Joao and Ruben were doing their job, we had Fred and Pogba too what were they doing?

So Bruno has to help them combat Joao and Ruben....

Abeg make them end this world

Lmao! Them wan turn Bruno to British SAS combatant

eph12:
Are you sure the midfield is being helped? Pogba and Fred's possession yesterday is almost double that of Bruno.

On multiple occasions in that game James, Greenwood (when Cavani came on), Bruno and even Sancho were in the midfield area helping out when we were defending.

Of course Fred and Pogba's possession numbers will be high based on how we like to recycle the ball between the pivot CMs and the two CBs.

CapitalCee:
Hence James which Ole admitted after the match, you are sounding as is Bruno stayed away completely from Midfield, he was there, but at the same time he needs to join the attack

I tire o... In the game against Soton was Bruno not fouled close to the midfiled/defense area in the play that led to the goal we conceded?

This Bruno slander will be tackled ASAP, my man ain't perfect but he won't be made the scape goat for Fred's being under the anointing regularly, misplacing passes, jumping into tackles and getting dribbled with ease or Pogba being nonchalant on the ball and not attempting to chase runners sometimes.

CapitalCee:
So Pogba and Fred cant engage Moutinho and Neves to allow Bruno to attack? Are we Burnley? So how are we supposed to scored if all we do is midfield battle royale, who are Neves and Moutinho? May be if we meet Bayern in UCL Cavani, Rashford and Sancho and even CR7 will join to rescue Pogba and Fred because you will be coming up against Goreztker and Kimich. My brother leave matter lol

Lmao!

Them wan turn ball to royal rumble.

eph12:
If Bruno is a forward then we need another person in that midfield so Bruno can play his forward. It's that simple

Another person in the midfield during which phase of play? Because when we don't have the ball 2 out of the 3 forwards behind the CF are usually helping the 2 CMs in the pivot.

It's not Bruno's fault that when we are not playing McFred out midfield us usually found wanting during transition from attack to defense.

adisaaowala:
Baba, the truth is that this is a conversation most peeps here arent ready for.

If we remove his goals/assist from setplay and carefully assess his contribution to our overall play ehn....

Make i just stop here sha

Please do!

This Bruno slander is outrageous. My man is bursting his body playing his heart out for the team and you guys are trying to push some flimsy agenda against him.

Please take away his Pks and assists from setplays and let's see if anyone apart from maybe Rashford will come close to him in that team. People fail to notice that in our system Bruno is practically a forward and is regularly involved with our forward press.

Also, have we not been complaining about playing two CMs in the pivot that are not vital in our attack play? Why do we need Bruno to help "combat" other midfielders especially when we play against other teams that utilizes 2 CMs like us.

Lastly the age of having an AM that link the midfield and attack is fast eroding, most teams build up play with their full backs/wing backs, wingers and deep lying playmaker.

eph12:
The Coach doesn't want to keep the ball. Maybe he doesn't trust VDB physicality, I'm not sure what the problem is. VDB should be able to play Kroos role. Stay close to the DM or CDM and occasionally find some great passes. Pogba should not be the one doing this

VdB to play Kroos role? How many times have you seen VdB turn with the ball or ping long range passes? My man is always acting like a wall and treating the ball like lava.

odizeey:
Was Ronaldo the reason Sancho played left today?

Okay... I get your point. I was discussing more a future perspective.

slimghost:
They say we are arm chair managers and that Ole knows it all. I have agreed! He doesn’t need a DM! But you see that trophy eh, he MUST win one major trophy this season or else I will join Nani in cursing him out.

If he wins a major trophy will you show him some respect or claim it was individual brilliance as usual.

CapitalCee:
Martial na my man, but him de fall hand recently. For Sancho the jury is out. He starts seasons slowly so i expect him to pick up

Martial don prove himself already for EPL, he only needs to show some consistency. E sure me die say e go ball hard for 10 to 15 games this season.

patrickmuf:
TrebleChamp no even dey on Sancho matter like I thought.Na Olabode89 come dey drag Sancho...

I hope say Sancho no go look ordinary playing for us...

Lmao!

I go drag am like Tiger generator. 72M no be change na

olabode89:
Omo.... this Greenwood boy no go sit down for bench if we sign Sancho o... na one of Martial or Rashford go bench las las

Lmao!

I been talk am o

odizeey:
You watch the match abi you use radio?

You forget say C. Rodo don return abi?

CF will be rotated between Cristiano and Cavani.

RW Sancho, Greenwood, James

LW Rashy, Martial, Sancho, James

odizeey:
You watch the match abi you use radio?

