Pogba should've passed back to Rashford...

chrisley024:
But he plays same role as Bruno

Not really, he comes in from the left side of attack most times...Grealish - Bruno - Rashford behind Martial/Greenwood

afrodoc2:

Grealish is the truth...

Let's go all out for him...

That Rashford winner reminds me of a late winner I witnessed live in Old Trafford at 13 years old. 10 years later and it’s the same effort, same goal, same opponent, same minute and same outcome. The yanited way 👍🏼🇾🇪#MUFC #MUNWOL pic.twitter.com/8WfWkZSjUL

Social media is just too wonderful, you'll definitely see someone who will type and post wetin dey your mind and even express it better.
Leyqute oil dey your head. Cautious optimism ain't no mediocrity.

We know those who are cautiously optimistic, those who are optimistic, those who are protecting their MCM and those who irrespective of the performance want Ole out...

Leyqute:
Exactly.

However, I’m not 100% sold on squad depth. We are way better than where we are last season though.

Cavani can get injured at any time. And Bruno is involved in almost all goals. If he’s out of the picture na problem be that for us. Can’t play Pogba as AM. Or Mata. Or even VDB.

We need others to step up more often.

VDB has played that Bruno position in cup games this season more than once and it wasn’t good. Bruno still had to come on and provide the goal.

Ole needs to still play some games without Bruno this season, like you rightly said. We shouldn’t build the team around one player. Everyone needs to step up.

And yeah. We need a trophy this season. May not be the league but other trophies dey. We beat City in the Carabao cup and we are one step closer.

Ole need to trust those on the bench...I also feel he needs to fashion out a formation different from 4-2-3-1 when Bruno isn't available as he seems to be the only one that can play that AMF role to perfection...Maybe, a 4-3-3 with VDB and Pogba tasked to play as box to box CMs with Matic at the base...

I am looking forward to the Caraboa cup where I hope to see a bit of Amad and Facundo...If any of them comes in and does well, it will be a big plus...

Also, I am optimistic that Martial and Greenwood will pick up soon and when that happens, it'll be a big plus for us...In all, it's not like we have been at our best all season yet we are still holding our own so, whilst we expect Liverpool and Man City to kick on at some point, we shouldn't rule out the possibility of us also playing better and winning games comfortably...

The records shows that Liverpool have been a point better than us since February, that like 11 months of good form...I am optimistic...

Leyqute:
About the title race thingy. I’m not saying United can’t win it or can’t mount a challenge, I’m just saying that development is more important than that at the moment. We should focus more on finding more ways to score and winning matches (even when we are not playing well) without looking at other teams.

Our attackers need to be more clinical. There will be matches where we’ll get one or 2 chances and if Maetial and Rashford don’t score them, na draw soup be that.

I’m sure Rashford, in the Wolves game, was just waiting for that one more chance to hit the target. And he did it. Luckily for him it went in. Bruno probably knew this, that’s why he sent that pass to him without hesitation.

That’s an improvement from before.

Amaka himself and his subordinates need to chop sense. No stupid taktiks again. Better rotation and managing of the squad. Healthy competition and inspiration too.

Now, if this gives us the trophy that’s fine. If it doesn’t, it’s also fine. But at least next season we have to be among the contenders- even if Liverpool and City are strong and have a healthy squad . We’ll just need one or two additions to the team.

We have outperformed everybody this year apart from Liverpool, which is a good sign. But I’m not deceived or carried away. I know Amaka and I know his players. They can still disappoint. They are improving but disappointment still fit happen.

I just want an 80+ points season and a title challenge at least next season. Ole may be the person to make us be contenders but it’s unlikely he’ll be the one to make us serial champions. Waiting on that one sha.

The league was won with 90+ points in the last 2 seasons (doesn’t mean it will be won wirh 90 points this season). Liverpool, although they dropped points in the last few games, can still go on a long winning run. They did it last season and the season before that. They’ve done it before. It won’t be outrageous to say they can do it again. We cannot say that about our team and coach. We are inconsistent. We have to take it one game at a time.

This is not to say that we cannot win the league this season or at least be a contender. I’m just not that sold on this team and club at the moment. You can have a different opinion and that’s fine.

Plus it’s still freaking early. We’re potentially level on points with the league toppers after 17 games and all these talks don start.

Like Rashford and Ole said weeks ago, let’s see how we are later on and we’ll see where we stand.

But this shouldn’t stop you, capitalcee and others from dreaming. We seem to be on the way back to the top and it feels good. If we don’t get there this season we have to get there next season.

You have spoken well...

I think we have a relatively large squad that can deal with fatigue and injuries better than most of our rivals if Ole gets it right...

I will like Ole to use some of these cup competition to try out a system excluding Bruno just so we are prepared in any case he picks up a knock.

In all, I hope we put up a good fight for the title and win at least one cup competition just to boost the overall confidence of the team...

Leyqute:
Patrickmufc I was banned by the anti spam bot yesterday so I couldn’t continue the discussion.

And Afrodoc is wrong when he said I am trying to prevent myself from being disappointed by Amaka.

I know this team and their coach. I know they are good (both of them) but they aren’t the finished product. Yet.

Like how OGS singlehandedly sent us out of the UCL. 2 games, 1 point required but he managed to lose both games by doing braggadocio. His approach for both games were wrong and although some players should’ve done better, the fault is majorly his.

The players sef get their own. Rashford , despite scoring goals here and there still makes an awful lot of bad decisions. Martial is ...Martial. Greenwood is misfiring and Cavani is not the young vibrant killer that we know. Even Fred sef get him many faults wirh his bebeto behavior. VDB get him own one-way football. And a should I talk about Magwaya and AWB? Dan James? OluwaPogba? Etc etc. Bruno is the only one I can absolve atm and he sef Dey always Dey hasty to pass the ball to someone running into a wall sometimes.

That Sevilla game, OGS didn’t do many things wrong. The attackers fvcked that one up.

I Dey always yab each player here when they fvck up on Matchdays. And I don’t spare OGS sef. He can be incompetent and annoying at times.

It seems most fans forget the bad times during the good times, and the good times during a bad patch. So they demand for more or that someone be sacked. Me sef don do am, not gonna lie.

I thought as much...

I know we have our faults but our renewed believe has more to do with our struggling rivals. Since it's a general consensus that this team needs a trophy to kick on, I rather we take advantage of this window presented by the poor form of our rivals...

Hopefully Amad and Facundo comes through in January and we kick on...

Mrviktor:
We all forget the Istanbul and lipzig collapse so soon

Cup competition...Of course we will drop points at some point just as our rivals will also drop points...The key word is consistency over a stretch...

Beorn:
You're calling a troll a Man Utd fan?

Lol...

postdigger:
He has old monikers?

Most definitely...

Trevor012:
Capitalcee has logged into his patrickmuf account. Carry on bruv

Lol you're who you are, a clown...I hope you get paid for it...

Trevor012:
when we win he is not happy, he will curse and insult Bruno and Rashford for scoring.

Cc Postdigger please go through my post and expose me where I did the above as claimed by the ever stupid capitalcee .
