Wetin? Apart from Arsenal and City, why ur blood dey hot??

About 9 Matches within a Month Bro?! We will be playing without Bailly, Jones, Fellaini, Carrick and maybe Matic.

I hope Fatigue won't tell on the Players, also pray there won't be more additions to the injury List.

Oh Lawd of Mercy!

I started the GW with 7 Points but ends it with 60 Points. Thanks to my Captain Fantastic - Salah! He's making every GW a Sallah for me.

LoRdCaT:
who is this fool? who is in third place? keep showcasing your stupidity, anuofia.

You really get time to engage the Dolt?! Ignore the Twit, free him to keep displaying his Madness.

elrony:
Make I go buy Salah, they should deduct 20 points sef I don't care

From the Day I bought Salah, cap him, till now...... I've never regretted having him in my Team.

Moyes......?! SMH

I didn't know what Sir Alex saw in him..... I wouldn't be surprised if he's sacked before January.

Eseose9:
I think he meant "unless"and not "useless"

Thanks for the Clarification Sis!

edi287:
I meant unless obviously...does "useless" make sense in that sentence and going by my previous comments??

Sorry for the misconception Bro!

edi287:
I'm not wishing for him to get injured, I'm trying to highlight just how difficult it'll be for Nacho to break into the first 11.

But is he really useless for Leicester City presently?!

edi287:
Mahrez mainly plays as a RW. Nacho was bought to play mainly as a SS and fill in for Vardy occasionally. Puel has come in with a different style and is playing Mahrez behind Vardy. With the results so far, I don't think he'll move Mahrez back to the wings useless Gray gets injured.

When are we gonna stop praying for Shortcuts to achieve our Objectives?! Gray is a Beast, he's untouchable at the moment. He's in the Team based on Merit.

Pls stop wishing him Injury, coz that's very bad!

BascoVanVeli:
Racism at times might seem to exclude a certain portion of the particular race but it is still good old racism. If Nigerians are being benched in the top leagues for the simple fact that they are Nigerians then it is racism, the fact that we only have 2 regulars is at the least suspicious.

Victor was a Starter before he got injured, and I'm certain he's gonna be back in the Fold once he returns to full fitness.

Ndidi is playing Week in Week out at Leicester City, he's a guaranteed Name on the List on every Match Day.

Iwobi is an intergral Part of Arsenal. He's competing with Ozil and Sanchez for the starting Berth, hence him being on the Bench is justifiable. He's having the same Fate with Elneny, Walcott, Wilshere, Coquelin and Co in the Team. And he's starting Cup Matches regularly.

Moses Simon, Ekong, Shehu, Idowu, Aina, Ebuehi, Ogu, Onazi, Mikel, Ighalo, Agu, Nwakaeme etc are Starters for the respective Clubs, so where is Racism coming from?!

safarigirl:
I don't want Enyeama in that World Cup Team List.

I don't want Martins or Ike Uche either.

Let all of them sit at home and support the players from their base like John Ogu was doing when he was frozen out.

At least Enyeama dey try support the team sef, wetin Martins dey do?

Thank you Sister....... I'm kinda happy with your Submission. Hypocrisy is; if you are craving for the Return of an unfit Enyeama, but doesn't want an in-form Martins near the Team.

They should all stay far away from the List and allow the young Bloods to enjoy their moment.

Danielnino00:
Nobody is denying that Obagoal is proven goalscorer...he bang goals everywhere he goes... But you seem to have forgotten that he has been frozen out of the national team since the 2010 world cup... in fact he has made just 4 appearance for the super eagles since 2011..
If his quality was needed so badly in the team why did the likes of Keshi,Siasia and Oliseh ignore him??


Its now that our crops of youngsters have worker hard to secured the world cup ticket that you want Martins to join the train to Russia abi??

Abeg,we made it this far without him and the oldies.. We can go further still without them...

Kindly revisit the bold part of your Post, Bro..... it's kinda hilarious. So because Martins was frozen out by the previous Coaches and he wasn't part of the Team that qualified us for the World Cup, hence we should sentimentally ignore his Qualities?! Lol!

I hope you can answer this simple Question bro..... do you want Enyeama in the World Cup Team List or not?!

Icon4s:
I have said my own about Iheanacho here from the start but almost got stoned for it.

The hype was too much.

Chief.... let's preach against the Hype and start facing the Reality!

MetalJigsaw:
Guy, what brand of beer do you like?

Can you tell why he deserves a Bottle of Drink with the Post?!

