I act worried.

Wow what an answer.

Uniquisite:
Fred is a very buttttttttt his first control, second touch are his greatest undoing.. God why

He can't pass the ball, he has no balance and keeps falling down, Can't make a clean tackle so saying his first control and second touch are his greatest undoing is you trying to undermine his deficiencies.

Expert17:
Fred?

How naa

Cos he has pashun

nani667:
#OleOUT

Guy why you go post Ole achievement and still say Ole out?

Expert17:
Even the Man Utd fans wey call Cavani pensioner

Dey shout goal

Correct me if I'm wrong but Nobody ever said that.

Leyqute:
Haba. That goes without saying. Each system has weak points that can be exploited. Players can make mistakes and the opposition’s pressing system may be superb.

According to Phil Neville or so, Sol Campbell was the target then at Arsenal; Fred currently is a surebanker to lose possession if the space is tight and the intensity is right; and Soyüncu and Evans can be dispossessed too. Nothing is 100% airtight.

I guess you are right, speaking of Fred I no rate that guy at all I'm quite surprised a lot of people here do rate the guy.

Leyqute:
Right.

You can argue that Leeds have the best quality in playing out from the back in the epl and you won't be wrong. In Leicester, all the attacking midfielders at one point or the other drop back to help in the buildup. And like you said, their CBs and full backs are good on the ball and their CDM can play facing his goal.

As good as leeds are from playing out from the back they are still prone to mistakes if you press certain players especially one of the centre backs can't remember his name but they get away with it because they are well coached and drilled in that aspect.

They create passing triangles and passing lines but there is still an element of mistake because of the quality of the players they have.

In other news, according to reports United's database has been hacked how true is this or it just PR stunt?

KingAlabi:
Sutton greatest strength is also their greatest weakness against a team like United

Like the leipzig game right? But Sutton are a bit different and more aggressive than Leipzig but let's wait and see.

Leyqute:
That’s not really true. We sabi build from the back it’s just slow. That’s why it takes many passes to get through to the opponent’s box. And if they are energetic and well composed we won’t.

Against Soton, Ole should start Cavani and send all GKs towards him with Bruno and the other attackers stationed around him to claim second balls.

Remember how we struggled in our last meeting against them, we were all over the place in the first 20 minutes. I agree with the last statement, Ole should start Cavani and send it long to him but we all know Amaka will start Martial and Mata in that match.

patrickmuf:
I just hope Istanbul Basaksehir gets a point against Leipzig or beat them if possible because I don't trust this our team when the stakes are high...

But before then, Sutton on Sunday...We really need all the points in that game, I hope the players are up for it...

Sutton's game if Ole decides to stick with his playing from the back we are definitely going to lose that game cos those guys really press high up the pitch and our players no sabi build from the back.

patrickmuf:
We are not Liverpool, we are Manchester United...

Where our rivals fail, we should win...That's the only way we can be the best and not making excuses for our failures...

If we lost to West Brom, I am sure people here would have pointed to the defeat of City but we won and that's a plus, we closed the gap on City...That's the idea...The complaints you read here after a match is because some of us want know the team can do better and if we fail whist trying hard, I don't think people will be all over the place cursing Ole or the players but a situation where we play poorly with Ole getting it all wrong and the players serving BS, expect the fans to complain...

Just so you know, Liverpool host Ajax at Anfield and Midtjylland away that's not comparable to PSG and Leipzig...

The failures of our rivals shouldn't be an excuse abeg...

It's shocking that people have already accepted mediocrity, well 7 years of constant disappointment allowed us to drop our standards.

Liverpool lost, City lost so we should be happy forgetting that these guys can go on 17 match winning streak same can't be said about United.

eph12:
Most times? What do you now say about those that have lesser pass accuracy like say Fernandes?

Fernandes attempts high risk passes that leads to goal creation or chances in the final third of the opposition which is acceptable. Fred loses possession in our final third which results to us conceding a goal. Tell me which one is better?

eph12:
I hope you know how pass accuracy is calculated? Or you're saying if VDB attempted more passes, he would have more passing accuracy? This may be true however its mere speculation.

VDB is expected to play more vertical or forward passes. He should be taking more risks than Fred. What pass accuracy is manageable for a DM? 90%?

What Stats don't show you is that players can over hit a pass or under hit a pass even if it gets to another player it will still be counted as a completed pass.

