And since Pep has gone, Carlo Ancelotti, Juup Heyckenes have coached Bayern, How many finals have they made?

They didn't have Robbery at the peak of their powers...

sleekdot:
The same Barcelona that won the treble had 7 starters from the team Bayern flogged

You want me to tell you the difference Neymar and Suarez makes abi?

Can you compare them to Pedro? If Barca had Neymar and Suarez bad then, Bayern wouldn't have walloped them...

sleekdot:
Bayern players were past their peaks and they proved they were by being unable to win the CL again. Barcelona players in 2013 were not past their peak because the bulk of them went ahead and won the CL 2yrs later The same players that Bayern demolished

They were only badly coached that's why they couldn't win the treble again. Javi Martinez was about the best defensive midfielder, Pep came and rather used him at CB...

Lahm alongside Alves was the best right back, your MCM came and instead moved him to midfield...

The semi final against Madrid was embarrassing, Madrid set up to counter, everybody saw it except Pep who persisted with a high line...Srubborn tactics...

If Pep didn't try to be too brilliant with that team, they could've at least won another UCL...

Is this your MCM the one they cannot dribble

Was that a dribble? He picked himself up and went on to dominate the game...

Eruditor:
The olodo is trying to switch to invest. What a dumb morafoka.

Raheem was bought for 50M. That is how much he COST.

Today, he is VALUED at 126M.

Geddifok.

Seriously, even if want to talk about their current value, don't you think De Bruyne is worth at least £150m?

spillo1:
Dayo is a funny character. I thought he had changed yesterday but I was wrong.

I know how to get him...

He is almost everywhere arguing, today, he speaks in support of A on our thread, tomorrow he'll argue against A on Chelsea's thread...

sleekdot:
On one hand you will say it was Messi who helped Neymar to win a CL now are you saying Messi Pique Iniesta Alves were finished and Neymar plus Suarez won the CL for Barca

Alves Alba Pique Iniesta Busquets Messi not sure of Macherano

6 to 7 starters in the team bashed by Bayern but it was Neymar that made the difference

Messi wasn't fit, if he was 100% fit, trust me the margin of defeat would've been smaller...

That Barca team was toothless without Messi and that's why they invested heavily to get Neymar and Suarez...

See how you want to start turning amala...

In a shot at Fergie, you claimed Bayern beat the Barca team that beat Fergie twice after 2 years...

I reminded you that you claimed Bayern players were past their peak that's why Pep couldn't reach the UCL with team that had won the treble a year prior...

If after a year, you claimed Bayern playerswere past their peak, why can't you use same excuse for Barca players after 2 years?

In reply, you said Barca still went on to win the treble but that Barca team wasn't the same, Neymar and Suarez were new entrants...Argue along this line...

Sholaani:
Yeye dey smell

If we had won the game.. no one will complain of the sub made

Sub or no sub... Liverpool getting an equalizer has already been coming.. The idea of introducing Martial is to be able to hold up play upfront while James is LW.. The goal just happened quickly... If not, you will have praise the Coach.. I am not a supporter of Ole but the Sub is right

Abeg shift, we are noylt the same, I was always going to complain even if we win...After watching us beat Chelsea 4 v 0, I had reservations with the way Chelsea were able to play through us, only poor finishing stopped them from handing us a defeat. Away from winning, some of us want to see the team play well...

sleekdot:
Barca players won the treble 2yrs after the 7-0 battering how many trebles did Bayern players win after Pep left

Th team that won it after that 7 vs 0 demoliton had Suarez and Neymar...Not the same team...

Sholaani:
Rashford that was visibly gassed out abi? Make he come get another injury

Tueh!

Would you rater have Rashfrd or Pereira there?

I suspect this is Ole...

Liverpool were there for the taking, we could have done with the vision and precision of Pogba today...All those aimless balls forward was annoying to watch especially when you had James and Rashford making good runs...

Ole is a fool sha, he should have taken off Periera for Martial and sent Rashford to the right to defend against Robrtson who was bombing forward at will...

raumdeuter:
2yrs after Ferguson got humiliated, Bayern smacked Barcelona 7-0

But when we say Pep didn't do well at Bayern who had won the treble the previous season, you're quick to say th players were past their prime. Use that same excuse for Barca...

