England need more pace up front...Rashford and Sancho should come in...

James and back passes, he should carry the ball forward more...

Havertz10:
I know what he can do, I look for other things, creative things that players in his role do well, it's that aspect that doesn't make him a very good player

He gives 6 everytime, elite players give 8 or 9 self in most games, they overpower the opponents physically and intellectually, mount is just a hard worker doing enough to please people that are sentimental

You can't watch a game and agree that mount won this game single handedly like hazard, he is doing his best cause plenty people doubt him, that means that he doesn't have gears to enter 8 or 9 level of performance, average player

Why are you comparing Mount to Hazard? What is Sterling and Foden doing? How you manage to dump the burden of creating chances on the shoulders of Mount and Mount only is beyond me...

Mount has produced 2 very good passes which has been wasted but then, you'd never see it...

Sterling dey mess up good passes...

Havertz10:
I don't understand how people can't see how mediocre Mason mount is

I no understand at all, we humans are funny beings

Are you sure you're watching the game?

adebayo201:
Patrickmuf... Nah you get this mail.

Most South American nations are very weak at the moment, so Brazil can field even you and still win comfortably...

Talking about Martial, he was out injured for a long stretch and prior to that was off form thus it was only reasonable for the French coach to drop him, it's a no-brainer unless you just want to troll..

That Damsgaard boy worry Belgium yesterday sha...I will watch out for him going forward...

Oasis007:
I said Clubs' Owners. He's out of job now, how many Clubs have reached out to him?

Which top club is looking for a coach? You want him to join teams like Everton? Fiorentina?

Which top job is available at the moment?

Oasis007:
Conte..... yes. Zizou...... jury is still on him. Most Clubs Owners do no trust him yet. Tactically is in the same League with Pep and Co.... we'll know when he manages another Club.

I don't agree...It was during his second spell at Madrid that I knew Zidane isn't overrated...He won the league with a struggling Madrid team, that was the turning point for me, I accepted he was right up there. He had shrugged off that Ronaldo narrative...

Oasis007:
..... bur Mou did nau. Even Ancelotti accepted Everton Job.

Conte and Zidane are at the peak of their powers...

Oasis007:
Son will be stupid, visionless to sign new Deal at Spurs. Gattuso? Levy sees Conte, Zizou yet he's going for an Italian OGS?

Trust Kane to leave for sure this TW. Do we need a Striker? If we get rid of Martial permanently for at least £50m, we can go for Kane at £100m.

Between Kane and Son? I prefer we get Son.

You think Conte/Zidane will join Spurs? Lol

Ole Gollum is a bastard for selling lukaku.

Kikiki No be our thread be this o!

donstan18:
Need best player? From where? How about making yours the best?

Who was Dani Alves before Barcelona signed him from Sevilla? Barcelona, especially Pep brought out the best in him.

If you truly care for Chelsea enough to suggest them flushing developing players out, Fraudvertz should top your list.

You can’t be dropping epistle making excuses for him, talking about giving him time and at the same time hating on English player by wanting them out for your assumed elite players.

Start advocating for the flushing of Fraudvertz if you really want Chelsea to stop using developing players. Let your truth not be selective.

If you don't follow football in general away from Chelsea, others do, Dani Alves was one of the best players in Sevilla and he won the UEFA Cup with them...

eph12:
Patrick this one no make sense. How many of those passes did they make anything out of yesterday? One would think France score many goals yesterday or the players made something out of those passes every time

If you see Mbappe making a run and on one side, you see Martial/Rashford, who will you rather pass to?

Kingsbridge:
nothing to watch out oga.
Coke will do no shit take it to your bank.

k

Kingsbridge:
UEFA will do shit, same with coke they can't do shit.
Any negative response will affect their stock further, UEFA will always try to protect their players especially someone who's image right is a big brand to them.
UEFA after super league threat still registered the founding clubs for next competition, if you no sabi then no type.
Coke is not the only sponsor neither are they the major sponsor of UEFA 2020

If that report is correct, then watchout...

hensben:
It doesn’t work that way bro. Pogba have it in mind to leave but then again his emotion towards the club still holding him.

I don't understand what you mean...

Onepeople:
I see arrogancy, I see pride, I see pomposity from a man who should have picked the water and move on with his life. Most of the people supporting him might not know that coca cola are one of the sponsors of the EURO tournament. I expect a law suit

Most Nigerians just jump on a subject they know next to nothing about and start yarning dust...They say he is a brand and Coca-Cola are trying to get endorsement off him but if they were smart, they'd know Coca-Cola are official partners of UEFA and their products are on display in each presser but no other player or coach was so irrational to do such...

Ask them if Ronaldo isn't marketing the company that bottled that water according to their warped logic and see them run away...

See comments na...So,the water just found its way to the bottle? Is he signed to the company that bottled that water? Una go just dey talk rubbish with pride..

So many clueless folks on Nairaland...Coca-Cola are sponsors of the Euros, they can easily sue UEFA who will inturn discipline Ronaldo and then his fan boys will start to cry fowl...If you don't drink Coca-Cola products, then drink the water and do less of the unnecessary antics...

There really was no need for what he did, if I were Coca-Cola management, UEFA and Ronaldo will get it hot from us...You don't de-market a brand like that especially as they're official partners of UEFA.

