I think they will try minimizing risk by allowing players travel but not fans and the rest of the public. Questionable tactic but might be the way to go if they want to salvage the season.

This is the only logical option. Remember we have Euros in the Summer too and Italy is one of the hosts. The whole thing really is a mess

Ibime:
This one Milan has been quarantined, do you think AC and Inter will be allowed to play games till season end? Quarantine means no travel in or out, so I can't see how they would let them play.

Looks like Juve and Inter are going on today sha.

Milan are supposed to face Genoa in a few minutes and I think it's holding too behind closed doors

Ibime:
I'm not sure it's cardio levels. He is not attentive defensively, and tries to dribble too much through midfield, often losing the ball like Afrodoc2 pointed out.

I am not a fan of central midfielders who run with the ball except the likes of Dembele, Kovacic and Wijnaldum who hardly lose the ball.

Central midfielders first thought should be passing the ball before running with it. That's why I hated Ramires, Bakayoko, Sissoko and co. I thought Ndombele may have better technique than to be losing ball upandan but he is falling into their category from what I've seen so far this season.

Forget about what he does with the ball, off the ball he can barely lug his behind around the pitch.

I mean there are many stereotypical black DMs with agricultural technique and ball control but at least they gave you effort. No be the same Tottenham Sissoko dey? The difference is 20mins into the match you see Ndombele clearly looking gassed.

When you look at Ramires, Sissoko you question their technique and football IQ but never their effort

This Coronavirus will wreck so many things. Euros, Olympics.

Already Chinese GP has been postponed, Bahrain GP will have no spectators

Roland17:
Mourning will run himself out of Spuds like he did at United and his 2nd stint at Chelsea. He is pressing the self destruct button again by dividing the locker room and throwing his players under the bus. He has not learned that football has evolved and I hope this is his last gig.

I stand with Mourinho here. Tanguy Ndombele is a professional footballer and our cardio levels are almost the same. He is clearly not conducting himself professionally.

They should split Israel and Yoel's money and give it to the women. They were far far better

dominique:
Ok thanks.

So the match is still going on live?

It's over. Our guy won but the fight was a massive amaka. Thank your stars you missed it

Anyway I like how these guys are talking with bass in their voices. Keep this same energy when the Clippers hand that L in the regular and postseason. We will not be here for any excuses whatsoever.

Don't come and be telling us Kawhi was load managing and other miscellaneous Okoto meow

steady986:
.

Yeah hold that L for your guy.

dominique:
When does the fight kick off in Nigerian time?

5:30

Stylebender vs Romero tonight. Should be epic

etidy:
Guys guys the mavericks are coming, they are not ready to win it all this year but they look like the 3rd best team in the west already.
They give me the vibes of the golden state team that eliminated Denver and took the spurs to 6 games.
Porzingis is on fire on both ends of the floor and doncic is a superstar and closer. Hardaway and Seth curry have taken a leap this season.

Rick Carlisle is also a good coach.
The lakers and Clippers will be too much for them. But Houston and Denver won't relish facing these guys in the playoffs if they are fit.

Like how will Houston contain porzingis

Lack of perimeter stoppers is the Mavs biggest problem. They have no decent defender that would do even a passable job on a Kawhi or Bron

etidy:
I think it's just one game.. No need to start piling on Giannis or his supporting cast. Nobody said anything when the bucks eviscerated the Clipper's and Lakers a few weeks ago. Now after one game, his supporting cast is bad.
This Team has lost just 10 games this season and won in the absence of Giannis. They are good Abeg. I give them the benefit of doubt.

Clippers were missing Kawhi. The Bucks didn't eviscerate the Lakers, they won by 7

Playoffs and regular season is a different beast. Are you going to bet on a support cast of Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe come playoff time? When Giannis gets covered you need a second guy that can step up and make his own shot. No player has won without that.

Not the GOAT, not Shaq, not Kobe not LeBron not Duncan

steady986:
Just because LeBron chooses not to defend the best players on the opposing team they say he can't defend. Y'all make me laugh. 5-time defensive first team. Jokers

When it's crunch time best believe LeBron gon be guarding your favourite player.

We all saw how he guarded KD those Finals

Lol would be very surprised if the voters still voted Giannis. LeNomad just might have sealed the MVP race just off this game.

Anyway Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe stinking up the joint as usual. What's new? Giannis better wise up and not let those two dunderheads waste his prime make e port go Golden State. How can you the second option in a marquee game like this go 5/19.

Roland17:
While your argument may be logical, I respectfully disagree with it. PG13 suffered that horrific injury while he was still playing for Indiana in 2014 and he has since made tremendous jumps career wise until this season. After his return from injury he averaged 23 points for consecutive seasons in Indiana before he joined OKC. At OKC he had a difficult transition in his first season but exploded in his 2nd and final season, averaging 28 points while playing intelligent and aggressive basketball. Right now he is averaging his lowest points and efficiency ration. Over this period, his 2PA% has dropped significantly while his 3PA% average has spiked.
Players are very vulnerable to short cuts and if not managed properly would become a habit and that that is what George is struggling with. I don’t believe it has much to do with his injury because we saw him at OKC and his final season in Indiana after the injury. PG13 has been an All Star for 3 consecutive seasons after he returned from injury until this season, infact he was in the MVP and DPOY conversation. I remember complaining about this issue at the tail end of last season and now it has become a bad habit he has entrapped himself into.
I get it, his numbers will predictably drop considering he is playing with Kawhi in a more fluid system but his efficiency numbers have also plummeted this season and he has almost become one dimensional in his offense.
Historically George is not a volume scorer, he may have games where he score above 30 here and there but he is renowned to be an efficient scorer who takes high percentage shots and that is not what we are seeing.

