Roland17:
This match up looks overwhelming for the lads, they need to just keep their composure else the score line will ballon. Dahoud should have put them ahead with that attempt that kept Neuer rooted but he got the post.
Zagadou is only 19 with good upsides but this is not the first game he has looked jittery and unsure even though I will admit they are missing Hakimi but Zagadou is far from a top defender at this point.

That was why I wanted him beside Toby Aldeweireid who's much more experienced than him. I know he's still young but there's no use in buying several old defenders when we could have one experienced head and a young one .

Hakimi is good going forward but rubbish in defence. He wouldn't have helped anything. Likewise Diallo who's at his best as a central back. Everything is just off in that defence as well as the midfield which is too defensive without a creative midfielder.

Bayern going rampage on Dortmund. Lord have mercy.

The whole Dortmund team looked off as well. They need a creative midfielder in the midfield. They have only the washed up gotze on the bench. Why they sold off kagawa is still a misery. Foolish coach.

Not his day. He was good the last time out. Anyone could have an off day.

It's even strange to see how the small Ounas is so strong on the ball both on the ground and in the air. He's foul tempered too. Always mouthing off at the opponent in every match. I love the passion. Wish we can get this lad than this hyped up Sancho we are chasing.

Maddison

O’connor hi
Adams Ounas
Aldeweireid

Come here Kagawa, I want to ask you something

Aldeweireid isn't unknown. Or you don't know him?
Anyway, I know a talent when I see one. I'm not so sure of O'Connor but I would love to see him tried out.

Has anyone watched this Ounas against Gambia? So silky. In fact, no video of him I watched that I wasn't mesmerized. Either the ones that had his performance against Espanyol, Sassuolo etc. Why Ancelotti isn't giving him game times is quite stupid.

Anyway, we all know Ancelotti prefer his grannies on the pitch than give young players playing time on the pitch. His stats on whoscored looks good as well despite the little games he has played.

His Gambia performance is here below:

If I were the coach, new season would be:

O'Connor - Aldeweireid - Zagadou - Shaw;

Maddison - Van De Beek - Ceballos;

Adam Ounas - Memphis - Martial.

Bench: Dalot, Rashford, Lindelof, Matic, MCTominay, Lingard and Romero.

Sell Pogba and Lukaku for 220-250 mil. Other players such as Herrera, Mata, Young, Jones, Rojo, Darmain, Bailly, Sanchez can all fvck off for little peanut. Mercenaries and dead weights should all Bleep off. Yeye dey smell.

nihilistjnr:
Can he do legover? He plays a high action game which needs a lot of stamina - you may have to pour him water at half-time...maybe even holy water

The one thing I will say is that he's a good marker of opponents, he dey always dey their body like skin tight.

Pogba will finally be unlocked by the guy. When monkey dey work eh, baboon e just dey chop

You're not serious. Have you unlock your own Jorginho? Or
has David Luiz finally helped to unlock him?

ChristoBam:
And you even think playing for Leicester and Man Utd is the same thing abi?? So if you sell Pogba and co and sign Van De Beek and Madison and those ones flop which there is a 40% probability they would then what happens??

If Leicester has better forward apart from the total dependence on Vardy and a good central defence, not the lead leg of Morgan and Maguire. They would be above us already. They are just a little below us anyway.

De Beek and Maddison can't flop. They are too intelligent to flop. And if you add this intelligence to their techniques and talents, you have a complete player. If Pogba has this intelligence to begin with, he won't be a stupid player.

ChristoBam:
So they dominated the midfield in some particular games, does this mean they're better than the ones we have?? Which midfield Pogba, Herrera and Matic no fit dominate sometimes..
How good are these players?? What are their qualities?? How passionate are they?? That's what you should care about. Which one is the story of how they dominated in a particular game.

Maddison twice with us. While Van De Beek was part of the midfield that ate up Real Madrid. These players are really good, don't underrate them. Maddison especially has this lovely ball whipping skill, quite similar to that of de bruyne and can also play on the wing also.

As for Grealish, I would rather we snap him up now before he becomes another Maddison whose price has skyrocketed after joining Leicester. Also, He's no stranger to the EPL.

Let me also add that Zagadou ate up Bayern's Lewandoski and was the best defender on the pitch in that match.

nihilistjnr:
axel zagadat?

I didn't know Mr Eazi was the one to finally unlock Pogba

Zagadou has been Dortmund's best player. It's no wonder they crumbled against spurs the moment he left. Akanji is equally good but he's adept on the right and he's not a ball playing defender like Zagadou who's left footed and a ball playing defender.

ChristoBam:
It's like you want us to be contending with Everton and Wolves next season for an Europa league spot. Which kain mumu midfield be that?

What are you saying? Maddison and Van De Beek all dominated our midfield when we met Ajax and Leicester. Say what you know. Grealish had once ate up city's midfield of Yaya Toure, David Silva and Liverpool's midfield of Coutinho, Henderson and Gerrard in the EPL. And most importantly, he's the best midfielder in the championship as we speak.

