Nice goal Greenwood

What a save by Hendo.

olabode89:
Lingard, Baily, and Van de Beek should start during the weekend.

Baily and VDB might start. I sincerely doubt Lingard.

Bruno and Rashford coming on .

olabode89:
Bunch of fuckers were gifted a PK. We keep building only through the left wing. What do they do during training??

How to win penalty.

I can count the number of times Ighalo leg touched the ball.

eph12:
I don't understand why we have 7 CBs in the team and we are still looking for a better one. Can't OGS just sack some of these guys?

Rojo will expire next year, I say we release him now. How Jones still has 3 years amazes me. Baily, Smalling and Axel will expire 2022, I say we release like 2 of them or sell them off at any cost. Then we can now go for whoever will improve the team

Lingard, Mata, Mensah contracts expire next year. I say we get rid of them now na. Which kind wahala be all these?

Smalling still remain one of our best CB among these lot we parade.

Objectivity is the watch word...

If you blamed Mou then, blame Ole now...I hate it when people make excuses for similar scenarios.

At some point I rooted for Mou but when I saw we weren't doing well, I spoke out, it's the same scenario with Ole. I think one too many folks here are afraid of the backlash that comes with switching positions...Come of it, you are not God, if it ain't working say it...

Very simple something.

Moyes- Cross and insha allah. Fûck the manager, get him out of our club.

LVG - Mr Philosophy. Fück the useless philosophy. Boring and uninspiring performance. Get him out of our club.

Mou - Defensive masterclass and drab, uninspiring football, fück this man, get him out of our club.

Ole - Drab and lackadaisical play with sideway passing and no intensity, but but the players are not good enough, let the board support him.




I love agenda.

One manager was mostly interested in signing expensive ageing players that would take lots of money and start chopping bench. The other wanted young talents. Next



You championed Mou winning the EUropa league as if it's what we should be attaining to. Ole did the same last season and people didn't even bother about it.

When it came to the UCL, the trophy that mattered, Mou's taktical masterclass angered many people.



What was acceptable with Mou that is deemed unacceptable with Ole?

Ole did what last season? Win the Europa league?

Leave story for Mathias, Ole can’t clean Mou boats when it comes to tactics. They are not mates in anything. Shoe get size.

Weren’t you blaming Mou for the lackadaisical football we were playing under him? Why didn’t you point out that the players we were parading are dross and that’s why we are playing the way we are?

So why shouldn’t we blame Ole for the nonsense football we have been playing but instead we should blame the players. Isn’t that double standard?

Leyqute:
So, you'd prefer that Mourinho remained at United with his drab football and expensive mercenaries?

How is Europa league the level we should attain to? Seems you're the one lowering your standards, chief.

At the first paragraph, No I agreed with sacking Mou when we did, it was obvious he had lost the dressing room.

Expensive mercenaries? I guess the players legend Ole has signed were given to us free and they are not drawing salaries from the club. Oh I forgot, they are playing for us because of the love for the club.

How did you even arrive at “Europa League is the standard we should attain to”. You can only win what’s in front of you, Europa league was in front of us last season and we lost to Sevilla.

Lowering standards I meant in my previous post was that if one thing is not acceptable with one manager, it shouldn’t be acceptable with another manager. That’s where the double standards comes from.

Leyqute:
So 6th is better than 3rd? LOOL.

Mourinho didn't win any major trophy. How many people were boasting of those trophies United won under Mourinho? Bros forget that one.

The main reason people were against him was his style of play. It was clear that Man United will not win major trophies with that method.

In the UCL, one manager lost to Sevilla and talked about legacy afterward. The other overcame a 2-0 deficit in Paris playing youth players.

Not saying one is better than the other but there's a sense of direction now than with Mourinho. If we played like we played on Saturday for the next month, then by all means, kick Ole out of the club.

We all want the best for the club. Even if they sack Ole and bring in Pochettino or any other coach, I will still support them.

Peace brother.

