Arsenal fan giving advice to Man Utd fans about expectation from their manager.

Irony of life.

It happens. Even the Israelites never believed Jesus will come from Nazareth

Who you wan troll for arsenal thread? We weh dey troll ourselves for there?

KingAlabi:

Lol... Why are you a man u fan?

Was Mourinho supposed to lose the UEL just because he is bigger than the competition? He came and met us in the UEL and won it for us, the only trophy that was seldom missing in our trophy cabinet.

He won the Caraboa cup and if not for the brilliance of Hazard or better put, the stupidity of Jones, he would have also won the FA Cup all that with the 3rd/4th best squad in the league.

I keep reading excuses that Ole was brought in to stabilize the team, like how badly were we doing compared to Tuchel who took over a struggling Chelsea? Why are we not hearing excuses that Tuchel was brought in to stabilize the ship? Well, it's because he has shown that you can come in and improve the confidence of players whilst still aiming for trophies but here, all we here is process, process, process...If you say Tuchel is a top manager, why then was Ole hired? Is he the first rookie (He isn't even a rookie) to be handed such a role? What experience did Zidane have before his appointment? Can you compare it to Ole's? How about Pep when he was appointed by Barcelona? Why is it that with Ole all we hear is excuses, same excuses that no one put forth for the other managers before him.

Pray tell, seeing what Mourinho achieved in his short spell here and what Ole has achieved thus far, who would you rather back in the transfer market if you called the shots?

Also, nobody according what I know was against Ole being sacked as long as a better manager will take his place. What was being said that Ole shouldn't be sacked for another rookie coach whereby the process will become longer and also he's not justifiable to sack him since his meeting the ambition of the team for making top 4 only to be replaced by another average coach.

Actually, most rookie is not all about age but experience and sense at top level. Ole and guardiola no be mates just cos ole started before guardiola. Else someone like allardyce will be more revered than klopp or zidane.
This is Ole 2nd top job in England and if man u board feels he can't take you guys any further, then he should be sacked and replaced with a better coach (since most people here agree to the fact that the squad is good enough). If this happens, I assure you no supposed "oleiin" fans will bat an eyelid about his sack

That's exactly where you missing it boss. We didn't say he should lose it. We said while that's good that he should win it, that's not the expectation you guys should have of him. Mou is a serial winner and he was expected to bring the glory back to man u by winning the league and doing well in champions league which was lost when Moyes and van gaal was employed. So why everyone is happy for winning the Europa, everyone is looking at the bigger and main price that you guys felt you deserve (EPL and cl) as the top dog of epl. The Europa is just like "make we use this one hold body first"

I can liken it to pochetinno at spurs. When poch was employed, spurs was in turmoil and their standings among the top 6 team(which was the achievement then) was in jeopardy. Poch was employed to restore their pride back, which he did exceedingly. He wasn't a high profile coach like mou or guardiola that he's expected to lead Spurs to challenge for the league. But then he overachieved. He not only challenge for the league, he made spurs a constant top4 material, which was way above their expectations while also playing good football. Notice, those two attributes are one of the standards of a top club (playing good footie and going far in competitions)
Now he took them to final of UCI while also making top 4 and levy thought "this team is good enough to rub shoulder with the best" since he sees poch(who isn't a serial winner BTW) as someone who can't win trophy but has made the team "tropjy-worthy". What he needs to do is to bring a serial winner like mou into the team.

Now Mou expectation during his appointment and Poch expectation during his appointment are two different things. And here is the reason why mou was sacked at his 2nd season and why poch still retained his position at his 2nd season.

I know it's a bit lengthy but I just want you to see where we are coming from

KingAlabi:
Maybe we have to say it in their respective native languages for them to understand, I just don't know.

As for the bolded, Villarreal will do the Lord's work for us.

Lol... Shey na tomorrow.
If not we go do "2nd leg comeback"

patrickmuf:
Demolished Bayern? Sure we watched the same game?

Check their 2nd leg performance vs Barca and you'd see a team that struggles under pressure. If Messi had scored the pen, it'd have been a long night for them.

