Meanwhile Upamecano quietly served a disasterclass in the 2nd half of last night's game. I read an article from a Bundesliga journalist last season in which he suggested that Konate was the better defender though less lauded.

I think Konate rated as the better defender but not the better footballer if that makes sense.

the line was too high, what kind of manager sets up like that?
the guy did what he could and continued in the second half but to a lesser degree due to fatigue.
he will require a manager who can instill defensive discipline because many times he roamed forward when it was totally unnecessary and didn't even have the agility to return on time.
trying too hard to impress maybe...

No 10 position na brain work o, James dull.


He should try his luck at RB, just like Antonio Valencia.

You see why some of our Ex-players needs to be flogged.

Always yarning sh*t everytime someone puts a camera in their face. That is how Evra said we don't need VDB, yet the same idiots were crying about our lack of quality squad depth last season, using City as example of how those ones have at least two players in every position.

At this point,they need to take a back seat. No wonder most of them are failed managers

Makes sense. They are both good on the ball though Upamecano looks better in that regards.

Giggs has not failed though as a manager, if anything he is doing very well at the moment. However, he should stop using us to do his tribalism, he first recommended James a championship player, now he is saying we should give him the No 10 role. He kept recommending his below average Wales players to us

He's mad. I hope he wasn't the one linking David Brooks to us in the summer when we were looking for Sancho alternative. FFS, the guy doesn't even get into Bournemouth team that much again.

If the David Brooks rumour was Giggs hand work, thunder go fire am.
Fucking British and their tribalist mentality without regard to merit. No wonder Naija is tribalistic because they showed us the way.

They pushed their line so high that even Rashford who was in his own half was behind their defence.

I guess it's just how German teams like to play. They can be losing 6-0 and still keep that kind of high line.

With d arrival of cavani I think lghalo shud just go back to his Chinese club .Or is there still hope for him?

raumdeuter:


You know Pep and Klopp who won the last 3 EPL titles play a very high line

They play a high line, but not a very high line Lipzig and Bayern usually keep. I mean their last defender is usually inside their opposition half. That a ridiculous and arrogant set up to use. I mean, if you are playing against the Padeborn or Hertha Berlin of this world, then it's fine. But the a*sholes do it against good teams too, who have midfielders that can send good one time ball through to their forward.

That was an arrogant type of high line, that even Liverpool with all their work rate won't even try

Dey r from d same county na.What do u expect?

Ole plays default 4-2-3-1 in league games.
I suspect he'd go 4-3-3 if he's going to change it, just because we know Arsenal will drop off in a 5-3-2.
I don't think we'll see Fred as a single DM anytime soon.

He knows how to get those difficult wins. And he's currently on a run.

Don't mind them bro


One Benji is even throwing shades


Anyways ....na here we all dey

Expert17:


Aubameyang plays from the left, so AWB will do the Lord's work.

For now, we should keep Pogba out of the starting 11.

We have to start with Greenwood and Cavani, no time for experiment , that was the mistake we made against Chelsea.

Mendy is in d sticks,,no more osho free goals from kepa

As Ferguson said in his autobiography - "they always think they're a better manager, until they manage that is"

patrickmuf:
Pogba played very well in 4 - 4 - 2 formation against Leipzig...You should be fair in your criticism of the lad...

Starting Rashford, Cavani and Greenwood will see Ole left with no guaranteed goal scoring option on the bench and for Football, you don't play all your cards at once...If we are losing, you don't expect our first point of call to be Pogba, VDB and Mata even though they pose a certain degree of threat...

Against Chelsea, the mistake Ole made was starting James and Mata...Replace them with VDB and Greenwood and we would have been far more threatening..

d days of osho free goals are over,,Mendy is at work

SyIvalord:
Someone cannot even enjoy a good win in peace again. Unnecessary argument everywhere. +facepalm+

And you guys are actually arguing with someone that calls himself “Lostmyzeal”? How can you make someone that has lost his zeal see anything positive? That is a futile exercise na.

Always so fooool of yourself as usual

Konate is better than Upamecano, But Konate was injured all through last season plus Willy Orban their aptains injury was what made Upamecano first choice and to his credit he did well

It was that setup that Bayern used to smash Spurs, Chelsea Barca and Lyon last season and Leipzig used on Spurs and Atletico. Teams dont come bigger than that

Even Liverpool and Klopp is making their high line even higher because of the need to compress the space and make their press effective

If you want to do a high press you need a high line or else you are just suffering your attackers for nothing

True. Matic might play in place of McTom. OGS has been on about how McTom needs rest etc.

VDB obviously will be the best sub option against Arsenal.

Agreed.

If Arsenal plays conservatively we’ll need to break them down. And then change personnel to defend the lead as the match goes to an end.

Should Pogba start?

Hmmm. Dalot. One goal. One assist.

Meanwhile, Royal Antwerp. Losing to Kings and Crown Princes

After the game, a certain Olè came out to fumed about the draw but a British Stephen Lamp Keshi was happy with a draw, thanking Otem for the clean sheet and tight defence.

Instead for them to thank the towel an, they're busy forming Fashola the Incredible.

Leyqute:


Did you see Martial’s drive towards that defender before assisting Rashford for his last goal? The guy is a born winger.

Confused the defender. Martial will do well on the left. Now that we have Telles, he'll enjoy it there.

Expert17:


We have preached this gospel for long "Martial is not a CF".

But no, Martial 20+ goals last season deceived some guys.

Haaland should be our next CF signing.

Halaand will be a very good buy but I don't think his buy would be necessary if Rashford continues dropping goals.

I don't believe Dortmund will even give us easily. E go too cost us.
