Yen Yen Yen. Aguero, Costa were all SS at one point but they had no difficulty playing as a centre forward eventually. What's Griezman's role exactly? Does he create enough? No. People would say he scores goals but why can't he operate as a centre forward or as a wing forward? Mba! He must have someone taking the brunt for him. I wouldn't even mind if he tend to force issues as well as excite the crowds with his flairs or pace such as Hazard, Neymar, Messi, even Ahmed Musa and Mbappe in the SS role but Griesmann is one boring fraud like Muller and Rooney in that SS role. Thank God for his impecable first touch or else he would have gone the way of the latter two in that role. Now, I've digressed to another topic entirely..

Otondo! You chat like a simp so I don't expect you to reason out of the box. Go and ask Barcelona who wanted to pay €100m for Griezzy what Griezmann's role is

Griezmann with 15 assists does not create enough? Una dey hear this crazeman.

Is there a rule that says Griezmann follows the trajectory of Costa or Aguero? Does he possess the physicality required to play as a lone striker like Kun and Costa do.

Mugu! So you're a covert shakushaku merchant. Griezmann's playing style has led his country to a World Cup and a Euros golden boot.

Mueller, Rooney and Griezmann are frauds but Lemar isn't lol you need deliverance

diadem10:
Anyway, I've come to realise you hardly watch any competition if you didn't realise Giroud's inclusion was because of Griesman's inflexibity. Didn't Deschamps already drop Giroud at the start of his worldcup campaign/preparation? So, where's the stupid loyalty for Giroud you were talking about? Giroud had to play because Griezman often looks at his best alongside him. In fact, majority of Griezmann's goals for the French team were set up by Giroud both directly and indirectly apart from the cheap penalties taken by him. Did you even watch the last euros at all?.

And I have come to the conclusion that you're a man-made god. You have eyes but cannot SEE! Eediot! The same Giroud who started 2 of France's preparation matches was dropped? Lool FFS

You're a neophyte at football matters this is why you can't tell the difference between players that form the core of the squad and their interchangeable parts

Stop stating what we already know Captain Obvious! I was the one telling you that Griezmann functioned better with a strike partner both for club and country

Giroud is Deschamps guy whether you like it or not else he would have fallen out of the squad Griezmann or no Griezmann

diadem10:
All what I'm pointing out is Deschamp had the view of playing the front trio of Griezman, and the two young players with the most expensive signing tags (Mbappe and Dembele) but Griezman (the no 9 asslicker) couldn't live up to expectation and his no 9 cheer leader, Giroud had to be brought into the fold.

No! If he did he would have stuck to the formation for at least one more game, after all they won.

Griezmann is not a target #9 and Deschamps dare not play him there against quality opposition. Stop chatting nonsense

diadem10:
Lemar was never even considered and the only time he could have been considered was when Deschamp switched to Monaco's set up but he had to compete with the most expensive signing, Mbappe for that upfield wing role. It's even stupid of you to expect Lemar to compete for Matuidi's wide midfield role when he's no midfielder. Yeye dey smell.

Lemar had a rubbish season, people even queried his inclusion in the final squad ahead of Martial. However being the team's only natural LW it was expected he would make the cut but Deschamps is not a phool like you to rely on a 2 goals and 8 assists player like Lemar. The team could not afford to carry two attacking passengers. Matuidi did not own the LW role! I would keep drumming it into your hollow skull till you understand

HouseOfWine:
Am not that too concerned somewhat, i guess because we all know how the spurs are: work hard and tactically v. good. My question is how our 9ja brother Masai thinks he can encourage Kahwi to stay after 1 year cus if they dont get another quality offensive talented player to join em, monetary wise its a loss somewhat .. And honestly how many NBA guys are thrilled to go up to Canada talkless of superstars?

Bro Danny is just a pawn in their transfer game nothing significant ..

Perhaps Pop works on Demar's mental side! Thus far I think the Spurs got the better deal, even offloading Danny Green's contract to boot.

The Raptors have much more to lose

I hope our Nigerian brother Masai knows what he is doing. Demar might be suffering from Bronphobia but he's still a mighty good player and definitely a top 5 guy at his position. We don't know for sure if Kawhi ever regains his previous level of play and if he does sef what if he doesn't extend?

Toronto might be a lottery team in the nearest future.

diadem10:
Only a clueless man such as yourself would say Lopes and Balde had a better season than Lemar. No Monaco fan would utter such shite. Lemar was the creative fulcrum of the team, creating the most chances as well as forcing issue with the ball when no one wanted the ball in tight space due to their shite touches but as we all know there's only little he can do without any support. Maybe if he had others creating for him like he was doing for Monaco, he would have scored more.