Damod88:
Equatorial Guinea is not poor in terms of natural resources, especially oil. The country is a typical example of the failure of black people as regards development.With a population of less than a million people , Equatorial Guinea has huge oil deposits which ranks the country in the top ten oil producing countries in Africa but with little to show for it in terms of development.

Facts only...No African country is poor.
Africa is blessed with natural resources some much so that Africans should not lack but look at us, we are scattered across the earth looking for means of livelihood...We have failed mother Africa.

nitrogen:
According to Paul Ince, United are yet to show any signs of improvement under Solskjaer and could finish in the bottom half of the Premier League table this season. ‘We know Ole is going to get criticised and will come under pressure because he’s not getting results, but also because we’re not getting any signs that it’s going to improve,’ the ex-United midfielder told talkSPORT. ‘Obviously with young players it’s going to take time, but Chelsea have got young players and they’re doing alright. Liverpool have got two young full-backs they’re doing okay.


‘They could finish in the bottom half of the table. When I’m seeing Ole after the games saying, “we’re working hard, we’re working hard”, I keep thinking we just want to see what they’re actually working on. ‘When I see the team I don’t see what they’re doing. I don’t see their patterns of play and I don’t see how they’re working from an attacking point of view, because they’re not creating chances – they’re not even having any shots. ‘I just don’t know what they’re actually doing at Manchester United.’

They're beginning to say it as they see it...No pattern whatsoever...

This people are very insensitive...This excuse would've made sense if officers and men of the Delta State Fire Service didn't reach the scene of the accident with their fire trucks without no hitch bar traffic...

That people are buying into this blatant lie shows you how much of idiots we live with in this country, they swallow every sh.t they're fed hook, line and sinker...Tueh!

kendrick93:
Lacezette has the better First touch,link up play, and he is more likely to score in difficult circumstances....he's the better all rounder than Aubamayeng..
Aubamayeng is the better striker though

True...

raumdeuter:
How many Man Utd players have you seen in your jersey in the recent past that looks like they know what they are doing attacking or defensively

I give up, I no get strength for plenty talk...

raumdeuter:
Kante cannot cover everyone, before you overlap, you need a plan to cover your area. When TAA and Robertson overlap, Fabinho Wijnaldum Milner and Henderson are readily available to cover them. Does Man Utd have such plan or you just want him to bomb forward regardless?

Have you observed anything in his game that suggests he is very good in attack? I'm referring to his career thus far...

eph12:
Dalot joins attack more than AWB? patrickmuf you may need to calm down o. Dalot has been joining attack to do what exactly? How many crosses does he have and how many have hit the target? What exactly has Dalot brought to our attack since he joined playing from RB?

Dalot is the best crosser of the ball amongst all our full backs...Watch him closely when he plays.

raumdeuter:
PSG have Verrati they have Gana Gueye and they have Herrera
If Casemiro does not start Madrid still has players covering for them
Alaba and Kimmich have midfielders who cover for them when they go forward, Alba does. A full-back shouldn't just bomb forward without cover

Have you seen Chelsea fans complains about Alonso who goes forward and they concede from his side?

But Chelsea has Kante, no?

The truth is that an attacking fullback will push forward regardless of the cover, he might be a little cautious but that quality will be obvious...

Lana1:
Then he should retire if age is no longer on his side. That one no consign anybody. Once you're on the pitch, your club and fans deserve to see you giving around 8/10 at least every game.

Now ask urself which kind of attacking play this team deploys that the full backs can contribute to.

I'm sure you didn't see his cross against West Ham that useless Rashford couldn't finish.

Of everybody in the whole team, AWB has the most dribbles going forward. Young is the only defender with more crosses and key passes than him....yet, how many assists Young get?

You can compare him with TAA and Azpi all you want. Fact is those 2 have forwards who are always present in the box to tap in their crosses unlike AWB.

If AWB played in a better team like everyone you compare him to, i'm sure he'd be pulling his weight in attack too. Right now, United hasn't been a significant upgrade on Crystal Palace for anyone to be coming up with these kind of conclusions on AWB.

