LostMyZeal:
Now our opponents have every reason to respect us

See as these palace slaves dey shake

I can sniff the fear from my screen omo


Anyway, the tempo of the game is too high and we need to hold the ball more, esp at the midfield

Get in VDB let there be creativity from that Midfield

This kick and run dey taya person abeg

Look how we're whipping in crossses hoping Ororo will get on the end of them

We need creative midfielders badly!!!

That headed layoff Ronaldo put on Bruno’s plate. I couldn’t believe my eyes how high Ronaldo outjumped his marker.

Bruno should have scored.

slimghost:
We are playing some good football here man. Dalot and Telles finally getting games.

Dalot with some delicious crosses. I don’t know how we aren’t 6 goals up already.

United have won more balls in the final third in this game than we did throughout under Ole.

These boys better conserve their energy and not burn themselves out before the end of the game.

Nezzjnr:
Hmmmmm

Maguire and Lindelof

Edited

No need to panic. He’s only had one training session with the squad. There’s no real need to change a winning team at least for now.

We should get 3 points here easily debarring Maguire brainfarting. Varane’s injury also seems to be never ending.

Has Shaw followed Ole to Norway?

patrickmuf:
Make this Messi vs Ronaldo argument die down, we have a game upcoming...

Predict your line up.

adisaaowala:
You need therapy

He needs more than therapy, he needs brain surgery.

People are arguing Ronaldo forces himself to outscore his team mates as an excuse. Isn’t that what every player contracted to a club should be doing?

Messi at a farmer’s league is finding it difficult to score goals against part time bakery workers and Uber drivers but it’s Ronaldo’s fault cos he forces himself to outscore team mates.

This is the gutter level football punditry has turned to with these MessiBots.

makjo900:
Don't be stupid everyday of your life, we all know Ronaldo forces himself to outscore his team mates and will wait for tap ins which is completely different from who Messi is. Ronaldo rejoined a league, a team he played for more than 8 years. I guess Barcelona is also Argentina, Most of you guys are bunch of dead brains

He forced himself to outscore his team mates? You are one of the reasons why two siblings should not make babies together.

What’s the meaning of forcing himself to outscore his team mates? How many goals has Benzema or Bale scored since Ronaldo left Real Madrid? Has Benzema ever won the Pichichi?

Then you stupidly went on to mention Argentina where Messi has 80 goals in 160 games. If he was scoring 1 goal in every 2 games at Club level, he would never have won any ballon d’Or. The difference between Messi at Barca and Messi at Argentina is like day and night.

Ronaldo maintains his consistency throughout the teams he’s played for. He has 62.5% goal/game ratio for a very talentless Portugal team. Messi has 50% for the most talented generation in Argentina. It’s shocking that Messi consistently played with Tevez, Aguero, Milito, Higuain, Di Maria, Riquelme, Crespo, etc with only one trophy to show for it.

Disgraceful!

elampiro:
Illimitable has been so wrong on Mourinho.

I am wrong about Jose cos he lost to the champions but you have been 100% right about Moyes who’s lost to league champions throughout his 22-year career.

#Logic101.

Nezzjnr:
Oboi E no go funny if we lose today oo

Ole made losing to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford an annual festival.

If we lose today, it’s on Ole and the criminal back four he’s managed to assemble in the last 3 years.

AWB, Maguire and Shaw shouldn’t be playing for any team in the top 6.

makjo900:
A player just got a new country, new club at aged 34 and you expect him to hit the ground running immediately. If he had done just that then you would go back to your usual "farmers league". You guys are jokers

Ronaldo must be 22 years of age then, for him to be scoring as frequently as he is doing right now.

If Ronaldo had moved to PSG, he would have at least 30 goals by now with the brilliant support system in Mbappe and Neymar.

It has always been suspected that Messi is a system player that could only thrive in one team(Barcelona). Ronaldo is the almighty formula that would still score regularly whether he plays for Stoke or Burnley or Juventus.