How I wish Forgiveness ain't making his Intentions too obvious like the Rest of us - coz he wouldn't have been tagged a Bigot.

Danielnino00:
I dunno why some people are making such a big deal of Martins current form..

Isn't this the same Martins that scores anywhere he goes??
From Newcastle to Inter to Levante to Rubin Kazan to Seattle Sounders... So what's the big deal if he is bagging hat tricks in China??

If Rohr feels he doesn't need him in the team then its totally fine.. He's he had chance with the SE . Now is the time for others to step in!

Did you understand your Post at all?! You claimed Martins is a proven Goalscorer, yet he should be ignored for a Call up?! Lol!.

I'm ain't advocating for his Invitation, but if Dudes are clamoring for the Recall of Enyeama based on past Glory, then what's wrong with the Invitation of Martins based on proven Records as listed by you?!

You are contradicting yourself Dude, coz based on your Submissions on Martins, he deserves a Call up!

COOL10:
.
I just wanna see the guy play ball. I get to see others not matching up to his caliber start while he isn't even making the bench? Come on. Call me passionate and I'll accept but u can't deny there's some truth in what I said. Anyways,he'll just have to fight for a starting spot or just automatically turn into a super sub. I don't think a loan move will be good for him.

Can you tell who Iheanacho should replace in the present Leicester City Lineup?! Do I need to tell you Mahrez is playing behind the Striker in their present Setup?!

So the Question is; can Iheanacho bench either of Vardy or Mahrez at the moment?! Ahmed Musa is relegated to the U23 Team, no one is crying Racism or Politics here, then why are we suspecting Foul play because Iheanacho is only making the Bench?!

Why is Ndidi playing?! Seems there are no white Competitors for him in the Team?! Let's be objective and face the Reality; Iheanacho must up his Games to get a Spot in the Lineup. Even on the Wings - Gray and Albrighton are untouchable, remember Gray was a Bench warmer under Ranieri and Shakespeare. He's getting his Chance now, coz he fights for it.

goldfish80:
Well said. Sometimes we tend to be more cheer leaders than analysts.
If I'm to be brutally honest, I will tell you that Nigerians are hard wired to always play the victims card. We blame everyone and everything for our woes.
Someone will hit his foot on a stone, he will blame his village people.

Kelechi have not been good enough. That's just what it is. The Leicester City coach is not even English, his job is on the line. Why would he deliberately sabotage his team by putting a performing player on the bench?

You've said it all in the bold Part Bro. Always looking for Excuses to console ourselves. The same Puel was sacked by Southampton in the on-going Season for failing to meet up the Expectations.

He gets the second Chance at Leicester, and some Dudes think he's gonna compromised it by being racist - in the sense that he's not playing Iheanacho.

When Shakespeare was relieved, it was celebrated on this Thread, Dudes were hoping Iheanacho gonna get enough playing Time under a new Manager. So are we envisaging the Sack of Puel too, coz he's not playing him?!

The worst part of is; some Dudes are beginning to eat their Words, regretting Iheanacho left the drilling School for a first Team football. That's really not funny! Iheanacho is not god of Africa Football, he should buckle up, fights for shirt simply by improving his Game and lives up to his Potentials on the Pitch.

BascoVanVeli:
I think it is too much of a coincidence that most our players are getting limited game time in the big leagues. Racism has many faces.

Bro.... our Players ain't the only Africans in the major Leagues, and why Ndidi is playing Week in Week out for Leicester?!

Kog45:
Honestly we are too double standards when it comes to our players.

Ahmed Musa did not received the same sympathy Iheanacho is receiving here when he was frozen out of our the teamn,nobody blamed the managers then,it was Musa has lost it,no need to call him again.

Iheanacho should just brace up and face the challenges,not too big for him can is he has the quality.

Kayode didn't make the Bench last Night for Girona, Forgiveness was called out for Mockery. Iheanacho didn't make Bench for Leicester City, it was tagged Politics and Racism.

Double-standard at its Peak!

Humility017:
the most important thinh is they all stay fit for the world cup games....
the truth is...had it been KC was English he won't be treated this way....though him moving to leicester wasn't a wise move..


I want him and musa to at least play weekly even if it is in EPL 2...(elite under23 team)
most important thing is that they keep fit...we all know what they can offer when they're on the SE colors.

I think no playtime never really affected Ahmed musa performance I watched his pass to iwobi against Argentina...there was much brilliance in it and doesn't look like an assist from someone who has not been getting game time....