If TAA played for United, he wont even be better than Young talk-less of seeing assists every matchday.

No be everything be argument, Wan-Bissaka is renowned for his defensive qualities rather than attacking...Asking that he improves or having a different opinion isn't bad after all...I have watched enough of him to draw conclusion already...

Robertson played for relegated Hull City but his attacking quality was obvious.

Maguire played for same Hull City but you could spot his composure with the ball at his feet.

Erik Pieters plays for Burnley but you can't question his attacking play or are the strikers at Burnley better than those we parade?

raumdeuter:
TAA and Robertson are able to join attacks because Klopp deploys midfielders who cover for them when they go forward

When AWB attacks who will cover for him? If the team concede goals because AWB decides to go forward wont you come back to blame him?

You saw Bernat and Meunier combine to down Madrid...Who provides cover for them? Marquinos alone abi?

Marcelo and Carvajal are very attacking with or without Casemiro starting...

Alaba is very attacking so is Kimmich when he is deployed at RB...

The truth of the matter is that Wan-Bissaka is poor going forward. Dalot joins the attack from that same position, I guess he has Roy Keane covering him...

Lana1:
Azpilicueta has been excellent in defence for Chelsea?

He is aging now, he used to be one of their best defenders...

Point I'm actually making is that 1 vs 1, Azpi is had to beat but playing him as a RB requires more than just defending, his attacking play is average and that's why you have Chelsea fans rooting for Reece James to nail that position. He isn't better defensively but for his attacking play, he best fits the football Lampard wants his team to play...

Watch Liverpool vs Salzburg and you'll see how Robertson and TAA combined for Robertson's goal, that's how much fullbacks contributes to a teams attacking play.

Leyqute:
Monaco won't release Tioelemans to Utd for less than 50. And he's the only one in ur list I think can contribute significantly (and I might be wrong). And Yedder to som,e extent.

The defence will still be very leaky though. There still won't be a good midfield cover for the defence, so we could easily concede when we lose possession up the field.

If we brought in Tielemans n Ben Vedder during the last TW in addition to HM and AWB, we won't be this horrible as a team.

Let's not stretch this talk at all, we have seen quality midfielders change clubs for very good monetary value...

Thomas Meunier was available, way cheaper than Wan-Bissaka but offers more in attack...

Watching our games, Maguire is not all that better than Tuanzebe, in less than 2 years, Tuanzebe will be rated higher...I even reckon Tuanzebe is better with the ball at this stage...For the funds we had, we'd have been investing in our midfield and attack rather than defense...
Dalot should have been trusted to man that RB supported by Young.

eph12:
So Jovic may mature in 2-3 years from now? Would pressure and bashing from fans not have killed him before then?

Zidane will play Benzema till he retires instead of trusting Jovic...It's favoritism and doesn't tell the quality Jovic possesses.

eph12:
I wonder where he is these days

Yeah just like Chelsea and De Bruyne/Salah...

eph12:
Jovic is the one that went to Madrid?

Yes...

CrystalTiger:
Missing out on that Tielemans vex me die walai..€40m I think was what he went to Leicester for..Full time Belgium international with over 70 first team appearances starting from Anderlecht..

But he isn't British so he knows nothing..

No be only you o!

If we had signed Dani Alves, a lot of folks would've been here to highlight his defensive frailties rather than his overall contribution to our play...Big teams don't do Wan-Bissaka, ask Chelsea with Azpilicueta who has been excellent in defense...

Leyqute:
Not really. We may score more goals (quite unlikely) but then we'll concede way more. Name players who are available for 130m and will significantly improve that midfield and attack.

Tielemans...
Ben Yedder...
Jovic...

Leyqute:
Yes, we'll be far worse with that defence you listed. The two RBs can't hold their own agasint tricky wingers and the two CBs can't win an aerial challenge.

If we started the season with that formation we'd be sitting 20. Cos I dont see how we wont lose against Vardy and Chelsea.

We've got a blunt attack already, having a bad defense in addition will be catastrophic.

I don't think so, if Maguire and AWB's fee was invested in midfield and attack, we'd have fared better...The stats suggest we are poor up front and in midfield.
