All these pictures taken in isolation sef for pushing agenda. No be the same Ajax we dey watch then? When everyone was all saying great things about ETH then for months, researching tactics and everything, he wasn't playing with a Donut midfield then,yeah?

ETH getting grilled on Dutch national tv with his donut midfield at Ajax
Donut midfield lol
Apparently this is how Eth wants to play/is playing
When it works, with the right players, it could be delightful
What is certain tho, is that it can never be a sustainable identity or style of play especially at the very highest level. No be eredivisie be this

[quote author=afrodoc2 post=129316336]What impressed me was that he was able to go toe to toe with a strong and fast player like Nunez and not be found wanting. What he needs now minutes here and there in order to improve his reading of the game.

He can replace Lindelof and Maguire on the bench next season. We need a first choice RCB and a capable deputy for Martinez at LCB though. [/quot

At this rate, Martinez will be the deputy

The first 30 minutes was bad.. But not denying the fact that we dominated them.. We just defended poorly.. We played better overalls
I don't think you are a serious person
That absolutely terrible play from both sides is where you are looking for who played better
The fact that we lost even makes it worse

Donut formation. 😄

The center of that pitch is a nuclear waste site. That is why there is no United player there.

Persisting with this donut formation is a sackable offence on its own. Then you add the Antony and Mount waste of money. Add the regression in team performance. If we miss out on Champions League football (which we will), there is no logical reason not to sack him.
I don't think anything annoys about united under baldie than this donut thing
Like it was there the very first game of the season against wolves and 8 months later, it's still there. Which means somehow baldie does not think it's a problem that we are facing more shots than relegation threatened teams🤡

If you know anyone working in Stanbic IBTC, or any of the holding companies, BILL THEM EXCESSIVELY!!

Stanbic has paid them Bonus. Stanbic has also done a Salary increase across board and promoted a lot of people.

BTA 2 is now 310k net If you recall from the beginning of this thread, it used to be 254k.
ABO freshers are going home with 511k net from what used to be 350k

Again, aside from the financial rewards, I still maintain that Stanbic IBTC is the best place to work.

Come and join us and have an engaging and rewarding career with us. cheesy
You jus dey pepper us.
Does Stanbic ever do a standard GT programme apart from the one for IT specialists that they seem to do frequently?

It's all about patience. If he's cut for it, he'll get his chance and take it. Remember Maino early this season. Man's now starting every single game. People were crying about Garnacho not staring earlier this season. Some are now saying he should be rotated. Every manager wants his best players on the pitch.

Tbh, I don't rate Amad that highly. Never did. Probably the reason I find it easier to understand. I hope I'm wrong like I was about Maino. Thought he was a good player that needed to be eased into the team gradually. But man's actually something extremely special.
I'm surprised that you don't rate And. He's definitely not Greenwood level talent but he can be a very good player and so far he's done decently in all his limited appearances

I keep wondering how Utd fans do not rate McTominay,yet he is either scoring or assisting.....
For me, I don't he deserves that much stick,he is always making it up with end product....Well,maybe if I see a factual fan who can analyze him properly without sentiments and emotions.

I would understand Rashford and Anthony's criticism,only if they had been turning up,Utd would have been up there
Scoring and assisting while abdicating his midfield duties is not what we want to see
Mainoo was overworked yesterday because Mctominay cannot be arsed to do anything in midfield

If you can't win over the manager on the training ground, you win him over on the pitch.

Forson didn't start a game after Hojlund's injury just because he's a finer shade of black. He was obviously doing something right in training.

I'm glad Amad was able to at least show something on the pitch. Though i doubt he'll start games with Hojlund back. Best front 3 still remain Rashford, Hojlund, Garnacho.
By how much is Garnacho better than Amad? I don’t see any reason why they can’t share minutes instead of overplaying Garnacho. Amad is even the one who is a natural RW. That Una coach daft

BO is now 650-700k net

We're already in March. By 20th, It'll be increased and I'll come back to update this thread with my findings.

There's no difference in salary between business areas. You can only have difference in Bonus which is of course due to several factors; appraisal performance inclusive.

I hope this helps.

