Roland17:
I don’t think Ajala can the irony in his hypocrisy. In January, Ajala came out and told the world Bronny can play for the Lakers now, easy.

Now you asking the world to leave his son alone after he did not even make the mock draft. In simple terms, he isn’t good enough to be a one and done. nobody thinks he would be drafted if he declared this year.

Man, you set your son to fail with your mouth. You can’t eat your cake and have it. I said it here last here that the only reason Bronny is a topic is because he is Ajala’s son. Otherwise, he isn’t an NBA player based on what we saw in high school and college this year.

He needs another year and hopefully, he can push and become a 2nd round pick in 2025.

That boy I'm seeing needs 3 years in college minimum. If he wasn't LeNomad's son we wouldn't give a fvck about him to be very candid.

When he came out to say his boy is better than actual professionals you're forced to wonder if he truly is as smart as often claimed. Outside the court at least. Cos how can he not see the kind of pressure that puts on the boy

Now he must really put his narcissism to the side and ask himself what means the world to him. Playing with the son or the son having a respectable NBA career because he will not have both

Clippers gonna Clip. I've seen more choking in g@ng bang p0rn than what I just saw.

Lebron credit to him should not be outscoring your entire team in the 4th. It's why it would be a cold day in hell before I ever accept the Clippers are title contenders.

They have the spirit of choke and b!!tch in them

Honlucas:
Watching Lakers games last night I was so angry I have to go to bed .

Shooting useless 3's that won't enter.. if they drive in the box and score 2 point is better than wasting the ball for 3point..

We get called Haters for speaking the truth too early

nateevs:
@Dayo @A40 You guys watch more Bundesliga than we do. What was your opinion of Nkunku before he joined Chelsea?

He was really good at Leipzig. Pretty explosive. That injury he got shortly after joining you guys must have really affected him cos I don't recognize this Nkunku I'm seeing. Remember he had another injury that made him miss the WC the previous season, then missed another 4 weeks or so again

You have to hope and pray you have not bought a permacrock at this point because he might be tracking in that direction

Silentgroper:
Total cap

Not cap. Them full my social media. It's on this forum I see Thiago praise, everywhere else it's mostly slander

kendrick9:
But we're not talking of his Liverpool time, rather his Bayern days.
He won everything for Bayern and left on a high.
You guys still haven't found a suitable replacement for him which is amongst the reason you're struggling, especially in Europe.

And Naby Keita was bought for over 50m to be the man and the future of the midfield and failed badly.

Thiago was bought for a specific reason, a player to help a change in style after Wijnaldum exit.

And when on the pitch he has been good, hell he made the Premier league XI in 21/22 season.

He was our best midfielder in the COVID run in when top 4 was clinched

Problem is he can't just stay fit

Klopp to your Thiafraud when he asks for a medal today and the end of the season when they win the league

Thiago Making this premier league xi ahead of rodri is one of the biggest fraud I have ever seen sha

Toh. Thiafraud

Went ghost mode in the Finals as usual

kendrick9:

With help. You say it like he won by himself. It took him 7 seasons to win everything

Lmaoo. What is this nigga on about? In Thiago's 7 seasons at Bayern how many times did we make the Final? What is his impact at his new club?

Playing two seasons with Choupo fvckin Moting at striker and hiring a technical numpty like Tucheliban isn't the problem it's side and short pass merchant Thiago that's the reason we struggled

Thiago's time at Liverpool has been an unmitigated failure. 4 seasons and you can only point to 1 season where he has had any decent performances

I don't know one Liverpool fan that rates Thiago and his time at Liverpool honestly. I think the Kendrick chap is more of a Thiago fan than a Liverpool fan because I can't imagine defending their worst signing in a decade at least (Naby Keita might have something to say about that)

Harry Kane with a dagger goal

kendrick9:
Lol. So you're blaming Thiago for those losses.
Look at those teams you posted.

