Right now, breaking into top 4 should be the only thing on our minds. All that can come after!

We will win the league with 10points gap

elampiro:
Even both have 5 long passes each and Jones completed more % of his long passes.

We have to be patient for these players to play many matches in the new set up. Before Ole played his first match, people already listed Valencia, Matic, Fellaini, Jones, Young, Lingard, Lukaku, Mata to be sold. I think they are trying to justify their suggestions by highlighting every mistake made by these guys.

I have told you guys before, when you see a coach plays two central defenders with same foot (righted foot CDs in this case) and one is made to play in the opposite side in the RCB & LCB arrangement, the coach actually thinks that one is the stronger or better. The exception is be that the other defender cannot do anything at all with his other foot. But that is not the case here, because Linderlof is the better footballer between the two.

Since SAF, Jones has been made to play on the left almost all the time when paired with another right footer. Last weekend, Bailly started on the right and Lindelof on the left. Bailley got sent off late and Jones finished from the right. One would have thought that Jones would continue from the right, but the coaches re-arranged. Linderlof made three great mistakes that day. Two could have resulted to easy goals. One a missed header inside the box without any iota pressure. I think it was Bailly who quickly reacted to the dropped ball.

To me, I have to wait and see more about these players.

Look at what u are saying. Na everytime defender dey win headers for his box? It's funny how u are listing Lindelof mistakes but u seem to leave out how Jones had a brain aneurysm and almost gifted Newcastle a free goal yesterday. Fortunately for him he recovered well and made a nice tackle. Still, thank God he didn't concede a penalty with that tackle like he did with Hazard in the FA Cup final.

Lindelof has been solid since OGS took over and he barely makes mistakes. But with Jones on the other hand, we are guaranteed at least one brainfart every game and an own goal about every 5 games.

Chelsea and Arsenal are in good form, especially Chelsea but the Gap is getting closer so the possibility is there.

Guy, I am just happy we playing football again.

I remember the real fan fake fan era and just smile

elampiro:
I am talking on the options we have and their current form, consistency and game maturity.

Yeah and I don't think most supporters would argue about that but if we're to get back to being a force, we will need to do better

I'm sure getting top 4 was not really part of the target when OGS was given the job.
It was probably to salvage the season and get the team playing good football again while leaving the negative tactics of Mourinho behind.

2 weeks and 4 straight wins and 11 points has reduced to 6. How we play against Spurs will determine if that possibility has a chance of becoming a reality

Same. Since 4th no longer plays qualifiers, i will be ok with a 4th place finish after the torrid season we've had to endure.

After Spurs, we play Brighton, Burnley, Leicester and Fulham so regardless of our result vs Spurs, we still have a potential 12 points staring us in the face.
That's why I said if we beat Spurs, we have to start dreaming.

elampiro:
I tire for them o. The truth is, with scores at 0-0, we looked more vulnerable on Luke Shaw side. It was like a matter of time before one of the run behind him got well utilized. Most of the crosses from the right were stamped against Valencia's body in only his first game.

Now this is not true. Atsu or what is name was having fun in that side.

By the way I'm not impressed at how Newcastle had a lot of shots even with limited time on the ball. They caused a couple of problems, too much for a team that was dominated

elampiro:
Linderlof actually won 1 tackle. Who composed this kind of stat.

He did very well though, but again he was moved to RCB after a very poor outing in LCB last weekend.

Even Jones that they said did not play well, also won 1 tackle.
Linderlof 0 interception. Jones 2 interceptions won. I actually saw those two times he intercepted after Shaw had been displaced. But I don't know if people do not watch ball as I do. Jones still had the highest pass accuracy in the game apart from Lingard who had 100%

Lindelof is the best ball playing centre back, that is not disputable. But at the moment he is now where near our best centre back if everyone is playing at their best with fitness.

Which of the stats you quoted is wrong?

Lindelof had most clearance
He has most Aerial duels won
2 Chance created
He’s also the most rated defender on the pitch last night. What exactly did you not agree with?

True. Hopefully, Chelsea and Arsenal go help us drop points too

At this point, it's a case of do your bid and watch how things unfold, if we keep winning, our chances are high.
We need to make light work of Reading and go all out to eat Spurs as a win at Wembley will see other teams approach games against us like Newcastle did yesterday...That fear factor is priceless, it means you win games before taking to the field of play.

Arsenal and Chelsea have some tough fixtures coming up, in the next 2 weeks, they meet at the Emirates... We need to capitalize on their every slip.

I felt Pogba was off last night and the stats confirmed it. I guess Jonjo and some more players were placed on him through out, because he not only had low amount of passes but even with that his pass accuracy was just too low compared to his midfield partners. Glad others could step up

so you're counting pass accuracy for someone that had just two passes?

Lindelof was up against Rondon yesterday in most occasions and he did fine.
The bolded holds no water...

This is why a team shouldn't revolve around one player. When one of the star men is having an off day, others should be able to step up.

Na why i dey pray make person help me give Hazard FC one small 3 weeks make he use am hold body this new year

Jonjo should've gotten a red there. The ref was awful yesterday.

that guy with his head really looking like jonjo is a dingbat. he always attempt career-threatening tackles against Man United players. little wonder he can no longer even make the first eleven for a team like Newcastle.

Its perfectly understandable why elampiro and nyabinghi would want to turn United to old people's home and have Valencia continue at RB.
Wetin una expect from people that wanted Schweinsteiger and Rooney to continue till they were in crutches and rolling around in a wheelchair??

When we should be binning old and underperforming players let's keep holding on to them. The exact same thing that got us into our current state when all our good players like Vidic, Ferdinand, Scholes, etc. begin old finish

digging your posts is a sheer waste of my precious time, Rooney has since left United and the struggles continued, your messiah mourinho has since been sent packing and i am back at united. valencia played just one game and you have termed him useless.

kokaneprodigy:
Nyabinghi is back for good

yes o, i kept my words when their special fraud was hired.

afrodoc2:
Which kain logic be this? Attributing a clean sheet to a full back who plays on one end of the defence, not even a CB or a GK.

Bros, correlation does not imply causation.

it is sheer tomfoolery to write off a pro based on just one game after a lay off, It needs sense to get my deep points.It cant be bought.

olril17:
he is done.

he isnt done, you guys blame all players from time to time so i am not suprised.if i dig up posts, you will find out the level of hypocrisy on this part of nairaland.

Its too early in 2019 to be crying.
Digging my posts is a waste of time because you wont find anything there. I'm not a flip-flopping plastic fan that jumps ship regardless of the situation of the club.
Welcome back. Hopefully u wont run away again all in the name of i hate the manager.

NB: Valencia has been shīt since u dropped ur graduation pics
