KGD10:


Torres was just coming out of a severe injured lay off and needed enough creativity behind him to uplift his confidence which Chelsea couldn't offer him. Take Rooney for example, Rooney always take months before he could get back to his form after a long injury lay off. Torres wasn't afforded such at Chelsea. There was little creativity and he was even benched as soon as he wasn't scoring. As a result, his confidence sank. Maybe in another team, it would have gone well for him. Suffice to say some players destroy their career after making wrong career move. For example, Sahin move to Madrid.
Torres was already dipping in form even before leaving Liverpool. It was easy to bench Torres because aside his goal drought he was adding little to no value to the team. You don't expect a team trying to win games to continue coping with Shola Ameobi level production.

Anyway you're just addicted to excuses

KGD10:

[s]Saul is a defensive midfielder like Khedira, Kante, Ramirez, Vidal. He's not the kind to dictate play like Modric does. He's not a creative either. It's even stupid to argue this. Well, I know you have a brain of a 2years old, so I will indulge your stupidity.[/s]
Listing Saul in the same mold as donkeys like Ramirez, Khedira, Vidal is laughable and shows how little you know about the game. Saul does not have Özil level creativity but suggesting he lacks creativity or tekkers is a dangerously ignorant claim. Have you watched him play for Spain at all?

How many players in World football can dictate play like Modric does? Why make such far flung comparisons. Smh

KGD10:

Lmao. Why didn't Griezman work on the wing for Atletico after all, he's a pacy forward like Mbappe? You're a roaming lunatic if you can't see that Atletico set up doesn't fit a wing forward.
Stop being so emotional mate. Take palmwine and calm down

Why isn't Griezmann working on the wings for France? Those of us that know Griezmann know he was not a natural winger.

KGD10:

You are probably blind to not have seen so many chances that Barca and Bayern wasted agianst Chelsea. Why did you think Di Matteo was sacked despite the CL win? This was a team who struggled to occupy 6th in the premier League table. You really have a lot of catching up to do.
You really need palmwine to calm your nerves.

Football is a make or miss sport. There are no trophies awarded for missed chances else 82 Brazil would have won the World cup

Whether they sacked Di Matteo is immaterial. He was never Chelsea's choice for starters plus Chelsea is a notoriously fickle club. Didn't they sack Mourinho after winning a league and cup double in 2007? Is this not Chelsea we're talking about here

KGD10:

Pogba was excellent to France style play, which is releasing the wing forwards in acres of space on the wing. Pogba was rested in the match Lemar played hence Lemar had to do with the least he could have. He was still France's best forward in that match. One fact is Mbappe was provided chances by the midfield while at Monaco, PSG and even at France. If Lemar was given such opportunities, he wouldn't fall on his ass like Mbappe was doing against manunited.
So Lemar can't function without Pogba? I laugh in Wolof

Best forward in a game that ended goalless? You're so desperate it's hilarious. Deschamps knew Lemar was useless to the French cause and that's why he never saw another minute at the World Cup. Common sense should dictate that an exceptional display should get him at least one more minute in the remaining 4 games of the competition.

No wonder the only game Lemar played in is the only game France failed to score. Barrenness following him up and down like a guided missile. How can an Attacking midfielder muster 2 goals and 2 assists by March!!! His goals against Girona and some team from the 4th division!! Jesus Christ!!!

Lmao. Lemar off the Ball movement is on point. That's his best attribute. On his full debut for France, he scored two good goals. That he has been playing in a team that has little creativity nor require the wingforward to drift inside doesn't negate Lemar off the ball movement. Atletico's coach doesn't probably want competition for Griezman centre role like Mbappe competed with him at the world cup hence tthe reason why he instructed the wing forwards to always keep the width instead of drifting inside.

With Lemar, PSG would have proceeded to the next stage whereas Mbappe couldn't even control a simple ball.
Its a crying pity nobody agrees with you. Not Simeone, not Deschamps and not Jardim. Why is everyone denying Lemar like the neighborhood olosho?

How do you sleep at night defending such a barren and unproductive player?

Same Lemar that did zilch against Juve both home and away?

Fact is no player suddenly come into form after a long linjury ay off. They may have recuperated well but the mental aspect part of it still need to be taken care of. They would still be scared of combating on the pitch because of the niggling fear of suffering another injury would be on their mind. That was what happened to Torres but instaed of staying in a familair welcoming environment like Liverpool, he made a wrong move to Chelsea.

Anyway, Costa case is a different story. Costa should be playing either as a SS like he did at Atletico before his move to Chelsea or be deployed as the main striker without another similar forward competing with him. Morata holdup playing style suits Atletico 442 set up than Costa. Did you just say Morata can't hold up play? Lol. That was his best attribute at juventus. Mandzuki was brought in as a replacement after he left.

Look at the attachment below and tell me how Saul is a cm? Even whoscored listed him as a defender. You obviously haven't watched Saul play

Griezman has grown a reputation of being the best SS. He's the best in his position, so why move him from his best position?

Lol. Everyone and his dog knows Chelsea CL triumph was a lucky win. The team was struggling in 6ty position for crying out loud and that was when we didn't have Tottenham hurricane then. Abeg go and sit down in one place.

Who says Lemar can't play without Pogba? Did he have Pogba at Monaco? I said Lemar needs a creative midfielder in the team even as Mbappe requires creative midfied behind him but one thing I know is Lemar would never fall on his ass under no pressure like Mbappe kept doing when he was provided with chances against manunited.

Griezman was a wing forward until his move to Atletico. Lemar is a wing forward but at he's at his best as a SS. He's Simeone's best bet to replace Griezman.

Griezman, Atletico's main man did nothing against juventus as well but one fact is Lemar wouldn't fall on his ass if he had the chances Mbappe had against manutd. Fact!

Well, Lemar hasn't been playing as a forward for months now, he's been playing as a touchline winger for Atletico. So stop comparing his output with a forward output. Rather, let's compare Mbappe's ball control to that of Lemar.

Lemar didn't cost Atletico against juventus because the whole Atletico team was bad and he didn't have the chances Mbappe had against manutd but the true fact is Mbappe cost PSG advance into the next stage. Fact!

If the structure of the club isn't revamped, especially concerning new signings, OGS will find himself with a very hard task. A handful of the new signings we made post-Ferguson are of quality. A large percentage of them na hit and miss.
OGS has done very well motivating these guys and squeezing results out of them.
And both games he's lost so far can go down to poor defending in the end.

I just wish the board goes out to get good players early enough b4 or during the pre-season for whoever would be the next manager.

Not like b4 that by August ending and 2 games into the season and we go still dey find players for market

Na you sabi. Lemar needs to play in his best role which is a wing forward or SS, I would only judge him after that. As for Mbappe, he should go learn the basic of not falling on his ass under no pressure.
