Fred's passing is an eyesore... damn!

We don enter one chance, Bruno and Rashford form both drop at the same time. No be this same Palace Leeds and co use rub ground like rag.

Rashford with his customary missed chance per game

afrodoc2:
Na usage rate dey cover him ashiri, a fridge is still a fridge jare.

Example, even though Maguire averages 3.3 clearances per game in the EPL which is lower than both Lindelof (3.4) and Bailly (3.6) he is no 2 on your list which uses total clearances which is dependent on minutes played.

You might want to ask why he is no2 in the top 6 when he is no3 in his own club?
Cos he is the only CB that plays almost all minutes and all league games.

Thiago Silva is at 3.6 and Zouma is at 4.6. So looking at only Chelshit and Utd CBs he is no 5 in clearances. If I go through all the top 6 clubs Fridgeman will struggle to enter top 10 in clearances. Na the 90 minutes he plays every game wey dey cover am.

Abeg no dey use summation x bobo us jo o.
A fridge is still a fridge at the end of the day.

It's shocking that we decided to go for Fridgeman over Ruben Dias. I remember Dias had an excellent outing at the Euro Nations League the summer we bought Maguire. I reckon we could have gotten Dias for about 60M to 70M pounds in 2019, this might be some 20/20 hindsight bullshit though.

James is still faster than Rashford tho. Notice how they dusted Martial too.
Azpilicueta after this sequence must have been thanking his stars for Kante. Poor ball from McTom too.

Martial ain't smart sha, all he had to do was run in front of Kante and Kante would either have to foul him or quickly adjust his speed and the ball would have gotten to either Rashy or James. McT sef no fit cross ball properly.

Lana1:
McTom is only good for whacking balls into the net from long range.
Baba no get any passing ability.

Instead of looking up and passing ahead of Kante into the path of Rashford & James, baba was aiming for Martial that was already covered.

VDB, Bruno or Pogba in that position and things would have ended differently. Even Fred would have done better.
Wheter Rashford would ve scored the tap-in is story for another day tho.

VD.. what??

I can't remember Donny hitting any good pass since he joined United, man is always playing short passes. Chelsea prevented our pivot midfielders from hitting those early passes by putting That corporate shoe wearing modafucka on them. Rudiger was quickly closing down McT on multiple occasions. I get your point though, I was very disappointed with McT's inability to get away from Rudiger everytime he came up field to harass him.

hoopLA:
You're 12 points behind thr leaders and you're beating your chest with pride.
Is that one a second?

The same mediocrity complex I've been talking about.

You've scored no goal from open play against the big six but you think we deserve second place.

Thank your stars that every other big club bar City is out of sorts.

You forget that bar that crazy Spurs game, we have not conceded a goal from open play against any of the traditional big 6 teams. You also need to remember the very good chances missed by Bruno (Liverpool), Rashford (Chelsea and Arsenal), Cavani (Arsenal), etc.

Ole proved he can beat top 6 teams last season with quick counterattacking football. I am sure you noticed that all of the big 6 teams we played this season bar Liverpool det their team in a way to contain us and they were all okay with playing out a draw.

I kinda feel bad for United fans in their early 20s or younger, it must be difficult with the lack of trophies. I am proud to say I have watched United win every possible trophy, watched Fergie build 2 - 3 solid teams. The era of United dominating the EPL is gone, there is way too much money in the league and at least 8 top teams that can school anyone in Europe.

Eh God... James na - 1

Ibime:
Greenwoods arm also hit that ball

But it came off Hudson-Odoi first.

timbros:
Na Torres be this?

He is surely on some SARMS, HGH, Tren, etc.

nitrogen:
Lol. You sure AC Milan won’t finish us? Don’t forget that we only do counterattack.

We will beat them home and away.

Botfuss:
"We just continue our tradition of picking difficult teams," the manager told Sky Sports of the draw. "[It's] a tie that feels like a Champions League game as well, which is good.

Thank God ole has noticed!

Why not give us molde or young boys?

Hopefully, something is done about it.

If we had gone through in the champions league, we would have drawn Barca! E sure me die.

I actually like that we are playing tougher opponents at the earlier knockout rounds. After this round, I want one of Arsenal, Spurs or Villareal.

Sniper4real:
Seems we are out of Europa

Lmao!

We are going to thrash them home and away.

Zlatan is coming to Old Trafford

United V Milan


We should beat them over two legs.

afrodoc2:
I am not sure one have a definite assessment of Amad from 38 minutes over 2 games especially if the chunk of the minutes were in a disjointed match like yesterday. We need to see more minutes from Amad before the season ends in order to know if he is ready or not.

