He was suffering from the AWB syndrome. AWB has the same difficulty whenever he faces wingbacks.

The Portuguese manager messed up. He should have changed formation at half time. He made the German LWB look like the new coming of Roberto Carlos.

I won't blame semedo. Both silvas were not tracking back the way Jota was tracking back to help his full backs on the other side. Semedo was always isolated and his wing is always overloaded because of those two midget silvas in the first and second halves.

Wing backs are always difficult to track by defenders if your wingers are not assisting.

Defending Is a team Job and Portugal did a terrible job of it. Even their sitting two midfielders that was suppose to provide defensive solidity were shit, for players who were supposed to be defensive minded

Gary Neville: England's performance had nothing to do with tactics or selection

Be like "cluelessness" is part of the Manyoo DNA

Gary Neville that is mad. He'll always defend you as a coach, as long as you're his buddy. The werey keeps attacking the Man utd owners for killing the club meanwhile those ones have spent more than everyone in the league except city who spent higher marginally. But he'll refuse to attack the clueless Ole who has spent as much as Mourinho with nothing to show for it unlike Mourinho who won something with the club.

I disliked him more after the Super league saga where he kept attacking the owners of those clubs as if the clubs are charity who don't want to make profit.

donstan18:
90% of national team managers are very terrible.

That is why they are national team managers. Most clubs are not foolish enough to entrust them with their multi million dollars investments.

KingAlabi:

You know bidding war doesn't mean the player is a better player right?

Bruno comes to mind.

Bruno's case was even worse. They were passing him around like used rag. Spurs wanted to sign him but they couldn't because they wanted a loan with an option to Buy but Sporting wanted an outright sale, even man utd was pricing him like fish. We eventually got him out if desperation mid season.

So I agree with you. A player that there was no bidding war over doesn't mean the player isn't good. It just happens.

KingAlabi:

The video make me smile jare, see how he drop it after the storm.

That is how it suppose to be.
Not like the fool called Rashford, started posting nonsense immediately after the loss when tension was high and people's emotions were running wild.

Illimitable:
Southgate is taking 4 Right backs to Euros?

Wan-Bissaka isn’t even in the picture so if he’s not among the best 3 English right backs, what the heck is he doing at Man Utd?

Lingard was dropped but an unfit Maguire made the cut. Jordan Henderson hasn’t been fit for Liverpool in months but he made the squad.

I hope Southgate knows what’s he doing. Rashford confessed to be carrying an injury but he somehow made the squad because he’s feeding poor children in England.

The mumu coach is allowing the Media to do coaching job for him.

Las las , they won't pass RO16, highest quarter finals if they do well.

Illimitable:
Winners win, losers will always look for excuses.

Rashford just dey yarn dust since that Wednesday night, after stinking up the joint and playing nonsense.

He always have things to say, when sometimes a simple silence can help. That Charity thing, is now getting to his head. Make the guy sha calm down before he starts getting sucked by politicians into propaganda.

Debroslink:


It's been over 2 years I've been calling De Gea a pussy. I trust Enrique not to play him at the Euros.

He hasn't been playing him for some months now. Enrique is not a fool. He knows his job

This is clearly on Ole.

You delayed sub, and I was even thinking the guy will remove De Gea for Henderson for the shoot out, instead he left a guy that hasn't saved one single penalty in 5 years. Like WTF!!!!

Henderson has saved like 8 penalties since 2018 yet you didn't sub him in.


I still remember 2019 when sarri subbed of f Kepa for Caballero in the Semi final Europa league then.

Ole has dis not only cost us the match the idiot has finally destroyed the little that is left of De Gea career. The little confidence he has is probably gone now

hensben:
So martial was not invited by France for the third time, where grand pa Giroud who is a bench warmer at Chelsea is still getting invitation.

To be fair, injury bleeped him up this time as it was evident that Deschamps wanted to call him. He gave the reasons that Martial won't be match fit before the competition because he's been out injured for a long time. Infact it was this Marcus Thuram guy that took Martial spot, and not Giroud

Trippier, another Tottenham mate with Kane is the latest player to win a trophy after leaving Madrid. And you tell me why Kane won't go berserk for Daniel Levy , so that he can leave Spurs

Leyqute:


Please if you’re yet to graduate from the uni don’t treat your project thesis the way you treated that post- incoherent, illogical and failed to address any of the points raised.

You must be fun at weed joints.

I'm just thinking about the Harry Kane situation at spurs and it got me thinking that some players that like showing some blind loyalties to their boyhood clubs who aren't necessarily big clubs are foolish.

I wonder what made Harry Kane sign that 6 years contract after the world cup in 2018. The mumu could have ran down his contract and left for a big team where not only will he win trophies, he will also earn as much, if not more than the salary he was offered at spurs to sign an extension.

Jack grealish too foolishly did the same thing last year, signing 7 years contract. He'll probably be in harry Kane's shoes in 2 or 3 years time after he's had a lot of individual acheivements without trophies at Villa.

handelex:
Yes it's too much. The mileage is on the high side and probably no resale value in 3-4 years.

