An injury to either Kane or Son or both will derail Tottenham season

Just like an injury to Bruno will see us playing cricket rather than football...

Ex-big team getting battered...

Will I ever get over our loss to Arsenal?

melodyogonna:
How did the pattern improve? We're still starting our press near the halfway line, wait for counters, and try to get the ball to the no.10 as much as possible.

Bet we would still be binary FC if Perraira or Lingard was still playing the 10 position.

Thinking back, we suffered in the hands of Perraira sha, tf

In a different context, at some point last season Fred was playing accurate passes in-between opponent lines and making use of his low gravity, doesn't do that these days, wonder if anyone else noticed.

You're riggt. There was a stretch in the first half of last season where we had Fred as our only fit CM...I have said it before that the return of Pogba, Martial, Rashford as well as Ole trusting Greenwood and of course the signing of Bruno made us improve...

With Pereira, Lingard and James in the starting eleven, every team will struggle...

eph12:
LOL we have seen Pogba and Bruno together multiple times before o

Pogba only started balling after his goal...It's a no brainer that it lifted his confidence...

The guy you quoted prolly didn't watch the many other games they played together yet we were dominated...


As an aside, Benrahman looks like a very good player, one that thrives even in tight spaces.

Ole has to find a way to get the team playing with urgency...On a bad day, we would have been 3 goals down going into the second half and that would've been game over. I reckon the team that started was good enough to take the game to West Ham but no, they played like complwte strangers and that's a big problem because Bruno can't possibly play every game lest he breaks down at the business end of the season...

I will like to see our players hold onto the ball a lot less, VDB gives a lot of joy in this regard.

Leipzig up next and with Cavani and Martial (Good for us) likely to miss out, it looks like we will revert to a diamond formation with Mctominay at the base, Pogba on the left, VDB on the right and Bruno at the top of the diamond...Hopefully we see more of that 2nd half performance going forward...#GGMU

Why is football so difficult for us to play?

We should be playing better with the quality of players in our ranks...

Elrony and Patrickmuf self dey.

Martial dey mess up...

Essien started celebrating immediately the ball left his boots...

Tonylyte:
A swift run for APC Joe Agi there. I know pretty well that things will go this way. If Joe doesn't win at the pool, he will win at the court. This is the first time I will vote an APC flagbearer in an election. Stephen Ode is like a pawn on a chessboard. Ayade is only parading him to gain his ways into the senate house after his tenure as a governor may have elapsed. We the northern cross riverians are not oblivious about things.

Spot on...

larride:
We just need a draw in Germany.

I know we need a draw but I don't trust this team...

Who exactly is the PDP candidate for Cross River North Senatorial election, Stephen Odey or Jarigbe Agom?

KingAlabi:
Why being so pessimistic

If you have followed United since Ole took charge, you won't call me a pessimist...

KingAlabi:
I am a united fan that gives credit where it is due

Don't turn down that road abeg of olein fans and oleout abeg, we want what is best for the club

Ole fvck up I go slate am steady, but when he does something right give him credit

If he likes let him win all the away games, as long as he keeps fumbling at home, he'll get the stick...We are not West Brom or West Ham that will celebrate rubbish...You need to be consistent through the course of the season to stand a chance at winning a trophy so this your away record you're pushing means nothing if we keep losing at home...

KingAlabi:
I wasn't happy either with rashford played out position

But martial was best choice out of the rest currently

My anger with ole is letting martial stay on that pitch after half time

For the 4-4-2 diamond

How has it worked for us ?

It failed because of a certain Pogba and Martial who are lazy...Play McTominay, Fred, VDB and Bruno with Rashford and Cavani up front and see how different we will look compared to having those two lazy French boys in the starting 11..

KingAlabi:
Our away form is pretty consistent since January

Emphasis on the January

How more sign of future consistency do you want?

If ole fvck up make Dem sack am

But give credit when it is due

Who questioned our away form? I am only saying by the time we fix our home form, we will start having problems away from home...It's been the case with Ole.

KingAlabi:
Solskjær: "We spoke about it [Fred being on a yellow card] at half-time, just be sensible, and he was, he played well. But when you see the decision the referee made, you look back and say 'maybe you should've [taken him off]

Ole took a gamble and it didn't pay off hope he has learnt

Baba you be strong Ole fan, own up to it...If Ole wants to learn at the job, Manchester United is not the place for him...

KingAlabi:
What aspect of greenwood isn't in form don't you understand

Between an off form martial and greenwood

Who would you use

For your second instance

We haven't tried that before

Why gamble it against PSG

I really don't understand you...

So, you rather Rashford be played out of position to accommodate Martial? If yes, you should stop complaining about the guy...

