Ballzproblem2:
Potter said bad pre-season under tuchel contributed to poor form.



true

Be agreeing with his excuse.

Coaches like potter will never stop giving excuse for failing. They will always have one reason or the other that usually makes sense when you hear it. They don't take responsibility.

He probably couldn't find qualified workers in Texas.

Or may be California government saw that Tesla leaving the state was a massive loss to them and convinced Elon to return probably by offering his company some perks.

Trevor012:
This agenda nor follow. UEFA nor send you to finish 2nd or Barca to drop into Europa. Why will Uefa want one of the biggest team in the competition to leave as early as before the round of 16 there by decreasing the so called viewership in the process? If they were actually fixing the draws they will seperate all the big teams till the semis.

Hmmm

Another angle

Cyberrex:
I'm suspecting it's juve against arsenal, uel needs the big game for viewership reasons

Just like they did whit united and barka

I suspect the same thing too.

The funniest thing is that before that Play off draw last year, a lot of Barca and Man united fans predicted that draw due to UEFA wanting some viewership for the play off, and it happened.

If not for Barca- Man UTD match, most people don't give a fxck about Europa league play off or round of 16

Ppogbae:
Fellow thread members, a young boy tried to dress as Osimhen recently.

Is this racist? Is the use of blackface appropriate here?

Context matters.

In this context, he's idolizing his football role model. Even though some ultra woke people will see it as too much, but as a moderate like myself, I'll let it pass

charlesemeka85:
yea he speaks well

Normally, if you finish secondary school, I mean you really attend the School and you are average at a minimum, you'll be able to speak well. Secondary school is where you're taught to speak good English. Nobody teach you shit, in terms of English language in the university, after your 1st semester 100level English 101, which is not even as deep as what you've learnt in secondary School

It's one of the reason why people who speak shut English by the time they finish Secondary school, usually carry it on till they finish university because there is no prospect of any correction. Except few people who for personal reasons try to personally develop themselves

ChristineC:
Ten Hag is going to sign both Weghorst and Sabitzer if their parent clubs don't make unrealistic demands.

aside talent, a manager like Ten Hag doesn't joke with commitment. he's the kind of guy that will reward commitment as much as he will talent. a prime example is wan Bissaka this season.

that's why players like Martial and Henderson are done.

Reminds me of Sir Alex.

A 70% of Sir Alex squad every season is full of average players like that who are hardworking on the pitch and understand their role in the team, the remaining 30% is for talented players, above average players with 2 or 3 world class players, which is usually in the foward position.

One of the reasons Guardiola rejected the Man UTD job. Apart from the fact that half of the players are Old and finished, a lot of the team has too much of average players for his liking

eph12:
Well I hope they know what they're doing

Bruno will be fine. Man has been averaging 50 games per season since God knows when.

patrickmuf:
De Gea deserves a new deal...Nottingham should pay 30m for Henderson.

Whether De gea extends his contract or not, we should be selling and cashing out on Henderson either way. Henderson is not good enough to be our 1st choice.

We'll need to buy a new goalkeeper to replace him and hopefully the new goalkeeper benches de gea on merit.

eph12:
Is it Bruno that's refusing to be rested?

From what I heard, the answer is yes.

He doesn't want it. It's been like that since under Ole.

ETH has rotated every player and position well enough, except Bruno.

Borntosmoke:
Can't just imagine Ronaldo playing with this rashford form . Man u will be so brutal but eth no use sense Wella to handle the situation.

Wrong.

Ronaldo wasn't scoring. He's basically in Weghost situation in terms of wastefulness. The only difference was that He wasn't doing the hard work like Werghost, which effectively affected the shape and structure of the team. If Ronaldo was humble (I can't blame him if he wasn't. CR7 na big man), ETH would have played him till he got his form back, just like what he's doing with Werghost.

Just watch, Werghost will eventually start scoring, which could even help us towards the end of the season in our push for title

akwesenana:
Chelshit rush pay 120m for emzor make the money no expire for their hand.

May be na old naira note Chelsea dey spend

Quickly rush and dispose all the money in the transfer . market to beat emefiele deadline

Expert17:
If he loses possession people go complain na, so he prefers to keep the ball lmao

That pass was worth losing possession for tbh.

Just make it.

One thing Bruno has over a lot of Attacking midfielders not named KDB. He takes a lot of risks

That shit that weghorst did there was what Mason Mount do on a regular that usually make Chelsea fans curse him a lot He doesn't take risk when such opportunities present itself

Danielnino00:
At this point, I'm glad Oshoala isn't here.... With this rubbish Randy is doing, she would have struggled and attract insults from Nigerians or worse, pick up another injury...