Even the first leg sef, the kind of chances Bayern missed, even PSG will thank their stars. A lewandowski in that first leg would have seen Bayern pitting up with man city instead of PSG

KingAlabi:
I don't see why you guys don't still understand the point even if it is glaring, if I hire guardiola and he wins the Europa league at United, I will be happy AS A FAN, but that's not the expectations AS A FAN, I will have for guardiola.

When mou was brought in we wanted to win the best around because we know his achievements as a coach and he can take us there, he won the Carling cup, community shield and Europa league, as a fan we will celebrate winning a trophy, but have our expectations been met?

Back to ole, what was the expectations when ole was employing as a coach of his pedigree?

Mine: to stabilize the team that was negated under mou, build a winning team and if he can't bring the trophies after that, then he fvcks off for a better attacking coach of a better pedigree to deliver the trophies with the proposed winning squad.

Has amaka(ole) done this?, yes but it came with heart breaks.

This is exactly what most people here have been misunderstanding what you guys have been meaning since. It's like hiring guardiola and he is winning only carabao cup . Truly fans will be happy but as a top club, what is needed is more. Some people here are even alluding pep time at Bayern as failure cos he didn't win the champions league. Even the board of Bayern might feel pep underachieved but did that stop them from celebrating the double he is winning at Germany almost every year?
Even arsenal fans then was still trending #arseneout# then even with the back to back fa cup we won.

Sha, everybody with their agenda. Na here we bin dey when people call klopp bottler for Liverpool before he carried his champions league and then other trophies followed. I remember how that argument been swallow pages here.

Sha for the sake of my beloved arsenal, I hope you guys lose to Roma and we win the Europa .
You guys can think of trophy next season abeg . After all, some guys here no even want the Yoruba cup

HellVictorinho:
You are talking like you weren't born in Nigeria.


You want to know why the bank was wasting his time.


The answer is that they are good at wasting people's time.


What else?

Lol... I'm in Nigeria and that's why I'm asking questions. I know so many people have ugly experiences with banks, but I've hardly seen anyone/staff of a bank treating sick, very elderly or pregnant women anyhow esp at to extent of not allowing such person (him/her) into the bank.

Also, this story isn't clear enough, it was reported in such a way to blame the bank just to draw reader's sympathy to the deceased(which isn't bad) and anger towards towards the bank(which is bad without any justifiable reason).

The key details to know why the bank are at fault are these


1.. What made the man not to have access to his money?
2... What killed the man? Was it sickness? And did the bank staff knew he was sick and still acted wickedly
3... Was it hunger also? How hungry was this man that it caused his death.
4... Why did he bring his next of kin(is it even necessary to bring your NOK just to withdraw your OWN MONEY), yet the man was refused access to his money.

This are the details the news refused to provide which I'm skeptical about the true story. They should tell us what actually happened let us know.

So even as they proved this story was stolen, Mod still thought it wise to push it to front page.

Na wa for NL Mods oo

pocohantas:
Access to which money?

What is the correlation between taking his own money and bringing his NOK?

I know Nigerian banks could be crazy, but they tend to give preference to the aged, sick and/or pregnant women. Something doesn’t add up.

The story doesn't add up and it's highly incoherent.

1.. He died cos he is sick
2... He died cos he is hungry
3... He brought his next of Kin and he is still refused access to his money.

The reason why the bank didn't allow him access to HIS own money and why they're asking for affidavit is completely not stated in the story. The reason why he brought his next of kin and the bank still refused is highly unknown too.
But trust Nigerians not to ask questions but jump into conclusion.

The story just look mumbled-jumbled to me. They should tell us what actually happened

Na now you dey know your real enemy wey dey disguise

KingAlabi:
That language too much for am, break am down.

Expert17:
That's how we sold Lukaku and kept Martial over this stupid ball-playing-striker tag

You still don't want to accept that every and each coach has their player's preference and style right?

jargooflife912:
LOL just LOL

I know the Lol is your Lol of disbelief. Like you don't believe a striker who can score goals only without adding anything else won't go far.

