Na you dey call him Black Ronaldo o.

Leyqute:
LoL.

There is hope for salvation.

He has to stop thinking he’s shouldering the team’s burden… and that by pursuing personal glory, he’s lifting the team.

But at the moment. Na idiotic player him be.

afrodoc2:
I am telling you guys that he is probably finished physically you guys are thinking it is attitude problem. We saw it with Fowler and Owen in their early 20s. His decision making has always been poor the difference now is that he can't accelerate past well positioned defenders anymore. In open space he is still quick but he is not catching people and leaving them like he used to.

The best thing that can happen to Rashford now is for him to be benched for a long time and hopefully his body can recover. Something like using him as a bench player exclusively for about 6-12 months and then see if he can return to form.

TrebleChamp:
Abeg explain the bolded..

Joezinho:
How can you guys say Messi was strolling around the pitch like an external invigilator?

Leyqute:
That’s not totally true.

As a teenager, Rashford connected well with his teammates and made the right decisions most of the time.

It was when he cemented his position in the team that he decided to change his game so as to score more goals.

I agree that he needs to be benched exclusively so as to regain his game tho.

I think there’s still hope for him.

I swear, Ronaldo tracks back more than Messi, even though he is older. Baba no do anything tonight.

CrystalTiger:
Something is terribly wrong at ManUtd..Maybe its the owners that has made the place look like a summer camp or whatever..

I cant imagine a player like Benzema with four UCL closing down a goalkeeper and we literally have to beg our own players to press or Modric at his age and accomplishment being so serious and excessively tidy in possesion..There was one tackle he gave Messi after chasing Messi down..

At the end of the day, Real Madrid's captain is Karim Benzema while ManUtd's is Harry Maguire smh..The difference is in there though..

afrodoc2:
Ronaldo’s mentality and fighting spirit is superior. That is the main reason there is even a Messi vs Ronaldo debate. On pure natural talent Messi is superior but Ronaldo has a pathological and desperate need to win.

nitrogen:
Very true. Hardwork, dedication, smartness etc. got Ronaldo to the very top. Messi is way more talented.

afrodoc2:
Mos def. It takes more than just natural ability.

Meanwhile for those of you who dropped your Greenwood stock i am presenting another option. He is just 16 so it might take a few years for the investment to reap benefits.

The decision making was always suspect. That is the main reason I was in the Mbappe camp in that Mbappe vs Rashford debate even when Rashford was on hot form.

When a player’s physical ability drops he won’t be able to get away with the mental mistakes he used to get away with again.
For example a quick defender like AWB or Bailly that uses speed and tackling to compensate for bad positioning will become exposed once the body starts failing.

It’s not like I have inside information on this but remember I called it last year before the club started confessing about all the injuries he had.
What I am seeing is mainly physical regression not attitude problem.

Leyqute:
Pogba vibes.

Seems to lack pace. Extremely talented and skillful.

Unlike Pogba, he doesn’t showboat. Releases the ball quickly.

Can pass. Good vision too.

Best position seems to be CM/AM.

Lots of potential. Can make it in the PL with right guidance and mentoring.

Lana1:
See ehn. This thing is just so annoying.

You look at players from other teams and you see that commitment. They always want to cover an extra feet to put in a tackle or press down the player with the ball. Our own players go dey do like say we are begging them to play for us.

They heighted Lindelof on Sunday and for a good 6 seconds baba was shaking his àss at the edge of the box instead of tracking back immediately to plug the hole he had just opened up in the defence Burst my brain walahi.

I've seen boys put up more of a fight in a 5-aside monkey post match than these lot.

Yeah. He is 18yr old Pogba with more defensive awareness and work rate but with less passing and shooting ability.

He almost always plays as part of a double pivot. He is a no 8 not an AM. His pace is good for a CM.

I think the major problem with the youth players coming through is that so many of them are midfielders so they will in effect cannibalise one another like crabs. Out of about 10 of them not more than 2 or 3 will make it here.

Leyqute:
WWRD?

What would Rashford do?

Knuckle shot na ni

E goes both ways
But Liverpool na sure banker
For the picture
If I drop am
You give me 50k
Deal?

Jodera:
Yesterday was one of the reasons I said we messi fans should not say Messi was bought to win UCL when he's not giving great performances in the league. Now he's out of cl, wetin we wan talk now??

Weekend wey go sweet na mostly Fri we dey take know.

patrickmuf:
PSG will win the French Ligue 1 with or without Messi...What the owners want is the UCL and that's where the competition is wherein, he is doing very well...

If he was dominating the French Ligue 1 and struggling in the UCL, I'd be concerned but for now, he is doing well where it matters most...

Leyqute:
Na Patrick talk this thing that year

patrickmuf:
I beg to be excused from this never ending debate...

If I decide to put the above logic to test, it won't hold water...Is Messi struggling in the UCL?
