Casual day at the office

You well so?

chidexxy007:

Think Shrewsbury town 1st leg. That's how shitty we were.
Their goalie even gave us not 1 but 2 early Xmas presents.

You mean an overall shitty game?.. na wa o

chrisley024:
You didn't watch the game

Nope... any positives at all?

UniqueGem:
It's Amazing how you never see Rooney as a weak link.

Bar the missed chance, he and Mephis were the only ones trying to penetrate that defence.

codedguy1:


I didn't see the match. How was Rooney's performance?

As I don dey see as people don dey attack am I wan hear you own analysis concerning your boy.

Their brain is programmed to attack Wayne Rooney.

SMH.. Yours like rooney's is a lost cause.

Kaycee7:
Yeah. Flashscore gave me the update as I was posting. But we can't afford these lapses in concentration against Leicester.

Just as Leicester can't afford the sort they gave out against Chelsea.

Of course.

elrony:

We won. Still same lackadaisical attitude on the pitch.

Elamps keeps buying Rooney excuses. Rashford came on, Assisted 1 and scored 1.

Edo man but kuilikuili na food na

I don't know if it's just me, who else have noticed Zlatans touch and control of the ball and the way he passes it? They're so good and strong. The passes alone shows a lot of confidence.

How do I expect you to understand it since you no know ball.

If he doesn't injure, no one would win his place from him. Rooney picks form as season progress.

This is like saying water is wet so no,you're not the only one.

Elampiro yabs just dey make me laff.

Morale boosting win for the guys tonight. I know it's against a small club, but this win was really needed. Hopefully, they can build on this victory. Our midfield of Herrera, Carrick and Schneiderlin were more efficient and fluent than that of Rooney, Fellani and Pogba. I was impressed with Herrera and Schneiderlin the most, Carrick was great too.

TFM was poor tonight, looked unsolid for most of the match. I'll pardon him though, this is his first competitive match.


The Rooney issue of playing badly is not worth talking about. I'm used to it. However, I saw some people buying the rumors that were stating that Mourinho will bench Rooney for today's match. I never believed those fairytales coz Mourinho lacks the cojones to bench Rooney. I was wrong to think he could. Some people has alluded Mourinho's inability to bench Rooney to politics, saying Mourinho doesn't want to bench him coz of his status in United and he doesn't want to repeat his mistakes at Shekpe and Madrid. I say that's bullshît. The scenarios are different. Casillas was the darling of Madrid with huge fan base when Mourinho dropped him. It's understandable. Same could be said for Hazard and Terry's situation who are fans favorite. But Rooney's case? It's an open secret that United fans are tired of Rooney in that team. The pundits are complaining. As a matter of fact, there will be party across the globe from United fans if Rooney start getting benched. So what's Mourinho afraid of? The fans will support such development so I don't believe it's about some imaginary politics. I firmly believe it's either there's a clause in Rooney's contract that entitled him to steady playing of football or United pays heavily in court, or Rooney's image or financial attraction rakes in money for United hence why he can't be benched. I believe it's the former rather than the latter. If it's none of them, then Rooney's jazz is strong.


Also, I feel apart from our midfield conundrum, another area that's holding us back is the right wing position. Mourinho made a great mistake not securing the services of a left-footed tricky winger who could cut inside and unleash a cracker. Over the years, football have evolved from era of right-footed wingers playing on the right flank and vice versa. Nowadays we have the likes of Messi, Hazard, Robben and co, cutting in from their various positions on the wing to their favorite foot before unleashing a menacing shot into the net. While we've the likes of Young and Martial to do this for us from the left wing (11 position), we are lacking such a player on the right wing.

Valencia hardly cuts in from the right coz his main foot is the right foot and therefore can't shoot well with his left foot if he ever cuts in. Lingard, same story. Mhiki against City, same story. Young this night, same pathetic story. He couldn't take the left back head on coz he's only dangerous when he cuts in from the left wing into his favorite right food to curl in a screamer. He's just useless on that wing in the first half, delivering poor performance and miskicking his shots end up as passes for Rooney to squander. I'd have blasted him but I knew he wasn't good on that wing, he'd have wrecked more havoc if he played from Memphis position. Only Mata is our left-footed winger for us but he's not natural winger. He lacks the trickery, dribble, speed and intelligence for such roles. Mourinho should sort out this problem.


Overall, I'm happy for the win. Leceister next!!

Gaal sent him to the bench twice but he was soon needed again.

Baba na only you still dey Rooney back oo. Even his UK brothers have given up on him.

That thing is a troll, an aberration and a curse upon this thread. Please, let's stop reading, talk more of quoting his posts. Pay it no mind.
