Welcome to the boys though we’re supposed win the game but we meeuvve...

Unto the Next!!!

Please who are we facing after scaling this stage??

They'll do another draw after this round

hensben:
How are we collecting wotowoto since Enzo came? Moreover the team have been hit with injury, they are just returning now and the coach switch to his usual formation. I’m talking of Enzo’s overall performance so far and not just Chelsea that he came few weeks ago. No one is saying Kante is coming to unlock Enzo rather him playing CDM is limiting his offensive prowess because he is instructed to sit in front of the defense, can Pogba play CDM if at all, but Enzo can play CDM, CM and CAM perfectly, go watch him at Benfica and the just concluded wc. Did Pogba won his individual awards in one season or during the cause of many seasons hence my point that when Enzo get to 30 before we will compare their individual honors or you compare them with when Pogba was 21. I watched Pogba keenly from his juve days, he has been a roaming midfielder that doesn’t have a defining role due to his tactical indiscipline, he is a luxury player.

Na just new toy dey shack you.
See as you dey shout "watch Enzo for benfica" like say you watch am during his 6 months stint there. If no be WC, I guess most of you lots claiming Enzo likeness here wouldn't know him even at benfica.

Pogba overdid at Juventus did 10x what Enzo have done in either benfica or Chelsea so far. Even his below the expectation stint with Man u isn't that worse off in terms of skill or individuality.

He can play CDM yet Una still go switch to 343. Abeggi, no make me laugh


Thank God Pogba win WC, if not I trust Una to use "have Pogba won WC" to pass Una agenda

mostob:
Martinelli was once labelled an 'animal' by one of his teammates. He will be fine sha..

Abi...
I believe he'll be fine too

hensben:
Pogba is good but overrated, he is average without the ball whereas, Enzo is good with or without the ball. Most managers will prefer Enzo. Pogba need massive protection if you want to see his best whereas, Enzo can protect himself and cover for others. Pogba is a luxury player that lack tactical discipline Enzo is opposite. Lastly, Pogba is 30 while Enzo is 21 so wait until Enzo get to 30 and then we will compare their individual awards by then.

So you didn't know you'll wait till 30 before you say Enzo is better than Pogba shey?

Same Enzo Una dey wait make Kante come before him really cook. That's the same Kante Pogba shone and won WC with.

Same Enzo wey Una midfield dey collect like wotowoto sotey Una switch to 343... The same formation shielding Jorginho is now used to shield Enzo.

Yet Enzo better pass Pogba. Una funny for here walahi

Kilishihunter:
Was it Romero that made conte lose to Sheffield and wolves these past few weeks? The earlier you accept he's mid in European competitions the better, Can't believe I was deceived by his inter remontada , Dude even bottled the conference league ffs

I can never be deceived by that dude. Person wey need over dozens of EPL washed up (and old) players to win serie A. The next season he still demanded for another millions to be spent on the team for them to re-succeed like say inter na oil money club. All these while, he's been flopping in UCL

I just laughed last season when some people for our thread they wail say Spurs get Conte while we're still with Arteta. That guy na just poor man Mou.

mostob:
Our front three today will likely be Martinelli, Nelson and Saka. Jesus will come in as sub.
Turner
Gabriel (Arteta may not give Kiwi his full debut at this stage of the competition)
Tomiyasu (Zinchenko might play a part)
White
Holding
Jorginho
Xhaka
Vieira

Lol, if GJ comes in as a sub it definitely means he's over rushed back. I for one would really don't want him to play today, hopefully it'll be Sunday (likely as a sub).

The Front 3 like you said it's okay. ESR can come in and give Saka a breather (Nelson will take over his wing while ESR will play left).

Na just Martinelli go suffer am. I just hope he won't be fatigued cos it definitely showed deep in the 2nd half against Bournemouth

AnfieldFan:
Lol...We no d make noise...We no d find trouble...We just d our lane...

I no talk say make Una find trouble na but Una deserve to make noise at least for Una thread. 7-0 no easy o, especially against a big rival

mostob:
Arteta said they won't rush him back. He took part in contact training today though but full integration will be after international break.

With the injuries to both Nketiah and Trossard, I think GJ might be rushed back especially with this full training .

Make we see how today and weekend go be sha.

mostob:
Gabriel Jesus took part in training today.
Tierney, Trossard and Nketiah all absent.
I don't understand this Tierney again o.... is he injured or he just didn't come to training.

If GJ took part in full training with the first team squad, then I'll expect him to be ready for weekend match at least

germaphobe:
i thought the liverpool game should be in april?, why are we talking about it like it's our next match?, just because they trashed utd.
man utd under "10hang" is all about counter attacking and fast transition which in reality liverpool is a master in, coupled with liverpool die hard pressing they(utd) stood no chance especially during the second half.
man utd and arsenal are two diff teams with diff type of football pattern, so why should be worry "too much" about who would pocket sallah when we played the first leg with no notable left back and still had him in check. arteta is a tactician and surely he would come up with something when the time comes.

