This is what Ederson and the likes have been enjoying oh

I'm telling you.

Nice game. Difference in the defence.

Second half was not as good as the first. But if this was last season we would have conceded.

I like what I'm seeing.

Na November before Antony go play.

greypencils:
What is best for Ronaldo is to trust the process, eat humble pie for this one season, work hard to bring the club back the top 4 and regain ETH's trust so as to be resigned after his contract ends.

Let him be doing Mr Champions League

TrebleChamp:
You caught him

He wants to add a clause as Gorge Mendes wey him be

ChristoBam:
'E no mean say Bruno no dey talented'

See as some United fans dey allow some of these opposition fans to say shit about our best players.

Odegaard from where to where? Players dey ball for league, UCL, for their country. Go dey compare these players with one fraud because of small league form lmao.

You dey mind people
Comedians.

TeslaFC:
This is actually the bewildering aspect of it. Loyalty in the mud.

Sad

melodyogonna:
There is no bouncing back here unless he changes his playing style. Under Ole we were mainly counter-attacking, whenever he had the ball you had players already running. He fit perfectly into that system, even Ole told him not to change a thing in how he played. With ETH everyone knows the playing style has changed, this coach values possession and team play, now whenever anyone has the ball you have players coming closer to help build up rather than when we just played from post to post.
Bruno needs to keep his header closer to earth and start looking at helping buildup rather than looking to pad stats. If he doesn't improve soon he'll be benched.

There's no bouncing back unless... Just say there is no bouncing back. Don't create soft landing for yourself when he eventually gets back in form.

Oasis007:
You gonna have to ask Ole that made him fuckin Captain!!!

Comparing Slab head's impact to Bruno. You funny gan.

Karleb:
For some reasons, I think Bruno has been playing rubbish deliberately.

He'll bounce back to his glory days. We just expect too much from him.

That's why I wanted us to buy a CM. Takes the work off him. Score goals and drop those passes. Shikena.

Oasis007:


He's never great, never. He was good but not great. He was good because he's slightly an upgrade on McFred and rest riff-raff we were parading as AMs.

We shall see

The team should leave goals for Ronaldo. I can't find any clinical attacker in this team. Everyone should focus on his department.
Just score goals. No press anything.

Oasis007:


Dem say CR7 is the reason Bruno goals dried up. Same Bruno that is never a great AM. How I wish we can do a deal with you guys - swap Bruno with Odegaard.

Baba calm down.

Bruno is great. Same thing wey we dey talk about Ronaldo so.

LordAdam16:
Life na wisdom.

At the time, I did not think it was a terrible decision. Not great, but certainly not as awful it appears in hindsight. Yes, he'll score a ton of goals and win the PL. But the CL is Pep's Achilles and what happened last year against RM could very well still have happened with CR7 there. Then the narrative would be that he adds nothing, because everyone knows any decent striker would be on God-tier under Pep.

Coming to MU had a better payoff within the context of no trophies in 3 years. More importantly, it meant not falling out with the largest fanbase in the most lucrative football league on the planet when he's so close to retirement and has numerous business interests. Especially when he didn't leave Italy on the best of terms.

It's been astonishing how the fanbase turned on him. I know football fans are fair-weather folks, but it is a lesson in self-preservation. In hindsight, he should have gone to Man City for last season and this (although Pep's history with legend forwards like Eto, Ibrahimovic, and even Aguero leave much to be desired). Make new records and hopefully win the CL. Then offer himself to MU afterwards on reduced wages. Let the club and the fanbase refuse him, then move on.

Elite players like Ronaldo should never knowingly move to clubs that are struggling. Because the fans will expect the player to struggle with them when he knows he can thrive better in a properly set-up team. Worse, while the club will always be around, a player's retirement is right around the corner.

I've learned personal lessons from his forays and missteps. For instance, I never advice anyone against Japaing. No form strong head say u 1 dey "patriotic" and help Nigeria grow, if better opportunities await you. A nation of some form will always exist on this land, but your life get expiry date.

Man U fans were clapping when Antony refused to train and be included in match squads because he wants to move on to a better league. But how dare Ronaldo refuse McFred+EL.

-Lord

You've spoken well.

I was happy Ronaldo came o.

One, it looked like last season would be the season for Ole. But all of a sudden things changed.

But deep down within me, as a Ronaldo fan, I knew that City would have been better.

He should just relax and play with us for some time. I believe Ten Hag is going to achieve things.

