Only player that can lay claim to be directly responsible for his teams successes over a period of time is Messi and even that is debatable, so wtf is our resident canopy analyst saying?

raumdeuter:
Schalke is a very confusing story they have very good young players, they bought good players in the transfer and one of the best young coaches in Germany in Marcus Weinzerl but their results have been so dissapointing they are on a 5 game losing streak now
I really hope Weinzerl can pull it back because I really have high hopes for him but I think top 4 is slipping

I think they need to move away from Huntelaar and see if Embolo and Maxim Chupo Moting can work upfront. Also Max Meyer is more creative

They should drop Bentaleb and Baba Rahman completely use Meyer and Kolasinac

As at Friday Schalke, Bremen and Hamburg 3 of the traditional clubs are occupying the bottom 3 spots inthe league. Stuttgrt also relegated last season This is not good because these clubs have more resources to to compete

See what hate can cause?
So the poor performance of the team is due to Bentaleb and Baba?

A40:
Its unfortunate the boy didn't deliver at Schalke. The emergence of Kimmich also meant no hope for him

I want to see more consistency from him though. Everybody is r@ping West Ham tbh

It's good you reminded him it was West ham who have been poor so far.

Diademk07:
Only a fool wouldn't know Hazard was Belgium best player at the Euros, if only Lukaku had sorted out his inconsistent first touch!

Hazard you like, Herrera you hate...Life goes on

afrodoc2:
Just watched the match.
Lots of useless players in that Chelsea squad and the toupee wearing manager himself is not of much use.

But on a more serious note it wasn't Ozil turning Lord Kante that surprised me, after all this is Ozil. It was the fact that Lord Kante could not keep up with him........after all this is Ozil.

See the wickedness of man...lol

Hazard only plays great when his team has the chance to win something big...See stupidity lumped in one sentence...
So hazard didn't know that Belgium needed the win against Argentina during the world cup? or that Belgium needed to win against Wales to stand a chance of winning the Euros? or that Chelsea need to win against Arsenal to close the gap on city?
Tramadol is really bad.

Kantelele, the makelele of our time, what a player.
Conte, the tactical one cum the defensive one cum the failed one.
Life is cruel, they're different kinds of Loius Van Gaal and I think Chelsea has one

Can a wonderful fella here share that when pogba scores meme?
It was supposed to make the stadium erupt but guess what, it made all the haters world over go numb...
I never thought my day was gonna be fun until now, thanks a lot to the Gunners in the house...
Chelsea is a mediocre club (Loud it)
Conte is the white version of Onigbinde.
Hazard is a magician, master of the grand art of vanishing
Willian is your proverbial headless chicken
Costa is a no different from all the touts at Ajegunle
Fabregas is a lady
Chelsea Fc is a big fraud, if they were any close to the shores of Nigeria, they'd have their accounts frozen like that of mama piss...
Super Saturday...

Without Martial, who do you guys think will be pick as the LWF, Depay? Young? Rashford?

This silllly Governor seriously want to die by all available means,firstly he stopped using bullet proof SUVs
And now he relocated to Bokoharam former strong now
If they refuse to kill him there,he will surely relocate to Sambisa forest

It is people like you that make our politicians choose the wrong path, a life of opulence with your shallow reasoning. I have seen folks like you mock politicians for having only one house after years in government.
A sad situation.

My people, come celebrate with your boy. My wife just dropped this little girl earlier this morning

Congratz Ibime

atebesunny:
I strongly believe one of the problems of MAN UTD is the issue of waiting/standing-still to receive a pass instead of running into space or creating it to receive the pass. this tends to make their play slow and easy to negate (no fluidity ).
example of this is the match against city where everyone (including myself )concluded that Mikki flopped, he's used to players who pass and run into space (Dortmund and FC Shakhtar play fluid football ). another case is when Mata came on against Watford and lost possessions cos he was passing into space for his teammates, and I 'think' this might be affecting Pogba cos he's also used to fluid midfield play

You definitely know your football... Brilliant post

SAHACO:
So we need to indict him, a deadman listen to yourself.

