Just huffing and puffing as usual, Let them play Barcelona, Chelsea, Real or Bayern and watch them moaning as usual

i think they'll beat Real and Bayern

2-1 for UTD

hmm
i think Arsenal are better than last season oh

but can they beat Barca and Chelsea? cos they have to undo those teams to have any realistic chance of winning it

i see them playing in finals sha . If they play Real/Bayern Munich or Inter in the final, they might just win it

You talk about lack of creativity and I gave you the fact about who created most of our goals last season.
So what are you talking about.

This guy, i dont understand how u watch ur own football oh

The games Valencia and co copped assists, u'll find either scholes, carrick or even Giggs on the field. The 3 of them CANNOT be absent in a match

Chamo and Eastbay

i go whoze una one day

leave me alone ohh

Chamotex

Evra had 7 assists while valencia copped 9

and i didnt say Evra was the leading player with assists, i said one of the leading

only Valencia and Giggs had more assists

Giggs is frigging 37 years old. Do you expect him to play in mid week and then play in a big game against Liverpool on Sunday?

then get a replacement. why did he buy Bebeski?

I repeat, that team was good enough . . . the players didn't perform . . . . simple!
In midfield, only Gibson didn't start against the Arses at the Emirates last season, so what right mix was Tkb talking about?
UP front - we had Wazza, our top scorer . . . what more does he want abeg.

sharrap and read all we have been saying

If the trio of Valancia ( a major provider of most of our goals), Fletcher (our midfield machine) and Park (the workaholic) is not good enough according to TKB, then he should go and support Accrington Stanley in League

2
workhaholic, midfield machine, where is the playmaker?
mr coach, where is the playmaker?

It was just a bad day at the office and people are already reacting like its never happened before.

i agree it was a bad day due to one or two reasons
and thats what we are discussing.

TKb I dont want to believe you are saying this seriously.
Who else should have played in that midfield on Tuesday night? Prolly Nani because you dont expect Scholes to play 3 games in a week at his age . . . . I'm sure even you should know that.

read what SAF said about the criticisms that trailed his selection after the game and get a grip of what we are discussing
im a UTD fan doesnt mean i should shout euraka when oshea starts playing midfield for us
SAF acknowledgd he missed some of the best performers in the night cos they would have created one or 2 chances in the match

Our top scorer last season and arguably our best player Rooney, didn't he play 90 minutes?
Apart from Fabio, Gibson and Smalling . . . . every other player that played have International experience.

Rooney would score when he gets delivery

Rooney was not supposed to do a maradona (get the ball from our 18 and sprint to their goal post), Rooney was supposed to bury clear cut chances that we never had unlike last season where chances were created in droves

Jeeeeezzz!!! Sometimes I wonder if you are truly a United fan or know anything more about the team.
You've known this team for a long time and you are talking like this. Like I said before it's still a knee jerk reaction on your part.

been a UTD fan to you means suck up to what the coaches do?
u must be drunk!

That team is good enough . . . . . FACT!!!
Valencia, Fletcher and Park in midfield . . . . . 3 of which started in our biggest games last season againt Chelsea and Arsenal
Creativity? Valencia that was one of our leading assisters last season and I can even remember setting up a couple this season already.

you dont know what ure saying
what has assists got to do with creating goal scoring chances?
Chamotex? are you high? Evra was a leading player with assists too so what?
The creative play of a playmaker was missed in the game and ure here talking about valencia?
wtf

dayokanu:
Like this is something new? Every big club experience this. Which team would go to Nou Camp and open up or even in Bernabeu?

Roma a normal attacking side came to Munich last night and packed a trailer. The possesion stats was like 75% to 25% , Total shots taken were 16 to 3 in favour of Bayern.

Yet that didnt stop Bayern from winning.

The summary is that Manure suck

Teams have been doing it and we still manage to get in goals after we might have created many chances
even last season, we had enuff own goals to our advantage cos the defending teams made mistakes trying to defend their lines

On the day we played Rangers, creativity was zilch!!!!!!!

Re-read my post - quality wasn't the only issue per se, it was more a case of the magnitude of change. You can put the best 11 players in the world into a team and still get a poor performance due to lack of cohesion.

