Me no attack anybody. Anybody wey feel attacked na probably the maiden wey the shoe fit.

Lol... Abi??
Sha hope you ready to collect from Roma tonight?

benji93:
You self dey take that message seriously. . Of course he's won. But well he dey bottle am small.

...
Na 35cl bottling be that na

nitrogen:
Most here were just complimenting TT for a good job he’s done at Chelsea.

Okay.. Fair enough.

benji93:
If you think about it well, until he won he had some shares in the bottling company. It seemed as if he had sold most of his shares, but the recent development shows that he kept some of them .

Any coach that wins champions league, then follow it up with EPL can never be a bottler less than one year from winning ooo.

Else, all the coaches in the world na bottler be that na

Jodera you see wetin i dey talk ...

SyIvalord:
This is another proof that many people in this sports section are myopic and aren’t as smart or knowledgeable as they think they are.

They claim to have foresight but they are blinder than a bat. In their attempt to portray themselves as some kind of smartass, they expose their ignorance.

You see some people making bogus claims like “so and so will NEVER achieve so and so” and after some seasons, the person they say will never achieve a particular feat achieves it and they quickly change their stance. It’s like those critics who always told you, you’ll never make it in life but when you finally make it, they start saying shït like they always believed in you. Awon blind Bartimaeus them.

Lol... You dey vex oo.
See Attack

nitrogen:
Didn’t know that complementing a manager or player means our club should have gotten them. Hmmmmmmm!

Lol... I didn't say so na.
If you were complementing only, then I'm not referring to you

If dem say una too like vayolence una go dey vex.

Shey if una no win Europa diz season, una no go try win am next season

Leyqute:


I was just pointing that out. As long as Ole makes champions league money, no one will sack him; even if he fails to qualify out of a UCL group with Granada, Shevchenko, Young Boys, and Young Girls.

Leyqute:


It’s funny how people are reactionary and change their opinion at any moment’s notice.

Prior to Tuesday night, Thomas Tuchel wasn’t highly rated by some here but since he got a result at Bernabeu he’s suddenly better than everybody else. Watch as the complains go into overdrive should he get to the UCL finals.

Then the “United should’ve gotten him” talks will begin, “sack the coach now”, blablabla , as if as a club we don’t have issues that chokes coaches.

For me, it’s the silly dilly dallying. Stay one place make this thunder faya you nau. Shuuuu

I’m not saying don’t sack Ole, but at least if you want to replace him, get someone who his capable AND be ready to back him adequately. The team with the more robust squad won the league this season.

. The bolded is true.
Even when he was sacked by PSG, I don't remember anyone saying that that was the best time to swoop for him.

The 2nd bolded is also what most people have been saying since that people miscontrue them to mean they don't want ole to be sacked

mostob:
Also..part of the reason I don't want Nketiah is pace. We need pace up front and he can't offer that.

Bro, Nketiah offers nothing aside poaching. No part of reason there

Also, I have this gut feeling that either auba or lacazzette will start. I dunno why

Leyqute:
He actually had it worse the previous season or so. He had less points and he wasn’t sacked. I have the stats somewhere just can’t find it now

Oh.. Thought we were talking about this season.

If it is about the "binary season", I can vividly remember

SodO9:
Martinelli will play as CF then

Hopefully oo

handelex:

I just hope that 6 magic number materialize this season

KingAlabi:
If I was the SUN I will not shine on Nigeria oh

.
You no serious walai

mostob:
I know bro..just expressing my own opinion. If Balogun is not starting, then Martinelli should start.

Lol...
Arteta is our coach oo... Me I just know he'll use Nketiah.

But hopefully, I pray he surprises us tomorrow

KingAlabi:

Leyqute:
Is Klopp a failure at Liverpool?

How many EL or Carabao cup did he win before he clinched the League and UCL?

We've had that argument here na.
I can remember vividly. Most people called him a bottler before 2019 cl triumph

mostob:
Both didn't train yesterday. I will take Balogun over Nketiah tomorrow. That Nketiah is just too sluggish. We should have all the squad ready by next week because Tierney,Luiz , Auba and Laca are all back in training now. We just have to cross tomorrow's hurdle first.

No coach will throw balogun into the starting lineup when there's a striker before him.
It's sad that if auba or laca is unavailable then it's nketiah that will start.
My hope for tomorrow's match is 20%

patrickmuf:
If Lampard was in Ole's position after the board backed him in the window, he'd have been sacked. I don't see the Chelsea board tolerating a coach's failure to make the UCL knockout and failing in all the domestic cup competition...

We're in the UEL semi finals just because we failed to make UCL knock out after comfortably leading the group after 3 matches...That failure alone is enough to be sacked...

Another low point was his decision to drop our best players against Leicester City in the FA Cup quarter final when the international break was up next.

Are you sure about that? You think he won't wait till the end of the season esp if he knows the top4 is sure?

codedguy1:
I guess his finishing 3rd, semi finals in FA, EFL and Europa last season gave him leverage to go on a run like that and not get sacked.

Aside man u not having a sacking culture like Chelsea owner, ordinarily a club owner won't sack a coach with the kinda result ole has 1st half of the season.

Match day
1.. Lost 3-1 to crystal palace
2.. Lost against Tottenham
3... Lost against arsenal
All just once in a month not consecutively.
Between all those losses is wins in the league (aside draw to Chelsea).

Tell me, how do they sack such a coach?

codedguy1:
Please correct me if am wrong. Did Ole not have a bad run almost equal to what Lampard had this season?

