Buhari don win now, the jobless will be gainfully employed inshallah.

coogar:
an opportunist?



arsenal wouldn't make top 4 if they had rooney all these years.

And I have only invited once in the past one year.

elampiro:
Arsenal would have won the league with Rooney's over team play. Not one who wants to score all the goals and block the routes to others.

block the routes to others, you say?

his assists stats when he won the golden boot were in double digits. RVP scores as many as he assists. each time rooney scores past 25 goals, his assists dry up.

Opportunist hyna blocking routes. Always in the box scoring from 6 yard regions. Anyone in the 6 yard region will have assists. But when he cant score, the entire team dies.

RVP
11/12 - 30 goals, 14 assists
12/13 - 26 goals, 15 assists

rooney
09/10 - 26 goals, 5 assists
11/12 - 27 goals, 7 assists

as you can see, rooney is the hyena. when he scores plenty of goals, he doesn't provide for others.

RVP is the hynea because these are inbox issues. Should I bring forward the midfield stats, Rooney will fly higher than RVP like an astronaut jet over an company chopper. Check the number of passes that has to do with build up play.

But you can lie. RVP never had these Assist. Check your opta.

opta's way of counting assists are different to the premier league standard. for instance, opta didn't give an assist to falcao when he won that penalty that rooney scored against sunderland.......but premier league counted it for him.

I can see chrisley024, the number 2 Rooney perpetual hater and Coogar's number 1 ally.

Come on guy.

I've been supporting Rooney since the day he became a United. Your problem is you fail to agree he has regressed tremendously; he's currently just ok and nothing more. Problem is when you join the English press to hype him to Ronaldo's level. I've got no issue with any player as long as we keep taking the 3pts.

Just tell him, since your are the closest to him here, to work on that his awful 1st touch cos it spoils our play upfront and surrenders the ball to the opponent.

35 touches on sunday - the poorest in his career. even in the games we have been tonked, rooney would normally get 70 touches if he completes 90 mins.

you could see the game passed him by apart from the pass to mata which should have been an offside call anyways. i like how this new system benefits the midfielders....na rooney sabi.

Mata was offside cos it takes Rooney 10-20 secs to control a pass and his turning took him same amount of time before he then made the pass. smh

We should give one Orijin to that linesman.

you cannot blame rooney
he turns at the speed of earth revolution. i was happy the goal counted though. in 12/13, ashley young was denied a valid goal @ the etihad.

Rooney's record in unsuccessful touch is best among the strikers and wingers, except Ashley Young. It's even better than Rafael's.

How long did he take Rooney to control a cross from Di Maria and then turned 180 degree to smash it in against Villa.

* Rooney controlled and turned well against City. You guys must find excuse. Na today we dey see offside from not properly timed run against a pass or a pass against a run?

let's talk tactics.....

how do we approach the chelsea game? same team or should we tweak? make no mistakes about it, pochettino, rodgers & pellegrini dropped a ball for not addressing our dominant left side - jose mourinho would sort that out.

i see him playing 5-5-0 or 4-6-0
zouma would join the midfield containing matic & ramires. hazard & willian would flank them & one of fabregas & oscar would play as false 9. jose would play for a draw.

Chelsea are a different kettle of fish because they wont try to win. This makes them more dangerous as theyre play for a draw and probably get it or beat us if we get over confident and attack too much.

he's a tactical wizard & he's not ashamed to play for a draw. he would tell his players to be patient, look out & punish us for our mistakes(phil jones love for backpasses), score and lock up the game completely.

if we can manage to score first, we would beat chelsea easily.

What makes you think Chelsea wont play to win?

Take into cognizance that we are playing before our home fans, we are yet to record a home loss and have been held to a draw just thrice this season at home, we are not yet champions, we have Arsenal hot on our heels and manyoo aren't even the best side in England.

Why would we want to settle for a draw?

Answers on a postcard please.

I see no wizardry in what he does - Mourinho. just a damage limitation plan whenever he comes up against a team he believes has a chance to beat him. the game against Liverpool last season was a classic example, for all my joy & jumps @ Liverpool being stopped in their tracks - it was a gory sight. we have seen the same against Man City this season even against 10 men @ home.

you can play poorly & win sometimes, but when the prototype is "play poorly & ensure the others do the same" before the ref's kick-off whistle, then there's nothing genius about it.

make no mistake, this is not the same thing as setting up a team for counter-attack football. he can import gorillas from South Sudan to play in midfield & defence by the weekend - it won't change a thing.

the ultimate is the points - how you get there is irrelevant. jose is a masterful tactician - to deny him that would be tantamount to a treasonable felony. sometimes, we should be humble enough to give rivals their credits. mourinho is a genius!

it's called adaptation!
his team is not playing too well. many of his performers are fatigued or injured. united are in red-hot form. it would be foolish of him to go gung-ho against us like he would approach hull or leicester.

his main priority is not to get beaten.
a loss at this stage might start a rot for them like we have seen with liverpool & city. he has to manage the situation by getting draws against the big teams left for him to play & go gung-ho against the smaller sides.

@Elamp, Thanks.
Works greatly!

what was he adapting to when he played United & City in the first leg & City in the second leg? his was the red-hot form team yet he found a way to stay defensive 60% of the game. this is just his style - look @ Chelsea against Moyes' United @ Old Trafford last season - what was he adapting to? his team only came up to play football @ Stamford Bridge when Moyes has been shown up to be a biitch.

he has good management skills, I'm not taking nothing away from him, but he's always in shells against teams perceived to have equal or better strength - we shouldn't expect anything else from him this weekend!

united were the defendingchampions then....
they had just destroyed a good swansea side 4-1 on the back of winning the community shield. we were still feared as at the time chelsea came to OT. he did the right thing by not getting trounced. he was away from home to the champions.

so what do you expect?
go gung-ho against a team that have got better strength? how did we play against barca over 2 legs in 07/08? would you have preferred gung-ho football only to get beat 4-0 in both legs?

Elampiro n Coogar make una no vex; uno no get work? D argument is getting boring!

Oh! dats good to hear.

Our game against Chelsea looks more likely a draw game

what line up will you opt for? assume Mourinho deploys Zouma & Matic in DM with Ramirez on the right wing, how do you think we can counter that tactically?

I have a 'ritual' I do recently for days before our games and it has been working perfectly. Coogar has to beg me to commence this difficult ritual ASAP, otherwise Jones back pass meets Hazard......

i won't beg you....
the earlier jones screws up, the better for me. i hope his back pass meets hazard so that van gaal can sell him to real sociedad.

Same line up. No change.




Any news from anyone on Carrick?

I personally hope LVG won't change anything
We'll play just like anyother team and we'll get the win.

Well whatever answer I give here you would disagree with. So I'm not sure there is any point giving you a serious response.
