AdisaOwala:
Then he should move into CMF or assume the deep lying playmaker role

Why should the bolded be the major attributes of a 100m winger at a top club??

Because a system that utilizes this play style in a winger retains the ball and creates overload with the fullback tucking into the midfield. Football has gone beyond run run things.

Midfielders should be the priority. Amad and Pellistri cant be worse than Antony

Pellestri is getting sold next summer. His advisers are doing him a disservice by always pushing for stupid loans. Make we cut our loss and move on. Amad would hopefully get minutes next season as a 10 and RW. Bruno cannot continue to play every minute of the league.

Na we suppose concede the way we did?

Okan yin o ni bale

Kokane baba werey ni e 🤣😂🤣😝

I guess you guys don't know what the manager expects from Antony. He was never a run, take on and destroy the fullback winger. Watch him properly and see how he retains and recycle possession effectively. His crossing was key for Ajax but it has been underwhelming for United.

This goal just dey pain me... First, why was AWB in that position and not Shaw who is the LB Then what was AWB thinking, he kept looking towards the ball instead of checking his position and adjusting his posture to deal with a cross towards the farpost. Their is nothing I hate more than lackadaisical defending from a fullback.

ChristineC:
naive play cost us that goal. with the experience we have at the back, I believe we should have gone past this stage in team development.
at such crucial period in the game when we've drawn first blood, the opposition is too eager to press. the sensible thing will be to send the ball long to our target man and play off him for at least the next 10mins.

Sending the ball upfront is not the solution. You are just going to surrender possession and the team will have to deal with wave after wave of attacks. Arsenal spent 18 months improving this part of their play the solution is to continue playing out from the back and replacing MFs who can't play from the back.

CrystalTiger:
Him sabi ball but him marking no dey ok

He does not like getting physical/into crunchy tackles so getting pass him is quite easy. Antony's ball retention is underrated. He might not take on fullbacks but his ability to keep the ball and bring others into play is unique and important to how we play.

Bjteensdes24:
Very very stupid of Bissaka for trying to dribble and loosed that ball that led to their goal

Too many actions after that mistake to blame it for the goal. The main issue is his low IQ and poor positioning. He looked back and saw Nketiah before the ball was crossed and still couldn't read the play and block Nketiah's path to the ball.

Little gasps like this will continue to hunt us. Against Palace, Shaw gave a way a stupid free kick when the opponent was running like a headless chicken into our CB.

Kantebets:
fingers crossed on arsenal

Pep has done 15 and 18 games consecutive wins to snatch the league from united and Liverpool in the past

If Pep repeats that then arsenal will lose the league as they are yet to play arsenal

The two games between Arsenal and City will be extremely vital as it is a massive 6pts swing.

Good game... I was scared Arsenal might steam roll us

DeadPresidents:
How’s Weghorst 6,5 and still losing aerials? No be juju be that?

It's all about timing and also the person looking to just get a touch to the ball aka the defender has more advantage.

Mrviktor:
He was out of position.

I blame degea for playing that rubbish pass

Out of position?? Before the ball was crossed he was marking the wrong man, he looked back saw that Nketiah was free and still didn't adjust properly.

The same nonsense he did against City... Always losing his man.

AWB is a bastard... he looked back and still forgot Nketiah was behind him.

Arsenal don wise... they are not playing that suicidal high line in this game.

Weghorst is a fucking wall... excellent player.

Rashyyy

Eriksen must be the softest midfielder alive. Pur you ficking foot on the ball.

ChristoBam:
He didn't even trust Casemiro to play there solely without Fred against City.
Why's he doing it against Arsenal at the Emirates. I'm bemused.

That's because City play through the middle a lot so crowding the centre of the pitch was needed.

Oasis007:
Amad keeps cooking at Sunderland, week in week out. Great competition loading for Antony next season.

Sancho and Rashford should be competing on the left, coz its obvious both perform well on that wing.

Amad might end up being a rotation option for Bruno instead of a competition for Antony. Antony and Sancho would fight for RW position.

nihilistjnr:
The same way Roy Jones Jnr ended up going out sad.

Dropping the lead hand and trying to react without elite reaction time.

Well deserved win for Liam Smith

You mean Chris Eubanks Jnr...

Perfect result for us... 10 pts ahead of both teams.

popizaino:
If na Africa now,them go say liverpool don put juju for ground way dey make Chelsea players fall down anyhow.

😂🤣🤣... Liverpool players too dey fall na

lordfalcao:
Insecure man ụ fans already comparing mudryk with their two for 5 naira players

Lmao... He is not better than 18 yo Garnacho. You know this, I know this, make we leave am like that.

FBS:
Lol. You try.
My starting salary was 10k Naira per month.

Lol... for 1995? 😂😝

Leyqute:
Murdryk is not 17 years old. And those united youngsters are not bad at control

You see that control Mutiu just miscued? Garnacho will murder it.

Firewood na firewood Let's call it by jts name abeg.

Lmao 🤣... those glimpses of fucccck up like that control go show up quite often as e still need to smooth out some basics, e go need patience.

Borntosmoke:
Chop wetin??

defenders na... Thank God say e no go Arsenal. Saka, Martinelli and Mudia for the same team for wreck serious havoc.

Roland17:
Gakpo reach EPL no come sabi shoot ball..

E dep panic, he needs to chill TF out.

Leyqute:
Don't be deceived by initial gragra

Chief... forget say we be rival fans. Greenwood and Garnacho both have that same quick foot and pace, e dey always worry defenders as players like that can move the ball really fast before defenders can adjust their body shape. Mudia go over cook.

Leyqute:
be like say this Muduru abi na Mutiu.. na otu e be o

That boy go too chop for EPL, that pace and quick foot go suffer fullbacks.

Omooo.... Mudia go over cook for EPL, quick foot and pace na important trait to make am for English football.

Mrviktor:
I feel gakpo will still bang in goals

If e bang anything na tiktok and ig models. Dude is way too anxious and jittery.
