Mazraoiu need to come off. Amad in the RWB then Zikzee should come in and link up with Dorgu

Spot on...

Mrviktor:
Dorgu has never crossed any ball that beat the first man

In almost over 1 year with us

The one that Amad missed with the attempted volley, na you cross am?

We just plenty for box dey confuse ourselves...

Shaw was easily beaten and even when he had the chance to position to block that cross, he was jogging like it is a friendly...A very stupid play.

TrebleChamp:
Haa! You are not allowed to want/request your attacking players to score goals ooh, it is seen as an attack on Amorim....

Lol...I no get time for agenda, I go talk wetin I want talk anytime I like...If Sesko fire blank today, watch out for the papers tomorrow...

Jamiuokolaa:
Lool

You even forgot to mention Ekitike, his contemporary in the Bundesliga.

Sesko really needs to get off the mark.

Worse still, he isnt our first choice PK taker - Penalties also help strikers boost confidence and regain form.

It remains to be seen if the manager's current decision to "protect" him would help in the long run

With that hefty price tag, He is really up against it and i can only wish him luck.

I hope he scores today.

The pressure will soon start mounting... Gyokeres is already firing, Woltemade scored on his debut yesterday and Hojlund also scored...The press will soon start.

Mrviktor:
Amorim: "I watched a lot of Premier League games [while I was] in Portugal, and you could feel that United was really [about] transitions. Kobbie was the only guy that calmed down the game.

"Now, we have other players that calm down the game. We play different. And [so] sometimes I expect more from Kobbie Mainoo. I know he can give that. He is really good at controlling the game,
but if he plays as a no.8, he has to reach the box [and be] returning [back to midfield]. Sometimes he has to cover a lot of space.
" #mufc



If this man expects kogba gidi to do box to box then just sell him in January..

Na wetin your brain process abi?

Onkoolos:
But boss I won ask. sey na factory job u dey do??, because Saturday na for flexing for people wey get better job..

Chai!!! Make we better win tomorrow else na our thread go suffer.

odizeey:
Make una dey start Garnacho na. Na small thing dey vex am abeg

He will soon rush to the press...😂

nitrogen:
By the time Onana clocks 32, his collection of blunders would be 2 hours long on YouTube.

😂 😂 😂

Jamiuokolaa:
But but is style of play not important again?

Style of play is important but not when Onana is involved.

odizeey:
Back then, he was blamed for the team conceding shots.

I kept asking if De Gea was why we couldn't keep the ball. They said a ball-playing goalkeeper will help us build from the back...

Onana did us dirty...

MorataFC:
We told them , but they labeled me hater
This was November 2023👇👇👇



This was August 2018. 👇👇👇


Expert17 almost swear for me that day,just because I back de gea.😂

That guy called Expert17 must be Onana's agent or maybe De Gea did something bad to him in his previous life...😂 😂 😂

chrisley024:
Mount back to hospital. Dude should be sold

Meaning it's Mainoo or Bruno in that space against City. Zirkzee is also an option as is Amad.

odizeey:
Your Diogo Costa wey over good why no big club don carry am?

I am not sure that Costa is as good as he is being made to look. PSG, Barcelona, Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool have replaced or made moves to replace their starting goalie and none have looked his way...There must be something about him, either his abilities or his attitude...

KingTom:
He did, but he preferred Diogo Costa over Andre Apere

Well, the decision to spend good money replacing DDG instead of fixing other gaping problems in the team at that time proved to be wrong...

larride:
Yes he wanted DDG gone but warned us very well about Onana.

We really dropped the ball replacing DDG with Onana man

The point is that after that UCL game, everyone raved about the performance of Onana which had more to do with his calmness on the ball...

If a player plays well against a top team, it is only normal to see fans singing praises of the player and calling for his signing. That is not unusual; it's down to the heat of the moment, and that's what happened with Onana...

When the summer transfer window opened, the opinion of everyone here about the replacement of De Gea at that point is well documented here. Some of us were not against his replacement, but we thought he was not the major problem of the team at the time, and it was not good business to spend scarce resources to replace him when they could have been spent to address other areas of the team where we needed reinforcement.

The way things turned out proved that those who preferred that we fix our attack, midfield and defence first before replacing De Gea were spot on...

odizeey:
You can ask them at the shameless people's thread: https://www.nairaland.com/810639/arsenal-fans-thread-finally-reborn

Hehehe...You're a mad man...😂 😂 😂

afrodoc:
Is Dorgu injured or suspended?

I think he is fit...Against Burnley, Amorim opted for Dalot and I feel he may likely retain Dalot in that position...

Lana1:
With Cunha injured, this should be our formation on Sunday. God punish that man if he plays Bruno in midfield just to accommodate Mount

I doubt Amorim will play Shaw as wingback. Expect to see Dalot there while Shaw will take the place of Maguire.

patrickmuf:
DDG is bad at passing and commanding his box, that's something we have known right from when he joined the club especially the aspect that has to do with commanding his box.