Europa league is not a major trophy anymore because Mou won it?

Someone that finished 6th with 69pts and won the Carling cup and Europa league in the first season and then followed it up with 81 point finishing 2nd in the league and lost the FA cup final the following season was not moving in the right direction.

But the one that finished 6th in his first half season with 66pts and finished 3rd with the same 66pts the following season is moving in the right direction.

The direction is so obvious.


Let’s keep lowering the standard. We go still Dey here together God willingly.

Leyqute:
What about Bruno? AWB? Even the Maguire you're thrashing sef is not as worse as Smalling as Jones. We had the 3rd best defence in the league last season. The areas we have problem is with the attack. We need to score more goals.

But continue. Agenda will always agend.

Guess what?

Mou won the Carling cup and Europa league with Smalling, Jones, Bailly as CBs, Valencia and Darmain as RB, Ashley Young and Shaw as LB, Midfield combination of Miki, Fellaini, Pogba, Lingard, Herrera, Mata and Forward of a Martial and Zlatan with rookie Rashford.

Let’s compare and contrast who had the better squad between both of them.

Leyqute:
Larride, I don't know you from adam but you fvck up no be small. It's clear that you have an agenda- and even if you do, at least wait until things are factual before showing your true color.

There are a number of differences from Ole's best season at United (and the next season) and Mou's.

During Mou's best season, the play was lethargic and we were always defending. I complained bitterly about that. Many people did. And that was after he's had one season under his belt. He bought Pogba in the first season, and then Lukaku in the next. Throw in Lindelof's acquisition and that's almost 200m pounds. He got eighty-something points. Good.

The next season was when things went downhill for him. And that was mainly because he was not supported by the board- probably because his play was lethargic and slow and the creativity was next to zero the previous season. Plus he was relying on mercenaries. Wanted to buy Willian, Boateng and co. Old cargos.

Last season was Ole's best season. He also bought some players but he had only been at the club for 6 months., and he had to made do with what he had until January. The difference between his targets and Mou's is that they are mainly young talents who will serve the club for the forseeable future.

Now, the main difference between the two is that Ole's team seems to be moving in a positive direction, with some promise. Finished 3rd and got into 3 semi finals. Last season was Martial, Rashford's best seasons at United. Even Mason broke through and was scoring goals. 3rd best defence in the league. It's not as if everything is perfect but things were looking up. Despite Mou hauling more than 80 points, it didn't seem as if things would improve. He was fighting his players and wanted to bring in mercenaries.

The only similarity between those two at the moment, is that the Glazers failed to back them up in the transfer market after their best seasons.

__________________________

Apart from that sef, it's way too early into the season to start complaining about this current side. Saturday was a terrible game, agreed, but then it's just one game in. If the shit repeats itself for the next 3 games or 4, then I will be the one championing #OLEOUT movement.

Shield your gun, old soja. War no dey for here.

So you mean when we won the Carling cup and Europa league and lost the final of the FA cup to Chelsea we weren’t moving in the right direction?

Ole hasn’t done half of what Mou did for us (as a manager), so how is Ole moving in the direction and Mou wasn’t?

In Mou first full season with us, we finished 6th with 69pts and won the Carling cup and the Europa League.

In Ole first full season (apart from the first 6 month on the job) we finish 3rd with 66 points and lost 3 semi final (Carling cup, Europa League and FA cup).

Using point haul, it can be argued logically that Mou first full season in the league where we finished 6th was better than Ole 3rd point wise.

The following season we finished 2nd with 81 points and lost the FA cup final to Chelsea. Pray tell wasn’t that progress and moving in the right direction enough?

My own agenda here is simple, if we blame Mou team for their drab and uninspiring football even with the supposed deadwood he had, there’s nothing that will absolve Ole and blaming the players for Ole incompetence wont be tolerated.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Peace.

When the going was good.



Funke! This same Ole?

We can all dig posts. Nobody holy pass.

I have been consistent in the way I analyze this team during and after Mou exit.

