What is my busness. I have since lost empathy for the citizens of this country. Webl are all responsible for this mess. We put ourselves in it and vehemently resist anything to change the situation.

But I repeat again. Poverty has nothing to do with resources, available or absent. It is a mental state that cannot see the way to create wealth or sustain it. Give them 100 gazillion dollars and nothing will change.

Biggest budgets ever, highest debts everz yet nothing....

They are the ones trying to break him out to make sure he doesn't spill the beans.

Nigerians are not an easy people to govern.

Says a lot about us as a people when our leaders look harried and aged after a few years in government.

My friend, things will be hard in the absence of knowledge. Nigeria will be easy to govern to the person who knows how to. That these people put themselves forward before gaining knowledge of their tasks says so much about the liberties the people give them. Will a lawyer do that before going to court, will a surgeon do that before opening up a body, will a student do that before arriving the examination hall...?

Politics in Nigeria is the only profession/vocation where learning on the job is mandatory, no standards are required and failure is rewarded. That is why we are at the bottom of the world in most indices of life and living.

peterd53:
I guess pep city also play d English DNA in it play abi??

Yes. Amongst all the teams that Pep has coached, City plays at the highest pace. Far higher than the best Barca teams he made.

And if you compare the team he had in his first epl season when he didn't win the league and how it has evolved you realise that pace was the problem thus the dropping of older, slower players like Toure and the retention and extension of a robust wing system that included speedy players like Sterling and now Marhrez.

Yes, every coach from Mourinho, Van Gaal to Scolari changed the way they set up their teams when they came to the Prem. Even typically conservative Italian coaches (the masters of slow, retentive, regressive soccer) such as Mancini and the trio of Chelsea's past Italian coaches all changed their game play in England.

Emery will not he able to play this team the way he played Sevilla or Valencia. It will simply not work and in his learning curve the club will only suffer. The technics he is trying to impose will not work against battle hardened premiership teams especially those who come up from the Championship where teams don't respect names and play each game like a cup finals.

That's why.

I don't see anything inspiring about arse-anal football in totality anymore.

No manager coming from any background in any league in the world has succeeded in imposing a game play which does not have at its DNA the english game of high pace, high intensity.

Emery has tried severally to impose the spanish game play and so far his failure has been glaring. Sheffield is giving him a typical lecture on what the Premiership is all about.

Said it. United have raised their game considerably while Liverpool is very poor. Origi is not competent enough in this game. His first touch is agricultural and the rest of the team save Mane are seriously below par. Too lethargic. United may load more. Their counterattacks are ominous.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Manchester United Vs Liverpool (1 - 1) On 20th October 2019 by Reference(m): 4:44pm On Oct 20, 2019

There's far too much history between these two to make form of any consequence. You can imagine the tigers of Liverpool playing like pussycats while the pussycats of Manchester are roaring early on.

That's why smart money will never punt on these types of matches despite the heavy bankroll obviously available.

The people of that State have no right to pity after they have mortgaged their future just as Nigerians in general have no right to complain today after re-electing a failed Federal government last May.

Right or wrong, if you run from the law anywhere in the world you only make things worse dead or alive. You may not stand a better chance of justice if you stand but when you run you will have exonerated the law from their excesses if true.

Our midfield is shiiit cause when the opponent has the ball,we shift to a 4-5-1 set up.We dont pressurize and this leaves us open to creative players that can play the ball behind the midfield. I think our attack has been reformed a little bit and defensively we are solid even though a lot of work can be done

3 key areas we must work on

Arieal balls - We concede a lot from crosses and dead balls.Our players were completely ball watching for that goal

Midfield - Ndidi is fantastic but nobody is complementing him. Hes always exposed

Tactics - We need to push our wide players out when teams have the ball and we are winning.We cant be winning and allow players all the time in the world to make those passes behind our midfield.Rohr has brought us so far,but i think its time we took that important step forward.We have been in the same position for a while now and that step is needed if we are to really compete

Totally agree. Well done.

Who am I missing?

You are being unfair on Ndidi. What did you expect him to do. The guy in front of him doesn't tackle and has no pace and decisiveness to drive the ball out at turnover.

Moses and Chuks on the wings suffered for that. And you know if Ndidi tackled hard in his zone Brazil has more than enough free kick experts to punish us. That they had only one telling freekick outside the box shows how well composed he was.

Game over. Rohr cost us a better result. A win was indeed possible. The attack was bright, the defence solid but the midfield was a complete sham. We need to develop a natural 10 that will hold and create. Ndidi was far overworked today.

Wirh Rohr we will continue to be a 'nearly' team in tournaments. His game reading skills are questionable and his tactical responses are mediocre. He can be made technical manager of our teams because he's done well in attracting and unearthing new talent but his match day work is...
