Treble have you been watching Man U's matches this season??

Life is a game of Luck. You can't put in that effort we did in 2nd half and not win over 70% of the time.

Until the two goals miraculously happened plus the Martial weak shot in the 90minutes plus, we didn't really threaten their defend or goalkeeper that much. We should be pummelling teams like Brentford will shege pressure at old Trafford to force mistakes from their defence, like Chelshit did to Burnley today. I am very happy with the win, but the performance was still shit in both Half...

chrisley024:
Doesn't mean McTom should start next game

True 😁

2nd half was fun to watch. If we always play like this, we will get lucky.

The second half wasn't that good jare, we were just lucky to win this game...

eph12:
I’m just short of words. Mount is not that creative player, stop playing him as your connection between the attack and midfield. Maddison would have been a better option

A DoF would have stop a stubborn Ten Hag from signing Mount 😁. Let us be managing whatever win we get this season, hopefully United will sign a world class DoF next season to help Ten Hag with signing, formation and selection of players too...

Expert17 na you get today. Hold them. No allow dem rest. No commot your leg for their neck.

Homage due must be paid.

Expert wey don join Ronaldo fans dey criticise Ten Hag....

DoF has performed miracle oooh, McTominay turnes hero...

nitrogen:
Abeg, 1 point is useless

Very very useless

Thank you DoF, McTominay don score.

AdisaOwala:
I dey tell you bro

We need a DOF to dominate lowly teams at OT

We also need to spend 4bn to win these games

The useless epistles go show after the game 😁😁....

I hope the women team give me joy this season like they did last season, may even stop watching this useless male team until further notice....

The non appointment of a Director of Football is preventing us from dominating Brentford and score goals in this match 😁😁😁.

Expert17:
Another angle

Sebi you and your likes dey quickly shout "Ronaldo fans" when people criticise Ten Hag.

It is not even looking like we can score, no pressure on their defence and goalkeeper. Brentford even look more likely to score a second goal.....

AdisaOwala:
I been dey hold myself from saying this all this while but from the look of things, you are perfectly correct.

Not all coaches can make that leap from small clubs with limited ambitions, to big wigs with significantly larger demands and expectations

True

Ten Hag reminds me of Andreas Vilas Boas who did well at Porto, came to Chelshit and flopped woefully. ETH is a small club Manager laslas, hope he get it right anyhow before we enter relegation battle this season.

Losing games to low bottom teams like this, when we still have top teams to play is very annoying...

He will not even give the second choice goalkeeper a chance to play, Old Trafford is now turning into an away ground for United....

The gap between Rasmus and the midfield is too wide, how is a supposed good manager not seeing this. Mount is not playing attacking midfield in this game, neither is Bruno. Which kind of formation/tactics be this bayi? Buy a good central midfielder to help the midfield, we carry the money go buy a basket of a goalkeeper.

Na wa ooh

Whether a leader is bad or good he needs to be held accountable. So asking “these are the kind of leaders we are meant to hold accountable” shouldn’t come into it. Even if the leader was a mix of Jesus/Mohammed/Otem/Bertrand Russell/Marcus Aurelius, you still have to hold him or her accountable.

Also if you claim majority of the people saying hold leaders accountable are supporting bad leaders, you are implying that the ones supporting perceived good leaders don’t want leaders to be held accountable, which we both know is not the case.

All leaders need to be held accountable. Whether perceived to be bad or good. I don’t think that statement should be demonised the way it has been here. Unless you see it as a bad thing and want to stop holding them accountable, there is no point focusing on that statement. The focus should actually be on putting pressure on them and actually holding them accountable.

I don't think anybody here is demonising that statement to be honest, they are just calling out the hypocrisy of people who tell them to hold leaders accountable, but still attack them for calling the leaders to account. Was it not on this same Nairaland people were being insulted for criticising Buhari Govt for 8 wasted years? Why tell people to hold their leaders accountable, then insult the people for trying to criticise the leaders actions because you support that leader or party?