You're a proper mountain goat! Monaco were depleted and he lacked support but Keita and Rony Lopes combined for 23 goals while Lemar could only provide 2! They need to abandon you in Sambisa Forest without food or water.

Others were not creating yet Keita and Lopes had 12 assists between them. Oniranu

diadem10:
We all should more worried about Mbappe looking abject in front of a worldclass midfield behind him at Psg, only to find form for a counter attacking kick and run mediocre style that fits his mediocrity. Goodluck to him expecting such mediocre style at Madrid. Yeye.

Of course. Its ok for Lemar to drop 2 goals and 8 assists in a season but a 19yo dropping 21 goals and 11 assists over a season is a problem. Save your worry for your pocket because unlike you I know a 19 yo is still a work in progress in any sport. Oniranu Captain Pedantic

diadem10:
Also, everyone who watched the worldcup with no defect eyes knows Mbappe's constant quick counter was dependent on Pogba's long passes from the midfield.

It is deliberately obtuse of you to credit Mbappe's brilliance at the WC solely to Pogba's passes. There was a lot more to Mbappe than that

diadem10:
Muller has always be quick. He was never a holdup kind of player such as Mandzukic, Berbatov nor Giroud who had no pace to begin with. Muller's game was about his quick feet to complement his off the ball movement. Stop saying shite my friend.

Nobody called Mueller a slug ode! The crux here is Mueller's game is not reliant on speed! It is reliant on positioning and instinct!

diadem10:
As for Rooney, I will keep saying he won no spoon with United as the team's best player. Even the languid Berbatov did his best for us and won us something as our best player.

Ingrate! He won you the League Cup, helped United to a CL Final while Berbatov was nowhere to be found and the season he was asked to lead the line he had netted over 30 goals and had United challenging for the title till he got injured against us in Munich. Ingrate.

diadem10:
Of course he needed it to outpace the opposition defence for any ball passed through.
Muller isn't even 30 yet he's gone the way of Rooney, even when both weren't hampered by injury.

Mueller does not hang on the shoulder of the last defender Ogbeni! 80% of Mueller's goals come from movement in and around the box

diadem10:
Deschamp was ready to drop Giroud for a front trio of Griez, Dembele and Mbappe but unfortunately Griezman couldn't do without his sidechick, Giroud shielding him and taking the brunt as the lead striker while he cower behind Giroud, waiting for crumbs to fall from Giroud's table like he did at the last Euros.

If only Griezmann was droppable, Lemar would have played and if Mbappe didn't have the most expensive teenage signing tag, Lemar would have played because he was far ahead of Mbappe in the pecking order for France until Mbappe moved to Psg.

Go and watch how Monaco played in their title run and you will conceed to me that Lemar was competing with Mbappe for that upfield wing role to complement the withdrawn wide midfield role on the opposite wing.

You're part of his coaching staff abi? What a clown! Griezmann functions optimally with another striker, even the babies and the birds know this! Except a wannabe placebo pundit like you.

Even in Atleti its either you play him with Gameiro, Torres and now Costa! They were not crazy for paying that amount for Baba werey, it was for Griezzy's benefit..

Cowered indeed! You're so clueless its not even funny. Winning the Golden Boot at the Euros is feeding on crumbs? Lmaoo

Blame everybody but Lemar and his rubbish performances. Excuses merchant! Lemar broke into the team first because Mbappe as at 2015/2016 season was still playing UEFA Youth League. Even Coman was ahead of Mbappe and was more of a threat to Mbappe making the team than Lemar was! Mbappe's station was the right wing, Lemar the left.

Mbappe and Lemar were not competing for zilch! The left wing was wide open for Dembele and Lemar to seize! They failed end of story

airmark:
So you guys can't even tell me about your shakushaku burnthisleaguedown attackers that went to Russia.

They didn't make World cup for the Bundesliga alone. In 2014 Bayern led the World with 18 goals, let me know when Premiership teams do it

Phool!! Shut up with your google definition you smelly he-goat! everybody knows what R@umdeuter means

Mueller's game is not predicated on speed or pace!!! This does not mean he's a sloth. Even for your mumu gif you can see Mueller don move even before the ball had hit the chest of the teammate. Intelligent plays like that are what defined Mueller not speed

If we ask the asinwin to show us the speed Mueller utilized to score 5 goals at the last World Cup he would start speaking in tongues

Swift ko Spectranet ni! Almost all the goals bore a common theme. Positional awareness and ability to sense danger. Not pace and not speed! There are many players quicker than Mueller who can never score those type of goals

Loool I wish this Apoche cra cra would! Lets open Pandora's box and revisit all your goofs like how all DMs are deep lying playmakers and how you saw Xavi at RB in Nigeria 99.

