Pedri is special, very special...

That Adama guy has been marking Yamal closely but for the goal, Yamal sat him down...

BlewMahn:
Dawg. These players are beyond embarrassing.

Neto, Guiu, Santos, Essugo...Una get plenty useless players.

Fredooo una don dey learn this thing.

Ibime:
It does not matter. The chance is already man Vs keeper which has a high chance of scoring

Tell me you don't know anything about football by absolving the two defenders there. My uni football team can't concede that goal. It's a simple procedure when you have 1 striker against 2 centrebacks. One goes tight and claps him, the other always drops 5 years to pick up any spillover. If you call any of my centreback oartners, they will quote this playbook for you word for word.

The mistake had been made, Sanchez was supposed to rescue his CBs, he made a move to go sweep the ball but had doubts and that's why he was beaten easily.

What's wrong with DSTV?

Ibime:
You are a joker

Two centrebacks getting beaten by one long ball on their halfway line is a CRIMINAL offence

That's your headache. Sanchez shouldn't have hesitated after initially making the move to rush out.

Bluelines69:
See as Tosin dey jog

That's on Sanchez and not Tosin.

But na still una say Man Utd dey bribe refs when we were dominating the league. When Chelsea became a force, we all said they were destroying the transfer market with money from their owners, the same was said of City...When you are doing well, people will start throwing dirt at you. It has nothing to do with hate...Una just dey overflog this matter.

andrewbaba44:
Ddg over both

Joe hart over Allison

You are still repeating this thing? Joe Hart? Baba this your take get as e be...😂

livelongprospa:
God abeg😭😭😭😭

Bwala just disgraced himself and the administration. I am sure that guy, Ajuri, who resigned, would've done much better.

Bimmarlykay:
Lol...Y'all Iranian supporters be reasoning like a toddler, that's the goal, and a very strategic one at that... remember, Trump warned in the 12-day war that Bibi could've taken him out, but he (Trump) stepped in... nothing cowardly about the act, you hit a rat strategically before it runs into its hideout. In a regime change, the head needs to go.

Are you okay? Was Iran at war with Israel and the US at that point? What if Iran attacked Israel unannounced, what will be your position?

If you want to have a discourse, don't engage like one without communication etiquette.

Sportsweb:
This thing na lie. Western propaganda. Ayotallah wanted to die, he wanted to be martyred, he refused to hide, he didn't want to witness what Israel and USA are about to do to his regime, so he decided to logout of this world to go and chill with baddies

When the Ayatollah was killed, Iran was still negotiating with the US. His killing was an act of cowardice...People are acting like it was in the midst of a war that he was killed. Since the war began, why have we not heard of the death of senior Iranian military leaders...People choose to see what they want to see and believe what they choose to...

safarifarms:
No they've been planning for 50 years and lost their supreme leader on day 1.

When the Ayatollah was killed, Iran was not at war. At that point, Iran was still locked in negotiations with the US with further talks scheduled for Vienna. It was more or less an act of cowardice on the part of Israel and the US to go on the offensive while at the negotiation table.

Stop misinforming people...

TruthU87:
How do you start a war you have no weapons to fight with? 5 days into a war and you are already running out of weapons 😂 what do they do with the 1 trillion annual defense budget?

United States simply doesn't have the resources to continue a sustained conflict with Iran. They have to pull weapons and resources from elsewhere. Sounds like the war isn't going the way Trump had hoped...

People think all that money goes into the procurement of weapons and research for new military gear, but that is not the case. The United States has military bases all over the world, and they have to maintain these bases... They project power worldwide at a very high running cost. I read somewhere that they spend millions daily to keep an aircraft carrier and its strike group operational.

Kilishihunter:
Look at the van den ven we're even hyping to be our elite CB signing collecting a red card. If no be say we can't afford bastoni ehn

He is actually better than Bastoni. The problem is that if Spurs are not relegated, he won't come cheap for any team that wants to sign him.

See the ignorance of people on full display in the thread...People with little or no knowledgewill be dropping takes that make no sense.

Mattswaggz:
If they couldn't even secure their top personnel then common sense should have told them that they're no match for Israel and the US but they chose gra gra.

At this point, Iran was not at war and still in negotiations with the US with further talks planned for Vienna...It was a cowardly act.

Jamiuokolaa:
With the 105m wey dem dey call?

Hehe

Make them relegate first.

This is how you approach a game when your opponent is a man down.

