elampiro:
You blame system problem for an unnecessary double leg over when a clear forward or through pass is on? Most times when he was unsuccessful in his attempted dribble and got blocked, he reversed and eventually passed back to defenders. Yet he was $89m.

no need to drag this.
The boy is quality, struggled initially and has begun to deliver.
This is the summary of my initial post.
Is there anything here you don't agree with?

Agbakolly:
The guy is just lucky.
There is nothing special about his football.
Life is very unfair.

Buffon to Juventus TV: "I've played with many great players throughout my career but for me, Paul (Pogba) is the best among them." https:///ggq3Ib5TqH

Brightwood:
It's a matter of Time before the team falters especially Ibrahimpvoc.

lets all wait for the inevitable slip and then come out all guns blazing then...

ChristineC:
there was nothing 'constructive' about the slating of Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimović on this board, especially Paul Pogba. All I read was underlined by £89m, it all came down to it. New players may need time, but no, an '£89m midfielder' cannot be allowed such luxury. He must constantly win MOTM from the off.

Was the right formation considered during those 'criticisms'? The midfield combinations? His adapting period? His age cum potentials for the future?
No! £89m and nothing else matters..

I saw why nyabinghi said many guys here are fans of any player in form.

It's the funniest thing in all of this
For a long time here all of I could Do was read the vitriol and laugh.


Na to hide under the canopy of ''constructive criticism' be the thing now.

elampiro:
What you said now makes sense only because he has started playing well

lol.. Elamps warrisdis?
Dude has been playing well for how long now?
People were too quick to to jump on his neck, don't you think?
Even when he was struggling, it was more of a 'system problem'. His ability was still evident for all to see

Seeing Kante was dominated yesterday by dembele and wanyama, you can't help but appreciate pogba and how he held his own physically against these guys in their defeat at old Trafford.

Too many people don see pogba finish sha.

The man has an appreciable amount of almost everything; strength, passing range, creativity, can dribble, shoot, defend, attack, head, etc you just name it. Plus he scores goals and dabs perfectly.
But all some people will have etched in their memory is the few times he overdribbles and loses possession. (even some of our fans who desperately want to hold on to their initial waste of money yarns)

To top it all, he's still only 23! And will get better.

United for pay 120m for this man and I for still no complain

Pep's man city deal was confirmed way earlier than Mourinho. Pep had way more time, bought more players and spent more. Wasting money on German Kieran dyer, crockdogan and English miniature oboabona amongst others.
All his fans do Is complain about th squad quality.
Shebi na until he buy messi? Dude has spend 150m already


All Mourinho's transfers on the other hand have all been hits. It's difficult to even choose which one has been transfer of the season.


As for raum, it's best to give that one a rope and allow him exhaust it.
He will soon competely run out of sensible excuses

Useless club

Make I run go buy pop corn for arsenal fan TV later

Nihilist:
Xhaka

better than pogdab, you know.

They used to give him keys to the house as a kid

Arsenal just love being 4th, don't they?

If there were only serious people here, this thread will be dryer than our beloved PA Ramuzakis hair...Leave Matter for Matthias...Let the season end, My claims will be well Justified.

hard to disagree tbh.
The legendary head of the obviously One of the reasons why he likes pep this much..

Brightwood:
Negativity isn't wanting a clueless goat like Moaninghoe out.

lol. One of the reasons why nobody takes you serious.

TheGoodJoe:

Please, who should we attribute Iheanacho's recent improvement in his leap too? Pellegrini? Vieira?

The first time I saw Iheanacho make a brilliant leap was in the Manchester derby. The one he headed the ball and Kevin De Bruyne scored. That was the early sign. Now he is getting more comfortable winning ball in the air. I see him improving.

Guardiola made his admiration of Peter Crouch's aerial ball control and I expected to see how he could adapt that to Iheanacho.

Recently, Guardiola makes the City team spend two and a half hours a day on practicing to win aerial balls. How do you expect Iheanacho to show improvement in that area and you want Guardiola not to get credit for it?

sigh

TheGoodJoe:
It is not about height alone but leap. Among all of them, none of them can leap like Iheanacho. That was not a part of his game but under Guardiola he keeps improving on it.