Also almost all attacking players look great playing in Bielsa's structure, heck even Bamford a well known reject is banging in goals. I am always cautious about buying system players. It is like buying all those Monaco and Ajax players of recent champs league campaigns. Most of them don't look as good outside their system.

I agree with your caution on buying system players, but we need to remember the gamble Liverpool took on Jota a system player at Wolves and how good he looked before his injury. I feel it's smarter for the club to spend 30 to 40 M on guys like Pedro Neto or Raphinha, instead of punting 70 to 100M on Sancho.

I am not saying Amad ain't good enough, I just don't think he will be ready anytime soon. Also, he can develop quietly around the team and maybe get play time as a RW and LW.

handelex:
So rumours are saying Dean Henderson wants to leave with Dortmund and Spurs at the forefront for his signature.

OGS and his crew better borrow sense if true. Degea has past his best simple.

Meanwhile thunder fire Dortmund and Spurs

He ain't going nowhere for cheap. Unless Spurs and Dortmund are ready to pay upward of 30M pounds. Also none of Spurs and Dortmund can pay him more than the 100K per week he is rumored to be earning at United.

Oasis007:
Thought I was the only one amazed by the Post.... Lol. Team as a whole was playing bad before Amad came in, so he really expected the Lad to influence the Game on his own? How many times did he even touch Ball?

If you were amazed by the post, you should have replied and not act like some pvssy. Amad spent 15 mins on the field and it was clear that man is not physically ready for 1st team football. His touch was also very untidy. Compare that cameo to Greenwood's first appearance against Cardiff (I think).

We cannot go into next season waiting for some youngin to get up to speed; the likes of City, Chelsea and Liverpool won't be fooling around.

afrodoc2:
After 15 minutes you are sure he is not ready and we should go and spend 40-50 million on another player that may or may not be better than what we have got already.

Raphinha scored 5 goals in 22 games in the French league last season. 80% of these players that are looking like ballers under Bielsa might be jeun jeun level.

We should give Amad more minutes this season to show if he is the solution and if at the end we still think we need a RW i would prefer going back to old faithful Sancho.

Amad is not ready and he might need at least another year before he could be relied upon. He just doesn't look comfortable at this level, unlike Greenwood when he first joined the team as a 17 years old.

Raphinha has shown growth from him time at Sporting CP and Rennes plus he has been spectacular for Leeds. His excellent relationship with Bruno during his stint at Sporting CP is also a big plus. I don't think the club will spend 70 to 100M pounds on Sancho, as we might have to splash serious cash on a CF and CB in the summer. Raphinha should be available for around 30M and we could put in Dan James to lower the fee.

Omo, Amad never ready o. Make we carry money go buy Raphinha from Leeds.

Normally when you see such small players, especially those that are bent like Fred it is hard to bring them down but eph12's guy falls yakataly every day. But i can't blame him too much for that obe. He is small and light so maybe he can't help it.

But that passing is quite a problem. His woeful passes are just due to mental indiscipline not physical limitation. This means he can improve on his passing if he truly wants, which is why i focus on it.

Lmao!

I feel Fred is always falling especially when trying to cut passing lanes or tackle, because he is kinda in a hurry, poorly positioned and just not an intelligent player. More than half the time he lunges towards the ball, he gets bypassed easily putting so much pressure on the defense behind him.

Trevor012:
What midfield play has Bruno done in this entire match

Make you dey find midfield play baba don score 2 goals.

Bruno is a fvcking Machine!!!

Ibime:
Who be this Sanusi guy wey dey play LB for Porto?

Ahmed Musa done finally get Northern teammate for Super Eagles.

Dude looks solid, he had a good game against City. He got capped by Super Eagles last year too.

Porto doing Juve sharp sharp hotel things

Marega makes it 2 - 0

Haaland is the truth...

Ibime:
Hahahaha. Just saw Gundogans second goal. Did Rudiger lend his corporate shoe to Davinson Sanchez?

Man! It was so saucy, seeing Sanchez on the floor stretching his neck to block the shot was hilarious.

afrodoc2:
It is 3-1. Your kitchen go far from your sitting room be that.

Lmao!

The match na just cruise. Docky, see Thiago wey we all dey praise.. e has been lacklustre since he came back from that injury against Everton.

Liverpool no fit blame injury here o... Leicester sef dey go through serious injury crisis.

BlueMann:
Lovely assist from Ndidi...but I especially like the awareness from the guy who made the one touch reverse pass to him.
Liverpool falling apart.

Tielemans... dude is a baller!

Ndidi has been immense for Leicester today.

Life don tire Klopp...

Allison don mad finish, why e no just catch that ball

EPL is a mad league... Allison went from the best in the league to Karius in 1 month.... Baba just made a world class save...lmao
