Loads of options? Nice!

dubylhover:
Are they even fit?

Well, they told us he worked on their fitness levels during summer/pre-season.

I actually don't think these players do anything else during training. Na only God go epp us.

I hope we win on Saturday sha, at least, some of these guys will quote my post, and say I no sabi football. Fundamental issues don't go away without proper solutions, so if we win two or three games consecutively, it doesn't mean we are back. It simply means we just moved up a bit, so we can fall yakata.

We need to win this weekend sha, morale booster is so necessary at this point.

iheanyi40:
D earlier we sack ogs and appoint a proper coach and experienced coach the better for us all,

Maybe we should just keep him around as the team's motivational speaker to keep reminding us of the United DNA and fergie era

Welcome sir. You have seen the light.

Shebi Na una sell without replacements. We are fuvking screwed this season.

Sold a beast to rely on inconsistent forwards with biscuit bones.

deenee:
You are contradicting yourself bro.

250-300 USD is approx 90k-108k in naira and this is just for a median household abroad. Now tell me how many of Y'all pay within this range per month in Nigeria?. You want 24 hours light yet you don't want to pay.

You think the people that have invested in the Discos are charity organizations?

Please y'all go and do your homework very well. We have the lowest tarrifs and even with that people don't pay their bills so please explain to me how you want the discos to be able to provide y'all with 24 hours light, be a going concern and expand business?

On one end NBET and TCN cant keep to their terms of engagement re transmission and pricing of gas from the gencos and yet they are charged even if the gas supplied gets to the discos or not.

The same discos have written several proposals to the FGN for them to source for electricity off grid from alternative sources like solar wind etc which will be more sustainable and cheaper in the long run, the FGN refused.

The agreement when GEJ wanted to privatise was for tariffs to be increased so the business case makes sense to any investor but he spoke about it and nothing happened because of his political ambition Subsequently, the serious investors withdrew their offers leaving the whole exercise at the whims and caprices of his cronies whom used the acquisition as an avenue to launder illicit funds.

Again the government of the day is trying to correct these ills and we are crying foul .

Light generation, transmission and distribution is not rocket science....sending an unmanned space craft into space or inventing a driveless car or flying space suit is

However no serious investor with expertise in this sector will put money down if the business case is not right.

Germany and a handful of the Scandinavian countries now depend totally on alternative sources of energy aka solar wind and human waste.
Small companies are even encouraged to generate and monetise with the govt having firm regulatory oversight.

Kenya now generates power from windmill yet leaving us behind. Maybe it's when we become like Venezuela that y'all will wake up.

And for those that claim I don't pay my light bills on my own. Please know that i do oh infact across two jurisdictions in residential and business capacity and i also know how much I spend buying diesel in both capacities in Nigeria.

Last note the internet is a very funny place where peoole just do desk top analysis and automtically feel that they gave become subject matter 3experts.

You are right. Collection is the main issue (bar transmission breakdown and capacity issues). One is the capacity of the discos to collect, the other (which is actually the major problem) is the willingness and ability of users to pay.

Quite unfortunate!

Our adversaries are picking maximum points. But at this age and time, we still believe that the premier league race is not to the swift nor the battle for top 4 is for the strong.

Safe journey!

BikeMan:
In your attempt to cover the Ls babyface is receiving left and right, you compared your useless style of play to Pep's and said he found it hard to score. How does a team that scored over 100 goals find it hard to score, na 200 goals them go score? Like Larride corrected you, they were scoring as they like, they just had issues conceding and he fixed that. You spend annually than this guy, this season alone you have spent twice on defenders, Pep has never spent that amount on a defender. Yet you're still getting fvcked by Palace at home. Next Transfer Window FC. JUST DON'T PUT OLE AND PEP IN THE SAME SENTENCE AGAIN. Thank You

Succinctly put. Well done!

thorrvik55:
At least my own rookie manager has a clear pattern he wants his player to play


After being at the club for close to two seasons now and getting his transfer targets, your own is still trying to figure which pattern of play to implement and who to play in the hole

Well, things may not work out for your club na. Life is messier than you think.