You had a geriatric Alonso and Thiago in a two man midfield. Vidal the only energetic one in an attacking role, then the over the hill Robbery up against a formidable Real Madrid who had prime BBC.

Who else do we blame? Now you're doing spinaroonie. You want to give him glory for the wins and exempt him from blame for the losses. Sorry frero but that's not how it works

Thiago was not a difference maker in any of the matches. You can't even point to any important contributions. A goal, an assist, a clear chance created. Just stealing oxygen and doing cardio

[quote author=kendrick9 post=128619546]The other lineup you had Alonso, Bastian, Lahm and Thiago up against MSN Barca.
Alonso, Bastian, Lahm were slow at that point and were close to retirement.

These are who you have against a a vibrant MSN, BBC sides and you expect a miracle
And you have the galls to blame Thiago

You're not sleek. I thought you claimed Kimmich and co were doing nothing till Thiago showed up to save the day. Why are you now changing story? Bottomline is Thiago failed woefully with midfield veterans, he was supposed to be a difference maker with his youth but did absolutely nothing

kendrick9:
And I remember Thiago was one of the few bright spots in those games.
You're not the only one who watched those CL games, I did too.

Patently false. He was not a difference maker in any of the losses.

Did absolutely nothing

kendrick9:
You have to blame your squad planning, it was bad at that point.

To maximize the best of Thiago, you need an energetic player beside him. You can see when
Goretza came and that partnership won a convincingly.

Hansi Flick recognized that which is why he won a lot and even tried convincing Thiago to stay.
After he left everything went to sh!t and he was sacked the following season

Every player, even the best needs the right pieces around to get the best out of them.

Long and short of your epistle is Thiago was a nonentity till Kimmich and Goretzka came to bail him out. Btw Flick was not sacked. Can you get your facts right for once?

Meanwhile Thiago at Liverpool has been one of their Biggest flops, bigger than Naby Keita. Will leave Liverpool as a running joke we will remember for years to come.

All his meaningless tricks and flicks we were helping him hide for Bundesliga, check our threads we know him well and talked at length about it all got exposed under EPL microscope now he will be forever known as Mr Idea Ball

A40:
Fantastic fullback in his day. Now the first player from that WC winning class of 90 to pass on

Went to watch more clips of Brehme. What a clutch player. Scoring and assisting in WC knockout games, scoring crucial penalty kicks as well

May he RIP

Alonso 11 points ahead. 33 games unbeaten new BuLi record

I told y'all zero chance they don't win the league

oliverano:
Lol

Meanwhile, Thiago spent his whole career trying to do the short passing sequence like Xavi. While Xavi was give and go, Thiago was/is give and stay. He'll twist, turn left, right and center only to do a 2 yard pass with outside his right foot.

There's a reason why he wasn't a top candidate for Spain even when all the maestros retired from international football. Like his bro, he's very prone to injuries.

But Thiago should be thankful. He has a good following in Arthur Melo. Melo will twist, turn and pass back to the nearest CB.

He(Thiago) isn't a bad player though!

Don't mind these people coming here to try and revise history.

The truth is Thiago was more flash than substance. He's a decent player but was never a midfield generalissimo

He will bully the Arsenal's, Portos but against the big boys midfield dey always swallow am. It was what we saw time and again till a fit Goretzka came and became the muscle man of the midfield. I can understand Thiago being a favorite of FM nerds and Twitter tacticos but 10 years from now when they're mentioning midfielders that defined an era nobody is mentioning goddamn Thiago except for being the originator of Idea Ball banter

raumdeuter:
Since the start of his Premier League career and Liverpool’s dip in form recently, opposition fans have taken to trolling the Spaniard by calling him the “idea” player, suggesting his neat touches, passes and flicks are ultimately irrelevant to his team’s play and are cosmetic with no actual substance.

This dig by Everton must have hurt even Liverpool fans even more as the midfielder was hooked early in the second half of their 4-1 loss to Man City at Anfield.

