Stormtrooper11: 3-0 lol super falcons is bullsh*t. First half. Damn. See how two Nigerian defenders jammed head together and fell down chasing the ball to the post. So embarrassing.
Let's pretend as if we didn't see this shit coming after that woeful 2018 AWCON performance and the shambolic World cup afterwards
Even Fred get YouTube compilations that will make him look like prime Pirlo
But on a serious, I'm not Comparing Verrati with Ndombele.
Verrati is good in his own right but the point o was making was that Pogba is head and shoulders above him when it comes to passing, hence why I support tye combined 11 someone dropped, where Pogba gets the nod ahead of him
iamoyindamola: Stupid decision to bring in noble just for PK Some coach sef
Not necessarily.
All the former takers have missed 3 out of their last four penalties. Noble on the other hand hasn't missed any in his career. So Moyes decision, even though it didn't pay off, wasn't out of place

TheLequte: There will be games where we’ll drop points but that doesn’t mean we should put up a tepid display.
If Southampton had played with more spirit like they did today maybe we wouldn’t have equalized.
How we lose games/dropped points is quite important. The lackadaisical attitude we display when we drop points has been a recurring occurrence. Only the coach is to blame for that.
Our opponent can be tough or soft but the important thing is we must always be tough, especially against those tough opponents. We have to create chances, force fouls in dangerous areas, etc. That’s how to score against tough opponents. Sadly, we’re often toothless against those type of tough opponents.
West Ham beckons.
Lol.
We were far from lackadaisical against Southampton. We played well in that game, we just didn't convert our chances, especially in the first half.
Incidentally, the mat h against wolves was the one in which we were sh*t and it was the one that we won. Sometimes this things are not straight forward.
If anything, based on the performances in the two games, we more than did enough to win against Southampton, and we more than did enough to loose against Wolves. Those games were weird as f*Ck

ojasweb: Good for them. Nothing bad in this because both genders are being rewarded for their work.
This will back fire for the girls in the long run.
Their old model was better but Greed wants to finish them.
Imagine getting paid guaranteed over 100k a year as a national team player whether you play or not. With additional bonus like housing, health care during injuries, paid maternity leave and extra bonus after tournaments.
Well, this new model will see them earn higher fee on a pay per game basis because their match bonus will be higher per game. But if they don't get called up , they don't get paid, meaning their FA can be able to punish any player they don't like by not calling them up and it won't have any financial impact because only those who get called up, gets match bonus.
Unlike before where they still get paid even if they don't play, so their FA doesn't have a choice but to call them up whenever fit.
Timi45: These tech Giants are used to litigation and fines.
Sometimes ago, Samsung wanted to release their own OS but Google somehow managed to prevail knowing that Samsung holds the the largest share of smartphone market in the world.
Samsung are probably behind the fine. They probably lobby their government into sanctioning google
Illimitable: So why did he sign Ighalo after losing Haaland to Dortmund?
Bro we had no strikers at all then after Rashford got injured in the middle of January.
I mean, to even play Carabao cup were we will need a back up , we no get. Ighalo was meant to be a 6 months back up till season end. Stop bringing up ighalo, except you want to troll.
Expert17: Transfer rumors that linked us to Trippier during the transfer window, make sense now.
For now, we can start Dalot against low, -blocking teams. At LB, Telles and Shaw can cross so well.
It's obvious now that solskjaer knows the places he needs to strengthen but circumstance is not favorable for now in filling those places.
He wanted Rice obviously and he's not settling for someone that won't be an upgrade to McFred or Matic in DM position, hence he's not signing alternatives.
Athletico didn't want to sell Trippier so better make do with what we have
KingAlabi: Yeah the improvement in our passing was real good and encouraging. Newcastle will definitely play this way against City, not sure of others.
Bruno goal was a long while I have seen Bruno free to take a shot from that position without been rushed or closed down quickly.
Bruno's space to shoot was a side effect of playing lowblocks. Everyone is Concentred on defending the Box, thereby giving space to deep playmakers to do what they like outside the box.
Lana1: I go like see how Newcastle play against other top 6 teams away from home.
But for once I like how we played against a low block. We crossed a lot more and took more long shots. Even Matic attempted shots. None of those aimless passing around the box we used to see before.
Yep. That is how to play against a low block. They did well.
One of those long shots was what opened the flood gate.
Sometimes , you can't really break down a defensive team by just passing around like prime Barcelona.
Set piece, Shooting from range and crossing can distrupt a low block. Ole is learning. But his learning is slow, which can be the fine margin between us and other title contenders, because those ones have good coaches
GentleRay: Nothing the US can do. The US can't afford to go to way with any country at this moment. Where were they when the Russians invaded Crimea?
