Omo if you guys say all these things in that shekpite thread they for don lynch una o and labeled enemy of the state. It's unfortunate that people don't want to ask questions and are hostile towards anyone that dares to ask questions. My colleague at work will insist Tinubu was the cause of everything that went wrong with the protest. Even when I insist we speak facts, he's not ready to listen.

He insists that it was his thugs that did the looting and those thugs were never part of the protest even when evidence says otherwise.

I expected one of Pogba or Fred to be withdrawn but not for Matic. Should have been Cavani so Rashford can go to the wings. Mata and VDB coming in together would have improved our play much better.

Those of you getting worked up and angry over the outcome of the match, you guys forget very easily. Just one or two games and you believe everything is all good? We're not there yet, not even close. We still have issues playing against teams that are compact at the back and very energetic.

Our attempt at passing out from the back is still hilarious and the only thing worse than that is our press. Why a modern coach won't pay attention to this is beyond me and against everything in the book

Expert17:
And many DM failed under the same defensive-minded coaches.

Take your time to watch the guy, you will see the ability/talent there.

I don't doubt Partey talent/ability. My point is if Partey is in this team what would be happening right now? Will he be expected to play the DM all by himself? Will he flourish alone in an attacking team with two attacking minded midfielders beside him?

Expert17:
You should know Arteta is a defensive minded coach, hence the double 4 and 3 CB... Partey is a conplete midfielder, can do anything.

Pair Pogba with 5 DM and 5 CB he will still play rubbish....

So Partey has made his name playing under defensive minded coaches where more players are also required to defend? I would love to see him under a coach where he's the only DM and no one to help him

Expert17:
Partey can pass

Partey can Mark/tackle

Partey can shoot/score/assist

Partey has energy/passion

Yet he was paired with another DM and 3 CB. The coach didn't trust him enough to play that DM all by himself?

Last week players stepped up, today they're dead. Bruno, Rashford and Greenwood didn't do anything in this match, but but those 3 CM are dead lmao

Lana1:
U just cant hear anyone criticize Fred, your dïck go don hard like ice block.

Where did you see me hailing Fred for his performance against Leipzig? Unlike you, i knew it was only a matter of time before he fúcked up again coz it's the same Fred we've been watching all this time.

By the way, I never put our win against Leipzig down to any Ole's tactics. I simply said "the players stepped up". If u've forgotten, u can go and dig up my posts. E no too far. It was just last Thursday.

You mentioned 3 dead CM, I didn't even mention Fred's name. Maybe Fred alone is the 3 CM

Lana1:
This team is just so unbalanced.

Dead fullbacks. No natural DM, RW, CF.
Everybody just dey play anywhere, anyhow.
Manager sef dey do anyhow.

Cant remember the last time we had full backs running the show for us. At least we know what AWB is good at and what he isn't good at.

But that Shaw, the sight of him just annoys me. Dead offensively. Dead defensively.

Everything is just dead for your end except the manager. While the players are dead, the manager dey do anyhow. God epp us

Lana1:
It's not one and the same. If Maguire got injured today, we have Tuanzebe to step in.

All McTom does is bulldoze other players. Fred is only good for pressing the other team. Put the ball at his feet and he cant do anything with it. And Pogba will continue being shït.
Cant play a diamond with 3 dead midfielders.

I'm not saying we should sell all of them(only Pogba sha) but we definitely need a DM.

But but when they won Leipzig they were not 3 dead midfielders o. That time it was Ole the tactician. Now they have lost with horrible display they're now dead midfielders

Expert17:
Its late now, ....Thomas Partey can do everything you listed.

You know Partey had another dm in Elneny beside him plus 3 CB right?

I wonder what VDB has to do to start more games. He's better at holding the ball and covering more grounds

Our press should be the worst in the league lmao. This has been obvious for a long time, I don't know why nothing has been done there

We had a bad game, we should move on. Looking forward to the next game

weedtaker:
If we tow your lane now them go say we the criticize the coach.

Our set up is rubbish.

It's not rubbish, assnal prepared for it. There's a difference

afrodoc2:
Yes that might be the solution. Destroy the diamond and bring on Cavani for Fred probably.

Yeah

We need in game management here. Assnal are well prepared for this 442

Lol what do you people mean by two midfielders? Is it only those two you see in the middle or because it's what you see as the formation?

Assnal are being more aggressive in that midfield. I suggest we surrender it to them, withdraw a midfielder and bring in Cavani. Greenwood should switch to the right wing and Rashford left. We need to scatter those assnal CM to the left and right side to ease the game in the middle.

engrelvis:
y exactly did ole buy cavani n VDB? I will play Cavani ahead of Rashford any day.

Myfrend kip chut

Sniper4real:
Make person nak 1k ontop Ars 3odd. If we go lose @ least, money still enter

Draw nko? You go just lose your money for nothing

iamoyindamola:
If you start Martinez queue behind me let's know ourselves

Looks like the honeymoon is over

Skimpledawg:
Every clear Doc.

Kai, what I see eeh, chai!

Na pants and bra dey traumatize you? Wow

JayKayMaybachz:
Since joining Man Utd, Fred has made more ball recoveries per 90 in the Premier League than any other outfield player with 900+ minutes.

- Squawka

He just needs to work on his progressive passing so he can be recovering balls, tackling, shooting, and scoring

Oasis007:


ChristineC has done the Lord's work.

Lol na drugs

afrodoc2:
Hehehehe.

The guy not only mentioned Sean Dyche he started with him.

eph12 you see your brother?

Hahahaha e shock me

Oasis007:


I remember when some Folks suggested that stûpid Burnley Manager to replace OGS!

He's rated as second coming of Sir Alex...... LMAO!

When did this happen na?

afrodoc2:
I am not confident o. Dropping potential formation no mean say we dey confident.

Assanal will park the bus as per Arteta's system. All those acres of space Rashford saw against Leipzig won't be there against Assanal.
If we don't rod them early it will be a long day cos they will just sit deeper and deeper and wait until Auba catches one of our CBs 1 v 1.

Yeah we need that early goal to draw them out. It will be worse if they get that goal first

Mehn I wish I was as confident as many of us about our tomorrow game. This team has let us down when we least expect it. I hope we smash those gayners to pieces

I queued in a bank hall because I couldn't withdraw my last 400 from the ATM

Melvyn11:
Epl fans are ridiculous. The way they are praising his finishing one would think he was banging in goals against the big teams on a regular but check his goal records it's all against relegation fodders.

Ucl semifinalist and Bundesliga leader don turn relegation fodders Hazard fans will always embarrass you

pharod:


Fred has been immense and we all know that for midfielders like him, stats don't always tell the whole story. If they are counting assister of the assist man then his numbers will be up there with the rest.. He should be compensated for his energetic displays.

Yeah we really need that energy in the midfield. Anybody still expecting goals and assists from him will wait a long time. What he will give you is a platform for Bruno and co to do their jobs effectively. Whether it's Pogba, Bruno or VDB playing in front of him, as long as Fred has the freedom to move around the midfield mopping up attacks, they will be fine. Making him sit in front of the defense may not work for him and the team too. So someone has to sit there while he's allowed to do his thing

afrodoc2:
Similar to my line up. Just Tuanzebe for Lindelof and Cavani for Greenwood.

Yours is probably better but just not sure about the fitness of Cavani and Tuanzebe.

If Arsenal sit back Cavani’s ability to find space in the box through his movement would be important.

One combo that we should try in subsequent games against bus parking teams is Cavani and Greenwood. Our 2 best box movers and finishers together.

I'm not still sold out on Cavani. I'll love to see him start a game soon though so I can really see what he's currently about
