Expert17 and CapitalCee are offline...

Na Expert I Dey wait for.

Do you guys still want us to sell DDG?

DDG has kept us in this game so far.

Let’s hope both the manager and the other players get their act together.

CapitalCee:
When they see a good team they will go defensive, United is terrible

My tired is tired.

Someone lied to us that this Villarreal is a defensive team.

Mrviktor:
Dalot Kon dey fear to go front

What support is he getting from Greenwood?

Commentator say “How long will Villarreal keep letting Man Utd off the hook without paying for it at the opposite end”.

It Danjuma has half a brain, we will be 3 goals down currently.

We are playing at home ffs.

We’ve started well.

BOOKMARKED

What are you bookmarking? You sabi read so?

afrodoc2:
Funny thing is that we haven't played that badly, apart from 2 or 3 mistakes in the back that have been clinically punished by Villareal.

The senior team better not replicate this nonsense for night.

Might be good news tho, we won Young Boys u19 and lost to their senior team, maybe this is sign that we will trash Villarreal senior team.

0 - 4

Playing at home without having a goal attempt so far.

What a wawu for our u19.

Be like this uselessness run deep.

Even our u19 Dey chop ham.

Lmao.

Nah, that's just how Bruno plays.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7357617/Man-United-news-Scouts-decided-against-Bruno-Fernandes-signing-midfielder-took-risks.html

How is taking risk as an AM an issue ffs? You’d prefer to be passing the ball sideways and backward without no real penetration?

Bruno signing even aided Ole because it fits directly into his counter attacking set up. Someone who gets the ball and transition it immediately before the opposition regroup.

If the manager wants him to play closer to the CDM than to the forward, then he should play him there and instruct him not cut off the risky passes.

Na how una Dey watch una matches sef?

If you want Bruno to be more involved in midfield play and reduce his risky passes, it’s the job of the manager to tell him that and tweak his system into a more possession based system because this current system (whatever it is) is not a possession based one.

Unless you guys want Bruno to play against the manager instructions.

And Yes, Bruno is not immune to criticism especially when he fücks up.

melodyogonna:
Statpadding is not the problem here, the problem is that Bruno doesn't know when we need to calm the ball down and have some control. His hastiness in trying to find the killer pass immediately the ball touches his feet is losing us possession, the passes are mostly misplaced, miskicked, or intercepted. Having a bit of control before attempting any high-risk pass ensures the player is a lot relaxed, having been in control for some time.

Do you know how swift a counter attacking set up must be to be effective?

We set up to play mostly that way and Yes I do agree that Bruno sometimes rush his passes which make it overhit or underhit. At the same time, it’s our best route for a quick counter because we are set up to play that way.

That’s why we struggle to create chances against team that sit very deep and organized in their defense. Our midfield play is laborious because we don’t set up to play that way.

We all know where the problem is from, it’s from the manager setting up the team to play one way.

Bruno shouldn’t even be trolled for chance creation, goals and assist since those are his main job on the field, let others including the manager pull their weight and do their fücking job.

afrodoc2:
They want Bruno to score fewer goals, make fewer assists, and create fewer chances................so that he won't be seen to be stat padding.

Doc sincerely I don’t understand the agenda. We mostly play counter attack as we are clueless with the ball at our feet.

How is it Bruno fault that the clueless manager we have set up the team the way he does. Or do they want Bruno to play against the manager instructions? Infact we have even seen a lot of games that Bruno drops deep to the CM or CDM position.

In a counter attacking set up, you want your AM or midfielders to release the ball as swiftly as they can and not be romancing the balls. While I agree that sometimes Bruno do rush his passes, he’s not the reason for our disjointed midfield play.

melodyogonna:
I no really understand this blind loyalty tbf. Bruno loses the ball in a careless and senseless manner, he also tops the chart for chance creation. His decision-making when he has the ball is questionable, sacrificing teamwork to statpad for chances created, goals, and assists will hurt us in the long term.

The one that pisses me off the most is when he takes so much time to decide what to do with the ball, only to lose it before he even does. The opponents don't give that much leeway in the Premier League, I thought he would have learned that by now, he is still being constantly caught on the ball yet to decide what to do with it.

How is an AM statpading with chance creation, goals and assist?

What do you want him to statpad? Tackles and interception?

Please walk me through your thought process.

Lol

That was a clear handball.

I don’t know what Var was checking again.

Shaw don dash them PK.

Lingardindo scores

Decent half.

TheLequte:


Larride you show face today

I have been extremely busy with work and adjusting to married life.

I still read from time to time but sometimes the pages are too much, I just jump to the last page.

Moyes vs Ole.

Battle of the average.

The team that started tonight shouldn’t ever be called a weak team.

If that lineup is weak, which one is now strong.

Lana1:
Omo. The exuses are worse on twitter.
There are people out there who legit see nothing wrong in how Ole managed that Villareal final.

Today’s own is even worse because we started defending from the 46mins. DDG even cop a yellow for time wasting in the 63rd mins.

Now cap it all with confused sub.

Almajirihunter:
Spending on Werner as our top striker looks more and more like a big mistake, Kovacic seems to be in good form

Werner can’t be compared to a striker like Lukaku. Werner at best is a SS. Lukaku is a point man.

The mistake you guys did was buying Werner to be your point man.