Havertz10:
Lol how old are you? Look at the kind of nonsense that you are thinking like an insecure person that prefers to pivot responsibilities instead of owning his mistakes

No wahala, since you want to dive into this topic , lets dissect it


Cheating particularly in relationship isn’t an unexplainable phenomenon, its actually very simple to understand and predict, people refuse to accept this because they don’t want to believe that they aren’t enough for someone, show me a picture of any couple with small context and i will point openings for any interested man, we men are messing up big time, if we dont wake up quick to our emotional lackings in particularly , women will take most of us for a ride, some women have perfected cheating that you wouldn't ever find out

No matter how perfect a guy assumes that he is, there is a possibility that he isnt enough for someone, we men like to claim that there is always a man tired of a fine girl, its swings both ways brother


In the past our forefathers used traditional threats to scare women into being faithful, instead of them to wonder why does a woman cheat and find ways to mitigate it, they simply assumed that its inherent in them like men but that is far from the truth, men cheat because its a socially accepted habit and because there is no stigma attached to it, women on the other hand have to face such stigmas and social rejection, plus the added claims of spiritual implications and that kept most grounded

Fast forward to today and its a different story, women are cheating rampantly and its not a case of the woman being a bad person, its a case of the man simply not being good enough, similar to how a woman isnt enough for us men but unlike men that do it for social bragging, women do it because they seek happiness

Social dynamics is the main issue, men like girls that are above their class or share similar class with them, If you have ever dated a girl that felt like she was fortunate to have you, you will understand what I mean, if you show her small love, she will threat you like a god and worship, you are more than enough for her but try that with a girl that is of the same social class as you and her demands and expectation are higher and requires more effort, if you don’t meet up with her demands she will have openings for another man to fill, most men assume that all women want is money and when you give them money they will be fine but its only a woman that hasnt seen money before that can be controlled like that, try that with a woman that grew up with money and she will quickly find someone to fill the gaps that you have left ajar in her life, even the one that didnt grow up with financial security when that is attained, their demands shift, thats what nfl players and rich men dont see, for women its more than sex and money, Love is a baby, it needs constant attention and care to grow, its shameful that women understand love more than us men

you have be an active participant in her life particularly if you are of similar social footing, you have to constantly adjust to keep each other happy and intuned, most women have what they want in a man but age, conditions and timing can force them to manage whatever they get and if that man also married her for the aesthetics not love, he will not participate in that marriage, leaving an opening for another man that is attentive to her real needs to fill


its not a matter of net worth, sex or looks, if the social dynamics in your relationship aren't optimized, she will cheat on you and you will never know, if she doesn't, she hasn't met anyone worth the act yet or she is still under the control of traditional social structures in nigeria but with the rise of educated women in nigeria, men will go from predators to prey in a few generations

no matter how much a woman loves you, she can have crush on other men, its how valuable she finds you that limits her, dont blame women, we men need to do more to be social gods that our ego demands

Your comment is a web of contradictions.

You opined even the most perfect guy can be cheated on and then goes on to say men are messing up cos they are slumbering when it comes to emotional lacking.

There’s nothing anyone can do about infidelity. Even the best relationship coaches have been in 5-6 different marriages and majority of them is because of infidelity.

Human beings are way too complex to be put in a box that what you do is somehow the reason for your marital dysfunction. There are many useless irresponsible men with the most loyal partners and there are also tonnes of perfect husbands with whorës as wives.

There’s no one size fits all and psychologists have done a terrible job for centuries looking for easy answers. I call it the streetlight effect. An alcoholic searches for his missing keys not where he dropped them but where the light is. Human beings have a tendency to look for the truth in the places where it is easiest to search rather than the places where it’s likely to be.

And this is why when a woman cheats, the first thing everyone says is - the husband must have denied her some attention, some sęx or he doesn’t take care of her whereas this woman is just risk averse and her infidelity has nothing to do with the way she’s treated, she just wants to eat her cake and have it.

Rangnick has to buy Haaland.

He discovered him, he should have some clout or influence over Haaland’s next club.

Havertz10:
instead of you to ruminate on an opinion and weight its literary value, you are so blinded by your self assumption of intelligence that you dismiss my point, replacing it with yours with nothing to support yours but because you said it

There’s no literary value or logical value in what you said about women. There are a million reasons why a woman would cheat on you. Majority of the time, it’s not even about you.

Some women don’t even know why they cheat. You ask them why they did it and they would say he’s perfect, gives them everything but they still screwed the janitor in their workplace while her husband is an NFL player.

In 2021, if you still think infidelity always correlates neatly with marital dysfunction then you are a möron. And this is why many of you take performance enhancing drugs or steal in your workplace to satisfy a woman that would still fück your pot-bellied gateman anyways.

