nitrogen:

He is right now, against Sheffield, the last on the log. Bros, you no dey shame?

So, he should leave a striker coming back from injury or continue to attack and lose the game, Most Sheffield lost this season has been by a goal margin.

olabode89:


Matic actually had a good game and he kept us ticking.

He did. I meant more when we're not on the ball.

Leyqute:


That’s why I said barely. If we’re going to be contenders we shouldn’t be struggling in this kind of match with the caliber of players we fielded.

Didn't we control the match for most of the time?

KingAlabi:

I have never seen VDB as an AM
VDB is a box to box midfielder that is more attacking than defensive, he is not a creative player

Hmm... so we still need to get someone who can deputize for Bruno, chai we for just cough up 65M or so for Grealish o

ChristineC:
let's manage this SD three points sir, I'd have liked to increase our goal difference much more though.

That was my desire though
If our attackers had timed their runs more
Sheffield for chop like 5 for first half
Their defensive line was just to high

I always knew we would score when I saw they kept that high line.

Leyqute:


Like! It’s not possible to move that many people without security agencies noticing. It’s highly improbable.

Yet you see these kind of things happening and govt not giving a damn.

Stuff like this is both sad and annoying at the same time.

When i heard about it i was in shock. And this was done right in the middle of Northern Nigeria not in the usual Boko Haram country.

Country wey dem suppose don substitute put for bench tey tey.

olabode89:

I think we have already
Mata can do a good job
Since he is already ok with the bench duty

Na wa oh
Even if you be the coach
Nitrogen you go do the same thing

nitrogen:

Nawa o, same Sheffield that has not won a game this season. They have one (1) point o. Anyway, the game today was BS, but we have no choice than to move on.

Since it’s Sheffield and they’ve been pisspoor so we should leave them and allow them to score? Bringing in McTom wasn’t a bad decision.

We didn’t play well today, or more appropriately put- we didn’t win convincingly. And we should be putting this kinda game to bed by 60 mins. Like 3-0 or 4-0.

If you’d said that I won’t bat an eyelid. But condemning coach when he’s trying to win 3 points despite the situation of things is a no-no. No be every time you go Dey blame the same person for everything

LostMyZeal:
A well deserved win against a team that has drawn just 1 game and lost the rest

No doubt...a team of grandmas would get at least a point off of this sheffield united team

Saying sheffield utd is a shadow of it's former self doesn't even cut it at the moment

It's really sad and pathetic that we lost out on Sam Allardyce tho...an impeccable coach at that...so so unfortunate.

Anyways...Onto the next game...GGMU and don't forget to blame OLE

Are you okay at all

Big Sam??

KingAlabi:

Ole must see something he doesn't like with playing Mata as AM, because he rarely plays him there.

olabode89:


which game you watch?? How can you say we struggled in this game. Una dey make person tire and vex at the same time.

If we had taken our chances in the 2nd half we could have been leading 5 - 1 before they scored their second goal.

We didn’t win the match convincingly. That’s the issue. There was panic towards the end. Ole made a tactical change in sub so as to preserve the 3 points. It shouldn’t be like that.

olabode89:

Mata actually plays there when he is on
But not permanently
Watch mata and greenwood on that wing you will understand what I am saying

He tends to drift to that center a lot (mata)

Leyqute:

Some matches are like that
Sheffield needs even if it's a point

Our focal attack point went out and our attack died

The most important thing is the 3 points

melodyogonna:

Didn't we control the match for most of the time?

Not really. And they looked like they could score when they have the ball.

Henderson’s early mishap gave them too much belief. We should’ve quashed that belief by scoring more goals.

That way they won’t even dream of getting a point from the game.

Leyqute:

So is it Ole's fault that our boys failed to put the game out of the reach of Sheffield United? We had multiple chances to win the game. Ole did the right thing to save Bruno from fatiguing but VdB was just out of place.

KingAlabi:

Exactly my point!

Bruno drifts around a lot, he usually occupies the half space between the left and centre of the pitch. Mata cannot do that when played as an AM.

KingAlabi:

Agree that the most thing is the 3 points. However the performance was not at the expected level.

If we were winning 4-1 they won’t even be thinking of coming back into the game.

And then a string of poor performances will eventually result in a string of bad results.

olabode89:

Agreed. I won’t blame Ole too much for the way the game ended.

Their first goal shouldn’t have happened and the second one can’t be prevented.

Our attackers should’ve put more in the back of the net. There were too many wrong decisions and bad timing.

olabode89:

Bruno drifts around a lot, he usually occupies the half space between the left and centre of the pitch. Mata cannot do that when played as an AM.

VDB wasn’t himself today at all.

We concede very poor goals, not sure our coaching team is doing anything to our defence. We need to be better coordinated at the back. Also, I think Maguire was almost marking no one when Sheffield scored the second goal.

How did Sheffield United pay 18.5M pounds for Aaron Ramsdale... smh

Country wet dem suppose don substitute put for bench tey tey.

even the barrister and his pregnant wife slaughtered in their sleep was done in metropolitan part of Benue State.
I saw the machete cuts on them and shivered. Nobody deserves to die this way.
Every Nigerian, resident or not, need a gun as long as you'd pass a night in Nigeria. I tell my friends and relatives the same thing.

nitrogen:

We need to stop the habit of conceding early goals.

They did all they could to prevent that against City but today they’ve forgotten all they were taught it seems.

All these individual errors should be curbed. We won’t always escape with it.

Leyqute:


VDB wasn’t himself today at all.

Hopefully he should start against Everton in the League cup. Ole might have to just play him as a B2B midfield in a 2 man pivot or as one of the 3 CMs in a 4 - 3 - 3.

chrisley024:
Sancho will be for RW and as backup.
That's if they sell for 50M

I don't support this Sancho purchase abeg.
What we need is a pure left footed right winger.
Even PSG has ended up playing Mbappe on the left.

Just diving up and down, should have done better for the 2nd (calculating before jumping out) and 3rd goal ( no need to dive, just use your leg).

I feel bad for them, they should have made a deal for Sergio Romero.

Between 7 to 10 pts might not be bad sha.

Yeah I get you
But if not for Henderson's error we would have been 3 goals up

KingAlabi:

Naaahh, Maguire and Henderson share the blame equally for that 1st goal.......
