And then?

elampiro:
But we created chances towards the end of the season. Martial helped us create many chances.

Chances that Rashford was wasting? Hmmm

i no too gbadu baloteli, lukaku na de real deal, £60mil for lukaku go make sense.

60 million? Chai
Shey na like this we go dey dey?

I want to believe Rashford is having a big weight lifted off him at the moment. Last season, he went 5 games without a goal after his first two games where he scored 4 goals. Then he returned to scoring form against City. Towards the end of the season he scored one goal in 6 matches, having four straight match goals drought.

It is not like when he goes to the number 9 he will perform magic. The manager is using his speed to the fullest while saving him from criticism in the process. If Rashford went 5 goals without a goal from the number 9 position, hmmm he might be relegated like De Pay.

But you should also know that we weren't creating chances last season. I like to think we're doing now.

HCpaul:
You didn't ask because you don't know and you are not ready to know.

How will knowing help me?

elampiro:
Your last sentence contradicts your first sentence.

Just knew you wouldn't take that. Rooney was a top runner in his days. Always there to start the counter and finish it. I believe it has taken a toll on his game. Most times when he's in the midfield his passes are always diagonal. Long passes to the wing but we saying let's see if there's someone that can make direct passes. Rooney used to be a handful for any defence but right now Rashford with no experience and all will create more problems any day. Rooney is undoubtedly a legend. I wouldn't blame him for any of our poor performances or loss. The wise thing to do any day is to leave when the ovation is the loudest. And I hope CR7 knows this too. Players like these that have given everything don't deserve to be remembered by the negatives and coaches trying to ease them out of the team.

You still misunderstand me, my point is "No matter how good a player is, as long as his teammates keep messing up, there's little he can do about it even if his transfer fee is 90 or 100m". .....I remember that Swansea match where Ibra missed two clear cut chances created by Pogba (that's just a match out of a good number of matches where same sh! t happened) .... I'm not an Arsenal fan but I know that it's b'cos of giroud that Ozil couldn't break the Assist record, DDG didn't win last season golden glove b'cos of Smallings sluggish own goal... I could bring up other instances but you should understand what I'm saying by now.

Sure I understand

Oasis007:



Really don't understand you at times?! What else do you want Mata to do in the Hole?! Is he not creating chances?!

If eventually JM tries out Mkhitaryan in the Position and he flops miserably, I wonder what else you would say!

SMH..... this ain't the best way to support a Club. Have you heard of the Phrase - for better for worse?! I think you should learn it from the Arsenal Fans.

We have a world Class Manager, we are playing well and the Team is improving..... I believe we wouldn't be saying all these if the chances were converted. Fans like you would have been sing-praising Mata as the best 10 in the World, Pogba - the best B2B and Herrera - the best holding Midfielder.


People like you were the one wanting GEJ out, but now wailing - this is not the CHANGE we asked or prayed for. I'm getting pissed by your comments and posts to be candid..... if you are kinda exhausted of patience with the Manager and the Players - you can move on Dude!

I have never criticised Mata. The only ones I have criticised are Pogba and Mourinho so me no understand all these your epistles. Piers Morgan is one of the biggest arsenal fan and also one of the highest critic of Wenger and Arsenal. I guess he hates his club so much.

Many would agree that Pogba has not been ok for us and he needed to criticised so he remains professional. He needed to set his priority straight. Personal records can't come without team glory. Yesterday he was more tactically disciplined and is that not what we have been crying for? If he adjusts and help out the team and we begin to gather points wouldn't it make us all happy? Everyone gets criticised. RM, barca, Pep etc so why shouldn't Pogba or Mourinho be criticised? If you not interested in good football I am. Forgive me for being a fan of United for so long and gotten used to dominating matches.

weedtaker:
well, we bought a better player yet we never see him break light.

Of all the signings we made Mhki was the one I was really looking forward to. The position he is supposed to fill was the one giving me concern last season. We hardly created chances, always moving balls from right to left and back to right again with zero penetration. I hope he sorts himself out asap

gabazin080:
and have u prayed and fasted for 7 days and got the answer

Do you see me asking questions upandan? You are the questionnaire. Am only pointing you in the right direction

Zombies and wailers! Marriage made in heaven



Can someone please help me with that Zuma pisure

She's wrong not to have called

Rooney was a born scorer, highest goals per minutes played in Euro 2004 when SAF pushed him to the wing on his arrival, and eventually behind the striker. It is about the personnel available to a coach. You can't have a proven goal scorer like Ibrahimovic and play another person there.

