No one is paying me to be stressing my memory trying to remember the last reasonable trophy guys won.

It's a memory thing...I get now.

DumaEmpire:
Lampard was hardly a big game performer. Ole almost made him his second wife at Chelsea. Against Man City man lost. The man never managed to even draw against Liverpool not to talk of winning in the big games. Only managed to do so once in the FAcup which he went on to lose against Arsenal who still flogged him 3-1 the following season. He lost 7-1 to Bayern. Go check his win percentage at Chelsea. Nothing impressive

I clearly stated here back then Lampard had to improve his win percentage is was too average, some of those games were lost due to the players and not the manager, this fact is true. There was hardly ever a game where you would say Lampard got the players selected or tactics wrong, well till this past winter that is.

Ole has always been ole, be can beat any top team but never makes his victories count.

We lost most games down to defence and GK, don't forget, maybe if Lampard had gotten Rice, who knows, there were big games Chelsea turned up to, and some ended in a draw or a loss.

Buhari don ban Twitter.

Nihilistjnr how far.

Someone based in Nigeria should check if Twitter is still working for them

timbros:


Kante signed for who in 2014? Which year did he win EPL with Leicester?

sorry 2016

Seems like Giroud prefers winning tophies from the bench than winning nothing for playing
Wise man

I don't see any gain in this

swiz123:
And he came to Chelsea in 2006. He couldn't adapt to the league and to Jose.
Hazard is tested and trusted. EPL is his league.

Torres also adapted to the league in Liverpool before he flopped

BlueAngel444:
this is not true and a result of short term memory, from his days at derby beating united to Chelsea, the game against ajax, and united, and other teams. Make una dey calm down

Tuchel is now the best thing, till he fvcks up and you will all forget he won the UCL, I recall how attacking but also imbalance di matteo's team was in contrast to the previous season, it doesn't mean he wasn't good, it was due to poor buyings.

That's why a manager like pep can never do what Zidane did, go into a big team use the players and bring out the best in them without spending a countries defence budget

One would be stupid to think pep Guardiola would have coached a prime Ronaldo who could score from virtually nothing and not do better than zidane.

BlueAngel444:
he almost did, didn't he?

When was the last time Derby reached "almost promoted"
This same Lampard if he manages in Germany would be very much celebrated and grow into a top boss

Like Klopp and Tuchel

raumdeuter:


Torres also adapted to the league in Liverpool before he flopped

Torres started showing signs of decline probably due to injuries before making that move in January. I was always skeptical of that move.

Ibime:

For Giroud or for CFC?

swiz123:


This is fallacy. How many trophies did City have from 2008 till 2016. Compare it to what Pep won and tell me why those previous managers weren't as dominant.

He will tell you country's budget while forgetting their city rivals are also spending without anything to show for it.

MorataFC:
Even Sir Alex Ferguson's team is not well balanced compare to this Pep's team yet he won many trophies. Pep had/have best legs in every department above others manager in epl, as specialist in failure Mou thinks Wenger is, give Wenger this Pep's team he will win ucl back to back.

BlueAngel444:
No city manager has spent the amount pep has spent, not even at the inception when heavy injections into the squad is normal.
How is it fallacy that pep has had some of the best players

Secondly, most teams in england have been unstable, either injuries or the finance to buy and cover for those injuries. Most teams have managed their squad, not pep. So pleaseeeeeeee

Why has manure not shown the same dominance despite having almost the same net spend with City in the last 8 years?

Wow, Nigeria govt ban Twitter https://www.nairaland.com/6586974/fg-used-twitter-announce-suspension

popizaino:


One would be stupid to think pep Guardiola would have coached a prime Ronaldo who could score from virtually nothing and not do better than zidane.

A Pep who only won 50% of his UCL campaigns with Messi Vs a Zidane who won 100% of his campaigns with Ronaldo.

Is Ronaldo better than Messi?

I'm impressed by Buhari's balls, I didn't know he had it in him

it had to be done

I don't know how the suspension plays out in practice, and I don't really care either. For me it's not about blocking Nigerian access to Twitter completely. We dont have to crack down VPN access...the message has been sent officially, and that's enough for me.

Katcall:
What! Did you see torres and shevchenko play. Pleaaaaaase

You didn't see Hazard play for Chelsea so pleaseeeeee!!!!!... Sheving ko... Bic ni

Drogba isn't a better player than Henry but it's no secret than you can win big with Drogba than with Henry. Take a clue from here .

popizaino:


This your hindsight will not work for me and I wont be repeating myself on a matter that has been overfloged here . The Barca pep Guardiola met played UCL play-off to qualify for the competition which they later won under pep so much for the best team that anyone could win anything with .

Yes even if person no play FIFA or pes, and na ps1 winning eleven, you remember the following names

Henry, Messi, Ego

Pedro and Gudjohsen were the smaller guys
Xavi, iniesta, Toure, Busquets, Keita, Hleb in midfield

Puyol, Milito, Pique, Marques, Abidal, Caceres, Sylvinho, Alves

Which challenge did pep face?

Is it Real Madrid that did not know the direction they were going, even the managers name has been forgotten, Berne Schuster with a midfield filled with players like Gago, Diarra, Garcia, Guti(manageable) and only two AMs sneijder and Van Dee vaart that were also manageable.

Robben and Robihno were just annoying, only Raul and the new kid Higuain tried

Marcelo was too young, Ramos was a rb then I think, the only better defender was not Pepe but an old retiring Cannavaro.

Ibime:


I don't see any gain in this

From Giroud perspective there's lots to gain cos of the trophies... Super Cup, Club world cup etc
From Chelsea's i think he's there for a backup. Abraham could be sold this summer.
I see no harm in it to both parties

He used Twitter to announce it

but he coached the stolen Lewandoski and achieved almost nothing

swiz123:


Shevchenko and Torres were never technically gifted as Hazard.

Wonderful

So Giroud is staying??

BlueAngel444:

Klopp also coached Lewandoski and what did he achieve from it

swiz123:


Torres started showing signs of decline probably due to injuries before making that move in January. I was always skeptical of that move.

Mata also adapted to the EPL before he stopped adapting

I don't want to believe that you had the facilities to be watching our games then and yet you were at large here. I don't know what you know about tactics but it's clearly too poor. Lampard's cluelessness on tactics was too loud.

He played Azpi as a RB knowing that he lacks pace; played Jorginho as a lone DM; used Havertz as a winger despite knowing he can't track back to cover Azpi; used Abraham as a number 9 while spamming crosses.

swiz123:


He used Twitter to announce it

Well, I dont know how they intend for the suspension to work. I don't know if it's a case of restricting access, or preventing twitter from advertising to Nigerian userbase.

The most important thing was an official response for now, and then they can take whatever action later. I hope Buhari and co actually go through with sha and not just talk, otherwise they would look even more impotent.

swiz123:


Why has manure not shown the same dominance despite having almost the same net spend with City in the last 8 years?

Because the dumb asses hired white haired baby faced slayer, that keeps murdering their dreams to a trophy

And also buying high for players, imagine paying sancho 500k per week so he doesn't sign for city or expending 100m just to get Lukaku, 89m to get pogba. 80m for Maguire. Like that like that, then 80m for Bruno

raumdeuter:


Mata also adapted to the EPL before he stopped adapting

Mourinho happened to Mata. He alone shattered his confidence and manure's mediocrity buried the remains.
