pkasso: This is definitely some new shyt from you. There is no single Chelsea player I have not criticised in the past if I felt they had fvcked up. Luiz and Alonso fvcked up yesterday, so I am talking about them. Is that a sin? After weeks of being shut up by the stellar performances of the Brazilian, he is back trying to find faults where there are none. He has a history of painting Luiz as terrible, useless defender I don't get how I've been 'shut up'. Luiz has been playing very well so far. I'm only voicing my opinion about yesterday's game. I've taken a special interest in Chelsea this season particularly because of Luiz. I saw the Boro game and to honest, there was nothing bad about Luiz' performance. A few misplaced long passes and a booking for a hard tackle on Negredo, which is understandable. 'The Beast' has a strong physical presence and you don't expect Luiz to go easy on him We all have different understandings and interpretations of the game so I can understand if you didn't see what I saw. I saw Luiz pulled out of position a couple of times, and I saw him a head a ball straight into the path of Negredo in the box. Whilst it would be harsh to say Luiz had a terrible game, I don't think it would be remiss to say he didn't have a very good one. He is the defensive anchor of a backline that has gone 6 straight matches without conceding. Even Diego Costa hailed him as the leader of the Chelsea defence. As the most central of the three CBs, he is tasked with shutting down opposition strikers and building attacks from the back. They say Luiz can't defend, yet he has shackled Vardy, IBRA, pocketed Austin, Lukaku and Negredo. Bad belle no go allow people talk truth. Awon football Einsteins. Many of us have also criticised Cahill, yet he has also yet he has shackled Vardy, IBRA, pocketed Austin, Lukaku and Negredo. 3 central defenders tend to overwhelm lone strikers. In other news, water is wet. I don't know what's prompting your diatribe bro, but you need to chill out. You've been carrying this Luiz matter on your head from time, looking for an opportunity to use your fist and not your mouth in his defence. Take off your heart-shaped glasses and stop being so mobscene bro. E no reach all this one. 4 Likes |

Nihilist: While I agree that Nigeria is garbage in Sports, I will also say there is this kind of nationalism among some Nigerian youths who didnt even grow up in Nigeria Some of them tend to like Nigeria more than those of us who grew up in Naija, they will fill any club once dey hear PSquare, DBanj or Olamide is coming while we wey grow up there would just be like whatever Some of these guys too might have faced some covert racism and just desire to play for a country where they are black and in some cases some of them have very little chances of making the foreign national team and just take the next best option Also for some, they are just Naija by name they never lived with their Nigerian parent and they might actually be "Paper babies" I am suspecting Dele Alli is that. cos I told you like 2yrs ago that I think I know his dad. He lives in Texas and looks like he left Naija went to UK to hustle small get iwe, move to Canada before landing in Yankee. Also Dele Alli exploded out of the blocks and he was the best English young player, with al that potential earning for a grade B National team I doubt he will want to come play in Kano Pillars stadium or National stadium where some almajiri will stone you with urine in pure water sachet 1 Like |

raumdeuter: That's only because Afrobeats music is reigning now. 10-15 years ago, naija people here in the UK always used to deny their heritage. You'll be hearing someone called Wasiu Adelabu claiming that he's from St Lucia or Chinwe Ogadi saying that her mom is from St Kitts. These days its the Caribs who are trying to be Naijamans. Also for some, they are just Naija by name and they might actually be "Paper babies" I am suspecting Dele Alli is that. cos I told you like 2yrs ago that I think I know his dad. He lives in Texas and looks like he left Naija went to UK to hustle small get iwe, move to Canada before landing in Yankee. Dele Alli is from Milton Keynes. Outside places like Peckham, Erith, Thamesmead etc Milton Keynes has possibly the highest concentration of Naija people in England. I used to live literally 35 minutes up the M1 in Northampton. Alli would definitely know that he is Nigerian(I heard he even lived in Naija for a while)...he just does not give two about your country. |

