Nihilist:
We're still waiting for Danteasdz btw.

Let me guess his response:

Hahahaha! This was another Jose masterclass. He set up his team not to lose by more than a goal margin and he achieved it. Jose keeps shiiting on his doubters!!!

Oasis007:


Are you also an Einstein?! LOL!

Joke apart..... JM ain't helping the Lads to be courageous psychologically against the so called big Ish. What's big in Chelsea for God's sake?! We can't pin the Team lackadaisical performance on Injury coz its only Pogba the Team is missing presently.

JM is the problem, he's the one to be blamed, he's not special anymore, coz what so special in a Manager that can't perform better against big Teams?!

If it was United that got a Draw at Santiago, JM would have parked a double-decker Bus in the return Leg, and C. Ronaldo would have used us to win another Ballon D'Or.

Nothing is wrong with the Players, but the Manager's Tactics. Rose returns from Injury, he's back in the Spurs Team, and he's doing Fine. But JM still thinks Luke Shaw ain't ready yet. I can't ever appreciate Young playing as a Wing-Back or LB. He's trying though, but he's not the Answer. And I'm certain Luke Shaw would perform better than him if he gets the Opportunity.

Is it too late for Mourinho to change his Style? No! I believe he can play attacking Football as well, he's just too scared to play it in big Matches.

Even the attacking football is full of disjointed passes that breaks down before any havoc can be caused. We are left with moments of individual brilliance and not team brilliance to savor

Oasis007:
United Form against big Teams is Jose Mourinho. He does give too much respect to the so called big Teams, which is affecting the Players' morale psychologically.

Ain't we playing a Team decimated by Roma without man-marking Hazard?! Do we always need to give special Attention to Hazard anytime United play them?!

When Martial was brought in, I couldn't say where he was playing. Martial is a Menace to the Opposition when plays on the left Wing, hence I expected Rashford to move to the right side, but JM thought otherwise.

Give Mourinho Man City to manage, and the Team will turn off their attacking play sharply, and switch to a defensive minded Team.

At a point I couldn't even watch again, I just focused on my FM, and that was before the goal. There was no plan to carry the ball through the midfield to attack, as it was always long balls that unless you're Drogba, defenders always have the upper hands. The team couldn't string quality passes together and it was shameful. I know we're away and a draw which is just a point should be celebrated but I was more concerned with how we play and not just the result. We could drop points and play a great game and I'll be satisfied knowing we could have also easily have won the match, but it's not the case with Jose's team. The psychological effect of this is that the team automatically switches to defense mode when away from home against any team of average quality. A draw away from home will now be celebrated as a masterclass. I have stopped trolling shekpe long time ago because this our coach dey vex me.

I look at City team and I don't understand how the gap is this wide. Their defenders are not better, same with attackers. Their midfield is slightly better, but it just looks like this because they keep the ball and make the ball work for them. It becomes more annoying when I read things like he has a pattern that has won him numerous trophies. Na here we go dey abi next match the team will score 4 goals playing nonsense against weaker teams and we will be seeing things like master class.

I just feel for Lukaku playing beside Mhki. It can be very frustrating

airmark:
Your dog is better than lukaku then.

Maybe maybe not. Lukaku wasn't given tap in to score so we can never know

Chelseafan1:
Today never end, u don dey do strong-head again.

Morata did nothing of note except score a tap in. My dog can score tap ins all day

Chelseafan1:
OK, Lana1, Sinizia, Dopejemi, eph12, Oasis007, have we all agreed that Morata is Lukakus grandfather while Kante is Herrera ''s ancestor??

Nope I don't agree

agrovick:
Eph.12 after courtois saves

Truly e pain me

Odunharry:
Chekpe was wasteful today honestly. If it were City, mayb we would have chopped 5.

Jose should just stick to his defense philosophy. Attacking does not suit him

sinizia:
I agree with you, but a change in tactics and a philosophy to attack can help.

Against Spurs, Martial said something which I noticed in Rashford before he was substituted. He said Mourinho told him to run in behind Ukaku.

What this meant was that both Rashford and Martial didn't stay too much on the wings but ran at the CBs which gave Ukaku the chance to to avoid having 3 CBs on his neck. Ukaku was able to come into the AM position with Rashford and Martial acting like a SS. What we saw was Ukaku's best performance in weeks.

But in this match, Rashford is more in the wings while Mhiki is a ghost. Ukaku is not getting any supply at all.

Last season, we played two fast CFs that gave their CBs a torrid time, and we won. Our tactics change when we play at home. But once we go away, we act like pussies.

Transition from midfield to attack is still poor. Has nothing to do with formation. Just quick short passes that open up spaces and not long balls that makes no sense

Adisaowalla:
We are trailing - we should be the ones showing urgency by stringing passes together & trying to open up the opponent's defence but unfortunately......Chelsea are the ones looking more dangerous & threatening to score a second goal.