They couldn't do shit when Russia took Crimea, they were silent when China recently took Hong Kong, They will only wail via their media when China takes Taiwan in future.
The thing is that USA can only bully weak nations but can do shit when it comes to the powerful G7 countries. Know this and know peace
IMAliyu: Taiwan was part of ancient China, and modern Mainland China still thinks it's their territory. Taiwan is/was the home of the political opposition to the CCP, the rebels against the communist troops during the revolution.
China wants all its ancient territory back, thats why they are also harassing Hong Kong which is also another autonomous region.
The US shouldn't really get too involved in this conflict, they can just support the Taiwanese from afar.
They took Hong Kong, despite going against the treaty, they signed with UK when those ones left Hong Kong. The world talked about it for few months, new events came and overshadowed it. They successfully drove out the old government and installed CCP stooges. Everyone has moved on. The west couldn't do shit.
The same will happen to Taiwan.
US will never go to a direct conflict with China over Taiwan, because it belongs to China historically and no matter how immoral it might be, China has a valid claim over the region.
Olulong: Algeria literally won 8-0 on this pitch. I'm not using pitch as an excuse pls
Pitches are judged by how smooth a ball moves on it. Our pitch looks bad and ball movement is equally bad in it. I can bet it with you that the Algerian pitch doesn't make the ball bubbly when moving on it.
melodyogonna: This Ole sha. "Favoritism! James has his nudes! Why does he keep playing useless James?!" Next thing we know, James went from being the manager's favourite to getting shipped out.
ChristineC: be thankful for what you have, and McFred didn't exactly feature in the last game as well. I remember early last season, we scrapped a 2-1 or 3-2 win against a club I can't remember right now (maybe Brighton), and there was littered rhetoric about doom and gloom as usual. United made light work of the same opponent 3-0 only three days later, even fielding a supposed weaker team. these things are not black and white all the time. no team is really perfect. three quality players have been added to a team on the fringes from last season. they deserve a fair crack at the very least.
It was Brighton. The Bruno after Full time penalty that caused wahala in the whole league
We beat the same Brighton 3 days later 3-0 with our second team in the League cup
Ppogbae: All this hotel wahala because the FG and NFF won't invest in a national training center
Baba abeg leave FG out of this jare. The NFF makes enough money to start building a national training center. If they started the Project Like years ago, they for don finish am by now. The annoying part is that no NFF president, past or present is even planning on embarking on such project.
Bunch of vissionless idiots leading us in this country at all levels.
Illimitable: And if he had gotten injured during the testing, Ole would be telling us in Norwegian language that we cannot move him because of his injury.
There was no reason to play James yesterday. We wasted an entire half because of him on the pitch. He was just running around like a happy rabbit.
In another news, there’s now a price war for James. Everton are about to hijack the deal.
I have seen it all in 2021.
James is a counter attacking speed demon. He was useful in his early days when Ole was playing counter attacks against every team, big or small. He became useless the moment we couldn't counter most teams because they began sitting back against us, and this new development required a cerebral winger that can dribble 1v1 without necessarily needing to be a speed demon. It a went downhill from there.
These midtable teams are fighting for him now because he's a very useful player because they won't be facing lowblocks every week.
elampiro: Testing him for the last time. And he failed
This could probably be the reason.
I'm 100% sure Leeds has tabled that offer probably weeks or days. before now and Ole was the person standing in the way in terms of giving his blessings as regards selling him.
How did the club manage to convince Leeds that he's worth that amount, especially in a COVID Market where price has fallen. I guess Bielsa really rates James and wants him at all cost, hence the club is trying to take advantage for once in their life.
Ppogbae: These guys are moving as if the virus has topped spreading. No masks, social distancing, etc. We can't afford to have players to show up and suddenly test positive and miss out on the games.
Most if not all of them are probably vaccinated by now.
Some leagues in Europe are no more doing regular COVID tests any more, unless someone falls sick.
Even in England, EFL championship and lower league are no more doing routine tests, it's only EPL that's still doing for this season.
KingAlabi: Among our back four, only varane had the confidence to pass to Fred, Maguire dey ignore Fred die, he rather boots the ball up front.
I noticed it too. Fred's recklessness in possession has really done a number on our defenders. They are all afraid of passing to him. The last time Maguire tried it, we got eliminated from the FA cup and people blamed Maguire for passing to him instead of Fred that controls ball as if it's lava. Maguire probably hasn't recovered from the PTSD of that incident
