Who are we blaming today o?

Nikiballer:
2005,2019 ?

Lmao when did your wilderness start and end? Abi its still on?

Nikiballer:
WE WON 2 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AND PLAYED FOUR FINALS in the process

THE ONLY CHAMPIONS LEAGUE YOU ARE GOING TO WIN IN YOUR NEXT 30YRS IS A PHOTOSHOPPED ONE YOU WILL PASTE IN YOUR BEDROOM

Where did you win 2 champions league? Must you always lie?

Nikiballer:
600 years CURSE for all Ferguson and Howard Webb atrocities

When your useless club was roaming the wilderness for 30 years, what atrocities did they commit?

patrickmuf:
No identity whatsoever...Abeg which pattern we dey play? Defense? Possession? Counter attack? None of the above? All of the above?

It's no longer news that Ole's team will struggle and wobble when they face teams that are defensive

BARAJ92:
We are currently more or less a team trying to get its past glory, more like Liverpool during fergie reign.

And what does that have to do with anything? Are we on the right path? Between last season and now, what progress has been made?

BARAJ92:
Yet we lost a seven points gap under same fergie and lost to a team that was relegated. Ole has proven not to be the best man or the worst man for the job, The board are only trying to see, if he can be the man that will turn things round which he has repeatedly fail. The question is what assurance that the next coach will perform than Ole?

What assurance do other clubs get when they change their managers? Abi what kind of assurance are you looking for?

Hopefully we all start pointing fingers in the right direction soon.

Mrviktor:
Bruno is unavailable..


Na Fernandez dey pitch

The others?

BARAJ92:
forget all this rants, top teams also lose match. We are no longer number one. Ole did the right things by benching some regulars.

What does this even mean?

Bruno, Mata, and VDB on the pitch, yet we struggle to create chances.

Expert17:
I have been waiting patiently to see Matic and VDB partnership.

Can't wait to see how it goes.

How is it going?

Maybe now we will appreciate the cover from Fred and Tom

Who are we blaming this time?

God this quick 1-2 our attackers are always attempting is killing me

That we've not even tested their keeper after 25 mins lmao

TrebleChamp:
Oh now i see your point, Pogba don too vex me with his rubbish play. Where else are we going to play him in midfield to get the best out of him? Are we even suppose to bring the best out of him or na him suppose dey give us him best in every game? Make him gedifout of our club jàre...

Be calming down sir

afrodoc2:
Pogba that was running on fumes towards the end of the game against Assanal. That penalty was the consequence of a fatigued mind and body. He needs to rest for this game.

Yet he finished that match. Ole ehn lmao. I just feel we need Bruno well rested for Everton

Expert17:
After Pogba's cataclysmic performance against Arsenal, he doesn't deserve to start the next game even if it's a friendly match.

TrebleChamp:
Are you trolling or you just wan cause fight? Why should Fraugba ever start a game for us? That guy should be sent to the under 18 abeg, make better players see space for bench...

If we can avoid it, we have to keep our best players fit for more stressful matches. We should be more concerned about Everton than this match. We don't want a tired Bruno against Everton. And you know we don't know how to kill off teams early, we leave things late. So no chance removing Bruno early

teeezy00:
Manchester United XI v Istanbul Basaksehir: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Tuanzebe, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, Van de Beek, Mata, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial #MUFC

Pogba should be starting this match ahead of Fernandes. Willams instead of Shaw and Cavani ahead of Rashford

patrickmuf:
How Check when it registered and you'll know it's one of the regular monikers here clowning around...

I don't even bother checking, I just ignore

Na kids like this wan make dem ban SM.

KingAlabi:
Why nobody dey mention Adama Traore name again

Because he is not scoring goals like jota

Maybe when he drops a Hattrick against Arsenal, guys go remember am.

Why nobody dey mention Sancho name again?

CapitalCee:
No he should rather go and play his stupid style at Championship or league 1 or better still in Norway

LOL I agree but he is not going anywhere at the moment. We should not go and relegate before then

TrebleChamp:
Just wondering how he got us playing fluid, fast attacking footy as interim manager, such that even Lingard was balling well dat time.

Counter attack.

But then teams prepare better for that now

TrebleChamp:
I wonder how Bruno will fare in that enjoy yourself taktiks Ole used while being Interim Coach..

How is that a taktiks?

If its defensive style Ole knows how to do or that's what he's able to teach his players, he should just stick to it.

Last season we were having fun against the top sides. This season, almost every team in the league wants to have a turn.

weedtaker:
Dis team is not consistent.. I’ve made peace with de fact. And I de get relaxed mind wella.. that’s why I wasn’t running my mouth when folks here were dead cert we will bury Arsenal.

We beat PSG at their ground convincingly and forgot how to attack against Chelsea, only to destroy Leipzig and then turn up against Arsenal like drunkards.

Last season they said it was fatigue, they said we are missing our best player in Pogba.. Pogba don come now them say na him be the problem.. it’s 2020 and people still think if we get rid of Pogba all our problems would be solved. Just like they were dead cert with Fellaini, Smalling and Lukaku.

Team is inconsistent and that’s on the manager.

At this point, I think the team should just pick an identity/formation that matches the players we currently have and train very well on it. Also everyone needs to be at the same energy level. It will be frustrating having someone run around while others just sit back waiting for the ball to fall to their laps.

I don't even need to talk about the manager anymore, I feel a lot have been said already lol

Just a couple of days ago, we had a great team that can go all the way in the UCL and league, with players and midfield that can offer different tactical options, today we don't have that team anymore? We should just be patient with the team because whether we like it or not, we have a manager that is still trying different things. We hope to get that identity soon. If he wants to play defensive, he should stick to it. It's tiring seeing those front 3 or 4 trying to press while the others are too far behind.

I hope Fred gets some rest and Tom gets some rest in our next game. Matic and VDB can partner in the midfield.

Expert17:
In-form Matic can play the DM role all by himself.

Partey got Mctoninay and Fred ability.

He will flourish beside 2 attack-minded midfielders.

This is yet to be seen. You may be right but I prefer to speak on what has been proven/facts, not what I feel

Matic is not out of form, he is just slow and can get overrun when teams come out to play. Teams nowadays are daring and will pressure you if you give them any small chance. Matic can't keep up with that because we need to be winning the ball everywhere on the field, not wait for the opponent to come to our half before trying to close down spaces
