Jamiuokolaa:All the criticism of him was that he was poor in midfield which he was. In his last season under ETH, He was crashing the box and getting goals for us when he was played in a more advanced role. I think he got 10 goals or so. The problem is we always played him in a midfield pivot. Most of his time in the academy, he played in advanced positions or sometimes even striker and he showed it for the first team as long as you dont have him in midfield trying to control play he can be a useful goal getter. |

Jamiuokolaa:Don’t mind him. Like I always say, we just need to be lucky re: manager recruitment, we need a manager that will do everything partaining to football (from recruiting the best talents to figuring out how to use available resources until he forges a strong team). The whole structure thing is not in our DNA. |

odizeey:Lool. Don’t worry, they are already telling us that the structure thingy requires starting from scratch. I guess scratch = relegation/championship level. God dey! |

MRTA7:I agree with you, even though i have always seen him as a poor man's Bellingham that slightly improved just before he left Man utd. In all of these, I think Conte also deserves some massive accolades. Winning the Serie A with McTominay as the best player in Italy is a testament to him not needing a 400m open heart surgery at John Hopkins Hospital to avoid 16th position |

Jamiuokolaa:You don’t need a hefty budget to win the league in Italy. Conte brought in 8 new players last season for a total of 180 million.

Leyqute:And to think 2 of our rejects are featuring predominantly on a list that totals about 150m Euros Na iron condemmed/ rejects from other leagues + cheap players from Monza, Torino, Brighton etc Conte dey turn to superstars...take dey win league. TrebleChamp:On the other hand, another club is being asked to break the bank and buy the same Osihmen before it's manager can improve on the current 16th position he plunged them into! Leyqute, you have just proven once again that there are levels to this coaching shít! |

Na Liverpool win league, they are about to sign Wirtz Leverkusen best player and Bournemouth Herkez. While we are trying to buy Delap from Ipswich. No wahala now. |

Jamiuokolaa:Didn't Oshimen win domestic double where he is being their highest goal scorer? Lukaku and Ghostimonay both combined for 26 goals. Oshimen alone scored 26. You don forget to update us say na the same 3-4-3 Conte use win league? ![]() |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 9:59am On May 25, 2025 |
akwesenana:This club is foolish. I hear them wan sack the club physios. Maybe na Amorim go be part time coach, part time physios. E no go better for Glazers and Ratface and all their supporters. |

larride:You are making my point for me... Our rejects are being used to win league by a tactically astute manager while we are chasing the same player this same manager allowed to leave..all in a bid to improve on our current 16th place. larride:Conte don drop that update even before he went back to Italy He took over at Spurs mid season, turned their fortunes around and qualified them for the CL that same season with the same formation and a certain Reguilón as LWB. Another manager took over at another club, plunged them into 16th position and now needs 5 pre seasons, 6 TWs + a blank cheque to take the club out of the abyss! |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 10:26am On May 25, 2025 |
Leyqute:8 players tan tan. Na just 3 players remain for stating eleven to complete. ![]() |

Jamiuokolaa:Na only you know the argument you are having sha because I no know who dey follow you talk all these ones. First nobody is comparing Conte to Amorim. Conte has considerably more experience and much better profile than Amorim, only a lunatic will compare both manager. Secondly, Lukaku has left Man Utd for years now, na Ole sell ham, no be even this manager you are trying to shade that sold McTominay so I don't know why you think it's something you have to brought up. Everyone knows Lukaku dey score goals anyway and McTominay dey turn up with the oddsl goals here and there. Thirdly, my response to your post was about Oshimen. This season, Lukaku and McTominay that you want to use as "deadwood scoring" both scored 26 goals combined, Oshimen alone scored 26 goals in the league where he is also. A sensible person knows why we want the club to buy Oshimen. Oshimen will guarantee goals for us because that's what we badly need. |

Jamiuokolaa: ![]() .....spare us the lengthy shalaye, shey na 3 - 4 - 3 formation Conte used to win the League or not?! Secondly did he win the League without signing any new player(s)?! Lastly did he join mid-season or actually had pre-season with the squad?! |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 10:39am On May 25, 2025 |
![]() ......the awful season for United fans is finally coming to an end. We will be back stronger, fitter and competitive next season. #AmorimStays |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 10:46am On May 25, 2025 |
Oasis007:You dey even go far. Conte don win league with Juve back to back to back, he has won the same Seria A with Inter before going to Napoli. Imagine comparing a serial league winner in Italy to a new manager in a new league. Conte is an established Seria A league winners. There's no basis for comparison except that they both use 3-4-3. The formation can never be the problem. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 10:47am On May 25, 2025 |
Oasis007:If Amorim don't want to be unfortunate, whatever experiment he want to do, he should do it in pre-season. We better start next season on fire else na from game week 2 he go don dey hear ham. |

larride:You are the one that tried to downplay Conte's achievements at Napoli instead of just giving the man his flowers for winning the league with "Ghostominay" as the best player in the Serie A. Meanwhile, since Conte is way bigger than Amorim, let's compare him to his Portugese brother at lowly Wolves, shall we? Victor Pereirra joined only in December and has already outperformed Amorim in the league, using the same formation. The outshining was so bad that Amorim has started chasing Cuhna to sign from the same Wolves. larride:It still doesn't change the fact that "deadwoods" were combined by a tactically astute manager to achieve results. He didnt need the best striker in the world to win a scudetto. Another manager needs the best striker in the world to get out of 16th position. That's the point here larride:I am not against the signing of the best striker in the world o, if that's what the manager needs to take us out of 16th position ![]() Hopefully we are able to sign him because with the way you guys are clamouring for him and he eventually goes to Saudi, it's like we would finally relegate! |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Ellexy: 10:53am On May 25, 2025 |
larride:Coach wey serious too, signs go dey 🤷 |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Bombblacks: 10:53am On May 25, 2025 |
Conte didn't use 3-4-3 through out the season. He was changing formation base on the players available and opponents. His versatility is one of the reasons Napoli won the league. 4-3-3 was the formation he even used the most. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Jamiuokolaa: 10:58am On May 25, 2025 |
Oasis007:You have jumped into a convo you know nothing about and you are typing out of context as usual If I ask you to stick to posting Amorim's interviews now, you go dey vex |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 11:07am On May 25, 2025 |
Jamiuokolaa:What exactly is your point? Is it Amorim that sold Lukaku and McTom? |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Jamiuokolaa: 11:12am On May 25, 2025 |
patrickmuf:The point is that managers are winning leagues with "deadwoods" while we need the best CF in the world to take us from 16th position |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 11:14am On May 25, 2025 |
Jamiuokolaa:Do you want McTom and Lukaku back? |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 11:16am On May 25, 2025 |
The season is over already, let's see how we fare in the transfer market and the first 5 games of the new season before we start this whole negativity here. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Jamiuokolaa: 11:17am On May 25, 2025 |
patrickmuf:With this manager? We would be playing 3rd division football if they come back under Amorim |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Jamiuokolaa: 11:22am On May 25, 2025 |
patrickmuf:When did cold, hard facts without emotions, become "negativity"? |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 11:27am On May 25, 2025 |
Jamiuokolaa:You have made your point, why do you feel the need to keep at it? I mean, there's no one on these board that doesn't know your position on Amorim and the season we just had...We should be focused on what the club does in the summer rather than seeing post saying we finished 16th as if we all are not aware... |
