FirstbornWds:
People like you are the problem. It took so long to see through his uselesness. I am sure that there are more like you in the board that's just seeing things now that we are in the gallows.


You should apologize to every one here for EVER standing up for that fraud.

It's his normal reaction after every disappointing display...

Watch how he will vehemently defend Koeman prior to the game against Atletico...

E no take me time to spot am because I get people like am for Manchester United thread...Love for a legend over the club. SMH

elrony:
Well, at least we manage see 3 points.

The less said about the team play and the clueless one , the better.

For how long bro?

See strange monikers viewing the thread...

Small pikin with over 20 monikers trying so hard to give himself some credence online...

Una never hala...

Messi is the Greatest...Go kill yourself if you're pained and can't quote me...

Stupid idiot can't do without seeking attention from me...Una plenty but all of una na toys.

Trevor012:
Patrickmumu dey type long epistles dey disguise. Awon I prefer Messi smellows

The hole you came out from is what's smelling...

nitrogen:
Baba, go and support Messi FC. This is Utd and Ronaldo FC.

Please fuvk off!

It's not a crime if he is a Messi fan...

Some of us have preference for certain kind of players and it rubs off in our opinions here...For me, I prefer players who are not scared of receiving the ball under pressure and making good use of it. I rather my team keeps the ball and dominate so naturally I prefer players who are ballers...

Make this thing no pass the level wey e dey...I celebrated Ronaldo goal just same way he celebrated scoring against us when he was at Juve (Didn't mean he hated Manchester United) ...As long as he is here, I'll wish him well but still I prefer Messi.

jpmoriarti:
If this is the price we have to pay to get rid of Koeman, then so be it. His time at Barca is clearly over now.

No, he needs more time, the team isn't good enough...

macjireh:
congratulations... ur analogy has passed

It was not an analogy bro but a hopeful wish...

The story of Ole's reign, we play badly and win and all the crap we played is forgotten...

We played trash...We won't always be lucky, we need to be dominating games...

KingAlabi:
Rubbish display

But I will take the win

Just a question, why do we allow our opponents too much time to think on the ball.

Baba this is one of the biggest issue we have...Zero pressing.

Agenda putt in full...From Sancho to Dalot to Ronaldo to DDG...

Them no fit talk about Telles because him score.

I take the 3 pts...Ronaldo is a winner.

Jpmoriarti see your man...

eph12:
Both actually

Baba we have a good team...

eph12:
He still started a match last week. I guess that one na training too. I love these excuses

No need to put Fred o. They should allow the team play like 10 matches straight like this if not we no go get sense to understand the team we have

Understand the coach we have you mean?

Joezinho:
This is how a fifa team looks in real life. No midfield, no balance, no cohesion, no plan, just through ball, pace merchants and inshallah...

Pogba is way too far forward. We can't play with this many players forming a line across their back we get in each other's way, have no creativity from central and every time we turn the ball over we're entirely exposed..

Pogba is the only one trying to unlock that Villareal defense...

larride:
Do you guys still want us to sell DDG?

Expert17 and CapitalCee are offline...

eph12:
Dalot is rusty as in he has not been training and keeping fit so he can take his chance when it presents itself? Make sense

LMAO which one is manager system and head coach please?

Training and a competitive match are quite different...

No worry them go soon put you to help us protect the draw...

Oasis007:


I no fit lie, dem dey slice our fullbacks easily like Butter. Greenwood and Sancho should move inward, to create space for both fullbacks to do their jobs offensively.

You sabi ball...Sancho especially is guilty of hugging that touch line. I no know whether them no dey watch how Mane and Salah dey tuck inside to free up space for Robertson and TAA respectively...

It boils down to the clueless Ole...

Agenda everywhere...I rather have Dalot over AWB...

Ole is clueless, very few player will look as good as they really are under him...

McTominay:
You guys just dey misyarn! Take out mctominay and see how our midfield looks. Our problem is neither Fred or TomTom, but OGS not instructing the sitting midfielder (dmf) to stay just infront of the defense. Our supposed dmf keeps getting forward to play as an amf leaving opposition players to run straight at our defense.
Compare our with that of Chelsea, city and Liverpool. Ours keep getting forward unnecessarily and loose the ball.

