Hodjlund go dey breathe heavily like say he dey play one thing.
That guy dey provoke me.

eph12:
As long as your attack is dead, teams will comfortably throw players up front without any fear of conceding. Imagine that amount of opposition players camped in your half, why won't your keepers concede anyhow? Keep on changing keepers o

If them like make them buy prime Buffon, Casilas and Neur all in one, them go still dey pipe us.
You've said it all.

GK is not a priority buy. Barca was using Valdez to win trophies.

Jamiuokolaa:
Bayinde sef wan dey form Ball playing

I think that phrase should be banned in England till further notice

When they are ready, they'll look for a keeper that can actually keep

Onana is coming back.

With good players around, Zirkzee go fit play better. No be that gidigbo fighter.

You will enjoy Onana. Hehehe.

Even if it was Diogo Costa that was bought, we might still be in this position.

You guys want to deny how shaky our defence was? From Smalling and Jones to Maguire and Lindelof.

Martinez came in and De Gea won golden glove.

Make una dey lie dey go

This is not true. In DDG last 2 seasons with us,

2021/22 season: DDG had 128 saves in the league, the 3rd highest in the league.

2022/23 season: The season he won the Golden glove, he had 101 saves in the league. The 7th highest in the league.

In contrast, Ederson and Allison shared 2021/22 Golden glove and they were not in top 10 of saves in the league.

In 2023/24, Raya won the golden glove and he wasn’t top 10 in saves in the league either.

Yet when DDG won 2022/23 Golden glove, he was 7th in the saves ranking.

They'll tell you he was the one that attracted the shots. Hehehe.

They were just obsessed with the word "ball playing".

MRTA7:
Not sure where I have lied here. You seem to forget DDG was playing against us in his last 2 seasons. So many errors. People point to golden glove but our deep defence has a much to do with that than even DDG.

Deep defence was due to the fact that we had useless defenders and a useless coach.

afrodoc2:


Shameless. LOL

Hehehe

Leyqute:
But it didn’t stop you from selling form. Yeye guy 😀

I no sell form o

afrodoc2:
You that after UEFA Champions League Final came here to start sharing Onana membership card that i had to try to calm you down?

He try for that game. Hehehe. Shebi na ball playing una dey find na. I say make I follow una happy. 😂

patrickmuf:
No offence but it's just that I don't want to be associated with Onana...😂

Meanwhile, I don't think Buyindir is that bad, Amorim has rather been lenient with Onana because after that game against Arsenal, Buyindir deserved to start the next couple of games. I don't like it when a coach goes hard against certain players and then takes a soft stance when others are in the picture.

That was part of what finished Ten Hag

The other ball playing wey Chelsea carry, how e be for their eyes?😂

You carry dead players put for keeper front, and you dey expect am to perform.

Onana is even having it good. De Gea played with one of the worst CBs in history of football for years 😂

Puntingnoob:
Two truth can exist Degea was due for an exit then.

Lie. Nothing like two truths.

larride:
DDG that won the golden glove that season had to go?

We had no business looking for a goalkeeper talk less of signing Onana.

Most of them will rather stick out their heads in front of a train than admit this thing.

MRTA7:
Let's not revise history. DDG had to go. He absolutely had to go. The problem is most of us saw Onana perform well in the CL final and advocated for him. 2 things can be right, DDG had to go but Onana also has to go.

You lie.

De Gea didn't absolutely have to go. You just had to bring in good players. Hehehe.

You think Onana just because bad overnight?

That's why I laugh when you people say a keeper will make the team player well, when it's the other way around

Oasis007:


........I read posts comparing Onana and De Gea, and I couldn’t help but laugh. I implore everyone to read old pages from 13301 to perhaps 13305. LOL!

You won’t believe that some posters here actually led the campaign calling for the signing of Onana?! Capi.talCee and Patric.kmuf were fully in charge of the crew.

The campaign was so convincing that even Odiz.eey, the number one De Gea fan on this board, succumbed and joined the crew. LOL!

Well, na tha UCL final make me gbadun am. 😂

Plus, I wanted De Gea to go. The disrespect was becoming too much.

Jamiuokolaa:
Atimes, i think some of these opinions just come from the desire to trend.

"Ball playing" goalkeeper was the "buzz phrase" then and many people wanted to sound informed,in vogue and updated ..

Na Pep and Neuer i still blame for this rubbish sha

Make them show say them sabi ball.

Ball playing. Who no dey play ball for field?😂

Okay, let's say Onana is error prone, what happened to his ball playing? Why have we not seen the effect?

Jamiuokolaa:
The idea was to get a ball playing goalkeeper, they said.

