So transfer window wan close and no RW for the first team

I feel for you guys oh

NB: pellistri dey come out yoot team

This happened because of the infatuation with Sancho by Ole, the board and fans. If we had moved on from this deal in late August when they told us 120M or nothing we could have signed one of Ocampos, Neres, Coman and Sarr.

For you to know that the people driving this club's bus have apollo they are planning to buy 3 wingers Amad Traore, Pellestri, Dembele in one window, meanwhile the defence is leaking goals like no man's business.

Also can any Bible believing brother explain to me why Maguire likes tackling his own players?

Chief, the leaky nature of our defence is based more on our coaching and defense system than the defenders. Against Spurs, their Wingers were usually drifting inward dragging our FBs inside providing space for their FBs to bomb forward. I was shocked on numerous occasions where we couldn't defend this simple strategy. Our wingers (Greenwood and Rashford) were supposed to track and defend against their fullbacks or defend using the zonal system, where the DM would track the winger coming inside towards the 18 yards box.

Agaisnt Brighton they explored us with one of the benefits of playing the 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 systems. I repeat we actually have more of a coaching problem than a personnel problem.

elrony:
Mumu board should sack themselves alongside Ole, fresh people with fresh ideas should takeover.

Ed should stick to financials and CEO duties.

Else , we'll be back here again in 2 years.

Useless club

Ed is the Vice Chairman. Richard Arnold is actually the Group Managing Director �. And Richard Arnold is the dude responsible for most of them money making commercial deals. Most of them accolades and vile directed towards Ed are not meant for him.

This season go long die with surprises

At this rate 90 pts might win the league.

This season go rugged o...

Loserpool dey lose 6 - 2

eph12:
Lindelof na first week. As long as the system is broken, no matter who you replace, errors and confusion go dey. We must accept this fact. If they replace magwaya tomorrow, it will only be a matter of time before lamentations start again

Shaw and AW are always tucking into the center of the defence whenever we are defending leaving so much space for opposition full backs to exploit us.

We clearly have a huge problem with effective coaching and defending. It's a pity though, there are so many lumbering and slow players in our team. Pressing is also alien to us. Once we lose the ball, we just drop back into our half of the pitch.

We are in deep shit!

How can we get rid of Maguire?

odizeey:
They have to sign Telles, even if they don't sign Sancho. That money is not cost. Delay is dangerous in business. Anything can happen.

Why pay 20M for someone we can get free in 9 months?? It's not like we won't survive without another LB this season.

Sniper4real:
Nice we have hope on cross and nod now

Not just that... Cavani is a rugged player too. My fear is that last time I watched him properly was during the 2018 world cup and he was the best player for Uruguay.

afrodoc2:
Plus Pep use man know man to coach teams loaded with great talents.

Ole should just secretly DM Bielsa for tips.

Make we no lie towards the end of Fergie's career he had smart coaches like Carlos Queiroz and the dutch coach who did most of the tactical analysis and conducted training. Ole might just need a really innovative assistant.

Sniper4real:
Cavani news na true?

Yeah!

I actually like the move. He can be rotated with Martial. Ighalo will serve as training material. I hope we still get a RW though.

10 M euros a year is about 150K pounds a week. That's like 70% of what Pereira and Dalot were earning.

Omo this Everton go worry o. They actually have a pretty good squad.

Make Everton bring 10M for Romero... this useless Pickford go mess them up.

That mumu Southgate go still play am over Henderson.

Pickford is a clown.... lmao

Calvert-Lewin is a beast o... See as e bully Ben White to score that header. The leap was impressive too.

Kepa dey vex oo

I agree with you that Mejbri was poor in the first half but he improved in the 2nd half. The problem Mejbri is facing presently facing is two-fold. Firstly teams tend to kick him a lot and the refs at that level are not protecting him enough. Secondly opponents know he is the most creative player in our midfield so they often press him with 2,3,4 players. He actually played quite well over the last 30 minutes. He looks like the sort that will thrive well in senior football. especially with better players around him.

Elanga is crazy fast and he is quite powerful as well. I agree with you that with improvement in decision making and finishing he will be ready. Hopefully by next season.

