Uzoho is our "No1 goalkeeper
Wilfred Ndidi is our "young talent"
Victor Moses is our "star player"
Alex Iwobi is our "creative force"


Would love if we played a 3-5-2
--------------------Uzoho-----------------
------Troost Ekong-----Balogun-----Omeruo
Moses---------Ndidi--------Mikel----------Ebuehi
--------------------Iwobi----------------
--------Iheanacho--------Ighalo----------

This is it :wow:

I'm pretty ambivalent on Brazilians joining Man U
It hasn't helped that he plays for 2 of the most conservative coaches in the world, who don't play to his strengths. But let's keep it reality, at Juve he had Pirlo to be the primary playmaker, so he wasn't relied upon to be the main creative hub of the side. Now he being asked to do that job, he just isn't that guy at the moment, he may grow into that role, but at the present he needs to be the most advanced midfielder in a 3. Him playing in the 2, you get the inconsistency that he's shown for both United and France.

The issues he has for France, isn't too dissimilar to what Lampard and Gerrard had with England. Players who can do everything but are far better at attacking are shoe horned into defensive roles first to get them in the team.
What you said is so obvious it's maddening that coaches don't recognized this:mindblown:

You’re going to be out here looking like Martin in the Air Wack gear.

I wish we could half a billion to fill out our squad too.

But on the real though Sane's not half the player Salah is, as good as that kid is.

70 million for Van Dijk
54 million Keita
40 million Fabinho
50+ Fakir
35 Ox
Plus whatever y’all spend on a GK

Real scrappy bunch of underdogs and overachievers y’all got in Merseyside :stopitslime:

Only because we've made money from selling players like Suarez and Coutinho. Our net spend is like a tenth of City's.

Who will win the net spend championship? Arsenal, Spurs or Liverpool?!?! Trophy not included.

Y'all have a feeder club in the same league but want to claim poverty every year your club doesn't win anything. It's sad.

This naija team:mjcry::snoop:

They play best under pressure, all the positivity from that long undefeated streak was NOT doing them any good.
They should step up in Russia. It is pretty bad when you're getting washed by England though but obviously they were just not up for that game.
Im not panicing yet. Havent seen highlights of the czec republic game but i hear they dominated possession?
