That was a really entertaining match. Ole did really well today. I was still not happy to see Dan James but he was ok and got a goal. Leeds really came to play as they always do. We were so clinical today and really put them to the sword. Big 3 points.



P.S - I don't like our defence.

Where you expecting a clean sheet or what?

LostMyZeal:
Ole is nothing but a lucky clown who has players who really wanna play for him and that's it... he's the luckiest coach in EPL

I still don't want him as MUFC coach


So...I don't give a shii wether he gets on his usual deceptive winning streak

United can win 10 goals to nil...and it will change nothing

Consistency is key

and incase you're hurt by my Gospel of truths

I AM HERE TO STAY

Go and rest.

Expecting a clean sheet against Leeds is like expecting Nigeria to be corruption free.

You guys should be happy we didn't win 6-5.

Not necessarily today. This season our defence has not been good enough. We concede chances and goals too easily.

Defensively out of our backline the least flawed is Shaw. The rest have some deep flaws in their game.

What A weekend

Why be say na when we win some Olein Fans dey show face?! Make una no dey disguise nah. Whether win or lose, make una dey Soro-Soke!

U no dey pay attention

Leyqute:


I can’t deny that he played really well today, connecting play beautifully and assisting two goals in the process. He just needs to bury his chances.

An in-form Martial can only be beneficial to Man Utd since Ole loves playing him.

What is actually shocking to me is, Martial almost always buries those chances he dey miss left and right this season. I no get wetin dey worry am

And we were told that Mctoms is a championship quality sideway passer who is not good enough.

Even as a defensive midfielder, The guy have been scoring belters once in a while. Versus Arsenal and City last season for eg.

I am always confident when I see him in our lineup...I like the way he and Fred took turns to join the attack yesterday...

But my God. What happened to Fred? Is it me or he has been very tidy with the ball this few days, and his incisive passes are top notch. Long may this continue.
I dont want to be carried away, because teams like Leeds can make you look like prime barca.

I like McTominay but it was a match tailor made for him. If Pogba had played yesterday instead of McTominay it might have ended 10-5 cos they are the only midfielders we have that Yaya Toure bull dozing running ability from midfield. Pogba just has extra quality on the ball in addition.

Ole actually applied good tactics yesterday. McTom running ahead of Bruno into the box was not accidental. That tactic worked because the other midfielders push way ahead of Phillips, which leaves him isolated in wide open space against multiple runners whenever they lose the ball.

You're right on point, Leeds and Bielsa need to be more pragmatic if they're going to stay up which I think they will because not every team will be able to pick them apart like we did...

Bruno used backheels to scatter Kalvin Phillips medulla oblongata. The poor man was isolated against Bruno and a rampaging McTominay. Bielsa needs to buy 2 quality CBs and upgrade at the CF position. With those key moves they will not only survive but improve over the next few years.

Correct Ole got his taxtics well, you mentioned before the game that Phillips needs to be kept silent and as if ole was listening and stiffled him. Bielsa removed him later and started attacking from the flanks which actually worked well for them, the got glorious chances.

I was expecting ole to bring in Pogba when he pulled out Bruno, he would have pulled them apart.

Phillips is the key. He plays solo CDM and the 2 AMs usually leave him isolated as they either try to press when they don't have the ball or cause overloads when they do the have the ball.

I think Leeds and Bielsa will do just enough to stay up. Even with their careless gong ho style, they still pick up wins and points here and there. They trashed Newcastle 5-3 just few days ago, they will gather enough wins like that to stay up. They suffered against us becuase they left vast amount of space against an AM like Bruno who is unforgiving and he tore them apart, only few EPL teams have such quality. Arsenal for eg are using Nketiah in that role.

Another thing is Sheffield United, Fulham and Wes Brom will not finish above them this season and erremmmm.. A.r..nal

Also, he has to have another DM playing close to Philips cos he was really isolated yesterday as you rightly pointed out.

In attack, Bamford should be a back up option, he had good chances but fluffed his lines...

The first idea is impossible. That would require Bielsa to abandon his principles which we all know is not going to happen. What is more realistic to expect is an improvement in quality of the players especially at CB and CF.

I still don't like that Leeds were allowed to create all those chances

It’s inevitable. That’s the way they play.

Leeds is the most entertaining match to watch on a weekend..

If u want shots and saves and goals.

Watch dem.

eph12:

It's almost impossible to stop them from doing so, due to the way they play. You only beat teams like Leeds United by outscoring them

eph12:

i think the only team to stop them from scoring is Assanal but those ones are bus parkers that never score so equation balance.

AWB needs backup and fast.. He's looking knackered in games and positionally suspect recently. Shaw is benefiting from Telles competition.