Havertz10:
If someone manages to Bleep my wife, I will carry that secret to my grave

No greater insult than that, you are not enough, her life had openings for another

An average man should be too much for 10 women self, talkless of being unable to fill the heart of only 1
Woman

A woman will only cheat because you are not enough

And what has this gotta do with Man Utd?

Why do these idiotic Chelsea fans come here to write nonsense? Do this thread not have a moderator? If you want to confess about someone fücking your wife, get a shrink.

And no, women aren’t a monolith. Women will cheat for a thousand reasons more than you not being man enough. Some of you just open your mouths wahhhhhhhhh - like Boko Haram’s pit latrine.

hoopLA:
This is false.
Both were Team B coaches of Barca and Real respectively for years.
They cut their teeth in management before answering the call to the senior sides.

Mr. Analyst,learn to tell the truth instead of coloring facts to suit your narratives.
All this Complete sports analysis won't carry you anywhere.

All the prominent coaches today and in the past began their coaching career at lower leagues.

Lie-nus Mba.

Pep was Barca team B coach in 2007
Ole was Man Utd reserve coach in 2008.

They have a similar years of experience but look at where Pep is today, now look at Ole. It’s like comparing Ferrari to a Skoda.

In the last 15 years, only Solskjaer allowed Arsenal to beat Man Utd in the league at Old Trafford. Even the much-maligned Moyes managed to tonk Arsenal.

Elampiro talks about entertainment football. He must like S&M. How does anyone derive pleasure from not winning a trophy and then call it entertainment?

I am starting to suspect Elampiro is a ghost.

hoopLA:
Pogba is on his way out and it's showing in his attitude

The wise thing to do is to plan for life after him.

Don’t worry, Rangnick would change his mind by signing an elite defensive midfielder to complement Pogba.

Pogba has nowhere to go. PSG doesn’t want him, I am not sure Madrid want him. Who’s he gonna play for? Marseille?

hoopLA:
Yeah the competition for some problem places will heat up.

Pampered babies like Rashford and Martial and Pogba to some extent will have to sit up,even though the one stuck on 7 assists since kemgbe is halfway out of the door with his BS

Jesse Lingard is also someone who will fancy his chances.
VDB too.

Si everyone would likely need to give their best.

I hope he's brave enough to bench ANYONE not performing.

Don’t be grouping Pogba together with Martial. Pogba just needs a good manager to set the midfield in such a way that suits him and forward players that can fill his space when Pogba surges forward.

Pogba is our second most hard working player after Fred. This slander against Pogba needs to stop at some point. Shaw, Maguire, AWB, Martial, are the culprits.

Joezinho:
Ronaldo the king is such a huge problem and the cause for United's issues.

Absolutely HUGE problem.

He’s the biggest problem we have. Imagine scoring an ordinary brace against the gooners instead of scoring 10 goals.

We need to sell him back to Juventus. Let’s persist with Martial/Rashford and bin the guy that has 800 career goals.

Martial is better than Ronaldo, don’t believe the hype.

AnfieldFan:
Personally, I'm talking strictly EPL here, I believe the EPL is much tougher now compared to when Fergie Wenger held sway...
More TV rights money, better players generally...
I'm not looking to debate this, this is just my opinion...

The PL was tougher then than now. The quality of the players then were also better. Henry, Ruud, Ronaldo, Rooney, Shearer, are better than any striker in the PL today.

Rio, Terry, Campbell, Carvalho, Stam, etc are better than any defender in the PL today.

Vieira, Keane, Makelele, Essien, Lampard, Gerrard, Scholes, etc are better than any midfielder in the PL today.

It’s a myth that there are quality players today than back then. El Neny and Partey wouldn’t even make the bench of the great Arsenal sides I watched. McFred would be ball boys in the United squad I once knew.

There’s a reason many people think those clubs have gone down drastically in recent years - due to the poor quality of the players in their squad. The managers back then were better, the players were also loads better.

AnfieldFan:
I don't think you understood what the guy wrote....
You're affirming the things he stated...

The guy wrote nonsense, no need to polish his turd for him.

What you new generation do not fully understand is that only league winners originally played in the CL. The rules were changed later to accommodate multiple teams from the same league.