That said, your observations about us are correct, but a lot in here think some of us are just being pessimistic. They said he needs to buy more as if the board hasn't sanctioned many buys in the last 4-5 years with no fuvking result, they said he has a pattern of play, but yeah, maybe if you guys can help us tell them, maybe they will see the light.

Chelsea has won the league twice or so in the last five years spending less, but we must spend $2 billion before we get it right, as if money grows on trees. I don tire.

HOLE FC

Better go and face your own, you too have a rookie manager o, I am sure we would invade your thread very soon.

eph12:
I have decided to ignore him and that christo guy. I have no business discussing football with people that don't understand the game. Some just want to be shouting up manu

Hehe, football manager, what do you know about football? Your own is to keep shouting 'buy more players' everytime.

You don't understand football, you don't know business, infact, you know nothing!

Leyqute:
Potassium

Okay. All the best o!

Don't know why I see things in a different way sha, OGS is not doing anything o.

Anybody can improve players' fitness level. Managers handle things like:

-how do we play each opponent?
-what tweak do we make today against this team?
-positioning of the players (need to ensure your style matches abilities of the players)
-who plays in the hole today? Pogba, Lingard, Peirrera, Mata etc.depending on the opposition
-If I am not sure we will buy another striker, we don't need to sell yet
-compact football or we expand play?
-who takes penalties and freekicks? Not either Pogba or Rashford can play. Doesn't make sense.
-etc.

There are several things a manager does. Not to have baby face and be looking like 'oyinbo witch' every match day.

Leyqute:
You are minding nitrogen.

Everything na coach fault alone

No doubt, he is trying to get them to be fit, run more etc. Style and philosophy matter o. Those things he has done will only make them form 'activity' on the pitch, work harder to achieve nothing. You need to be strategic and also be flexible with your style every match day. OGS is just making them work hard and fail at the same time.

Running around won't make you win games, you need positioning, tactical running , etc. I don't see those things when we play, and you said the manager is working.

Hehe, I laugh at you guys.

elampiro:
It is not buy buy that fixes a team.

I am tired o, buy buy buy.....I still believe that the current set of players should easily make top 4 with the right style, level of motivation etc. The manager needs to get his acts right.

OGS looks so bereft of ideas.

OGS has only one style, counterattack ni o.

I laughed when someone said some of the players are not used to possession football. So, under Van Gaal, Martial and co never dey Man U? Under Mourinho, we sat back against the big boys, but dominated play against small clubs until the season he was sacked.

This thing is simple, OGS can't use the boys to break down defences when dominating play. What informed the decision of keeping our most creative player closer to the defence, if not because of counter attacks? Why continue to play Lingard in the number 10 role? OGS no sabi jare.

Meanwhile, we can't keep shouting complete overhaul, we have tried to do that 1m times. Bought midfielders and defenders, have also bought some attackers in the last 4-5 years. I think we have spent over 700m (need to confirm this though) with no progress. The board can't continue to spend heavily without results.

One final question though, where is Matic and Fred. This man should stop freezing out players, and get them to at least be on the bench. All these 'frapapas' will get him sacked earlier than we think. In fact with the way things are going ehn, OGS will be sacked next month.

It's not my squad... check FPL on Twitter, managers are crying.

Many managers have Rash and other man utd players because we played at home against a Crystal Palace side that played a draw against Everton and lost to Sheffield last weekend.

GloryIsaac:
....

Sorry ooooo!

Useless manager, legend my foot!

eph12:
Been busy since morning. Any positives?

So many positives.....

We have won only 3 out of our last 15 competitive games. Meanwhile, we won all our pre-season games o.

Enjoy yourself band boys. We run away to fight another day.

All the best!

Oro radarada!

He was fouled though.