The team is quite young and is not a complete team. They don't have enough attacking players of the right age as well, in particular there is no RW. Most of the good players are between 16 and 18 playing against 23yr olds. The Blackburn player who scored their second goal was 23 and a 21yr old player was subbed on for them as well.

Bernard and Fish look good together but i don't think there is a future for Bernard in the club because Mengi who is his junior has moved on to the senior team and Fish who is Mengi's junior seems to have been made captain.

P.S Harvey Neville is in that team just because of quota system/ man know man.

Solid inputs as always!

Bernard is looking like them typical youngsters that got into academy football mainly as a result of early physical progression. I hope he is able to have a career with a lower EPL or a Championship team in the future.

Harvey Neville and Ercollani are very poor, especially Ercollani, It is painful watching Ercollani play.

Nezzjnr:
#mufc sources say they are relaxed about the Jadon Sancho situation and there is no sense of panic at the club despite external pressure building #mulive [bbc]

Relaxed FC.

afrodoc2:
Will Fish. Mark the name. He is one to keep an eye on.

In the first half, he made a Van Dijk like tackle, got the ball with the ease and left the attacker helpless on the floor.

afrodoc2:
Ended 2-2 against an older team.

Elanga was dangerous throughout, Mejbri was good in the 2nd half but 2 interesting prospects are the 2 CBs Fish and Bernard.

Boss Mejbri was not good. He was untidy with his passes and looked out of place playing in a double pivot.

Elanga is the boy to watch at the moment, he is extremely fast. There was one time he made the fullback look like he was running is slow motion. Some decision making improvement and strengthening would help Elanga a lot.

I hope they don't relegate this season. The team is very young and a lot of them other teams have got quite a lot of players over 19.

Nezzjnr:

tiki taka legend himself!!

I hope them news about Dembele are false. Dude is mostlikely done as a footballer, 8 hamstring injuries in 3 years is out of this world. If we cannot sign Sancho, we should jejely spend 40M + add ons on Sarr. Sarr has got a quite good season in the EPL.

nihilistjnr:
Same corner againnnn

Lmao

Baba no sabi dive go that place.

CapitalCee:
This Regullion na baller oo. He us head and shoulders better than shaw

stop chatting shiit

Mendy butter fingers

Unlimited22:
Ah. Kepa will die in motor accident, olorun

lmao! na straight shot them fire Mr. Mendy jare.

What a goal from Maddison

DExponential:
Tammy may score some great goals but he looks like a complete poacher to me. He always gets into great positions for tap-ins and errors.

Strikers that can do this will easily score 10 goals this way every season.

KingAlabi:
No system !!??

Abi when Bruno wan pass he will pass it unto opposition players back

Abi Pogba go first dance shaku shaku before im pass

Abi martial and rashford go wan do 1 2 pass forget the ball for back

Or Shaw go wan pass to rashford pass am for throw in


No system go work with this stupid players

lmao!

Na pogba own dey tire me... If him body no touch opponent own, e no go release pass. Small boy Alzate was just turning Pogba and Bruno like amala in the midfield.

Watch Bayern, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal even Brighton and Everton you will notice alot of repeated plays and a pattern to their style of player. United does not have a distinct style.

Nezzjnr:
We should just be thankful to Maguire and the woodwork

Greenwood was our best player in the 1st half

Bruno tried

Luke Shaw.. AWB and Lindelof are just useless

Which Greenwood??

Matic was by far our best player all through the game. It is clear that we have no system for building attack.

eph12:
How can AWB stay on March when there's another attacker playing ahead of March? How can our defender leave their attacker and be pushing their defender?

We switched to a 3-4-3 when Bailly came on. AWB could have stayed on March living them 3 CBs to deal with Brighton's 3 attackers. Matic also dropped back to help with numbers in the defence.

eph12:
March was a WB. Who is supposed to track his run sef? Ole saw how many times that guy was finding the ball down that side, but he refused to pay attention to him. I don't get. Or could it be he asked someone to track his runs but the person refused?

Did you watch the game??

Why do you think we were forced to go 3 at the back when we brought on Bailly? AWB with his 50 IQ kept tucking in with the CBs instead of staying on March.

3-5-2 and 3-4-3 formations are going to give us a lot of problems this season because our CBs are not comfortable on 1 v 1 situations, forcing our fullbacks to tucking thereby freeing the opposition's wing backs.
