I laugh. Let them continue.

Four wins and we are getting carried away.

Ole won 9 of his first ten games. I'm enjoying the wins now but I'm not getting carried away.

A title contending squad should not be dependent on the first eleven. We know how many times de bryune got injured during City dominance but they still dominated.

It feels great to be winning games back-to-back-to-back and long may it continue.

We need to be careful though that we don't rest on our laurels even if we win all our remaining games. The squad still needs loads of additions and improvement next season, especially with the increase in games.

We don't have good subs at LB and CM. The LW situation too is not clear.

Jamiuokolaa:
You are conveniently forgetting the fact that THERE WAS NO CL/UEL/CONFERENCE LEAGUE DISTRACTIONS THIS SEASON!

After being bundled put of the Carabao cup, We were literally playing one game per week.

The current squad, playing one game per week since September, should definitely be doing better. Unless we are saying that it is a bad idea to take advantage of certain scenarios because it could create a false sense of hope. THIS MAKES NO SENSE!

All these talk of getting carried away because the squad is doing the barest minimum of winning games just further underscores the defeatist mentality Amorim has implanted in the minds of many.

Smh

But you are the one up there afraid of playing West Ham, also complaining of Mbuemo and Cunha and the whole attack line.

You can get carried away. It's your life.

We need a lot of additions. Saka and Odegard are out injured but Arsenal are still winning. They lost Partey and covered up that crack. That's how we should be moving with our squad. But some people hate that idea.

Our current struggles in attack /loss of form of certain players were being highlighted and i am sure all teams go through scenarios like this at some point in every season.

Fortunately, Carrick has been able to circumvent a way around the obstacles...atleast so far. Hopefully, he is able to steer the team to CL qualification at the Barest minimum.

We don taya for all y'all SUFFER NOW, CRY LATER mantra - una wan turn the club to suffer-head club and e no go work

"We are not playing any cup games". Na wetyn dem dey talk now?

If Casemiro goes out injured or through red card can you go to a match with boldness? If Bruno gets suspended or injured would you be confident about winning games?

You just read some comments and say naah, I'm not responding to that crap. Because where is the flow of thought coming from?

Oga no need for the IF, WHEN, WHILE statements - this is not a software programming thread

The current squad should definitely be doing better and we hope that our good run of form continues and we atleast qualify for CL football.

This idea of "we need to be losing so that the club can spend", literally sums up that defeatist mentality Amorim has implanted in the minds of y'all

Talking like it has not happened this season?
I like how you are now confident of challenging for title while being afraid of 18th place West Ham.

The bolded is another classical example of the crap I was talking about. Cook shIt in your head and force people to eat like it came from them.

I am the one with a defeatist mindset but na you dey fear 18th place Westham.

No be so Arsenal dey do thier own title challenge o. Them believe say anybody go collect wotowoto.

You might need to go to their thread for internship on how to build a title winning mentality.

Yes, it is a potentially tricky away tie and someone mentioned that their current form is okay.

There would still be more matches like these.

Hopefully, Carrick circumvents a way to win these games as we attempt to finish the season strongly

It is the truth brotherly

Any coach that is managing to win games that would qualify us for the CL and guarantee the attractive dividends that follow, y'all immediately go "ah..i am not getting carried away with wins"

Shey na losses dey carry you away?

This una obsession with the gloom and despair that accompanies defeats is just appalling!

Oya mention 'any coaches' wey you dey talk about abi no be still those ones wey them sack abi any other one dey?

18th place westham na tricky tie now. Wonderful.

The point here is the mentality of "because former failed coaches started on a winning note, any successful coach must start by losing matches".

The above reasoning, na im make peeps for here not to see anything wrong with a 15th position finish

The above reasoning is what made some people unbothered about Amorim's attrocious record that was at par with the likes Frank De Boer and Paul Jewel - the worst managers in the history of the PL.

Hopefully, we finish the season strongly, address transfer needs in the summer, then consolidate further on performances next season.

Mention coaches you dey write thesis. Leave literature for Wole Soyinka.

