The most important thing is to use your brain if you have one.

I will always expose you, lemme ask lordfalcao to witness it too.

I must use my brain and not follow squawka, right? Below is a blast from the past from your useless self, mocking anyone questioning squawka. grin

Abeg someone should come and carry this guy away from here.
Imagine someone says squawka is a phony link. You keep disgracing the club you support and these are the people who support the claim that Chelsea fans are largely ignorant

I am asking you if you have any brains to use it and tell us if Suarez was a poacher at any time in his career

Only a rankk idiiot will say Suarez was a fox in the box

"A deadly striker, a player who scores most goals in the box, not particularly skillful but scores a lot of goals."

A fox in the box is usuallt used to describe target men who operate mainly in the box like Inzaghi, Nistelrooy. Strikers whose job is to poach

No one can watch Suarez for 90mins and think he fits into that bill, Since Suarez roams around a lot and is comfortable anywhere in attack

Suarez is not a fox in the box. That is what airmark does not know, he heard the term and he thought oh, what a fancy term let me just throw it out there.

That is the disadvantage of half education
Nobody's job is it to poach, players are only labeled poachers when they are constantly in and around the 'D' burying chances as they come...Suarez can be labeled a fox in the box because away from his creative side of the game, he is one of the most dangerous in the box.
You guys are looking at Inzaghi and the likes and thinking every strikers who is a fox in the box must always be in the box and most not be very good with the ball (dribbling and passing) but you're not entirely correct...Nistelrooy for instance was a fox in the box but he was always a very good player away from the box, his dribbling was good, he could pass and shoot from outside the box.

Christiano Ronaldo is a fox in the box...Argue all you want. Unlimited22 clearly explained it in one of his post.
For you guys, a fox in the box striker must be a natural poacher and nothing more but for a fact, it's not true.

No point arguing with people that can't tell the difference between strikers like
Chicharito
Gomez
Solksjaer
Sheringham
Fowler
Klose
Van Horseface
Inzaghi
Crespo
Fowler
Mboma


And strikers like
Eto'o
Henry
Suarez
Ronaldo
Griezmann
Benzema

Messi isn't very Mucha fox in the box, he builds most of the attacks with scintillating dribbling and in some cases, defense splitting passes before arriving at the box to bury the chances in mostly signature moves. At first, it was a one-two with Alves, now it's a cut back from Alba.

Ronaldo, Nistelrooy, Inzaghi, Suarez etc are predators that feed on half chances and can score with just about any part of their bodies, head, right or left foot, chest, knees etc.

E say Predator. Predator ko Commando ni. You watch Suarez play for Uruguay and Barca setting up Cavani and his other teammates Sturridge at Liverpool as well and you still call him a fox in the box?

Suarez and Ronaldo are versatile players who don't rely on service to score. They can score and create. Inzaghi, Nistelrooy, Solksjaer, Fowler, Crespo all needed service.

See where you are getting it wrong, that a strikers is a fox in the box doesn't mean that he is entirely useless outside the box or depends on others to score. Inzaghi is no the standard, he is only a part of a bigger picture.

You are the one getting it wrong because you simply don't understand the basic terminology and what brought about the name to begin with

That is exactly what it entails. So calling a Ronaldo and Suarez foxes in the box tells me you just don't know

Na lie grin grin. I had always thought Nihilist was more of a Saint Obi kind of guy.

I remember Hanks those years for Nollywood though. The original bad boy. He was always either playing a ruthless hitman, a daredevil armed robber or a thug. He was so heavily stereotyped that the moment you see him in a movie, you know what was coming.

Those days of home videos sha. Memories.

Below is the definition of a fox in the box. Tell me after watching Suarez if he fits into the part in bold

A deadly striker, a player who scores most goals in the box, not particularly skillful but scores a lot of goals. .
Example: (Headline) Rasmussen: I’m a fox in the box. Morten Rasmussen has told Celtic fans the Parkhead club have signed an old-fashioned penalty box striker.

Ronaldo is a fox in the box.. If you watched him in real Madrid from the moment he turned 30, you'll realize he changed his game alot. And even at Manchester he was already working towards being one.

Football has evolved beyond just attackers waiting to score goals.. Now they also involve in build-up plays but that still doesn't mean the poachers ain't poachers. THEY JUST DO MORE NOW. cool

Saint Obi was the closest thing we had to a James Bond stereo type - suave, smooth talking and dangerous.

Hanks wasn't the original bad boy.

Classic nollywood aficionados will point to Segun Arinze during his legendary run in the 90s - with his role as Black Arrow in silent night probably his magnum opus.

Francis Duru as Ahanna to me was the baddest of all bad boys to ever grace the silver screen in Nigeria sha.
