All these scummy never still realize say them get the players Na coach poor tactics Dey hinder them. Lukaku for Belgium Dey score goals. See Sanchez wey Dey hot for arsenal don regressed badly, u think it’s a coincidence. Mou rely on individual brilliance, mistake from opponent and set piece to win in the past and now but those things are no longer working for this modern footballers. It is called indomie generation for a reason.

Did we ask for your jamboree Analysis?!

If Lukaku was Sango (god of thunder), he won't still be able to STRIKE!




Culled from Twitter

Lukaku we paid Everton £70m for vs Lukaku they sold to us!

After spewing all the Gibberish above, Ed still does not have Ball to kick the Eediot into Wilderness cum sunken Place?!

“I have to say that Juventus is at a different level and if people doesn’t want to accept that, it’s their problem. I always try to be honest. They have a different level of quality and stability and experience and knowhow and at the base of the team, they have Bonucci and Chiellini.

That’s the base that allows them to play with the freedom that they play in attack. With Cristiano [Ronaldo], with Dybala, with people creating. Losing the ball? No problem, we are here. Lose the ball? No problem, we are here, so I think probably the effort of the boys would deserve a goal in the last minute of the second half.

"We deserved a draw, a point, but it was not possible. But I have no complaints with my boys. I have a positive feeling towards their effort and on Sunday [against Everton], we have another match to think about.”

- JOSE MOURINHO

“I think Juventus are this kind of team that, when they are in front, it’s very, very difficult to concede a goal. I think our attacking players were not with, what I say in a funny way, ‘honey in their feet’. Things were not coming [off], but everybody tried, everybody was strong, everybody was strong mentally to try until the end.

"Juventus felt it and, instead of the control they had in the first half, in the second half they defended and they ended the game with an extra central defender to add to the amazing [Giorgio] Chiellini, the amazing [Leonardo] Bonucci. Mr Bonucci and Mr Chiellini could give some Harvard University classes about how to be a central defender.

"A team with everything - they have talent everywhere, all over the pitch. So it was a really difficult match for us. I thought before the game, and during the game, I thought that we could take something out of this game, but it was not possible. We didn’t manage to score but I'm happy with the players.”

- JOSE MOURINHO

“A bit [far] gap between Juventus and United. A bit far. Juventus is champion for seven years, you know. Two Champions League finals in the last four or five years and they are not happy with what they have.

"They go for the best players in the world. A big club with a big past but a big desire also to have a big future. Everything they put there to try to win, I don’t say the Champions League, I say to win the Treble.

"That’s what they want as normally they win at home. The Treble for now, is not theirs yet, it is ours. But I think they are really close to it.”

- JOSE MOURINHO

“Since the draw, we've known it's going to be a fight with Valencia for the second position and that is what we are going to try [to do]. We knew that since the beginning.

"We have four points, three matches to go. In every match we can get points like today - we could get one. But I believe this is going to the last match in Valencia which is a normal situation when the group has a super team like Juventus and two good teams like us and Valencia.”

- JOSE MOURINHO

“The player [Lukaku] is a fantastic professional who wants to give everything for the team but I have to agree, his moment is not sweet. Not just for the goals he’s not scoring but his confidence, movement and touch.

"He is not linking the game well with the team. But he’s our striker, he’s a good striker and a striker we believe in. Could I play Rashford there? Then I don’t have a winger as we’re in this difficult [injury] situation.

"He’s a hard-working professional. One day the goal will arrive and the confidence will be back.”

- JOSE MOURINHO

Football has left Mourinho. The Scam belongs to Fergie Era, and the earlier the Board understands this, the earlier the Team is redeemed from the sunken Place.

Scholes ain't just a Human, he's also a Deity cos Albinos are half Human, half Deity. He's right after all, for never believing Mou is the right Man for United.

.......... United will be great again!

Likaku needs to control his pathetic Weight. He needs to slim down before he turns to Akinfenwa the Beast!

