Being in a top league does not automatically make you a top player. You can be anonymous and almost a spectator.

I would rather have the most outstanding consistent players in the Championship than a players in a moi moi team in La Liga who has done nothing and will do nothing.

Eze, Tega and Ovie are outstanding players in thier league.

You could add Iorfa and Adarabioyo to that list in the context of defence. And on the wing we have Osayi coming in to stake a claim.

Finally, Scottish Premiership league may have a low rating. however the club Rangers has a much much higher rating than Huesca in European club ratings.

If you have the time look at the players and value of Sunderland and Hulls players and compare to Huesca and you will see gap that will suprise. And these are essential league one clubs now.

Yes a bad season negates previous good seasons(not fully). It gives one a reason to rethink the opinion that you are the real deal.

TheGoodJoe:


Parking the bus is more of strategy than tactics. That is where you guys miss it.

It is accepting the opponent's superiority and looking for an alternative to win against a better opponent.

Edopesin:


Unintelligent ramblings, you could have just ignored

jihday:
Comot Kalu, take Moses to the left and bring in Chuks finish

TheGoodJoe:


When Simeone tried to play an offensive brand of football, he got River Plate, the Barcelona of Argentine football relegated.

It is difficult to coach in an offensive pattern.

charlesemeka85:
u forgot to add azubike

Blueelf:


The same Kalu people used to rate here as a better crosser of the ball than Simon Moses?

TheGoodJoe:


I have made the point very clear. You are just rjnning in circles.

Edopesin:


Those two words tactics and strategy can literally be used interchangeably

Atletico against Liverpool was not accepting that the latter were superior, Simeone tactics were Crystal clear in the first leg, They let Liverpool have the ball and pressed until they lost it and they hit on the counter

Liverpool were clearly going to be the better side but Simeones tactics paid off

komekn:


We are talking strikers not wingers.

And my point is very clear look at the pedigree of Aubmeyang over the past 4/5 seasons played in the Bundesliga.

He has NEVER been able to replicate that goal tally of 31 goals in the EPL.

Timo Werner is not better than Aubmeyang and why do you think he will come and become the numero 1 in Chelsea and dominate in the EPL

komekn:


That's not the case with Managers more so with players.

peterd53:



Edin dzeko
Son heug
Vincent kompany
Michael ballack
Sane
Pulisic
Berbatorv
Hamman
Gundogan
Roscisky
Lehman

Do u still need more?

benji93:
It's difficult to consistently win with a defensive pattern too. In all your wisdom you seem to think one is more difficult than the other. Bullshit. . To everyone his own. Different coaches think differently and are guided differently by pdifferent philosophies. The ultimate goal is to win and do it consistently, picking up trophies along the journey. If you do that by parking the bus so be it.

benji93:
Semantics. Semantics. Semantics. Is that a strategy or tactic? it's incredible how some try to come off as very knowledgeable, such that trivial matters such as the difference between Tactics and Strategy are blown out of proportion.

benji93:
What! What is your argument? That a bad season doesn't make the audience doubt your abilities? I am not understanding you. It's in the process you find out what share of the blame you deserve.

TheGoodJoe:


Football is up and down but the quality is the sum total. Not cherry picking a season to critique.

andrewbaba44:


He is not better than auba no doubt but he is prolific as auba in the bundesliga

You are just trying to make a case for tammy and nothing else

Timo is better than almost all top strikers in the epl apart from people like Vardy Kane aguero auba and some few others i forget to mention

I rate the epl more than the bundesliga but you dont need to look down on others league most times

Should i remind you that martial is now doing well in the epl than he did in the french league

komekn:


I disagree he was made in the EPL but cam from the French league, it's been how many seasons of learning and development? ❓

I am just stating facts that's why all these look up to the EPL. You should stop looking up to the EPL lol.

Edopesin:


Lols TheGoodJoe is very knowledgeable though he goofed up here

Joebie:
Add to those Michael Olise

benji93:
Cherrypicking? You were good over the previous two season but your performance began taking a decline this season. The first thing that comes to mind is you have become less useful relative to others. It's as simple as that. We may eventually arrive at a conclusion that, it wasn't entirely your fault /your team was relatively worse e.t.c, but the opinion that you are probably not as good relative to others is almost a Null hypothesis. Man please stop these unnecessary use of words. Some of us here are actual researchers. You seem to think the people at theo ther end are dunces.

IDENNAA:


Is Ighalo still a super eagles player ?

andrewbaba44:


Lol so martial was bought from the french league and made in the epl?

Comedian

andrewbaba44:


At times trolling dey make some people forget their sense

TheGoodJoe:


Not true. Simeone knows if he goes toe-to-toe with Liverpool they would have smoked him to blazes. So he resorted to park bus.

Strategy - is the bulk of the plan.

Tactics - actions to carry out the plan.

Park bus - general plan to keep all or most players behind the ball. Little tactical actions to carry out the strategy.

komekn:


How many years in the EPL ❓ he was a mere teenager when he came 5 years ago to Manchester United , with a big price.

That's the context in which l say he was made in the EPL.

A bit like Thierry Henry when he cam to Arsenal.
