Sports / Re: Nine Reasons Why Man United Can Beat Liverpool by folufx: 7:35pm On Oct 16, 2019 |
Analysis coming from Man city fan reportminds: Manchester United may never have a tougher task to beat their biggest rivals.
Liverpool have won every Premier League game they've played this season, are brimming with confidence and comfortably sit top of the table.
United, meanwhile, are going through arguably their leanest spell in decades. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are without a win in their last five matches and are a lowly 12th in the league.
So, no chance for the hosts at Old Trafford this weekend? Well, maybe not. Form can often fly out of the window in these derbies and Solskjaer will be devising a plan to take down Jurgen Klopp's high-fliers.
Here are nine reasons for United fans to be cheerful and believe their side can win...
1. The Old Trafford factor Liverpool have won just once at Old Trafford this decade. That was a 3-0 victory over David Moyes' beleaguered United, in a game in which Liverpool were awarded three penalties.
Aside from that, the Anfield club have struggled even against relatively mediocre United sides under Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. They even failed to win against an injury-ravaged United at Old Trafford last season.
A a rowdy home crowd can create an atmosphere to again make it difficult for Klopp's men, who will be wary of losing their incredible league record this season at Old Trafford of all places.
2. The derby factor It would be unwise to suggest form shouldn't be considered when analysing or previewing this game. The bookmakers have United at 7/2 to win, which are long odds for a home game, so they obviously believe Liverpool are huge favourites.
But derbies can see emotions run high, composure lost and complacency can play a part. United will have to embrace the chaos of such an occasion and try to capitalise on some nerves in the Liverpool ranks, which are inevitable for such a fixture. Football can be an unpredictable game and that can only benefit the underdogs, United.
3. Mo Salah There are fears on Merseyside over the extent of the ankle injury Salah suffered in his side's last home game, the narrow and late win over Leicester.
So if the Egyptian plays — which he's expected to — there's a chance that he won't be at his roaring best. Throw in the fact that he's never scored against United in four attempts and Solskjaer's side may have the perfect storm. United will have to keep close tabs on a player of Salah's ability of course, but he could struggle to step up once again.
4. Solid defence Statistically, United have the best defence in the Premier League this season, based on xG stats in terms of chances conceded. And that defence is likely to get a boost by the return of Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back. Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw could also be in contention to come back from injury, meaning Solskjaer may have his first-choice back line available.
Liverpool have struggled to break down similarly resolute defences in Napoli, Sheffield United and Leicester this season. Scoring goals may be an issue for the visitors.
5. Klopp's record As well as Liverpool's inability to win at Old Trafford in recent years, there's the matter of their manager's woeful record against United.
Last season's 3-1 win at Anfield was just Klopp's second triumph over United in nine attempts — and the first in the Premier League and he's yet to find a way past the old enemy on away turf. There will be trepidation in the German's camp that United should try to exploit.
6. A game to suit United So how can United exploit Liverpool's weaknesses? It's fair to say the game may well unfold to suit Solskjaer's preferred approach — on the counter-attack.
Liverpool have the superior ball-players and a dangerous attack, so United will surely cede territory and look to sit in and frustrate the league-leaders.
That will surely give the likes of Marcus Rashford, Daniel James and (if fit) Anthony Martial the chance to break at pace and catch Liverpool unawares at the back. Rashford scored a double in this very fixture in March 2018 and will be boosted by a fine goal and performance for England against Bulgaria.
United's better performances this season have come against better sides: Chelsea, Leicester and Arsenal. If they can replicate those displays, they have a chance.
7. Pogba Say what you want about Pogba — and many people do — but he's a big-game player and undoubtedly the most talented footballer in United's squad.
Solskjaer will be banking on the Frenchman producing one of his best displays. And when that happens, United tend to win, no matter who the opposition are.
8. Weakness in Liverpool's defence Liverpool might be eight points clear at the Premier League summit after eight games, but it's fair to say their defence has flattered to deceive at times this term.
Any defence that concedes three goals at home to RB Salzburg is fallible. And if United can get Daniel James running at Trent Alexander-Arnold, they might find the Achilles heel of Klopp's side. The England right-back is excellent going forward, but can be exposed running back to his own goal. So while Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip have been good this season, United could find joy down the flanks.
9. Rustiness in goal The expected return of Alisson in the Liverpool goal seems like a boost for Klopp's men, but there's every chance the Brazilian's return could actually have a destabilising effect on his teammates.
Adrian has deputised superbly in Alisson's absence this season and Liverpool's back line has been very settled. Alisson is prone to the odd shaky moment and cannot afford that on his return, at Old Trafford.