Attacks were uncoordinated and Hernandez appeared lost for most of the game.

Debosky

thanks!!!

i dont know how someone will expect that team to perform after ringing such a wholesome change

no creativity, no fluidity and we had to long range shots that barely tested the goal keeper and my brethen here cannot see all that

what they saw was how Rangers packed the bus and nothn more

Eastbay
what i said about having the right mix should not be bandied around like a vocabulary/cliche

Park/Fletcher/Gibson were not the right mix for that day hence the reason the team struggled to create chances

na maths??

Ibime:
Forget what Soludo may or may not have contributed to the banking crisis.

His statement that Nigeria faces a worse form of SAP due to external debt and conditions that come with those debts hold a lot of merit. He is correct to say oil prices have increased without the attendant spillover into ECA and Foreign Reserve savings. The budget just increases astronomically as prices rise. A counterargument is that production levels have not kept up with the Obasanjo years due to MEND and such. Whatever the case, the fact that Nigeria is falling into new debts without the attendant improvement in infrastructure should be cause for alarm. In the spirit of fairness, I hope Soludo would equally agree that his statement is also an indictment of IBB and Olu Falae's SAP.

i thought the subliminal arrow in his message is that SAP was a failure

I'm starting to think you're really knee-jerking,because Fletcher and Park have won games for United in the past,so I don't see why you're complaining about the midfield.To me,it is decent enough to beat a side like Rangers.
Agreed,Fergie blundered by fielding a side less than his best,but when you think it's Liverpool up next,I can understand why he left out those he did.I still think a side with Rooney,Fletcher,Park,Valencia,Ferdinand and even Hernandez should beat Rangers 1-nil after everything is said and done.The players played crap

its not about Park and Fletcher winning games for us b4

its about having the right mix

spikedcylinder:
Adam Brody is close to many people, and they don't know it.

Debosky, tkb, Pataki, Doyin13, sauron, eldee, chamotex, Crackles, oyb, roger milla

but peeps like me cant be adambrody cos my oyinbo no reach
lmao

so wtf is Adambrody?

i wanna know

so come tell me on YIM; ill buy you burger

^^^
According to CBN, the allegation is total hoax!!

tpiah:
what i dont understand is why una dey take other people's towns abuse una selves.

tkb is ijebu, toh is ekiti, una come dey abuse eko, oyo and ibadan.

am i missing something?

na she first attack my base
she called me adodi of eko

so i had to send her back to Ibadan

even a plantain seller on the streets know Soludo aided the rot in the economy

after all said and done, hes going gung ho into politics after aiding and abetting massive fraud in the banking sector

who knows if his share of the loot is what hes using to campaign

animals

ive been praying for a state of emergency in the state abeg

the gains would be
> The Guvnor would be removed from the position - No 100 billion bond
> The Guvnor would be a persona no grata in the State
> The Guvnor will be liable to answer cases of corruption
> The State would not be thrown into lifelong indebtedness because of One asswipe parading himself as the Guvnor of the State
> The State of Emergency would mean Egbetokun won the war of attrition over a sitting Guvnor

Jackson126:
The sad thing about some comments is that they are totally immoderate and uninformed. Passion is no substitute for fact. In the case at hand, no one said that the Spring Bank M.D. dipped her hands into the bank vault. The charges in the newspapers publicised were that she was an accessory after the fact. This means that she knew of the illegal actions of her officers and helped to cover this up. Point again no one has said that she stole any money.

Some one also asked sarcastically where NSL could have got N5.2 billion? If you had read the newspapers again, you would have seen that these funds were the proceeds of a widely publicised IPO in 2008 to which Strand Capital was the lead issuing house and who therefore received the funds on behalf of its principal NSL.

It is sad where very negative presumptions are bandied about without contributors actually bothering to learn the facts. These three organisations have employees whose livelihood depends on the viability of the companies, but the pull them down syndrome and negative presumptions of Nigerians are such that we will be happier to destroy than to understand. Enough said.

