Lukaku...More like it.

Make una carry una argument commot here abeg

We're pressing very well, high up the pitch...

Happy birthday slimghost, may the odds favor you going forward...

BlueAngel444:
Madrid defense, Carvajal, Ramos Varane, Marcelo that coped against MSN, will what against who See the way your sounding certain as if you have watched the match already .

So Bayern's back four is better than Madrid's .

And that Dumbelle you mentioned will do what, let him play el classico first before any noise pls.

Lol PSG did the business against Bayern when it mattered most...Dembele ran circles around the Madrid defense when he was at Dortmund so, yes he is that good...

BlueAngel444:
Gosh your posts can cause brain freeze

You should be ban from any keypad even a calculator

What occasion See if you want to underrate Chelsea's team atleast pretend to know what your saying.

Like my friend would say:

Thank You

Okay, thank you...

yea motta would b very key for the partisans cos of that stability he brings at the base of the midfield and his vast experience,y I love d midfield trio of veratti rabiot and motta is cos of their ability to hold the ball under pressure,they don't panic..its just that I don't c psg eliminating Madrid,to conquer this Madrid team in Europe would take more that d physical game,you need to b prepared mentally,and its actually big clubs like bayern,barca that may cause that damage..If I was to wager,I'd definitely go with Madrid..

I actually watch Barcelona this season,their attack isn't that excellent per se,and this new coach has made dem more compact in all areas of d pitch thereby reducing their attacking impetus..honestly if conte gets his midfield combo right against barca,I'd tip them to win

Bakayoko/Drinkwater will both find the occasion too big and you can't trust Fabregas in a two man midfield with Kante, the big question is will Messi sacrifice his constant drifting into the middle to stretch Chelsea's defense by constantly tormenting Alonso which will force Cahill to leave his position to cover for the helpless Alonso thus freeing up space in the middle for Suarez

dubylhover:
yea we should see off sevilla,but I actually think Madrid psg is slightly tilted towards Madrid cos of their experience..it also looks like psg aren't that fantastic away from Paris,they both have excellent attackers,the midfield would b key and I see kroos modric dominating veratti rabiot..
as for d Chelsea game,I just have this feeling that Chelsea would knockout barca,yes theres nothing special in this Chelsea,but honestly the same can b said for barca as well,hazard morata Pedro can wreck havoc on that barca defense...

Well, whilst you're right that Madrid have got the prerequisite experience, at the back, I don't see them coping with the threat posed by Neymar and Mbappe, midfield is even especially if Motta is fit, he makes them play so much better...
As for Chelsea, whilst you might want to argue in their favor you've got to remember that Dembele will be back come February and he'd be akin to a new signing, the thought of Messi against Alonso and Dembele against Zappacosta/Moses...

We got a very good draw, Sevilla are woeful away from home thus I expect us to grind out a result away and finish them off at Old Trafford.
Elsewhere, PSG should progress, Barca should have too much for that average Chelsea defense and Spurs with their players fit should be able to spring up a surprise against the Old Lady of Italian football.

Lukaku is a waste, may thunder fire any foolish bastard that quotes me to say nonsense.

Leyqute:
You're a learner if you're waiting for Mou to go gung ho against pacy teams who play lots of short passes. This is the way he usually sets up his team against those kinda opponents and the leopard will not get rid of his spots.

Let's just hope the young chaps up front make the most of their chances and score enough goals.

We are more pacy and stronger than City bro.

Best team he could have put out there, I expect us to exploit that City left back, Delph.

If we win, we're heading straight to agbero fc thread to celebrate...Dopejemi, CapitalCee, hoopla, Funlord, Leyqute, Odunharry etc y'all did great yesterday...

Celcius:
This shouldn't be happening though.
...but note that if you on the streets of Calabar for whatever reason, you just gotta be as neat and orderly as you can, else you'll be swept along the dirt too.
This op sef, what if you see the exodus of Rohingya leaving Myanmar what will you do?
There you'll see plenty of such children. Its really hard to watch, especially when there's hardly anything significant one can do.

Which Calabar, the one you used to know or the present day Calabar characterize by street children AKA Skolombo?