I don't like it when people like you quote me...

Too many idi.ots on here, does any one have specific rights over the use of certain words/phrases?
Fools everywhere shouting plagiarism upandan.

nnachukz:
ABACHA according to Saint Buhari stole no money from Nigeria. Haven served under Abacha and defended him publicly Buhari is as corrupt or even more corrupt than Abacha.

Don't be silly, when PMB made that statement some many years ago, no security agency had indicted Abacha nor court of competent jurisdiction had pronounced Abacha guilty so what exactly is your point? I see you're in to twisting facts.

Cross Riverians here will appreciate the arrest of this miscreant more, patiently waiting for the arrest of G1...

Danhumprey:
Pep's Man. City keep improving with every game. They may not be the finished article yet, but it's foolish underestimating them.

Nobody underestimated Pellegrini's City talk less of Pep's City. Their team is quality all through, don't think a guy on crack will dare underestimate City.

KDB is just your perfect footballer. Only player who is better than him currently in terms of decision making is Messi.

See grown up men doing the stuff of kids.

We played and lost to man city yesterday but we (NL MU Fans) didn't blame the international break, I don't see why you guys are trying to find the easy way out of a poor result.
It therefore means if you guys had come up against City/Liverpool/Spurs/Utd, I'd have been a black sunday

dopeJemi:


forget this rapport, i'm personally shutting this place down if y'all mess up today

Lol you're wicked

elampiro:

Bailly is as culpable as Blind for the first goal we conceded.

Rooney's decision making and final balls are still the best in the team. Pogba decided to shoot from 30 yards even when Ibrahimovic had escaped from his marker reading for a drop ball to nod in. I have seen many like that in the team. SAF boys were very good at making the correct decision, the reason he didn't want to leave Giggs.

Ibrahimovic is great buy he needs to improve on his awareness in the fast paced EPL. He should have easily equalised just before half time if he was aware of his environment. The keeper was out, that he knew, but he failed to realize the man that was with him had long left to block the post.

There is big hope for this team.

You are joking right?

From our match yesterday, one thing is clear, against big teams who have that bit of extra quality we cannot afford to go with a two man midfield because of Pogba's positional naivety. With Herrera along side Fellaini, we look much more compact and I'd love to see Pogba do the simple things first like release the ball on time and not try to over do everything.
De bruyne is so deadly cos he passes when he is suppose to pass and shoots when he is suppose to shoot, closest player to Lampard I've seen.
Lingard shouldn't be a starter for us, he is at best a squad player. Our biggest problem going forward will be Pogba and Rooney, for the Pogba we payed huge money for, he has to be further up the pitch (a position Rooney occupies) flanked by Martial and Rashford/Mkhitaryan especially against skilled opposition.

Leyqute:
How would you guys feel if City came to OT, dominated, and got all the points?

We both clearly stated that the points comes first before entertaining football especially at this stage.

IYANGBALI:
Who is Rooney?

Unfortunately, he will start as long as he is fit, it's something we have to get used to for now. Just wish Mou will go ahead and surprise us all with a teams that doesn't feature Rooney from the start.

The derby has the potential to be the biggest and most anticipated match in world football in the next couple of years thanks to the Mou and Pep factor.
I'm curious to see how Mou will set up the team today cos we already know Pep will overload the midfield in a bid to gain total control of the game. I expect City to start with Sterling as a False 9 thus we need to be swift in our counters if we must stand a chance...

SailorXY:
currently not good enough

But you and I know he'll start, wish Mou would do the needful.

SailorXY:
how would you select from this group? I know the line up will be unchanged from last game tho.
I'd go with a 4-3-3 (I'll like Mourinho to ultimately settle on this formation)

- - - - - - - - - David - - - - - - - - -
Tony - - Bailly - - - - Daley - - Luke

- - - - - - - Schneiderlin - - - - - - -
- - - - Henrikh - - - - - Pogba - - - -

Lingard - - Ibrahimovic - - Martial

Rooney?
