You don watch 16 Man United games this season?... Abeg who and who best us make I rush go stake.

Lukaku was useless for us...

Like Afrodoc said ... anybody who wants to continue creaming his pants about jambody - there is an inter Milan thread on the sports section

nnssnnss:
I friend that woks with Deloitte advised me to write to the senator representing my zone requesting that the video footage of all those interviewed from my state be review/audited by a consulting firm as well as our qualification and performance. He said it is possible as it has been done before (not NNPC) and it will help to seamlessly identify those that should get the offer.

Lana1:
Well, i cant argue with that. But....Aguero, Mane and Sterling also averaged around 2 unsuccessful touches per game. So there's that.

Anyhow, what this pic even proves is that Rashford was the better player last season and the only edge Lukaku had over him was 2 goals.

Let's not forget Rashford played most of his games from the wings while Lukaku played more centrally

Lana1:
I have never seen Rashford trip on the ball in a counter. But if there's a stat for that, abeg show us.

Lana1:
Beast of poor first touch and chances missed.

afrodoc2:
Lol is it until Lukaku goes scoreless for the whole Serie A season before we can say selling him was a good move.
So now he has scored 1 goal it was a mistake to sell him abi?

I said it here before his debut that the slow paced Serie A would actually favour him.
His atrocious touch won’t matter as much over there. That league is a moi moi league anyway but that’s not to take away anything from Lukaku who I hope succeeds there.

He is no longer a United player so please his fans should spare us the Lukaku alerts.

Sure say this country never die totally yet?

My next mail to you go be when I dey Jand

Emaprince:
Honestly though, it surprises me that these intelligent dudes will rather Chanel all their energy into fraud than hustling to make legitimate cash.

Nigeria is totally dead.

The only manager still active that I believe can make sense of some of these players is Klopp. Pep will need major investments

eph12:
His pass accuracy is even 80+ on the average, just 70+ on some few occasions. His number will even be better in a team like united. Is there a conspiracy to keep using Lingard? Someone that was on the pitch for almost one hour and attempted only 17 passes against a team that sat back. This is someone that is supposed to be the connection between the midfield and attack. How can the other two members of the midfield be averaging 50+ passes every match day and he is struggling to maintain 40+. Shame

Finally OGS is to be blamed jare for this nonsense jare

Leyqute:
Bruno had 3 assists yesterday. The first 2 came under 2 minutes.

eph12:
Blame for what exactly? If you talking about yesterday loss, I'm not blaming anybody for that. I can clearly see the difference between what we have now and what we had last year. The result was unfortunate, we had a couple of penalty decisions go against us, we lost a penalty. These things happen and it's bad luck but does not happen every time. This was not how it used to be. I have been around the game long enough to know that it's not every time we look for who to blame. Same reason I didn't blame Pogba for losing his penalty on Monday. These things happen and on another day, the result won't be the same

thorrvik55:
Van gaal played drab football and Mou played boring football

Those boys have not played possession football before, sir.

eph12:
We controlled the game but players weren't daring last season. You had a coach that will leave you out to dry in the press if you make a mistake, how do you want to go all out and try something? The team was playing like they are strangers, from defense to attack. They couldn't string passes, they didn't understand each other. There was already a feeling of two sides in the dressing room. The ones that would always get the stick vs the ones that could do no wrong.

You're an old timer here but have refused to see reason. Common sense should let us know that no coach will be pleased with this current team, definitely not OGS. But because he didn't say so in the press you are pissed at him. He gave young the captain and threw him to the bench. The same Rojo that they claim is in OGS plans is who is looking for another club. Jones and Smalling are no where near the first team. He doesn't say anything negative in the press, that's who he is but he is working behind the scene to effect the changes. This is only quantum physics to those that have sworn not to see reason.

He wants players but the club is weary of being taken advantage of. This project is a work in progress and will take some time. I'm pissed that we couldn't settle the RW and CM positions but we have to look carefully at what the club is doing and understand it.

The same Mourinho that said he was pleased with Lukaku performance at the left back position is who you want us to use as reference. He never criticized Lukaku, Smalling, Young, but was always on Pogba, Martial and Shaw case. Please he is gone, amen to that

Leyqute:
Abi o

70% possession is counterattack.

Possession football wey Rashford and co never play in 3 years. It’ll take time before they adjust.

Ibime:
Anyone noticed that VAR denied many clear penalties yesterday? We were denied a couple yesterday and so were Manure.