See assist from Wharton...Mainoo, watch and learn.

Meanwhile, Wharton is a joy to watch.

I fear for Spurs...If they go down, we have to go for Van De Ven...

fredoooooo:
Who you wan beat today.. refree or FA chairman wey born order una regular PK ?
Pdp power ...
Ojoro united

😂 😂 😂 if e easy, do am...Meanwhile, keep my 3 pts cooling.

Altern8tor:
After yesterday's games,,how bodi do u?

Forever beneath us...

engrelvis:
That side passes and playing it safe has always been Mainoo weakness.Yoro is another culprit of that too.A fit Mount will be very useful to us.l dnt really support his sale
We are seriously missing Martinez in that backline .That second goal won't have been possible if was he was there.

Mount should be shipped out, he has not been helpful to us at all.

afrodoc2:
Mainoo was worse than Ugarte yesterday tbh. We had 1 man advantage, instead of taking the game over and pushing the issue, he kept recycling the ball from nowhere to nowhere. I have seen this happen before when Tom Cleverley turned from a player who successfully partnered with Anderson by making incisive passes into sideways Cleverly because he fancied himself to be a Xavi.

Mainoo can make those passes but his mindset and mentality is all wrong.

We don't have a left winger who is ready in the academy. Not next season. I had hopes for Ethan Williams, but he lacks the intensity or elite athleticism needed.

Devaney is our most robust CM and is currently on loan but i don't think the club rates him as highly as the Fletchers and Kone. He is very intense defensively, but the rest are all better on the ball than him.

Nobody is ready at RB. Kamason and James Overy have had injury problems all season.

Amass can be tested at LB next preseason. He did well in the 1st half of the season but is currently injured in his new club. Diego Leon has been the worst player in the Under-21s by far so far. That one is not an option for now.

At CF we probably need to loan Obi out next season to get regular minutes, if not he will regress. We can bring Wheatley back to be a squad option.
Rotate Sesko, Mbeumo, Cunha, Wheatley at CF.
Rotate Amad, Mbeumo, Lacey at RW.
Rotate Cunha, Dorgu at LW.

I am not sure how much money is available for transfers, but we need to get the top value players in midfield. 2 or 3 like you said. Then get a senior LB. We can manage Maz and Dalot for 1 more season at RB. Then we can get either a LW or a CF.

CM x 2-3
LW or CF
LB

Thank you for this. If we qualify for the UCL, I reckon we will spend more. Hopefully, yesterday's result was just a slip and does not plant doubt in the minds of the players...We need to win our next game to get back on track.

engrelvis:
What exactly did Sesko play yesterday? His positioning and ball awareness was very poor

Rather, the service to him were very poor.

engrelvis:
We are playing one match every one week or more yet ur talking about burnout? One of our problem is mentality.That match was winnable yesterday if Carrick has made the right decision in terms of substitution.Mbeumo,Sesko ,shaw were not suppose to come out of that dugout in second half.

I agree with Mbeumo and Shaw but not Sesko.

Afrodoc2, I saw your comment on Mainoo yesterday and I agree 100%...The sideways passes are annoying, you see Casemiro and Bruno playing line-breaking passes and then there's a young man in Mainoo who should be more adventurous but no, he chooses to almost always play it safe...

With Casemiro leaving, Ugarte certainly leaving (he has to, else we riot) and Mount joining them, we need to sign 3 top quality midfielders, a left winger, an experienced CF (If Obi is not ready and if Zirkzee is sold) and a RB and LB...

Doc, any chance we have a player from the academy or reserve who can fill any of the aforementioned roles?

larride:
You were complaining about Mainoo and Case before half time with their nonsense performance, yet you don't want Ugarte to come in?

I doubt if Heaven has played left back before and he only came in because Maz was limping.

I agree that Amad should've been introduced earlier.

The point is that this squad is short of quality options or no options at all. It's terribly squad planning.

My guy, we all agree that the squad definitely needs improvement and hopefully we do good business in the summer.

About Ugarte, no matter how bad Casemiro is playing, Ugarte is not an option. I wouldn't have complained if Mainoo was taken off for Zirkzee, so that Bruno can drop deep, it's an option Carrick has to try when we are chasing games.

larride:
All these players you mentioned came in, what changed?

Ugarte shouldn't have been brought on.

Malacia should've been eased back into the team but he was thrown into such a high-pressure game when Heaven was on the bench.

Amad should have been introduced much earlier.
