Buharistically arriving!

Finally break into top 30. Next Target is breaking into top 20 before the Month runs out.

nitrogen:
Bros, nawa for you o, how come you only highlighted the part that suggests that Woody is useless? What about the other sections that say all players bought since Fergie left, were managers' requests?

It's apparent you wanna blame OGS again, guess you missed the highlighted?! As well as where Woodward admitted he takes the Decision (s) at times also?!

Marco Silva finally......?!

Roland17:
Coach Onigbinde I can see you have developed a soft spot for us by having Sok at the back. We no want abeg!

LMAO...... Na so una Players worse reach?!

3 Weeks straight, still in the Top 40 (32), I must break into top 30 perhaps after the Weekend Games.

Leyqute:
Amen o. Stubborn Ole might think otherwise.

He won't be stubborn to bench either of Fred and McTom, rather he would play Pogba as No. 10.

afrodoc2:
Nah. Don’t play Fred at RCM, I think that contributed to his initial troubles.
The team would have more balance with Pogba at RCM and Fred at LCM ( that is if Ole does not play Pogba as a no 10)

I wanna see Pogba plays as AM also, coz I don't want Fred to lose form or/and his consistency as well. Let's hope the Trio can play together - better than Anyone ever envisages.

Leyqute:
Pogba’s return nko?

Then we revert to 3-Man Midfield, with Pogba as LM.

Leyqute:
My fear is that he’ll drop form and football intelligence if he sits one match out.

I believe there is no Reason to bench him now, bar Injury.

afrodoc2:
Like i said earlier Garner is more like Carrick in style while Levitt is more like Scholes.

They might not have the quality of those legends but are similar in their style.

Levitt’s understanding of possession passing is better and is short n long passing is better too.

Problem is his lack of size n pace which means he might need more time to develop physically.

Garner is bigger, stronger, tackles and intercepts better and has overall better defensive game than Levitt. A much higher potential than McTom if he stays focused like the Scotsman.

Spot on...... Doc. I hope they develop and live up to their respective potentials.

Fred is consistently on the rise, I pray he gets it right sooner.

paafin:
Let Pogba leave??
We've been looking for the player that will unlock Pogba, we've tried a number of midfield players and none did. Mourinho unconsiously got one and we are gonna let Pogba go? What if Fred is the player we've been looking for??

LMAO......!

So na Fred be the Aaron of Pogba?! Wetin Talabi Audu no dey see for Sabo.

I think Levitt is more talented, good on/with the Ball than Garner.

Among the huge Mistakes made by OGS are extending Young and Mata's Contracts, keeping Rojo and Jones at the Club at the Expense of Smalling, as well as letting go of Herrera. Herrera would have helped to stabilize the Midfield along with Fred and McTom.

As Leyqute opined, if Pogba wanna go, he should be granted his Wish. He should be sold for at least £120m.... that gonna be enough to sign at least two decent Midfielders.

I think the best Formation based on personnel available at the Club presently is 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 Formation. If I am the Manager of this unfortunate, hopeless Club, I will definitely try out the below Lineup;

_________________ Leno ________________

Chamber _______ Papa ___________ Luiz

Bellerin ___ Xhaka ___ Torreira ___ Tianey

_________________ Ozil ________________

_______ Pepe ____________ Auba __________

I will instruct Xhaka to sit deep, while Torreira will have the freedom to operate as a B2B Midfielder.

Defensively, Xhaka will be joining the back three and the WBs to making it 5 Defenders, while both Auba and Pepe will be ready for Counter at any given Opportunity.

Mata is done as a Player. I expect him to retire and perhaps concentrate on his Blogging or joins Punditry.

afrodoc2:
Then i doubt he will be ready for that battle. He can take Juan Mata's place on the bench though.

I won't be surprised if he starts though, he don barb new style sef.....

afrodoc2:
Is Pogba fit?

Almost..

Trio of Pogba, Fred and McTominay gonna be interesting to watch. Hopefully we gonna experience it at Etihad.