Smh

I blame those of us urging the team to attack. Jose should just continue his default 10 man defense away from home. It's obvious we're asking for too much

chrisley024:
Stop fvckin start Miki in top games

That's how he will start him against City and the shortage will be well exploited

sinizia:
3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 which isolated Lukaku

No matter the formation we play as long as our midfielders can't move the ball smoothly from midfield to attack, he will still be isolated

My younger brother here is making me shame for United and Mourinho. He does not watch match but his comment about us not even able to hold the ball for a second is spot on. When we talk people will say we should keep quiet. Jose should train his team to hold the ball and give quick accurate passes. No be to go dey bully Sunderland ffs

sinizia:
Chelsea dey play us ball die o. Fear dey catch me.


United should have gone with 3-5-2. Two-man attack like our return leg last season.

I thought this is what we're playing?

Adisaowalla:
E be like say we go soon concede

Chai

Odunharry:
He already has an attempt..
Those guys ain't even giving him ball upfront.

I just pity for the guy. He has been the one assisting these past few games sef. In fact I pity for any striker playing beside Mkhi

Nihilist:
Omo is it the absence of Luiz that is making us play so well?

Mourinho is not known to play well away from home. Hasn't scored a goal in about 10 top away games

Adisaowalla:
My concern is that : if we concede 1st, how exactly are we gonna build any attacking momentum with Miki having his usual off-day?

I just weak

Oasis007:
I expect JM to replace him with Fellaini or Martial in the 2nd Half.

You should know by now that if Martial is replacing anybody it's Rashford

Abeg what is Mkhi's role in today's game se

EvilMetahuman:
And man city stole another win.

They had that match in the bag already

CapitalCee:
It's clear the FA want to hand their favorite son The League title with dubious officiating. Good one Mark Oliver thank you for your MOM performance in handing City all 3 points today.

Bros why? Decisions like this happen every time and everyone benefits from them at some point or the other

Leyqute:
City are favorites to lift the trophy and from all indications, they're in prime position to win it. I have a feeling they'll run away with it but it's a marathon, not a sprint.

We should just keep at it and be in the right position to overtake them when they start dropping points.

We really need to keep up. Any point dropped now is a loss

Oasis007:
City is in form, and if they can maintain the Form till February, then the League is theirs to win!

I am very much interested in our game against them

Oasis007:


Do you need Einstein to tell it's 3 - 3 - 2?!

I know the league is still early and all, but is City running away with the league? They have played 3 out of 5 top 6 teams, gotten max points and 5 points ahead. We can't afford to drop points today o

352 or 343?

Haywhy433:
Please I got a message from a friend seeking advice on on the below particular question, but I trust your judgment and experience more on here...


Which one is better among Marketing, Banking/Finance and Insurance in terms of career and job availability?

Marketing

I thought they said Buhari is the one coming?

mrvitalis:
American spends $700bn on defence yet can comfortably say they quick defeat Russia that spends $80bn

Take a look at the top 30 economy in the world compare revenue/gdp then compare that to what we have

What we need is afficient taxing system until we can get upto 30 to 60 trillion as revenue we won't develop the way we want to

Continuing ignoring the part where I'm asking for accountability and control on government excesses. This discuss is becoming annoying.

mrvitalis:
What was our last month revenue?

Federal government has a wage bill of 160bn a month , all the state has a combined wage bill of close to 160bn too , plus local governments, say 60bn
You have wage bill of 380bn a month , how much is left , defense, ASUU demands 18bn every month

We won't get 15bn for road maintenance
But we have close to 12 million cars in Nigeria , if each pay 200k a years Thad 4.4trillion for roads alone

Even the devil Would fix our roads with that amount....democracy is not in anywhere efficient when it comes to money

Money agberos collect go to where? How is this wage bill of 380bn helping Nigeria? How much of it does the executive, legislative and judiciary consume? How much of this is spent on allowances and other bonuses? What have they done to the wastages? How come the hospital at aso rock don't have basic medical equipment? What's happening to the allocation?

You want the people to trust a government that has not proven to be trustworthy? This is anti-people. Let the government borrow to fix the roads and electricity and we will pay our tax accordingly. The ordinary citizens are passing through a lot already and if you can't see this then that's terrible. If transport fare is increased, it won't be increased for only those earning 100k and above, there are people earning just about 50k with families and you're asking for more sacrifices. These ones can barely cater for their families.

What sacrifices is government making?

mrvitalis:
You can not tax people high without deliverying

How would tax end tribalism? Simple when you earn 100k and pay 40k as tax
You won't go voting your brother all you would seek is who would deliver for you
The bank you bank with do you consider the tribe of the owners ?

How much is our current revenue? How much of it is spent on recurrence? How much of is being used productively? You can't ask for more without justifying what you have done with the ones given to you before
