Unless we get a proper CM, we'll not make top four..The Mount and Bruno midfield combo is pure shit..Make ETH just dey mumu 😕..

By the beginning or middle of September if we're no where near the top, then he should be kicked out..

Mason Mount vs Wolves:

0 goals
0 assists
0 chances created
0 crosses
0 tackles won
0 accurate crosses
0 aerial duels won

Chaii Chelsea just scammed us oo

the window is still open. sometimes a shaky start can be a blessing. it was last season.
this season we got the points but played on the edge enough to point out gaping holes.
we will probably need two midfielders now because Casemiro truly looked like a retiree today and if our first midfield option off the bench is Eriksen then it is not a very good sign.

Leyqute:
We were poor overall today. Our midfield didn't create many chances so it's hard to say our forwards didn't finish well. We didn't have a single clear chance at goal.

We had several chances come our way whenever we pressed them high up the pitch but our forwards almost always picked the wrong pass or missed.

Why ETH ask for this Mount sef 😕, this transfer dey very annoying ffs 😠😠..

larride:
It's the same thing I said last season.

You can play long ball from the current players we have upfront who have no zeal to contest aerial balls. As good as Onana is with his passing, how many long balls did we win when he launch it forward?

The overall play today was bad (even though I'm happy with the 3point). The way Wolves players kept running riot in our midfield leaves bitter taste in my mouth. Imagine we have a team like City or Liverpool today, we will probably chop 5. Even Newcastle go chop us like Suya.

Hopefully we see marked improvement in the next game. If ETH do not get at least 2 CM before the transfer window closes, he wont finish this season and I'll be there no matter what.

I have said a lot of times that the balls we claim De Gea hoofs are not bad but our useless forwards will make you think otherwise. In no time, someone will come here to say Onana just hoofs the ball causing us to lose possession when the reality is that our forwards just don't care...

Geestunnar:
Rashford pressing was just like jogging to the opposition GK, no urgency about it, just casual jog up to the GK. The only time he pressed with intention was after he got a Cruyff turn from Sá

No be for this match wey I watch

Window is still open, this man should go and buy a CM and either Amrabat or Onana for DM. I can't bear to watch this rubbish all season....

airmark:
When Wolves wanted to score, one Man UTD fan ran into the field.

When Wolves wanted to score from an up ball, Onana ran out to infringe, but nothing given.

It's too early to be using malpractices to win matches o.

Do your own malpractices if e easy 😎..

Leyqute:
See him yeye mouth

To praise my player now is a crime? 😁

Incredible piece of business
Havertz 0
Mount 0

apart from agenda onana being your man of the match ain't a flex,it shows how terrible your team were.

Englishisamust:
I hope you won't disgrace us in premier league too. U don dey move to where you ended last season small small. Abi na my eye dey pain me

Abeg na spare Chelsea fans,PTSD IS REAL#[i][/i] Chelsea life matters!!

They didn’t scam us. I don’t like false accusation. We scammed ourselves. Imagine make maga dey initiate email contact with Yahoo boy.

Before I settle down to read the last few pages I hope I won’t see fights o cos at this point of equanimity we should unite as brothers and accept that Top 4 is a pipe dream. Sope otilor.

TrebleChamp:

Sope otilor. This one pass Amrabat or Onana nmatter. We will all watch this rubbish together this season.

ChristoBam:
If not for Onana, we definitely would have conceded when they brought that giraffe in. Reason Onana was desperately claiming crossed like that. Let any of them connect once and you're in trouble. Only shining light tonight.

Gernacho was absolutely terrible. At one point, he was killing every attack.
Casemiro was terrible.
Bruno was bad.
Mount was anonymous.

C’mon guy. You can’t use terrible twice. If you say Garnacho was terrible you can say Casemiro was horrendous or pathetic.

Oasis007:
Casemiro is lucky that Mainoo is injured, he would have been shipped to Saudi in the next 48hrs.

That is why he injured Mainoo ahead of time.

At what time I had to adjust the colour of my TV. It felt like Casemiro was running inside mud.

Leyqute:
Our midfield was very porous. Case was overworked and he wasn’t fit. We were lucky to get the 3 points.

Case was not overworked. He was the one overworking people. Could not run. Could not tackle. Could not shield the ball. Caught day dreaming on the ball multiple times. Could not pass the ball.

Mount Transfer remains mystery to me till today. Ole brought Maguire, EtH also decides to bring in another overrated English Player into the Squad, instead of clearing them off the book.