Sometimes last season we results didn't go well, we complained to ourselves that the attack was bad, and it was about the inconsistency of an 18 years old leading our line.

Personally the complaint last season was not our finishing. We lacked quality final balls. Of course you can't blame the strikers for this. Or if we're to look at it, were we losing chances for fun last season?

Rooney was pushed around and the quality of those around him helped him to grow a lot. I remember reading somewhere some time ago about Giggs seriously warning CR7 about some habits. Those stuffs helped Kids to grow a lot then. Who is helping Rashford? Ibra that misses chances like it's nothing? Also not everybody must take the same path as Rooney. I even think that's what is affecting Rooney right now. Jack of all, master of none.

I think you should fast and pray for like 7 days and then God will reveal the answers to you. I don't think he's on nl though

elampiro:
From the position allocated to him, his final balls should be picking a man in and around the box with great wit and precision. The decision to cut the ball back or play it across the goal line or raise it to his man's head or just cross it should be a spot on. If he did that, he should be high on Assists and second Assists stats. Among the young lads, Martial has the best decision making, but he is also nowhere there yet compare to what we had before.

Now why would such position be allocated to him when it's obvious that he is not cut for that especially at his young age. He is just learning to be a goal scorer why should he be shifted out to the wings? At the end of the season his stats will not be good enough for anything. He is a born goal scorer and that is what he should spend his time improving

Who is a christian?

ruffp:
@what age did Jesus die? Was he worried about his mum & dad? Recall his comment when his parents stated they had been looking for him when he was teachin the elders. The point is, if u do bliv in the words u claim to hold in high esteem u will care less abt those worldly worries. Ur target wil , heaven n going as soon as possible too.

Who is supposed to worry over the other? The parent or child?

Tinubu is that you?

Your number 3 shows the author of this article is limited in understanding or just want to cause mischief

ruffp:
But as a Christian, shouldn't u beliv God wil cater for them?

As a christian is it God's wish for Christians to wish to die early?

MrTA:
Its true what they say about football fans sha. We tend to be delusional. Look at this post too.

You don't agree that we will score goals when we play like this?

elampiro:
Blind and Rojo have played well so far.

I wonder when Valencia will be back.

I think those two are rumored to be on their way out. They're not united quality they say but then those that are United standard have been letting the team down on a weekly basis. This is just pure bs when I read stuff like that

GloryIsaac:
Don't get me wrong bro, I've seen quite a whole lot of stupid memes concerning Pogba despite the fact that it's the team that's messing up and that's why I talked about him....Same with DDG, both are playing extremely well but the team is letting them down..

Seems you have very low expectations of Pogba

MrTA:
I need some of what you're smoking please.

It's very possible though if 95% of our remaining matches take this shape. On another day we will get goals from a play like this.

elampiro:
If we dominated a game this way during the time of Giggs and JS Park, we would run away with at least 4-0.

Ibrahimovic lack of finishing and Rashford amateur decision making were the major problem.

Rashford is very good, offering pace and quickness, but his final balls are still mostly poor. Final balls are very important, from what we used to have in Giggs, Rooney, Park, etc, we have really crawled backwards.

Rashford final balls should be putting the ball in the net not trying to cross

elrony:
Ehmm. ...Edakun epp me understands!!

Big money will be spent soon to bring in somebody that can control the middle.

Easy with the lies na

elrony:
Lol... make we dey watch am, situations will surely force his hands unless he wants to get the boot early enough!

But truth is Carrick and Ibra shouldn't be starting matches for us if we know what we're doing.

elrony:
I go shoot you now

Na me hate that long ball pass I swear.
But domination suppose get level na; how can we pummel a team from beginning to end without nothing to show for it.

I'd rather we dominate 60% and take all 3 points!

I get sha. What we need is win just that our chances of winning is higher when the opponents are kept away from the ball. We just have to put the ball into the net dazzal. But how do you keep the opponents away from the ball if you don't dominate them? If we allow opponents to play we will leak goals. We don't superhumans in defence
