[Roberto Firmino]

Nah, He should be nowhere near the team. I thought he contributed to the poor shape of the attack as we looked 100% better once he went off. We also have so many options in attack that we dont need him anymore tbh.

Senior Man don’t make my best XI but he wasn’t the problem tonight

while uganda beat botswana today

What is wrong with you

What is wrong with you

What you got against Uganda

Senior Man was decent, least of our problems

Not in the slightest. There’s a reason he can’t get a game at LC. He missed a clear chance to put lookman in for the 1v1 after Lookman played him for the 1-2. I was livid when KC played it out wide instead.

Once Chuks came in it was a different ball game. There was more space because Chuks actually stayed wide. That’s how the 1-2 with Yusuf came about.

For me, next match should be (assuming all fit)

Nwabili
Tanimu—Bassey—Ndidi—Osayi
Onyeka—Yusuf
Iwobi
Bashiru—Boniface—Lookman

Chuks, Moffi first up from an attacking sense. Onyedika for more legs in the midfield. Ajayi for more defensive solidity. Maybe Tella if others are tired.

Paul and KC need to be phased out. Umar Sadiq as well.

Excuse my ignorance but I don’t pay attention to soccer unless it’s the Atlanta United. I know about the big European clubs but that’s about it..

I saw Madrid won the champions league..so they have a history of winning like the Yankees, Celtics, Lakers etc? I know Ronaldo doesn’t play for them anymore I thought they’d fall off

The elephant in the room is our guy doesn’t know what he’s doing and I get we wanna skirt around that because of who he is, 3 matches I’ve seen nothing and I mean literally nothing he’s just sending 11 nikkas out there for fun and games

Harsh. This is his first competitive match isn't it?

These bums are the CL.

No matter what they will always be favourites.

It’s not harsh, he played 7 at the back against Mali in a friendly there was no plan today of course we would all love him to be another Big Boss may he rip, took too soon from us he’s not and it’s part of the problem that we think this nonsense is ok

55,000 showed up for Thiago Silva’s Fluminense presentation today. It broke the record for Brasil.

 

[THEREALBRAND]

@THEREALBRAND take it easy on us on Saturday
uruguay gave us the dikk already

I’m going to be in the building tomorrow, so I’m hoping the score is so bad that we get some beer bottles thrown at players and drunk pitch invaders by the half.

I’ve been training for months in preparation of your cousins trying to act up out there.