TrebleChamp:
You will hear them say Haaland doesn't link up play well like Martial, has a poor first touch like Lukaku, doesn't assist the midfielders and many plenty more excuse to rubbish him ..

That's the problem. Everybody wants to follow one template.

Wetyn be striker work again?

Them go dey say modern football. You modern pass Pep wey buy Halaand? Same thing they do with DDG. Modern my assss

Karleb:
I remember a particular moniker here calling Ronaldo all sort of names because he was going to join City but months later, the same fellow is saying Ronaldo is our problem. It's funny how these people think really.

You see them posting their favorite starting XI with Elanga, Rashford and Martial and conveniently leaving out Ronaldo. If na Haaland abi Mbappe, at least I will understand but Elanga, Martial and Rashford? This thing is not funny.

Omo! I don tire.

That's life you o. That's life.

You have to be selfish with your inner peace ambition.

Let the transfer period end first. If Ronaldo is still here, he's starting every match comfortably.

TeslaFC:
Honestly, in hindsight, it was a wrong decision.

But I remember how he was dragged when news broke that he might join City.

Man was dragged across every major social media platform. Was called a snake and whatnot. Even here on Nairaland.

Even people calling him snake then have turned their backs on him.

He would have easily won the highest goal scorer last season.

TeslaFC:
Imagine Ronaldo went to City.

Now, Man’s here trying to prove to United fans why he should start ahead of Martial and Rashford.

Sometimes, this “looking for a challenge” and “respect Sir Alex” thing is not worth it sha

Ronaldo with harmful decisions. Na him do himself. Stupid challenges. See messi na. Kai. Ororo you do this one

poshemmanuel:
Rudiger and christensen left besides Thiago Silva is 37, koulibaly 31

Good. Keep buying

This one wey una dey sign defenders up and down, be like una dey try protect something wey we no know.

This one don pass football

Glazers suppose sign Osimen with immediate effect like this.

We no suppose dey look as Man City dey win league dey go na.

Naso Liverpool look we pass them o

Osimhen deal will make sense. I need rivals to cry more when we splash another 100 million

KingAzubuike:
Burner accounts. Those foreigners get like 20-30 different accounts. Na them dey do that nonsense pass .. each with different players . Eventually , like 7 matches until the season ends, you focus fully on one or five of the accounts with the highest points. That's how to win FPL or manager of the week and win some goodies.

If you get one account and think you can come out top out of millions , you're on a long thing.

Omo People are funny. Na game sha

KingAzubuike:
I gave up on FPl when I discovered you can't come out top or even win manager of the week without having multiple accounts. Those who trippled captained firmino over the weekend is a testament else who in the world will captain firmino not to talk of tripple captain. Multiple accounts shi. . Until FPL checkmates this, I no go put my full body.

I thought about this stuff recently.
I go start my own next season.

Omo. See fat L when them give my guy up there

The guy fit log out for two days

kozmicity:
Thanks chief... E pain me oo, I suppose dey near ninety points so

Naso the thing dey be. Sorry bro

kozmicity:
E be like say you no fit change captain in the FPL after the matches for that day has begun. Bruno and Sancho were my captains. Immediately after the game I switched it to Bernardo Silva and TAA, But the Points isn't refecting accordingly. Besides, on the points page, I'm still seeing Bruno and Sancho as my captains.


Someone please explain the workings to me

You can't make edits when the gameweek has started.

1 hour to the first kick off, you will have to wait till the next week for your changes to take effect.

Check youtube for visual explanation on how FPL works

Expert17:
Different excuse everyday,

Tomorrow go weather

He better sit up and be more goal focused.

patrickmuf:
Ronaldo wants out, no manager will be fine with all the drama...

Should remove him from squad then.

Why this man dey start Rashford and Elnaga?

The man serious so?
No dey bench Odogwu na.

Jodera:
What he did wasn't wrong in at all but like Patrick says, he should thank his lucky star that it was a calm Salah that approached him. If na rugged player and a fiasco ensue, he'll be carded for that fiasco he was involved in and who started it or who was right or wrong won't be considered. So it's a big risk he took seeing that he was on Yellow card.

Lupe Fiasco ni.
That's a good move by Bruno. They'll be the ones to collect card cos it's our ball and they were obstructing. Person wey dey win no dey fight.

Expert17:
I was surprised with the way Bruno was dragged on Twitter for this.

Man Utd fans won't kill me

Woke fans. Twitter for fair play