So when you people say SAF or Wenger should have won 25 CL trophies, it tells me you aren’t intelligent. If the rule still existed, Pep wouldn’t have participated in the CL he won in 2009 cos Barcelona didn’t win La Liga in 2008.

Arsenal wouldn’t have participated in CL since 2004, United since 2013, Liverpool would have a period of 30 years(1990-2020) without participation. Do you now get the picture?

Manesalah:
Matthias Sammer won ballon d'or too the previous year,does that make borrussia Dortmund a big club in Europe then?.....your point is?

They just had 2 or 3 star and worldclass players like psg now

with Messi winning ballon d'or as a psg player,are they automatically a bigger UCL club with pedigree than chelsea?

So Dortmund that won CL in 96/97 were a small club
Barcelona that won CL in 92 were also a small club.

Meanwhile, Man City that have never won CL are a big club.

Manesalah:
Guy you no get point with this screenshot....Barcelona were a small club in Europe just like FC Porto now with one UCL before ronaldinho made them a powerhouse and they started dominance......clubs that had amunike,gbenga okunowo then,wtf was brondby

Barcelona were a small club in Europe?

My initial assessment of you was dead accurate. There’s no point dragging this any further.

Barcelona had produced a ballon d’Or winner in Fat Ronaldo in 1996. Minus the Cristiano’s Ballon d’Or of 2008, no PL player has won it since Owen in 2001(20 years ago).

But Barcelona were a small club?

Manesalah:
With this point of yours now, ISNT FOOTBALL NOW MORE COMPETITIVE? MOURINHO WON IT THEN BUT CANT NOW WIth MORE RESOURCES,

YOU COULD GET TO A UCL FINAL WITH RED STAR BELGRADE,VALENCIA, LEVERKUSEN but now?

WOULDNT KLOPP,CONTE,PEP,TUCHEL beat,fvck and pass Ferguson around like an ALLEN JUNCTION OLOSHO if he was to be Manyoo coach this era

Guy you too mumu and dull that you are contradicting yourself....GO ENROL FOR NIGHT SCHOOL

None of them can touch prime Mourinho.

Klopp has 1 PL title in 6 seasons and this is without Ferguson and Wenger.

Ranieri that couldn’t win with Chelsea came from the wilderness like John the Baptist to dump on modern PL managers and he won a PL title at the age of 120.

You people aren’t smart. The bulk of French players that won the World Cup in 98 played for Arsenal(Vieira, Pires, Henry, Petit, etc). The equivalent now is having Pogba, Kante, Mbappe, Griezmann in the same team.

Do you know how hard that team would be? Now the best Arsenal can boast of is Xhaka or Saka and you think it’s harder to win now than then. You people need to watch more football of the olden days. They had way more quality then than now.

Android17:
His point stands. If it showed his mettle to win with Porto, then winning with Madrid and Chelsea should have been a walk in the park in more recent times. He failed, which implies that it was easier to win then than it is to win now.

Man Utd’s group in 98/99 season.

It’s easier to win then than now?

SMH.

Android17:

His point doesn’t stand cos Mourinho later proved his Porto success wasn’t a fluke with Inter Milan’s treble.

Inter hasn’t played a semifinal since then which indicates it was perhaps the greatest overachievement in modern history.

Mourinho has always thrived as an underdog. He needs a siege mentality to get into the heads of his players to overperform. This is why he often chooses difficult jobs all the time.

No team successfully defended their CL trophy between 1993 and the time Zidane did in 2017. In 24 years, all the great sides including Bayern, Madrid, Pep’s Barca, etc couldn’t win back to back…..

And you think it was easier to win then? Are you actually aware there used to be 2 group stages in those years? Lmaooooo. CL is easy to win now than then. There’s a dearth of talents these days……look at the crap quality of players playing CL these days.

SMH.

Olofo!!! You go Dey dub curse words and phrase from Reddit and internet because an oxygen deprived low brain cell person like you cant come up with that.....

You have cerebral palsy which is the reason for your poor comprehension....Doing an head to head between coaches shouldn't be limited to a particular country,you retard!!!

How come mourinho couldn't win UCL with all the unlimited resources available to him at Chelsea and Madrid,didn't even get to a final...

Wenger....0 for 20+ years

SAF......just 2 for 25+ years

OZWOR nu loko!!!! Ogun a gbu eh wagbon!!!

