I won't mind a 433 of Martial Lukaku Rashidi with midfield of Fellaini Matic Herrera.

It's very easy to play Martial, Rashford and Ukaku but Mou insist on a dull attack.

Ukaku was isolated and looked frustrated all day till Lingard, Martial and Hererra arrived to inject pace to our attack and he started seeing chances.

Why can't Mourinho see this? Is he fellăting Mhiki or what? I'm confused.

chrisley024:
Surprised no one has blamed Matic today for our midfield problem. Dude has misplaced lots of passes today.

He misplaced some passes. But he can be spared for one average match. Mhiki on the other hand has been shitty for a month

See what Hererra brings. Intensity, pressing and interceptions including incisive passes.

This nigga wasn't a DM till he converted him last season, so why can't Mourinho start him as 10 ahead of that dull Mhiki?

In Hererras few minutes on the pitch, he's won more tackles, and created more chances than foolish Mhiki.


Yet next match Mhiki will start. Thunder will fire Mourinho soon.

Lukaku scores

Keeper denies Martial

Our midfield is just so open.

Lukaku misses.

See wetin Okazaki miss.

SIRcumalot:
knows nothing is too far.

True.

larride:
I don't think it's wise starting both Rash and Martial together in a match. One will have to sit for the other and moreover it seems Martial picked up a knock during our last match. I believe Miki could have rocked the bench if there's anyone that can play the RW (apart from lingard pls ) and Mata deployed as the no 10.

Then Mata should be tried at 10 and Lingard on the wings. Mhiki needs to join our junior team to reset his brain.

Fussbot:
It's not a coincidence we don't control the midfield when Fellaini starts. It's even evident against crystal Palace! He has other qualities fine, but should never start ahead of Herrera in any football match. It's condescending

Mikhi get problem gan.. Thank God Palace lost the match before it even started

He's best as a substitute when we desperately we need a goal. He knows nothing about midfield play.

Leyqute:
It's always hard for Mkhi to flourish whenever the opponent is defending deeply in numbers.

Maybe they'll come out this second half and create spaces for Mkhi to explore. This doesn't guarantee if he'll grab any opportunity he sees though.

The guy is just lazy. It has nothing to do with deep defending. He can't close people down. Jugging around the pitch in a nonchalant manner.

larride:
Except him to come up with a goal or an assist now to improve his yeye stats. I think Mou is giving him every chance he can get so when he finally decides to give him a permanent seat belt on the bench, fans won't start complaining and shouting Miki up and down. Once Pogba returns and he's still serving this shit, I won't be surprised if Mou bench his ass.

Why should Mou be giving a chance to someone that shouldn't even be on the bench? This is favouritism. Martial suppose dey play ball based on form. I'm pissed mehn.

afrodoc2:
He has his hands full with crystal palace's danger man and he has assisted today.
He is doing ok to me, mikki is the one that has been poor.

Mhiki must be bribing Mou to be constantly starting even when he's been the worst player for over a month.

Mhiki is more useless than the P in psychology in about a month now.

Young is not in this game. He's losing the ball too easily.

Young has been awful this game save for his assist.

Another assist for Young

More goals please. Don't relent!!

Mataaaaaaaaaa

eph12:
Fellaini starts ahead of Herrera again? Na wa o

Na Martial own dey pain me pass.

Greatihex:
raumdeuter, i hope you can see that your claim of always being consistent in an argument here is wrong?

I know you are the one that gave yourself that 1 share. You may still go and click another share with your sleekdot account just to prove me wrong.

raumdeuter:
You are not making any sense. My views are not popular and especially on Hazard. Then you asked that on a Chelsea thread whose posters fellate on Hazard.

Go on the Man utd thread and ask the same question about yourself. Most people wont even respond because you are inconsequential

I don die.

Nigeria at 57. state of the nation?

Vegetable state with no hope of healing. This country is a shithole.

Shout out to those repping the coefficient.
Special mention to the king of coefficient punchlines, our senior colleague afrodoc2.

In related news I think Pep is slowly losing it. Why would he allow Aguero attend a concert in another country just a few days to a big match?
I'm definitely not feeling sorry for him.

Meanwhile another no testing buy is Mendy. But when United bought Schweinsteiger one deranged half-witted mor0n was creaming his thongs. Now city has two medical cases in Gundogan and now Mendy. . .we dey here,in the words of Nihilist Don King

Aguero is not his house help or little child. Players have all the right to travel to anywhere they want as long as it does not stop from attending training sessions or travelling with the squad when needed.

Recently Neymar travelled to UK and hung out with Rita Ora and Co and still made it back in time for the training sessions ahead of Bayern clash. Pep can't police his players. It's no fault of his.

Every manager has their own style of football. Pep and Klopp train their teams to press non stop and win the ball in the opposition half to launch a quick counter. We negate this tactic by playing a long balls and bypass their press. Just because they can't handle our tactic, they spew crap like we play an inferior brand of football. I can't wait for us to get one over these clowns.

Lana1 posted teams with long balls tactics on the Shekpe thread. Guess what? Both teams Pep mentioned play more long balls than us. Pep is high on his baldness!!

Lana1:
Martial posing with De Gea, Bailly and Jones!

LMAO.

I hope he recovers on time for tomorrow's match. This guy deserves a shot at our starting eleven. He's suffered enough on the bench. Mourinho has to play him, even if it means going with 3-5-2 to play both him and Rashford in the same line-up.

airmark:
The way these 'up barka' rats invaded this place, talking about neymar always scoring atm, one would think he scored 14 goals in 14 matches against the team.

The blame goes solely to Hensben for lying publicly about those quotes not Barca fans. You don't lie so brazenly and not get called out on the Sports Section. Messi and Co have done more than what Hazard did on Wednesday night.

That said, Hazard was fantastic against Atletico. It's like he never left to recover from injury. Strong, slippery and amazing with the ball. Atletico had no solution to stop him. But my personal man of the match was Kante. At a point in the first-half I was asking myself, "where the hell is the guy's position?" He's literally everywhere on the pitch, from both wings, to AM, DM; chasing and hounding ATM players. This guy is a robot!!

If Conte leaves today, Kante to me
remains his best piece of business. What a workaholic!!

CapitalCee:
We should aim for a win, but a draw is a good result. If we can also get something from the Benfica away game, and win the two coming home games, then we are heading for the knockouts.

I know we'd aim for a win, so if things doesn't work out as we'd planned, then we can settle for a draw.

What I wouldn't want is aiming for a draw from the get-go which will end up seeing us lose.

Russia stadiums have always been a problem for us. Now we've depleted squad on top of that. I'll gladly settle for a draw and get 3 points in the return leg.

Fussbot:
Mikhi speaks Russian? I'm amazed! I wish I could understand/speak multiple languages like these guys.

He speaks 4 languages.

Matic-Fellaini combo hasn't really be effective so this injury might be a blessing in disguise if Matic-Hererra works out fine.

Russia grounds have always been a thorn on our flesh, and na these kain matches wey fighter Fellaini dey thrive in. Now we've lost him to injury.

Last season these mumu injuries ravaged our team and derailed our campaign, now we've added Pogba and Fellaini to its victims again, 2 important midfielders for us. Someone cannot just enjoy a decent run without injuries knocking on his door.

Well, I trust the lads to grind out a positive result no matter the difficulty they'll face out there. If the lads remain fearless and do their jobs diligently, we'd fine.

If Mhiki can put in an 8/10 performance, I trust Ukaku to score no matter his misses. Mhiki should just supply him with the right passes.

Hoping to see Lingard and Martial given a chance at the wings, they'll inject pace to our attacks.
