What doesn't ole address the fact that we keep conceding cheap goals

Is it because of the high-line

A bad defensive tactics

Or down to clueless defenders



On bailly saga, why doesn't he start bailly ?

Isn't he still fit ?

If ole doesn't sort our defense up, he will never achieve with this team.

We are the freaking top 2 team with the highest goal conceded in the top 5 leagues.

Make ole sort this defense out na angry
Alabi trust me, if the defense picks up today, the attack or midfield will be our next problem...

At some point, I and many others here thought were one right winger, an expert DM and a CF away from challenging for titles but as the season progressed, we have seen that we need another CB not just any CB but a world class CB (I was deceived by our defensive solidity last term to think we are sorted in that department)...Then again, with an £80m, we are not supposed to be all out looking for a world class partner for him, a good defender beside him should do but he has not had the impact we hoped...

There’s even talks in some quarters that we need a RB to challenge Wan-Bissaka...That's more like another investment of 300-400m on the squad to fix the aforementioned position which I don't see us spending...Ole has shown that he needs the best players to win and to be honest we can't afford to give him world beaters in all the positions so we might keep flattering to deceive as long as he is here because he doesn't have the tactical nous to get the best out of our current crop...

Is this me resigning to faith? Very likely...

As nitrogen or someone rightly pointed, compared to last season we play a much higher line, and lindelof nor Maguire has the ability to chase down pacy attackers when they get on the break. I don't think we need a world class CB but rather a CB that is good enough and can actually run, bailly when he played showed the importance of what I just said, don't still know why he doesn't play though.

For other areas as you said, DM, we still need it, mcfred lack the creativity we need and a pogba and mc or Fred is just a disaster waiting to happen,
RW, we can't rely on Mason for that seeing he is a CF by nature or diallo, he still too young for that pressure,
CF, a 34 year old that suppose to come in as a back up rather he is benching our supposed main CF, how our main CF has less than 10 goals in all competition (if I am correct) baffles me really, for that position I don't really opt in for a buy, but rather I will trust Mason.

Ole isnt the tactical genius you all expect, I wonder why you are still expecting a Ferrari speed from a golf, if he doesn't meet up expectations from the board, he will be sacked!!!


But someone saying most of our goals are mainly individual brilliance, No I won't agree.

What happens to Martial then
Maybe we get Grealish in,
But top clubs will be gunning for him too
So, to get an edge over them, we use Martial as a freebie

Grealish won't sit on the bench

He plays Bruno or rashford position and those two won't want to sit on the bench either.

For martial, he can follow cavani to retirement for all I care.

But for Grealish...he can play any of the flanks perfectly...and he no dey stay one place... it'd terrifying for teams to have to play against bruno and Grealish

Get rid of Ole like an Orange rind angry
Sell Pogba & Martial
Move Greenwood to 9 and get Cavani to mentor him
Get grealish in
Get a proper CB in
Get a proper number 6 in, to control our game's tempo.

Then we will be very fine

Matic & Mata can come and be doing cameo apperances for us from time to time till contract is done grin

You are correct, he has great potential. However we have not seen enough of Amad to really assess how good he is.

Elanga has stepped up his training after collarbone injury but is probably still 3-4 weeks away. He surely would have been training with the first team as well if not for the unfortunate injury.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Amad RWF, Elanga LWF, Mason CF with Shoretire and Hannibal in midfield behind them. It could work in a league cup game against lower league opposition.

Another player I don't want to see go is Puigmal, his contract comes an end this summer, that guy sef sabi but the coaches in the Youth haven't really helped him that much just shuffling him around the pitch.


Don't you think Shoretire acceleration into the team is a bit too forward? I know the guy is good but physicality and all, that's too much pressure for the guy.

Hannibal will definitely do well in the first team can offer more than Mata and James.

Puigmal is the victim of indigene bias. Garner, Gomes, Levitt, Puigmal, Galbraith were all jostling for midfield positions from Under-18.

The first 3 as the stars of Under-16 were given priority for the 3 slots in midfield while Puigmal was shuffled around as RB, RM, super sub. They didn't give him an extended run in midfield as those guys were the golden boys from way back.

Galbraith being a little younger was able to become the midfield boss of the Under-18 when those 4 left. So finally he too got an extended run in midfield. The current situation is that they are reluctant to give Puigmal extended minutes as it is now understood that he will be leaving in the summer so they want to give those developmental minutes to people like Mejbri and Shoretire that are locked in for the next few years.

Talking about Shoretire i have given up on them slowing him down. It is obvious they want to promote him by fire by force. He played UEFA Under-19 when he was 14yrs old playing against people 4-5 yrs older than him. I would prefer they manage him with more caution but i don't think that is going to happen, and to be fair they have some good reasons for not doing that.

The last time he played in his own age group was Under-15 as a no10 and he scored 60 goals. Prior to that as a striker he scored 100 goals over 2 seasons. I don't know what the ceiling is for him but over the last month it is starting to look like he is finding Reserve football a little easy. Some more reserve football next season and the occasional first team appearance would be good for him.

Let's see how it goes with Shoretire, promoting him to the first team might make him or break, as long as Ole is in charge he will shield him from the spot light. Maybe the idea Is to have him learn from the big boys rather than play him.

Too many talent coming from the youth team no be all of them go break into the first team 2 or 3 players is enough and the rest should be released in order not to stall their progress or the development of other players coming through.
