e go reach our turn to play Norwich now, Ole will now make Norwich look like prime Ac Milan and we will struggle to beat them 2-1 or 3-2 after coming back from 1 goal down, with Ronaldo scoring the winner.

Gary Neville will now come and defend his mate by blaming the players or telling us how Pogba wasn't running at 90mph, that's why we struggle. Idiotic failures



Make them sack OLe abeg.

Joezinho:
I heard upon Stam's publication of Head To Head, his book and in the book he revealed private information that could have been damaging to United & was highly critical of individual players, the Neville brothers in particular.

He was in London playing for the Dutch national team when the book was released via tabloid serial. Upon his return he was summoned to SAF's office for the “hairdryer treatment”.

While Stam was driving home afterwards, SAF called him & told him to wait at a gas station for him. When Ferguson arrived, he told him he'd been sold to Lazio. Like that..

But what we officially heard was Stam was coming back from a serious injury, United received a good offer and they decided to sell on selling the player as being the best move for everyone involved.

One of fergie's biggest problem is he always put his own ego first, he dismissed some of his best players..According to him, nobody’s bigger than the club. Which actually meant nobody’s bigger than ME.

While Manchester United got a lot of money for Ronaldo they would have won more UCL had they kept him. Beckham, Stam, Nistelrooy had many good years ahead in their careers when they left the club.

Chai. That Man

Selling your best player for non footballing reasons when they can be easily resolved.

Keane might be a crazy guy, but I have a feeling that he's not entirely at fault when he had issues with sir Alex which led to him leaving eventually. I'm sure Sir Alex too get him own for hand
It just happened that Keane
is one of those crazy guys that don't tolerate shit from people no matter who those people are.

I guess that's the human side of Sir Alex. He's not perfect so I'll just let it pass.

Most of our real life heroes have one or two ugly dark side to their personalities. We will just have to make do with their good sides

FirstbornWds:
Ehmmm. The last ranking saw the likes of Netherland Ersteville top the likes of Ligue 1.... Are you tryna tell us that they did better than the Ligue 1 teams?


Let's take that you are right sef... The Ligue 1 teams performing well cannot be away from Leo's contribution by winning EPL heavyweight and you know, the panelka style kinda.

So you see... GOAT effect is still very much the case.

You clearly don't know how the League coefficient rankings are done. So I'll just stop engaging you at this point

Joezinho:
Vidic was never as quick, could never play the ball like Stam and could not last as long as Stam.

Stam clearly had impressive longevity something which Vidic did not have clearly shown in his latter stages of his United career and his disastrous Inter Milan spell.

Stam was still performing exceptionally well at Lazio and Ac Milan in which he was almost in his mid thirties. Vidic retired at age 34 in which center backs should stil be able to contribute at a respectable level.

Stam is the greatest defender ever to play in the EPL..

But Ferguson is useless sha. Why did he sell him?

After reading about Some of his decisions regarding player sales and Aquisitions Post 1999 treble , I had to believe that he was the main reason why we didn't win at least 2 more UCL trophies between 1999 and 2008.

It was no coincidence that his decisions was why we ended up having defensive problems within those periods. And he crowned it all with the Glazers in 2005.

FirstbornWds:
Abeg who can confirm this news before I start to gloat "GOAT effect."?

Even if it's true. I hope you know that the coefficient ranking us usually calculated using performance in European competitions by clubs from the leagues. Not because PsG signed Messi?

You better calm down

Oasis007:


Bruno Fernandes: "We believe in our coach and our staff. We need to do what the coach tells us because our coach is the maximum exponent of what we must respect."

You wonder why Lads are playing like Academy Players, especially in the U12 Category? Here you have it.

This even makes me to respect Bruno more.

Lol. Bruno is a proper professional. Dude just respects his coach , even though he knows deep down the coach is shit. But he doesn't mind and still follows his instructions.

Illimitable:
Jaap Stam
John Terry
Rio Ferdinand
Steve Bruce
Gary Pallister

Vidic is in the top 10, nowhere the greatest.

I stopped taking this post seriously the moment you rated Ferdinand above Vidic.

Oasis007:
OGS on Rashford 'injury'. "Dead leg, sometimes take longer than you want. If we treat it well, he should be OK."


So Dr. Rash is injured again?

Rash will be fine. He ran too much today. Something he hasn't done for 3 months. It's normal for him to be fatigued like that.

If you play football and stopped for like 6 months and you wake up one day and play. You won't like yourself for like a week because your leg will be practically useless after the intense work out.

Rashford playing at this intensity for the first time in 2-3 months will make him have dead leg.

But after one or two matches like this, he'll be fine.

patrickmuf:
If you were close to me, I am certain you'd be bleeding because I for knack you 2 x 2 plank...