Alli would definitely know that he is Nigerian(I heard he even lived in Naija for a while)...he just does not give two about your country. Maybe because Alli blew up early in his career was why he decided to go for the better footballing nation. From what I read, He has little relationship with both of his biological parents and his dad had to fly to try beg him but he even didnt want to see him If a player has shown great potential early on he would most likely play for the superior footballing nation. If they see their chances limited in the bigger nation then they will opt for the lesser country 1 Like |

raumdeuter: Alaba is just unfortunate. Born right next door to Germany, in a country that is culturally German yet due to politics will likely never achieve any meaningful international success. I'm not surprised that he would have tried to play for naija though. His other options were Austria and Phillipines. I bet he took one look at the tactically indisciplined akpu benders at AFCON and fancied his chances at winning some silverware. I think it says a lot if it's true that NFF turned him down and preferred akpu benders like Elderson Echiejile and Taiye Taiwo. Just confirms that the super Eagles squad is full of players who buy their way in, and one or two talented players with no other options. 1 Like |

In-form Eden Hazard speaks to the
official Chelsea website about boyhood
dreams, brotherly love and being ready
to adapt…
Since making his professional debut nine
years ago this month, Eden Hazard has
clocked up nearly 500 competitive
appearances. He’s scored well over 100 goals.
He’s won individual and collective titles in
France and England, and he’s represented his
country at a World Cup and, as captain, a
European Championships.
Yet the beauty of football lies not just in
the wonderful memories that linger, but the
fresh experiences, be they sudden or long
sought-after, that materialise. Only last
week did Hazard fulfil a childhood dream.
For the first time in a senior career already
sprinkled with stardust, he got to play
alongside his little brother Thorgan, who
joined him on the pitch for the final half-an-
hour of Belgium’s friendly draw with Holland
in Amsterdam.
‘Ten years ago when we played in the garden
together we said if one day we could play
together in the same team, for a club or for
our country, it would be really good,’ Hazard
smiles. ‘It was our dream, and now it’s
happened.’
Eden and Thorgan’s parents, both impressive
sportspeople themselves, were watching on
TV at home. ‘They must have been so proud,’
the eldest brother says with affection. His
mum and dad saw their two sons linking up
in the Amsterdam Arena just as they did in
their Belgian backyard, all those years ago.
‘We exchanged some passes, yeah. I
remember the first thing I said to him was
that now he was on the pitch he had to run
for me! He said ‘okay, no problem’. He’s a
good little brother.’
And Hazard’s a pretty good big brother, too.
He recently had another of his siblings,
Kylian, staying with him while he was
getting treatment for an injury at Cobham.
‘I take care of my little brothers!’ he laughs.
Eden is as much a footballer as a family
man.
On the pitch, things have been going pretty
well when he’s had a ball at his feet. On
Friday, he was named Player of the Month
for October, recognition for his sterling
contribution to our faultless league form
that carried into the first week of November
when we thrashed Everton, Hazard twice a
scorer and heavily involved in the other
three.
It’s now seven goals in 11 league appearances
for the 25-year-old so far in a season that
has been unusually sparse of fixtures, owing
to our lack of European involvement. It’s
another new footballing experience for
Hazard, and one he suggests has in some
respects been beneficial, not least as
everybody continues to gets to grips with
Antonio Conte’s management style.
‘It’s the first time I am not playing in the
Champions League or the Europa League. I
prefer to play all the time because I like
football, and I want to play, play, play, and
be on the pitch, but for the body and for
the freshness sometimes it’s good to rest
and be completely ready for the next game.
‘Now we can train the whole week getting
ready for the weekend game and we have
time to adapt. We know everything when we
start the game because the manager has
shown us some clips, and so we know what
to do, and then we try and do it.’
The stats show Hazard has already recorded
more on-target shots from inside the box
this term than he attempted over the
duration of last season, but he puts that
down to the more central position he is
regularly finding himself in rather than a
conscious effort to shoot more often.
‘I try to go straight at the goal and be
decisive for the team. I don’t think a lot
about it, if I shoot or pass. It’s natural. I
try to make the best decision at the best
moment and if that is to shoot then I will
shoot, otherwise I keep dribbling or make a
pass.’
That attitude is the same irrespective of
opposition or location. When we put it to
Hazard that the Blues have the best away
record in the top-flight in the year 2016 –
averaging two points a game – he responds
by shrugging his shoulders and insisting our
approach to games at home or further afield
never changes: ‘we just want to win’.
He accepts there are different routes to that
end, and as such the tactical flexibility on
display this season will continue to prove
pivotal as teams come up with ways to
counter our 3-4-3 formation, as we can
expect a defensively-resolute Middlesbrough
side to do at the Riverside.
‘Maybe for the opposition they now know
where we are good, they can be a little bit
more prepared, they know what they have to
do, and if we want to beat them we have to
be ready for that. It’s the new challenge for
us.’
And it continues today on Teesside as we go
in search of a sixth straight league win. If
Hazard hits the same heights he has in
recent weeks, Boro beware. |

