I didn't read your post but no I don't agree that the problem of Nigeria is the elite

Kimbeast:
Lukaku scored more goals at everton Last season than at united this season . United is also sunken.

See as you just came to disgrace yourself

Godwindanielboy:
Sanchez still adapting, Bailly: injury or bench, Lindelof: not mou type of player(aggresiveness = zero) remember John terry, Matic fits mou's style of play, pogba: not ready to listen to his coach. So that explains it. All mou signing i rate are sanchez(defends just like willian), matic(fits mou style) and lukaku(hardworking). The above are not in their best form either cos they are adapting or the player around them are performing less. Mou always praised lukaku(sergeant) and matic. Why? . The 'basic criteria' in playing in mou's team is hardwork and being able to track back. That is the situation with Martial and Mkhi. See my fellow utd fans, we can't sack mou so also the board for now. And he loves playing defensive football, accept and adapt. Mou never adapt to a team history or way of play, so since he will continue next season, let us adapt to him while he stays.

Let's see who comes in and who goes out by the end of this transfer window

Mou doesn’t have a quarter billion dollars at Porto when he started right? Cmon, relax on the pessimist bro eph, let’s see how the transfer window goes.

Porto was how many years ago na lol. How can one still be holding on to achievements that long when the the world has evolved? Times have changed, people have changed, players don't come same way they used to again. Expectations have changed too. You can't bet a dollar on Mou doing a Porto in any average European club this year, next year or 20 years to come.

My point is that shouldn't be a basis anymore. Chances of that happening again is below 0.1%. Mourinho is our coach and he'll probably be for the next two years but he has had enough time to influence things. Let's just see how the transfer goes

larride:
The system I think Mou is trying to implement here is a swift counter attacking approach, obviously it isn’t working yet which is blame on him and on the players. Both Mou and the players must bear the responsibility of our failed season. Don’t forget that against the lower teams we dominate play but we just don’t know how to break some teams down sometimes, it happens.

Mou is already assembling players that fit into his system we already have DDG, Lukaku, Bailley, Sanchez, Matic and co, this transfer window will definitely give us an hint on the direction we are going with Mou. I believe because we won Europa and Carabao cup in his first season, that’s why he didn’t move some of our deadwood players out as if feel they could do some job, now that he has gone trophyless, this transfer window will show us the path Mou wants to take, if he still persist with these deadwoods and didn’t fix where the team is lacking like RW, RB, LB, CB and CM, then he’s responsible for anyhow our season turns out.

In respect to the players Mou bought, you are not necessarily fair on them and Mou, Lukaku is turning out good and improving, Matic was our best midfielder, Pogba flash here and there, Bailley is our best defender, Sanchez just arrived, it’s only Lindelof that hasn’t been up to scratch, forget that thing bro eph, Mou signings has been better than all his predecessors combined.

My opinion about the players was in respect to their counterparts in other clubs and not compare them with the deadwoods we have been unable to do away with.

Anyways Mourinho doing very well this season depends on how aggressive and purposeful he is in this transfer window. By September he would have been in charge of 5 transfer windows. We have had issues with our RW LB and CM since when he took over. Let's see what happens by the end of this transfer window.

Cc Nihilishtjnr

Why you dey disturb me? Which of your midfielders did anything above average this season? Only Kante is better in your team

Larride the trophies you praise Mourinho for will soon be a distant memory if he refuses to evolve.

Guys at Roma Napoli Athletico are competing even with a much smaller budget. I can imagine what they would do with a quarter billion dollars in transfer fee alone, wages excluded

larride:
C’mon eph, if there’s one thing you have to give big ups to Mou for, it has to be his signings, look at all those we have been clamoring to fück off from our team, they are players he inherited, if you wanna rate Mou signings on a scale of 1 - 10, definitely you will rate it 7 or thereabouts, his signings has done better.

Mou doesn’t have Ronaldo, Marcelo, Ozil and co when he won the treble with Inter, why hasn’t other coaches after Mou at Madrid being able to get to 100points and score 121 goals? You see, a manager will always create a system that works for him, Pep has also gone trophyless with City, yes?