Mueller's game does not rely on speed invariably means Mueller is slow according to this semiliterate

Ibime:
Winger is not his primary position. Compared to other CAMS, he should be in the top 10% for pace.

Mueller is more SS than CAM. For the national team he is almost exclusively on the right wing or at CF so I definitely would not lump him with CAMs. Mueller is a forward whether we like it or not

Ibime:
I've always thought Muller good pace especially for a CAM. . . at least according to what my eyes have always noticed.

I always doubt myself when I see our Nairaland Bayern boys claiming he has no pace or physicality. Since they watch him each week, I would be inclined to believe them and start to doubt my own eyes. My eye must be paining me.

Speed is relative. Would you play Mueller on your wings just on the back of that gif? Nobody describes Mueller as slow but if we could compile a list of top 20 quickest forwards would Mueller be there? Even in his adjudged prime

airmark:
You must be joking. Because the camera with the control, most times focused mainly on the man with the ball on your tv screen, you wouldn't know the runs made by other attackers to get into scoring positions. It's obvious you never played football.

See how Muller got himself into this scoring position and tell me he didn't need pace. He doesn't do this like before again.

Continue arguing with diadem, outta here.

https://j.gifs.com/Q0E1k5.gif

Stop arguing like an eediot. I can show you clips of Oezil also bursting forward on counters to claim he has pace. What is this clown saying? To further buttress my point that Mueller rarely relied on speed you had to go all the way back to 2010. After I told you barely 10% of Mueller's goals required speed, your gif was why I put that line in my post so the joke's on you if you think you dropped some form of bombshell

Mueller doesn't do that because that was a counter-attacking move, based on your gif Mueller's goals should have dried up long time ago, because Bayern and Germany stopped playing on the counter long ago! 2010 was the last major tournament Loew played counter-attacking footie but did it stop Mueller from scoring? No! So FOH with this ebola analysis

airmark:
You mentioned positioning as one of his issues. I don't want to go into details of how loss of swiftness can affect your off the ball movements/positioning. You can easily figure it out.

That is not related to speed my guy. You don't need any kind of elite speed or swiftness to possess elite positioning skills. Its why the best defenders are not necessarily the quickest, I can go on and on even into other sports

airmark:
Nobody said Muller hasn't tried, the point is, he has declined in his swiftness on the ball, which you refused to accept.

Balling since 2009-2010 is impressive but that's not unheard of. Modric just won the best player award in Russia at 32. I know you know how long he has been doing his thing at the top. I am not taking anything away from Muller, i still believe he can still return to his peak. When you see a spade, call it its name.

What does it matter if a non-dribbler like Mueller loses his swiftness on the ball? People are usually more scared of Mueller without the ball by default

I have highlighted the reasons for Mueller's struggles in my post and they have nothing to do with pace. Mueller's strengths were never physical or athletic and if it were based on natural gifts then Mueller would never have made it as a footballer

For every Modric I could give you 10 midfielders two years older or younger that have faded to oblivion within similar timeframe. Besides its not like he didn't have seasons of struggle within the decade. Modric is an exception not a norm

airmark:
He is not as swift with the ball as the Muller of 4 years ago. It has nothing to do with positioning. I just used Kanu's example to tell you that a player not known for his speed could still get his quality degraded, when the swiftness in his game dwindles. Rooney didn't reach 36 before his game dropped and couldn't play his role on the field like before.

Does Muller live in a brothel or spend his life outside the pitch in a beer parlour?

Again Mueller's game has never been predicated on speed, speed of thought yes but not actual physical speed! Check his goals and I bet you less than 10% would require any form of speed

Quit using extreme old age examples to present an argument. Kanu's decline had nothing to do with speed! The muhfugga just got old! And that's why I countered with the Berbatov example

Do you know how long Rooney has been playing? You are waiting for a guy who has been playing professional football since age 16 to get to age 36 before showing signs of decline? Get real! Not everybody can be a machine like Ronaldo.