The midfieders who were the best there last season such as Maddison and Ruben Neves have had no difficulty assimilating to the EPL this season. Grealish was even better than these two last season but Aston villa didn't want to sell him and slapped a huge price on him which made Spurs to turn away. Let me remind you that Dele Alli, Liverpool's Robertson were all from the championship. Dele Alli was even from a below league 1 tier before Spurs snapped him off.

Leyqute:
Kagd10 will be very happy

He's obviously going to Barca. No players would turn Barca down.

We should be looking at Axel Zagadou instead. Get in Van de Beek, Grealish, Maddison and Zagadou and we are through with the summer window. Sancho could wait till next summer. We could always use Maddison on the right wing for his exceptional crossing skill until Sancho comes. We should only go for Sancho if Pogba leave for Madrid this summer.

I'm sure one of our young players can help us with the fullback role.

I have been thinking about it, having a 3-man midfield of:

Maddison - Van De Beek - Grealish.

It wouldn't be bad to have such midfield playing for us. They would only need to intensify their defensive works and sync with one another and they are no slouch in this department after all, Pep had a midfield of Silva, Gundogan and Bernardo/De bruyne and they are doing wonderfully. Pogba can fvck to the Madrid for all I care.

larride:
So what happened during the first 10 matches that we were blowing everyone away? Guess what? That’s how Mou started the season last season until things begin to go haywire.

I’m just glad the useless players proved me right. Once we face any decent midfield, they start seeing the period immediately. The board better do massive clear out in the summer. Make them no beg Herrera, make he dey go him PSG.

Matic's dip in form happened. The only semblance to a playmaker in the team is Matic and once he reverts back to his tired form, we are back to shite again. Same happened under Mourinho. Not forgetting the fact that we have had it easy playing against pub teams until we met a rejuvenated Arsenal side

odizeey:
bro the fact is that we have inconsistent players. I don't know the cause of the inconsistency, but saying ozil and xhaka are better than our midfielders is a big joke. Their only defender better than ours is konscieny.
Our problem is players turning up today and going off tomorrow.

Last last if them the players start to dey turn up dem go dey say dem good. Let new season just start abeg I no fit shout.

Ozil is far better than any of our players in the final third. His problem often arises whenever he had to drop deep to help out a non existing midfield. But give him a solid midfield and have him situated in the final third, he would cause havoc through his movement and vision. That was why I advocated for 4312 or 3412 for Arsenal several times in Arsenal's thread. That was the only way they could get the best out of Ozil, Aubameyang and Lacazette. Thank God the stubborn coach has finally listened.

As for Xhaka, he's a solid playmaker eventhough he isn't the best to have around and his agility is nothing to write home about but all he needs is a solid energetic midfielder beside him and he would do a decent job at playmaking whereas we don't even a decent playmaker in our team to begin with.

odizeey:
bros i no like mou but i like ole. But still let's not say it's because of ole we will say it's now the players.

I still believe that we have better players in that squad even better than arsenal and chelsea. But they are lazy. I will call them talented, but never living up.

Ole has been making the wrong selections lately, but still I will not call him out yet. I will wait to see if our play continues this way for the next 3 games. No need to wait for him to buy before you see his style of play. Use your tactics with what you have now.

Better than Arsenal? Arsenal has two quality forwards in Lacazette and Aubameyang with terrific off the ball movement and when you add Ozil, another player with terrific off the ball movement, who's been finally deployed in a 3412 setup which often bring out his best skills as a roaming creative final third player, you have a terrific team in your hand. The attack is settled already.

In the midfield, Arsenal has a playmaker in Xhaka who's been terrific lately since he had a box-box midfielder such as Ramsey/Torreira deployed alongside him. Arsenal's only problem is their defence but their constant wave of attacks has helped to push lot of opposition back thereby relieving their defence of so much pressure.

As for Chelsea, their defence, Jorginho's sluggishness/poor defensive prowess and lack of a quality creative midfielder in the midfield to help out Jorginho, has been their bane. Apart from these, they are far better than us in all ramifications.

Useless team. Pep can't even do anything with this team.

Shite defence without a ball playing defender. Shite midfield without a playmaker (Pep always requires two and we don't even have one), shite attack without a quality attacker who's got a good brain or good off the ball movement.

Rashford once had a good off the ball movement but has become selfish lately, he has probably noticed that he hardly see the ball when he runs behind the opposition's defence. Lingard has good off the ball movement which is his only good attribute but rather than horn this attribute, he thinks he's beyond such level now and believes he's the Messi in the team. Dont let me even get started on the donkey called Pogba. Bunch of useless players. Spits!

MCTominay has been our best player.

Neves and Moutinho using our midfield to ping pong

MCTominay should be in the withdrawn role while Fred should be further up or just have the two in a 2-man midfield just like what we had against PSG. Fred shouldn't be deployed in a lone holding midfied role.

