You don't just throw players away like that. Was it not same Tuanzebe that die a job against Mbappe in Paris?

One good game against PSG , and some of you guys think he's world class. Even a dead clock is right twice a day, so the most shit player can have a cracking game once in a while. It doesn't take away the fact that they are not good enough.

This kind of average players from our academies are the ones the club should be using to raise small cash by selling them to mid table teams and championship teams. They will fetch btw 10-20 million for the club in transfer fee. Without Corona, the likes of TFM and Tuanzebe would bring at least 15-20m each . Look at liverpool with the likes of Solanke, Brewster, and Jordon Ibe, They got good money from their sales. Each of those guys got minutes in the first team, and they weren't good Enough up to what Klopp wanted. The club didn't keep them as prospect hoping that they will magically turn to R9 instead they shipped them off to make space for another set of serious players , while making money in the process. I even heard Bournemouth paid like 25m for Solanke just because if liverpool player hype.

My point is that, you don't need an eternity of game time to assess a player.

elrony:
Yeah, exactly why we drew the match: "misfiring Rashford".

We drew this match because of shit defense and not because of Rashford. Even though Rashford finishing is terrible, but our attackers did their job. 3 goals is enough to win any game, even against more superior opponents than Everton

elampiro:
And to think Greenwood has been doing a neat defensive jon in that area of the field

Tuanzebe is a low budget Baily without Baily's tackling sense.

He's tackling are too crude and has poor passing and basic ball control.

I dey talk am in the afternoon that they should cash out on him the first time we get and fill up his space with serious defender.

Some one was busy telling me that he hasn't had enough game time to judge him, as if Man utd is now a mid table club that give player time to develop. It was the same shit that wenger was doing with academy players that made them retained a lot of average players in their team without buying quality players that can challenge for league title, all because the said players are academy products.

Mrviktor:
foolish sub if u ask me...hat guy killed us back to back...


see leicester match
og

see against the blades OG

as i saw him coming on i just knew we were done for..

greenwood was tracking back and chasing the ball..

that was a very foolish sub...

rashford and plenty touches is another problem.. see aguero and one ttime finish... ahhhhhhhhhhhh god.. dis team is frustrating

I knew people will blame Rashford but pls leave him out of it. 3 goals is more than enough to win a game even against the best of opponents. Put the blame on Ole's choice of sub and our defenders.

Our attackers can't score every chance they get , and they've done more than enough by scoring 3 goals

eph12:
Our win is guaranteed if the defence doesn't suffer any brainfart

Like a lot of people have said repeatedly since the season began, we can't win shit with this defense of ours.

3 goals is more than enough to win any game. But it's another story when you have trailers as defenders who can't run to save their lifes.

Put Baily in Maguire's position for the first goal we conceeded, and it would have been any easy defending

SyIvalord:
So I thought teams were supposed to concede without filter after going down to 9 men?
So why couldn’t Southampton score a single goal to at-least get a draw despite playing against 9 men for over 20 minutes?

Anything to discredit Ole and his reds. SMH.

When I said playing against 10 men is more stressful than against a full 11 because a 10-man team usually go into full ultra bus packing mode, one guy here was discrediting it with all manner of jargons excuses.
No matter what the team achieves, some people here are already closed minded about Ole and will say anything to downplay it. Even if Ole eventually manage to win a trophy at the end of the season after trolling him for being a bottler, they will come up with another thing to downplay it. So why are you surprised

ChristineC:
easy for you to say. how many games have you seen Tuanzebe for a fair assessment?
we still have Phil Jones at the club.
TFM is gone, if Tuanzebe goes we'll have Bailly left as back up. that makes totally sense.

Phil Jones issue was a mistake, and everyone including Ed probably knows that. If we keep waiting for these players to "develop", it will keep on getting in the way of us getting proper players in those positions.

Obviously, Tuanzebe will not leave now. But planning to renew his contract like we did Jones (which turned out to be a mistake) will not be a wise move.
The point is that , rather than waiting for them to turn to prime Vidic or Puyol, we can move them on by selling them if they show no sign of development and get an upgrade when available. If not, they'll just be clogging up space in the squad.

afrodoc2:
If he continues being glued to the bench the way he has been he will lose whatever quality he ever had.

Players need to play regularly between ages 20 and 25 so that they can improve and iron out mistakes in their game.

All those one na animal talk. That is why they loan them to get game time for improvement Yet they no improve, some don't even get game time in the clubs they loan them to, just to tell you how average some of them can be when they get loaned to a lower league/club. You can only survive on hype in senior football for so long. Just like TFM, make them sell Tuanzebe. Let's collect whatever transfer fee we get. No be every youth player go make am in the club.

taiwoliu:
how come they concede so much goals? The defence coach has a lot to do ooo

I won't blame them. Virtually all their central defenders are either injured or loaned out. They've been playing make shifts at the back.

Almajirihunter:
All ex service chiefs been appointed as ambassadors, that’s new

Immunity things na. Lol.

