You no dey blame player but we know how you dey always blame manager for here when na players dey obviously fück up so no dey disguise.

You sure say na me? When was that?

olabode89:
Immediately they survived relegation there was no way Villa would have sold him for 50M. Football is business, why sell a player for 50M when he can help you survive relegation so you can earn a guaranteed 100M??

Guaranteed 100m? Unless outside England, I'm curious about which club will be mad enough to drop that

patrickmuf:
He has raised his game to new heights and he is also benefitting from playing with better players like Watkins, Traore, Barkley etc...Another key for them is McGinn playing deeper in midfield, his passing ability is top notch...

The big question is whether he'll reproduce same form playing in a high pressure environment...

How solid has McGinn been this season in that defensive role? Won't he be a more significant addition than Grealish? Our major challenges this season is scoring goals and keeping a tight defense. Grealish looks like a creator, not a finisher which is what we need most. We don't have problem creating chances

Pogba's performance has gone up a notch in the last one month. Looks like this rotation is doing him some great good

Lana1:
Ok then. You sef no complain if na Ole fück up

I hardly complain about any player here. I did that in the past but I have learned to ignore some excesses and look at the overall performance. But let Fred miss a pass or some other player they have sworn never to see any good or the role they play in the team do something, we know those that will be up in arms immediately.

melodyogonna:
Lmao, it's hard to be constructive when you attack players at every opportunity especially when the team is not playing. Take Trevor's agenda against Bruno for example

Exactly what I'm talking about. It goes round

melodyogonna:
Yeah lol, but we really suffered under Perraira, who's alternative was Lingard dfkm

I'm happy that we have people stepping up when he's not delivering until he turns up with an assist or goal

melodyogonna:
I'm all for constructive criticism, not selective hate for some and selective amnesia for others.

Tbh what you call constructive criticism is not holding everyone to the same standards

Lana1:
If the player makes an error, who should we blame before?

We should trust the process and excuse the errors.

KingAlabi:
Rashford is a cut and shot kind of guy

How will he do that with his left?

He did that against Wolves. He does not need to gum the right side. He can drift slightly inwards to receive the ball. He's a brilliant chap and with the right guidance, adapt to a high level of expectations

But on a more serious note, Bruno gets too many praises lol.

melodyogonna:
Good morning. Quick reminder to always support your manager and your team.

Today is January 2nd which means Ole has yet survived another December, damn!! December this year then perhaps?

I hope you won't be calling out any player when the team hits rough patch o? Because most of those that want to take responsibilities off the manager are quick to call out players over errors

sokeril:
don't be deceived by the scoreline..their goal keeper was the one who made the game close with those saves....united deserved the win..another day this comfortably ends 3-1 or 4-1

I watched the first half before I slept off. The game was too close and that's because we were turning the ball over easily.

Our quick play makes for great counter and looking more likely that out team is set up this way against any decent team. But poor decisions kill most of the counters even before they become threatening and it's frustrating to watch. It's almost like we turn over the ball easily and then put pressure on our defenders to win the ball back because our attackers hardly ever win any ball back or apply any decent pressure

SyIvalord:
We get 13 points, we top the league

Not if we don't beat lfc and they don't lose any of their matches too

olabode89:
Lol... I like your confidence!!!

All very winnable matches. I can't wait o

olabode89:
Our other EPL games this month are tough o

Burnley A. 12/1

Liverpool. A. 17/1

Fulham. A. 20/1

Sheffield. Utd. H. 27/1

Assanal A. 30/1


10 to 12 pts should be the minimum target.

Lol what's tough here na?

KingAlabi:
Won't we be playing rashford out of position again ?

He would be making the runs into the box from the right

afrodoc2:
I am a convert. If Pogba goes buy Grealish.

Maybe Pogba should just go and Grealish in

sod09:
I'm talking about him joining you in Carling cup

Lol I'm not in any cup competition sef

sod09:
last week I was the second highest and I won
Don't worry relegation is not that bad, you can be sure of meeting nezza,eph12 et al

Lol I'm far from relegation young man

patrickmuf:
Newcastle has done us a huge favor, let's go ahead to beat Aston Villa...

I don't just want us to win vs Aston Villa, I want us to take to the field on Friday playing like a team that wants the 3pts so much...Let's put the fear of God in our opponents like the Manchester United of old...

Liverpool and Manchester City are not at their best, the best time to win the league and have that believe back is now. Once we win it again, we will kick on from there. I don't want Liverpool to equal our EPL win...

This is very important.

KingAlabi:
If Liverpool and city are a team you try to draw against, why aren't they title contenders ??

Are you trolling or what?

They are title contenders, just as your team is a title contender too

handelex:
Before you say that are you OleIN or OleOUT?

I'm indifferent for now. He's working on some aspects of his game I wasn't comfortable with. Giving touchline instructions when needed, making early changes, removing Rashford from the wings and making him run inside instead, benching low performers like Pogba, Martial etc.

I hope Bruno doesn't get injured though because I'm not ready to discover how bad we are without him

codedguy1:
OK.

Everybody na contender from the start of the season.

Exactly

airmark:
An injury to Fernandes is all needed for #Oleout to resume.

Trevor has assured us that we will do ok without Bruno

codedguy1:
It would make more sense to say we were title contenders at that time than saying it now.

So what if arsenal who is in the second half of the table eventually finish in the top 4? Would you consider them title contender now?

LOL if Arsenal gets to the point where they are on their best form and around the top position, they will definitely become contenders. Manchester United are at that point now

SyIvalord:
We will challenge strongly for the league this season, that I am sure of.

Thank you o. This is what we want to be hearing o

handelex:
Below is my reply to Patrickmuf yesterday

We are on the same page then. Why are we now arguing na?

codedguy1:
Is it those that don't want to see the team as title contenders NOW or forever?

Someone might not see the team as title contenders now does not mean if we are still in the mix by fed the person would still see the team as title contender.

There is a difference ooo

What if we're still in the mix by February but fall off after that?

handelex:
They are not real United fans and I believe none of them is here.

Is Manchester United a title contender?

SyIvalord:
Which well meaning Manchester United fan doesn’t want us to be title contenders? I think people are just being cautious because of the inconsistent nature of the team. That is very different from wishing the team fails.

Take it step by step/ game by game doesn’t mean that they don’t want us to be title contenders na

No Manchester United fan doesn’t want us to win the league. They are just trying to avoid heartbreak Incase Amaka disappoints again.

All na trolling sha

But we know that why some of us don't want to be seen as title contenders is so they can defend Ole that the team is not good enough. As for me, I have always been of the opinion that we have a good team. We may not win the league, but we shouldn't be far off
