We look so average and it's painful. We should have put this match away in normal time. Carrick shouldn't be playing this long and i'm surprised it took Fellani this long to get a yellow. shocked

Though not with Raumdeuter's reckless abandon, but I remember A40 accosted me when i gave a bleak prognosis of Pep's Bayern sojourn. Actually, thinking about those exchanges now, they weren't friendly, heated infact.


DayoKanu is just a fool. When i was telling him that Bayern had plateaued, the mumu was pontificating about how Bayern were about to create a dynasty that would dominate Europe through Pep for centuries to come. He threw caution to the wind. Showed no restraint like the indecorous charlatan he is. It shall not be well with him.

Interesting to see A40 and Raumdeuter doing a 360 to term Pep's tenure a failure.

You know well I'm no fan of LVG but I don't support this nonsense from De gea. This has Mendes( De gea's agent) all over it. He's trying to force our hand into certainty in signing Jose and this is not a bad thing but he's going about it the wrong way. Players shouldn't possess that kind of power especially in determining the fate of a manager. Player's having that much power hardly end well; see what happened at Chelsea for example.

Why are you acting confused?

1. I told you we scored plenty goals when everyone was fit. That is why I gave you fixtures from mid September to November.
Who is acting confused? undecided You said we scored plenty of goals in the PL during that period and i just proved you wrong. How can you consider those goals ''plenty''? Then you claimed we could have won the title that way. That's so erroneous.
2. When considered that we fought our way from lower positions when we had injuries, to the top of the league when we had fit defenders, then we could have gone to win the league if everyone stayed fit.
This is full bullsh1t. I have proved we weren't capable when everyone was fit and you're still inferring nonsense from falsehood.
3. We recovered the gap between us and Leicester, City, Arsenal and West Ham within a short time when we had fit players, we close the gap and overtook everyone. If we had Jones and Valencia we should have beaten Leicester to go top permanently the next week. Even during Ferguson, we always came from behind to go top around Christmas. Injuries and trimmed squad ruined it.
LVG is not Fergie. How do you even come up with these bizarre assumptions? Such ''IFs'' and IFs. We have never won 7 games in a row with LVG. Our best run is just 6 games, it's 100% certain we lose or draw after that. He's simply not capable on going on those kind of runs that can win us the league or help us in recovering positions. So stop making baseless assumptions.
4. Darmian and Mephis were not regular that period. Mephis was sent to the bench by Marital as Rooney took top 9. Valencia went to right back, although Darmain had occasional appearances on the left.
Memphis started almost every PL game but i think got dropped in the Everton (October) game but afterwards he still started games like Watford and had a lot of cameos in that period. He was quite regular, fact!
Darmian had bounced Valencia from his position for as long as could remember. Valencia only replaced him some halfs/sometimes when Darmian is playing poorly or getting skinned by ''tricksy'' wingers (saint's match for example). Darmian was used for as both RB and LB in fact. He was a regular in that period we discussed (far more than Valencia), Fact!
However, no matter the arrangement of players, there is no disputing the fact that we got our best results that period.
Those ''best results'' are simply not enough to challenge for the PL title. What if i told you that our best run of results this season was not during that period? You didn't really think this out, did you?
Elampiro, i knew why i told you not to go on. This argument simply won't go your way because it's so wrong in extreme proportions and it's best you moved on from it. Good night bro.

We were top of the league on November 21st, after all the outstanding matches were played, only Leicester were able to overtake us. So we were second. Considering the gap we covered at the time from lower position we instally occupied, we were destined for favorite to win the league. Our next opponent was Leicester away, Rojo, Valencia and Jones had suffered injuries in three successive matches just before that game. Valencia in 0-0 draw with City, Jones in 2-1 over Watford. Valencia was our best player against City, and Jones absence was immediately felt when he left the pitch against Watford.

Against Leceister, Vardy went to play on the side of Blind. Once Blind went to take corner kick, Vardy capitalised and scored from a counter. Something that wouldn't have been possible if we had Valencia in right back instead of McNair.
Simple question; were we ever top of the the table after every team had played the same number of matches? NO!
We were simply never capable of that. We never actually lead the PL table for even a match week, and that's a fact. Correct me if i'm wrong. So how could we have won the league when we never looked capable of doing it just for once even with the full squad as you claimed?
Confirm yourself.
http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/league-table.html?season=2015-2016&timelineView=played&matchNo=14&tableView=CURRENT_STANDINGS
After the Leicester game we went 5 matches without winning a match.
We drew West Ham
Lost to Bournemout
Lost to Norwich
Lost to Stoke
Drew struggling Chelsea

We took 2 points out of 15. This was when Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Rooney got injured. Then Schweinsteiger and Young soon joined.


Also, ehen we went to the top of the league, Mephis and Darmain were not regular. Valencia was our right back while Martial was sent to left wing on Rooney's return from two match absence due to injury. Rooney missed one UCL game and one league match, then Martial played 9 while Mephis played 11. But on his return, Mephis was dropped, also Blind was dropped for Phil Jones.
Memphis and Darmian were as regular as it got. Do you want me to state the number of matches they started?
I don't know the exact moments these injuries occurred but i remembered clearly they were never at the same time. I would get back to you on this when i can confirm this.

