I noticed that when James came on yesterday, he did not hug the touch line, baba was driving infield with the ball.

Another 5th July.. another birthday to celebrate for me

Happy birthday and best wishes bro...

Chelsea have Crystal palace and Sheffield next, two winnable games, Leicester will falter against Arsenal and Sheffield united. If we play well against aston villa and Southampton, we will be in that fourth position..

Those games are a potential banana peel for Chelsea...Also, I hope Liverpool go all out to reach or break the 100 pts record of City, that way, I see them going all out at Anfield vs Chelsea.

The lingering faith of City should see teams hustling to make that 5th spot. If Wolves are still in with a chance, that last game at Stamford Bridge will be a cracker.

As for Leicester City, I don't see them beating a rejuvenated Arsenal at the Emirates. Even Spurs should be able to take points off them.

Roland17:
You are welcome, you are like the one grateful leper amongst the other scummies!!!.

Rubbish!!! Dream ko, nightmare ni!!!!!

Awon Werey!! They tink dey are doing me!!!

Hehehe slim chance that 5th spot you know. You have Leicester visiting soon, another favor should suffice but this time, for both of us.

Roland17, dare to dream...Remember you were scared of the possible outcome today. Thanks for the favor tho.

Leyqute:
Fred didn’t really play well. He was all over the place and couldn’t cool things down. He still got dribbled needlessly and found it a bit hard recycling possession.

Baba Fred did well when he came on...

handelex:
The positive energy in this our thread nowadays especially on match days is something else and it's directly traceable to Bruno and Greenwood. Long may it continue.

You can't discount the effort of Wan-Bissaka, Pogba, Martial (Martial fc here) and Matic...They've all been excellent.

elampiro:
Today, I saw how our fullbacks have really improved. Lol

What I see is the fact that we have a better attack. Conceding a goal.is no longer a big deal because defence must make mistakes. Even before Bruno came, we always get better results with Rashford and Martial fit together. Now we have Greenwood instead of James. We have Bruno instead of Lingard/Mata. Matic, Pogba and McTominay all back from injuries.

The whole of our defence line are playing exactly as they used to do months back.

You just dey find argument. At some point, I was asking Wan-Bissaka not to go forward, a far cry from the norm...

Palace are a useless team. See how their stupidity made our +3 goals irrelevant.

I'm impressed with Fred, Mata and James. It could be down to Pogba and Bruno being on the pitch sha.

For those who were blaming the players that started vs Norwich, can you see how good, James, Mata and Fred have looked with Pogba and Bruno on the pitch?

Expert17:
Afrodoc, patrickmuf, Oasis007, Nezzjnr, Leyqute, Sylvalord, Odizeey, Lana1, nitrogen

Who do you think will be our player of the season?

Bruno or Fred?

I'm going for Bruno

Fred for me, I remember when he played every game at one point, that was in December. For his endeavor, let him be rewarded...

handelex:
Pogba hasn't been mentioned here since this game started... Bruno is the golden boy now.

Pogba has been exceptional. Bar our defense, we have been excellent today...

Abeg make we no abuse any player, let's just enjoy the game and pray for Deeney and Co. to do the lord's work...

Crystal Palace should just do the needful...

Bailly should respect his old age before I take his name to baba...

Greenwood is the truth...

CapitalCee:
I am saddened by DDGs misdemeanors recently, but that goal is clearly Magwayas fault. With that his big head like tipper

Baba abeg no make me laugh...

SIRcumalot:
I read someone comment on this thread that matic usually starts the season on peak form like this and start to dwindle as the season they go.... Boy do I hope that person is wrong.

He did not play a lot at the start so no wahala.

elampiro:
I mean no one dares blame him for his part of culpability leading to the goal we conceded.

No, he wasn't at fault. As GloryIsaac rightly pointed out, it's 95% on Maguire and 5% on De Gea.

elampiro:
Matic is now untouchable.

He brings so much balance to our midfield...

Nezzjnr:
Apart from this goal

Martial is somehow slow sha

No provoke me o!

This players are funny, simple pass, you pass behind your team mate.


Martial on the beats...Ballistic Martial...

They are trying to isolate Lindelof alone with King...Wan-Bissaka might have to limit his attacking foray up the pitch until we are at least 2 goals up...

Expert17:
See De gea again

What stopped Matic from clearing the ball away? This your agenda will only fly when necessary...

Shaw, I dey use one eye look you.

odizeey:
Every goal na de gea?

I just tire, that goal is entirely on Maguire...

Look at Maguire FFS

Oasis007:



Fred likely to start.....?!

Leyqute, Afrodoc2 and Expert17, it's this upload by Oasis007 that made me think Fred is coming in for Matic.

I am very happy Ole stuck with the winning team.

afrodoc:
Fred can’t step in for Matic and play with Pogba and Bruno.
Or at least he shouldn’t.

Fred is too weak, too easily outmuscled, and too easily dribbled to be the only protecting the defence when Pogba and Bruno bomb forward.

If Fred plays it should be with Matic or with McTom.

My comment is based on the pics that was uploaded here that has Fred number up. I am assuming from that clue he is starting and not necessarily that I want him starting ahead of Matic.

Leyqute:
Hopefully. The last time OGS entrusted Fred and McTomminay to man the midfield they failed (vs Norwich, FA Cup ). Hope they will get the job done this time around- if they start.

And you can’t write Bournemouth off like that. They may show up with a 6-3.5-0.5 formation and try to frustrate us.

I meant Fred stepping in for Matic and not the both of Fred and McTonimay starting...

A convincing win and nothing less...I watched Bournemouth last game vs Newcastle and they looked out of depth, their heads have dropped and the players seemed resigned to their faith, RELAGATION...

Let's see how Fred will perform alongside Pogba and Bruno. McTonimay will also get his chance.

Dino is a prime suspect as he was quick to dissociate himself from Hush

eph12:
How much have they paid those players in wages?

What those players earn is quite little thus the clubs taking them on loan can easily foot the bills. It's not the same scenario when you are talking about the likes of Sanchez...
