European glory kwanu. Last time I checked, dem no dey give second place cup!

Mans has been at Liverpool since 2015, na only "threat" be him achievement... abegiii, leave matter for mathias

chic2pimp:
Funny how these world beaters suddenly become "Past their prime" the season after Pep leaves. Same was said of the Bayern Players when we asked why they are yet to reach a CL semi(a feat Pep achieved back to back to back)since Pep left them. I 100% guarantee you that the same line of thought would be put forward once He leaves City.

I just saw this and i cant stop laughing.

Eruditor:
I said that Oladipo was better than his numbers suggested. Birdman has already said it best; Victor Oladipo is a slasher. You cannot dribble a ball till 22seconds and then pass it off to him to shoot. Even the GOAT shooter Steph, me and SmooshCHN come here to rant when he is played like JJ Reddick much less Victor who is not on that wavelength shooting wise.

Eruditor:
Ronald Koeman and co spent money won nothing. Benitez is doing wonders with Newcastle and failed miserably with RM and Inter. Carlo is looking bang average with Napoli, same club Sarri made his name with. Juve splurged on Ronaldo to crash out to Ajax. Vagaries of football.

The Pep narrative has changed from not winning a spoon in England to being local champion. It will revert to expensive squad or having world class players in a wee bit.

Eruditor:
You were not the only one on the Westbrook hype train. In fact, only Birdman and SmooshCHN shared the same sentiment as me. My argument then as it is now is that his style was not letting other potential players do diddly squat but you guys said he needed to play that way for OKC to have a chance. Victor Oladipo has now gone on to be the star I contended that he was yet OKC are barely winning any games beyond what they did during the triple double euphoria which implies that the triple double was glossing over the fact that I was stressing then.

Eruditor:
As per Pep, he is still shaking the ketchup bottle. It will soon Pop. It is a matter of time. I know how long RM sought the La Decima since 2002 and only found success in 2013. Good thing is the UCL is a competition he has already won twice so it is not like he does not know how to win it. The Benitez and co that someone else was mentioning have all gone to bigger clubs who had just previously won and failed miserably. Pep is only failing by winning everything else but it.

birdman:
Its all about rhythm. A good PG feeds into your rhythm - Russ wants to play PG and SG and rebounder (lol), and he disrupts other roles. For example, he steals rebounds that should belong to the center. In the same token, he took away clutch shots from Durant in those close playoff games. Its not hard to see how he forces an Oladipo to take a subservient role - Oladipo is explosive, a slasher even - if you give him the ball a split second late, defense is set already, negating his strengths.

Russ is not a a good PG, simple. Its not just about racking assists...he needs to sit down this offseason and study Curry, CP3, Jason Kidd, Stockton. Instead of shouting like a mad man everytime he makes a 3 pointer.

RuuDie:
Has Klopp cracked Europe? Abeg, come back and gloat wen Klopp wins something anything... 'in contention' is not a trophy. Afterall, up until last week, even fc porto were 'competing' and in contention too!

RuuDie:
Story... everybody dat has won EPL and 'competed' in UCL, used what they had at their disposal at that moment. Like Pep, like Conte, like Ranieri. Make Klopp use the tools wen him employers give am, dat no be we problem!

RuuDie:
Klopp don win UCL or EPL? The players wen dey him squad, na dash or e buy dem? So Pep no dey 'compete'?

airmark:
That's the truth as revealed by aparisports and you must accept it.

RuuDie:
At least Pep dey sabi spend the money with 'sense'...

Abi no be some pipu carry big money go buy 'barbers', 'social media influencers', 'bottling company factory workers' 'piano players' and shakira backup dancers

airmark:
No more thirst to win ucl again. That's what your boss, raumdeuter, opined.

airmark:
Bale had issues with injury, and to Perez, he hasn't recouped his investment on Bale fully. Also, you think clubs were readily available to sign stars with huge weekly pay, with incessant injury problems?

You think Chelsea wouldn't have slammed like 200m+ on Hazard if Madrid had offered to buy him, while his contract hasn't neared expiration?.

airmark:
Why would Madrid, with prime Bale and Ronaldo cough out money on Hazard who could have cost them a fortune too?

I don't even need to refer you to reasons given by Raumdeuter for Madrid not spending big after achieving la decima.

airmark:
You were the one using 'beg' to describe his move. 'Flirt' is appropriate and he did that because that's his favourite club and he knew they are not ambitionless like Chelsea.

Madrid go for the bests and send out dead woods like Morata. Hazard knows this.

airmark:
Psg are on a mission, aggressive in their approach to win ucl. Plus Mbappe is still young so he can be patient with his team, having been majorly responsible for their crashing out of ucl this season.

I can't even say what Chelsea are planning to achieve with bringing injured, average, spineless players every year.

If Hazard is your brother, swear that you wouldn't locate Zidanes family house in Algeria, to go and beg his family head to help talk to Zinedine to rescue your brother from working like elephant and eating like a rat at Stamford Bridge?

diggz:
Abeg make season do end ojare.....make we know if Madrid go still manage epp us carry the one wey dey auction himself like olosho for under obalende bridge for years now.

Fnck you sarrri

Greatihex:
Hazard is a complete fool. this nigga was busy playing rubbish yesternight, walking on the pitch with the ball. slowing down our attack with so much confidence, doing one thing again and again even after seeing that it is not working. what kind of nonsense is that?


for 90mins, this nigga never cut in to the right to take a shot. always hugging the touchline. i was so pissed with the fool yesternight.


what i don't know is between hazard, the club and sarri who is more foolish.

how a club will so depend on one player that when he refuses to turn up, it is game over.
sarri has turned our play to meaningless passes without shots.

RuuDie:
Imagine pipu that have Sarri as their manager will be dragging to call Pep fraud... as if Roman no go use cane pursue all of dem comot from the under bridge with immediate alacrity if Pep say e wan coach Chelsea

ReysonDrabek:
I posted this a year ago.

You see you people, you do not listen.

Roland17:
Do you get hissed at or get called a snake when you rock your Durant Jersey? Lol...

Eruditor:
I made enemies on this thread because of Westbrook. When Houston beat them 4-1 2 seasons back, people said Westbrook did not have any help. Then Utah beat them 4-1 with PG, almost same excuse. Now they are most likely going to lose 4-1 to Portland and guess what? Russell is still averaging a triple double or close to it, yet no one is talking about it anymore or complaining about lack of help.

He is not entirely to blame but it is funny how what I predicted then has come full circle.

Time does fly.

birdman:
My guy na simple mistake...forgive an forget

in all fairness jazz play dirty by default...most league players are sensitive to that. ever since coach sloane's days.

SmooshCHN:
but, but he averaged a triple double.

The kind laugh wey dey kill me when people make that statement ehn. He Better keep it up cos he needs to be remembered for something when he retires. The organization don't seem ready to win just like so many teams out there.

aliondo:
That was the more reason I asked if a trade is possible..Not sure I can remember any player on max been traded before but I may be wrong...will research later and check....

So if a player is on max, no possibility of been traded?