He did with Porto(on a net spend of £12m), he won UEFA cup the previous season as well. None of your modern idols can come close to that achievement.

Let your modern idols try winning CL with Porto on a stipend before you start foaming in the mouth. And you said I have cerebral palsy? Lordy Lord!!

I am surprised you even know the meaning of the word cerebral palsy - and this coming from someone that was conceived at the back of the giant speakers in a Saheed Osupa concert??

I think I underrated you a bit. I am starting to get a feeling that the standard of education in Nigeria has improved greatly. There’s no way a child born in your circumstance would know a condition called cerebral palsy.

You are a miracle baby.

Manesalah:
Mugu,the fact that you couldn't counter my point about head to head between the coaches but resulted to personal abuse shows how dense you are.....

Pep Dey flog SAF like small pikin especially with the most one-sided UCL finals
ever (twice)

Klopp sack mourinho for Chelsea and manyoo and beat am as spurs coach,still thrash am as Madrid coach with an unknown lewy then who scored 4goals

Arsene Wenger still collect thrashing from pep and klopp

Nigga what and where are your points,OZWOR!!!

You are a stupid person if you are comparing Pep’s Barca to managing a PL side.

Pep’s Barca won CL in his debut season with a bunch of academy players, Pep’s City hasn’t won CL in 6 years after spending one billion pounds.

Same manager, different teams. Therefore, your H2H theory does not hold water as Barcelona isn’t a PL side. This is why doctors tell pregnant mothers to take their pills so that idiocy wouldn’t affect the baby in the womb.

It’s quite obvious some pills were missing while you were curled up in a fetal position. If the pills weren’t missing then adequate diet wasn’t consumed throughout your entire residency in the uterus.

Long story short, you are a retārd!

Manesalah:
Pele ooo Grandpa,I can see your tears behind your epistles,didn't even bother to read them all....tuchel,klopp,pep and Conte head to head Vs Wenger/SAF/mo....I want to check something

If you didn’t bother to read it, why quote it?

On top of the stupidity you were born with, you have contrived to add pathological lying to your woes?

Who brought this ruminant animal here?

Manesalah:
Those three coaches you mentioned had just 2 UCL title amongst them in total from 1985(Ferguson debut if I am correct) till 2021(mourinho's last game if I am correct) in England....

Ferguson struggled for the first five years before winning a trophy and almost regulated manyoo in the process,who will give him that time now......

The gap between the first two(manyoo and assnal) and others then was hoooooge just like the Spanish farmers league,Bundesliga and Uber eats farmers league before Abrahamovic brought his dirty mafia money and city brought their Arab oil money and the small clubs have huge money from TV rights to sign quality players for lots of money hence the competition....


Maureenhoe,Mr Bean and Purple nose will suffer in this age and time with how competitive EPL is now….....

STOP BEING A NOSTALGIA MERCHANT

It seems you were born yesterday.

The league is so competitive, none of your modern idols have gone a season unbeaten, won a treble or won 3PL titles in a row.

None of your modern idols went a whole season conceding just 15 PL goals in 38 games or keeping 25 PL clean sheets in a season.

None of your modern idols can even manage to win a European double(CL + PL) in a single season. Wenger/SAF/Jose combination is better than what you have today by a thousand miles.

If it’s easy, let Pep complete a PL season without a loss after spending a billion pounds on a squad. If Pep can’t succeed in the task, let Klopp do it so we can test their mettle.

You indomie generation football watchers never cease to amaze me with the amount of idiotic assertions that pour from your mouths. It’s almost as if some of you have screws loose in your craniums.

A40:
Messi did basically what Alexis Sanchez did and Alexis Sanchez didn't win Balon D'or. Same stats or thereabout, same Copa America. That tells you what you need to know about these polling booth awards. As a player your priority should simply be to win trophies, hanging your head on individual awards is a waste of time

My sentiments exactly.

Plenty of people won Copa America(a completion of 8 nations) in the past and none of them became Ballon d’Or as a result.

The moment Messi won it, the status of Copa America suddenly became the toughest competition in history. This is the same competition that used to invite Japan and other nonsense countries to give it more life.

They hosted it 4 times in 6 years so that Messi could get plenty of opportunities to win it. They turned a usually 4-year competition into Carling Cup(annual event) so that the GOAT of Paris could at least get more opportunities to win it.

What a shame!
