The team showed resilience in the 2nd half.

Bogey team Cadiz. Still taking points off us.

You sound like those Ole fan boys in Manchester United's thread...

Koeman is shit, give it a rest...

Mister man calm down. This is only party politics not general election.

Why should Fayose decide who bears the party flag?

What will the FG be doing with 20% of another man's sweat.
30% sharing among states too is high. They will still use the VAT formula for sharing.
Let each state control their resources that's good. 10% should go federation account and as well, Distributable Pool Account.

The central government have to function as they have their role to play. You don't expect the state to handle the military and other functions of the FG...

As for the sharing formula, it's up to the rep members from the South to insist on a fair sharing formula which can even be debated and made part of the review and possibly law upon assent.

erusen:
alot of people in this bullshit thread also want to mask the underperformance of mount(who plays virtually every game)and loud havertz so it goes the other way too,I even proposed setting goal and assist Target for both mount and havertz at least 15 goals/assist in all competitions so we can judge them come season end ,but these clowns want to set that bar for havertz ,but mount can continue playing every game on vibes without endproduct.

It's so for both camps...Both have been poor tbh...

izzou:
[color=royalblue]While I understand that Havertz10 may be up to some mischief, that stats is very poor for an attacking midfielder.

Very very poor. [/color]

Both Mount and Havertz have been very poor for Chelsea for quite sometime...Not only them, Ziyech too has been poor and Pulisic is injury prone...Those 2 spots are up for grabs behind Lukaku...

Havertz10:
An attacking midfielder has so far played 20 games for club and country without scoring once

20 games

If he scores 20 in 20 games for England, will it add a point to Chelsea's point total?

This club and country combination is only because you guys want to mask the underperformance of Kai and loud that of Mount...I am pretty certain that if Mount had a stellar Euros, you lots would have restricted the argument to club football...

Illimitable:
But you were here when all and sundry were screaming for an elite DM in the summer but Ole thought otherwise. Every man and his dog knows McFred isn’t the gold standard but Ole seems to be ok with the combination.



Top opponents are only 8 games out of the 38 league games in a season. McFred should be a counter attacking strategy at best. The two have loads of energy to soak the pressure and launch a counter attack as soon as Fred wins the ball(which he does a lot more) than any other midfielder in the club.

Ole’s dishonesty is what irks. He was fine with the squad in the summer. He simply said the Glazers have blessed him with great players and he couldn’t ask for more from them.

After losing the game last night, Ole told MUTV “We're not great when we play against a low block and just sling crosses in because we're not that type of team. We didn't have those types of players.". In other words, he knew we are shit against low block teams but he refused to fix the problem in the transfer window by either getting a deep lying playmaker or sign a plan B player like Fellaini.

Ole is a fraud.

He subtly drop some lines intentionally to prey on the emotions of unguarded fans...

From here on in, watch him use every presser to drive home his point that we are struggling because teams sit back. Next, his fans will turn on the Glazers asking that Ole should be supported to get certain type of players...

Evil Toto Decay, bitter witch


Desperately looking for support from her fellow witches from coven even if it means pulling down their marriages and relationship

✓ if you want to warn a married woman with a family like Janema why not write her a private message or DM that you have reasonable cause to believe that her nude both very recent and old are with Kpokpogri

✓if she saw Janema's recent and old sextapes from Kpokpogri since all this while, why is she just annoucing it to everyone.. why did her ex boyfriend Kpokpogri play such sextapes to her, is she an accomplice to the blackmail, or she used the sextape as porn they watched together

Well said...

Mopolchi:
You need Fayose's endorsement not just picking the form

Not the people?

We contribute to building strong men instead of strong institutions in our own little way like you're trying to do here...

mocipe:
In a nutshell the FG is sharing 50-50 with the states? Why what are the FG producing.

States must collect 90%.

No, FG gets 20%, the respective states keep 50% and 30% is pulled together to be shared across the states, this way, states who will take sometime to find their feet have a bit of succor in the form of monthly allocation.

Aufbauh:
Many still don't understand the write up or the VAT debacle yet they want to write something. Nigerians are very sentimental people that is why we can hardly get things right.

However the proposal by the HoR is a welcome development as it will create soft landing for the over 30 states that are insolvent.

The bitter reality is that if States are to take control of their respective state VAT over 30 states of the federation can't meet up going by their current standing.
Apart from Lagos, Rivers, Oyo, Ogun and one or two States in the SS including FCT, the remaining States are insolvent. Yet their indigenes won't allow us on nairaland about state control whereas their Governors are scared to stand on their own.

The proposed amendment makes sense. States that are struggling will still get FAAC off the 30% remitted by each state to the central account whilst the FG will still function with 20% of revenue generated from each state...

This is a fantastic idea. I hope they clearly spell out the sharing formula of the 30% remitted to the central purse...

Illimitable:
McFred is the best combination we have. Even though it falls short of the gold standard, it’s our best combo in that midfield.

Fred gets a lot of criticism but his defensive side is criminally underrated. It is what he does with the ball that people flog him with, no one remembers how he puts himself about and constitutes a nuisance to the opposition attacks.

Matic has a brain but his legs are gone. I am yet to see VDB perform in that role at a top level so the jury is a bit out on him. That said, I doubt he can be as hardworking as Fred in that role. If only one could put Carrick’s brain in Fred’s head.

Most often than not, we face teams that sit back thus we need midfielders who are adept at picking a pass, retaining possession either by their smart passing and movement or their dribbling abilities...One of McFred should do for majority of our games. When we come up against top opponents, I have no qualms with them starting but not when are expected to dominate a game.