Fred most times over hit or under hit the ball which puts players receiving the ball at a disadvantage this is what stats will never tell you.

Tell me you don't have your heart in your mouth whenever Fred passes the ball??.
Come on we all watch Fred na we don't need stats for that

eph12:
He made some mistakes in the match, so did others. You're dwelling on his.

Stats don't agree with the highlighted. We are praising VDB even though he had same pass accuracy as Fred. But what do I know

Stats don't always tell the truth even though Fred and VDB had the same passing accuracy VDB played more vertical passes than Fred and Fred lost the ball more than VDB. Fred attempted more passes than VDB but still has the same passing accuracy as VDB says how poor Fred is on the ball.

handelex:
But from what you've seen so far how far?

He is good but United isn't playing to his strengths.

handelex:
Quick question... Is Telles really providing something more different than Shaw on that left side?

You want to use 2 matches to access how good Telles?
Omo X 10000

Oasis007:
Solskjær on his long-term vision: "How long have you got? It deserves more than one sentence. We are a team who want to attack quickly, quick on the break, quick attacking players."

Counter attack and insha Allah

Martial scored a penalty against Leipzig I really hope that boosted his confidence.
"Penalties boost confidence"

KingAlabi:
One has to be better Na

Fred is a better average player than Mctominay

KingAlabi:

In your view
Tominay is better than Fred

In my view they are both average players.

KingAlabi:

Fred makes more tackles per game

His tackles most of the time don't result into turnovers of the ball, interceptions is your ability to read the game, tackles na gragra. AWB makes tackles but most of the time it results into throw in or corner kicks

please how relevant is the jamb letter of admission in NYSC registration ?

timay:
Oga Bruno money is 49.5m with add ons to make it to 60m. No dey inflate price tag just to make point.

The way that person inflates price tags needs to be studied.

eph12:
This has always been their game na. Lots of running, long balls, spam crosses etc. They don't bother about the beauty or aesthetics of the game, just hit it direct

I'm sure some folks there won't like it if we played that way.

Liverpool is an attacking team yes but is it just me or their attacking isn't that fluid, they play way too many long balls, well that works for them cos they have runner but it's not pleasing to the eye.

Oasis007:



Martial should be subbed off jhioor!

whose side are you on? Everton or United

Leyqute:
This is definitive proof that Ole reads the comments made on this board. Who knows if he's always browsing through nairaland on that tab of his during matchdays, waiting for afrodoc and patrick's submission on his taktiks?

if he is reading comments from Nairaland he should please resign na

handelex:
Meanwhile OGS reacting to his job being only the line....
" Solskjaer: "I decline to comment. It is early and opinions are out there all the time. "I have got to stay strong. I am employed by the club to do a job and will do it to the best of my ability."

For starters this man talks too much he should just STFU!!!

afrodoc2:
Nani does not speak in sentences. I need someone i can communicate with and that will mentor me in the AmakaOut fraternity.

Nitrogen will do a good job

Leyqute:
You have a short memory.

Post COVID Utd were blowing parkdebus teams away with a midfield trio of Matic, Pogba and Bruno.

Trouble started when teams started pressing us up the pitch, preventing Matic from building attacks. Fred n McTom, although they can offer protection , can’t be relied on to distribute the ball as well as Matic.

Ole doesn’t need players.

You have a short memory.

I don't think it's short memory I think it's selective memory, some people choose to remember certain things

timay:
I doubt that. They play against teams that press in the bundesliga regularly without problem. The likes of sabitzer, Nkunku and co are quality players, so that one nobi excuse
They just had problem with the set up we used yesterday, they found it difficult to progress the ball to create chances, thus resulting to recycling possession.

Funny enough, Ole must have seen Leipzig last league game against Hoffenheim , and adopted Hoffenheim strategy with little fine tuning to contain them. Even though they eventually beat Hoffenheim 2-1, but they found it difficult to break them down throughout the game. Those ones lost because they couldn't keep up their concentration level throughout the game.

The key to Ole's win yesterday was Leipzig last match were he must have discovered that the team is useless against low block, hence the 4-4-2

Brilliant analysis, the recycling of possession is making some people believe Leipzig outplayed us and they only had 2 shots on targets with just one clear cut chance created.

Some people sha like possession football with little or no end product. Energy drink didn't really threaten except with setpieces.
