I was trying to be patient with you but I guess you are offended because I have exposed your argument for its lack of merit and your only response is to throw tantrums? I just gave you the stats for said players just before they left to the present clubs and now that is not pre enough? Lol

Using goals to access DMs, how clever of you...

Mahrez achieved more with Leicester than Salah before joining Liverpool and Mahrez was a key player in that Leicester team...I don't understand what you mean when you imply Salah had a higher ceiling...

To win argument, una go turn logic on its head...

May God bless you .. I think he is forgetting that this central government we are practicing is killing some visionary states from reaching their height

I'd rather say; states blessed with natural resources and to be frank, the more the resources, the more politicians and corrupt civil servants will loot them...

Mrviktor:
If u can't protect your players then u doing a very bad job.

Not just players but bit players.

Ozil.
Guenduzi.
Xhaka
Aubameyang

How is Arteta connected to the Ozil issue?

Guendouzi was asked to apologize for his misconduct but he refused. Which manager will tolerate such?

Xhaka? What exactly did Arteta do to him?

airmark:
You missed his point. He was telling those using yesterday's 7-0 drubbing to hype Fraudiola to shut up as it is not enough to measure greatness.

Help me explain to your Chelsea brother...

izzou:
[color=royalblue] Truly, we need to start organising English lessons. I'll suggest you be the course rep.

My point was that there's everything special to get a victory, even if its 1-0. I didn't even compare Ole to anything.

Using scoreline to drive a point is pointless to me.

10 - 0 gives 3 points
1 - 0 gives 3 points.
The goal is always 3 points.

If Ole was winning 1- 0 consecutively for more than 5 games, you won't sack him. You would eulogize him.

Using scoreline to measure greatness is pointless in a marathon league. That was my point[/color]

His argument was premised on the fact that Pep can't be said to be the best after a 7 vs 0 victory because others managers that are not highly rated have seen their teams win with a higher margin. Just last week, we all watched City struggle against Wolves with their only goal coming via a contentious penalty...

Karleb:
Seriously, you deserve heavy flogging.

If he likes, let him win a million game unbeaten. I don't care and I didn't even mention that.

Point is, there is nothing special about Pep winning Leeds 7 - 0. Read that again.


You don shop this morning?

We need to start organizing English lessons here...

You mentioned Ole just to drive home a point that winning Leeds is not enough to say Pep is all that even though I agree that he is one of the great coaches around but that guy obviously missed the point, he thinks you're comparing Ole to Pep...

BikeMan:
And you think you're in the best position to talk about form now, ok

It's okay...

elrony:
Wetin clear like HD, you still dey ask.

You get time

This nonsense is making this sport section boring...You can't talk football again, everyone just wants to troll even when there's no reason to troll...

The draws have been made, why not they calm down until at least the first leg is played next year before they start trolling...It's tiring...

BikeMan:
To show that they don't need to be on top of La Liga to pull a team down. They've done it to Barca and Bayern in their prime too. Plus it's not like you're even better than them this season, you're struggling than them sef. Manyoo is a favourable draw for them too.

Do you have comprehension issues?

No one is saying Atletico is a walk over, I and others only made reference to their form when folks began overeating them by saying they're much more difficult compared to PSG...

BikeMan:
They are still far better than you this season so donstan is right. Well, it makes things juicy for trolls because you people will definitely vacate this thread by the time they start digging your chest beating posts of how you all said Atletico is a walk over. I remember what they did to Liverpool just 2 seasons ago.

And then you make reference to 2 seasons ago...SMH!

melodyogonna:
I don't want to play the devil's advocate but I'm curious. What's wrong with Pogba having his treatment in Dubai? How does that affect anyone?

Unless on occasions where the club doctors can handle a case, no player should go abroad for treatment...

At Carrington, they'll be better monitored to ensure they're adhering to the doctors prescription and advice...

They'll have access to facilities to aid their recuperation...

It's not nice to see a supposed injured player having the time of his life abroad when he should be working hard to get back on the pitch...

Rangnick is not mad to have frowned at it...

Mrviktor:
He has been maltreating auba since he came in

You don't know what you're talking about...

donstan18:
I don’t know what ATM use to be, but whatever they are now, they are far better than ManU of the last 4 years.

ManU fans are not in anyway qualified talk down on Athletico’s form. They are way better than ManU of this season, last season and last 3 seasons.

Una no be mate.

Okay...

Mrviktor:
All this rookie managers self

What do you mean by rookie manager? Arteta is right here...

If Ole had the balls, the captain's armband would have been taken off Maguire...

By the time Aubameyang is sold, the rest of the players will know that Arteta is boss and they'll fall in line. No time for indiscipline...

Why were we celebrating when Rangnick said players won't be allowed to travel out for treatment when we have one of the best medical teams? Pogba will be injured but you see him having a nice time in Dubai...

donstan18:
The way ManU fans are saying Athletico are shiit this season will make you think ManU have been outstanding this season.

ATM dey 4th for their league, survived a group of Liverpool, Porto and Ac Millian.


But ManU wey dey rot for 5th with Arsenal and Conte chasing them think they’ve been better than ATM this season.

You are fond of interpreting things out of context...Who said Manchester United have been excellent? The point is that Atletico are not the team they once were so, to see Manchester United fans saying they'd have preferred PSG was shocking hence the need to point out Atletico is better draw...

