Who assisted the goal?
I'll give more kudos to Ederson and Zichenko.

Mahrez scores but they want to tell us KDB has been the most important player for City. E go hard for City to produce world best.

Oga SUCCESSFUL for a club like united is the LEAGUE and the UCL, not baby cups, if ole goes on to win the Yoruba league I will celebrate it, but that doesn't mean he was SUCCESSFUL as a UNITED Manager.

In my books, NONE of the managers post Ferguson have been SUCCESSFUL.
When I said the same thing, some of your folks pointed to our league positions over the past couple of years in a bid to remind me that we're not a top team anymore...This thing is two way, you can easily argue for or against and that's why I respect Doc and others who hold a neutral POV.

Just watched highlight of that game against City where we were 2 goals down but came back to win...

Big props to Sanchez and Pogba...

Sanchez for that performance alone earned my support just like Owen for that last minute winner...

He plays for RB Leipzig. Here is a short video about how he plays.

RB Leipzig player. Fractured his ankle last year and has not played since.

I would pass on that one. Let us see how he plays next season first.

The main reason I have not mentioned Phillips is because of his Leeds background, otherwise he has all the tools needed.

Ndidi’s passing might not be the best but he makes up for it in terms of defensive solidity, and he can take better care of of the ball on the half turn than McFred.

Bissouma is also in that Ndidi style but maybe a little defensive solidity and a little more technique.

They also cover ground quite well which is not something one can say about Rice IMO.
Laimer has the physique and positional awareness from what I saw on YouTube but as you pointed out, his injury means he is ruled out.

I am not sold out on Rice, West Ham are very compact so even Fred will look good in that set up and the fact he has Soucek beside him points to the fact that he can't shield the back 4 alone. He is slow too.

Ndidi or Bissouma is best fit at the moment.

SyIvalord:
Philips is very good. He is very press resistant, can receive the ball on the half turn and find a forward pass, had excellent passing range, has good positional awareness. He can drop in the middle or beside the CBs to create a back 3 whilst allowing the fullbacks to push up, similar to Matic. His ability to progress the ball efficiently also mean Pogba and Bruno won’t have to drop deep too often to get on the ball. Pogba can play in his preferred LCM which obviously gives us more attacking threat. Pogba can also make those late runs into the box which can be very devastating for opponents. But like you said, Kalvin is a boyhood Leeds fan and it will be extremely difficult to pry him away from them. Only way we get him is if they are willing to sell and he actually wants to do more in his career trophy wise. Even at that, he may prefer to go to other big clubs rather than Leeds’ biggest rival.

Another player we can get that will give us similar or even better qualities than what Kalvin will give is Konrad Laimer. He is technically superior to Kalvin, he has an excellent footballing brain. He knows how to work in and out of space and his positioning and touches ensure that he gets extra time on the ball. His defensive awareness, tackling are also very good. He can play as a lone DM or in a two man midfield and he is also quite creative from deep. Also, he is a lot more obtainable than Phillips.

Ndidi is in a world of his own when it comes to shielding the defence. He is up there alone on the top left. His defensive stats are really impressive.

I hope we are not even looking at rice. Buying him will be a mistake. I don’t trust his passing and he looks like he will be overrun every time we face a counter attack. I will even prefer Bissouma over Rice.
Who's this Konrad Laimer?

Fred is a capable passer, but he is just damn inconsistent at it.

With pass masters like Modric, 8 times out of 10, you know what you’re buying when you expect them to make a pass.

With Fred, you need to hold the rosary and chant, “Our Father”.

Before they said Ole cannot get past semi final matches. Now that it is very likely he is getting to the finals, they change their talk to only the UCL and EPL is important. This is a proactive defence so that they can have something to hang on to keep their agenda going throughout the Summer holiday
Baba die this talk, na it dey bring wahala here...You have to read back a couple of pages to understand why some folks said that.

See why I don't want to engage you, you got childish emotions fam.

Is this how complain looks like to you?





And then you turn around and said


Some childish shiit if you ask me.

Peace.
You want me to dig out your post where you and other Ole fans called him stupid, clueless and all sort of names? All that is reactionary and it's expected...We were losing 1vs 2 in a semi final and you expect me to keep my cool especially after after recent failures in semi finals? Reason am na!

I understand you are still pained after our last exchange here but that's behind me, move on...