Their lives will be miserable if they don't have it because of the various attrocities attributed to them. Tonnes of petitions waiting for them in ICC

eph12:
Lingard had his moments when he played for us. He hasn't done anything new

You dey mind them
I'm sure Woodward is not getting carried away sha, because I'm sure he's going to sell him in the summer. Getting some money off him was the reason the one year option in his contract was triggered. If he did good with Westham, those ones will be happy to pay up

Lana1:
Meanwhile, Lingard to score the winning goal that knocks us out of the FA Cup or not?

Lingard won't play though. He's been cup tied with us. More so, loan players can't play against their parent club in England

Amoto94:
"Twitter is under pressure in India after the country's government ordered the social media company to block accounts that had used a hashtag connected to protests by farmers, or face penalties under Indian law" Source:FT

Lol. Served them right. When they were busy blocking accounts of political opposition in US , with Donald Trump account being the nail in the coffin, they didn't know that they were setting a bad precedent for themselves

My only issue with the whole thing is that innocent people that make their living on Social media could get hit by the crossfire when this social media war against big tech companies starts by various oppressive governments around the world

olabode89:
You no lie sha.. oya make them take 40M + Lingard for Rice.

Na true o. But we no need another midfielder. Na striker we need. We need to go all out for Halaand or a reliable striker like Kane .

olabode89:
8 to 10 M small o... Lingard na England International jare, make them drop at least 15M.

Lol. I know. But Corona don mess up market , coupled with the fact that he only has one year left in his contract.

olabode89:
he is a box to box midfielder.

Yea. He's playing the role of Fellaini like moyes Everton days.

olabode89:
JLings!

Moyes pay up... 17M should be fine

If Woodward knows what he's doing, he better use Lingard to cash out and close his chapter in the club. At all at all, Westham go drop Like 8-10million.

Illimitable:
After your blatant lie that implied he was dumped for the World Cup, you have the nerve to ask me what happened afterwards?

The same goalkeeper that won the last trophy for United is being treated like trash and you are in support of it because of a stupid PE teacher that cannot tell his left from the right.

Even if Ole has found a better goalkeeper, that’s not the way to treat people. If you don’t need him again, let him go. Don’t stall his career for the fun of it. That’s just classless.

Lol. No one is treating him like trash. Man just wants to collect his big money and flex. Even Rojo had to compromise , as per his wages before a deal could be reached with the club he left for.

I remember last summer that Everton wanted him on loan before they bought Olsen, but our guy wasn't willing to take a pay cut. He expects Everton to foot his whole bill which they refused because those ones will still pay Man utd loan fee. All in all, he wasn't ready to be a third goal keeper and wants to leave , meanwhile no meaningful bids came for him that is favourable for the club. But the wife expect the club to let him go for free as if na so dem dey run business.
i'm sure if they run the club that way, it won't be around anymore as we speak.

All in all, united gave him a career , so all this talk about no way to treat him is trash. It was a mutual relationship. Being a second choice united goal keeper was what gave him clout and national team career in the first place.

Illimitable:
He was their number one, he suffered an injury a day after he was named in the 23 man squad.

So after then what happened?

The last time I checked, Ole only stopped playing him in cup semifinals last year 2020, and to the best of my knowledge , he's stopped being Argentina no. 1 way before then. So don't blame his national team misfortune on Ole abeg. Argentina dumped him because they found a better number 1.

His situation is similar to Nigeria national team goalkeeper(Akpeyi). He's not the best of goalkeepers, to have in a decent team, but he's the best they've got at the moment, and they've got no choice. The moment a better option shows up, he got dumped.

Illimitable:
Ole refusing to play him probably demoted him.
He was Argentina’s top goalkeeper when Ole took the job.

This is not true. As at 2018 world cup , Romero wasn't even Argentina no. 1

Ladyhippolyta88:
Nothing special happened in 2016 he barely won I blame the dems for not doing enough and underestimating him they did not this time and he lost and will lose again.
Trump will be irrelevant in months and he is not coming back mark this post.
What I meant by popular vote is that he can never win the support of the majority and if republicans go the way of Qanon they will find it hard to win a national election.Popular votes matter because it goes to show your popularity in as much as it is not relevant in winning the presidency it goes to show whether such candidate and party is political relevant and supported by the majority and the republicans are not.They are a minority party surviving by gerrymandering abd geography which will soon erode with the changing demographics and young voters voting the democrats

GOP is a minority party, yet they grabbed more house seats away from DNC in the last election thereby reducing the majority of the Democrats, with more seats to be taken away from Democrats by 2022 as projected by political analysts. And a party with 50% senate members , yet they are minority?
A party that amassed 75million votes in which the winner had 82million votes is a minority?


Even the DNC won't be stupid enough to sore that nonsense wey you talk. If Trump or GOP are so irrelevant and minute in the scheme of things, I wonder why the DNC are trying to take them out in order to prolong their hold in power, since the DNC can easily beat them in the polls like you stated.