The midfield combination that you are suggesting as part of the problem, who selected the players? Is it not the same Ole?

When last did you hear Chelsea fans talking about Rudiger's timberland shoes? Tuchel happened...

Rudiger, Alonso, Azpi and even Kepa have looked entirely different from the players we saw under Lampard...A bad coach will have you questioning seasoned professionals...

We have 3 problems at Manchester United;

1. Ole

2. Ole

3. Ole...

#SackTheBasterd

Are you minding those people that like to blame players everytime?

The same Lampard almost sold Kante, a two time EPL winner and their best CM for the past 3 years because the foolish coach believed the guy was finished.

popizaino:
Every honest discerning fan knows this, only those fans whose thinking has been manipulated by that Bayern Munich fan think otherwise.

Lucky for Chelsea fans, the people that run your club are one of the most objective and ruthless decision makers in football administration. They don't do sentiments and nostalgia, so they won't be convinced into bringing back an unproductive Hazard.
Their success in turning Chelsea into the most successful club in the 2000s was not because they were making sentimental decisions, but because they've always been ruthless in player and coaches hirings



Honestly, as a man united fan, I'm jealous because I know that no club legend or media or anyone can influence them into making sentimental decisions like it is the case it Man united

Danielnino00:
In other news, CAF have opened up bids for television rights ahead of the AFCON for the sub-saharan Africa region.. I think north Africa already has beIN sports...

Let's hope supersport get the right again... they are the only capable ones in sub-saharan Africa anyway...

Lol.

How did you manage to forget about Startimes.

They are also a credible competitor for the bidding

F outta my mention dumbo
Argentina no fit win Small Iceland that their players are part-time footballer?
Your Friendlyssi went AWOL on that day

The guy even missed a penalty that day.

GrammarNazi1:
You mean those pseudo footballers who always allow Tapinaldo have his favourite teas: penalty and tap ins!

Try get sense na!

Funny enough. Messi had a penalty against Iceland and missed (not that he's new to missing crucial Penalties though)

chloride6:
Someone needs to go to court and establish the legal amount of ATM cards that can be found on your person, because I no understand.

Not when those ATM cards don't carry you legal name and it has different names on them. Then you become an object of suspicion and subsequently investigation

I'm sure you can own thousands of ATM cards, as long as they are yours. And there is no law against that.

patrickmuf:
Hopefully Fati will turn out well for them...Their football is beautiful to watch but sometime it gets boring because they don't work the opponent goalie enough...

Exactly

They don't have the players to cause problems.

It's not a coincidence that half of them play for midtable teams. The few that plays for top teams are not exactly world beaters. So they can't produce world class performance in the final third in terms of initiative and individual brilliance that world class players will give you from time to time.

Having world class players is a reason why France can be shit all game and still win games because they have players that can provide something out of nothing.

patrickmuf:
Probably down to the fact that they don't have an out and out number 9...

Exactly. Compared to other teams, they don't have an established goal scorer. And to add to their woes, they don't have a goal scoring midfielder as well. So they are left with the few goals that guys like Torres, Morata and Oyzarval guy scores once in a blue moon.



All their midfielders can't score even if their lifes depend on it. The likes of Pedri, KOKe , Gavi, Busquets, Merino et Al are not goal scoring midfielders, they are just good at passing the ball around without causing damage the way a KDB, Bruno, Pogba, or Havertz for Germany will cause damage in terms of goal threat.

In other words, they lack one or two world class players in midfield and Attack to make the work of the coach perfect.

They are just the Brighton of national teams at the moment. good coach with beautiful football but lack the players that can give them the edge against the big boys who boast of quality players.

andrewbaba44:
I am giving my point by seeing a 34 year old gervinho on that ivorian starting 11, i guess you cant comprehend .

My post is for people who knows football, because if you do you wont be asking nwakaeme to replace who

Is any of samuel kalu or moses simon better than nwakaeme ?? answer this first

Gervinho is a long standing member of the Ivory coast team. Who also has experience and tonnes of caps on his belt. He will always get invited by their coach as long as he's fit , available for selections and not retired from the team. He's like what Musa and Ighalo was before he retires from the team. No matter what anyone says, those two would always get invited as long as available and not retired no matter what anyone says.

Don't compare Gervinho to Nwakaeme abeg. The circumstance for both of the aren't the same.

TheGoodJoe:

The way the Spanish players hold onto the ball when players are pressing them is mind-blowing. They have so mastered the art of keeping the ball.

They are really brilliant.

And that technic has somehow filtered into their women's team, with Barcelona women pioneering it.

Surebaba01:
I hate long balls with passion

Nothing wrong with long balls, as long as it's with intent and it finds it's target. It's a way if switching play very fast and it helps catch opponents unaware.