-How do you mean we were scoring just a goal per match. Look at out form on the attached screenshot. Also, Rooney had hit form in the second half of the season scoring or/and assisting in every match for about 8*matches before he went out completely. If not for the injury he surely would have continued in that form. And we were getting results that period too, even as we were still without our key defenders.
Why did you include other competitions? Cold feet already? cheesy
We're strictly discussing the PL here bro and now you're gonna get exposed.
Before our collapse to Bournemouth in December, we scored 20 goals in 15 matches. That's about 1.3 goals per game and that's average at best. You don't win PL titles with such a poor goal average. We failed to score any goal in 4 matches and scored a single goal in another 4 matches only during that period. We failed to score in the 1st half of so many games. In general we weren't as good in scoring as you are trying to falsely claim. See my screenshots attached as proof.

***off topic****

Ibime you read something related to business right? Please explain this stuff to me, my economics is quite rusty

Nigeria is said to be a mono-economy, dependent on oil, but oil is not the largest contributor to our GDP! It contributes only about 14% while Agriculture contributes about 21%.

I know Nigeria economy depends on oil, but after seeing this, it became confusing.
By mono economy they mean Nigeria's economy is very dependent on a particular commodity, oil in this case. Crude oil/gas sector accounts for over 90% of our total exports and the volume of that exports is important to the economy. That's why Nigeria is so dependent on oil; it's our major source of revenue, not agriculture. The total volume trade of Agriculture might be more than the oil but we don't earn significant income from it externally. We consume far from than we export from it.

GDP however is a term used to describe the total volume of an economy and it's more than just exports.

I'm not 1bime but i'm just trying to help.

We fought ourselves to top of the league the only time we have about 90% players fit.

We started the season with some injuries, but when everyone came back (except Shaw) we went to the top. We had played the top teams at the time, we were looking to win all our matches in December (easy fixtures) when injuries hit the team. No thanks to Gaal who ensured we prosecuted the league with fewest first team players.
We were once on top the PL table but i remember that some other teams had outstanding matches to play an that was the reason. I doubt we were ever 1st position after every team playing the same number of matches. You are really overrating our performances in the beginning of the season. We were stumbling to 1-0 wins, struggling to score goals in various matches, especially in the first half and we had silly results like drawing to Newcastle at home, getting done away by Swansea who later sacked their coach when it was obvious they were battling relegation. Shaw injury happened in mid September and didn't really affect our results because our collapse was fated in December. These events are not synonymous with a title challenger.
We fell back on such players who were not psychologically ready for first team war, Love, Jackson, Pereira, Wilson, McNair. We supplemented these kids with players who ordinary should be in our bench, Darmian, Lingard, Mephis.

We lost easy matches in December and January. That was it.
So far some of those kids have performed better than those they replaced. See Rashford and Rooney for example.
Darmian and Memphis were starters in United team during the time we had good results( August-December) so i don't know what you are on about here by saying they should have been on the bench. And remind me who was our CF during this period? It was the same old Rooney who was struggling to score goals and you believed he would have led us to the title with his goals as a CF when he has never performed such an act in a title winning United team with even better players. Or was it a rookie in the then 19 old Martial who just arrived in a new league that you expected to do that? We were struggling to beat relegation contender FFS, struggling with goals and stumbling to wins. That was when Old trafford started booing LVG. We got steamrolled 3-0 by Arsenal in that same period and you're deluding yourself thinking we were good then. It was only a matter of time the wins stopped coming and the goals dried up even more.
This is too easy for me. Our first XI( even with everyone fit) was not good enough to win the league. No amount of revisionism from you can change that.

I ran into some Arsenal fans, I heard them saying United would have beaten West Ham comfortably if Fellaini was available. They said United lost the match to aerial battle and physical battle.

I think when we are buying players again, height and ability to jump, head, run, should be considered along other qualities. Gaal said we have the smallest players in the league.

We were very poor in defending and attacking set plays last season. This season is even worse. Few goals from set plays, and many goals conceded from set plays. I remember two matches in almost same period when we conceded very late goals immediately Fellaini was substituted, one of the matches was against Leicester. At the end those needless points dropped came back to hurt us.

I have a feeling if we had 80-90% of our senior players fit all the time, we could have won the league. We didn't concede from set play when Luke Shaw was fit and we had almost the whole team fit.

We wouldn't have won the league even if everyone remained fit. Please don't do this to yourself.

Lol!

Stop picking out one error in a multitude.

Zlatan moved from Juve to Inter to Barca and from Barca to AC Milan.


But in Italy because of the shared ownership of players and some other dynamics they usually have transfer of players from a top club to another top club

Hernanes moved from Inter to Juve
Andrea Bertolacci moved from Roma to AC Milan
People with ''high IQ'' don't make such silly errors. It's a simple transfer fact not some conjecture or opinion.
I don't need to discuss everything. For example in Italy when Juventus had the calciopoli scandal, a lot of players moved to other clubs even their rivals but it's a complication i won't necessarily discuss. When i discussed the difficulty about players moving to their rivals in the leagues, i didn't use a single league to explain my point. He moved against my assertion by giving examples in Italy, but not for every league i stated.
So why do i need to disprove every of his examples? I even stated earlier that there are exceptions but it's rare and there have been fewer in recent times but he just quoted a part of my post to argue with when the entire thing makes complete sense.

If you wanna take sides with him and get involved in the debate, that's fine but please don't tell me what to do if you don't understand the whole situation.