Kane's deal is similar to the Eden Hazard kind of a deal. Both of them are on the high mileage side of things. If sh*t goes sideways, you are left with a deadwood with little or no resale value, gulping a humongous wage bill

BlueRayDick:
Werner found himself in the same position as Tielsman twice or more in the game, he chose to either balloon the ball out of the pitch, play a weak shot or shoot at the back of Leicester defenders.

Somehow Chelsea fans believe Kepa cost them the match

It doesn't matter . Even if Werner hits it on target from a similar position like Telemans, he's not beating Schmeichel from that kind of distance . Schmeichel is not Kepa bros

TalabiAudu:





Lol. I swear this guy is the funniest footballer ever

His style of play is not clean, smooth or aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, but he's always effective and gets the jobs done both attack and defense.

Leyqute:


Not totally a bad decision. Amad can still come good. VDB too. Maybe not under Ole tho.

It's a bad decision. Those players are luxury players you buy and loan. Especially Amad and the Uruguayan guy. We don't have enough actual wingers, especially Right wing, but Ed went for a player that hasn't play full match of senior football. What is the sense in that.

VDB is also a surplus in the team, we never needed him. Even when some if our midfielders got injured in the middle of the season, he still never got enough game time just to show for surplus he was in the team. Another 40m wasted .

Illimitable:


The funds Woodward gave Ole to sign players should have gone to Jose.

United would have won the league by now. Ole is daft, his subs rarely make sense. What was Matic coming to do on the pitch with 5 minutes to go?

He knew Liverpool are press-addicts and he couldn’t tell his defenders to stop building from the back. We just played into Klopp’s hands over and over again.

Klopp knew United’s defenders aren’t press-resistant. He knows if he applies a bit of pressure on them, they would lose the ball. Fred lost it and Shaw also lost it when he should be booting the ball forward.

Ed that is mad.

The players Jose asked for he didn't give him.He ended up buying the same players after he sacked him.

I don't know why Ed kept repeating the same mistakes. He's even doing it with solksjær even though Solskjaer might not be a top coach. Money wey he suppose use buy Sancho that Solskjaer asked for, he went to use it to buy two pointless teenage wingers for a little over 30million, as well as a van de beek that Solskjaer never needed for a whooping 40 million.

Waste of funds

handelex:
I don't see the club selling Henderson unless there's a monumental fvckup from him or another Manager comes who doesn't fancy him.

It doesn't matter whether we sell Henderson. If Ole was a top coach that wants succes instead of top 4 and being a yes man, he will ask for a new goalkeeper. But we all know it won't happen.

I'm not a fan of Mourinho but one thing about him is that he knows how to detect a problem. I remember 2017/2018 season when De Gea won Golden glove because of the highest number of cleansheet we had and we came second in the league. Mourinho knew that it wasn't because we had a good defense but for the super human performance of degea that season. He still asked for a defender then. I remember him requesting for Maguire then. What did that foolish Ed did, the werey went to buy 50million Fred that the coach did not ask for and we didn't need that season. We all know what happened that season.

Even though Ole is clueless too. But if he had gotten his targets in Sancho, instead of buying some teenage wingers, and had somehow given him Halaand last year January, may be Ole could have done better this season.

Joezinho:


Onana is not better than Abiodun Baruwa..

He's just an example.

I remember Chelsea despite breaking a transfer record for a goal keeper, despite the goal keeper messing up, they didn't allow the money involved to affect their judgement. They got to work and got a new goalkeeper. Without giving a f*ck about Kepa's transfer fee.

elampiro:


He can. He needs to be reassured. The coaching crew should give him more freedom, because if they try to make him stay on his line more, he might be confused. I noticed he is now shy of coming out or indecisive which could be input from the bench. But this forced adjustment will cause him more confusion

Then all this is down to Ole .

Even Ole himself has a share of the blame. Individually , out defenders are not bad. But as a group our defensive organization is outrageous.

handelex:
Seriously eh... Wahala no dey finish

Na so na. Even sir Alex changes goal keeper like pants then. Untill he hit jackpot with a 35year Old Van der Sar.

Donaruma is out of contract at Milan we can try to get him. A lot of other decent ones are out there like Onana of Ajax, Ajax can give us for less than 30million. But switching between Henderson and De Gea won't do us any good.

Even though we can't sell De Gea, But Henderson is very sellable to accommodate the new signing.

Henderson can't be our No. 1 if we seriously want to compete for the league. De Gea himself also is past it. If the club is serious, we should get another goal keeper. There are a lot of decent ones in Spain and Germany, who won't cost last 30 to 40 million. Also, Ole need to work on the defensive organization of this team. All in all, a bad defense won't win you trophies, no matter how good your attack is. Sir Alex knows this that is why he changed goalkeepers all the time till he got Van Der Sar and also spends well on Defenders.

Lana1:
This one no be excuse.

So better contingencies couldn't be put in place to cover any issues that may have come up at their training ground?
If an earthquake sweeps through Carrington today shouldn't alternatives be put in place?

