Man u should stop all this academy nonsense.. look at the likes of Madrid.. They only go for ready made players... Players that will take 4 years to developed man u should avoid them...

How many academy players you see for real Madrid or PSG...

I do understand the point of going the younger players route given we had done ready made players several times in the past. But then, we should not be buying younger players for crazy fees and then expect the fans to be patient, else we go to our academy for players. If we had gotten Dorgu for 5-10m, I am sure no one would be calling for his head.

odizeey:
Why waste 30 million on what we have in our academy. Abeg abeg abeg.

Exactly. If we really have the time to be patient, then let’s give the academy players the chance, or buy under 20s player full of potential for 10m or less so we all can wait together.

Leyqute:
But we haven’t seen you complain about system and 3-ATB for a while.

I was away for a while.

patrickmuf:
I think I understand the argument of both camps. The club is in a precarious situation where we do not have the resources to spend at will so, it makes sense that any incoming should be one that will hit the ground running because we have to start putting results together not because we have anything to play for in the league but to lift the confidence in the team as we try to win the UEL and qualify for the UCL.

I also understand those who want us to be patient with some of the players, but the disagreements shouldn't always result in name-calling and all that...

We can’t be spending tens of millions on a player and be asking for patience. There is no time for that nonsense. If we are not giving our young Academy graduates (in the first team) time, why should we give a 22/23 year old bought for 30m time?

Leyqute:
Lol.

Nitrogen has stopped clamoring for Amorim to change his formation too.

Lool. The overall play has not necessary improved and we are not doing anything good or special tbh. Nottingham Forest always cede possession and City is nowhere near their best. Reason the team seemed to dominate possession and play slightly better. Did we not dominate and beat City the last time we met?

I hope we win Europa sha, we need funds to buy Amorim’s ‘type of players’ and at least make top 4 next season.

Which kind wahala be this?

Jamiuokolaa:
Anytime we counter, they seem so vulnerable and open

Garnacho and Dorgu had 2 great chances to score but they fluffed their lines at critical moments.

Very vulnerable. Unfortunately, we are still trying to improve our counterattacking play. If na that OGS side, City would have conceded three goals in 30 mins.

odizeey:
You'll think our striker will be the one open for all these passes sent into the city's box, but that one na who he won fight him dey find.

That guy don tire me. Kick-boxer!

We suppose don get two goals today. This City side is so meh!

eph12:
Who should he have brought in?

The like for like defender sub did not make sense in that situation. Unless he wanted Maguire to top strike with Erasmus.

Jamiuokolaa:
It seems to have become a norm that a CB must always come on for another..regardless of circumstances and tbh, i have struggled to understand why

Lmao

See where Maguire head ball to

I think he wanted to have Maguire upfront. Funny sub.

This guy is doing like for like defender sub when we need to boost our attack for goals. Nawa!

We deserve a draw, at least.

Finally!

afrodoc2:
Impossible.

Hmmm. I read it somewhere. Let me check.

Seems Amad is back.

Lol, someone was just telling us how Onana has saved us points.

eph12:
You're the one trolling now. Do you know how many points Onana has saved us? What has the striker done?

Onana saved us points? Where and when? Abeg!

eph12:
I think the goalkeeper is okay. We don't need another GK, we only need another striker

Which goalkeeper is okay? Except you are trolling. Do you know how many points we’ve dropped because of Onana? I don’t like him one bit.

eph12:
The same players you want them to sack the coach for? continue

Unlike you, I don’t have issues with all or most of the players. Everyone knows that we need another GK, but not another squad.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Arteta should tell this boys to shoot?
Outside the 18 shot can unlock this Manure defensive set up

This is actually true, especially with Onana, I don’t trust him at all.

odizeey:
People were buzzing for the new transfer. Okay.

But the players no tap for person wey buy them and them no still tap for who replace am.

It's not hard to know the issue.

Lol, so you are assuming that we could not have had a bad manager replace ETH. Amorim is not the man!

Goal Bruno!

Jamiuokolaa:
This table you want to shake ehn...

Bros, just free the matter - it's just a matter of time

The table lonnngggg! Almost everyone in here were buzzing after the signings. Now the players are useless! E muzz me, make I no lie.

Leyqute:
Garnacho is the most guilty of this. He thinks he’s the finished article even though he still has loads of room to grow. The new additions don’t seem to have this problem tho

But Garnacho was better under ETH no? You don’t think this is a matter of eroded confidence which could also have been due to the new manager/system etc?

CapitalCee:
If you understand English Language you will know I did not insult you.
I am not saying Amorim will win the league, but you wont know that when he is playing with a depleted squad lacking in quality and confidence. He even admitted he doesn’t have much time, when the time for Amorim to be judged reach we will all know. I am not among people who stupidly back managers, I was among those who first called out ETH, when signs are clearer. Calm down, its not clear yet, if Amorim will succeed or not.
Another of my points was on those bashing Dorgu, its too early, and the boy is really showing signs of working hard, thats the basis.

See timekeeper! You still never know after almost six months with no signs of improvement or even a sign that there will be signs of improvement.

Goosethetruth:
Manchester United are 140 years old.
Only three managers have won the league.
1. ERNEST MAGNALL 2. MATT BUSBY 3. ALEX FERGUSON.
This is football heritage according to Jose Mourinho.

I am not under any delusion or forlorn hope that Ruben Amorim can win this tough league even if he loads this team with 22 footballers that can play his system.
I have seen enough football to know in my mind that Ruben Amorim is NOT the one. He lacks the capacity. If INEOS trust him with money this summer I assure you that before December we will be discussing this same issue of a new manager.

My worry as well, which I have documented here many times. This guy is not looking like the real deal. If we spend massively under him, we would be wasting funds and stuck with Amorimball (whatever that is) players.

Leyqute:
You get ittt. The squad is thin, we’re putting 17 year olds on the bench, and we risk more injuries with the starters. But noooo. Agenda must agend

When the squad was fat, what did we achieve?

Jamiuokolaa:
I only joined in the 2nd half and tbvh, I no see anything wey Fulham play..

It's like the situation is worse than initially projected

You are correct. Fulham was shyte, but we were worse. I don’t know how we plan to get past Real Sociedad.

Goosethetruth:
Manchester United's season should be over by Thursday.
Then the deluded hope shifts to next season when Amorim obtains the players to play the system....lol...

Naso.

Oasis007:



.....its fine. We move! Let’s focus on the Europa League.

lol. You think we can win Europa. Sidon there!

Why did Chido not fall down? Inexperience? Cos that would have been a penalty.

Good ball from Dalot. No be everytime we go dey blame you.