It wasn't even about DDG's struggles and na this aspect pain me pass.

The game has evolved, we were told.

Atimes it's good to learn the hard way..lol

This thing still dey vex me. People were making it seem like the goal keeper is the most important person when a team wants to control games.

Now them don see say goalkeeper work na to stop goals. Their eyes go peel. How many games we control under the Onana?

Jamiuokolaa:
He is just a 22 year old striker bought from Atalanta..

What were you expecting?

The transfer fee wasnt his fault

He is still developing

Abi o

Beorn:
Onana is the reason I can never forget Eth. The fact we sold DDG for this dunce is the 8th wonder of the world.

That time dem dey curse us say we dey hate. 😂

All the players wey I like don comot finish, except Shaw wey don wash up.

All players wey dey do nonsense must collect.

Boxing (and most martial arts) is different. In combat sports making your opponent angry actually works in your favor because a calm and composed fighter is exponentially more dangerous than one who is fighting based on emotion. It is not a street fight.

But one saying he'll destroy his opponent can boost the opponent's morale to beat him

afrodoc2:
Even without Matic's response it was the wrong thing to say going away to their stadium. That is exactly why the journalists asked for Matic's response.

It is also not about modern political correctness. The usual thing is to just say they are a tough opponent and that we will have to play well to defeat them. It is not and has never been commonplace or wise to claim to be far better than an opponent when you are going to their stadium for a potentially tricky tie.

We should just agree to disagree on this one.

Na why I like boxing sha.

Bombblacks:
Are you joking or what?How old was Vini and Rodrigo when Madrid bought them and how many years did they give them to develop. How old is Endrick, Diaz and Guler? Valverde
plus Fran and Ascensio who broke into their first team this season are from their academy. Even Bellingham was 20 when bought and wasn't already made.

Facts.

nitrogen:
Exactly. If we really have the time to be patient, then let’s give the academy players the chance, or buy under 20s player full of potential for 10m or less so we all can wait together.

Naso. Not wasting heavy money on potential.

nitrogen:
We can’t be spending tens of millions on a player and be asking for patience. There is no time for that nonsense. If we are not giving our young Academy graduates (in the first team) time, why should we give a 22/23 year old bought for 30m time?

Why waste 30 million on what we have in our academy. Abeg abeg abeg.

CapitalCee:
At 23 Modric was still playing for Dynamo Zagreb, at 21 he was still playing for inter Zapresic, At 20 Palmerias sent Roberto Carlos on loan to Athletico Miniero. Harry Kane at 20/21 was at loan at Norwich and Leicester. Infact at Spurs at 22 Kane scored 4 goals in 19 games. If you want to win the league stop signing kids, go and sign experience players. That's the reason why Bellingham and Haaland agents refused to sell them to Manchester United, because they will used content and impatient kill their career before it even started

21 na old age for football these days. Facts dey to back am.

CapitalCee:
We need to urgently go for either Gyokeres or Osihmen, we also need Cuhna or another proven AM we could have gone for Kvara but he is in PSG now. All these Delap and Dibling I am hearing, you will bring them now, they will start adapting, then I'diotic fans will be expecting them to win the league.
A world class striker and A competent AM will massively improve the team

If Amorim goes ahead to accept mediocre players then he has to make them solid players. Because the fans will come for him and the players.

I just dey wait make he sign players first then see where they are at after about 3-5 months.

Jamiuokolaa:
If we need to sign proven goalscorers and creative midfielders before Dorgu improves his touch, passing and other basic areas in which a professional footballer shouldnt be found wanting, then his situation is worse than initially projected.

We are seeing basic gaps in a professional footballer with senior international caps, you are here playing some age-card. The same excuses that probably prevented Rashford from achieving his full potential and the same excuse that would most likely ruin Garnacho if care is not taken.



I dont care about those players because they don't play for Manchester united.

Dorgu is a first teamer bought to address a pressing issue with the team.

While he has shown promising signs, there are glaring gaps that need to be addressed urgently, if we are to reap the benefits of his signature fast enough.

Sincerely, this is my stand.

I don't have excuses for any player.

Just do your job properly. Although, younglings should be given some freehand. But abeg abeg. He's a wing back.

Na why I no dey buy any stupid player form. Performances na my concern.

Leyqute:
Lol.

He’s so hungry to get on the pitch.

He knows his time is up.
Hehehe

Luke Shaw just use dey warm up since first half. Make him leg no break o.

Unlimited22:
The don Is finito


But he's given the PL his best.

Yeah.
Maximum respect to him. He will be missed.