MAN UTD:
"When it goes to 10 men, it's always a tricky kind of situation really. I thought it was quite an open game in the first half, at times. We looked dangerous, right from the start of the game, which was really pleasing again. We had a few issues and I thought Tottenham played really good football in the first half and we had to solve a few things. Then going a goal up, against 10 men in the second half, we managed it really well. We were largely in control, always wanting a second goal to come along and, when it did, it put us in a really good position. It was nice to get players on the pitch, Tyler [Fletcher] coming on for his first game. All in all, it was a really positive day."

I'M STILL CALM

"I feel good. I feel pretty calm in some ways as well. I think we're in a good spot. It's nice to see, coming into the stadium and feeling the atmosphere from the supporters and the excitement, sending a lot of people home happy. I know how important that is. At the end, it's what we're here for. It gives us a good feeling of wanting more really, in terms of the football side of it. Some good performances and some really good results, we're just moving on to the next one and not settling for what we've got. Not taking things for granted is something we speak about a lot and the boys have been really good for that, so far."

BRYAN'S WAS A BIG GOAL

"It was a big goal, against 10 men it can work in so many different ways. It's more mind games than anything, you've almost got to think about we're playing with 10 men as anything. Subconsciously, it's a bit of a deep breath so the goal was a big one, to get in front. We managed particularly well in the second half and didn't give them a lot of breaks or transitions. It's not easy to do so credit to the lads."

BRUNO'S OUTPUT
"Listen, it'd take a long time to sum it up [his contribution here]. I think he's offered the club so much in the time he's been here, since he walked in the door. He played different roles today for us and ended up on the left. The second goal was from the left as we changed things around a little bit. He's a team player, he gives so much to the group. He's got big moments in him but we know the quality he has. He cares a lot for this football club and the team and that is clear to see."

TYLER FLETCHER'S DEBUT

"It was a proud moment for me, to be able to give Tyler his next step really in his career. I never take that for granted, never before, when I was at Middlesbrough, and giving young players an opportunity. I wanted to get him out on the pitch today, just to sample it and feel it. He came on and did really well. It's what this club is and what a week to do it, with the anniversary of Munich and the Busby Babes and everything this club is based on. So it's special and I certainly don't take that for granted. It was great to give Tyler his chance."



THE FIXTURE SCHEDULE
"It kind of works both ways sometimes. We play Tuesday and then we've got a bit of a gap coming to Everton. We've got to manage the rhythm of the games, as much as anything. Sometimes, the rhythm can help and, sometimes, it gets a bit heavy and it can hinder you. So I think we've just got to take what's in front of us. It's another big game on Tuesday night, at West Ham, then we'll regroup, rest, recover and sharpen up for the one after that."

ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT YOUR FUTURE?

"Nah, it's not for now. I think to get excited and carried away, as a supporter, is where you should be. It's why you come to support us, to dream and get carried away, hopefully leaving in good spirits and looking forward to coming back. It's our job to provide that and, to be in a position to do that in the last few weeks, has been great. We've got to keep doing that.

Ellexy:
Few observations.

- Amad is a very good player however he needs to work on his end product. His numbers are very average in that regard.
- Mbeumo minus the goals have been poor. His all round game hasn't been good at all. Struggles with control, can't dribble, easily pushed off the ball. If the goals dry up it will be evident.
- Dalot has that RB role on lock. He's been good under Carrick, the curses and abuse has stopped.
- Bruno was a bit selfish today in front of goal but I reckon he has earned it. Would have had a couple of assists today if he decided to pass instead of shooting.

Your observation is accurate, most expecially the bolded. Reason i wanted Carrick to make a change to the starting team by moving Mbeumo to the left and starting Sesko (who didn't help himself with that silly header) cos Mbeumo is not effective as a striker and has struggles in the role in all 4 games under Carrick. Yes he has scored goals but maybe Sesko would have scored more if he start, just maybe...

Everything is not about Amorim. Carrick will also struggle if he losses Amad, Mbeumo and Bruno at the same time.

We are winning and we love it. But to keep winning, especially next season when we’ll be in Europe, we need to reinforce the squad. The point is simple enough and shouldn’t attract this much emotion.

