They wish!




They are usually quite competitive when they get to the champions and europa leagues though and have even won the europa league cup before! Usually very stubborn, play good football and also produce good players!



Even one of your current key players came from there!......... WILLIAN

Matic has been crap since last season. Jose subbed him in vs Southampton and Subbed him off after just 28 minutes. Hiddink benched the fella almost constantly for Mikel. Under Conte, he hasn't been impressive, well, at least not to me.

Oscar brings running to the side. From a tactical POV, you need at least of of your midfield 3 to make dynamic runs off the ball to open passing lanes and create options. Matic cannot do that and Kante is the defensive lynchpin and thus needs to stay put. Oscar is a tactical necessity.

Matic's role should be the guying spraying the ball about from deep. He is not doing so. That's why I'm wondering what he brings to the side.
Who was not crap last season in chelsea sef? I get where you are coming from but remember this is the same matic that was your one of your 3 standout players the last time you chaps won the league? That player cannot have disappeared into thin air na! Conte needs to get that player back! That's why he is paid the big bucks innit?






He has been average but as I posted earlier based on the conte wey I know, matic or mikel has a chance to bloom in that midfield! Or maybe conte should attempt a fab, oscar and kante combo in your next game and see how that works out If matic continues serving up drivel that's on him and better for united sef!

You mean matic right? Even conte is aware fab is the best among the rest in Chelsea midfield so no need for INSULT. cool
Nope......if I INSULT person you go know...that was just a little jab because you guys are still our rivals so you must be disrespected at every chance one gets! At least una no dey suffer reach those "emirate homos" so why the painment? Lol.....





Now back to the matter...your coach is an italian, so defensive solidity and a non compromising midfield takes priority over all else....na oscar go cut out from that midfield, matic has never been creative but defensively he is on point! Oscar is also a bit of an inconsistent injury prone player so that may also cost him his place........na fab, matic and kante go fit lead una enter europa at least!

BAILLY IS A BEAST


“I think Eric has a lot of talent. He’s a beast, he’s so, so strong, he’s quick and he’s a very smart player. He doesn’t take risks, so that’s important for us because we know when we have the ball, or when he has the ball, he is not going to put the team under trouble.

“When the opponent has the ball we have a very quick player, we can press up because the space is going to be covered by him. He’s very good in the air, very energetic, with every ball in-between he goes like crazy so he wins a lot of balls. He did it well against Jamie Vardy and that’s not so easy because he was one of the best players last season and he felt very good, he won almost every duel.

“We are very happy with him. This season is so long, we have to keep our feet on the floor and Eric is going to be important but he’s still so young and he has to improve a lot.”


- Ander Herrera


“Eric seems to really enjoy defending. Nowadays, it’s not as common as it used to be – I think defenders in general, around the league, have been concentrating more on playing with the ball. Eric is a true defender. He played really well at Wembley and I am sure he is going to get better and better.”


- Michael Carrick



"He’s so composed on the ball and at the right times he knows when to clear it or when to play out from the back. 

"Defensively he’s been solid, no-one’s got around him and I’m so happy that we have him here. He’s such a good player and from the last few games he’s a very important player for us now as well."


- Luke Shaw



FANS TWEET USING #BAILLYISABEAST

@MuneneOfficial: GOAT. Bailly does't tire.

@AndertonYT: To come to such a tough & physical league & play so composed when he's never been here before.

@Taylor_Conor: Such a solid young talent, will eventually grow to be one of the best CBs in the world!

@Rojonaldo: He's shown all the qualities a central defender needs to succeed in the Premier League. Had a fantastic start.

@Ridge29MUFC: Reminds me of one similar beats who goes by the name of Vidic.

@Cann_UK: Slotted in no trouble. Completely different league and style. Looks like he's played here 10 years!

@Raiden_MUFC: He's a proper defender. Very aggresive yet so composed. He's like Vidic and Rio rolled into one.

@Parny1985: Composed, athletic and packs a huge amount of controlled aggression.

Nihilist:
Herd mentality is a bad thing.

If we analyse the Chelsea midfield three objectively, the person who shouldn't be in the team is Matic.

Oscar isn't the most creative player on the team, but he injects energy into the middle as he runs from box to box. Kante is the defensive lynchpin of the side. What does Matic do? He creates fewer chances than the more defensive Kante. He makes fewer interceptions and tackles than the more attacking Oscar.

But nobody is questioning that, because visionless Oscar must somehow be blamed sha.Once we've found our scapegoat, we stick to it like glue.

Fab is being benched by Matic not Oscar. That's just a simple fact.
As the season progresses your teams central midfield is going to be comprised of fab, kante and 1 of either matic or mikel!



But going by the logic of some of these your pea brained brothers, fab now being on the bench is as a result of the fact that conte has discovered him to be a pathetic midfielder!



Fab is your best midfielder hands down, oscar is just enjoying a fitness based run in the team and costas main hope is fab! Eventually your coach will realise this and oscar would go back to checking his text messages on the bench!

All I saw in that video was a noob saibot looking mofo making rash tackles that even seasoned NURTW thugs would applaud.

I think he did one fake leg over and that's it. All the passes that he made didn't reach their target.

You will see why the longer the season unfolds.christineC too. grin
Hater!

But seriously the chap is willing to try things unlike smalling......he is still learning his trade and the potential to be more than a bruiser is there....he can PLAY....still a bit rash in the tackle but at 22 that is to be expected!




Are you not suprised that smalling played his best soccer under a poltroon like LVG? When your job is to pass to de gea and clear balls into the stands or onto fellainis skull defending becomes a lot easier!



John terry and carvalho were both good defenders but carvalho was a better BALL PLAYING 1!

