This life no balance at all. Villa too dey rest first eleven against Liverpool? Wetin monkey no go see for tree

They had covid issues with the first team, Their manager is not even in the dugout.

eph12:
Same City we won 3 out of 4 times last season.

They are always going to win the midfield and possession, but we had a way to play them which was successful for us last season.

Our attacking players should be the laziest in the league when it comes to closing down defenders and spaces. I hope Ole does something to increase their work rate

Actually we played better yesterday than in any of them 3 games that we won. We dominated City over long periods yesterday and we didn't go the ultra defensive route.

Also, you need to consider that to hit teams on counter forward players need to press effectively without expending too much energy. The funny thing is that we pressed City alot yesterday. I still believe in the team but we need to find quick solutions to our defense and how to defend set pieces. We have conceded about 10 goals from set pieces, that is unacceptable!!

Amoto94:
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lost as many domestic semi-finals in the last 12 months as Sir Alex Ferguson did in 26 years as
ManUtd manager
Copied

All those posts fail to mention how we got bleeped in domestic cup finals under Fergie by Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea (I watched all them finals). Also on multiple occasions we got knocked out of FA cups by teams such as Villa and Boro. Although I am pissed with how Ole have been unable to get to cup Finals, getting to 4 consecutive cup finals is not an easy feat.

PS - Fergie never took the League cup seriously, he usually played youth and fringe members of the first team.

This AWB na big idiot... conceding from two set pieces.

Game don end

Fernandes don craze

nihilistjnr:
Goal - Fernandes!!! Long shot from moshalashi roundabout...

Lmao! Agbaya niyin sir

See useless defenders...

CapitalCee:
City have better players who are good on the ball, Debruyne can do anything with confidence he has others who can clean up, Bruno doesn't have that luxury. You cant compare the 2

Naaah... De Bruyne's passing accuracy is better than Bruno's, but the thing is Bruno likes to release the ball early.

Mrviktor:
See as KDB dey play neat football.... Nawah oh.

Bruno looses d ball way too much

It's because he releases the ball really fast and it destabilizes defence line.

Mrviktor:
Bruno d mechanic.

Just play simple pass must u add style ni..

ITK

He could have taken a touch sef, Martial and Rashford were on for a good pass.

patrickmuf:
Rashford is being double marked...

Shaw is leaving gapping holes behind...

Relax.. It was Sterling that drew Shaw out of position and no one followed De Bruyne... very tough and enjoyable game.

ouzo1:
My mama left leg strong pass Martial own

lmao! wtf

MRTA7:
Neither can McTom.

McT na escort service

omo! this match na die o

So we can press like this

Trevor012:
You want him to overplay an injury prone player?

He had 5 days of rest, that's enough for professional players. Hope you know Lindelof is not 100% fit, he is having back issues.

Kelvinsteve1000:
It's a good idea to rest him .. What if he gets injured in this game then you'll get to see lindelof on a normal basis.

rest him for what??

we played Villa on Jan 1 and our next league game is on Jan 12... the FA cup on Jan 9 is against Watford, that's the game to rest Bailly.

elrony:
Nna ehn... Wetin dey worry this man sef?

This terrible CB pairing again

I just weak! I hope this man no go use him hand spoil things wey dey look good.

No Bailly in the starting 11... smh

9300.... for the league and domestic cups treble

Leequte:
Biko how many crosses did Liverpool make today? Just so predictable. They created a few chances from crossing though. But still, so very very predictable.

Klopp need to do something. His forwards are misfiring. He’s really missing D. Jota. Jota has been bailing him out. He’s out injured now.

35 open play crosses.

CapitalCee:
Where Southampton used to quietly get these players is wonderful

They got Diallo from Monaco.

Walker-Peters mean Mane today o

iamJ:
Results like this help Lampard

The sooner the gap widens, the sooner he gets sacked

Guy is like a plaque

Lol, at this rate Lampard will start appearing in your dreams soon.

Ibrahim Diallo the midfielder for Southampton is a baller, man have been really tidy today, he is also the brother of Abdou Diallo at PSG.

ChristineC:
perhaps you are underestimating Southampton.
some EPL teams have been solid, especially against the big boys, since the league restart in 2020.

We played this Southampton team off the park, conceded two set pieces and came back to win 3 - 2. Spurs also beat the shiit out of this Southampton team.

Leyqute:
Na wah. No single shot on target in the first half.

O wrong nao

Lol!

I hope Ole step to them and play really well when we play them at Anfield.

Leyqute:
Na police ball be the name of the tactics wey Kopp Dey use for this match. Everything gbas gbos haba.

Naso them they always play.. they use lots of long balls and crosses.

Roland17:
Absolutely.. It’s a shame he can’t stay healthy.

He has been quite healthy of late, he played all 38 EPL games last season and mixed just 5 this season.

Liverpool is looking very ordinary at the moment.

City wicked o... them knock Kante up and down baby hamstring begin tweak