Well, fair points

Let's just take it one match at a time

daveP:
I dunno Arteta's man marking plans for Salah. I dunno his style for fullbacks marking, but we'll need one for Salah. Those guys are lethal on counter attack and we have conceded more goals from it than even setpieces this season.

Lol.. sure but it'll still be Zinny that will play that role.
Ordinarily, we're a dominant team and hardly teams expose us on counters due to our good pressing and very fast defenders.

No worries, make we just deal with our matches first though before getting to Liverpool

Excel70:
I've no doubt they will finish in top 4.I still remember the season Allison scored.They are very good at comebacks and rising from the "dead".

Yeah, that was 2 seasons ago.

Exactly like this season where they were disappointing, and they still finished 3rd

ObaIgwe1:
At a time I thought Liverpool has very little chance of making Top 4 this season, right now they are just 3 points behind 4th Spurs with a game at hand and better goal difference than Spurs...

It was a good thing Liverpool board didn't get too emotional and sack Klopp when things were looking south.

True... I always have hope that they'll always make top 4 even with all their travails and I still believe they'll do.
But it's a testament for the trust they had for Klopp which he really earned and fortunately, they did not become emotional and sack him.

mostob:
Because Tomi, and not Zinny played that match. Zinny will no doubt give us that dominance and control but Salah will practically have a field day. What a selection headache!

That's same thing I'm saying.

Didn't your heart beat when the match wanted to start and you saw Tomi played Lb?

mostob:
Not really bro. Let them have the ball. We will do the pressing and quick transition. That's like the inverse of their tactic.

Hmmm

Na wa ooo.
Win, draw, lose, even thrashing.... This thread still deh very silent.

Guys how far na.... Wetin dey sup and why Una abandon Una thread laidis na

iamoyindamola:
Salah will have a free day

So we thought in the first leg especially when we saw Tomi starting.

Well, let that time comes. But one thing is certain in my own opinion, I'll never bench Zinny in this form for anybody even if he's meeting prime Messi and Robben together

iamoyindamola:
Zinny should not start abeg
Tomi held Salah, I am sure klopp will change tactics

Even if you're the coach, you'll start Zinny.

One of your best performing players shouldn't play a big match?

iamoyindamola:
Yes but I don't think they will

Okay.. better

daveP:
Laziness
Fatigue
Indiscipline

These made Liverpool triumph with the scoreline. I doubt it will be that easy when they play us. But Salah vs Zinny/Tomi? I can't say I'm comfy. This is the Salah i know. But we would have possession. We just need to utilize the ball faster.

When that time comes, we'll surely see how far.

But one thing is certain, Zinny will start that match except being injured or suspended

.

mostob:
Make we just park bus and hit them on counter...

Lol... Fear fear

iamoyindamola:
We are in trouble when is our match against LFC again

If our squad is complete, we can force a draw. The only reason they might win us is because of Anfield but I'm not sure it'll be a humiliating scoreline.

We dominate teams and are good with pressing. Something lacking in Man u game even with their winning runs

ouzo1:
Dem knw dem selves Jare....Person go hear word small nw.

ouzo1:
See as all doz Agege analyst don run go hide nw.

Lol... Who be agege analysts again?

Na confidence and optimism na

Roland17:
Na over-skill kill monkey

ChristineC:
yeah. not sure the brand of alcohol our players drank today

swiz123:
Perhaps a Liverpool agent saw that capping and told klopp because I don't understand this kain beating.
Haba! This is too personal

I suspect so too

I mean, how fans go deh make mouth at 1-0 down say dem be king of comeback. Ontop Liverpool fa wey you never beat for anfield since 2016.

Nahh... They took it personal

oliverano:


Madrid defeated Liverpool at Anfield 5:2, United defeated Barca 2:1, Barca defeated Madrid 0:1 at Bernabau.

United fans genuinely felt they could defeat Liverpool here lol. Some thought thrashing Liverpool here was possible.

May be they thought they were Madrid!

Na wetin give dem that confidence sef

ouzo1:
We Man Utd fans for here too sabi football for keyboard,Na why be that.

see wetin the thing don cause na.

Na vex Liverpool take play diz match

oliverano:


This Is Anfield!

Like the overconfidence level from her was too much.

Beating Liverpool at least 2 goals up at ANFIELD is something one could hardly think of no matter how in form you are and how off form they are.

Not like Liverpool is even off form recently, so I'm surprised about that boldness