I applauded him yesterday when he lifted up and headed the ball to Yaya. That was not an easy skill to deal with a clearance with such touch. None of the City forwards can pull that off.

common this man! Do you have to attribute EVERY SINGLE iheanacho improvement to Pep Guardiola? This is becoming ridiculous tbh.
Iheanacho can leap higher, it must be Guardiola.

dopeJemi:
Btw, where our ministers of negative affairs

they've been awfully quiet. Na true sef.
When we slip again inevitably, trust them to come out all guns blazing

tng:
I honestly feel the English media and pundits are gagging to see Pep fail which is sad. Not a fan but its quite obvious

if anything, he's been protected for way too long. The English media will always be the English media.
Mourinho for example has been treated far worse this season, but we never begin hear retirement yarns. Instead he has been taking of how he would love to stay here for as long as possible.

There is an obvious disconnect between pep and the club. He's probably realised how small a club they are and he's become disinterested. They struggle to sell out their champions league matches Ffs
Just yesterday, he was trying to ginger themz nobody answer Omo guy.




Mourinho was correct

Baldie, this man no dey tire to run?
5 months or so in and oga don dey think of retirement

Brightwood:
This isn't funny one bit...Is your sense of Humour as bad as your hairline?

this guy is mad

Pep's side playing an interesting amount of longballs

Mourinho on return of late #mufc goals: "With Sir Alex, the result would be 3-1." #mulive


Subtle Jose, subtle

If anybody Is making way for lindellof or another incoming CB, it has to be Smalling. He was atrocious in his last start against Chelsea and almost caused us to lose our first game since that Chelsea debacle.
He's conveniently located in Worst CB we have atm

Just when you think it can't get any worse, these refs prove you wrong with glee

If anything, It was Valdez that was late on zlatan. But a few seconds of rolling on the floor and the ref's foolish head Is turned.
I give up.. Sigh

We need to stop giving our number 7 shirts to newcomers. It needs to be on hold for a while. It has been shat on too badly in recent times by ninnies

Leyqute:
Seems Depay was ostracized because he wanted to leave. In January.

Memphis Is a fool and Mourinho has a good point.
There are many others who are willing and in need of the minutes why waste it on him if he is already looking to run?

I also like how Mourinho is letting people know he won't sell our extra players for scraps, by not making it look like we are desperate to offload them.

Bimffo:
Raumdeuter, I like the way you arguing these days but the Fat diss to Ibime is now becoming so stale just like the shape of your head diss.

fa hear

raumdeuter:
You sef laugh? Seems your intention is to mock Lampard, Na only trophy for toto he dey win. There was apvssy competition in Okitipupa he for enter to contest

Lampard winner of International toto trophy

Smh

raumdeuter:
You dont need to excel from JS1 to SS3 just be average and pass with let my people go. Its WAEC that counts

ENgland was winning everything in qualifiers they got to tournament they cant win shishi. If they ask you about EUro 2016 tell them its the team that won all the qualifiers that count

you don dey shift post again subtly
We talking individual performances.
Let's keep It at that please.


Boateng for example fails to turn up through out a season and then by a stroke of fortune manages to turn up in the final, that he was carried to.
And then another, Terry after carrying the team on his back (for example too ), cannot perform to his usually high standards in the final because of fatigue or something similar.


We all know which kept being bamboozled with individual awards and why

raumdeuter:
How many percentage of exams you take in secondary school is WAEC? How come its the only thing that determines your success or failure in secondary school? Try passing every exams from JS1 to SS3 and fail WAEC

In Sports its the final stages that count, WHo cared if Golden State beat Cleveland 200 times in the season if they cant perform in the finals, who cares if Yohan Blake beat Usain Bolts in the Jamaican trials if he cant perform at the Olympics, Who cares if Andy Murray wins all the Dubai masters and cant perform in Grand Slams

Big games are there for a reason. One of Zidanes biggest moments will be that CL final and world cup final goals not the goals he scored against Saudi Arabia or Compostella.

fail all your exams if you will even get to write waec?

raumdeuter:
Thats why you should pay more attention.
I never put awards forwards. For Iniesta its his performance in big games like world cup final, CL finals etc where he was MOTM

My own criteria has always been constant, Perform in big games. Its worms like ibime who say awards matter for Terry they dont for Iniesta

'big games' are how many percent of the games in a season?
That Terry could win awards despite being 'woeful' in 'big games' is an indicator to the fact that you have the tendency to blow the relevance of these 'big games'( in assessing player performances over the course of a season/career) way out of proportion for your convenience.

Performances in The apparently ' small games ' cannot be thrown into the bin.
If you don't win the 'small games' in the first place the big games either become irrelevant or non existent