Nihilist: He wanted to play for U17 Eaglets When Bayern Munich won the 2012/2013 UEFA Champions League on May 25, 2013, David Alaba was seen with the Nigerian and Austrian flags strapped around his waist during the victory parade at the Wembly Stadium Alaba was born in Vienna to a Filipino mother who is a nurse and a Nigerian father who is a DJ and former rapper. The five-time Austrian Player of the Year (2011-2015) whose middle name 'Olatokunbo' means 'Wealth From A Foreign Land' in Yoruba language was said to be keen on representing Nigeria at youth level. In fact if all had gone well, the left-back would have been in Nigeria's U-17 squad to the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup handled by the late Yemi Tella but he was not considered despite voicing his interest to play for the Golden Eaglets. "I wanted to play for Nigeria but I must confess that there was no formal approach for me. A scout actually discussed that with me. "I was excited because of my dad, he was a fan of (current Super Eagles coach) Sunday Oliseh when Oliseh played for FC Cologne. As a kid, I loved to watch Victor Agali in the jersey of Hansa Rostock,'' he told an Austrian news medium. ''I got the information that Nigeria would only consider those who were in the country perhaps because of travelling logistics and that is the end of that." Nigeria eventually won the U-17 World Cup but nonetheless would have achieved that with the added 'victory' of locking up one of the world's best young players. Two years later, the rejected stone turned the chief cornerstone as Alaba made his debut for the senior Austria national team in a match against France. He then became the youngest player in the history of the Austrian national team. Alaba has won the Bundesliga title five times as well as the DFB Pokal and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2013.

raumdeuter: Damn. That was that set of them Chrisantus and Haruna Lukmon. Just imagine that. I'm sure that every last member of that squad are football non-entities today. The lack of foresight even at scouting level is symptomatic of the kind of administrative malaise at Glass House. If you skip on Alaba and pick Chrisantus, then I can't actually surprised when you have the cheek to be angry at Moses for not coming to camp despite owing him 40000 dollars. I can't actually brand new when you send u-23 to Brazil without transport money or proper accomodation.

Nihilist:I don't have a problem with constructive criticism. We both know what I'm talking about. Or you do want me to start digging up your anti-Luiz posts? You have always been quick to pick on him. When things go wrong, he is the scapegoat. You've never given him credit for anything despite showing great improvement. You are the only person I've seen blame Luiz for anything in the Boro game. Trying to belittle Luiz' defensive performances because he plays in a back 3 is just cheap. Was Cahill directly marking any of the strikers I mentioned? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nihilist: 8:02am On Nov 22, 2016 |
pkasso: Oga you better park well this morning. And on ya inner light. Luiz was terrible for us in a back two, just like Cahill. Go through these pages and go and look for comments made in game during that period. Now both Cahill and Luiz look ok with an extra man helping them in defence and you're here running your mouth like a tap with no handle. Nobody on this thread wanted Luiz before he came so Nihilist is not alone there. Several people on this thread were cussing Luiz out in a 2 man defence so again Nihilist is not alone there. In fact, during Sundays game, other people on this thread were also cussing out Luiz at the same time I did, so Nihilist is not alone there. So if I'm talking about things that other people can clearly see, how is that scapegoating? Talking about what you saw in the game is irrelevant as you are neither a Chelsea fan nor a football authority... and judging by your posts you sound like Stevie Wonder can probably see further than you anyway. 7 Likes |