Well, let's just say we have our differing opinions.

Panther7:
Omo people on this thread have a way of twisting your words like WTF!

Lol... People are diverse na. Some people have a way of reading something and interpreting it differently according to how they understand it

Leyqute:
Top teams in the EPL are now using a striker who can play outside the box. City. Man United. Leicester. Liverpool. Chelsea, etc.

The situation is similar in La Liga and the Bundesliga, although to a lesser extent. I think Inter is the only top team with a 9 who isn’t good at team play in serie A.

Exactly. Most fox in the box and chicharito kinda striker at fast disappearing now. I think even lukaku at serie A(with the few games I watched) is better with his team play compared to his man u days, due to how serie A is a slow-tempo league. But aside that, no modern top team will accommodate a striker that's lazy just because he can score

jargooflife912:
So you will take a 10 goals a season 100 take On over a 30 goals a season 10 take on?

Lol... If the striker doesn't even improve the other aspects of his game, even the 30goals a season he's seeing, he won't even get a sniff of it.
Like I said, modern football needs more than just scoring goals. It has evolve

jargooflife912:
We now want a striker that do all kind of tricks outside the box but can’t score LOL

Lol... Nobody said this.
Moreover, football have passed the phase whereby a striker will just be good at scoring and nothing else. Such a team that have such a striker presently rarely goes far

Havertz10:
that team was already on a downturn, poch isn't special, he will get found out by city, all the guys that made spurs great were either misfiring or have been sold, their transfers over the last 3 seasons have been terrible, poch had to go so the team can restructure, Mourinho wasn't the right man especially with their limited resources, they didn't take full advantage of their prime and didn't invest in the team well, poch no be anything biko, una dey forget how the fool bottled many important matches with prime spurs

who made them prime? And aside first 11, how many of their bench was that good? The way una dey disrespect pochetino in that Tottenham team, someone will think he just took over barca prime team and downgraded them to perennial top 4 candidates. Wetin even pain me sef na say you call am fool, yet before his appointment Tottenham rarely make top 4 nor are they even seen as contenders for anything.

Reality on Ground, backed and in strong affirmation by key players of The Invincibles.

Behold Daniel Ek, the Swede Billionaire about to become Owner. Kroenke is about to be booted out. And yeah, he means to bring those two. Is the Emirates ready for this?

I'm just taking this with a pinch of salt till I see something concrete and serious. For now na just mouth him dey make cause of all the brouhaha that's happening. (Protest, fans unrest and all)

mostob:
Their field is not that wide ..105x68m while ours is 115x74m.

The match I watched ystdy, the field looked wide enough. Maybe it's the la liga camera

Some people here are older richer and more accomplished than me. When I see them in real life I will bow but because of the anonymity of the internet I will be insulting them.

Insults are usually thrown by people who have no points to share in the first place. Many people here should be adults and should know better than to be throwing childish Insults around

Poster 1: Team A is better than B because ....
Poster 2: You are stupid, you are mad...

God bless you for this boss

my brother, it is not even about being fast,can we beat their press? we will be needing Auba pace and Luiz long ball. I will like to see Martinelli too. Honestly, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The outcome could go either way.

Well Auba will be available, odegaard will be also.

But no Luiz sha. Well let's see what Arteta and the boys will bring.
That their field wey big and wide ehh... Our boys go run tire

mostob:
I'm telling you. Samu go use am play ludo ?D

I watch Villarreal barca today and mehn those guys are fast. If dem catch xhaka eh, na die oo

mostob:
Watching Villareal against Barca....
Emery is not a bad coach,he just doesn't have plan B.
I am banking on Arteta to get the job done....
I might be crucified for this but Luiz,KT and Auba will be the key to beating Villarreal but I'm not sure they will be available...
In Midfield, Partey will be the key to beating their high pitch pressing but make Dani no near the team sha

As long as xhaka will play Lb and not midfield, na tight rope we go walk that day