CrystalTiger:
Honestly, when this OGS insists on McFred, I'll wonder if he never played with quality midfielders..

For someone who played with Keane and Scholes, his midfield choice baffles me

Ole is safety first...One would be forgiven for thinking he was a defender like Rudiger in his playing days or didn't play with any quality midfielder as you said but no, he was a fantastic finisher in the box and played with good midfielders...

handelex:
Is he better than Fred or McTominay in that position in the right question?

Sentiments or recency bias aside..

I think he is better than both. I am not asking for both of McFred to be dropped but for one of them to make way for VDB, we need someone in that position who is comfortable on the ball. We can even set up in a 4 3 1 2 formation that allows us have more control in midfield while Bruno plays behind Ronaldo and Greenwood.

afrodoc2:
Amaka tried that diamond field last season but ran away from it at the first sign of trouble.

He didn't even try to find solutions to the issues, he just ran back to his 4 - 2 - 3 - 1...I am very sure if he was Nigerian and he was asked why, you did use pidgin to reply thus, 'if them sack me, na you go feed my family'?

afrodoc2:
The guy played well. He also showed hints of the tenacity that i wasn't sure he had. Matic was quite good too.

Matic was surprisingly mobile and yeah, VDB looked like he is now more confident to express himself...

I'd like to see a diamond midfield with McTom/Matic at the base, Pogba to the left, VDB to the right and Bruno on top with Ronaldo and Greenwood as the too CFs...The fullbacks (Shaw and Dalot) should provide the width while Pogba and VDB support whoever is selected at the base. This will give us the platform to control the midfield whilst not losing out on the attacking contributions of Bruno. As well, Greenwood will be closer to the box.

Going forward, if Pogba and Bruno must play, then VDB must be part of that pivot. I'd prefer he partners McTom...

odizeey:
Putting Balo and Martial in the same sentence is blasphemy.

Sir Balo?

Balotelli might have won a couple of titles with Inter and City but he never really lived up to his huge potential...

Martial doesn't even try, he looks disinterested when he plays...I don't know why someone will be paid so much yet puts in little effort.

CapitalCee:
Even if Greenwood will play CF it will not be this season, with Ronaldo and Cavani. Even though Greenwood is not a natural RW, if you are Solskjaer between him and Sancho who will you start under normal circumstances?

Baba you should have understood my post better seeing that you were also one of those who didn't subscribe to the idea of paying over the odds for Sancho...

Ole fans attributed our struggles to breakdown stubborn defenses to the fact that the Glazers didn't buy Sancho and that all our attack was from the left side of the pitch. With Sancho now here and even for the amount we paid, isn't he supposed to at least have been tried out in that RW position? Remember it is well documented that our RW and DM were areas we need to strengthen and for the RW, Sancho was signed but baba has hardly ever drifted to the right and even then, it does not look like he is better than Greenwood so, what problem have we solved with his signing? An option on the bench? We will accept to sit for a long stretch when Rashford is back and firing?

We all know that when we find our rhythm, Ole will hardly ever want to change things. Time is running out for Sancho...

olabode89:
So if you are the manager you are going to play Sancho ahead of Greenwood at the RW position right now??

For the hype and amount we paid, one would have assumed Sancho will own that position...

Last year, I remember I said Sancho played better from the left. I was of the opinion that Greenwood continues as our RWF, that was at a time ws had that heated debate here over Sancho. Some of us didn't think Sancho was worth the money nor was he an out and out upgrade on our forwards. The records are there...

Expert17, PSG relied on a last minute goal from Hakimi to beat 10 man Metz yesterday...It's the reason no one is talking about the so called farmers league...

One would have thought that with Neymar and Mbappe, they'd have smoked Metz with supposed farmers in their defense...Football no be 1 + 1 = 2...

Meanwhile, I am smiling reading all the post match comments here, we will all arrive at the same conclusion that the only way forward is for Ole to be sacked...

CapitalCee:
Greenwood is playing there. What do you want Ole to do

Then we shouldn't have bought Sancho...It is well documented here that Sancho is the one player that will come in and solve our RW problems...On the LW, Rashford, Lingard, Martial and Pogba can do a job there, no point buying a supposed natural RW and still having Greenwood play there...

Greenwood should play as a CF, the idea of Martial as a CF is already a failed project, Ole should stop forcing it.

In all, the most annoying fact is that Sancho hasn't even featured from the right.

With Rashford coming back, is Ole trying to create or solve a problem?

ChristineC:
unto another Anthony to cheer you up
Elanga has some serious potential.

Elanga is my boy, I hope he gets to the very top...

Oasis007:


You don finally give up? That Cúnt is irredeemable.

I love that guy but at the moment, I don't give a damn...

Oasis007:
Dion Dublin on Anthony Martial: "You see flashes and think it is the start then he doesn't do anything. His body language is horrible to watch, he doesn't want to run around and work hard to be Manchester United number nine."

- BBC

Martial is well on his way to becoming the next Balo...Very anyhow player, he is not serious...

Pep has learnt to rotate, Klopp too but not Ole, he makes too many changes at once...

Abeg how e dey go?

eph12:
A couple of players with a lot to prove. Senior men like Fred can't be on this list

Hehehe You eh!

Players like?

If you mention Martial, I go swear for you...

Elanga should get some minutes...Let's see what Lingard can do playing in Bruno's position...

A front 3 of Sancho - Martial - Greenwood should be enough to see us through...