Ac Milan and Porto are not great team at the moment so, I don't get the hype about that group...

slawormiir:
Damnnn niggar
Damnnn
I saw Schwarzenegger....I told the afia is connected to the real Schwarzenegger

Damnnn....and the person doing the massage on her is a guy...damnnnnn....that niggar Ain't gonna tell me he didn't get any erection

Imagine mounting this baby girl from the back...tell her to raise her hips or just put a pillow under her belly...then slide in while you hold her Bobby with two hands...damnnnnn you will be in paradise

Lol you no well...

BikeMan:
All these words just to say you're already scared? Why can't you just own up to your own words for once Legbegbe? Just months ago, you were saying Chelsea did nothing by winning Atletico and even claimed we can't win the UCL as at then. E reach your turn, you con dey form for mouth, LMAO!

Sebi Atletico is a defensive team that every team can beat now, why you con dey quote marital status?

Hehehe this una funny names sef...

CapitalCee:
We are beating Athletico. PSG would have had us for dinner

Leave them. When the first draw was made, they were complaining here because they know PSG and the threat they possess but now they're sounding like Atletico are a tougher nut to crack than PSG...

Messi for carry Maguire shine...

Have we been watching the same Atletico? This season, Simeone has tried to set up his team to attack more and they have been struggling.

Atletico are not that great for now so, we stand a strong chance of knocking them out.

Leyqute:
Exactly what I said the other day. The intensity of the sessions scared him away.

I asked his agent Patrickmuf if it’s true. He said it’s a lie that he had spoken to his client.

Make we Dey see sha.

Ya mad...

Illimitable:
We couldn’t even break down Norwich. Palace gave us hell on our own patch. Atletico’s satanic football would be too much for the naive United players.

There’s plenty of time for us to improve though but I would fancy playing against Pochettino than Atletico. El Cholo is a master tactician of the dark arts.

His team can score 3 goals with 6% possession.

Had me laughing...

Lana1:
UEFA is a very useless political group that only wants to line its pockets. After failing for years to get an el classico final with Ronaldo and Messi, they now make sure they face both of them off in the knockout rounds every other year

It's just crazy...If not for the outcry, they wouldn't have voided the first draw...

Hopefully we can see off Atletico who for me are an easier opponent than PSG.

MRTA7, the draw has been canceled...

MRTA7:
i dont think it benefits uefa for one of Messi or CR to be eliminated at this stage.

I think its just bad luck.

The chances of them progressing and meeting at a later date is slim...Watching Norwich vs Manchester United, I think someone said we better arrange this fixture before one of them gets eliminated...

This draw looks arranged...UEFA just want to make money off the game...

It will be very difficult for us to beat PSG...First of all, our defenders and Ge Gea get phobia for Messi...

eph12:
Go and watch Silva, Iniesta, Messi etc and you will see that they help their team retain possession. Then come back, watch as Ronaldo, Rashford and Bruno against Norwich help their team lose possession so easily

Whoever is having that argument with you that the strikers don't have a role to play is definitely not me...I am particular about midfield because you are attempting to put all the blame on the forwards and forwards alone...If I was responding to Expert, I'd also highlight the role of forwards in keeping possession...

In all, a good midfield and defense forms the basis for retaining the ball 70%

FirstbornWds:
Take it or leave it, Busquets is our best midfielder right now. Left to me, I'd ask for one more hand to assist him ( Pjanic would be fine but I doubt we want to see him play) and Jong in the midfield. That way, Pedri ( might walk back in after injury) Gavi, Nico, and Puig can play as substitutes.

The problem here is the backline and forward. As much as I know Dembele cannot be relied on, I see them as one of the top threats upfronts behind only Fati and Depay, so I think we better renew with him and manage his injury ( whatever that means) and get a proper 9. I am exempting Abde and Demir for now.

As for defense, Umtiti played okay yesterday, although rusty and if he can grow well, we should be looking at getting maybe 2 CBs, or maybe 3 ( in case we sell him later)...

Umtiti's case is what I don't get. Injury messed that guy up, I am quietly hoping he picks form...

eph12:
How can you blame a player that had the highest attempted and successful passes for the team's inability to keep the ball? Why?

For a midfielder, keeping the ball is not just passing it when it gets to you, your ability to receive the ball, spin your marker and pass is key to breaking down the opposition...

Go and watch Busquets, Xavi, Alonso, Modric etc and you'd see how they help their team retain possession as well as initiate attacks by taking out 1 or 2 opposition players either through a quick turn, spin or raking long passes from deep...

Pique, Busi, Lenglet, Alba, Dest etc should be sold or released...

The main problem of the team is not even in attack but midfield (DM) and defense...Only Araujo looks steady, the rest are pants in that defense...

Expert17 doesn't want to see any fault in Bruno, rather he blames Fred whilst eph12 on the other hand thinks Bruno is the reason we can't keep the ball...

The truth is in between but agenda must agend...

afrodoc2:
Sorry no vex. I meant Oga TA

Okay...

Whether Rangnick fails or not, I don't think it vindicates Ole...

I will share my opinion on Rangnick after 10-15 games because I expect the players to be pumped up for his first 5 games or thereabout so, I won't read any meanings to it...

One area I want to see a change is in midfield, McFred against Norwich is a big NO for me, VDB has to play alongside one of the twins. We need to start dominating games. I watched Liverpool vs Villa and whilst they won by a line goal, they attacked up until the final whistle. Liverpool and City create a lot of chances because they are always on the front foot and attack in numbers...