But PG has been struggling with shoulder issues since last season and then the shoulder and hamstring this year. In all fairness YG Trece has been far from 80% and that's why the Clippers were over the place ab initio. If he gets to even 80% level the league is in trouble

etidy:
Bradley Beal says he wants to stay in DC:

“I can go to Boston, I can go to Toronto, I can go to Miami…But what would that look like? It wouldn’t necessarily be my team to where now I’m in a situation in Washington where I’m being built around.”

I have zero sympathy for player like Beal and Lillard who chose money over winning or who have this stupid delusion that they can be a 1A on a championship winning squad when they clearly are not.
.
If you're not a proven winner like LeBron, KD, Kawhi,Curry and transcendent talent like Giannis doncic, Embiid, Anthony Davis, Harden you have no business of having an ego of an 1a type of player in this league.
You either lower your ego and beg players or join you or go and join them especially when you are in a small market, You don't further handicap the team by taking the maximum amount of money available and limiting the ability of the team to get the necessary talent if truly you care about winning.

LeBron, wade, KD, Nowitzki and spur legends took pay cuts and made sacrifices to win because they considered winning as number 1.

Then you have clowns like Lillard, Wall and Beal who will eat the whole pie and be forming one fake loyalty when their teams can't win

That one is their problem. Can't be feeling bad for folks signing $100m contracts. They know what they signed up for and I guess they are showing loyalty to an extent.

Obviously though they have not been smart about it

The Clippers just signed Joakim Noah
How many roster spots are they allowed to have again? Lmaoooo

Allison out. Lol when it rains it pours

airmark:


K1's own too much and no make sense. He would use like 5 mins to say nothing but how he was moving from one house to another, who he collected keys from.

This is what the average Nigerian sings about these days. He pioneered that too. As the Mayegun of Fuji

BlueAngel444:
That 2015, MSN had 10+7+10 that is 27goals which is likely the balance you are now pointing to.

2019 MFS had 4+4+5 that is 13 goals, the year they won but it was in 2018 they had that 10+10+10 30goals

Yes you have a point even PSG's front three hasn't produced up to 15goals together

But in 2014 BBC 6+5+17 that is 28goals more than MSN combined which is the subject of your post. Benzema Ronaldo and Callejon have combined to give 20+ goals one season like that, whether Ronaldo was doing all of the work no mean after all Benzema provided a lot of the assists

Ronaldo was leading in goals and assists. Don't bring up BBC at all as the BB were mostly freeloading

What year do you recall two forwards from one team win Golden Boot? Both in the league and Europe. Put respeck on that forward line aneg

etidy:
I think PG 13 change in style has more to do with his adjustment to the major injuries he has had. To ensure his longevity he's settling more for jumpers avoiding contact but I have not doubt he can turn it up when it's needed. He took a leap last year and I think he has it in him if healthy to elevate his game.

Hmm. You make a good point

SmooshCHN:
Thank you for bringing it up. Harden and dynamic scorer cannot be used in the same sentence. All he does is draw fouls and shoot 3s. We can't blame him for using the rules to his advantage but he's no where close to KD when it comes to being a scorer. No defence, doesn't play off the ball, no midrange. He just stays comfortable with what he's good at and it's boring to watch. Then you pair him up with D'Antoni.

I keep hearing those takes from talking heads and pseudo analytics fanboys on Twitter and other media. Honestly I don't see anything that wows me whenever Harden hits the floor.

If you're talking about dynamic scorers you talk of guys like Kyrie, KD,AD, Tatum, Kawhi etc.

I don't like hearing dynamic scorer and Harden in the same sentence

BlueAngel444:
Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo
Messing, Suarez, Neymar


Robben, Ribery, oh oh wait this doesn't count

Lool are we talking of the Frontline where Ororo was doing all the work? Abeg scratch that one out

If you take out MSN which other forward line has done that

airmark:
Adewale Ayuba was better than all of them. I will even pick Osupa for more sensible content than K1. Wtf is 'Eyin mama e sempe?' What is calling 'Yassin' like 150 times continuously?.

He was known for always bragging about his properties all over the world - "Mo lo sile mi ni Chicago, mo gba be lo si lemi ni Toronto, a dari wasi eleyi to wa ni Michigan, ama padawa si Mansion mi meta towa ni London, Manchester ati Kent, omo Anifowoshe".

I like Ayuba too but him no get material reach K1 abeg.

Osupa is what you listen to when you're having marital problems or going through some serious life ish. Which lively party can they play any Osupa song?

K1 is the middle ground for me

Swissh:
Blueray do you know any team in history that can stop the almighty Frontline of Mane, Firmino and Salah?

How many Frontlines combined for 30+ goals in CL history

EmmGee:
so how do i get it in naija

You gotta stream bro

Lol and for Harden yappin about how he's more skilled and what not. I can't imagine people opining he's the most dynamic scorer in league history. Once his 3's are not falling and he can't get to the line Houston we have a problem.

We drag Giannis for being one dimensional but Harden has no midrange game whatsoever.

EmmGee:
hey Bro. is the nba available on dstv?

Lol. Nope

Swissh:
What kind of defenders did Watford have that stopped them

Since football was invented I just want you to show me that team that has never been held scoreless for one match. Do you realize this was the first league game they failed to score?

Lool. The Rockets man. When the 3's don't fall. Just shoot em some more

If the Warriors with the two best shooters of all-time still went out and brought KD I don't know what is with D'Antoni and the Rockets that makes them believe they can rely solely on the 3

airmark:
"Eyin mama mo fe mu oyan yin", is not too vulgar right?

That is why I used a qualifier of some sort. Is K1 as bad as Obesere in that aspect. I don't recall saying he was Obey