It's like the referees and VAR referees all had meeting last week to put power back in the hands of the referee.

eph12:
I said it here many times that Mourinho didn't play counter attacking style at United. He dominated games but lacked the players to break down defenses. I watched a lot of our matches to know that what we played wasn't counter attack.

That he loved counter attack is not entirely true. Against stronger teams, yeah, but then in a season, how many times do you play against stronger teams in the league? We never did under Mourinho, because 2-3 matches doesn't count for counter attacking

eph12:
Mourinho had issues getting some players he wanted, is it OGS that you think is going to bring in everybody? Because he does not throw jabs and snide remarks during press conferences? Really?

eph12:
Same City that lost out on all the competitions, not because they were not playing well but they couldn't score and were shipping in goals? Was that not the season they lost out to Monaco in the champions league?

eph12:
Counter attack style has 70+ possession? This is new. The current players are suited for which style sef?

eph12:
I just don't get it. When pep came to England, his team will pass and pass and dominate games but will find it difficult to score. He even had to buy Jesus to replace a whole Aguero. This was a team that just won the league a year or so ago.

Pep won't do shit with the current players we have, especially in midfield and attack, but if the club can't go all out to get those players, there's nothing he can do. I'd he had remain in Bayern, he won't do more than winning the league every year which is a given for every Bayern coach. And that's because Bayern transfer policy is very strange. You don't see them going after expensive targets. He's having it good at City. He is probably the best coach right now, but he won't do shiit with some of the players some top teams parade

Leyqute:
Don’t forget that this same Pep chop 4-0 for Everton hand before he got it right.

eph12:
Yes! Players strong on the ball, not one that will roll over when nudged a little.

I can see what OGS is trying to implement, but just like Pep, he will have to bring in some certain kind of players and spend a lot of money. Not every player can do this. Rashford thrives in space, where he can run on to the ball. He won't get that kind of space against teams that sit back. OGS is too trusting and it will cost him

Lana1:
I honestly dont understand how difficult it can be to sell deadwoods and buy replacements. We have been parading the same useless shits since 2011.

This is why i always felt if we couldn't get forwards this summer, that we should have at least gotten midfielders including Fernandes.
A good midfield would have gone a long way to cover the frailties of this team. Just look at Liverpool's middle 3. They know how to effectively work as a unit to press the other team and also to cover their own defence. This gives their forwards and full backs the freedom to wreck havoc on the opposing team.

But at United, our own midfielders cant even recycle possession and pass among themselves talk less of protecting the defence.

Lazy mofos. In what looks like the inevitable sack of OGS, they should sha sack some of these players join.

As for the yoot, is it not better to play Gomes than to play Lingard, seeing as we no get any other choice.
If you are good enough, then you are old enough.



And as for OGS, one of these days, we are all going to have a dialogue about how useless we are against defensive teams. Coz once you remove our ability to press and run behind the opposing team's defence, we become very useless.

This is very true. .
My class mate was shorlisted in 2017 after the test for training but he did not make it to the final after the training @DSSC Navy. I also did the test but i was not shortlisted
The guy is from Osun (Osogbo precisely).
So, again, he applied 2018 and was still shortlisted, i knew because we could all see the list online....then i met him ealry this year, when they had not gone for the 2018 training, and asked him what happened that he didnt make it to the final in 2017.

He said "Dont mind those people, see that list you saw the shortlisted candiates was just for the public. You can't imagine they brought in more guys outside the shortlisted list and most of those guys made it to the final.

But he also has a strong man too, just maybe the man was not "strong enough" to make him get to the final, but just to be enlisted for the training.

I was confused and amazed at the same time, but i still didnt get it until, i left Osogbo and got back to my place.
Having informed someone who i know, like a big uncle (In Navy), about my application and that my name was not on the list. He became worried and was assuring me something could be done.. ..after i saw the list myself and my name was not there o.

I guess he could not help it.
But again, during my IT at one of the Naval bases, i met a very good woman, she was like a secretary to the Oga. I also told her about my situation and that i would be trying again the following year.
She then started making some calls too to Abuja, as per HQ, and called me one evening that a man would call me soon , that i should go and buy my kits for the training..that i would be joining them for training....it was then i understood what my friend told me in Osogbo. So things like this happen even in.milirary!!!

Alas! The guy didnt call me.


So, sh**t happens oo