They want people to hold their leaders accountable, but they attack people for asking questions about the integrity, background or academic qualifications of the same leaders.
Supporting a very corrupt system because your favourite Party or Candidate is in power, yet be their shouting hold your leaders accountable 😁😁...

A40:
Did Tinubu go to that school? No. You know it and I know it

Will he be impeached? With Akpabio of all people as Senate President. No! You know it and I know it

So let's enjoy the show

As simple as ABC...

afrodoc2:
You have a right and option not to hold them accountable though. It is actually not compulsory.

How people have demonised holding leaders accountable on this forum must be one of the wonders of the modern world.

Because majority of people on this thread saying hold your leaders accountable, are the same people supporting the bad leaders and attacking those who want to hold the leaders accountable. It is called hypocrisy in English

One camp says he graduated according to the deposition records, any camp says he didn't graduate according to the same deposition.

https://x.com/Ucheanyanw/status/1710381880468521380?s=20

I would have perused the deposition document myself, but what would i really do with the information? Tinubu is President and i don't believe Supreme Court will remove him, even if it is eventually proven he didn't graduate but forged his certificate.

This are the leaders we are told to hold accountable.....

eph12 and TrebleChamp, are you watching Beckham's documentary on Netflix?

Question:
assuming SAF was in this twitter era, do you think he would have been allowed 4 years of winning nothing, plus too strict coaching style?
p.s; no sentiment, just discussion.

I saw a shot clip on twitter where Beckham, Ole, Gary Neville and Fergie himself spoke on the boot incidence. As to whether Fergie would have been allowed 4 years in this age, i highly doubt he would have lasted that long without winning a trophy. He was even on the verge of being sacked, but the League Cup win saved his job. Football is first and foremost about winning titles....

- what is the longrun effect when the whole team is carried by their goal keeper?

- is there any successful club being carried by their goal keeper?

- what do we want? short term fix or long term fix?

A terrible goalkeeper will cause damage to a team like United which find it difficult to keep the ball and control games, Pep Barcelona or Ma city Team will do well with Onana like they did with Valdes and currently Ederson, because they always have more of possession and dominate games.
Manchester United is a counter attacking team......

main24:
I agree with you 100%.

But if Kovar is a better goal keeper, don't you think it will make us feel we are improving, simply because we are being saved by the goal keeper?

We are in this hole now because DDG was saving us last season (except his bad days), and at the other end Rashford was scoring goals.
No more individual brilliance, it's a short term fix but useless on the longrun.

what do you think?

I agree, this is where the Manager's tactical nous is really needed. It is his job to get the players playing like a team, and drop any player who isn't doing what is expected of him..

main24:
Aside from those just trolling (lol, it's allowed)...

Is there anyone here that believes that our problem is from Onana (the goal keeper)?

Come forward with your thesis let's reason together.

United have had countless terrible games where De Gea turned out the hero, a good goalkeeper will almost always keep his team in games with miraculous saves/performance. United should have gone for a better goalkeeper or keep Kovar as first choice...

main24:
Treble are you attributing Man U's sh!tty performance to poor goal keeping?

Nope, performance is shitty due to poor taktiks and terrible players management by Ten Hag. Am just saying he should give the other goalkeeper a chance, let's see if he is a good shot stopper who can also play out from the back. I saw Kovar in pre-season and i have watch some clips too, he looks a good shot stopper and very good with his feet.

Is Onana better than Kovar United sold for peanut?
Ten Hag should give Bayindir a chance to show if he is good enough to be number 1.

Director of football is the excuse/reason for United disastrous showing so far 🤣.

Blaming the board for giving Ten Hag the full support and control he needs to build his team 😁.

Una wey dey engage dey try, more powers to una fingers 🤣🤣🤣

No go peel Bruno preek sha.

All I can say is ,”Ole Gollum I am deeply sorry. “

You dey apologise and you still add the bolded 😁😁...