He said he can keep ball, he can press, can pass and can dribble.... none was witnessed yesterday.

nitrogen:
Lol, so, anyone that is unhappy with our display and performances is a moro’n? Listen, I will tell you who a moro’n is: someone who fails to recognize criticism, or someone who is focused on favouritism instead of objectivity.

No fan should pray for the team to fumble, but then, no fan should also keep quiet during or after a shitty performance. We all criticized previous managers, ETH should get his fair share!

Gbam.

larride:
As if we no finish games 1-0 or even 0-0 when DDG was here.

When he touch their fav now, you go begin hear "they are wishing the team bad".

Its funny because De Gea had the highest clean sheet last season. So what do they mean by we would have conceded?

Wolves had poor finishers. Simple.

Ten Hag needs to focus on the midfield. I've been saying this. The midfield is very important.

patrickmuf:
Any player that serves us rubbish should be rightly criticized regardless of who he is or his age. The same for the manager but our criticism here should be fair and not agenda driven.

One of the reasons why I was against fixing the goal keeping department when we had more pressings challenges is because I figured De Gea was only a small part of the problem. We have signed a good ball playing keeper but we won't reap the advantages he offer us because we have way too many players who are uncomfortable receiving the ball under pressure. You don't even need to be very strong but know how to properly guide the football so you can attract fowls when opponents try too hard to get the ball off you.

In the first half, they were instances where Onana had to delay on the ball to allow our players get for from the marker because he doesn't trust them to give them the ball under pressure. The moments he went long, we lost possession not because his pass was erratic by our forwards just can not win headers or simply do not care to try. One too many times I saw our players mosjudging the flight of the ball...


We need a CM who can get on the ball and dictate the tempo of the game as well as a CB...Greenwood should be reinstated because Rashford is just very annoying as a CF. I wouldn't even mind if Martial is back in the team against Spurs because we were terrible with Rashford as our CF...

Replacing DDG was just a very small part of the solution. But peeps here made it seem like that's the single most important part of the solution.

I once said if we're still in contention for the league with 10 matches to go, ETH should be praised. But looks like it's actually worse than I feared.

We have a recruitment problem and ETH owns that area. Then we also have a coaching problem, also owned by ETH. We don't have bad players. Our players are better than Wolves and we played at Old Trafford. ETH has continued to overlook the midfield

Well we have replaced Lingard though...

Jokerman:
Well we have replaced Lingard though...

As in Fred is more useful than that mount!!!!. I don dey miss fred small small. Because I no just understand this one wey eth won put us to

Guys EtH's Ajax had slow srarts to their seasons and yesterday's game was also a lot similar to the Brighton game last season, we were trying a new system but it wasn't working. I'm glad it didn't cost us the three points like last season. But it will get better, just like it got better last season.

Don't worry, Erik knows his stuff.

Also this guys don't know how Onana or Mount plays yet. You could see Onana surprised them with some great passaes that they did not expect. Or when they'd rather blast it to the stands because of the De Gea ptsd. We will play better

We should all be happy ETH is trying to create a new pattern of play. I mean we can not just rely on counter attacks. Therefore I can even take a couple of losses so we can have a team with defined play

I don't get the Mount criticism here. He was good at pressing up high. It's bw cause of him that the team managed to regain possession several times in dangerous areas.

Main issue was that the attack couldn't do anything. You can argue what you want about the midfield in the second half but Rashford was awful and Garnacho tried but couldn't do it. This team needs to play with a proper 9 who's doing runs in behind the defense. Enough with this false 9 stuff. As soon as the team plays with a false 9 or with Rashford as CF the team has no outlet to attack. They recover the ball and then pass it sideways, then backwards, and then they lose the ball. Rashford decides not to press once he loses the ball and now all the responsibility falls onto the midfield. Then when the midfield is tired and getting overrun people blame them.

In the second half the game got physical and Eriksen not only doesn't challenge for any disputed ball, but actually moves away from the challenge. Casemiro can't do it by himself. Not saying he played well but he had no help in the midfield I'm the second half.

COPIED

This is the 25th time Mount has played as a CM in his entire career. Let that be a reminder that he is not a CM, never played in a system like ETH’s and will take some time to get used to this play style and even though he is not a fancy french name we should back him before questioning him. If you can beg for Lindelof to play CDM you can hold your opinion fot sometime to let Mount thrive at CM.