Do you see anyone disparaging Ole here after the game? I think not. So, does that not tell you that it's all about performance for the fans? Go to Twitter and check the reaction after that first half and you'd see it's only normal, even Bruno's post that was shared here tells you the players know that was a terrible first half result one that might have seen many fans turn off their TVs...

Scared to quote you?

No bro, I can't keep up with your childish emotions, its better I let you be.

Try and work on them.
You are very funny, you complain about Ole during games but when others do, you feel right to troll them...Does it make any sense to you? I have seen folks who act like they love Ole more than themselves abuse him when he gets it wrong especially after we were dumped out of the UCL, does it make them haters? No!

Manchester United fans from time past come here to drop their opinions during games and most of it is in line with how we are performing during the said game. It's only now where we have some of you who will come here to say people who voiced out their displeasure of our play during any stage of the game is a hater...Like how exactly? Do you guys want these board to be deserted during our matches only for us to come back after the game? Now, tell me who is childish between honest fans and those who are too scared to drop their opinions for fear of what others will say?

This is the summary of it, one even said that the oleinners will now show if we mistakenly edge it by a penalty or deflected goal.

Like how will you want your team to loose to prove a point?
I like the fact that you're now scared of quoting me directly...Comprehension should be taught here because some of you struggle to grasp simple things...

You are way too intelligent for some of this gaffes.

Ole didn't make tactical changes or bring on any player after half time and the team came back to blow away Roma. How come you praise the players for positive outcomes and berate Ole for negatives.

Was it Ole that told Fred to not read the run of Mhki for the second goal or Shaw that allowed Dzeko to bully and get in front of him for that same goal. Was it Ole that told Pogba to raise his hands when trying to prevent a cross in the boxhuh??
But you're blaming the players here...If your position was right, no coach would be fired because it's the players that take to the field or do you think Chris Wilder prepares his team to lose games?

Roma isn't vastly inferior though, we might not like them[McFred] but they get the job done most often than not. Would you have preferred Matic as a lone DM tonight, if it backfired you'll still call Ole clueless.

What I'm yet to understand is how abusing someone translates to demanding he wins trophies.
Anything but McFred against inferior opponents...

Pray tell Patrick, how is calling a manager clueless, useless and a bottler at half time translate to demanding he wins a trophy?

So if your Popsman demands something from you he'll start abusing you verbally?
Leave my popsman out of it...That man fit abuse you for market if you fail any exam...

I called Ole clueless for starting McFred, I don't like those guys especially against vastly inferior sides.

Lol so Alabi can be realistic in your eyes now? cheesy

E be things.
I have seen them complain when we are doing poorly in-games but some of you think everyone that criticizes Ole and his selection as haters which isn't true...I dare say most of you aren't even as passionate as those you think want the failure of the team.

One section of the fan base think the team is good enough to win trophies and are demanding same from the manager but most of those who think otherwise think those in the other camp are haters...Wetin Coogar no go see for exile...

Actually you're the bigger joke, game never finish people don dey run mouth anyhow angry

I guess every game ends after first half.
Abeg shift make I see realistic folks...

Let me tell you something for free, that you see fans complaining when a manager gets it wrong doesn't mean they're haters. I saw KingAlabi, Lana1 and GloryIsaac complain of McFred and Ole's decision not to make immediate subs as the 2nd half began, it doesn't mean they hate Ole but they only dropped their opinions based on what they felt was wrong at the time, are they haters? Hell no!

My reasons are simple. Lewandowski has better stats than him. It's obvious na. Lewy will win Bundesliga. Messi has won Copa del Rey. La Liga has slipped away.

Mbappe has better stats.

We still have potential UCL winners. De bruyne who has won EPL, capital one. Baba. E go hard Messi. No hard feelings
Stats alone doesn't cut it especially when your competitors themselves have very good stats. Trophies will count in such scenario and trust me, Bayern and PSG players are at a disadvantage...

De Bruyne? Why not Mahrez or Gundogan? Has De Bruyne really bested them this season?

He's the most useless Manager on Earth. He keeps jinxing it with panic mode anytime we are Semi. Must the Fóol be defensive minded at every Semi Final? McFred won't offer you more than average defence and poor attack.

It's a pity the Fóol is gonna last longer than we could ever Imagine. He's using our Emotions to learning on the Job.
His fans are waiting silently to come online once we turn things around prolly through a Penalty or a lucky deflection forgetting that we were piss poor throughout.