It's so annoying he's getting older faster than his Age in size, body structure and appearance.

ChristineC:
seem he's setting up for quick breakaways, but do they still remember how to counter attack? that's a big question.

No one can tell the Plan until the Match begins. I expect Mata to play 10, and hope he's gonna be handy making decisive passes in the Match.

Though I'm a bit afraid Mata might have lost his mojo as a Playmaker, but I expect him to fire up and grab this rare Opportunity to becoming a Regular Week in Week out.

On Paper the Lineup seems ok, cos there are more attacking minded Players in it. Does Mou plan to attack? I can't tell now!

Personally i believe the Team is getting in Shape gradually. I am not a fan of Rohr but the Continuity seems yielding a positive Result.

I wish Rohr can play the below Formation in our next Game!


.............................. Uzoho ..................................

Aina......... Ekong ............... Balogun........ Collins

.................... Etebo............. Mikel (c) ...................

.............................. Iwobi ....................................

Simon .. ............... Ighalo ...................... Musa



Subs;

Ezenwa (GK)
Ajayi (RB, CB, DM)
Idowu (RB, LB)
Kalu (LW, RW)
Onyekuru (LW, RW, SS, ST)
Success (LW, ST)
Ogu (DM, CM)

Frankly speaking, criticism of Ighalo on this Thread ain't fair and objective most times. How many Goals have Lukaku scored for Manchester United this Season?!

The same Lukaku who is failing to bang Goals for United this Season, is banging Goals for Belgium. Same thing is applicable to Rashford, cos his Stats with the Three Lions are improving significantly compared to his Stats at United.

The Common Factor is easier to identify; both perform for their National Teams but failing at United. Why?! Mourinho's Tactics!

Ighalo is being starved of Assists (clear-cut Chances), thus how do we expecting him to be banging Goals?! Can you Guys compare Midfielders and Wingers that played with Yekini, Obagoal and co to the present ones?!

The Chance he missed against the Argies ain't that Spectacular?! It ain't a tap-in Chance he missed, neither the pass was laid to him in the Box, so why Fuss or Wailing?!

Several Times we said on this Thread that Iwobi is more needed in the Team as a Playmaker not as a Winger, but we were asked to shut up! As a Lady opined, Guys too get emotional on this Thread.

The Thread is maturing, growing in Pages, but our Attitude and Emotion are getting Worse!

NFF can not do away with Rohr at the moment, cos he's maintaining Discipline in the Team. Tactically he's average, thus I would rather suggest he's made the Chief Coach and a tactcally sound Coach is hired as the Team Technical Manager.

Something I do not understand is; are Nigerians fickle - minded?! Because Kalu had a poor game, Onyekuru couldn't prove himself in the GWG Shirt yet, then we should bin them for another Players?!

Seem we have forgotten there is a Player called Simon Ajala Moses?! The reason he didn't play a Minute in both Legs is because; he's not fully fit yet and Rohr didn't wanna gamble with it.

Kalu is a deputy to Moses on the RW, while Onyekuru is also a deputy to Musa on the left Wing. If Moses Simon is fully fit for the South Africa Match, I am 100% sure - Rohr will start him and relegate Kalu to the Bench.

Both Onyekuru and Kalu are young Players, they are still developing and gelling, Rohr should never discard or replace them in the Squad.

BTW........ Ighalo is back!

Up Super Eagles!

Icon4s:
They will definitely be part of the U23 set up if they are available to us. But that still does not stop Rohr from adding them to the SE when necessary.

I typically like a matured U23 team. IE U23 team with a good number of players that have played at Senior level. Like Uzoho, Awaziem, Kalu and Onyekuru are eligible for the 2020 Olympics. Remember also that Samuel Chukwueze, Kingsley Michael, Orji Okonkwo, Taiwo Awoniyi, Victor Osimhen, K. Nwakali, Sincere Seth are some of the players that would likely have risen to the SE before 2020 Olympics. And they are also eligible for the Olympics. Remember also that Ebube Duru, Ukouwem Utin and the rest of the U20 class are eligible.

