I am waiting till the weekend after United have demolished your team at Old Trafford.

Wanna have a taste of what harry potter is cooking?

ChristoBam:

Watch City matches and see KDB making pinpoint crosses into the box that's heavily crowded.

And trust me, this is something Bruno used to do during his first 2 seasons. Reason I've been defending him massively. But it's been more than a year now and Bruno has massively dropped.

He can still do it. The team just needs to find a rhythm. I still maintain that if KDB was in our team, he'll create brilliance only for our goalscorers to mess it up.

Exactly what i meant.To avoid confusions like this ,these rules should be spelt out clearly

Looking forward to the game vs Tottenham.

Hopefully,we get maximum points

If we can get maximum points from Tottenham and Chelsea this week ,I think it would give us the momentum we need to go on a winning streak.The morale boost would be helpful

Our own Maguire

You have wild dreams. If we see draw we try.

I'm still not sure why people always say counter attacks like it's now a taboo.
Real Madrid have won a lot of trophies in recent years scoring from counters, basically being a counter attacking force.
we conceded 3 solid goals against City via counters.
Liverpool won their last game scoring straight out of route one football. who cares?
I don't understand United fans especially. it's filled with swinging pendulums.

Man utd fans want to dominate play
And counter goals dey sweet pass

Winning both games is not an impossible task, though difficult.If we are to push our top four aims soundly,we should be striving to win these games against our rivals.At least, they aren't mancity

LooL. You be case.

What prompted me to make that statement was that Arteta dey always do agidi when e meet Liverpool. Energy to plenty. E go even fight the coach.

But at the end of the day, na beating e dey collect. The 5 goals wasn’t literal.

But he seems to be doing well at the moment.

As is everything with Arsenal, we wait for February

we can still dominate play but not to unrealistic frequency after a few months of a new management. fans just want to fly without crawling.

Expert17:


You are just hammering on that single mistake. Didn't he make other successful passes? Even Alison and Ederson make such mistake not to talk of someone just learning the trade at 31.

There's nothing bad in appreciating a player that shows signs of improvement. The no of times he has stepped out of his box in the past weeks should be equal or even more than the whole of last season.

Don't let all this detract from the point that a new GK is needed
DDG is currently doing his best but won't be good enough long term

That's the dream scenario. Would be ok with 2 points from those 2.

The thing is counter attack is not sustainable in the long run since most teams you guys will meet will not teams not set up to be counter-attacked. Even Madrid dominate small teams and try to break them down with Modric, Vinicius (most especially) and rodrygo. Man city are kings of breaking teams down as well as Liverpool.

Granted, you can score counter once in a while, but to make it your standard style of play is a big no no

That "5 goals" didn't sound like literal especially when we all know say Arsenal (not Arteta) dey chop 5 goals on a steady from Liverpool.
But now sha wey e don clear, I don dey okay now : D


As for the bolded, I don mark your own say na Feb. Mind you I no dey drag for trophy, if by end of February we still dey in contention for top 4, I go come drag you.
So you can keep on waiting and hoping

breaking down teams is not what the team will master after 15 games. I'm not saying we need to bunker by default, even now we don't bunker by default. the point is dominating teams is not something that will happen at the frequency our fans seem to demand in a few months. there will be moments and there will be inconsistencies. the team may master it or they may not, that's the manager's headache but antecedent say his team's play a certain way when it's all said and done. our play in front of goal have been profligate of late so fans complain we don't break down teams at all.

KDB has 9 assists or so from an xA of 4.5. he may well have an xA of 10 playing for us right now and have an assist of 2.

since the Liverpool game, I can count how many counter attacking goals United have scored on one hand.

the game against Arsenal, some fans were adamant we scored all goals by counter attacks even on this thread until clips started to show there were series of passes for the first goal. the Arsenal goal had three touches from when United lost the ball in our half till Saka scored, which was a counter press move, nobody cared. the same happened for our last two goals, fans celebrated and came online to not like it.

Borntosmoke:


Let rashford and Ronaldo go to man city. You will know wassup. Watch man u Vs man city again. Look at what debruyne is doing in that midfield. Dem no born fernades papa well. Watch real Madrid Vs Barca yesterday look at what modric played you will know what we have been lacking. I'm not saying fernades is not good but he is not fit for Eth style and I don't know whether he can improve as time goes on

Leave them to keep forming dumb

A counter-attack merchant will never cut it in this team

You can never see a KDB or Modric-esque display in our midfield with bruno...lai lai..

Na only him shaolin soccer passes he sabi throw around

Many here watched artists like Ben Arfa, Coutinho, Ozil bossing their teams midfield in their prime

Ask yourself when last we had that kind of display in our team

One would think that with Casemiro settling in, Bruno would own the midfield, but for where!

Haba, we dey watch midfielders wey dey take time scan pitch, even Eriksen sef dey scan pitch, but not their favorite idiot

The mumu cannot even shoot the ball with his once in a blue moon shot on target

ETH has done very well, having Fred and Bruno in that midfield omo

What a fvckin joke

Y'all can keep deceiving yourselves

Trevor012 some bruno slander going on rn. What are your thoughts??

If you snub me, thunder go fire you

BenArfa bossing midfield? Is there another Ben Arfa?

Man Utd fans won't kill me.

The same Coutinho that flopped in big clubs - Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Already at a mid-level club at 29. so we should sell Bruno and sign Coutinho?

Ozil bossed which midfield? or was creating chances and assisting? Again the job of an AM/SS is not midfield control. Hold your CMs responsible for the lack of control.

There is a reason why the players you guys stan always end up as a BIG time flop.

Many of them don't understand attacking with football. They think it is only about assist and goals. Bruno get assist pass modric last seasonoo but dem no born anybody well make he rate Bruno pass modric. Waiting modric dey do for that real Madrid attack pass make person dey do assist and score goals. Watch real Madrid ball modric go hold ball, distribute, nutmegged with ball. Create mad chances wey fit lead to goals. That's what pogba always do just that he is unserious and inconsistent.

Is Eth playing counter style??when have you seen Bruno holding ball , distributing ball, dribbling opponent. Watch man u Vs man city . Look at how Sancho, bruno, malacia was struggling to mark debruyne at the sideline. Have you ever seen Bruno pose such threat.??. Despite Madrid playing counter. How many times have you see modric forcing unecessary ball. Does modric lack dribbling skill.

God abeg make VDB come back and play 10 straight matches for us, or let us buy coutinho or ben arfa in January I'm tired of seeing Bruno play for us

This guy gets it. I don’t have issues with playing counter attacking styles against the big boys. Man Utd is struggling against small teams. If they don’t come out to play, we can’t score. Not sure we would achieve anything if things continue this way.
