Shegzdave:
See white sha
Arteta Dey turn the boys to Monster true true

Lol...
Na small small we dey move laidis.

Time go come, we go dey highly feared.

From fans being the 13th man, to the bond within the team, to the high press and dominance, to now mentally entering the other team's head. Omorr, na prime Barca Arteta wan turn us so oo

Leyqute:
He actually alluded to it in the interview. Said it’s part of the reason he has rejected some recent job offers.

Oh... Wow!!
Ontop people wey no be football people, that's some real shiii

If you are not blaming Ronaldo, then why did you quote me?
Nobody believed Pep will buy a player like Halaand baba. Pep is the perfect example. Pep selects his players thoroughly.

You're the one who brought it out about Ole wanting Ronaldo and sarcastically talking about recruitments team here.

I just brought out the quote that even though he wanted him, he still claimed it was a wrong move for all parties and the his presence actually complicated things.

Leyqute:
For Ole to say United shouldn’t have signed Ronaldo. It’s quite massive.

At that time, we didn’t need Ronaldo and he didn’t need United. But like Lord Luggard, some people forced the marriage for their own reasons.

The good thing about SJR is that they seem to be working behind the scenes and sorting things out without noise. They don’t trust anyone in the club yet, which is a good thing. It’s like everyone is on probation.

TrebleChamp:
Which structure did Ole had before Ronaldo joined? Was he winning trophies before Ronaldo joined to he team? David Moyes also claimed it was unfair that United sacked him, cos he believed he could have turn thing around. Ole claimed Cavani was good with pressing, but how many goals did Cavani score? Abi when did pressing become the main job of a Striker?
Ole that was so useless tactically/generally, a certain Doc named him Amaka. His uselessness led to the famous e-war between OleOut (true lover of United) and Olesexuals. Ronaldo was a huge success at United, given the rubbish atmosphere he met and rubbish footy Ole and Rafiu gave us. Ole is my Club legend and i love him, but that interview was utter rubbish.

It was a counter attacking or fast transition structure. I know such structure will hardly give you league sha but I know during Ole's time most of you thought that your Squad was good enough to win the league. I once remember some people here doing head to head alongside Man City and felt man city wasn't far off away from you guys. Even forms sharing too was present here and if I can remember vividly he always finishes around that top 2 and 3.

All what I know is that someone who would create all these debate would really have a structure (tho it might not be the best) and if he says forcing in Ronaldo into his team altered his plans (I mean, you guys finished out of top 4), then he certainly do have some valid points. Cavani might but score more than Ronaldo but as a team, you guys were winning matches more under Ole(without Ronaldo) than under Ole (with Ronaldo)

odizeey:
When you buy a star player, you have to fix him to suit your team.

Buy Mbappe, Messi, you will have to tweak the system.

Pep uses strikers that hold the ball, but with Halaand, it had to be different.

So I don't understand why you are blaming Ronaldo for a player that Ole bought by himself.

Same thing is playing out now. This was how they said it was the board and Fergie that forced Ronaldo on him. And you are echoeing the same thing.

Same people who said that are lying that no one said it.

Nobody is blaming Ronaldo, at least not me. It's just like it's a partnership gone wrong or shouldn't have happened cos it doesn't fit.

And using pep is an anomaly. Pep is the top coach in the world that has a complicated system. Not everyone with his type of system will allow a striker have 9 touches a game and be comfortable. I doubt even Klopp would accept that

Leyqute:
United managers are actually dictated to, it seems. Mourinho’s interview on his time at Man Utd would be more explosive.

I'm not certain about this but I'm sure Ole would have little say in this Ronaldo coming

OhBritannia:
let the end justify the means.

Lol... Okayy

mostob:

Na true na.
Greenwood na potential world-class player and it'll be worth it in terms of el classico.

ChristoBam:
Exactly!

And it's not even difficult. This thing we repeated here again and again and some were tagged 'Ronaldo haters' on this thread even till today.

That's why I'm just really excited about the new structure were implementing now. We should never try that type of mistake in future.

Lol... Yeah.

The thing is that concerning this Ronaldo matter, Ole's interview just proved right all those who were speculating that Ronaldo's acquisition really undid Ole's plan(or whatever it is)

Anyways, like you said, you guys are getting it right in the structure aspect above by putting football people in football places, we'll see how it pans out

odizeey:
So why did he buy him?

This was the excuse they gave when they wanted to blame the board on Ronaldo transfer.

There's no way he would have said "no" in Ronaldo signing when the board and even Fergie wanted Ronaldo at Man U.

It's not as if Ole is some kind of Pep or something

odizeey:
What's my own with this one you posted

You said Ronaldo's presence didn't affect the structure, so I'm showing you quotes from Ole himself that said his presence did affect his structure and plans

patrickmuf:
I am not a Ronaldo stan but what exactly does Ole mean when he says we were one of the best pressing teams?

We all complained back then about the lack of coordination in our play so, what exactly does Ole mean? At what point were we a pressing team let one of the best?