As I type this message, my heart is heavy.
Up till today, I have never known my genotype till I went to do medical fitness test for my job/employment process.
I've being dating by girlfriend for about two years and seven months now, and I've always seen her as a perfect match to me, not because she's perfect, but because she's very loyal, reserved and calm, respectful, teachable, willing to learn, beautiful and very supportive to say a few.
Kai, the thought of losing her is killing and unexplainable. She had been a BLESSING to me all these while. We've really worked on ourselves and helped each other to overcome our weaknesses.
With the challenges of my new and better job, will I really have that time to woo women and start the process of working on a woman to blend and suit me?
And this is a girl I'm planning to settle down with by the middle of next year, after I must have gotten used to my new job.
I have always believed that my genotype would be AA, but I was wrong!
Somebody told me that there's nothing God can not do, that he has seen people giving testimonies about change of genotypes. I didn't doubt him, it's just that i'm not the "churchious" type who easily believe all those stories.
Now, my questions are:
1.) Is it possible to have just two children without an SS child?
2.) How do I relate this sad news to her (after she has turned down several serious marriage proposals because of me)?
3.) Please, what do I do?
Please, help me and send this to front page for greater views and advice.
Matured and very serious advice needed.
Thanks. |

The Old Man responded "My father was 20 years when he met my mum, and they met at the stream. So they visited my maternal home to pay bride price. After the wedding, they had sex, then my father said he gave birth to a boy named Buhari. I have 3 sisters, but I don't know their names, maybe when I get home, I will ask them.

The true is Nigerian and many African countries are not ready for some technological advancement. When PayPal and click bank refused nigerians and some African countries what were they thinking. They knew we had criminals and people doing legitimate online business which is exactly what happen in other countries but the fact is that Nigeria has an environment that favors criminals. Many crimes with clear evidences remain unsolved in this country.Now they want advanced payment which is difficult to trace without corresponding advancement in Criminal investigation:no CCTV, no DNA database. If bitcoin is encouraged it will not only increase kidnappings but it will make them even more difficult to solve. : GavelSlam:

Health / Re: The Prize Of “Delivering Like The Hebrew Women”- Nigerian Health Blog by folufx: 2:58pm On Jul 28, 2019 |
World health organization has considered the ideal rate for caesarean sections to be between 10-15%.Meaning that 1 out of 10 women will need a cs for various reasons.However there are roles to play by stakeholders if this rate must remain or even improves if possible.Pregnant women should prepare from the day pregnancy is confirmed by getting the right education/information, diet,exercise, right frame of mind.Husbands should be involved(we have seen women being convinced by their spiritual leader not to undergo cs even at the point of almost developing complication).Doctors should work towards this rate because it is EVIDENCE BASED.CS should never be performed because it will fetch doctor more money, it damages reputation.Spiritual leader should not take over the role of a doctor.If a woman has been attending antenatal in the hospital she should be allowed to follow the management plan. |
Health / Re: The Prize Of “Delivering Like The Hebrew Women”- Nigerian Health Blog by folufx: 2:31pm On Jul 28, 2019 |
Not just possible but occur on a regular basis due to ignorance and poverty.The last experience I had was a woman who had undergone two cesarian sections with only one surviving baby before becoming pregnant of twins.She did not want cs despite being told by the doctor that did the 2nd cs that she would subsequently require cs for future delivery.She went to a TBA who promised her "miraculous vaginal birth ".She delievered the leading twin dead before she was brought to the hospital.It was obvious she had ruptured the uterus.She was quickly rushed to the theatre to see how much of help she could get.We could only save her life as the 2nd twin was also dead and her uterus was damaged beyound repair so we had to remove it.She took five units of blood before she became stable.She survive it but at great loss. dominique: Forcing women to deliver vaginally when they should have done cesarian section has led a lot of women to their early graves.
