Re: "Mikel is stubborn. I cannot tolerate people like that" - Samson Siasia

What is the point of having a manager then if “players should have the power”? Why not let a bunch of teenagers and young 20 somethings manage themselves, train when they want, and pick the formation and tactics. Presumably, Foden and de Bruyne would have still become the players they are today with...

Re: Sanusi out for the season?

Well done to the NFF Chairman - remembering his players in sickness and in health.

Re: Xavi to Leave Barcelona

Or he cannot find a good manager willing to participate in the Ponzi Scheme he calls a football club.

Re: DONE DEAL - VICTOR BONIFACE WILL JOIN BAYER LEVERKUSEN

Victor was very unwise to get involved in that melee against Dortmund on Saturday. He was lucky that VAR intervened to rescind his red card. In a non VAR match with a lot at stake, his red card would have stood, and he would have been needlessly sent off and suspended.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Allowing a team in the division below to score 3 goals in 25 minutes, letting a 3-0 lead (with only 19 minutes left) slip and somehow end up drawing 3-3, and then conceding a 4th goal, then needing VAR to save them from a 4-3 defeat - is utterly embarrassing. Casemiro's penalty was so abysmal that h...

Not to mention Luke Shaw, Malacia (who has not played a game all season), Mount, and Martial.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Jason Wilcox was a good winger who won the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers. Sadly, he is now 53yo and I do not think he can still compete in the Premier League. As well as signing off field executives, Manchester United should consider signing some good players to replace Evans, Varane, Martial...

Re: Madrid vs City

You may be the only person in the world who thinks Bernardo Silva (one of the most technically gifted players on earth) is a "poor shooter". You are not giving the GK Lunin any credit by calling his save "luck". Lunin knew that players often try a Panenka penalty by chipping it d...

Re: Madrid vs City

I think having a good penalty technique, research on opposition penalty takers, and being able to hold one’s nerve are a lot more relevant than luck. ... penalty shootout is a combo of luck and better goalie. Also what goalie was more active during match seem to be more warmed up to final event. Not...

Re: Noni Madueke lost to England too.

This incident suggests that Madueke has a bit of Emmanuel Dennis in him. Trying to take a penalty despite the designated penalty taker being on the pitch. SMH.