I feel Oshoala is tactically avoiding Randy with all her recent unexplained absence from the team. And rightly so. That fool if a coach will just spoil her rep

I wonder why big teams recently became lazy and stopped going to Eastern Europe leagues and co to scout for good players like old times.

Napoli just casually went to Georgian league and bought Kvara guy for 12m euros, came into a top league in a top club directly and just casually blowing everyone away as if he's been there for ages.

Man Utd used to do it before. I wonder why they stopped (Woodward is one if the reasons sha). Our scouting network brought us the likes of Vidic, Chicharito and co for little to nothing who became supers stars.

What the likes of Brighton and Co are doing in terms of scouting is nothing new. Big clubs usually do it on a regular in the past. Most of them just got lazy and stopped.

TrebleChamp:
Sancho is useless at United or maybe EPL, he should be sent back to Dortmund on loan with them paying half his wages....

And some foolish fans want us to send Greenwood away for scrubs like Sancho, just to satisfy their moral hypocrisy. Another potential world class players from the academy after Rashford.
Foolish fans. Greenwood will comeback next season and will still outscore those useless scrubs that call themselves footballers 🤷

👍😁

Borntosmoke:
When it is not oragnised by those qatari frauds. . What do you expect??.

So FIFA club world cup from 2025 will compose of 32 teams.

UEFA is increasing the champions league to 48 teams from 2024.

Both of them coordinated the attacks to stop the super league from happening because this will essentially stop European clubs in participating in those two competitions.

So UEFA and FIFA are essentially fighting for their pocket and not the integrity of the game like they claimed when the issue came out.

Interesting 😁

European football clubs are massively shortchanging themselves. They can create an NBA styled franchise with the Super league, where they share all the profits among themselves, just like it's been happening in the premier league.



Also, who knows if the likes of Perez that are pushing the super league wants to make UEFA to negotiate and start sharing the bulk of the TV rights revenue with the clubs , instead of giving them peanuts.

JohnBullMySon:
I believe it is best to have as many good players as possible. Female footballers can suddenly close their playing career, lose form or another thing.

Or Get pregnant. It's getting common this days, especially with new FIFA rules that mandates the clubs to pay the players their full wages in the period of their pregnancy.

Watch out for this space. There will be a lot of rise in cases of pregnancies in few years to come.

BascoVanVeli:
Barcelona should loan Vicky Lopez and stop this nonsense

The definitely will but not yet time for that. She's still 16 and they will do that when she probably turns 18. She's still with Spain U17 sef just to tell you that she's still a toddler . LoL

From the trend I've seen in Spain, they don't rush young players up the developmental ladder. They let th.take their time.

She will follow the same developmental route as Claudia Pina. Pina also made her 1st team debut at 15 I. 2016 or so, from La masia. She was a part player for the 1st team too before she eventually got loaned to Sevilla when she was 18/19 yrs. She immediately tore the league apart with her performance.

chrisley024:
For Malacia matter, let me hold it until after next season. I hope we didn't get another Jones; all brawn and no brain

Bro. There's no downside to the Malacia Transfer. He's strong and can run and play for EPL clubs that play kick and rush. We bought him for 15m and his wages is super cheap in case we need to sell.

The deal will be like Daniel James deal. Any time we get a better alternative in future(if the guy does develop more) and we decide to sell, we will make profit from his sales just like Daniel James, because with his experience as a Man Utd player, he'll easily go for 20/25/30m.

So I'm fine with the guy. More so, he's a back up player.

BannedLarge:
One thing that I have realized is that when you do a good job, you have open doors for others. Look at how genk immediately replaced Onuachu with Tolu. Fellas, where ever you find yourself, ensure to realize that you’re a representation of yourself, family and others considering how well you perform and strive to put in the best possible performance. When Napoli sell Osimehn, best believe they will be in a look out for another Nigerian

Look at Oshoala Moving to Spain in 2019 when few to no Africans were playing there.

Her exploit has opened up the door for Nigerians and a lot of Africans alike in the league, up to the extent that they even sign our old players (Onome Ebi) without even having her to undergo a trial.

That is what being a good ambassador is all about👍

Leyqute:
Mason Greenwood don add Man United and Nike back to his Instagram bio.

Afrodoc, are you keeping tabs?

I've told the people that cared to listen, both offline and online that Greenwood is not going anywhere. The club didn't professionally handle the case just to cut him loose after he's been cleared of all charges. It just doesn't makes sense.
If they wanted to cut him loose, the best time to do that was during the heat of the incident. He's on a cheap salary 50-75k I think and they could have afford to pay him off, but they didn't. They probably know more about the issue than the public.

