LUIS VAN GAAL

ā€‹In a season where Manchester United can win the FA Cup and still mathematically finish fourth in the Premier League, many fans still want to see a change of manager in the close season.


Here are five major reasons why Louis van Gaal's job is under threat.
1. Wasting Money

ā€‹According to ā€‹ā€‹The Mirror, Louis van Gaal has spent around Ā£250m on transfer fees since his arrival in the summer of 2014. This is a huge amount, and infinitely more than David Moyes was afforded.

This splurge in transfers has yielded few success stories, with Daley Blind and Anthony Martial the only ones to really impress. Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao were very expensive mistakes and departed after just one season.
2. Strange Tactics

ā€‹Van Gaal's tenure has seen numerous tactical outlooks that have derived derision from the home support. Most head-scratching of all was surely deploying Ashley Young, a winger, in the striker position when Anthony Martial - scorer of 17 goals this season - was stuck out wide.

Other moves have included playing Angel Di Maria as a striker and insisting that the 3-5-2 formation be deployed despite not having the requisite personnel. 
3. Style of Play

ā€‹Manchester United fans' biggest gripe with their Dutch manager is undoubtedly their side's slow and methodical style of play. He favours a possession-based approach - ā€‹United have the second highest average in the league - to wear teams down.

He also insists on pairing players such as Marouane Fellaini, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Michael Carrick together and they struggle to provide fluidity and drive in midfield.
4. Scoring Goals

This season United have been woeful in front of goal - tā€‹hā€‹ey have been drawing 0-0 in 22 of their 36 league gameā€‹s at half-time. This is typified by their top scorer being Anthony Martial, despite having just 11 league goals to his name.

The lowest-scoring season was in ā€‹the 2004/05 season when the club scored 58 goals. This season they have managed just 46 so far, which is the lowest amount in the top nine teams in the Premier League.
5. Decimated Squad

Van Gaal has overseen a huge churn of players in and out of the club. The squad he is built is very thin, so when an injury crisis takes place there is very little coverā€‹. Players such as Javier Hernandez, Danny Welbeck and Nani would surely still get game-time with this poor group of players.

This campaign has seen players such as Donald Love, Nick Powell and Will Keane make first team appearances due to a lack of depth in the team.

MAPENZI: Kuna faida na ni muhimu Mpenzi wako kuwa rafiki yako pia

Kuna faida kubwa kwa wapenzi kuwa marafiki KUTOKANA na mila mbalimbali, baadhi ya watu wamekuwa wakiamini kwamba mwanamke ni daraja la pili. Daraja la kwanza na lenye kuthaminiwa ni mwanaume. Yaani mwanamke hana kauli kwa mwanaume. Anakuwa kama mtumwa fulani hivi.  Mwanaume akiongea, basi ni maelekezo kama vile rais wa nchi anavyotoa maelekezo kwa watu walio chini yake. Hakuna wa kupinga. Akisema sitaki kitu fulani kifanyike, basi ni mpaka atakapotoa maelekezo mengine. Vinginevyo, maelekezo ya awali yatabaki kusimama kama sheria.  Wapo baadhi ya wanawake wanaofurahia aina hii ya uhusiano kwa sababu ya mazoea. Kwamba wamekuzwa hivyo, mwanaume ni mwanaume. Huu ni mfumo ambao watu wengi wamekuwa wakiuishi. Kuna ambao wanakubaliana nao, wengine hawakubaliani nao.  Watu wengi sana wamekuwa wakiishi katika malumbano katika mahusiano yao kutokana na mfumo huu wa maisha. Mwanamke hataki kuishi kama mtumwa, mume anakomaa kuonesha uanaume wake. Hakuna anayekubali kushuka,...

Fuvu la binadamu wa kale liligunduliwa miaka 60 iliyopita nchini Tanzania

Fuvu la binadamu wa kale liligunduliwa miaka 60 iliyopita nchini Tanzania Miaka 60 siku kama ya leo ugunduzi mkubwa ulifanyika katika eneo la Olduvai Gorge, kwenye kreta ya Ngorongoro. Wanaakiolojia Louis na Mary Leakey waligundua fuvu la mtu anayeaminika kuwa ni wa kale zaidi waliyompa jina la Zinjanthropus. Ugunduzi huo uliofanyika saa nne asubuhi Julai 22, 1959 kipindi hicho kwenye eneo la Tanganyika ulikuwa wa vipande zaidi ya 100 ukasaidia katika kutambua asili ya watu wa awali duniani. Kabla ya ugunduzi huo, wanasayansi na wanahistoria walikuwa wakiamini kuwa binadamu wa kale walitokea Uchina baada ya ugunduzi wa mafuvu ya kale baina ya 1923 na 1927 nchini humo ya Homo eractus, ama maarufu kama Peking Man. Mafuvu hayo ya Uchina yalikuwa na umri wa takribani miaka 750,000. Mafuvu ya Olduvai eneo ambalo kwa sasa lipo Tanzania wakati wa ugunduzi wake lilikuwa na umri wa takribani miaka milioni 1.75, na hakuna mabaki ya mtu wa kale zaidi ambayo mpaka sasa yamegundul...

Taarifa iliochapishwa na wizara ya kigeni nchini Urusi inasema kuwa wawili hao walizungumza kwa njia ya simu na kushutumu majaribio ya makombora ya hivi karibuni yaliotekelezwa na Pyongyang . Lakini inasema kuwa bwana Lavrov alisisitiza kwamba diplomasia ndio njia ya pekee ya kumaliza wasiwasi katika rasi ya Korea, na kutaka hatua zozote dhidi ya taifa hilo kusitishwa akionya huenda zikasababisha madhara yasiojulikana.
