I still see people blaming Mcfred for our woes even though they have played on about twice together this season and did not play yesterday. Me I am not understanding

Last season they were fit, we did not need DDG to be saving us, instead DDG was having a bad season and we still were doing well. But now without the duo in midfield, DDG is saving us from humiliation.

Brendan Rogers said they noticed that United played 4-2-4 but their forward players were not pressing for the ball, and so Evans and co were able to build from the defence.

Must the blame always go to Fred, who did not even play this time?

for the whole team na only the much-maligned bruno and fred dey do any kind of pressing; Rashford whenever he feels like
the rest play like their opponents can do nothing with the ball and only start to show urgency when ball don enter box

Yesterday's result saw many folks dump the Olein bandwagon...

Melodyogonna, this is to officially welcome you to the OleOut club...I will circulate a memo to other seasoned members of our profound club indicating your switch however, you're advised to avoid nani667 for now until I see him personally to explain to him that you have switched camp else him fit plank you thinking you're an intruder...

Kindly reach out to others who are too proud to admit that they wrong all these while that we will welcome them with open arms...

Anybody wey no know say Ole formation na area ball formation, that person suppose dey watch telemundo

patrickmuf:
I watched the replay of Patson Daka's goal and shook my head...Maguire watched Daka make Arun behind him to score...I know Bailly has his demons but I have seen Bailly drop such disastrous performance before...Most annoying is that Ole admitted that Maguire had not trained enough...

As for AWB, the less said the better.

In fact, I don't want to analyze the players anymore, my focus is on Ole...If we improve in defense, we will start having problems scoring...We almost never fire on all cylinders no thanks to our lack of a recognizable pattern of play.

Vardy, Iheanacho and Maddison caused us serious problems you'd be forgiven for thinking they're the much talked about PSG front 3...In our attack, we had Sancho, Ronaldo and Greenwood supported by Bruno yet Evans didn't break a sweat...

na vardy goal dey comical pass..just take a moment to watch the replay and you'll just shake your head

That is too personal an attack for me.

Which top team uses 2 sitting DMs?

We are badly coached if not, with Pogba and Bruno/VDB alongside any of Fred, McTom or Matic, we can easily control the tempo of a game...

Soumare, Tielemans and Maddison are not in any way better than Matic, Pogba and Bruno, there's nothing anyone will tell me otherwise...

Rodgers is just a better coach...

Strong statement at the bolded, some Olexesuals will start giving us Rodgers alert any time Leicester loss ...

Vardy goal was annoying too...McTominay lost his marker and even when he caught up with him, he didn't engage allowing Perez to cross to Vardy who was left all alone to volley the ball home. How do you concede 54 sec after scoring...

patrickmuf:
Where did you see anyone blaming Fred?

He has started his agenda. Where did anyone blame Fred for yesterday? Fred rightly got abuse for his performance against Everton but he is not the reason for the defeat. No individual player is. The manager is where it starts right now.

Ole has done well to change things when he arrived but he has reached his ceiling. The longer he stays in the job the more we're writing off this season. This could be a really embarrassing week for the club.

Lol na their business...

Rodgers na bottler too but he is better than Ole...

No mind elampiro...

No be new thing sha

Something else I don't want to see is Pogba playing CM, he is not good enough in that position, at Juventus he had to be moved further up. if we should play Pogba it should always be further up the pitch where he won't expose the defence with his lethargic runs and absurd tackles. We don't have a good lone DM to cover for him, and the team setup and pattern of play (or the lack of it) makes it impossible to play a sole DM anyway.

patrickmuf:
Ole has spoken about it often but come match day, you don't see any of what he talks about...I have settled for the fact that he just can't implement what he talks about...

Exactly
I wanted to believe in him because some of his comments shows he understands some of the problems but nothing has changed in the last one year.

Once again, we've never played 2 sitting dm in a match

I noticed this. It's like as if they feel like the opponents can't do anything with the ball when they have it

I think what elampiro saw was some sarcasm lol

melodyogonna:

I don't understand this. Ronaldo no even dey for the manager's plans coming into the season, na PR buy if you ask me. the obvious plan before the whole Ronaldo brouhaha was a front three of Sancho, Greenwood(or Cavani), and Rashford. We have no way of testing whether it'll actually be effective if we don't rest Ronaldo sometime.

Bold of you to assume there was a plan coming into the season

eph12:

Once again, we've never played 2 sitting dm in a match

Actually we have severally...McFred are paired as sitting DMs against top teams...This is not up for a debate.

eph12:

It's really annoying when I watch us play. And the funny thing is that the players and coaching staff know this about our game.

They know the problem, like everyone else but not the solution. When Pogba mentioned yesterday that they couldn't just find how to fix the problem I lost it. Make dem sack that werey in charge abeg, he has run out of ideas

And the kain form wey Salah dey now na to dey smack him lips..

Jodera:
Lol... You been no defend Arteta like this that week oo.

People don yab me and dig my comment for this thread were i said, Arteta case is better. Ole is only finishing higher than Arteta because he has by far superior players. No wonder any time Arteta set up against Ole boom Arsenal wins.

CrystalTiger:
And the kain form wey Salah dey now na to dey smack him lips..

At this point I will like us to loss all the EPL matches and win the UCL games enough to qualify. So that we will solve this problem once and for all

People has started mentioning Ten Haag, Heaven will bear me witness i started talking about him like 2 years ago

Nezzjnr:
Nitrogen when will you guys have board meeting

We are on it. Not sure we will sack him sha. He needs time, we’ve seen some stability in the last three years

InvestorO:
Na this Congolese Gbenga okunowo na him una dey compare TAA with ,Ogun go Kee anybody wey dey do that comparison

Nitrogen,I came specific for your tears...Oya open the book of lamentations

Your head is paining you. Anyway, weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Against top teams everyone is a defender/dm/defensive attacker. It certainly isn't up for debate.

Lindelof should be able to play DM na.

That pass to rashford was nice
