Lol... Nobody said this.
Moreover, football have passed the phase whereby a striker will just be good at scoring and nothing else. Such a team that have such a striker presently rarely goes far

Omo people on this thread have a way of twisting your words like WTF!

jargooflife912:
You want a striker that can’t score goal but useful outside the box? LOL

I never said that

afrodoc:
I can't really dispute this. He does not pass the eye test the same way Greenwood did, but time will tell.

Yeah time will tell

afrodoc:
McNeill just scored again.

This guy gives me lukaku vibes just score goals and inshallah pretty much useless outside the box

Oasis007:


Pages jez dey fly anyhow these Days. Person go offline for few Hours...... boom about 5 to 10 pages to catch up.

Na to dey skip to last Page...... I know say e no fit pass Olein/Oleout or Mou vs Pep.

Nahhh this time the argument is about Bundesliga teams and 50+1 rule, the individuals arguing are too rigidity in their approach they no wan agree for each other

SyIvalord:
Oh, it’s not about that. I already knew what the reaction would be even before I posted that Bielsa statement(I didn’t know someone else had posted it before me). The issue actually doesn’t even concern Mourinho and I wonder how they managed to squeeze him into the arguments.

I just feel this is the Man United fan thread and Man United should be the priority here. Currently Man United fans are protesting against The Glazers. Not just regular #Glazersout that fades away after some days but a massive protest. I feel that should be the topic of discussion right now. Whatever side of the divide you are on, either OleIn or OleOut, one thing almost all United fan can agree on is that the Glazers have been leeches since they bought MUFC and since the leopard cannot change its spots, it’s time for them to get out of our club. After we finish protesting against the Glazers and forcing them out, everybody can go back to their agendas.

Sadly many people here don't care about that it's either Olein or Oleout here

CapitalCee:
How I wish its Man United. God na abeg I de beg na. I want those Far East Multi billionaires.

Mbappe, Halland, Sancho, Top CB, and Top DM, then renew Pogba Contract, get a backup RB. Then we are set.

Even Martin Luther king no dream reach this level

olabode89:
Not really, But he should know that Greenwood is a "shoot first" player, a pass first player like Pogba, Sancho or Messi would have been able to play McT for an easy tap in.

You are right, he should know that and try to create space for Greenwood luckily it went in.

Mctominay na olodo that guy almost ran into the space Greenwood was going to shoot

Panther7:
People on this thread actually rate Fred, says a lot about them.

Some people actually rate Fred on this thread sha

emitope:
Once we get good replacements for them I.e

A real striker
CM/CDM
A good Henderson assistant
An equally mad but injury free defender
A world class RW.

I really don't give a hoot about the mess.

Once we get a real striker, CM, A world class RW? Omo some people dey optimistic sha where una dey see this hope

People on this thread actually rate Fred, says a lot about them.

Woodward thinks we are making progress who are we to doubt it. Ole will be here for the long run.

ouzo1:
Waiting for the "we re still second crew to come and celebrate this useless draw"

Mediocrity at its peak

afrodoc2:
The gap between McFred and Bruno in big games is too much. Bruno will bomb forward and McFred sit back in order to protect Maguire/Lindelof leaving a big chasm in the midfield.

In line with you said, as long as we use Maguire/Lindelof the only solution would be to drop Bruno back into midfield and play as a 10 (but more like an extra no8). That way instead of 4 players isolated in attack it would only be the front 3. That might paradoxically improve our attacking play in those big games as we would have more possession in good areas.

It is obvious that this season the other managers in the big clubs have decided to take away our counterattacking ability so we too have to adjust accordingly.

Any explanation on how we won the big games last season? What has changed considering the fact that we have more 'quality players' this season.

Some people still dey talk title contenders when City is leading us with 12 points Lmao!!!!

If knowledge is saying Osimhen is better than Haaland omo I don't think I want to be knowledgeable.

KingAlabi:
Did you actually read what I said?

Anyways, agenda must agend

Na agenda na
Ole must go

KingAlabi:
You dey watch united at all?

When last martial start 3 consecutive matches?

Wow so it took Ole the last 3 games to realise Martial is lazy. Fantastic, Impressive.

