Uhm was it not OGS that gave some of these fringe players new contracts?

Oga make Una dead this fallacies of OGS giving players new contract because it's a lie. The only "Fringe players " OGS gave new contract is Mata (2yrs) and recently Matic (3yrs). The likes of Lingard and Jones were not his doing, abeg let us stop pedling this nonsense lies, and continue recycling it, thinking if you repeat it long enough it will become true. That shit started as a banter, and now because it's been around long enough, some people are now looking at it as being true.

Phil Jones especially was given a new contract in February 2019, barely over a month when Ole came and was an interim coach. Contract negotiation does not happen in a month it would have been going on wey before then, meaning OGS was definitely not responsible for that. As an interim manager, he has no power to do such when you don't know if they will permanent your deal.
So please let's stop this nonsense narrative. It has been circulated for long and people with short memory are now seeing it as being true

Roland17:
Dayo what are you guys even saying? So just because it is competitive sport, players can just walk up to a female official and make contact as they please? What are arguing about here for Christ sakes! In the NBA, players get a technicial for making contacts with referees worth more that kind of extended contact that makes the other person uncomfortable! Come on now!!

The last time I check, this is football and it is not yet a crime to touch a referee, as long as you are not assaulting him physically. Also FIFA didnt have any rule against it either.

Roland17:
Comments like this are the reasons women misinterpret the intentions of men in different spheres of life, mostly as suppressive. The rule about making contact with officials is clear and the sort of contact Aguero made while without any ill intention crosses the line if it makes her uncomfortable.

A male/male contact is entirely different from a male/female contact. A female referee will not make that kind of contact with a male player so why should a player do that to a female.

This will only make the female officials to be pushed out of officiating male games.

You can't be living near an oven and be complaining of heat. Otherwise make each gender officiate their respective games


They are only including women in men's games officiating to give them experience .

In men's matches, where tensions are high, adrenaline pumping and increased hormonal rush, I. a heated match, all this touching will always happen, and it has nothing to do with suppression, because those things are natural reflex reaction for them.

Everyone arguing for or against Pogba being flop is not to be blamed. The real enemy here is Mourinho, who left us with a lot of expensive flops on very high wage bill. The f*cker is currently doing the same to Tottenham By the time he leaves them, they will know the problem he has put them into, and also he will divide their fans too

olabode89:
We messed up, Fergie would have gotten him for around 50M after his 2nd season anytime after that point and Levy would be asking for 100M.

Even at 100M, Baba will still push for him because for a player like Kane , in this spoilt Transfer fee era, 100M is not too much to pay for Harry Kane who is still young and would have given like 7 or more years to the team. Have you guys forgotten we bought a 29year old RVP with one year left on his contract for 36M in 2012. For that time, it was like overpaying for someone that will be a free agent in 6 months. Yet Baba still buy am.

Expert17:
They want Martial as top 9

Ferguson for don buy am(Kane) tey tey.

SAF doesn't joke with having prolific goal scorers that can give at least 20 league goals a season. Even if he doesn't buy defenders, but that Striker position ehn, he doesn't joke with it

nitrogen:
It's clear that you have issues with his fees. Meanwhile, the club has extended his contract by one year, why now?

Oga , the club activated that one year option, because there is a possibility of getting some money out of him if the likes of Madrid come around .

Why didn't they offer him new contract if the club actually fancied having for more time

afrodoc2:
Pogba was not a 10 as a youth player, he wasn’t a 10 in Juve, he does not play as a 10 for France.

When he was used as a 10 for a short period under JM he struggled to get involved in games and people said he had to be played in a deeper role so that he can influence games.

Now you are saying he should be moved back again to 10?

They want Pogba that likes slowing games down with excessive dribbles to play 10

A position that you'll have very little space to work with, so you'll need to be fast , think fast, because when the ball gets to you , it's always in the opposing area where you are easily closed down. If Pogba plays Bruno role, Una go curse am las las

His real role is in the deep or as a CM. It's just that Ole wants quick passing and movements, but Pogba won't give you that and he can't chase ball when we are on the back foot like the way Mctominay, Fred or Bruno dey chase players like thief

Early last season, a match like Yesterday's match couldn't have been an easy draw, because we had a shitty bench that can't influence or change a game.

Imagine we were substituting Lingard for Perriera .

e be things

mostob:
Were those players bought as direct replacement? How much game time were given to them?

Dey there and be giving excuses for underwhelming players. After how many years in a club and you couldn't secure a permanent squad membership or even get bought by any of the numerous clubs you were loaned to. It can only point to one thing, that you've not been up to standard.

I used to have the same school of thought about a Porto conspiracy against our players , but never again.

jihday:
Only won 1 aerial duel out of 7? That's poor IMO

I've already said it before, if you're tall like palm tree, it doesn't mean you will be good aerially. Aerial threat is not about height but how you impose yourself.

Calvert Lewin, Osimhen, Kane etc, are football average heights, but they have a lot of aerial presence than someone like Onuachu wey tall like iroko tree

Subzero047:
Osimhen is probably better in the air than Onuachu

True. Look at the way he was bringing down every long balls , either for himself or for his wingers.
It got to a stage that he was the only target for every long balls because his teammates trusts his aerial ability and knows he will always get to the end of it.

andrewbaba44:
He needs that to score 25 goals per season , There is nothing wrong in football selfishness okay, which one be right way, you think say football na office work ?