McTom concentrate on the match...

You have gotten the nod ahead of eph12 so do well to justify your selection...

Oasis007:
Lineup

Better...

Godada:


Pep has my Unalloyed respect as a all time coach. He is up there in the top 5 best. Carlo Ancelloti and Mourinho.

The title is actually misleading. Pep is dead serious about his job. He wants cold results from his players.

This can be seen from his past. Ibrahimovic had issues with Pep because Messi wanted to play in the middle. Messi delivered trophies too that the same year he played in the middle with the holy grail of football...the champions League.

The debate about who is the G.O.A.T in football has been over flogged. These are different players with different strengths. No point arguing whose better.

Among the two: Anyone can be a CR7 but that comes with monster and unparalleled dedication. Good luck with that.

Messi is naturally gifted. But imitating him would be difficult too.

That been said. Pep understands and reads the game very well but he over tinkers with his team

At the bolded, it shows you really understand football...He tries to be too clever and sometimes, it backfires...

What are you bookmarking? You sabi read so?

I was going to ask...

Segedinho:
Today is my birthday

Juve 2 vs 0 Chelsea

Goal

Morata and Chiesa

Birthday blessings Chief...

Oasis007:
Unai Emery: “Individually, they [Manchester United] have very good players – attackers like Cavani, Martial and Cristiano Ronaldo. These are three attackers who could play in any team.”

Baba be very kiaful...

Oasis007:
Solskjær on Villarreal: "We have played each other five times, every time has been a draw. Very well organised, technically very good. They can play from the back. It is hard to press against them, which I thought we did well in the [Europa League] final."

Have we ever pressed as a unit? This man has an idea what football should be like but he just can't implement what's in his head...

He keeps talking about pressing but we never press as a team, just one or two individuals pressing.

Oasis007:
Emery is coming with Locomotive Train Tactic. We should expect Villareal to be ultra defensive, thus I expect idiotic Ole to start both CR7 and Cavani upfront.

We need crosses flying in from left and right into opposition Box.

My predicted Lineup below...... Hit or Miss.

I'd say hit but I don't know if we'd have enough defensive cover for Telles and Dalot...On the bright side, this selection should see us keep the ball for the most part.

Joezinho:
Villarreal are definition of ogbono soup...5 draws and 1 win for them so far in La Liga… This is going to be the lowest of low blocks, just can’t see past a draw but we bloody need that win..

I expected good games against Young Boys and Aston Villa and got shiit on. Now I expect an awful and boring game. Maybe that will reverse-jinx it. Villareal and Everton games are make it or brake it. Must-wins both of them to get back on track.

I watched Real Madrid vs Villareal over the weekend. I hope the Villarreal that turned up against Madrid doesn't turn up tonight if not they'll cause us serious problems...

Hopefully Ole opts for ball players rather than his twins...

ChristoBam:
Who will criticize Poch for playing two DMs ehhn?

With that frontline of Neymar, Mbappe and Messi. No one expects otherwise.

Besides Herrera already has like 5 goals this season. He's in no way similar to any of McFred.

The question is; that did their midfielders do their job? Yes...

Here, Ole will play our best CM on the wings while Bruno is the AM...When McFred win the ball, they struggle to give a pass (Fred tries but his passes are sometimes erratic) and can't carry the ball forward (McTom is better here but he just runs into traffic because he is a terrible passer). We need Pogba playing close to those guys so that once they win back the ball, he is within 5 yards of them to receive the pass and from they progress with the ball forward or pick any of our forwards with a pass...

With the wingers we have, it amounts to underutilizing them when Pogba is played from the wings. What Ole needs to do is simply to drop one of Pogba or Bruno or play Pogba alongside either of McFred or Matic...VDB is also an option alongside either of McFred...

eph12:
If Ole demands it from them? Why didn't you bring this up before talking about their contributions na?

So now you acknowledge that Veratti was a very solid 3rd man in that midfield. Go on

I have said it here before...