LostMyZeal:
I see you've been talking about having a strong bench and all. While that's good, honestly don't see the need to keep unserious and unreliable players in the team tho.

As for Pogba, he's marketing himself at the Euros currently, so there's no need keeping him to wait for him to improve. I'm quite sure that after putting up good performances at the Euros, his next step would be to ask for huge wages during contract negotiations.


In Pogba, we have a potential Alexis Sanchez situation ooh

As long as he has one year left, Potential suitors will feel they shouldn't pay over the odds...I won't be surprised if the likes of Juventus are not already in his ears looking to strike a deal to sign him on a bosman...

Martial's case is his form this past season, no team will pay us close to what we got him for so, it is only logical that we keep him for another season in hope that he rediscovers his form and then we can get the big boys looking his way again...

afrodoc2:
You are right though to an extent. If Martial goes i expect another forward apart from Sancho to come in.........but don't rule out a Greenwood like progression in Hannibal, allowing Pogba to play that left side on a more regular basis OR even allowing Hannibal himself to play that left sided when needed. Another player that might make a big step is Amad.

There is also the fact that all though Sancho has played most of his Dortmund career on the right he is as good if not better on the left. Also even if we add only Sancho to that attack we might get a rested Rashford and a rested and improved Greenwood, in addition to either Hannibal or Amad stepping up.

Central midfield was really where we suffered last season, and will continue to suffer if we don't make changes there.

Your points are good but I don't want any youngster feeling too much pressure to perform...

LostMyZeal:
I'm surprised you said the bold oh

Martial was steadily dropping stinkers game after game even before his injury.

So when he got injured, there actually wasn't much difference tbh

Infact a lot of fans wondered what was the rationale behind benching Cavani for that lazy glove-wearing clown forming Berbatov.


If not for Martial's injury, I'm sure that stupid Ole for no look Cavani direction


It's a wonder that Martial and Pogba can rake in over 120 mil but the club never serious to sell.

Now, with that kinda amount we can get at least 3 serious players.

Chairman Martial at his worst is better than James or Mata ATM...We are talking about building a strong bench but you want the club to do away with some of our most talented players. If they were ready-made replacements, I wouldn't mind but there isn't and I don't trust the club to sign adequate replacement should we lose Martial.

Talking about transfer fees, Pogba has 1 year left on his contract so, no club will pay outrageous fees for him unless he extends and Martial coming off such disastrous season, you'd be lucky to see a team willing to offer 35m for his services...The way to go is to extend Pogba's contract so that even if he decides to leave in the near future we will make profit off his sale and keep Martial for another season in hope that rediscovers his form and then look to sell him still at a profit...Buying players for huge sums and selling them at a loss is not the way to go, certainly not now...

So what next?

The reason why people won't stop stealing is that when you are caught, you return whatever it is you can return and normal life continues...In fact, the keep it secret like this case, no name mentioned, no follow-up charges...When they start recovering and sending people to long term jail terms, possibly life imprisonment, only then will people begin to sit up...

I think one player we need to start talking about is Bruno, away from the goals and assist, he needs to influence the play more...

Watching Portugal yesterday, he kept on leaving his attacking midfield role to go in search of a goal leaving Pereira and Carvalho in midfield, two players who are more renowned for their defensive contribution thus Portugal found it hard to breakdown Hungary but as soon as he stepped back in that AM space, he was able to unlock the defense of Hungary via a nice pass to Rafa Silva...As much as I acknowledge his goal contribution, I'd like to see him play more as an AMF because he has the eye for the pass...

Let's not just talk about Pogba and his performance for France, let's talk about the players they have up front. As a midfielder, if you trust your strikers, you'll not hesitate to find them when you have the ball. Imagine Pogba seeing Cavani making a run with too defenders close to him, he'll definitely think twice about the pass because Cavani doesn't have the legs...If it's Rashford, he'd be certain he won't make anything out of the pass...

Pogba trust Mbappe and that's why he never hesitates to find him...

As others have posted another area we need to strengthen is the midfield (defensive midfield), Kante did the job of Mcfred whilst Rabiot provide support when needed whilst helping to carry the ball forward...Ole should fix our midfield if he is serious...

kendrick9:
He's no Trent.
But yeah he's much better as a midfielder

Kimmich is light years ahead of Trent...

raumdeuter:
Hummels deliver

Hehehe Airmark is somewhere praying Rudiger does something stupid...Una two eh!

Ibime:
Hummels own goal

Airmark in the mud

Raumdeuter 1 - 0 Airmark

Raumdeuter watching Hummels

Airmark watching Rudiger

The rest of us watching France vs Germany...

Oasis007:


Elanga dey nau. If Rashford is out, we can line up Sancho - Greenwood - Amad or Sancho - Cavani - Greenwood.

I don even forget Amad...

afrodoc2:
Sancho is likely coming. Mata and James issue is spiritual so i can't comment on it.

Sancho is not enough. Signing Sancho and losing Martial is strengthening our starting 11 but doing little to improve the bench as an injury to one of our starters will see the one good attacker on the bench replacing him and then we are left with no other solid bench option but James/Mata...I don't want that for another season o!
