Why is our tempo very slow? Our press is just too slow. Nothing good can come out of playing like this

Fred again. Fraud!

Just now, only Fred was trying to receive a pass from the back. Where is everyone?

hoopLA:
It is not in your best interest to agend this one so everyone is to blame.
Convenient logic up there,Ephesus.
Even when your darling can't do the basic,like pass properly

Shey una bin dey yab us about complaining about him being like a locomotive.

My agenda is simple. I focus on how we play and look at the details. I'm not interested in the personnels

Leyqute:
LooL. Okay.

Some mistakes can be defended against. Some, you can do nothing about.

Maybe you should think about that.

And when those at the front don't help to press, mistakes will happen at the back. When the team can't make themselves available to receive passes, fatal mistakes will happen. City is very good because they rarely make mistakes up front. It's either the ball goes out of play or they press with sense to win the ball back. When they're unable to do this, the defense panics and their own mistakes becomes more fatal because they play closer to their goal. It's just the way football works

Leyqute:
Agreed. All of those are mistakes but they are not as fatal as Fred’s own. And they can be defended.

I don’t know what else to say for you to come to terms with how horrible Fred’s mistake is.

Fred gave a direct pass to an opponent with the keeper left to beat. It doesn’t get worse than that.

I'm sorry I'm not interested in looking for scapegoats when whole team can't do anything with the ball or without the ball as a team

adebayo201:
We are also concerned about the player who made the mistake and avoid the build up to it.

Fred might be the culprit in the goal but the captain knows that he's vulnerable to mistakes at the moment.

Generally before the goal, we have been awful. Misplaced passes and wrong positioning. At a time, I'm confused about the midfielders and where each is playing.

It's unfortunate that people will rather avoid this and blame one person instead. What were we playing before the goal? How did we get there? Nobody's interested in the details

Leyqute:
In his own 18 yard box? Did he pass to an opponent? Give details please. The devil’s always in the details.

It doesn't have to be in the box to be dangerous. We have watched football for too long to know better than this

chidexxy007:
True but still it doesn't absolve Fred of the blame for that goal.

Did u see his next pass after then? Terrible midfielder.

I'm not justifying or absolving Fred. Mistakes happen, we move on. If it's Fred, you dwell on it. Pogba had been losing balls in that midfield because he was holding on to the ball too long. VDB is invisible and can't press. All these contributes to how we play. Mistakes will definitely happen, but we move on. That's football. You can't move on because the team is playing poorly and you must single out one person.

weedtaker:
do we even have a pattern to begin with? OGS should just respect himself and play his defend and counter jeje, telling the players to play out from the back like say we sabi lol.. kolo the disguise.

That's why we have Fred making 90+ passes and McTom making just 60+. Fred tries to make himself available, what are others doing?

Leyqute:
No. You don’t get it.

A wrong pass up the pitch has less chances of leading to a goal than a wrong pass inside your own 18 yard box.

Fred gave an assist to Kele today. It is way different from losing the ball in midfield and much much more dangerous.

That Bruno's pass wasn't up the pitch. It was a very dangerous ball. He literally gave the ball away in a dangerous position. Fortunately, it didn't lead to a goal

We're not having joy in the midfield despite having 4 players there and this is affecting our attacking play. Something that's consistent with our matches the past couple of weeks

handelex:
Fred made himself available for the pass, Maguire made the pass, Fred took a touch, steadied himself and passed rubbish.

How’s that on Maguire?

If we have enough players making themselves available for passes from back, our game will be much better.

Expert17:
If you want to defend Fred, look for better lines and excuses, not this

See above

Leyqute:
If Fred hadn’t underpassed we won’t be having this discussion. So forget

You know how many underpass happens per second in our matches?

Leyqute:
How is that the same thing as passing to an opponent inside your own 18 yard box?

That wrong pass could have led to a goal. But I get you sha, it didn't lead to a goal so Bruno great player for that error, Fred fraud for his own error

nitrogen:
Any player can make mistakes though, Pogba, Bruno etc have lost possession in the past, with dire consequences.

Fred is not a bad player abeg.

Was it not Pogba that caused two penalties recently for no reason? Fred should just cause penalty and score own goals make we rest

Leyqute:
Fred should stop making those silly mistakes. He made one huge mistake that could’ve led to a goal before this one that eventually did.

This is on Fred. 100%

Bruno made a pass that some other players had to burst their lungs to recover last match. Here was silent.

In fact I'll prefer Fred scores an own goal or cause penalty so that the lamentations can be justified. Meanwhile Pogba has been losing possessions for holding the ball too much while VDB has been anonymous in that midfield

Good. Ole should bench Fred

adebayo201:
I do pity him sha. Fred this, Fred that. Haba. Hopefully, he won't be the scapegoat today but I doubt that. But nah Pastor nah.

Unfortunately this match won't pass without people putting all the blame on him.

adebayo201:


And start who?? You sha want make them no put the sin of the team on Pastor Fred.

See ehn I'm tired. He is currently the scapegoat and it's not funny. He should start Tom and leave Fred alone

Ole should have placed Fred on the bench

afrodoc2:
Most people backed Woodward on that. It was a bad deal. Same with the Sancho deal. The days of desperation are over cos all it does is make the next club/agent try to fleece us as well.

Maybe most people did. However we had people with a bucket list of excuses for Ole. One of those excuses was Regulion

TrebleChamp:
The same Europe Olesexuals labelled as rubbish, just to defend their MCM. One of them even said that coming 4th and qualifying for UCL was better than winning EL, nothing Olesexuals no go talk here to defend that man....

Lol I no just get strength

timay:
Yea, I remember. But I won't blame Woodward for that deal sha. It was a bad one.
Even under normal circumstances, Daniel Levy of Tottenham won't have done that deal too. But the man wanted to satisfy Mourinho to avoid complain. Now my guy don dey complain again

Of course. But according to some people, since Woodward already paid too high for Maguire, he shouldn't back down now

Leyqute:
Me I no even send d Yuropa league. Na league title and UCL be the koko.

The kind of TW we have will determine if we’re going to be capable to compete for those 2 next season.

Looking for to the TW too. But if we're being serious, we wouldn't wait till then to close some deals though

timay:
But Mou got his transfer targets at spurs now. Why is he complaining again. I remember that Spurs had to unwillingly agree to Madrid's buy back clause on reguilon just to satisfy Mou and to prevent Man utd from getting him. Yet Mou is still complaining.

Well , I doubt it's true that it's complaining sha. I remember him saying that he has a better squad at Tottenham than at Man utd, and rightly so

I remember when Regulion came in and Woodward received plenty insults for missing on Regulion. Lmao. My guy would have been sat on the bench with gorilla glue

That people are already dreaming of winning the Europa league lol

handelex:
We can go on and on and on, Fred will still be an activity forming midfielder with average at best quality on the ball

You no know ball finally

handelex:
Because he gives shit passes, lacks proper ball control and loses the ball in dangerous places

Because of 2 or 3 bad passes? Which almost the whole team does more than him sef?

handelex:
Fred and best passing in the same sentence.

Don’t push it bro.

Bring the passing stats