Pogba, Lingard, Smallling and Young have been shite.

So hate speech and armed struggle, which one is more of feature of a terrorist.
Be wise for once

Hate speeches are worst. What do you think caused the civil war? Or the fall e Rwanda?

You can't blame others if they choose to react to your hate speeches action in the worst way. The tongue is the most poisonous organ of the body and can leave a deep burn into another person's body, so learn to tame it.

Chipink:
.

They still look beautiful despite the tribal mark. Only Yoruba women can wear tribal marks gracefully compared to your typical yam legged, hairy, manly facial Ibo women.

Don't you mean coward men such as Ojukwu who fled in woman's clothes to Abidjan?

Btw, Dahomey are Yorubas in Benin Republic or didn't your akpu infested brain know that Yoruba spread all the way to West Africa? Yoruba ain't just a tribe but a race!

enemybulldozer:
Abobaku, you deal with lies and propaganda but am here to bulldoze that your ewedu decaying brain with facts and figures.

Your akpu infested brain couldn't deal with the facts I had as attachment. OSU and stupidity, highly synonymous!

enemybulldozer:
Dummy pigiwasternr, Lagos apapa seaport was established in 1913 and was further dredged in 1921 (after amalgamation with the resources generated from Nigerian soil fact.

Lagos as a state/town was built by the British, nigerian government, Igbos and other well-meaning nigerians. The massive IGR that Lagos is known for was possible as a result of Igbo businesses, foreign Investments seaports and oil companies. The yorubas as a people are not the ones contributing quarter of the good development of Lagos, but today they are seeing it as a place their world revolves and you want me to see you as somebody that is sane?? You're stewp!d and f00.l!sh.

You accuse Igbos of wanting to annex your godforsaken cursed lands, but your useless and cursed ancestors annexed Lagos from the binis who are the original owners of Lagos.

Hypocrite Abobaku!

Osu, I deal in facts, not akpu infested imagination.

Chipink:
Hehehehehehe... See cow
We know how useless yoruba men just sell their fortune to marry igbo gals and dump their dirty ugly pigs,
Yoryba women are bad market to Nigeria nobody wants them,
Dirty smelly things with ugly black scratched face..


A yoruba man once said!!

Freeze was bittered against his wife who constantly beat him for his lousy mouth, so what did you expect him to have said from his bitter heart? That is no fact but the real fact is below, that is, how an average Ibo woman looks like: hairy, manly faces and yam legs: Queen Okafor.

gidgiddy:
I actually expected HURIWA to have commented on the IPOB issue before now but better late than never

I will never understand how the government of Buhari can proscribe an unarmed group like IPOB that killed nobody as a terrorist group, but did not do the same against killer herdsmen that slaughter thousands of Nigerians every year

OPC took up arms and destroyed lives and property, they were never declared a terrorist group. Their leader, Gani Adam's is now a prestigious high chief in Yoruba land

Niger Delta militants took up arms and destroyed lives and property, they were never declared terrorists. They were even given amnesty programmes worth billions and militant leaders like Ateke Tom and Tompolo are kings of their area.

Killer herdsmen took up arms. Destroyed lives and farm lands. To this day, not one single herdsmen has ever been killed and very rarely have they ever been arrested. The armed killer herdsmen will never be declared terrorists, infact, Government is making moves to give them ranches

But as soon as unarmed IPOB , who never touched anybody, come out with their Biafran flags and ask for referendum, you will see them sending Python dance and rushing to court to get them declared terrorists

Only God will judge

Difference is they didn't spread hate speeches towards other tribes in Nigeria. They made their grievances known to the government, not to Tribesmen who had nothing to do with them.

Whiteangel1234:
treachery is not knowing how to play politics .
Igbos play ideological politics not 50/50.
You need to take a clear stand as a people

stand for wetin ?

Don't you mean the Ibos who killed every tribes leaders apart from Ibos in the 60's coup? Or Zik who knew of the coup but opted not to tell his supposed friend, Ahmadu Bello and left for overseas alone?

How about the Ibos that hijacked the coup plot and tribalised it like Kaduna Nzeogwu said and I quote "the intention behind the coup wasn't tribal but the execution of the coup was tribal especially in the eastern region"


If you don't know about history, just shut your mouth already.

I still don't know what kalu is all about? Didn't he join APC because of his troubles with EFCC? So what rubbish is he saying? Only Ngige has a right to a post in APC unfortunately, he's not a senator. Maybe ifeanyi Ubah but he's a first timer and not even in APC although he worked for APC. Kalu only worked for his stomach.

SuperIgbo1:
This is so typical of Yoruba men. Going hard on your folks while, external forces stay decimating y'all.

Dahomey women are Yorubas in Benin Republic. They don't have inferiority complex. I could also show you the history of Ibadan attacking Oyo Ile. Every sub fractions of Yorubas were all known as warlords until the British came.

I won't take saboteurs or people who side with others who demean the great Yorubas! Yoruba ain't just a tribe but a race!