You are selfish doesnt mean you dont play the game the right way

Osimhen is not playing for barca or mancity, arsenal where players are not selfish

Saido mane is selfish, mohammed salah is selfish, and the last time i checked this players have won their club the epl title and champions league and even also golden boot

Salah and Mane selfishness cost Liverpool the title 2 seasons ago if you remember. It didn't affect them last season because their main rival, Man city was shit, so they literarily strolled to the tittle.

So don't tell me selfishness doesn't cost the teams. It's too early into the season , but if Napoli wingers continue with the trend in more games, I'm sure Gattuso will caution them, because the teams success is more important than anybody's personal glory

Subzero047:
The thing is Osimhen's movement draws a lot of defenders and if an attacker sees a space to pass or shoot he will likely shoot

But like you said Osimhen's goals will surely come

Osimhen has Excellent off the ball movement, which gives his team mates space to operate.

Chai. See the way Gattuso was happy for him. I'm glad he has a good relationship with his coach

andrewbaba44:
Osimhen should also learn how to be selfish too

He should behave like Cr7 biko

You see say na him determination and hard work make am score that goal today, if not he would just have a good game without a goal

Osimhen doesn't know how to play selfish though, that's not part of his game, I've watched enough of his games to see it. Messi is not selfish, but he scores a lot of goals as Ronaldo who is selfish.

Styles differs. Even when he was in Lille, Bamba, Ikone dem are usually selfish, he still outscore them. His goals will definitely come.

patrickmuf:
Calvert Lewin 8s good in the air but he is still an average player. Martial is way better than him...

This is where good tactically sound coach comes in.

Lewin is being played to his strength, thereby making him look like prime Van histeroy .

Everton midfield is being overan but the coach adapted to the game by switching to long balls and good wing play, thereby getting a result.

But our own coach will cross leg and be watching iPad when your tactics has been found out without anyway of changing or adapting.

DExponential:
Rubentus just carry 3 points waka

Me sef now see the reason why Juve was hustling for free points.

I now see the reason why Juve was hustling for free 3 points. They knew they won't be able to handle Napoli on a norms. Good thing Napoli have appealed the decision sha. Juve must play that match o, I want to see something

Angelfrost:
A tree doesn't make a bloody forest!!! Van Dijk is human, was always likely gonna get injured! Klopp ought to have gotten a back up in that position...

.And, what was he thinking not scooping up Romero from Old Trafford! He would have done the needful in the stead of Alisson.

@Bolded. Man utd will never sell to Liverpool to further strengthen them. Everton even came with a loan bid, Man utd rejected, so what makes you think they will sell to a title contender?

Why do you think Romero's wife came on Twitter to accuse Man utd of holding her husband hostage and refusing to let him leave? That was because Man utd don't want to sell him to an EPL team, despite 2 bids coming from the EPL. Aston villa came for him but because we didn't sell, that was why they went for Arsenal's Martinez

.

Subzero047:
The way those guys score goals is alarming

I'm surprised nobody has put out a report on their philosophy

That team is crazy though. No matter how good your team or its backline is, them go still penetrate you with goals. You can only beat them by outscoring them, and not by defending well

Chillwell is overpriced too

50 freaking million

How can you say Chilwell is overpriced at 50m. When as a Man utd fan, we have an overpriced tackle merchant of the same price in our team.

Gbh4 DAYS AGO

According to a report I have seen Saka has been dismissed from the England team due to Southgate describing him as a striker and as such was unlikely to play due to the number of players of greater ability in front of him.

Has anyone heard anything, it has been a shock that Niles is regarded as being a better prospect for England.

Saka was given no favours in the England match as the player behind constantly chose to send the ball to the other side of the pitch.

There is a perception within the games reporters and managers, that, despite beating the top two English teams and giving gritty performances ,that Arsenal and it's players are sub standard ,and that teams who's players have lost games by numerous goals,are somehow better than Arsenal's. Saka is a prime example, he was not regarded by the other players as part of the team.

Culled
Sky Sports

I noticed this also and wondered if they had an issue with Saka being in the team. They just refused to pass the ball any where near him.

This is part of the issues Africans face when the opt for countries not their own.

You people just like to unnecessarily pull the race card.
This has nothing to do with his African heritage or being black, it's just the coach(Southgate) being clueless on his team selections and how to use the players.
What will you now say about Grealish. Shebi Grealish is black too ba. Pleased, let's learn to stop pulling the race card unnecessarily when things don't go our way, it's now loosing substance, and people won't take the real victims of racism serious anymore, cos they will tag them alarmists, because others have abused it

I'm not a political party apologist.. So, my point is not about using voting power to bring him down during election.

I'm talking about pure radical activism, public confrontation, open questioning, kicking against lawless policies, etc.. Waiting for election is a waste of time when you already have the power to change ugly situations now..

That's how cowards acts.. One of the well known traits of a coward is procastination and the oppressors are quite aware of it..

What about election rigging? Sir, let's forget about 2023 for now. Let us all face NOW..

-Mark this! Tinubu's time is ending already.. Instead of God's word to fail, let heaven and earth quench..

True. Na their boys go still write election results
So may be this is the only way

Wolgrace:
While the masses are experiment of the political games right? See, its a choice and decision.. Lagosians chose what they are today, and they can decide to change it. Unfortunately, cowards are wired not to react or choose or decide, so its not a political magic..

I won't say Lagosians are cowards. Let's just say Tinubu time Neva reach. Although , the fact that elections in Lagos for APC is now getting tighter unlike previously that it used to be a landslide win. So it's getting closer. The next one or two election cycle will change things for APC in Lagos.