I believe Mou will not fail, yes we haven’t won the league since he hired him 2 seasons ago but his time with us can’t be termed a failure yet. The question I want to ask you is who are this new faces that are becoming better manager? Communicator or motivators? What are their track records? What do they have to show for it? You should know that there’s no one way to play football, every manager has a system he believe him, every manager has this philosophy and mindset about how they want their team to play.

Sincerely I have not seen any system, philosophy or mindset in how we play. We're neither here nor there and the worrisome thing is that this is after two years.

Can you point to a team of 11-15 players that fit this Mourinho system? You can mention from any team all over the world let's understand the kind of players that will fit in. Then we can wonder why we're not going after those players. Then what's the repercussion if Mourinho doesn't get those players.

The players Mourinho has bought are Bailly, Pogba, Sanchez, Lindelof, Matic. Is there any I'm missing? Which of them lit the league this season? Which of them can be mentioned among the top 3 in their positions this season? The fact that Matic is our best midfielder doesn't mean he has done anything above average. He's one of the reasons why De Gea had to save us multiple times

The earlier they discover this oil the better for everyone so we can separate in peace

braunstrowman:
he has gone far in life bro.

His building am trying to sell was because how he compost himself during his youthful age.

His business empire am about to oversee was because of how him compost himself.

And many more of his achievements

This is what I have been trying to say oooo, most times we should 1 or 2 matches to generalize the whole season, there are some matches wherein we park the bus but to say we were defensive all through the season is a lie. When I say we have one of the laziest team in the league, people think I’m just trying to support Mou meanwhile having the laziest team also indict Mou because he’s meant to motivate and ginger those overpaid mofo to always give their 100% whenever they are called upon. It’s on Mou to set up a system that works for him and the team and I believe he can do that. We always find excuse for the players but once it’s Mou we already have a pre-determined bias towards him. Not everyone will like someone that’s a fact.

Do you know that in Mou second season with Madrid, his team was the first team in La Liga history to reach 100points before been equaled by Barca the following season? Do you know that in the history of La Liga till date, Mou Madrid holds the record goal scored in a single La Liga season? His team scored 121 goals in the 2011/2012 season.

I choose to believe Mou will build a system that works for him and his players or just like the others before him, he will be kicked out, as at today, I believe he can.

The only issue with all these now is that Mourinho won't be able to call on somebody like Ronaldo Alonso Marcelo Ramos Pepe Angel and Ozil. I don't see how he's going to get those kind of players now. He has to make do with the talent he has and buy more to improve the team. Even if we want to trust him, his transfers has not really been a hit. We're not talking about the ones he met o but the ones he brought in.

What got him the job is his previous record but what will keep him or endear him to the fans is what happens at the club and not in his previous clubs. He has more to lose if it doesn't work here because they're a couple of new faces that are becoming better than him as a manager, communicator and motivator.

braunstrowman:
my Dad

Not only he feared them but he excommunicated himself from them.

Where's the far that he has gone?

braunstrowman:
I don't think is unfair to assume without hearing but in this case there's no need to hear from both sides because women character are more than what this op posted

Fear women if you want to go far on life

Give me examples of people that feared women and have gone far in life

According to Laumdeuter, Saturday which falls on the 26th of May is part of the Last 10 Champions League and guess what people? Today is the 25th of May. The future is already the past according to our ogbomosho analyst

My brothers and sisters, Please spot the words and numbers in Thick black

Tufiakwa!!!

You see that egbon for dream ni?
He has accepted his L since na, stop rubbing it in lol

Sonoflord:
but her own is too much even her mother inlaw had noticed her bad character.

That's what mother-in-law do best so that means nothing.

The person you should have problem with is your uncle. His wife is just bringing out those attributes in him if what you're saying is true.

braunstrowman:
I can't speak for the op

I was assuming

I see.

But you don't think it's unfair to assume without hearing both sides of the story? Many innocent people have been destroyed physically or emotionally because of this

braunstrowman:
like he stated the marriage is still a year and no wife will display his all his career to her husband within a year. It takes time before her husband find out what's going on.

I don't think he's saying this out of proportion.

Why?

braunstrowman:
my brother if your wife get or display all this character op mentioned above my brother you need to warn her because if you fail to do so, you are risking your life and your family future.