N.B. I have noticed the abusive and ethnic based responses to this issue, is this necessary? How does this move us forward?

chief i dont know what ure on about sir

i asked a valid question if Strand and NSL had 5.2 billion in the coffers of Spring bank and i think CBNs letter to strand has done justice to that.

i dont know of any proceeds from the IPO but i know the contentious issue has to do with the underwriting of the whole IPO process which Strand is claiming the said amount from.

no vex oh

Chamotex is right to an extent.The guys on the pitch were good enough to beat Rangers at the very least,1-nil.

no, they were only good enough to get a scoreless draw

i didnt see Rangers goalkeeper making saves so where would the goal come from?

[quote author=Mr_TA link=topic=443065.msg6763320#msg6763320 date=1284628599]So Liverpool coming up to OT on sunday. If SAF cannot get the team ready for this then we'll have serious issues this season.

Since Valencia's season is over, Im hoping we see more of Obertan this season to see how he develops and hopefully Bebe gets ready soon enough.[/quote]another example of things we do wrong in this club

when are we going to see Obertan and Macheda play regularly? we havent maximized the potentials of Obertan, we have gone to add Bebeski to the team

i can beat my chest, Bebe wont be ready for the first team in 36 months. I forsee a situation where we'll sell him like we did to Tosic

Eastbay
no i didnt say Fletcher is a winger; i was just tryin to tell Chamo that combining just anybody in the midfield wouldnt bring any positives for us
case in point a combo of Gibson, Fletcher, Valencia and Park

and i wasnt gonna compare us with Barca and co but hey, see some perspective; Braga and Panathanaikos are probably better than Rangers and oh yeah, im sure they wanted to park the bus against Barca and Arsenal but the creativity in their middle opened up things

how we expected to create goal scoring chances with a combo we had is a wonder. If scholes hang his boots today, then we are gonna have issues in the club. we need to go back to our old ways where we finish opponents in less than 1 hour- That instils fear in the opponent and a scared opponent is usually a forgone conclusion. The relative ease Chelsea have been despatching their opponents is cos most of those teams are scared. If Chelsea are to play UTD today, ull see how they'll be vulnerable and possibly wont look that fantastic

we are dropping the ball hence the reason teams like Everton, Fulham would fancy going gung ho against us.
we need players mehn

chamotex:
Knee jerk reaction abeg.
That team was still good enough to beat Rangers. The players let themselves down.

Valencia, Park and Fletcher in midfield. That is not a weak side.
We had Rooney up front.
Forget about the defence even tho it had Rio . . . we were barely tested at the back.

The players didn't perform that's all.

what are u saying?
Valencia, Park and Fletcher in midfield?
where is the creativity gonna come from? u think na fantasy league where u can field 4 wingers at a time

that was a silly combo and a rubbish selection

they were good enuff and ethey didnt win?

Arsenal were good enuff, they won 6-0, Barca were good enuff, they won 5-1, Chelsea were good enuff they were 4-1 away

emphatic victories from good teams and yet we struggled to play a hapless side and someone said the players let themselves down

what do u expect from smalling, Brown and co?

magic?

go siddon somewhere pally. if SAF knows the team is good enuff to win, he should field them against Liverpool

whats happenin here?

railway association members have derailed the thread

how to impress a babe?
dress well
drive a bad ride
smell well
speak confidently with cool diction

e don finish- even genevieve go gree

he shd wait till his brain is blown off

scumbag

^^^
story
all the chances we have created this season came from Scholes, Berba and Nani and none of them was on the field

even SAF acknowledged that he probably made a mistake by not fielding Berba

How do you ring 10 changes after the last game and expect some form of telepathy in a champions league game?
it wasnt a carling cup game for crying out loud

the man is tryin me

Very soon
Macheda would request to leave

One thing i have been saying reared its head yesterday

no creative midfielder whenever scholes and carrick are not playing. so what happens when scholes and carrick are injured at the same time?
Ozil? did you guys see Real and Osasuna over the weekend?

damn! thats what we missed yesterday. Ozil shoulda been bought instead of Bebe cos Bebe is not gonna offer us nothn in 2-3 years (fact)

yesterday, we were left with long range shots which never troubled Mc Gregor

shambolic was our display yesterday i swear all because we had no playmaker on the field.

How strand take get 5.2 billion? abi na National sports lottery get 5.2 billion

strand dey chop money underground oh

badguys
