KingAlabi: 1) International football is slower than EPL. Nobody closed him down with the speed and consistency you will find in the EPL. 2) He had 2 capable men in Kante and Rabiot (who was excellent by the way) beside him. 3) Pogba has always played differently for France. He rarely holds on to the ball unduly or dribble in dangerous areas. I believe this is because with Mbappe and Griezmann he knows he is not the main player and can be discarded if he messes up. It is the main man craze of fans like weedtaker that has contributed to his struggles with us. Play him in a high quality team where he is not the leader or best player and he will flourish. 6 Likes |

afrodoc2: Sure I noticed that but the few times he was closed down he didn't lose the ball, and he was very good at recycling the ball from that position. 2) He had 2 capable men in Kante and Rabiot (who was excellent by the way) beside him.Fred can be a Kante for him in that United squad in term of chasing the ball, rabiot was more attacking minded didn't really see him defend that much. 3) Pogba has always played differently for France. He rarely holds on to the ball unduly or dribble in dangerous areas. I believe this is because with Mbappe and Griezmann he knows he is not the main player and can be discarded if he messes up. It is the main man craze of fans like weedtaker that has contributed to his struggles with us. I think with the undergoings at United presently, he sure doesn't think he is main man again with his back to back chopping of bench, the last time Pogba played from that holding midfield position I can clearly rembered and he excelled well at it was against Newcastle during Jose tenure, when we were 2:0 down. 1 Like |

TrebleChamp:Football is football whether you excelled in your national team or club... I don't subscribe to the idea that R9 or CR7 or any other great is better than Messi because they played for different teams. If Aguero, David Silva, Torres, Fabregas and others before them left Spain to England and still dominated, then Messi would have totally shattered all the records in the EPL in his prime. Imagine Messi playing for this Manchester City team or Manchester United's team in 2008... Talking about inspiring national teams to victory, I don't know if you actively followed football in 2002 because that Brazilian team was mad. People just overrate the Argentine national team because of their big name attackers but easily forget that Argentina has a shit midfield and defense...I will take the current Portuguese team a billion times over Argentina... 3 Likes |

patrickmuf:We wouldn't know cos Messi didn't leave Barcelona. I remember Robinho counting his legovers in La liga making players like Puyol eat grass everytime they meet, he came to Mancity and EPL overwhelmed him. Messi is a football great, but not in the league those i listed earlier imo. He isn't even regarded as the greatest Argentinian player of all time sef. 4 Likes |

Oasis007:whatever reason you have for saying division is impossible will also apply to regional autonomy being impossible. the same actors will frustrate and resist both with similar vigor. don't be decieved, these actors are from every state in Nigeria. our politicians don't even care about themselves or their wives. their only concern is securing their children and unborn, down to whatever generation possible. yes, I know first-hand. when the resident citizens are tired, I mean REALLY tired (many people can still manage to feed), Nigeria will disintegrate into natural formations without anybody championing the cause. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I listened to a colleague of mine talking rubbish at the office, supporting the military action cos according to him, the opposition was using the EndSars campaign to fight Tinubu and Buhari.

Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes reveals he's tempted to ask Fred to play like coach Michael Carrick I watched Carrick playing in training and he didn't miss a pass. It is unbelievable how fresh and sharp he is doing the exercises with us,' said Fernandes. 'I was talking with Fred and I was going to say to him, "Hey, watch him playing and do the same!" but I thought it was unfair and so I didn’t say it! But it was amazing – if someone from outside came to watch training, nobody would say this guy (Carrick) isn’t playing in the team. 'He’s a player who has that quality of passes and also when we need to do some finishing or passing exercises, he’s always there helping us with the balls. 'I’m learning a lot from him and he’s one of the people I like to listen to, because he was a big player, he won a lot of trophies for the club and for me you have to learn from these players. Joao Moutinho and Carrick, they are the sort of players from whom you can learn how to be smart in the game, how to be clever. Maybe they’re not the sort of players that kids will watch and say, I want to be like Michael Carrick, but when you have one in the team, you know that guy will never miss a pass, you know he will do the smart pass, most of the times will make the right decision, and you need these kinds of players.' 5 Likes |

Portuguese playmaker told the official United podcast he is often too hyped after matches to sleep - so watch re-runs of the games so he can study how to improve. Normally when I finish a game, I come home and it’s difficult to sleep because of all the energy and also all the caffeine you take before the game to give you energy, all the Red Bulls you drink,' he explained. It’s difficult to calm down, so I come back home and start watching the game. Looking at the points I did well, looking at the points I did bad or I need to improve. I like to see the analysis and then I’ll see how many passes I missed, how many balls I recovered, how many long passes I made and how many were good or wrong. 'I like to watch all those kind of details because I think details can make all the difference in football.' |
