- The Catalans thrashed United 4-0 on aggregate to reach the semifinals of this season Champions League competition

- Dutch legend Ruud Gullit has now blamed the Red Devils boss for the defeat after the game

Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit has slammed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for making huge tactical mistakes that saw Manchester United bundled out of the Champions League by Barcelona.

The Red Devils suffered a 1-0 defeat at home in the first leg of the tie and 3-0 at Camp Nou on Tuesday night, April 16, to exit the tournament.

With Lionel Messi scoring twice while Brazil attacker Philippe Coutinho netting his signature goal to complete the 3-0 thrashing in the second leg of the fixture last night.

Gullit says it was wrong for the Norwegian to leave it until the second leg to start attacking Barcelona with any real vigour.

The former Chelsea star criticised the Premier League side for missing glorious chances at Old Trafford and leaving it until the second leg to pose any attacking threat.

"Manchester United made a mistake I think, tactically," Gullit told beIN SPORTS after United’s defeat.

"I can understand when you play at home that you want to score goals and be more adventurous and they decided not to do it in the first leg."

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier.

Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