It's not that easy because of this Covid issue of a thing. They can't just be using the same bathroom , toilet , changing room etc without breaking the FA and UK Covid guidelines. Everything had to be separated . If there was no Covid. they will just divide the facilities easily.

So they gave them tents for changing room, provided them with mobile toilets and their bathroom was a little bit at a distance. You can't blame them, it was impromptu.

I'm not a fan of the board, but no be everything we go blame them for. Even the cliff was due to be renovated last year, but they had to postpone it because of Covid affected finances

olabode89:


You know what's up jare.

She bottled top 3, that's a fact. Although they had couple of injuries. Solid investments were made in the playing team in the past season too. Hopefully a more experienced manager us brought in. For those who don't know the women's team is a token and kinda parasitic to the club as they are mostlikely operating at a loss.

@Bolded. That's very true. Even when the Glazers first came , they had to scrap it because it wasn't profitable and they brought it back now because it wasn't good for the club's image not to have a women's team because them feminists were beginning to talk.

Same with real Madrid that just had to buy an existing women's team in their Spanish league just to have a women's team for Image and PR purpose

If Ole get the kind support wey she get, may be we for don win league now.

With all the players she got, they probably had a gentleman agreement with her that she must make top 3 for champions league qualifications.

Lana1:
One of the many reasons why Casey Stoney left the women's team. The way every aspect of this club is being run is a disgrace...

This one na just emotional blackmail from her English people. . She bottled top 3 finish, Her cup run was attrocious too. They probably let her go to bring in someone more experienced.


She's been in the team for 4 years, all of a sudden, the team no get facilities? Bull crap.

What happened was that their training ground at Cliff had issues, they were moved to Carrington in the middle of the season, but due to Covid protocols, they can't share the same bathroom, toilet and Changing facilities bwith the Men's team, so most of their Bathroom , toilet and Co. we're make shift due to the fact that it was unplanned in the middle of the season. Na wetin media dey blow out of proportion

JayKayMaybachz:
Leaked #MUFC starting lineup vs Leicester tonight:

De Gea, Williams, Bailly, Tuanzebe, Telles, Matic, van de Beek, Mata, Amad, Greenwood, Elanga

Klopp go curse ole o

Because we are basically giving Leicester the game at the expense of Liverpool entering top 4

Is there something they are not telling the masses. Nigeria is not normally an efficient or pro-active country.

The question should be, is there anything the world leaders and UN are not telling us about this Virus?

Danielnino00:


Gbam!!!
You have said it all.. I'm surprised that Pinnick and his colleagues from WAFU allowed this nonsense to go on for so long until it extended to the women senior team.

Imagine, out of the 24 teams heading to the AFCON,only 2 from COSAFA zone qualified...12 from WAFU!

Pinnick is stupid. That one is not interested in football development in the country, he's busy looking after himself, contesting for every CAF and FIFA executive positions he can lay his hand on.

Imagine they implement that useless zoning for Afcon qualifiers, better west African teams will start loosing out.

And na that Ahmad Ahmad start that nonsense because he wants to help his East African friends qualify for CAF tournaments through backdoor

Danielnino00:


Just saw the draw..
CAF have definitely gone crazy..
How is it West Africa's fault that the rest of the continent (especially southern Africa) suck so bad at football that they have to introduce zoning just to give them the chance to qualify for tournaments??

This method of qualifications is very bad. it's not merit based and encourages mediocrity. Zoning won't improve competition, it will only encourage mediocrity.

Imagine the Men's National teams qualifiers being done via zoning, countries like SA won't have problem qualifying because of their weak zone, meanwhile they are shit and could not qualify based on the current merit based system of random draws.

Now west African countries with better teams won't qualify.

Zoning from CAF might not be a bad idea if they actually took into consideration the strength of different zones by allocating more slot to the stronger zones(West and North Africa) and giving lesser slots to the weak zones, this way , the weak zones compete fearlessly for the slots, while at the same time the representative from those zones will put in a better fight in the competition because they got there via a rigorous hard work in the qualifiers.

The CAF zoning system became flawed immediately they started giving every zone equal slots . I might still accept it for underaged competition, but doing it for the women's senior teams is very wrong. When the likes of Cotedivoire, Ghana , Eauitorial Guinea or Nigeria who are one of the strongests in the continent don't make the tourney because they've knocked themselves out during the WAFU zone qualifiers, then you'll be left with shitty teams.

This will not improve the women's game, infact it will further draw it back

FIFA that allocates competition slots based on the strength each Confederations instead of giving every continents equal slots knows what they are doing and are not stupid.

We in Africa just know how to copy good innovations from the white men in the wrong way with wrong implementation. Na curse ?

olabode89:


That's why I said they bottled the top 3 position finish. losing 5 games in that league is unforgivable. It was more unforgivable that they lost 3 games to the other teams below them.

Lol. To be fair, they had injuries to the key players that were killing games for them at the start of the season.

The moment those players got injured, they lost back to back games, and before they got their mojo back , the damage has been done.