Liverpool plays long balls every time, with Arnold and Van Dyke switching passes.

Long balls are usually bad to the eyes if they are always played aimlessly with no one in particular just like we did yesterday

Kog45:
Rohr is not a hot cake in coaching biz that's just it.

You don't have to be hot cake. Even worse coaches than Rohr won't accept this kind of treatment. Even some of our own home based coaches won't

Rohr probably took the Nigerian Job personal and it's more than money to him.

If we sack Rohr today, he'll get a lot of job offers in Africa within the next 3 to 6 months. Even some top west African team will hire him.
He's not done badly with us, and he's CV so far is not bad.

SenatePresdo:
I tire, Telegram is far better.

I wish WhatsApp could be down for like 1 month, so that people would swoop into Telegram.

And they would find it very difficult to leave later..

Nsukabag will just buy telegram . The guy is a demon.

Ibime:
Only on a Governmental level eg a Saudi Prince. That's because of the strategic interest of USA in Saudi. The Saudis will promise to keep that Prince under check and they may let him go. A regular citizen like Nasco wafers man can't buy his way out of that.

I think the guy helped fund the mosque not knowing what the mosque guys are doing, and cleared his name later. Just like many Muslims pay salat to Syria charities that find its way into jihadist hands unbeknownst to them.

Why if he has links to someone deep inside Saudi Govt that probably did him a favor, or what if himself has some top secret information he used to bargain his way out of the situation

Ibime:
That can't be right. You can't buy your way out of sponsoring terrorism

You can buy your way out of anything. It only depends on the type of currency you have to offer and the value of it to whoever wants it.

It is definitely not money, but top secret Intel might be used in exchange .


The same USA that was releasing Talibans in their hundreds between last year and this year. It all depends in interest and what they really want from the person. it's not all black and white

humility33:
Me too

Napoli are not playing their A game it seems Florentina is having a upper hand

To be fair they won't play every game well. There will be games like this once in a while.

Their ability to grind out results when they are not playing well is what will determine whether they are ready to win the scudetto

Singapore1:
Grealish can never reach sterling level if he continue playing like this

Sterling far na.

He won't reach Rashford Level.

Rashford will resume mid October and will still outscore hum by seasons end. The guy just like falling down like idiot.

He appears to be sh't because referees are no more penalizing contacts any more, he's now looking like a fool with those unnecessary falling down, because refs don't give a damn anymore

maik99:
good point but kinda obvious really
of course you have to beat a good number of the 19 opponents throughout the season to win the league
not a SAF thingy

True

And a good number of the 19 opponents are the mid table / small teams.

Even if you manage to beat the big boys, we aren't getting anywhere with those little points we will get from them compared to the small teams


We got 4 points from City last season and it didn't even affect them one bit, that's because they got the points they need from those small teams which is enough to win the league or at least get you to over 85 points

slimghost:
Chelsea are title contenders

The moment we start dispatching small teams is when we will be serious about winning league.

That is where the points are.

Sir Alex during his time usually loose against bug teams like Chelsea and Liverpool occasionally but he wins the league by beating the small teams silly.

By the time Sir Alex drop point against any big team, it will become meaningless because the gap has been established already. That was why he had so many league titles.

Any Season he lost the league by a fine margin was usually because of some bad games against some small teams were he dropped points unnecessarily , even if they lost to a big team, e.g the 2011/2012 season and the 2009/2010

Joezinho:
We are a terribly coached team. That's pathetic.

5 points dropped at home in 2 games... Smh..

We bought a world class defender and our defensive worse is still there.

Who says we won't still be shitty if Ole gets a DM.

All these points to Ole being a terrible coach.

Our structure has always been the problem and not necessarily the personnel. It's impossible to have world class players in all positions.

Joezinho:
Good coaching can overcome that. Trippier wasn't very reliable at defending but Simeone made him very good...

The defensively suspect talk sef, na cap.

He won't be playing for Stoke or Burnley, he'll be playing for a big club like United, where his attacking output is needed more against teams that will play defensive throughout games.

Na because of this kind of talk that made us end up with bums like Wan Bissaka and a McFred in midfield, yet we still conceed goals like water
SMH

Joezinho:
Ole Gollum the failure always says dumb things when things aren't going well. Remember losing to a poor Bournemouth and he said after it was a match between two good defensive sides.

Bournemouth were leaking goals all the season.

Dumbest coach ever liveth..

Solskjaer is Like Buhari. They are very difficult to defend.

Defend them today concerning an issue, by tomorrow, they will lower the bar even further with their incompetence

Oasis007:


Current Squad Bruh.

You'll be surprised at how good this squad is, if only they get a competent gafar