I use livescores

Bombblacks:
All coaches talk with assistants regularly during matches including Pep.

There is a difference between bouncing opinions with your assistants and what I see from Ole. Mayne it's just the optics. I like Ole and I defend him a lot here, but I will be stupid if I think he is the man to get the best out of this team.

TheLequte:
KingTom. How far Greenwood na

It feels really good seeing a dude I watched regularly for the u-18s doing well in the team. The next guy I am hoping to blossom is Elanga.

TheLequte:
Fred made a lot of errors in the opening minutes. Varane covered for the team.

You think we wouldn’t have conceded if it was Lindelof Adama Traore was running at as a result of one of those errors? That’s just one. What about that style-style block close to De Gea when he left his man after Maguire got lost? Lindelof would’ve allowed that guy to make that across.

Varane wasn’t 100% perfect but he was an improvement over Lindelof. Today. He senses danger better. And reacts to stop it.

Chief stop this Slander, Lindelof is not as bad as you are making him out to be. He makes a lot of interceptions and blocks too. his major drawbacks are his pace and aerial ability when defending.

odizeey:
It's baffling me seriously.

What is Sancho doing on the LWF position?

Was that why he was bought?

So you will play Sancho ahead of Mason at the moment? And you go still dey diss Ole

patrickmuf:
When they play, are we any better? Watching this team play, are you satisfied?

Does our play speak to the quality of players we parade?

If we played McFred today, Adama wouldn't have run the team rugged through the center of the pitch.

The truth is I don't think Ole has the right tactical mind to take us to the promise land. I notice during games that he gets way too much info and inputs from Phelan, Carrick, etc. Kai, imagine Conte with this team...

KingAlabi:
Fred is easily dribble pass, why nau?

Because he dives into tackles too quickly. His reading of the game is quite poor.

timay1:
Sancho is also a take-on demon. He can dribble. It's just a matter of settling down and calming his nerves. No be every body has balls of steel like Bruno to hit the ground running at a new club without fear.

Can he drive pass EPL's fast fullbacks and score like Rashford and Greenwood?

I know he is very intelligent and can pick out CFs, so he should do well for the team.

patrickmuf:
They're cracks in our set up, so wide that a DM might not fix all of it. Ole has to find a system to accommodate the attacking talents at his disposal whilst remaining compact at the back.

He found it by playing two mobile and hardworking CMs in the pivot but una no dey satisfied.

Expert17:


OLE is still our coach oo

You didn't' praise OLE for Degea's save, the same man you dragged any time Degea fvcks up

You dey notice the trend abi?



Blame Ole for any individual Bleep ups

Bombblacks:
Is there any Midfield combination Ole plays you guys won't complain about?

Leave these people jare... Them wan see VdB wey not fit hold ball turn.

handelex:
Azin say others dey blind

Others wear welder glasses

lekkie073:
Greenwood's overall game will eventually be better than Sancho. I take all these Dormund players with a pinch of salt. Mkhi and Kagawa has opened my eyes.

Haaland might be an exception though.

CapitalCee:
Greenwood has been picking up points for us, and nobody seems to be noticing.
Leeds equalised and ready to give us a game he scored immediately with a peach of goal to put us ahead again.

Last week he got ys a point.
Today when all our attackers had an off day. He collected all points again. This boy is a Superstar.

I establishing Greenwood FC from here on. Who wan buy form. He does no wrong from now onwards

You are a latecomer o. The Doc and other guys have been on the Greenwood train for a while.

CapitalCee:
Wan Bissaka, Greenwood, DDG You can make your picks for the man of the Match. Shaw was Outstanding too.

Varane Clean Sheet and Assist and a Win. World class defender we have been asking for this for years yet we persisted with Lindelof who is good on his day but Varane is World Class.

Shaw outstanding? Na back of TV you dey watch?

Shaw was and Fred were getting gangbanged by Trincao, Semedo and Adama. Plus he made a dhit load of misplaced passes.

TheLequte:
Had Lindelof started instead of Varane we’d have considered at least one goal in the first half.

From which play?

You just wan diss Lindelof for nothing.

Sancho should get better when we start playing Ronaldo and Cavani regularly as CF. I am a bit worried with his inability to drive at goal and also beat his man. That's something that Martial, Greenwood and Rashford can all do with ease.

nihilistjnr:
Did that goal look like a result of tactical planning to you?

The point is that a good number of errors and nonsense that were made by Pogba and Fred didn't look like tactical planning too but Ole is usually blamed.

maik99:
is it not too early for this sancho agenda?

Chief allow me push my agenda in peace o. When Trevor dey tackle my Bruno I no dey cry
