BikeMan:
See how Sodick is hating on a boy that doesn't know him

He is just a pained guy. How people cope with his likes is beyond me. The government should build more zoos.

iamoyindamola:
Some people will just jump into argument like puma, 75 mins we conceded 2 goals midfielders that involve Jerry curl should have stopped.
25mins torreira stopped 2 crucial goals but one mumu from scummies is trying to gain attention

You're not the brightest here so I'll let this slide.

Oasis007:


Kuku tell us you want Ole replaced with Poch!

You are not in my head. I want Ole gone and I'll gladly accept Poch or Allegri.

MRTA7:
Ole really saw that performance from that midfield last week and decided to try it again. SMH

Right now, I am struggling to see the difference between Jones and Mata in our set up. Both are useless. You change formation dropping one idiot and replacing him with a finished player. Right now, I am hoping for a miracle, Mata should just turn up abeg.

raumdeuter:
While OGS is the Tammy
Pochetinno is Kane
Klopp is Lewandoski

Spot on.

raumdeuter:
Kovac is a defensive coach

I have said it multiple times that OGS is the wrong manager and Man utd shouldn't miss the window where Poch is in the market cos in another 3yrs you might be stuck with one.mediocre manager while Poch is doing great where he is

I saw how some people on this thread campaigned against Klopp and Pep in the past they are now lusting after their success at their current clubs

Well, I was not part of that lot.

I can join in the banter against Pep but to be sincere it's only a mad man that will claim he isn't a good coach along with Klopp.

Chrisus:
Pereira tfy in advance

Future possible tense...

Oasis007:
You should know I've given up on OLE since. I've made it known here quite long. But we can't replace Batshuayi with Giroud, rather it's better we stick with Tammy till a harry Kane of a Manager or a Lewandowski is available.

Simple!

Are you putting Ole in the same level with Poch and Allegri? A yes or no answer should suffice.

Oasis007:
If I may ask.... What was the Direction under LVG? Why was he sacked? What was the Direction under Mou and why was he sacked?! Were they wrong with their respective Directions?!

We wailed here that LVG possessional Football is boring, he was sacked despite winning a Trophy.

We accused Mou of packing-the-Bus like we didn't know before he was hired. He won Trophies, yet he was fired.

So which Direction are you Guys seeking? Offensive or Defensive? Experience Manager or a Rookie? Who's gonna give us the damn Direction?!

Who's the fuckîn Moses that gonna part the Red Sea and leads us to Israel ffs!!!!

Are you pleased with Ole? Do you want him to stay? If yes why, if no, why? You'll answer the question by yourself.

raumdeuter:
How would you see a blueprint from a coach you didn't hire

For Pochetinno have you not seen his blueprint at Spurs

On the field of play, you will see whether or not the team was making progress. Why on earth were you against Kovac? You wanted him to get the sack but you want us to praise Ole over here.

Talking of Poch, nobody can rubbish his good works with Spurs.

eph12:
I'm always sad seeing those two in the starting lineup, especially Mata.

Garner and Levitt should be ahead of Pereira and I'll take Lingard over Pereira at the moment. Pereira has been poor thus far.

elampiro:
Because Alves took set plays.

Just like Ashley Young has created the highest chances in Manchester United this season.

Alves took set plays? Oga it's facts or nothing. Alves take set pieces in a team with Messi and Xavi? Hmmm

pharod:
That doesn't mean that he knows what he's talking about.

Help me tell him.

When Klopp came, you could see the direction the team was headed even though the personnel were bad. Their intensity increased almost immediately and after each search, they made tremendous progress.

At City, it's the same thing, Pep didn't win any trophy in his first season but it was obvious from the get-go the kind of game he wanted to play and once he got in the necessary players, they won the league.

We can go about changing the personnel but whilst at it, we need to at least see progress on the field of play and our position on the log. Nobody is insinuating that things should change almost immediately but let's see a clear blueprint.

Spy360:
Stop hating the boy guy.

Emery picked him, now Ljunberg has also picked him. Make all of una dey there dey mumu una self.

As in erh! When Xhaka and Willock plays rubbish he won't call them out but when it's Geun he is quick to call him out. As bad as Guen, Xhaka and Willock have been worse...Wetin concern me sef?

elampiro:
What you said in your previous post was wrong. I will highlight it for you.

Not once did Alves created more chances than Xav

I said Alves created more chances for Messi than any other forward he played with and you're telling me about Xavi...You opined that strikers should create chances for themselves and in response I told you that most of Messi chances were created by Alves a RB and not his fellow strikers in a bid to show you the effect of Fullbacks in progressive football.

elampiro:
Messi mostly topped the chances created charts for Barca season after season except when Xavi or Fabregas displaced him. Sometimes Iniesta and Sanchez came higher than both Xavi and Alves.

