Re: Japan has developed a unique style of play followed by both their men and women

Good grief - Japan 🇯🇵 has some dynamic players. I would not want to be a full back facing their flying wingers: Take Kubo on one side and Kaoru Mitoma on the other side. They can tear defenders a new one. Plus they have quality in Endo (Liverpool) and Ritsu Doan (Freiburg). Apart from their much pub...

Re: Tobias Lawal dumps Nigeria

He played for Austrian club LASK against Liverpool in the Europa League yesterday. Decent GK, and with the abysmally low standard of Nigeria's current GKs, he is good enough for the squad.

Is he interested in playing for Nigeria 🇳🇬 though?

Re: It’s Official! Onana to ManU! Brace for Onana Mania on BBC & CE

Tell me you did not read my post properly without saying you did not read it properly… It seems you’ve missed the point … if DDG was at the top of his game like he was in years prior the issue of him not being able to be an elite sweeper keeper or his salary would not be an issue for his employment ...

Re: It’s Official! Onana to ManU! Brace for Onana Mania on BBC & CE

Au contraire mon ami. DDG is unemployed precisely because of his salary (Man Utd released him because he refused to take a substantial pay cut). No one is going to pay any GK 350K a week. To put that into perspective, DDG was earning more than elite strikers like Haaland, Lewandowski, and Griezmann....

Re: It’s Official! Onana to ManU! Brace for Onana Mania on BBC & CE

The obsession with “modern ball playing GKs” has made people forget that the GK’s primary responsibility is to keep the ball out of the goal. Even if a keeper has KBD or Scholes like passing accuracy, it will not matter if he has butter fingers. Faced between a shot stopper with poor distribution, a...

Re: It’s Official! Onana to ManU! Brace for Onana Mania on BBC & CE

Only Man Utd could spend nearly 50 million to buy a player who is worse than the player he is meant to "replace".

Manchester United has to stop ETH's transfer policy of trying to sign every player that played for him in Holland.

Re: Luca Koleosho

He looks the business. He played left wing yesterday for Burnley against Notts Forest (ironically against Ola Aina who was playing at RB for Forest). He gave Aina a tough game with his skill, speed, and mazy dribbling. The commentators described him as "the star of the show" and said he ha...

Re: Terem Moffi (hangs x2!!!) Vs PSG

Opposition players should not celebrate scoring when His Majesty Kylian is on the pitch.

Re: Terem Moffi (hangs x2!!!) Vs PSG

Very strange that Iheanacho (who plays for a relegated 2nd division team) gets into the squad ahead of Moffi who was one of the top scorers in Ligue 1 last season, and who is good enough to score 2 goals and get an assist against the French league champions, (one of the best and richest teams in the...
