It was IMO a low percentage shot but not a bad shot given that it was lillard taking it and the circumstance at the time

RuuDie:
Where is the proof in this that Klopp doesn't have 'Pep-like' budget? All the players Klopp asked for he got... or did you ever hear him come out and complain that the club didn't give him anything he wanted?

Una go just dey frame narrative to sweet una story... same cane you are using to flog Pep na him I dey use for Klopp too. As long as e no win silverware, all dis one na shakara with no end-result.

That's the thing. You guys are in a hurry. Give it time as I am confident that He would not only get to the SeminFinals, He will Win it.

Obama always speaks from his heart. It is Sec Clinton that needs the focus groups

raumdeuter:
That is what liberalism is about nowadays.

To call people Christians is now a problem, Same way to say Merry Xmas is a problem.

Pdpguy can you please explain what Easter worshippers mean? Do we call Moslems Ramadan or Fitr worshippers or jews Passover worshippers?

What is wrong or offensive in calling people Christians

Unlimited22:
Ah, baba,Pep coached your team for three seasons na

Eruditor:
Nah. You guys said Oladipo was a scrub. I said Oladipo was played out of rhythm and given the ball to shoot with 2 seconds left on the clock.

KD's regular season numbers were all down from last season. Numbers deflect here and there. Indy were seeded higher and Oladipo was on course to being an all star again back to back.

Eruditor:
Koeman puts the money theory to bed. He was great with all the minnows he coached. He is great again with Netherlands squad but failed miserably with more money.

Eruditor:
That Benitez spent less than a season in Inter and RM is an indictment on his coaching. That Pep would have been fired at RM or Chelsea is moot considering they did not fire Mou in his 2nd term after finishing 3rd and trophyless nor did he get the boot in RM in his first season.

Eruditor:
Carlo is finishing maybe 23points behind Sarri. That is exactly what he is doing. I am 100% sure Klopp crashed out to Wolves and Chelsea in competitions with better squads this is an aside from not winning anything in the same EPL. So how did the bare minimum criteria change for him?

Pep had also failed in the FA Cup back to back prior to this season. That one has been fixed. Every thing else that has not been fixed will be. Lucky for him, the UCL is something he has won, twice in.

popizaino:
We have seen coaches you make excuses with lack of financial support going to real Madrid and man United achieving nothing at the end so cut the crab .Claudio ranieri was an under achiever with teams inter Milan, Roma, Juventus, monaco and Chelsea only to spur Leicester city to league glory what do you have to say about that ?

popizaino:
Win ko winners chapel ni

We all thought pelligrini would go as far as lifting the ucl with real Madrid if he could go all the way to make ucl semi finals with an inferior Villarreal side.and pls what was Mourinho lacking in real Madrid that made him not to win ucl ?

RuuDie:
Oga all dis na story. Klopp already has "Pep-like" budget and has done nada... VVD, Allison, Keita, Fabinho, Shaqiri and co, are free transfers abi!?

RuuDie:
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.
