Since Pogba came back, Bruno has put our strikers clear on goal at least three times. They have either fluffed their lines or been brought down by the defenders, denying him of clean assists. This is what we expect from him, to create clean chances for our strikers. Maybe he should try passing the ball backwards more so that we won't accuse him of losing the ball again. Even the pass Rashford gave Martial for his 3rd goal or so came from Bruno's awareness of the game and Rashford was where he was supposed to be. Let's rest abeg

I won’t blame the full backs for not crossing. I’m going to lash them for their innacurate crosses. I will also condemn the strikers for their lack of aerial prowess and intelligence.

Our strikers have scored more than 50 goals this season and less than 10% of those are from headers. Pair Ibrahimovic and Andy Robertson and Gary Neville and count how many headers they’ll get on target in 10 games.

Not saying headers are the only way to score but you gotta create many ways to score goals. Headers are good vs park the bus teams- if you know how to orchestrate and execute them correctly.
What determines if a cross is inaccurate?

What’s the point in losing possession 100 times from crossing if just 10 crosses will find its target? (I’m being generous with the 10). It’s either too high or too low.

Plus we don’t have any attacker who is good in the air. So, of the 10 accurate crosses, maybe 2 or 3 gets to the promised land.

What’s the point of gifting possession to your oppponents if it will rarely benefit you?

There are other ways to get goals against a bus parking team. Outside shots will open things up, free kicks too, and you can move the ball swiftly around and create spaces with your movements.

Don’t get me wrong , crosses are good - but only when you are to a good extent certain that they will work. 2 of martial’s hattrick the other day were low crosses into the box. They should work more on stuff like that.
The fullbacks are being blamed for not crossing

Where did you hear that from? You're a clown. Everyone is agile now and build features iteratively. In the world of competing products, new feature releases roled out regularly by competing companies, you're confidently saying "MOST firms don't need a coding of project products always"? That's some bull man.
That guy was so ignorantly spilling nonsense with confidence. Wow

Getting jobs on Upwork is also the same as offline. If you want a good job at a tech company. You have to be ready to send out over 100 applications. A lot of people send out over 200 applications, do like 60 interviews to land just one job. It's the same on Upwork. The only downside is you need money for connects. It's why I always advise new freelancers to have money to get those connects. Once you get your first five clients and do good work you won't have to be applying for jobs constantly.

The great thing about the IT field is the jobs exist. If you want to apply to 100 jobs today you can do it and there's so much variety to choose from. In some fields, there are no jobs. The jobs don't even exist. Try looking for a job in chemical engineering or petrochemical engineering and this are courses most Nigerians are dying to get into.
Yeah the connect was the issue. So you're saying one have to set money aside to pay to apply for the jobs ?

Banks don't hire Programmer the use on shelf banking software called Finacle

Banks Hire C.S all rounder for its IT needs and contracts whatever other things they need out

That's efficient

And the hotel I talked about is a 5 star hotel owned by a Dubai Shield, I have seen IT structure in many other top organisation
Hahahahahaha
I work for one and I know plenty others who are not CS grads and working for banks. Anyways e go be lmao

What I really want to know is:

If a programmer is working in an organization that depends on getting projects from clients like other companies or individuals, what is the fate of Programmers working in such an organization if the company does not have projects to work on for maybe 3 or 4 months?
You may be laid off

Start up coy's coding needs a so limited, infact most start ups would rather go for ERP Software Packages on shelf, than waste money on programming, and if they need a more tailored software they get a freelancer that they don't have to hire on long term bases

The C.S guys work in teams at the IT department, the work on hotel networking, take care of finger print tag in systems, maintain all PC and software from MDs office, HR and Accounting, they even fix common software issues for front desk cashier's

And the major major job is keeping the website working, updating price changes and other social media campaigns

Now tell me if as an HR if you would hire a programmer for all this?
A reasonable organization will have those in charge of networking, and those in charge of software development. Then an IT guru in charge of designing the system who is also part of the management or reports directly to the boss. Only a handful of guys should be involved in that. The others are just there to implement what somebody else has designed. This brings real efficiency. If your hotel company wants the same person to be a software developer, handle networking and installations, good luck with them. They will lose their staff to some other reasonable companies soon.


For example banks hire programmers. Would you like to tell their HR how to do their job?