That’s totally on him.

He sacrificed his methods for results in his first year. That’s why he’s really struggling now.

Would’ve been better to instill his style in that first year and set the basics- even if he doesn’t make top 4. The growth would’ve been noticeable by now.
Easy to say.
Y'all would have allowed him time to not get results but instill a style of play?

Yeah. I agree with you about Shaw. It is time to move on purely from an injury point of view. From a technical and physical point of view though he is the type of fullback that we need.

Bruno is Bruno. He is not comfortable enough on the ball in tight spaces to cope well with the pace and pressing of the EPL. There are passes you will give to Bruno in a tight area that he will spill to the opponent or rush a through pass that is not on, but if you give the same pass to Bernardo Silva or Odegaard they will wriggle out of the tight space and keep the ball circulating.

If we want to continue to play transitional counterattack football, Bruno is the guy. If we want to play front-foot possession football like the other top teams he is not the one.
I don't see why Bruno cannot play in a front-foot possession system tho
I can't be the only one that can't find a significant difference in Bruno's and KDB's styles- always looking for the decisive pass
I cite Everton away last season where Bruno played as the DM I think and played one of his best games

The moment Upstream Regulatory Commission transfered key departments to Lagos and not to Niger-Delta was when I knew PBAT's intention was not genuine. If CBN and FAAN claim transfering some departments to Lagos was to ensure they are close to the institutions they regulate, what reason would Upstream Regulatory Commission give for moving theirs to same Lagos? They say na office space...lol. Sha, mek him kuku relocate himself since renovation of Dodan Barracks was captured in the budget. Na to build new NASS complex there remain cheesy

It's only God who knows the end from the beginning. There's nothing like flip-floppy, if you support a manager based on his past achievements and records and he is hired but ends up not delivering, you have every right to call for his sack. It is this line of thought of yours that makes folks stick to their position in any debate regardless of what is put before them.

Go to Chelsea's thread and you find guys arguing unending even in the face of superior argument just because they don't want it to seem they're flip-flopping...A layman would be forgiven for rejecting the notion that the same man that coached Ajax to play that brand of high-octane pressing and wonderful possession football is the same person coaching the present United. For anyone to keep supporting a player or coach because they don't want to come across as flip-flopping, then that person is a clown.
But this discourse is stale, no?
We all already agreed that this united squad is no Ajax nah

Do you know what it is to spend 1b dollars and still look shyte? Not over 5 to 10 yrs o. 1b in 1 year.

Even Emzor.

You have an unproven Jackson as striker, and Emzor in midfield, then you go for Conceedo in the same midfield. Then you add Lavia in the same midfield. While you are doing all these you buy Lesley Ugochukwu in the same midfield. Meanwhile you are spending more money to buy rated youngsters like Santos and Casadei. In the same midfield. Then you have local hero and Chelshit legend Conor Gragra playing in the same midfield.
All the while you have Jackson as your first-choice striker.

He wasn't. He fits into the profile of players we already had in abundance. Sancho, Rashford, Garnacho. All better playing from the left. Garnacho looks good so far on the right but still not totally convinced cuz his shot power on the left is weak. But he's doing a job.

Makes me remember what Ole said about Sancho totally preferring to play from the left. Made things complicated.

It's just unfortunate Antony ended up a bum. Most times you can't predict these things.

If we had the funds, we'd have gone for Caicedo. Imagine the tears now. But man looked like a sure banger in any team. Now he looks like someone playing with construction boots.

Yes,Gakpo - he was the smarter and more logical option.

PSV were literally hawking Gakpo at a cut price dey find buyer- a player who was head and shoulders above Anthony but the useless ETH had some silly ideas in his bald, empty head.

Gakpo might not have exactly set the EPL on fire but at least nobody is talking about him, he was a proven player at PSV who cost Liverpool literally next to nothing.

Anthony's purchase on the other hand, is a testament to ETH's cluelessness and wastefulness!
It can't be the Gakpo that plays for Liverpool you are talking about like this
Liverpool have even been in a far better position than united in past years and you think Gakpo, a clearly average player will do anything worthwhile at united?
