Yoruba leaders are those people who fought for democracy and June 12. Where were these set of people when Dele Momodu, Dr Fayemi and Prof Soyinka were airing "Kudirat Radio"?, or the time when people like Pastor Tunde Bakare including Dele Momodu marched on the street of Abuja so that GEJ can be installed as the acting President of Nigeria?. When such people talk, we listen to them, because they aren't selfish!.

elampiro:
This toxic inputer doesn't know that:

* Smalling has not been playing as right back. So the stat is screwed.
* Smalling has played more percentage of his matches in a four man defence while Jones has played more in three man defence.

* Yet Jones has intercepts more and has more tackles (per mins).




Some people don't just know ball.

Dadehmola:
When he came on, we had Valencia, young, rojo and jones, so How e con take be 3-4-1-2??

I want to believe shaw was injured because that sub no make sense at all. Young shoulda come on for fellaini or di Maria instead

chrisley024:
I will say we should just ditch the 2 strikers. It makes the midfield overloaded against us which disconnects our midfield from the 2 strikers upfront.

And it is not like we've a 'Scholes' or 'Xavi' that can hold the ball well

chrisley024:
I am just confused on that seriously. I guess this is more psychological or should we play with a lone striker when away.

chrisley024:
What do you expect me to say. Atleast there in the mid, he's doing sth instead of going missing in a game(same thing we've been slating RvP for)

coogar:
when van persie returns, rooney will go back to the midfield. he didn't do anything special tonight in the striking position.

chrisley024:
Rooney should abeg come back to the midfield atleast we'll be seeing his long balls to the right rather than me asking if he's still on the pitch when he's upfront. I'd rather keep Fellaini there

coogar:
what's the difference?
he offered nothing in the attack - from the same central midfield position, herrera scored again tonight.

what's the excuse?

coogar:
another goal-line clearance from young!

rooney should go back to the midfield. he's not better than wilson in the striking position. one shot on target from a penalty kick in 90 mins against a league one side?

pathetic!!

coogar:
i doubt it.....

i think the line up would be.....

----------------DDG---------------
-valencia--smalling--rojo--shaw-
------------daley blind------------
-------fellaini-----di maria--------
-------------herrera---------------
--------rooney-----falcao---------

you can swap herrera for fellaini or di maria for fellaini. however, that should be strategy to get the best output from the team.



mata, januzaj should be using this kinda games to get game time.



this is a cup tie.....
away from home in a very hostile ground. it's a potential banana skin. i fear games like this much more than facing chelsea or PSG. where was bradford when they killed chelsea? are bradford a premier league side?

afrodoc2:
Its not by just runs, even Eddy Dombraye made runs. Falcao made his name with his clinical and confident finishing, sharpness in front of goal and assured link up with his team mates. All these have deserted him and those runs you alluded to are now much slower than in his Atletico days. I am not saying he should not get his chance as a lone striker but he needs to line up behind those he met on the queue.

The first thing to sort out is formation, is it 2 strikers or 1 striker. Then the line up can be settled.
1) 1 striker i would choose RVP then Wilson then Falcao

2) 2 strikers, several combos but never RVP with Falcao....they are both as dynamic as Olumo rock

coogar:
on the contrary, i would get rooney out of the team. play falcao or RVP as a lone striker & have mata/herrera in the hole and the performance would super-improve.

coogar:
rooney shouldn't be in the team.
his captainship is the reason he makes the team according to van gaal. that was why i keep saying he's jack of all trade, master of none.

coogar:
rooney is not better than RVP/falcao in the striking position. don't let the british media pull wool over your eyes. rooney does not understand the centre forward position.

elampiro:
LVG wants to finish in top 4. How he does it is his utmost worry now, not transition. Transition can wait.

elampiro:
We were also playing rubbish when Blind was around.

elampiro:
SailorXY, the boss has explained and spoken. He corroborated my stance that our midfield has shielded the defenders better since Rooney went there.


Louis van Gaal praised the performance of Wayne Rooney, who had to drop into a deep midfield role against Burnley on Wednesday.
Used primarily as a forward throughout his career so far, Rooney's withdrawn position under Van Gaal has led to criticism by some but the manager does not agree.
"I have to look for the better balance and I think until now because of Rooney we have a better balance in midfield, I was very pleased how he replaced Daley Blind in the number six position.
"He showed composure and of course he was also today the Rooney that I want to see but he has showed that he can play in every position.
"Maybe he can better play in a striker's position but then I have a problem in midfield."

I want to believe that you read the title of the post before you commented and that you don't lack basic comprehension skills, if not that your conscience has been sold to buhari.

Let me repeat it to you again "Did buhari lie under oath?

Don't beat about the bush or attack the author.

Faraidi:
this was why I always repeat that APC supporters are illiterates,you said because Buhari is a soldier he will only speak when he want to? Are we still in the military era? No wonder people still believe that Buhari is still a dictator..You also said GEJ is not a PHD holder,ur statement only show u diden't attend tertiary institution.Because if u do,you would know that before they can call someone a Dr the person must have completed his PHD.MUGU