At the beginning of the season, when season was just starting if my memory serves me right... When the Aston villa and Everton were topping the table(let's say between Sept/beginning-mid Oct).
Or am I wrong?

And he never had it bad like lampard

BARAJ92:
Ole still stand the chance of winning the Europa League.

....Which even makes the point stronger on why Ole can't be sacked midway through the season like the way some people are clamouring for.

patrickmuf:
They has been times where he has shown that he is simply not good enough and those times have come when we played matches which were all too important. When the stakes are high, he fumbles and that's it for me...

Ole is that guy that won't come last in class, he'll always be close to the top but hardly ever does he top the class...

Exactly @ the bolded. Reason why I said you can't sack someone midway through the season when he delivers result just as ole does. If he goes trophyless and the board still renews his contract then it's the board that's not serious. Oh wait! I heard the board gave him an improve contract sef .
The only thing is if only have a very bad run of results just as lampard had, then in that case he can be sacked. Cos I think Chelsea is just fortunate enough that lampard have a very bad spell of poor results while still getting confused in the process. If ole has such result and/or worse this season, he would have been sacked. But las las, like both of us agree, ole is doing just enough to secure his job. It's up to the board show ambition at the end of the season (just the way they did with van gaal even as he won the fa cup)

BlueRayDick:
miss Werner on the beat

This wan don turn Miss World na

mostob:
Luiz trained today. I will like to see him partner Mari depending on how fit he is.

And watching the training video, Balogun performed better than Nketiah in shooting drill ... I didn't see Auba . Maybe He is not fit yet.

I believe either auba or laca will start. But I'm hopeful it's auba
But I guess by next week, we'll see a full squad cos this is what Arteta said in the screen shot below.

But mehn, if neither of auba or laca don't start tomorrow, we might as well kiss Europa goodbye cos Arteta that we know must start Nketiah as top9

patrickmuf:
Maybe if I was a fan of Leicester City I'd have said yes without thinking twice but as a fan of Manchester United, the only reason I'll accept a 2nd place finish is when it comes alongside the UCL (UEL in this case) or the FA Cup...It's hard to see Barcelona/Madrid/Bayern/City keep faith with a coach that goes trophy less not because they don't know what the word progress means but because they have set a standard that must be met and when it's not met, they fire the coach just to set a precedence that it's either the top or nothing...

Second place finish and the UEL will be welcomed by me, anything less means the season is a total failure...

Lol... You misunderstood my question.
If I'm a man u fan, I know I won't be if my team finishes 2nd without any trophy. My question is this
" is it justifiable to sack Ole midway(during) through the season when you know he's in top 2 in the league even tho he's being eliminated in all cup competitions"?

Is there any club or club owner who have sacked any coach when he's in top 2 and when the season is still running?

TrebleChamp:
I don't think fan here said Mourinho over-achieved as our manager, he won the trophies in front of him and we celebrated it as fans. He failed to win the EPL and other off field behaviour, he was rightly sacked. Ole hasn't won a spoon in almost 3 seasons, if the owners are happy cos he is making money for them by qualifying for CL, should fans also be happy or call for his sack? Anytime we are having a legitimate go at Ole for his team poor performance in certain game, Olesexuals quickly bring in the Mourinho comparism by letting us know Ole is ahead of Mou in the League. Mou has been sacked, Ole should win us a trophy....

Lol... I don tell you say your own matter different, reason you hardly see me quote you with contrasting opinion to yours. At least, your own be say let Ole give you trophy whether he wants to play anyhow football or not

Joezinho:
Are you a man utd fan? I dont get it..

You spend your time here on this thread defending ole..

So tell me, why the disguise?

Lol.. I'm not a man u fan. Also, wen I meant "we" am talking about myself, king.Alabi and Sylva.lord.

And also, I don't just defend ole, my only stance is that Ole is in top 4 and there's no justifiable reason to sack him at least till the end of the season. You won't see me talking about team selections, or how ole broke records or all those stuff.

Mine is just that, ole has done enough not to be sacked midway(like some of you clamoured for). If he's sacked at the end of the season then it's justified

KingAlabi:

Na Rolan.d17 I wan troll, the guy get short circuit
Anything but this thread mehn!!

patrickmuf:
This Spurs team is not the best in recent times so I expected Mou to struggle couple with the fact that they didn't add enough quality during the Transfer Window.

In summary, Mou needs to up his game to get back to the top of football management because money is quite evenly spread among top teams thus he can't spend his way to the top (Arguable if you look at Pep and City) and most teams won't warm up to his methods in today's football...

My own is that Mourinho did his best whilst he was here and anytime the talk of those trophies are subject to discussion, his name will be mentioned. It's Ole that's here now, away from qualifying for the UCL, he needs a couple of trophies to edge his name in the club’s managerial history else he'll be forgotten in no time...

Mou really needs to up his game which is what I wholly agree, reason why I felt he underachieved with Tottenham. Tottenham isn't as bad as mourinho is making them to be. So even if I agree that they need to strengthen their squad, but I feel it's not past its best, cos a better coach will surely do better with same squad.

And as for the bolded, I agree with you. Reason why as a football fan, I'm not against the sacking of Ole as long as he doesn't win trophy. But then, you'll agree with me that it's not justifiable to sack ole during the season when he's at 2nd position right?

Take your mediocrity expectation back to your Assnal thread.

I'm not Ole sir. No carry him vex for my head