What if she's not like that to the husband? Or this op is just blowing it out of proportion?

Is there a summary?

Sonoflord:
can a wife display all this to his husband within 1yrs of their marriage

You need to know that they're different things people look for in marriage. Everybody has flaws but we agree to go ahead with the marriage because we either believe they're enough good to overshadow those flaws or it's something you can live with. There may be some good sides to your uncle's wife that's making her adorable to your uncle.

That's why I asked if your uncle is complaining

Is your uncle complaining?

slawomir:

Oga the defensive emphasis nonsense is coming from Mourinho abeg. They say action speaks louder than words. We can see what happens on the field na.

Real, bayern, city, barca, even liverpool and PSG will enter a match and you will see effort from the beginning that they want to win while our team will be strolling around the pitch like zombies only to concede and then up the ante. If we score first we mostly start trying to defend that lone goal while the other teams I mentioned above will all continue to attack even when they are 3 goals up, let's not talk about when the concede first. That's the point am making. We have said it on this board a thousand times. The only difference is that we managed to come 2nd this season but I am saying that system doesn't look like it will get is anything especially in the league.

We are stuck with Mourinho for now anyways. I hope he adjust his style towards more emphasis on attacking. I hope.

Strolling around is not the same thing as being defensive. It just shows that the team is either not well prepped or not serious. We lose the ball too often to even make a serious attack. That's not being defensive, that's just plain laziness, unseriousness and very poor mentality at display. You should know a defensive game when you see one. How many times have we played like we played against Arsenal first leg, LFC home and away this season ? Or the way Chelsea played against us? Against the small teams we lost we were not defensive, the was just not serious

codedguy1:
I don't understand how we have a coach who is obsessed with defending. Every player he wants to buy he first assesses the players defensive contribution.

Shouldn't it be the other way round, hevshoukd allow players do what they how to do best. Defenders should defend, midfielders should midfield and attackers should attack na and play players in their preferred position.

We know defending is important but it seems Mourinho has never heard of "attacking being the best form of defending" or has someone disproved that assertion.

Except mourinho's own assertion is that "defending is best form of attacking"

I am even confused now.

Lol calm down bro before you Mourinho give you hbp.

I think all these defending talk is not directly from Mourinho. He hasn't come out to say he wants players that can defend so we have to give him some benefit of doubt and not swallow everything we read here or elsewhere line hook and sinker.

What we should be looking for in a player is high work rate because modern football is about team attacking and depending together. Attitude when not with the ball matters as much as when with the ball. Check other teams, their attackers defend too by running after lose balls and closing down spaces. We can't say everyone should focus on his own side or role, it won't work. Look at how teams that have done very well in recent years play and you will understand my point. LFC has gotten to the final not just because they're deadly up front or their back line is sharp, but because Salah, Firmino, Mane, Chamberlain, Milner, Henderson etc won't stop playing or running throughout the game. Same thing with City Barca Madrid.

I will be glad to see Mourinho out of the club but I won't take beer parlour gist until I see fact.

Oga, i'll help explain to you.

She want a man to pay her bride price alone.
She want a man to finance the wedding alone.
She want a man to rent/build their family house alone.
She want a man to buy car for comfort alone.
She want a man to provide and cater for the family alone.
She want a man to make tea for her every morning.
She want a man to act like a gentleman whenever she slaps him.
She want a man to worship her, but hate your mum.
She want a man pamper her even when she's wrong.
She want a man to sponsor their children in school alone.
She want a man to bring in maid for her.
She want you to be her slave.

While she stays at home eat and watch telemundo from day to day.

Then at the end of the day, you should give women credit and stop saying that men are the head of the home.

The aforementioned are the qualities a Nigerian feminist want from a man. They want equal benefits, but not equal responsibilities.

Whenever you see a Nigerian feminist, just know that the aforementioned are what they want.

So we will be stressed by their family because we want to marry them for what?

So what is her idea of how it's supposed to be? What are the roles of each couple? Is there a separation of power or responsibility?

Op instead of you to ask her to explain more you are coming to disturb us here

Alright I agree.

Can you now list the winners of the last 10 champions league?

raumdeuter:
Is there a 0.1% chance that Man Utd will win after the final whistle on Saturday?
