That’s why I said barely. If we’re going to be contenders we shouldn’t be struggling in this kind of match with the caliber of players we fielded.

which game you watch?? How can you say we struggled in this game. Una dey make person tire and vex at the same time.

If we had taken our chances in the 2nd half we could have been leading 5 - 1 before they scored their second goal.

Feeling bad for Lindelof, all this EPL boyz wan use gra gra ball wound am. I won't be surprised when he moved to Barca, Madrid, Bayern or PSG and end up being a beast of a CB.

MRTA7:
I think our need for a DM might be the most pressing need right now.

Matic actually had a good game and he kept us ticking.

nihilistjnr:
They're already gone.

Their board has announced that they're keeping faith in Chris Wilder, and that they're not buying anybody in January...so they're clearly preparing for life back in the championship

Sure thing!

Last season sef they didn't think they will survive until they started really well before investing good money in the squad.

nitrogen:
He is right now, against Sheffield, the last on the log. Bros, you no dey shame?

They were playing long and crossing alot, we needed McT height to help mumu Lindelof and AWB. Plus shey na Ole fault say as e bring on VdB baba turn magician come dissapear?

Tim Sherwood chatting shit again!

This mumu man is castigating Ole for bringing on McT for Martial, nawa oh

Expert17:
VDB look up na, Rashford was waiting

Now I am confused about his most preferred position. Always looking to play the safest pass. I just tire

nitrogen:
Leeds next, Insha Allah tactics will get us there, Insha Allah!

Close your mouth if you don't have anything to say. How can you call what we played today Insha Allah tactics. Una go just open mouth waaaaa

vdB just be like - 1

Expert17:
VDB look up na, Rashford was waiting

Fernandes would have made that pass

Ole bring on VdB for Bruno na! this craze people go wound am o

Karleb:
CB? You mean Maguire or Lindelof or both?

The more the better.

Trevor012:
When Engrelvis said Mane was declining you all laughed. Maine has now gone 9 straight game without a goal or assist.

He recovered from Covid couple of weeks ago.

Expert17:
Henderson doing well at set-pieces so far

That's why he started... De Gea no dey try for set pieces.

Karleb:
Pricing Sancho like tomatoes.

we don't need Sancho, invest that fund on top class DM and CB.

Abeg VdB for Fernandes o.... make baba rest.

nitrogen:
I believe you are just a troll. Pogba’s efforts gave us the goal, no?

I am tired o

Lmao!
In couple of seconds Pogba showed two possibilities that could occur if he lingers on the ball.

Ole abeg remove Fernandes, this Sheffield United boys fir wound am o... dem dey vex.

Leyqute:
They’re down by 2 goals thanks to the high line. There’s just too much space to exploit. If they set a low block finding space would be harder and they’d be more difficult to breakdown with their fitness and compactness.

I agree but they won't have gotten that goal and they will surely crumble as they are suffering from low morale and poor form.

MRTA7:
McGoldrick is abusing Lindelof smh.

McGoldrick will abuse any defender that is not 6ft 2" and strong.

Leyqute:
Yup. The high line doesn’t make sense. Deploying that tactics against fast players like Rashford and Bruno doesn’t make sense.

a high line actually ensures that they can press and effectively shut up the gap between defense and midfield. If they play a low block defense they won't be able to press our defenders, they actually scored from these.

Allowing United build up from the back is dangerous as we start slow and sudden increase the pace and it usually catch out the opposition.

CapitalCee:
Pogba pass na just to whom it may concern. SMH

Lmao! Hater

Rashford square the ball to Greenwood!!!

nitrogen:
Was not a set up, Henderson took his time to hit the ball.

the pass to Pogba would have also been cut out... Maguire should have gone long or to Telles.

AWB my man! baba just pass ball give opponent nonchalantly

Maguire just decided to set up Henderson

Only United can make fans super anxious before they play a team with 1 point all season and at the bottom of the table.

This is the best under-18 squad we have had in years. FA Youth Cup requires some luck as well as it is a knockout competition.

They might not have any obvious super talents like the Angel Gomes/Tahith Chong team but in terms of depth of talent across multiple positions and the ability to withstand 2,3,4 injuries this team is superior.

True!

I like the either of giving some of them game time in the U23 team and also bring up some boys from the U16 team during the season.

4-0 Zidane Iqbal. The guy has been silky all game.

Yeah! I appreciate the abilities of smaller under aged players as we can rule out the possibility that they are good because of physical abilities a la Fosu-Mensah.

Zidane Iqbal makes is 4 - 0


These boys are balling! I would like to see how they perform in the FA Youth cup though.

Saying lanky players are lazy is like saying all buff players are hardworking. Intelligent runs and movement needs to be well appreciated.

With a top speed of 35.02 km/h. Kai Havertz is the second fastest midfielder in the premier league ( only behind Adama Traore). He was the second fastest player overall last season in the bundesliga. I dont know too many lazy players clocking this stat

One other thing that gets ignored is that Kai was also getting dispossessed a lot at the wings in Leverkusen - Infact it was one of the negatives in his scout report. This isnt a new thing and does not bother me one bit. Almost like underating Aguero or Aubameyang cos of their plenty misses; hence why you would always find him drifting to empty spaces especially in central areas where he is allowed to roam/drift

Anyone would think this Chelsea team has another means of Goal Scoring apart from an Inshallah which all teams have figured out. All we are saying is for the good of the team. Allow people who can actually do the creative job which you spent a lot of money to acquire do it. Sacrificing players cos Mount can run and press adds nothing to the team ( Kante does this) - We've been down this road before with Oscar, Mata and KDB.

One more thing - Havertz is not as terrible defensively as it gets said a lot. He's certainly better than Ziyech if we're looking at defensive stats so a lot of this talk is exaggerated.

Chief!

You are clearly a smart man but you should know lazy in football does not mean speed, pace or ability to clock high speed. How many sprints does Havertz make, how much distance does he cover, how often does he press or lead the press, is he a willing runner for the team, can he cover space for the team or track back effectively depending on the position he is playing . Those are the criteria to determine if a player is lazy or not.

Under -18s leading 2-0 against Leeds. McNeill with both goals.

Charlie Savage just scored... 3 - 0