He'll be here by the start of next season and he'll play for us again

Kimbeast:
Yes the structure and scout are the ones doing team tactics, formation and pattern of play. I guess Manchester United CEO and scouts are
the reason United are playing better compared to last season.

Potter left, and the got another coach who is equally good, if not better. Potter and his guys didn't own or build the structure and scouting network at Brighton.

Brighton just like Brentford, have built a data driven scouting system and structure that will transcend whoever is coaching them. If anything, Potter benefited from that system, and people thought he was some kind of scouting genius. It was that faux reputation that got him and his goons from Brighton the Chelsea job. Obviously, we now know it was never down to him.

Kimbeast:
De Zerbi is enjoying the good structure and foundation Potter built over the years at Brighton.

The fact that Potter and all his so called guys at Brighton left with him shows that Potter never built shit. It was all down to the decision makers at the top in the club who built the structure.

The fact that Chelsea are just signing players randomly without direction even confirms that

Leyqute:
Even when he was off form, he was our best finisher and striker.

Don’t take MG11 for granted.

Let's not forget he started the season well last season scoring goals , same with Bruno who scored a hat trick in our first game. Every thing changed after CR7 joined around September/October.

Even Bruno of all people was no longer scoring any longer then. It was no coincidence bruv

nateevs:
Correct me if I am wrong. I thought in the UK, the CPS can carry on a case on behalf of the state in the face of overwhelming evidence.

Yes and they actually did. As evidenced by the fact that the girl has withdrew the case since early last year, but they carried on with the investigation anyway.

But what was in the press release from CPS that the fake Twitter moralist refuse to see was the part that said that new evidence came up, which made their chances of getting conviction to be slim, was also why they dropped the case.

Youngzero2:
I think the club is solidly behind the boy which is good for his confidence and recovery.Macunian from birth

The club practically raised the guy. They watched him grow from a baby till now. They weren't just going to throw him away without giving him a second chance at redemption. Apart from being a Mancunian by birth and blood, he's also obviously talented and he's proved the talent in a big stage. If the second chance works out, the club is looking at a potential world class striker that will last for at least 10 years.

jihday:
I doubt United will reintegrate him

Dey play

Club wey no get money to spend on another 100m player. They never had an intention of buying a striker. The plan was to fully integrate Greenwood into the CF position, not until what happened last year happened.
Now that the legal nonsense is out of the way, they'll probably go back to that plan.

Borntosmoke:
If you don't watch football eenh!! No be life u comeooo. . See massive joy on my face. Happy for the guy. It is not easy. But it will be hard for the boy to perform beacuse I don't think he can handle the amount of banters he go dey recieve everyday

The focus should be in his physical fitness. As for the mental aspect, that boy is f*cking fearless bruv. He doesn't care what people say about him.

Remember when we bought Ronaldo last season, the other players, Rashford, Lingard and co. where sucking up to Ronaldo's ass, but he's the only person that didn't give a fxck and played his own natural game. If others in the team were like him mentality wise last season, the damage won't have been as bad. The urge to satisfy Ronaldo and suck his dick by majority of guys in the team resulted in us playing all ball to Ronaldo last season as well as early this season.

The reasin why Erik is successful is because he's actually a good coach who could recognize team patterns and problems. He was the one that saw the counterproductiveness of Ronaldo in the team and did something about it.

AndSunGorilla:
Manure might just try to cancel Greenwood, eventhough charges have been dropped he still has some baggage in my opinion.

LoL. He's not going anywhere bruv. If they had any intention of cutting him loose, it would have been don since last year when the saga came out. There is no sense in doing it now when he's now legally a free man with charges dropped. The club has invested too much in that guy to just let him go. He was practically raised by the club since he was a toddler.

The highest that will happen is twitter and online wailing from few people, that won't even last one week till another thing takes the focus away

Lana1:
He can be frustrating most times but these defence splitting passes is why managers will always keep Bruno around. But if ETH finds someone who is as good as Bruno with these passes and is better at orchestrating play without giving the ball away too much, then he should not hesitate to bench Bruno

The problem is that, where do you find some like that.

There's barely any AM in the market today that's close to Bruno, nevermind being an upgrade.

eph12:
No two ways about it. We have to spend if we want to become dominant.

Some of the fan base and twitter fan accounts just ranting about academy player are just living in their own fantasy. When clubs with the best academy, who dominate academy level sef struggle to break in players into their first team. The few ones that got in turn out mediocre.