If the coaches can make the right selections and these players are available. That would be a killer squad.

tbaba1234:
I think, we should have a standing under 21 team that plays friendlies during international breaks. That way, we can see which of the youth players might be ready to step up and cap some of the youth dual citizen prospects.

Good Ideas from the Elders, but I think it should be under 23 instead of under 21 @Tbaba!

Icon4s:
I agree with your first paragraph.

But on the 2nd paragraph any player who can add value, even if U23 can be invited.

The Reason for my second Paragraph is simply to accommodate Lookman, Eze and other talented Nigerian Players below the Age in the National Team.

Then they can be gradually Integrated into the Senior Team based on Merit. Names keep popping up every Hour as if Rohr can invite more than 24 Players at a go or lineup more than 11 Players for a Match.

We need to understand something on this Thread, Rohr can only invite at least maximum of 24 Players to the Camp at a go! Also we can't expect him to be changing Players in every international Match.

Any Player below 23 whether FB or Local should be drafted to the Olympic (U23) Team. Senior Team is already crowded.

Good Result............ I am very happy for Ighalo, Dudes gonna stop bashing him for a while, perhaps till after the second Leg!

komekn:
Agreed with question

What's the Question?

TheSuperNerd:
Charles Halliday's Oasis... Kilode? Lol

Seriously I am not happy with what I have been reading these Days. It seems you are the only Person that understand Forgiveness on this Thread.

You can't beat him by blabbering rather with convincing Facts, and whether he succumbs or not is left to the Audience.

I really don't get it anymore. What's happening to this Thread?! Must Everyone be on the same Page Everytime?!

I am certain there are many Adults, Family Men on this Thread, but why is everyone acting like Adolescents?!

I hope Sanity is returned in due time, cos this Thread is losing it gradually. We need to understand no one loses an Argument...... It's either you win or you learn.

Pls let's quit calling names, throwing tantrums at anyone with contrary views or opinions. Let's build our Arguments on Facts so that the Audience can pick one or two things from it.

eph12:
As much as I don't want to see Mourinho at United again, I don't think that the laziness is due to the tactical plan. Defensive teams even have to put in a shift for it to work. The players are not just willing to put in the extra effort required of a big team with ambition. It's either because they don't agree with the tactics or fitness level is poor, which means the fitness coach is doing a very poor job.

Why ain't they pressing, why are they conservative when defending?!

What's the Cause of the Laziness? Defensive Football in a conservative Manner. Our Players rarely press, rather shadow-marking and it's all down to the tactical Plan and Instructions of the Portuguese Salisu Yusuf.

I repeat, I want Mou gone, but will never wish for the Club downfall in the UCL.

Though I want Mou gone, but I really wanna see us winning Tomorrow. Can Mou turn it around? Can Pogba light up Old Trafford?! Can our Team play like a real Team, play real footie, not Moumouball?!

Hope to see United of our Dream, United we all know, used to and expecting from Mou and his lazy Army........ Tomorrow!

Ladies and Gentle Men of the House. Today na my Born Day o.

Happy Birthday to me.

And as part of Celebrations to mark my Birthday I will agree to call for invitation of any player mentioned here today. So for today ''they are all there''
Plus no arguments on any issue. I agree with everybody's opinion until 12AM 1st October.

Happy birthday big Bruh....... Wishing you more success in life like Mikel! You shall not miss any opportunity serve to you on a platter Gold like Ighalo. You shall not quit prematurely when your Sun is shinning like Moses.

kokaneprodigy:
STFU and answer the damn question. Your mentor Mou ain’t civil neither are you. Y’all are just blady hypocrites.

Na una get Problem?! I really do not understand your Frustrations bro?! You ain't part of us, you are simply an Outsider and you are taking the issue so personal like wetinnnnnnnn!

United Fans right now be like.............?!