I have always maintained that we needed better players than we had, there are a lot of things you can blame the manager for but you cannot blame the manager for the inability of a player to pass the ball successfully or any of the mundane argument then.

What I’m pointing out is the double standard, if it’s Mou fault then, why is it not Ole fault now?

And if you dig well, you will see I started questioning Ole tactics few months after I made that post.

Leyqute:
Would you put your money into a bleeding stock?

What assurance do have have that he'll play good football and win trophies if given an open cheque when those he already bought aren't playing well?

To put this in proper context, we just finished 2nd and our highest point haul post Fergie but but bleeding stock.

Someone that bought headless chicken James, you want the board to give him 108m to sign Sancho or someone that bought fridge for 80m.

Leyqute:
Everyone will be on his side if he optimally uses what's in his care. That's the koko. How sure are you that those new signings will stop the bleeding?


BTW, Gary Neville is a true fan. He also wants more defenders

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/29326/11476539/gary-neville-manchester-united-defence-currently-not-good-enough

Let Ole optimally use what’s in his care. What does he need new signing for?

Leyqute:
Our play has been lethargic and uninspiring
We lack cohesion and team spirit
The atmosphere at Carington is bitter and tense
We drew a very winnable game against Wolves at home
3 days later we were outplayed and beaten at OT by Derby with a rookie manager in charge
But someone dey brag say "West Ham go hear am for weekend"

When we had superstars that Mou mismanaged.

Leyqute:
Just look at this data ffs. It's obvious the players have downed tools. Jose is being paid huge sums to manage this squad, all he's done is mismanage it.

Leyqute:
Still excited! Can’t believe we went through. PSG with Mbappe and Verratti! And we had 10 first team players out!! We had to do it with teenagers who had class on Friday!!!!!

1. A special fvck you to José Mourinho for trying to kill the morale of these players and the club as a whole. You were sh*t when you came to OT and you will be an old sh*t till you leave football.

2. A big shoutout to the midfield duo of McTom and Fred. They both covered a distance of 12km each yesterday night. McTom made it hard for Verratti and marked him out of the game and we saw a glimpse of the Fred we hoped for.

3. Ashely friggin Young is past it. For the early part of the game, he was always out of position. Gave Bailly no cover whatsoever - while Shaw held the LB down. Like garri Ijebu, he was solid and foiled attacks down his side-something Young couldn’t do one bit.

3. Dalot is a fantastic kid. His arrival blocked leakages on the right side and set Yoings brain straight. He also offered a lot offensively and complained to the referee after his shot was deflected in the final minutes. If he hadnt protested we wouldn’t have gotten the penalty.

4. Kudos to Smalling and Lindelof for pocketing Mbappe in turns. They matched his pace when it mattered and prevented him from dribbling them or having any sensible shot on target.

5. Big ups to De Gea for stopping Mbappe in his tracks at that crucial moment. Still the best.

6. Main man Lukaku!! 6 goals in 3 games!!! That hattrick is on the way, it’s just a matter of time.

Lukaku and Rashford can play together as a front 2 or in a front 3. Individually they still have to improve though.

7. OGS gotta get the job now. He knew Bailly was the weak link and subbed him before the end of the first half. He changed formation about 3 times in the game. He had a plan, executed it and got the results.

Onto the next one, Ole’s At the wheel.

GGMU!!!

During the honeymoon period.

Leyqute:
Yet Mou was sacked after a torrid time at United.

Well we heard a lot of “Let him improve the players he has, the board should not waste money on pipes” here when he was being vocal about needing players.

The argument then was that the play under him was boring and drab and a better manager will do wonders with the same players Mou had. All these were just few months after we finished 2nd and our highest point haul post Fergie.

But now, let’s not blame the manager for the drab football, lets blame the players.

Double standards.

Laycon with ass and brezz

Na Son them send to Soton.

Son will score plenty goals for a counter attacking team like Mou sha.

3 shot on target, 3 goals.

Must be nice having that kind of winger/striker.