Streets will never forget pandemic Thiago. He was the S.I unit for banter for the entire Football Twitter

E sure me if you see Thiago for airport and shout Idea, he will turn back and look or wave cos he know say na him them dey talk about

kendrick9:
The Kimmich who you praised as the German lion is about to be shipped out.
Bayern are looking for buyers, any maga wey bring huge sums now, otilo.
Maga don pay😀
Since Thiago left, Kimmich and Goretza has been exposed as a fraudlent midfield combo.
Thiago suffered injuries during his Bayern days but when he finally got fit, he won you guys the CL in a commanding fashion.
Respect your Legend

Blame Tucheliban for the Kimmich debacle. He's leaving for a reason

Thiafraud was there all the big CL ties we lost to Madrid,Atletico, Barca you can only fool the uninformed. Not OG like me wey don tey pass Schnapps.

He was directly responsible for the loss to Atletico when his papier mache ass got dispossessed and led to the deciding goal. Don't get me started on that fraud.

All 4 graphics below point out Kimmich and Goretzka there

kendrick9:
There was a time Raumdeuter and A40 were on how Kimmich carried their midfield to CL win in 2020.
I never bought into the hype.
Time has proven that Thiago carried that midfield.
Kimmich ain't that good. He should return to RB where he started

Please stop disturbing us about that fraud.

Three seasons now he's in Liverpool college of medicine. Doing feckall. Besides why him carriage no enter their national team?

Since 3pt spamming became a thing. Only one team has gone on to win championships with it. It's not a coincidence that said team has a certain Steph Curry on it's roster.

This board too stupid. Why let Tuchel stay till end of season? The man is already a failure at the club and now he has zero incentive to deliver anything.

Basically wasted a year and a half

More than Tuchel the squad has to undergo a clearing out as well. We've had a disaster class of signings in recent memory

birdman:
They are, but the business side of it is ruining things. Its almost getting to the point you have to go to the streets to watch a decent game.

Lets not take the "more skilled" thing personal. It doesnt take away from the greatness of MJ, Magic, etc. Truth is the game has advanced, many of these guys are playing only bball from as early as 5, and they know a lot of tricks. The problem is the mindset is still not like the greats.

Bruhh. All I'm seeing in these games is a 3pt spam off. There's a reason all the metrics and ratings are down in the supposedly most skilled era. It's not the same with the NFL it's other main competitor

This is not about Jordan and Magic. This is the cold and bitter truth. Nothing is exhilarating to me about watching Dame spam 26 3s at an all star game.

When you want to talk about skills I saw prime Jason Kidd, Tony Parker, Kevin Johnson, Steve Nash, Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis aka Franchise, Jason Williams (white chocolate) and I saw far more skills, finesse and pizazz than I am seeing today.

Peak Harden? Lmaoo. How the hell does his game translate in the playoffs? I would rather watch all those guys I listed above play than James Harden. There's nothing remotely pleasing about his game for me and most fans

KAT? That 7ft 3pt spamming merchant that goes ghost come playoff time? Anyway I'm not surprised you're the one who compared him to KG

It's ironic that even Kawhi you mention that's the only credible player is a throwback to the previous era

When we are talking strictly guard play I can count on one hand today the guys I'm wowed by and enjoy seeing today. The rest all play the same spam spam spam 3s, budget Steph Curry basically. And the numbers agree with me that people are not feeling today's game like they used to

oliverano:
Chai, RIP to him.

I remember him. One of those energetic players with actual football brain. Right foot, left foot. He really knew how to use his legs.

Fantastic fullback in his day. Now the first player from that WC winning class of 90 to pass on

R.I.P Andreas Brehme.

This has not been a good season at all

Just cancel the game already.

It's turn to a 3pt spam off. Shey they told us this era's players are the most skilled yenyenyen

Emaprince:
This is my major problem with the man.