KingAlabi:
Well
Even ole knows martial is very lazy

Ole knows he is lazy yet he refuses to bench him. Shey na ment?

afrodoc2:
Bruno is blocking our attackers yet he is averaging 2.8 key passes per game in the EPL and averaged 2.5 key passes per game in the UCL. In our Europa League match he made 3 key passes.

I want someone to name the players we have had in the last 10yrs who have supplied their team mates with as many goal scoring chances as Bruno.

Nahhh they will tell you those key passes are 'sideways passes' or '5 yard passes' so it doesn't count.

afrodoc2:
Normally when you see such small players, especially those that are bent like Fred it is hard to bring them down but eph12's guy falls yakataly every day. But i can't blame him too much for that obe. He is small and light so maybe he can't help it.

But that passing is quite a problem. His woeful passes are just due to mental indiscipline not physical limitation. This means he can improve on his passing if he truly wants, which is why i focus on it.

How can he correct that indiscipline is it through coaching or by himself?

afrodoc2:
I am not comparing o. I just noticed what you said that he misplaced SEVEN SIMPLE passes in the match. O wrong nau!

There was a time people were trying to rope him into one of Maguire's disaster classes i had to defend him. I try not to allow agenda affect my assessment so you should know i am saying this next bit objectively. He is the most careless passer we have in out team. He misplaces passes not because he can't pass the ball but because he is not just bothered to treat each pass as an important action.

There is no one in our team that misplaces simple passes like Fred. Another culprit is Bruno sometimes but at least that one makes up for it with goals and assists and he plays higher up the field. A CM/CDM like Fred should not be that careless with his passes. After studying Fred it appears he actually has good passing ability but is just incredibly careless with the ball.

O wrong nau. O wa too wrong nau.

I'm still trying to understand the science of Fred, someone like him with low centre of gravity is careless with his passes,falls easily like a leaf, I always thought short people passed the ball better (not backed up by facts sha) and have better balance Fred's case is opposite

MRTA7:
I was going to warn you but you were deep into it already. I have found there is literally no point in engaging him because he argues in bad faith every time.

Bro you should have warned me I didn't know it was that bad. I guess I learnt the hard way.

Trevor012:
By England I was referring to Epl not Europa or asking you to tell me he won the almighty Community shield

I give up you win, I can't cope with this degree of amala turning.

Trevor012:
League cup, Community shield What are those?

I asked you what Ibrahimovic did in the premier league not Europa

You asked "what did Ibrahimovic do in England" stop turning Amala na

Trevor012:
What has Cavani done in England? What did Ibrahimovic do in England?

Won 3 trophies in his first season; League cup, community shield and Europa league and he scored 28 goals that season something ''Ice cold Martial" and "Improving Rashford" have never done before.
Ibrahimovic season was cut short because of that nasty injury he sustained.
Back to my point sometimes guys overhype and overrate the EPL

Trevor012:
Epl is not Sería A. Sería A is a slow paced league which favours older players. 34yrs old Messi will flop so bad in England. Pep won't even want a lazy player like him in his team. He aint moving out of his comfort zone let's be real.

Like the way Ibrahimovic flopped when he came to EPL at 34 or the way Cavani is flopping right now?
Una too dey overhype this EPL sometimes

nitrogen:
Not sure he needs Messi. Also, you cant get more than 3 years from Messi. Baba don old.

Ronaldo is 36 and he is the top scorer in Serie A with 16 goals
Ibrahimovic has 14 goals and he is what? 39 or 40
A new challenge might present a new motivation besides they don't need him for 10 years they can squeeze out the remaining 3 years from him to win the Champions league.

Sniper4real:
To think of this. We all said pep can't dominate epl like others he did
It's a bad situation we've got ourselves in.

Well we were wrong. If they get Messi it's over

Lana1:
Pep had us believing City were back to being average after those first couple of games.

Make he sha come dey go(unless he'll be coming to United sha ). He has used 5 seasons at City and it's around that time that he goes on his sabbatical

That guy isn't going anywhere anytime soon he just extended his contract, the guy is in a well run club that is ready to splash the cash for him. Let's brace up cos that man go dominate the league for years to come.

Rashford and missing big chances