About Greenwood, how many games has he played this season? Martial is worst than Greenwood abeg...

When we beat PSG in Paris, wasn't it Rashford and Martial in front? Must we play 3 strikers to be effective?

Why can't Ole play Rashford and Cavani up front and reserve a spot for VDB?

KingAlabi:
Only if our home form can be on par with our away form

And when we fix our home form, we will start struggling on the road again...It's never 100 percent with Ole...

KingAlabi:
Martial didn't start as a CF na
Rather as a winger

Where did lingard mostly play under Mourinho?

Do you rather start ighalo on the wings? Just to bench martial.

I not justifying why martial started but that apart from rashford who also started who can play that LW better than martial ?

Play Rashford on the LWF and play Greenwood on the right or better still, play Bruno slightly out wide on the right with VDB playing in front of Fred and McTominay...

KingAlabi:
Will you play lingard against PSG because ole kept him and didn't sell him in the summer.

Think am well before you talk am

Will you play Vasquez ahead of Bale?

The Lingard comparison doesn't make sense because Lingard is an AMF and in his Position you have Bruno, VDB, Mata and even Pogba who are better and playing better than him...

Martial has been off form since the start of the season, we have other forwards who are not having a look in for whatsoever reason...

Let me get one thing clear, are you justifying the inclusion of Martial in our starting 11?

KingAlabi:
When degae was playing bad last season to the extent people wanted Romero to start ahead of him, why didn't we see it as we didn't have a better option

Your mentioning ighalo ?

Na wa

How good has greenwood form being

Make we talk truth jare

Martial hasn't been good as CF, when last did he play there?

Do you believe it was sickness that really made ole bench him against Southampton?

I find it difficult to understand you...

People are angry at Ole for continuously fielding an out of form player...Even you sef dey vex for Martial but when we asked that Ole give other players the opportunity to show what they can do, you start complaining that they are not good enough in a bit to shield Ole from criticizing for picking underperforming players...

Is it me that asked for Ighalo's stay to be extended? Nope...It's Ole so why doesn't he trust a player he convinced to stay?

If na your company, will you be happy to see your manager hire a staff you pay for doing nothing?

CapitalCee:
Nani you are now my guy.

WIN
LOSE
DRAW
WIN TROPHY, WIN ANYTHING.


#OLEOUT

Hahaha This one is funny, very funny...

CapitalCee:
With Ole We will always go toe to toe. But win kwanu mba. Its crystal clear that Ole is one of the worst managers in rhe league.

Spot on...

KingAlabi:
What are you saying sef

You defend your player regardless...Suarez was defended by Pool even when everyone knew he was wrong...

As a captain, you stand by your team mates...

KingAlabi:
How long was kepa played before he started chopping bench?

Fun fact martial wasn't played as a CF yesterday?

Do you know why?

Chelsea didn't have a better option last season that's why Kepa was played...Since Mendy was signed, how many games has Kepa played?

We have Cavani, Rashford, Greenwood and Ighalo but no, Martial must start...Rashford was even played out of position just to accommodate. Martial yesterday yet he had a better game...

KingAlabi:
Fred tackle was clean and didn't deserve a second yellow, but na fair play because he already deserved a red in that first half, I blame ole for no taking him off

He took out the guy even if he got the ball...

After his first yellow, he stamped on Paredes but he was lucky the ref gave the free kick the other way...Ole messed up for not taking him off...

KingAlabi:
Oga there is nothing wrong with that

Ole said it also?

Why una wan find agenda when agenda no dey

Abi na only that him comment him talk?

When next our player is red carded in a similar scenario, don't complain...

odizeey:
Shey Because he is paid he should play with bad form? Men this your Logic needs Fruity Loops

Zidane benched Bale, Kepa is chopping bench, even Firmino is closer to the bench now but no, because Martial is being paid he must play...Shey them no dey pay Kepa again?

Trevor012:
Why will he twerk a game plan that was working perfectly? How many reckless challenges did Fred commit in the 2nd half even the yellow card he received was a perfect tackle. Fred hardly gets yellow carded In matches so stop all these reckless yarns.

Did you watch the game at all? He received a yellow for a perfect tackle? OMG! I should have known better...

Some arguments are not worth the stress...

odizeey:
It's just funny. I know nothing consistent can come from this man. Even if we get to the next stage, we'll get humiliated.

No one can tell me we don't have good players on this team. A good coach will utilize Greenwood to the core. We are seeing how things are going with him now.

No one should say we don't have good players. That's an old story.

We have a very good team on one hand that can go toe-to-toe with any other team but then again, we have one of the worst coaches around...