People are poor already but he still want to tax them to death...making it very hard for them to ever be able to afford anything.

We will reduce their purchasing power comes to mind.

Tax tax and tax....and the money is never put to good use.

There's no plan in their head. Nigerians don't know how grievous a mistake they've made with this man

As someone that firmly believes what is bad can always get worse we pleaded with these people to remove tribe and religion cos the shege will not recognize all this. They didn't listen

BlueRayDick:
I called this early in the campaign period, but APC supporters thought I was talking nonsense. Oya Tinubu is there now, make he wave his magic wand and generate income for the country other than increasing tax of an already impoverished people ...... E turn wahala

No one can convince me they voted for Tinubu for any other reason than tribe and religious bias. Definitely not competency

Widen the tax net, increase IGR (wey no translate into anything to life of citizens) taxation, taxation, taxation while reducing spending power of Nigerians. That is the only thing for him brain. Even 24 years ago. Talkless of an older washed version of him now

When I tell you the P in APC stands for poverty. I'm not mincing words.

Buhari said Nigerians will miss him and you have to wonder if he was right

Is there anything in this Tinubu brain apart from tax?

You guys elected a glorified agbero into office.

Anybody flying Nigeria airlines now should start packing anointing oil.

birdman:
leave dem, agenda must agend. They are always looking for things to whine on. the witchcraft behind this pronouns nonsense is strong

They aren't fans. Sports is just another tool to push their agenda

Roland17:
And men would not have forgiven Steph! I am not sure what the purpose or end game of such comp is, especially if She used a WNBA ball. She should be competing with C. Clark and trying to uplift the women’s game not competing against men.

Lol. Don't underestimate these woke shitfvcks man. That was all Kenny said yesterday that these dweebs came for his head.

Same thing Michael Porter Jr was trying to say they also came for his neck. They try to be halfway crooks, instead of embracing that you're women and lower rims, you're using same rim but smaller balls, so who is fooling who?

They're not interested in that. They want to share spotlight with men that have built their league and shame their fans into watching WNBA instead of growing their game organically. There's more women than men in America. If even 10% of them cared about their sports genuinely they would be making NBA money

greypencils:
The thing self no make sense. There had better not be a repeat in subsequent All star games. We are managing our watery 3pt spamming in the NBA as it is, nobody wants women interference. They should just stick to the WNBA and leave us the way we are.

They said they are trying to promote the WNBA. I've never understood that group. You walk around trying to compete with men and be equals yet need their help

How do you require help from an equal? Make it make sense.

You don't need male assistance but every chance you get you want to piggyback off them and shame men for not watching your league

Roland17:
To God if he had planned to allowing her win, E for no end well for Steph. He did not take it seriously though, he looked like he was crushing but in the final rack he put the stamp.

Lol. Disaster averted. You already have these pronouns and pseudo sports fans claiming Caitlin Clark can play in the NBA.

Thanks to the menace of 3 pt spamming.

Can you imagine if she had won? Agenda would have been generational

Skrrrrrrr:
Steph was actually really casual with it. I thought he was gonna let her win. I'm glad he did win because people are already saying she equalled the mens record at the 3pt contest.
Agenda for plenty...

They've been cooking Kenny Smith since cos he didn't play along to deceive the public that they were using the same ball. They've called him sexist, misogynist. I really cannot stand this cupcake buttersoft folks. Feminazi women and feminized men alike

You're always itching to be viewed as equal to man well why not do the heavy lifting men do? You think competing and being viewed as equal is purely on vibes and feelings

I know they will shame him to apologize but I hope he stands 10 toes

A40:
Your Upamenonsense is a rubbish defender that's all we know. He has now put Bayern's qualification in jeopardy, while Boateng was helping Bayern to trebles

Upamenonsense is getting red cards giving out penalties and dropping disaster class after disaster class.

Nobody's opinion has changed about your useless defender mr man

See me predicting future