Xavi vs Alves
2009/2010.....109/54
2010/2011 .....65/54
2011/2012....44/44
2012/2013.....47/36
2013/2014.....53/40

2015/16 Neymar 1st 102, Messi 2nd 77, Suarez 55, Rakitic 32, Inieta 22, Alves 21
2016/17 Neymay, Messi, Suarez

You were quick to call Alves and forgot to call Jodi Alba who was creating only 18, 19 chances. Don't you think Alba covered some lapses in the defence when may Pique will have to go cover for Alves. Bissaka can be our Alba.

Hehehe Make I just laugh.

I am watching matchday on Supersport 3 right now and Paul Scholes just corroborated everything I and a few others have been saying. He said we are better off attacking than defending thus he saw no reason why Ole made that sub.
He also said we don't have an identity with regards to the constant changes in formation. For him, there's no reason for us to line up with 3 CBs against Sheffield United irrespective of their current form.
When the talk of missing McTominay came up, he and Sherwood said that the fact we are missing McSauce shows how far the standard has dropped.

Elampiro, rather listen to Neville, you should pay more attention to Scholes.

paafin:
Ole is on it now! Aren't you happy now to see Sanchez, Darmian and Lukaku gone? Young, Matic and Jones knows their days at numbered here and i remember you wishing them gone! Let's give him time, please.

Whilst at it, the results don't need to suffer...

MRTA7:
Both.

He is stubborn and a dunce... I am even nice sef.

paafin:
It's largely the players fault. We have a good number of grossly average players in the team that can't adhere to simple instructions or lose concentration easily.

Successive coaches have come and gone but none of them deemed it fit to replace the players thus your argument is faulty. Pep has discarded a lot of average players at City. Klopp has done same in Liverpool but our coaches don't seem to think it's the players fault. Isn't it logical to blame the coaches then?

eph12:
Ole na dunce finally

You know this?

eph12:
Because it didn't serve its purpose. In a different outcome, it will be hailed as tactical masterclass

Against Liverpool, Spurs, Manchester United or Chelsea I'll have no problem with that change but not Newcastle, Sheffield and the likes...I know it's football but then they're teams who pose a greater threat than others.

wman:
Lol.

Scummies that aren't sure of winning their next match want to troll.

Abeg go look bush...

Smalling and Jones are available for a cut price come summer.

elampiro:
What is the prove that Alves created most chances? It was Xavi while played as CAM

Read what I wrote again.

elampiro:
Are you saying Xavi and Iniesta would have been comoftable with Martial, Rashford and James in front on them?

I am saying with those guys behind them, they'd have looked way better...Alves created the most chances for Messi not Henry or Eto'o at any point or Villa or Ibra neither did Pedro or Cuenca. Xavi topped the assist chart at some point. Of late, Alba has done a good job making for for the creativity on the wings.

If what I have typed above isn't clear to you then we can move on to something else....

codedguy1:
Dumb move you say because it did not work.

There are times the same type of sub has been done and it paid off.

Make we calm down abeg.

If it was Liverpool vs City, it's understandable but not against Newcastle United...Tue quality of the opposition not necessarily the sub, get?

larride:
I can count the number of games G. Jesus has started this season that City has struggled to win.

I don't like him, he is not a serious player.

thorrvik55:
Cvntois is still a flop. Peeps have already gotten used to his sub par performances that's why no one is talking abt him..

Ask a Madrid fan.

Unlimited22:
Especially having just scored.

Exactly, you have all the initiative but with that sub, you hand it over to the opposition. It implies you are comfortable with the lead and that you're ready to defend.

elampiro:
Then what are we saying? Our attacking forward are substandard when collectively rated. Which is why our chances creation ability is below expectation.

Nevertheless, Nani was best at what he was known for 'minus a defender' swiftly to create a huge space. No one again has been able to do that.
............

“Of all the players I’ve played with during my career, if I wanted someone to beat someone 1 vs 1 & it was do or die he would have been one of my first picks for sure. He can go either way, off either foot, tricky & lightening quick – a defenders nightmare!


The above statement by Rio Ferdinand summarises my argument. Nani was better than Ronaldo in minusing a defender in a tight space while not in motion. I stand, you stand and I still dribble you. Rashford and Martial should not come into this kind of debate.

Are you saying that Messi, Suarez and Griezemann will be comfortable with Fred and Pereira behind them? Will a coach that starts 5 defenders against a relatively weak opposition excite a Barcelona fan?

Are you underestimating the importance of a great supporting cast? Will Barcelona and Messi win the same number of trophies with Fred, Pereira and McTominay behind them rather than Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets? Will they be so dominant with Wan-Bissaka and Young/Williams rather than Alves and Abidal/Alba?