Leyqute:

Exactly, that was why I praised Amorim earlier for retaining Bruno, an attacking weapon of mass destruction, in a CM pivot during the AFCON

It was a massive tactical move that yielded the desired results

It’s easy to understand why Carrick starts Mbeumo over Sesko.

Even though he’s not a natural striker, Mbeumo takes his chances. He’s very clinical. Sesko sometimes kills your morale with his misses.

Remember the reverse Tottenham fixture? Sesko missed another glaring chance by doing like sugomu and even got injured in the process.

Untill he has that killer mentality consistently, Carrick might keep starting him from the bench— unless injuries force his hand.

Bruno got injured during AFCON and his absence was glaring. [/b]Coupled with the absence of Mbeumo and Amad, it’s no wonder our performances dropped during that period.

So why are you throwing tantrums because someone said they won’t be carried away until we buy more players?

Y'all are the emotional sissies - the ones that have failed to acknowledge that y'all anointed manager was a failure

You need to move on from Amorim. He’s clearly given you loads of PTSD. Maybe therapy can help you.

I just dey look them dey laugh.

Englishisamust:
Any coach can win 4 matches, we have seen it during ten hag, ole and mouriho eraa, The real test will be our next 3 matches, I’m not impressed at all. I can still some gaps in the team. We haven’t meet a sensible team that can utilize all this gaps!!!!

No coach in Europe can win Man city, Arsenal, Fulham and Spurs at a stretch, Name the coach that can do that!

Every team in the league has got loopholes, the better team win.

Leyqute:

Amorim's rigid approach even before the AFCON gave a clear hint that we were always gonna struggle significantly during that tourney.

Struggling at home vs Wolves - one of the worst PL sides in history and 10man Everton, then attempting to justify it shows how disgusting y'all defeatist mentality really is.

*Sneezes*

*Tueh*

We had the resources to grind out results but in stereotypical fashion, you have lept in defence of your demi god - the one that has failed miserably!

Too bad!

Leyqute:

Your propensity to needlessly bump into conversations without even reading properly for context is quite appalling tbh

•The squad is good enough to achieve more than what was initially projected by your fellow Amoruse.xuals all the name of managing expectations

•The defeatist mentality hasnt and wouldnt help us.

Thats the crux of the matter here

With una constant gaslighting last season, You and your fellow Amorusexu.als deserve every bit of stick you get here.

Y'all shamelessly came up with all sorts of ridiculous excuses to back your demi god.

When we then proceed to reference some of the unintelligible takes we've been reading in the last couple of months, Y'all get defensive and start crying like the ninnies that you are!

You even get luck say Spambot is in overdrive - body for tell una.

😂😂😂😂

We are shooting from outside which is good against low block. We're not trying to enter the 18 everytime. That's good for the team.

Dalot is benefitting from Amad's work rate. He is not needed to do a lot in attack. I think this has made the backline more solid.

We just need to avoid any new injuries, especially for Casemiro

Even with a fit squad of Bruno and Casemiro what did your master achieve with them? He nearly relegated us....We dey talk of filling station and bicycle owner sef dey chook mouth....must be mkpuruu mmmiri at work.

Casemiro?

Didnt we swear that his legs were gone and that we cant achieve anything with such a midfielder?

You mean the same Casemiro has suddenly become the Messiah that we now look up to ?

This thread eh

Anyways, I hope his replacement, at the very least, levels up in terms of performance and ability.

mbeumo is also great at the sleek direct football he favors

sesko does build up well, but he's not heads and shoulders above mbeumo

still i think carrick should rest mbeumo
two weeks off, keep him on the bench for 20-minute cameos if necessary

-Lord

Normally we shouldn't be afraid of the likes of Westham but the stench of your master Amorim is still lingering, INEOS brought a dog to train lions and we saw the disaster it caused, but now the dog has been chased away, we are still wary of seeing some dogish performance that is why some of us are wary.

How ever we trust that before the season ends every dog programming will be fully eradicated from the squad.

In the words of Odion Ighalo(paraphrased):
Sometimes you just have to smash it

It's one of the things I have been most impressed with since Carrick took the job. We won't have beaten Arsenal if the approach was to dribble into the box.

Crosses and a mobile front 3 can also be very effective in breaking down low blocks. That was Cavani's food during Ole's time