Actually that video clip was about Bailly defensive ability against top oppositions and not his ball playing abilities that you have been talking about. Unless there is a different definition of ball playing that I don't know.
Do you remember rio ferdinands time at man united? That is the definition of a "ball playing defender!" A.k.a ball sense in naija lingua...



A defender who can also pass, dribble and bring out the ball with ease and confidence from a defensive position! After collecting the ball from an opponent in defence it is not easy to still dribble or search for attacking opportunities from such a position or even to lay a through pass that can initiate attacking moves! Not suprising since he has the african flair thing anyway.......





Bailly does this better than smalling! HE IS A BETTER FOOTBALLER! It seems you did not watch the video in its entirety, but if you did and you still feel he is not what I termed him as, please kindly try to get us a compilation video of smalling doing similar things and let us and the other fans use our eyes to compare......No need for long thing.

Politics › Re: PHOTOS: Why Is President Buhari So Addicted To Reading The Nation Newspaper? by Funlordjnr: 10:03am On Aug 22, 2016
MissEdified:
A quick look into various pictures of President Muhammadu Buhari shows that the President is so much in love reading the most widely circulated Newspaper in Nigeria, The Nation Newspaper.

The newspaper which recently celebrated 10 years of existence has been rumored in some quarters that it is one of the major tools of the now ruling party.

Could this picture be true of it?

Why is President Muhammadu Buhari always reading this newspaper?

I was going to post this from skysports. I also noticed Pogba likes sending long balls to Valencia. Scholes and Carrick used him as a way of switching direction of play, now it didn't take 10 mins for Pogba to figure this quality out. I have always said Valencia's ability to take down a long flying pass with one touch is magnificent and always a big bonus. His only weakness is his lack of aerial duel abilities.
....................


The converted defender went on to supply the cross from which Ibrahimovic scored his winning goal in the Community Shield and played an influential role in Wayne Rooney's strike at Bournemouth last weekend, before a strong performance once again during Friday's 2-0 win over Southampton.

www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/10546378/antonio-valencia-is-currently-the-best-right-back-in-the-world-says-ander-herrera
................

I must also add that he continued from where he stopped last season after he returned from injury. Our results immediately improved as we gained attacking strength on the right while helping to balance our overall play. He did very well in the games in Wembley and also has so much praised for his work towards our winning goal when at 10 men, he took the ball alone down the field to the opposition box. All hail him!

Cc Funlord
I no send am.........valencia is having a great start to the season no doubt and I hope he justifies his salary in that position, but looking at his career so far as a united right back he still has a lot to do to be regarded a world class fullback or our number 1! He has cost us so many games and killed so many of our attacks from that position you know? Let's not act as if those things never happened because he is jamming after 2 matches!





Think of evra, dennis irwin, gary neville(my generation)......these are defenders who I use as the standard to judge united full backs, I'm sure you won't even attempt to compare valencia to them yet! I can't forget the past 4 years and I have also posted countless articles of even better pundits criticising his performances but I know say you will still form stubborn and refuse to see the matter from those angles! No shaking.... Valencia is a good squad player but he is not a united standard fullback YET!






Herrera needs to also concentrate on doing something that would make someone in the team also hail him like this instead of ass licking! His united career is currently stuck in gear 1............

I no send YouTube. And i've never cared much about watching video clips of players.

Even the likes of Depay and Walcott can be seen as better than Bale and Neymar if u go watch their youtube clips. I only judge players based on what i see them perform on the pitch live.

Bailly has been solid defensively in his three games. And yes he get confidence on the ball more than Smalling. But nothing(especially in the Southampton game) suggests he's a better ball playing defender than Smalling.

Anyways check ur mentions.
I don check am so no shaking! My own crux of the matter be say you been run bailly down wella!




You know say I don do court case tire for my life so I pick and choose my words carefully when I dey spit about soccer! From when smalling leave fulham join united I've followed his career! Since bailly joined united I've formed a habit of watching all his games against top level opposition (the full 90 mins) to determine what exactly made jose sign him!




The boy is young, talented, quick and seems ready to dab! Smalling is a good defender, I like him but I specifically mentioned BALL PLAYING DEFENDER in my post! With the ball at his feet bailly pass smalling abeg, I played ball during my youth service so I fit no be messi but at least I sabi wetin I dey yarn pass kagawawa10! Season long so we go still see as tings be but that video was meant to show you that e don tay wey bailly get ball sense pass smalling! He is a diamond in the rough so let him get polished!

To those of u who claim Smalling isn't good with the ball at his feet, hope u know Bailly is even WORSE??

On several occasions, when he(Bailly) came out of defence with the ball, he didn't even know what to do with it. Most times, he had to be passing the ball to Blind. And at one point, he even passed back to DDG under pressure and that one had to clear ball to throwing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSUiCo_tV6E&app=desktop

“I know him and have always liked the way he plays.

“I know he’s not a normal right-back because he used to play as a winger, but I think that, right now, he is the best right-back in the world, maybe with Dani Alves, because I like Dani Alves a lot. I think Antonio is one of the best right-backs in the world.

“When you have a right-back who is quick to defend and he is crossing maybe six or seven times a game, always or almost always successfully, then he understands the football. When I have the ball, I know that Antonio’s always ready to receive it, always to give you one solution.

“I think he’s going to be very important this season. He has already been very important for the club, he has already been here eight years, but I think I told you at the end of the last season something good is being cooked and everyone wants to be part of that.”


- Ander Herrera
This is classic "support your local gunfighter talk"!



He has had a decent start to the season and nothing more! The coach is still in the hunt for a right back even though tony v has been impressing after almost 4 years of _fucking up at right back!




Herrera should bother about turning himself into the next "pogba iniesta, modric or kroos" because his own united career has started stalling and the patience of the fans is beginning to wear thin.........
