Lukaku won't sit on the bench like Ighalo is na

It's the talk about style that made me reference ighalo. I believe Ole doesn't fancy him.

Nezzjnr:
Baba dey miss for big games

I can never forget that match we played against City wey Lukaku suppose clear ball

That Sunday evening was a long one

Botfuss:
Lmao. There’s nothing to check alaye. Bruno can only pray to be at KDB’s level.

Alaye I'm all for criticisms but which one be pray again?

The kdb sef wen Una dey shout how ballon d'Or or fifa e don mount podium. Like he has been voted best midfielder for the past few years?

Which ball him dey play pass the one wen we dey see.
Bruno, for now might be rated lower than him but there is nothing that he will do that Bruno can't catch up to. Shey we go see their ball next season.

Nezzjnr:
But he played well under Mou

Have you watched Lukaku against Top seria A teams??

I don't watch serie a.

He dey play nonsense?

GloryIsaac:
Someone that said the team wasn’t playing well when they won 4-0 consecutively... I was one of the first fake fans

Back then, the options were

“play beautiful football and lose, or play badly and win”... like it’s white and black

Okay. You are certified fake fan.

Those 4 goal wins deceived me sha. Na later my eye clear. Baba con dey lose anyhow dey cap nonsense. I enter fake fans.

Nezzjnr:
We no Sabi say Mou and Lukaku na scam

Lukaku no be scam jor. Na that Mourinho. The rejected one.

Expert17:
Not like Firminho but better than Lukaku

Ole no get any style wen no go suit Lukaku abeg.
No be goal we dey find?

GloryIsaac:
Lmaooooo.. I don’t think you were on here at that time, it was hot.

I was here na. I don try here. You were real fans. No lie.

Expert17:
Don't forget, his main target was Haaland.

He then switched to Joshua King before bn left to choose btw Ighalo and Rondon.

I've not watched Halaand much. Does he switch?

Expert17:
OLE want a front 3 like that of Liverpool.

Lukaku no fit play that style.

Why him con sign ighalo?

Expert17:
Scammer?

A very good player, but his game style won't suit OLE...... He will succeed at Inter-Milan and clubs like Juventus, Ath. Madrid.....

Don't forget he has more goals than Drogba in EPL.

Which type of play ole dey even play?

Ole no want am. No be style anything. I no dey see the unique style wen Baba dey play.

GloryIsaac:
Powerful times

I think United won their first three matches of that season 4-0 consecutively, but a good number of us saw loopholes in it.

The team could play absolute sh!t for 70 mins and suddenly pop 3 goals in ten minutes. Well, that kind of football wasn’t sustainable as we rightly pointed out.

Some devilish EPL teams punished United for that 70 mins of sh!t.

This is my problem here. Everyone forming Saint obi.

"Na we point am out". Abegi.

Nezzjnr:
Who can remember the Period of the Fake fans and Real Fans here during Mou's Era

Then Lukaku just dey scam us with Tapins.... If you complain... Real Fans go tell you make you go support another club

E be like na real fans I been dey o. I con port to fake fans.

handelex:
Well Virgil came January of that season they lost the CL final to Madrid. The Karius masterclass, he played that final.

Yeah. The thing is that, don't write this team off.

handelex:
Thanks to Virgil and Allison. For now I trust the work Ole is doing, just hope he has it in him to bring that much needed tweak.

Virgil came in January. He ended that season with them.

Same way Bruno came January and we've seen improvement.

handelex:
Yes I truly commend OGS and the boys especially since Bruno came, we looked unplayable at times but you can't just but deny the fact that Brendan Rogers handed us that 3rd spot on a platter. Any other season and we won't be making that top 4 and even the boys looked drained and spent towards the end. Now whether they can really keep up the tempo for a long congested season is my fear seeing they nearly died over a short period of playing that scintillating football we all loved?

As we will struggle next season, so will others struggle too. The grass is not always greener at the other side.

One thing that makes me relaxed is that we don't concede too many goals.

eph12:
Prime gini? What did these players do after leaving United? Only Di Maria and that's because he went to PSG.

That we don't contest for the league is down to the coach, not the players this time around

The thing burst my brain. I feel we have a decent squad. Our coach just need tweak his tactical approach. One thing going for Ole is his man management and idea of the kind of people he wants in his team.

handelex:
I guess its the year we came 2nd under Mou that Pep won one of his most comfortable league title because we were not putting a damn pressure from 2nd spot. What happened the next season then?

Liverpool who were 25 points behind city lost the league on the last day the next season, while second position was nowhere to be found.

