Another prayer

I pray we stop wasting WC slots, giving it to carpenters. The WC is over for 3African teams but i refuse to be distracted. The step up by the 2nd choice Gk of Cameroon is commendable. Against Brazil again.

TheGoodJoe:


You are now contradicting yourself. You said Tiki taka is not possession football, and now you are saying tiki taka is a possession football system.

I have tried to make it easy for you. We have possession football. And then Guardiola came with a brand of heavy possession football. Like you can see in that 15 minutes stats that showed a 99% dominance of the ball.

Now Guardiola played such with Barcelona, Bayern and now City.

So when you say Manchester City does not play time taka, you are actually referring to the possession heavy brand of play, which is totally not true, when we have one of the highest percentage in Europe.

So you were wrong at that.

Finito.

But if ighalo is on a good run of form, why not drop someone like that proud idiotic penalty misser for Ighalo

TheGoodJoe:


Thought I stated it. It happened in a fifteen minutes period.

Success covers a multitude of sins.

If Moses had scored that chance in Kumasi you'll probably be hearing how Eguavoen is a new Westerhof incarnate.

Blueelf:


Better to go there and at least win a match than sit home and hate on more successful teams

Meliforme:


This is not true.
I heavily criticised Eguavoen before his first match at the last AFCON, even while we had a winning streak, my criticisms for him did not cease.

Results alone don't move me, patterns do.

Give them the I won a match trophy na! If e dey pain you reach body

I criticized him against Serbia ,but man shutted me up against Brazil

Odunayaw:
Well, i didn't see that match when it happened

All 99% possession could have been in MCity's half of the field and full of backpasses

Except you have other stats that can give that possession a better meaning

daveP:
Africa has the 70-30 for now. We're proud of the performances amd wins. Hopefully he becomes a top gk soon

Blueelf:


Haaa

If you talk now, they will say Uzoho/Maduka will best this guy in a competitive game

I'm waiting for them to deny this

Odunayaw:
Read correctly

Possession football ≠ Tiki-taka. It does not EQUAL it

Maybe you no go science class sha

Again, A possession heavy brand of play is not Tiki-taka [Tiki-taka is not the only system of possession heavy football] and I gave you teams that played possession heavy play that are not disciples of that system!

Blueelf:


Nope

Gianni's owns his ass

It's not even close bro

TheGoodJoe:


You are not saying anything. Trying to shift gear, does not change nothing.

Tiki taka is possession football. Enrique plays Taka, which is an offensive brand of possession football. No matter the sign you throw in, it does not change that the brand of football played by Guardiola is possession football.

I have broken it down for you. If you want me to explain it further, I will.

You were wrong to think Guardiola brand of football is not similar.

TheGoodJoe:


Fifteen minutes, 99% possession says it all. Guardiola plays a heavy brand of possession football which is similar to the kind he played in Barcelona.

Odunayaw:
99% possession can be taken out of context by whosoever decides to

TheGoodJoe:


There is no context. It is the clearest definition of possession heavy football.

And I watched the game.

Odunayaw:
Tiki-taka is NOT all there is to possession football

This is why not all possessive sides make 800+ passes per game

You saying the same thing again and again doesn't make it correct

Odunayaw:
Pray tell, which half did this 99% of the passes occur

How many were transitions into the opponents half and final third?

When you provide that we can now deduce if it was pointless pass for the sake of possession

mostob:
Oh... you just need to share your predictions on Facebook and your prize will be doubled.
simple

TheGoodJoe:


You are yet to make any clear definition of your point. You are just typing it is not it is not.

TheGoodJoe:


It is from a side that has won the EPL four times in the last five season. You can not decide if their passes are pointless or not.

TheGoodJoe:


Ighalo is off radar and Dennis is of a higher rating today. Even Watford will pick Dennis over Ighalo.

do4luv14:


phew next prediction then,

I come this party later sef, And I think it's only for the worldcup

mostob:
They should extend it to UCL and maybe EPL too

I dey carry Netherlands and Argentina today sha

Odunayaw:
My point is clear but because of your habit of arguing for the sake of it you can't see it

- Tiki-taka is NOT all there is to possession based football
- Man City doesn't play like Barcelona did

People may call all seasoning Maggi, that doesn't mean all seasoning is branded Maggi