Admittedly he went overboard with that "pressing" thingy (or maybe he has his own definition of pressing) but one thing that I can deduce from his talks is that the presence of Ronaldo changed most of the plans he had entering into that season. Ronaldo might have got the goals but then to Ole, the way he would have loved the teams to have set up that season is not the way it panned out

iamoyindamola:
Funny they beat same chelsea in the cup competitions with same injuries and keeper

This season or the 20/21 season?

That season they went trophiless ooo.

If it's this season, you should know the present junks of Chelsea are overpriced amateurs with just few exceptions.

This squad that won Chelsea recently in finals can't beat that Chelsea of dem Tuchel that played those finals. Lai lai

iamoyindamola:
There was a season allisson was part of those injured with vvd etc
Kelleher chop goal like mad i think it was last season

That was 2020/21 where the finished 3rd.

And yeah, Allison went injured as at October and they were still top of the table till Jan with Kelleher keeping. The only reason why they conceded goals like mad was when all their defenders had injuries that Midfielders like Fabinho and Milner started playing CBs and they significantly dropped out of even top 4. It was towards the end when Neco Williams, Philips and Kabak(natural defenders) started playing defence they clawed their way back from 5/6th to 3rd

BlueRayDick:


Instead make Jo.dera just accept say he didn't actually have Ramsdale in mind when he made that post; he's turning Amala.

Probably yeah, but then I wasn't really dragging who's better between Ramsdale and Kelleher. My crunch point is that Allison won't be really missed as long as Kelleher is manning the post cos he's really really good.

iamoyindamola:
You know the issue I have with you
You sabi use style turn amala, ramsdale have been our second keeper since raya came in which one is he just become second keeper like na yesterday they confirmed it

Lol.... Issorait. You're right

The whole issue I'm even trying to pass across is that Kelleher is a very very good goalkeeper for Liverpool to miss Allison.

It's difficult to open at my ends I dunno why.
Maybe I'll open it later

odizeey:
Someone was heading elsewhere, we called him here based on legacy.

Una won come dey put the blame on am for destroy the kpangolo structure Ole had.

He came and delivered what he knew how to deliver but una blame am.

You people are evil.

This is what Ole had to say. At least, even Ole is agreeing that he also affected the pangolo structure.

He even said you guys were one of the highest pressing teams before Ronaldo and that Cavani was one of those who ensured that.

iamoyindamola:
False kelleher is not or never better than ramsdale
Not today not tomorrow go and watch him well, funny enough the only time he get lucky is always against chelsea

Lol, I take the bolded that the only time you do watch him is in cup finals (which had been always against Chelsea)

Allison has had long term injuries like twice or thrice. If you'd been watching Liverpool's league games, you won't be saying the bolded. Yes, He's that good!!

And as for best No 2, I said "arguably" meaning you can argue it if you say Ramsdale is better than him (afterall Ramsdale just became no2 this season)

OhBritannia:
I don't care what anyone thinks, if the news is true then sell Raphinha and bring this boy.
The kid is good!!! He needs a club like Barcelona to Excel.

Na this kind person you suppose deh talk about no Haaland or Messi

mostob:
Rice: Let us meet there and cook together.
Jorginho: Where?
Rice: Arsenal of course.
Havertz: Me, I'm going o. I'm tired of this sh"thole. Infact, I will be the first to go.
Rice: Kai No. Let Jorgy go first then we follow.

patrickmuf:
Is Alisson back?

Ohhh... Noo
But then , they have arguably the best No2 goal keeper In the league and Europe so I'm not even bothering about Allison's absence.

mostob:
Quansah against Haaland and KDB? Well, we watch.

Lol... No worries, we go watch

mostob:
Konate forced off again Slavia due to injury.

Anfield might fall on Sunday sha

I doubt...
Jarell Quansah is someone who has good understanding with Van Dijk and he's no slouch.

With all their players back from injury including Szobo and Salah, I doubt it will really fall. The only big boy dem dey really miss na Jota

Spy360:
If we say Havertz is better than Trossard or Gabriel Jesus, Jo.dera will argue

You love for the controversies

I see

mostob:
Be like na Jo.dera marry S.eun's sister. Na only you dey upload pictures in this thread.

Lol, no reason am oo.

Maybe na Crypto browser wey I deh use naim dey help me

mostob:
To think the like of Jesus and Trossard will soon join them. Chai

I've been praying for days like this

daveP:
See wetin Madrid play tonight? Smh. Lucky them.
What do you guys think of Leipzig's Xavi Simons? RW or AM slot.

RW. Skillful and creative.

But PSG no go gree

iamoyindamola:

Na Raya own deh muzz me pass.
Like "who are these small pikins"?

Five Arsenal players have been directly involved in 10+ Premier League goals this season:

◉ 21 - Bukayo Saka
◉ 12 - Martin Ødegaard
◉ 10 - Gabriel Martinelli
◉ 10 - Declan Rice
◉ 10 - Kai Havertz

No team has more players in double figures. 🤝