SMH

The Senate does not lose its power to hold an impeachment trial just because the official is no longer in office, Tribe said, in part because it has the authority to disqualify the person from holding future office...i culled that from washinghton post.. You can use google for further clarification.

As far as Trump impeachment is concerned, no one has any clear cut part on how to proceed , as far as their constitution is concerned. All those news paper piece are opinion articles here and there, taking sides. This is one of those situations in law that the law becomes blind. I don't know the term that lawyers call it.

Even though Trump won't be convicted, (Because Democrats won't get the votes they need for that to happen) but assuming it eventually does, na supreme court the case go end. And if those ones should go by the letter of the law, it will be overturned based on lack of jurisdiction and technicalities, as per you can't remove something that is not there.

abimic:
Any President can be impeached whether you currently hold office or not, for past, it would be in his record to have been impeached and you might end up forfeiting all benefits supposed to be accrued to ex-presidents. Let him still be making mouth in his post trump era and not be building bridges.

You can only impeach sitting president na. Can you go and impeach Obama now? Does that make sense to you? What section of the law is that written in the US constitution? Even the Democrats themselves are still at cross roads on how to proceed. They are just using the impeachment talk as a source of distraction from the real issues at hand in their country, like most government do.

Ladyhippolyta88:
Trump is not coming back in 2024 and will be irrelevant in months to come.He has always lost the popular vote and will not even win in 2024 that is if he is not criminally charged before then.

Same arrogance from the opposition brought him to power in 2016, I'm sure the Democrats now know his influence, so they dare not underestimate him again. That is why they are doing everything possible to take him out of the picture all together.

Even the DNC won't open their mouth waaa and boldly say that Trump will become irrelevant in coming months
No dey talk that one for outside, na animal talk.

In addition, popular vote don't do jack shit in US election, the electoral vote is the koko, so him and the Republicans don't care. The majority of recent Republican presidents have been winning the election without popular votes, so e no matter

Truth234:
A lot of you don't understand. House of Representatives impeached him for a second time before he left office. Senate needs to vote as well to uphold all rules of impeachment which includes Trump can not contest or hold a public post again, lose his presidential benefits, etc.

He knows the Senate impeachment is gaining support and with Democrats controlling both lower and upper houses, it could eventually happened. Hence, why he suspended his planned campaign for 2024.

even if by any means, the senate trial did hold, Trump won't be removed because his removal needs to be voted in by 2/3 senate members and not by a simple majority. The Democrats won't get 2/3 members vote, So either way, it's still a waste of time

justosee:
You can't impeach someone who is not occupying any public office.

Trump is no longer immune to prosecution. The best thing to do is charge him to court.

Lol
@bolded , they can't charge him to court because there is nothing to charge him with. If not, they would have done so like before now.

Democrats are just grasping at straws because they know Trump is coming back in 2024, and his supporters are still around and not going anywhere soon. Take out Trump and it will be an easy ride for the Democrats in 2024 because Republicans won't find someone with a strong following than him and the Democrats knows this.

It's one of the reasons majority of the Republicans that supported the impeachment initially are now tracking back one by one. Because he's helping the Democrats to take out Trump would be detrimental to themselves

CapitalCee:
What changed was that Southampton played almost the thw entire match with 10 men. We still are very timid in attack.

Lol, you people are very funny. Let me educate you. Playing against 10 men is even more frustrating than playing against the full 11 . This is because The give you a low block defending and try to hit you on the counter. Scoring against them would be difficult. The fact that we were able to break them down so easily should be praised. Abeg give them their due when they deserve it.

Sniper4real:
The quick release of passes from mcfred is the edge they have over pogba which is helping the team alot

Lol you sef see am. It's one of the reasons OLE don't joke with them in a counter attacking game. The chemistry between them and Bruno when it comes to one touch and move passing is insane.

Jodera:
I mean, I get it's a pk.

But was there any intent of tackle from Luiz. I think this is were var would have intervened.

It's too harsh

It's harsh but it's the rule.
They don't check intent for foul play. Intent only come to play with hand ball

You can mistakenly trip a player to fall, like in luiz case, it's still a foul. The referee don't want to know whether it's intentional or not

Jodera:
I dunno but I don't see it as a red card.

Yellow card and pk yes.

Looking critically at that, Luiz didn't make any challenge. It was even the striker that clip Luiz heel sef.

It's clear you don't know the rules of the game.

The wolves guy was through on goal. David luiz foul is a straight red because he denied the player a direct goal scoring opportunity.

People here talk shit about Shaw and Wan bissaka because if their offensive abilities. Meanwhile both of the created our two biggest chances of the game yesterday, which was wasted by Cavani. Una just silent about it

KingAlabi:
Ole should give Mason a run of game to improve his form, but not martial


Shiiit I read here is deafening

Martial has had shit load of run of games, yet no show. Greenwood is the best we've had at RW in the squad. Yet he's benching him. Make it make sense bro. The few games he's played, he's done well. Yet he's not being given games.
Martial on the other hand, is being giving a run of games with nothing to show for it, infact Rashford is even being sacrificed out of position just to accommodate that guy, still no show