Fussbot:
Are people really praying we draw shaktar? Haaa! those guys are good oo. Even pep, after the first leg knew he wld not win at the return leg. I want sevilla..

It's the knock out stage, to be the best, we've to square up against the best...If we get a very capable team, it just might force the hand of the board to strengthen our weak positions.

The budget has question mark all over it.

elampiro:
Not advocating for dropping Lukaku for anyone, not even Ibrahimovic.

The guys who started the argument against us simply created two extremes. They think themselves to be Lukaku lovers and us as Lukaku haters.

Why can't they understand the fact that we saw something and said it sincerely. It doesn't make us Arsenal fans or City fans or Chelsea fans. May be I will get my phone on my palm during matches, when Lukaku does those things I am talking about, I immediately mention it. Then people will understand.

I get your point, the criticism of Lukaku, Lindelof and others have been valid based on their performance at certain match day (s)...In the end, we all want the best for the team...

elampiro:
Lukaku went two months (10 matches) with just one goal. Even matches we played him in the opposition box are there. If you add the Arsenal match that is 11 matches.

Yet people said he is getting better. From September ending to date, Lukaku has scored only one league goal. One big chance against Newcastle, that he couldn't have missed.

People who complained were right to do so. In those matches, Martial, Rashford, Young scored. Yet the excuse is that we park bus. Lie lie lies from the pit of hell.

Elampiro, your argument that Martial, Young and others have been amongst the goals and not Lukaku is spot on, however, I have seen improvements in Lukaku's overall game play and he must be doing something well for others around him to be thriving. You can't compare how well others are doing with Lukaku with when Zlatan led the line, he scored more but he didn't press from the front quite as much.

A40:
Vidal. Javi and Mueller were also on the bench. You forgot to mention that

Don't mind me, I was only clowning around...

elampiro:
Not when you guys blamed our best player (Rashford) on the night, and exonerated the culprit who had the best chances to put us ahead in the first half.

Go back and read comments and see who divide the house by blaming wrong players just to justify their support for one playing poorly.

I'm not against guys criticizing players for performing sub par, I just think after the game we should get off the cases of players, Rashford made some poor decisions today and I was particularly not pleased cos I want him firing, a front line of Rashford, Lukaku and Martial is what I dream of. And by the way, my post was not directed at you...

Airmark, Boateng was dropped to the bench, come on, say something about it...

Even in celebration, some folks can't resist passing snide remarks about others...We played well but instead you want to start an argument...Folks, let's ignore those hell bent on dividing our fan base here.

codedguy1:
it was good game, everyone put in good performance so it covered any mistakes if there were any.

even before we went down with a goal I was happy with the way we were eager to get the ball back when we lost the ball.

would be more impressed if we increased our intensity but I ain't complaining and lukaku did well today even with his link up.

Spot on

Juan is just cool

eph12:
Commentator said something about we having to lose by 3 goals before we drop to 2nd

We don't do permutations... Lol

Make the right runs and Mata or Pogba will find you...Nice one Rashford

This game is calling for Martial's introduction...

Lindelof is so comfortable on the ball, on each occasion he breaks forward, our forward players are caught napping, no opening to receive a pass or drag defenders out of position...

Rashford should up his game or get replaced, his childishness is too glaring...

Oasis007:


I've posted Team's News since Yesterday nah..... expect the Lineup in few Minutes time.

Sorry, meant lineup...Thanks

Oasis007:
Nothing is wrong with Shaw at the moment. He's fit, always training hard to earn his Spot in the starting XI. But it seems with Young present Form - it's gonna be hard for anyone, not just only him, to get a Look in as a LB or LWB.

Bro, sup with the team news?

afrodoc2:
Sandro is rumored to be for sale at £50-60 m.
Just a lil more than Rose. For this bloated market that is not a bad price.
Let’s sort that position out now cos a year from now we will have to sort the RB position.

I don’t think Shaw even wants to stay. Only way he remains is if JM leaves, that rship is fractured.

I prefer Sandro cos he is fitter but then again, Rose has the advantage of already playing in the EPL.