And the midfielders on some occasions pass the ball back to the centre backs who then pass to the keeper, and depending on his mood, the keeper either sends it to the opposition keeper or gifts them a throw in grin grin some matches dey tire person
Exactly! They keep on passing the ball around probably because they don't want to lose the ball which happens most times when a player crosses but there's also a small chance of scoring from it so I wonder what their problem is

Step into the real world and see, most firms don't need coding of project always, except for the likes of NASA, Google , Facebook etc

Most firms need an all-round IT guy

For instance a 5 star hotel (grand Excelsior/ Holliday Inn) Abu Shagara Sharjah in UAE offered a job for a MIS ERP design and implementation project that lasted less than 6 months and upon project completion the HR made it clear what their new IT needs are, and only offered Full Employment for few C.S guys why booting out the Indian coders
Lmao there are hundreds or even thousands of start ups who pay really good money to software developers every year.

Will those C.S guys all be required to do everything? Or they will be shared into departments?

Yes, I agree with that. It's possible that the guy is just starting out. As a first-timer freelancer, having a portfolio to show to one's clients increases their confidence in one...
Exactly! He should focus on building his portfolio first

Maybe maybe not. For freelancing, you have to be tenacious. Freelancing works especially on Upwork. As for remote jobs it's just like any other job. Continuous application and scaling and passing the interviews which most times aren't easy. Coding interviews are one of the hardest things on earth.
Like I said, it takes a lot of scaled skillset and mental preparations to be successful at most of the remote jobs interviews. Someone just starting or someone that's currently earning 50k monthly tells me that he's not that ready yet.

I'm on upwork so I know how it works. It's not that easy to get jobs unless you have trusted clients that keep using you

If he's very good at what he does and delivers good and timely job for a client, he will surely earn and learn more.
Someone that's very good won't be earning 50k in a company. And even if you're very good, getting clients as a first timer is very difficult

50k a month cheesy. How do people accept such salaries for mentally taxing jobs? Seriously. How? When there's so many options today. Freelancing, remote work name it.
Working for a company does not stop freelancing. And it's not that simple to earn good money as a new freelancer, not to talk of a remote job

cool



See, what a programmer can offer are far limited and most firms prefer a C.S guy

A tech firm needs a programmer that can write complex algorithm, design flawless software architecture, debug and upgrade, document softwares and still work as an IT support staff for both the company and the clients


To succeed as a programmer depends on your marketing skills, your independence to freelance, and ability to build your own cormercial software

.
Sounds like 5 jobs in one. Definitely a small firm struggling to survive

Not sure I have ever seen a developer earning less than 100k. My organization pays at least 120 even for interns. We scarce man....especially the really good ones. One of my colleague earns 600k and he does nothing. He has been earning that for over 3 years.
He definitely does something if he's earning that amount
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Is A Programmer's Job Unstable? by eph12(m): 8:00am On Jun 28, 2020
At 50k a month, he's definitely just starting. I think programmers change jobs more than any other career

football these days is more about whipping high and low crosses... see mancity, Bayern, Liverpool even Chelsea are now going that root
The coach thinks otherwise. Other full backs at first opportunity will want to whip cross in, but ours will be passing back to a midfielder. That's by design

Those guys can’t cross shit. That’s the reason. Crossing is a sure way to lose possession for us.
You get better by doing it again and again and learning from your mistakes. And no, that's not the reason. We will lose possession most of the time after crossing just like every other team, that shouldn't be a problem. Every other teams loses possession but can we also score goals from crossing? We can always recover a lost possession

too much arsenal shit today.. but the full backs don't whip in crosses
That's due to the coach. They probably only train passing into the box. Exactly what I've been saying about our full backs. Their lack of crossing is due to style, not that they can't.

Ya but this is Norwich defense we're talking about
Doesn't mean anything. There was hardly one on one around their box. All 11 behind the ball will always be difficult to crack. Only an early goal or two could have made them come out, which Mata and his band refused to deliver on

They actually played OK, at least when Mata and Lingard left. It's not easy breaking down a team that refuses to come out. It was unfortunate they scored when they scored

Or the ones that wanted Ighalo and McTominay to play this game also thought they were better than Martial and Pogba?

It was in reference to what they actually bring to the team. Apparently AWB hinders the progress of an attacking team and Dalot will be better. Abi is Dalot not a better attacker again ni?