Bro.... we should try to be objective when discussing Issues related to Nigerian Players, especially Iheanacho on this Thread. We are always too emotional and also look for flimsy Excuses to vindicate the dwindling Performance of the Lad.

Ndidi was signed in January, he walked straight into the Lineup and has never looked back till now. Imagine a Player signed in the Middle of the Season that still won an Award at the End of the Season?!

Is Iheanacho better or more experienced than Slimani?! No one is hating on Iheanacho, neither the Manager is playing Politics with his Exclusion from the Team's List.

Luke Shaw is an English Player, he was the most Expensive Teenager when he was signed by United, so do we say JM is playing Politics by not playing him?!

Until Eric Bailly is injured, he was a Starter while an English Man in Smalling was rotten on the Bench.

Pls..... we ain't helping Iheanacho by overhyping him or creating Excuses for his exclusion from the Lineup or the Team List. If he justifies to play, he's definitely gonna be played, and we shouldn't be regretting his Move away from City.

Skimpledawg:
So many shitheads on here mehn

An Infection spreads from Chelsea's Thread!

Skimpledawg:
Hahhahhahah

I was almost going to call your line

I didn't miss the nonsensical Call, rather intentionally ignored it - coz it came from a dippy Being.

Some residential Rodents are better ignored than giving Attention. Lol!

TALKING POINTS FROM UNITED'S TUESDAY TRIUMPH


LINGARD STAKES AWARD CLAIM

Jesse Lingard not only killed the game - scoring just two minutes after Abdoulaye Doucoure had made it 3-2 with Watford's second strike - but he also threw down the gauntlet for Goal of the Month, if not the Season with an amazing solo run that started deep inside United's half. The no.14 said afterwards: "I just remember picking the ball up and thinking there’s a lot of space on this pitch. There was nothing else on at the time so I felt I had to be direct and go for goal. A lot of their fans were up [at 3-2] and we had to regain our composure and calm down on the ball. I think there were about seven minutes to go [including injury time] and the fourth goal settled us down."

YOUNG'S HAPPY HOMECOMING

It was a night to remember for Ashley Young as he made a triumphant return to Watford, the club where he started his career. Despite his history with the Hornets, he was in no mood to do them any favours and he lashed in a ruthless opening effort before punishing a foul on Paul Pogba near the edge of the box with an unstoppable free-kick. "It was obviously a nice homecoming. I don’t think their fans were too happy about it but it’s one of those things. If I score goals, of course I’m going to celebrate."

FOUR GOALS ONCE AGAIN

The Reds' quartet of cracking strikes - started by Young's double and completed by Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard - means United have now racked up four goals in seven separate matches this season. The overall tally for the season now stands at 49 ahead of the Arsenal game on Sunday, while the number of different scorers has risen to 13 with Young becoming the latest name on that list.

THREE MUSKETEERS AT THE BACK

United's central defensive trio all had reasons to feel positive about their busy night against a strong Watford attack. Victor Lindelof has now started three Premier League games in a row for the first time, Chris Smalling's experience was invaluable in the latter stages under the cosh and Marcos Rojo tasted league action for the first time since April. The Argentinian's rustiness may have been a factor in the foul for the Hornets' penalty but he'll surely still take heart from clocking up the full 90 minutes in a victory.

MARTIAL MATCHES HIS TALLY

Anthony Martial's well-taken finish from the edge of the box in the first half was the irrepressible Frenchman's eighth goal of the season already in all competitions – equalling his tally for the whole of 2016/17. Martial was once again the tormentor in chief, with his pace and trickery causing all sorts of problems to Watford’s back three before he was substituted on 65 minutes. Mourinho admitted afterwards that the recent accumulation of matches had taken its toll on the forward, with the no.11 now starting the last four matches since the international break. But he's taken his game to another level already this term and, if he sustains this, there’s no reason why the 21-year-old cannot emerge as United’s top scorer come the end of the season.

HALF-CENTURY FOR IBRAHIMOVIC

Zlatan Ibrahimovic made his 50th appearance for the Reds in all competitions when given a late cameo at Vicarage Road; the veteran striker has now come off the bench in the last four games to ease his way back into action following his remarkable recovery from a serious knee injury. The 35-year-old didn’t have much time to make an impact and is yet to get on the scoresheet since his return but has already given the squad a huge boost. The Swede will soon be ready to start games again and he will give Mourinho another striking option which will be most welcome during a hectic December schedule.
