The officiating is criminal, although to be fair Mejbri's shoulder injury was accidental. We beat Assanal 3-0 and dominated the game however they got an early red card. Assanal has a decent bunch of "Nigerian" youngsters (they had 5 in their starting line up) although the one i wanted to see Miguel Azeez didn't play. Their other highly rated midfielder Patino had to be taken off after the red card.

It is like Nigerian parents in the U.K have started pushing (forcing) their kids into football. Who no like money.

Omo... the number of guys and kids with naija heritage playing in League 1, Championship, EPL and PL2 is outstanding. I feel some kind of joy watching them boys plays especially when I go out to pubs with friends and be like that's a Nigerian dude. It's super cool how we can spot other Nigerians from their names.

Leyqute:
VAR was used in some of the ties na. Why not for this game ?

Championship teams don't have VAR capabilities.

That Assistant referee must be blind sha... see clear offside

We are playing Leicester away in the FA cup quarter finals

Another easy draw for Chelsea if they win against Sheffield United.

The other games are...

Everton V City

Bournemouth V Southampton

timay:
Imagine we bought an AM midfielder to be a creative hub for the team, instead, the team is expected to create for him and give him fine through balls and defense splitting passes, meanwhile that is suppose to be the Job of the said player in the first place. Omo, this one done pass ment o

God bless you for this!

Beorn1:
Benhrama missed a glorious chance. Thank you Lord.

He was offside sef

Beorn1:
McTom's best scoring season for us.

Yes o, 7 goals.

Leyqute:
This VDB has an innate hunch to always pass the ball.

aka e no spoil for my hand football.

afrodoc2:
I have seen enough. Remove VDB and bring on Bruno.

Docky oloye... what did you see

LOL

Fred mumu sha... Person wey wound dey outside and e dey pass ball out.

eph12:
Na wa o

If you have something to say... say it.

Do you want VdB in the pivot ahead of any of Fred, Matic, McT or Pogboom? and why?

SyIvalord:
I hope after this nonsense first half display, the press can shove their “start Van de beek campaign” up their asses. There is absolutely no space in the first team for VDB yet

Exactly!

I am tired already, pundits and journalists have been talking shiit. No way any manager will play him ahead of Bruno or any of Fred, Pogboom or McT in the pivot.

nitrogen:
Just confess, you don’t like him. Someone that doesn’t get play time, you think he will just impress immediately he gets the chance to?

Leave the poor boy abeg!

It's not about getting played everytime, these are basic stuffs that can be spotted in minutes. I noticed these things when I watched him closely for his national team.

What's the use of an AM that is always playing one touch and e no spoil for my hand football??

JayKayMaybachz:
No he'll do well there rather be an Am.

Fred is practically taking up his role

There is nothing he does better than fred as a CM. I knew something was up when Goosen, De Jong and Gini were preferred to VdB in the pivot for The Netherlands national team.

He is also not a proper AM, I guess he might play better as the most advanced CM in a 3 man midfield.

Lmao! This VdB sha... e dey hardly hold ball turn or progress, na always one time pass .

Everytime e go dey call for pass like say e get 3 legs.

JayKayMaybachz:
VDB sha.. He's best a CM rather than an AM

As a CM sef he is average, very little ball carrying and progression abilities. No way he is getting ahead of Bruno anytime soon, the earlier we sell him the better it will be for both parties.

Fred's passing range is limited sha... make e dey play safe passes jare, omoloomo.

VdB dey play like say him no dey train with this team. He is always making runs behind the opponent's defense line, but the team does more of ball to feet, quick passes, and 1-2s to create chances.

afrodoc2:
People at this point are just looking for what is not missing. With Fred we still dominated possession 62 to 38, chances created 14 to 6, and made 250 more passes.
The balance from midfield was good enough to win the match.

I will keep saying it... Ole needs to man up and kick De Gea out of the team. We drew that game because of De Gea, at 2 - 0 Everton were practically done and De Gea decided to push a weak cross towards the path of Doucoure. That error caused unnecessary tension.

For the last goal, De Gea was more worried about getting clattered by DCL than conceding the goal.

Nezzjnr:
This defence wan win Epl??

Lol... DeGea... I don't know What to even say

You saw how De Gea actually made himself smaller for the last goal, zero bravery and the idiot dey collect 375K weekly.

codedguy1:
Make una leave Tuanzebe alone abeg. These dolts, except Bruno, bottled a 2 goal lead before Tuanzebe entered.

The guy na bad luck... I don't even know why Ole brought him on, to be frank...

chrisley024:
I don't even know why he was brought in. It's not like Everton were pressing us

The dude is bad luck

Third time he is coming on and we are conceding a goal. Make we just sell am. Those chances missed by Rashford came back to bite us in the ass.

De Gea should never keep for United again... ever again.

De Gea has got to be the biggest sissy in World football

Tunazebe is just bad luck

larride:
That was a foul. The ref head is not correct

Yeah... you no lie

See Maguire... but that was a foul, wetin Jon Moss dey do so..

This Olsen na De Gea brother

2 useless Gks

What can this mumu Fred do apart from forming gra gra activity

I hope Ole makes the important decision of dropping De Gea for good. The idiot could have caught that ball.

Fred as usual always stretching for a ball he can't get to, bunch of useless bastards.

De Gea is a bastard!

See as Maguire slow like snail

afrodoc2:
The guy just give me punch from nowhere.

E shock you? E shock me too o.

Lmao!
E give better Right hook