Our defenders bar Martinez and Shaw are not very good at retaining possession under pressure and it gets worse when you go higher up the pitch.

We need an upgrade on DDG, Dalot/AWB, as cover for Shaw as Malacia does not look ready, a CM who can easily slot in as a DM, or maybe a DM and a CM, we also need a CF. Seeing that we have limited funds, as the coach which position will you prioritize? I think a percentage of those who are wrongly labeled as DDG fans include people who have looked at the team and think we can do with improvements in the outfield positions as a priority first before we look to replace DDG.

I don't think we will do any better if we spend £50m or more (Which will likely represent a chunk of our transfer budget) to sign a replacement for De Gea compared to improving the outfield positions. If Sheikh Jassim's bid is successful then, we can go all out, and bridge all the gaps we have rightly identified in the team.

Talking about transfers out of the club, I don't blame those who are at the forefront of it because as a big team, we pay more weekly wages meaning if a player does not perform, no top team will go after the player leaving us at the mercy of mid-table teams who simply can not match the wages we pay hence will ask that we reduce the transfer fee or keeping the player and paying his wages until his contract expires. Take Sancho for example, even second-rate teams like Spurs won't pay up to £60m for him looking at the wages he is on thus we have to keep and hope he miraculously improves or sell him for cheap.

They are odd scenarios though where we should have done better like the Lingard case.

When I said we need to prioritise other outfield position rather than goalkeeper...

afrodoc2:
Imagine trying to play out from the back with DDG, shaky shaky Darmian, and Acerbi wey stiff like NEPA pole.

The great Chinua will resurrect to rewrite Things Fall Apart.

Acerbi can pass but DDG will carry him to where he no know.

This is in the same page o!

The reaction in that page was more about how Onana helped Inter beat the City press with his calmness on the ball...

afrodoc:
This man of God warned you.



You told him to calm down.

That na post match commentary, it is not uncommon to see someone making such post.

You can dig up when rumors were rife that we are replacing De Gea. I was very vocal here that we had other areas of the team that needed improvement.

You were one of the promoters of ball playing goalkeeper. You were firmly in the camp that wanted De Gea replaced. I no get shovel but I am sure...

odizeey:
When we said it then, they laughed at us.

I feel it was a conspiracy against United Orchestrated by other clubs to take De Gea out of the league. 🤣🤣

They made a goal keepers become the most important player on the pitch. A goalkeeper dictates game, goalkeeper create goals and so many more trash. Hehehe.

Onana single-handedly ensured we didn't make the knockout stages of the UCL...

Worst goalkeeper in the club's history alongside Taibi...

TrebleChamp:
De Gea prevented United from playing possession football , possession football (though mostly boring) United played under Van Gaal with De Gea in goal. Bald Fraud is already receiving punishment for his crimes, the disgraceful sacking at Leverkusen says a lot...

At that time, I kept saying that De Gea was not the most pressing problem we needed to fix, but Bin Laden deceived many with his ball-playing nonsense...We spent 40m to sign that calamity called Onana...After Sancho, he is the worst transfer ever in our history before you mention Antony...

Bin Laden did this club dirty...He went to Leverkusen and wanted to try the same rubbish, frustrating the players in the club so they can leave, and then he brings in players from his agency, but they saw through his wicked plans...

I hope he fades away forever...

TrebleChamp:
The ball playing goalkeeper De Gea haters wanted

The worst decision ever...Of all the problems in our team, it's a goalkeeper who won the Golden Glove that was the problem...

Gerrard59:
That project has stalled as there has been no approval from the federal government. Udom worked tirelessly for it to be approved, but it has not been approved. I wait to see what Akpabio would do.


The contract for this was awarded to the current governor of Imo. He squandered everything.

Akpabio is the current Senate president, so no excuses.

GEJ was president yet nothing changed. PMB was president and nothing changed.

The truth is simple, those pushing the narrative that development is concentrated in Lagos are doing so to knock the government of the day but I do not buy into that narrative. When the state government are serious, they'll get the FG to support what they want.

blowjohn:
Why?

Not an oil producing state right now...

VDM should consult people with knowledge about particular subjects before delving into things he does not understand.

In the South-South/South East, Akwa Ibom is pushing to have a seaport, Rivers, Cross River and Anambra (Onitsha)...All these states can easily put resources together to have a world-class international seaport in the region, but they're working independently...If the FG chooses a state to focus on, the rest will cry of marginalisation...Of the lot, Akwa Ibom and Rivers can fund the dredging of their ports but the Governors are not serious.

The money borrowed to build Tinapa in Calabar would have completely funded the dredging of Calabar ports.

The Governors get away with too much in this country.

blowjohn:
Edo, cross river, akwaibom, bayelsa,port Harcourt, Delta states.


Those states should all have been mini Californias with all the monies they get.

Blame the governors

Remove Cross River from that list.

Gucciboy:
What did he do?

Went talked about his relationship with the owner a week or two ago...You don't go to the media talking about how your relationship with your boss has broken down...
