everything that happens in this match except we win

afrodoc:
I agree with you that he is quite useless.

He should just collect red card and save us the trouble. He's spoiling the team's effort

afrodoc:
Yes o. The fake Brazilian strikes again.

Always passing backwards, can't give vertical passes, can't even pass at all. Na wa o

Leyqute:
Pogba written all over this one Chief. Plus Lindelof. Na wah for you

Lol oh Pogba sef. Should have been Frd

afrodoc:
You sef see am ba?

Fred again!

Oasis007:


Fred shouldn't have missed Pogba's classic pass.

He shouldn't have missed such a simple pass.

See what Fred caused. Smh

BikeMan:
But that's total bullshit, a blanket statement. If you watch football you will clearly see that Maguire is a very useless defender. Will you agree to that?


"If you watch" is something anybody can use to claim that Jorginho is the best midfielder in the world. "If you watch football" is not a tangible reason.

Whatever you bring that the other person doesn't agree with will be bullshit to that person

BikeMan:
Lol, the supposed intelligent one. FYI, none of them gave a reason.

“If you watch football, you should know Luke Shaw” is the best LB in England. Just blanket statements and vibes.

Baba cannot even give a specific reason, bandwagon folly!

The reason in black and white

Roland17:
Boss, so be follow for "Oleout" geng!

Dem dey disguise

BikeMan:
Yoonited, foolish fanbase. Once a player has a temporary patch of form, he becomes the best in England.

This was how we didn't hear word about Firewood at the end of last season, where is he today?

They did the same to Pogba. There was a time Two-Bissaka was the best RB in England. Fvcking scummies!

Was there a time Kaka was the best in the world?

afrodoc:
And how have they looked? What is our defensive record compared to other seasons?

That they are playing high line does not mean they are playing it well or playing consistently.

They're still getting used to it. In the last 10 games or so, the defensive record has been solid

afrodoc:
Also suicidal to play a high line with a defender that turns like an ocean liner. The effectiveness of the high line depends on the pace and organization of the defenders more than anything the midfielders or attackers do.

This is not to say the midfielders and attackers don't affect it, but just not as much as the defenders do. Remember how AVB almost prematurely ended John Terry's career?

Even the quality of the press depends on the quality of the high line. This was one of the corner stones of Arrigo Sacchi's 25m rule. You can't press consistently and effectively when your CBs are always dropping off to make up for their lack of pace.

Funny enough, our CBs have been playing very high this season

CrystalTiger:
I think its suicidal playing highline with them both and honestly I see no adaptation coming any time soon..

God help us if Ole persist with them next season..

It's suicidal to play the highline if midfielders and attackers don't play their roles perfectly.

Illimitable:
It would have been the goal of the season.

Vardy turned an £80m defender into a £8 defender with the way he cancelled Maguire in that action.

It was as if Maguire wasn’t there. It was so painful to see that a United defender could be made to eat artificial grass like that.

Lol when did you start watching ball?

I hope Alabi will follow Ole to Norway when he's sacked o

popizaino:
I had to check to confirm again,you are right .I'm sure pep guardiola was joking Rio was no weak link .

He was definitely joking. Ferdinard was called fagbo for a reason in Nigeria

popizaino:
Were is messi's dangerous from considering his strongest foot?

Tell us who is likely to face him the most between Rio and vidic also considering their positions on the field ?

Messi plays from the right actually. That is Manchester United left which was manned by Vidic back then

Expert17:
I am suspecting it to be Trebor

No trebor called him a clown the other day. Abi he was just cruising with himself ni? Hmm

CapitalCee:
Rooney is better clearly

Lol definitely no argument

CapitalCee:
Bruno is more of Rooney role to be honest. Scholes was a CM while Bruno is an AM. In Fergie's 4-4-2 Bruno will be an SS

Exactly! So Rooney or Bruno, who you going for?

Expert17:
I was expecting Fergie to park bus, but baba was playing Chicharito in 2011.

Mourinho's team would have won at least 1 of those finals.

We don't know that

Expert17:
Scholes rejoined January 2013 and was among our players of the season.

45 years old Scholes wil still shit on our current midfielders.

Honestly

Expert17:
Same way Nani was red-carded against Madrid, we would have won that game.

Fergie got his tactics wrong in those 2 finals (09 and 11).

Nothing could have stopped Barca, only luck

Expert17:
Nice one!

Replace Hargreaves with Scholes.

How he thinks Scholes was supposed to play that Bruno's position is baffling. And Bruno doesn't even have half of Giggs intelligence

CapitalCee:
Bruno is not Scholes level na. Schole is clearly better. Leyqute was like the 2008 scholes is already old and not at his peak

Same Scholes that was brought back in SAF last season? Like 4 years after this same 2008 that you said Scholes was already old?

And they aren't even in competition for same spot. They don't play same position or role

Expert17:
Alabi no sabi football, na just noise.

It's not his fault. His age showed

Expert17:
If Paul Scholes decides to come out of retirement today, he is going to bench all this midfielders we are parading.

All of them at once

Oasis007:



Alabi can't ever disappoint sha. Rashford over Tevez? Bruno over Giggs? You even prefer Pogba to Park..... LMFAO! Same Pogba Sir Alex would rather play ageing Scholes ahead of him?

makes me wonder what exactly Rashford, Bruno and Pogba have done that will make them replace those guys between 2007 and 2009

Leyqute:
LooL.

What I meant was that Bruno has the best chance of getting into the starting lineup out of all the players we currently have.

Having said that, I think you’re viewing Scholes through blue tinted glasses.

In 2008, Scholes was 34 years o. His influence in the team was on the decline already although he does chip in good performances.

Assess him based on the form that he was in at that time, not his whole career.

This Bruno won't get in ahead of Scholes. Scholes was a midfield controller which suited that style we played back then. Most of our attacks were from the wings.