Anything can happen Baba. We have a decent squad. Just a little tweak and we will taste victory.

handelex:
So di Maria can flop but Sancho can't? In what way was Ibra and Rooney washed and finished then? Don't get me wrong I'm all for Sancho but then don't get too excited, our team needs lot of work.

Sancho's probability of flopping is very low. The odds favours him. Good on both wings, English boy, etc.

Rooney don wash since lvg. He was not the same Rooney we knew. He played deep. His game changed. As for Ibrahimovic I don't have anything to say to you. No serious team would have even used him as a starter then.

I know our team needs work but that doesn't stop us from winning the league or competing strongly in it next season.

handelex:
Lol.. can you honestly say then that this our current team is at the level of that Liverpool team that came second to City and won the league next season?

Go and see 2017/2018 table.

handelex:
It's not about writing the team off completely. Their are stages in the development of a world class team, so when you know the stage your team is at currently, you won't over hype or underrate them. Right now in our development curve, we still need atleast two transfer windows to properly build a world class team and trust Ole to upgrade himself tactically too. The league isn't a cup competition were you can just shithouse your way to the final like Portugal did when they won Euro, it's a marathon that requires solid consistency which our team currently lacks.

We lack consistency and we were able to displace third position last season. Clap for yourself.

handelex:
Bros calm down, we've had prime deGea, di Maria, Rooney, Van persie, Falcao, etc yet no level. Under Mou we had Pogba, Ibra, Lukaku, no level.

Be like you feel say na ote you dey talk to.

Di Maria wen flop?
Rooney wey be don wash?
Van persie wen don wash?

Falcao? Are you kidding me?

Ibrahimovic wen been don wash. Not like we bought Ibrahimovic of 2010. PSG don use am finish. Although he gave his best.

Bruno, Sancho and Pogba dey hot now.

I'm not including Greenwood, Martial o.

Our defence dey well. Nawa sha.

If we win league or come second now same you go talk say "I knew it. We would go far".

I dey observe you o. Keep up the momentum.

handelex:
Really? Abeg how many points Liverpool take pass us for league table again? And you think Sancho alone can make up that gap? Hmmmmm.

How many points city take pass Liverpool 2018? How e be the next season?

How many players did they buy?

Segedinho:
Today is a sad day for me


I lost my 1st unborn baby.

Sorry bros.

This won't happen again in the name of Jesus.

Pogba, Bruno and Sancho in your team and you can't compete for league? Just close stadium and go home.

handelex:
We've come a long way no doubt and we're hoping quality players will be added to the squad and more deadwood cleared, but realistically, even Pep and Klopp will struggle very well to win the league with this squad, so many holes to be addressed. I'm very optimistic about our progress but let's not get carried away abeg. The quality gap between Liverpool, City and our squad is very clear.

Forget all these talks. We can win the league with just the addition of Sancho.

Seems you guys forgot how wonderful Fred was for us last year till Corona came up. What about Mctomminay? Rashford? Our attack if good. Just add Sancho and that will make a huge difference. Our defence is good also.

Just de gea wen dey go on and off, and he even had 13 clean sheet in EPL, while the highest was 17.

Some of you don't rate our players at all.

Don't reduce the bar in a bid not to get emotionally hurt, if it doesn't happen. But we can win the league.

Nezzjnr:
I shock as I see am

Omo. I'm weak.

dubylhover:
Oga you dey mind them? Bruno gave 2 clear cut chances to rashford and greenwood within the space of 3-5 minutes,they couldn't even control the ball,in united front 5,who presses for the ball better than him?

I'm not even bothered about criticisms on Bruno. He no dey pay me to defend am na.

I'm just concerned that people are saying "if I talk them go pounce on me".

Counter opinions go dey. The only major time I know, someone was challenged was when Oasis talked about his misplaced passes. And even people saying "if I talk..." right now we're among the ones who challenged the man.

The only set of people that can stop me from saying my mind on this platform are Seun and his mods. Any other person can kiss my back side.

Leyqute:
The Mkhi comparison no be here. But he's strong mentally and that was Mkhi's main problem.

Mhki disappointed me sha. I liked that guy.

Leyqute:
Bruno has been okay for us but there's room for improvement. That's been my opinion about him even when he was making assists. I still called him Penandes yesterday.

There always room for improvement.

People are now scared of praising Bruno on here. Cos criticizing him with "style" is the new black.

I'm not saying he's perfect. But this thing go soon form to become agenda.

Guide your thoughts with all diligence.

Bruno wey won kill that keeper with shot na him person dey compare with Mhiki. Omo. E be things.