Few players drop more than 5 seasons of consistent excellence without a drop, Mueller has been balling since 2009-2010 it's not beans baba

airmark:
Both of una fit unaself, but the highlighted is very wrong. Kanu for example, despite his style at his peak in arsenal, was swifter than the one that played for Portsmouth in 2011/2012. All footballers lose their quickness later, which affects their quality. Muller's is shocking considering his age, unless you just want to deliberately lie. Against madrid in the ucl, it was evident. At the world cup, it was confirmed he has lost it.

Lmaooo your example is a 36 year old Kanu (football age) experiencing football rigor mortis. Don't confuse the complete lack of ability to compete at elite league level to a loss of speed. Its like you telling me Berbatov or Mario Gomez has lost his quickness. Does that make any kind of sense?

Mueller's problem is not a lack of speed! What he has lost is his positioning and spatial awareness, his failure to improve his technique, poor outside shooting among some other flaws

diadem10:
What's this one saying sef? When did Lemar ever become part of Deschamps' worldcup plan? Deschamps that set off with a front trio of Mbappe, Griez and Dembele, only to realise Griez looked shite in such setup. In fact, Dembele was the best player in that set-up but was quite wasteful infront of goal hence had to be dropped.

And I repeat, as long as Deschamp set up with Monaco's tactic, Mbappe and Lemar were competing for the same role.

Also, do I need to remind you Neymar had a long injury lay off? In fact, Neymar's form at the worldcup is an example of a player coming into his previous form after a dip unlike Mbappe who got found out for a possession team only to wake up for a counter attacking team that suits his average technique + pace merchant skill. Drop mic.

You must be a comedian to think a Giroud loyalist like Deschamps would go into the World cup without Giroud. Giroud's shirt in that team was sacrosanct as even a newborn baby knows Griezmann is not comfortable with leading the line on his own so don't come here feeling like Christopher Columbus or Mungo Park.

Mbappe and Lemar were never in direct competition, no matter how many times you repeat this lie my guy it will not stick. Lemar's poor form, Dembele's poor attitude and form is what kept them out of the lineup

Lemar with his supreme technique: 3 goals + 8 assists
Mbappe with average technique: 21 goals + 11 assists.

Elegbe mo egbe e

diadem10:
Created many chances? You mean by cutting back after being released on the counter by Pogba? Lol.

Dey there dey ask yeye question on why Lemar had less than stellar season for a depleted Monaco side. You go see the answer in your dream. I wan sleep.

MUGU-ruza so the back heel Mbappe used to serve Giroud a chance on a plate vs Belgium it was Pogba that released him on the counter abi? Oniranu

I will be waiting for you to come and explain why Rony Lopes and Keita Balde outperformed Lemar in that depleted Monaco team. Excuse merchant

diadem10:
Muller was quicker than now. He's lost that bit of acceleration, only a clueless person would say otherwise.
And nope, Rooney was never our best player in any of our title win. Nani, Cr7, Rvp were. Yeye.

You have gone from speed to acceleration, small time you go soon begin talk of velocity. Confused human being! Only a complete numpty would mention speed and Mueller in the same sentence cos Mueller has never been quick to the point where a drop in acceleration or speed would possibly hurt his game.

Who said Rooney was your best player in your league title win? I don't see how simple English keeps flying over your head! Can you disprove that Rooney delivered when asked to lead the line?

diadem10:
Mbappe's second goal against the Argentines was started by Pogba. It's like you didn't watch this worldcup campaign.

Let me give you an easier job. Watch Mbappe's highlight touches vs Peru, Belgium, Croatia and Argentina. You would notice Pogba and Mbappe 'gummed' body together like twins in those matches. And it wasn't just the goals scored by Mbappe, of which one was a tap in and the other a mistake from Subasic but the main reason he was raved about was because he constantly looked threatening on the counter and it was Pogba who made that possible.

Btw, Mbappe started 24 league games, scored 13 goals and assisted 8. He bacame shite as soon as Neymar was off injured.

Take several seats my friend. I'm talking direct involvement you're yarning megedefegede

E say a mistake by Subasic. What was Subasic's mistake there edakun? If that was a mistake then what do we call what Lloris did? Do you realize that nobody created more chances from open play for France than Mbappe? Attributing that to Pogba is clowning and absolutely laughable! The penalty were Mbappe took the ball from his own half that led to the penalty was also Pogba? FOH

I don't care for what happened after Neymar went down. All I want to know is why the great Thomas Lemar only averaged 3 goals and 8 assists for an entire season

diadem10:
How many golden boots has Rooney won, leading to a title win for Manutd? None.

Slugging it out when he was already past it so he could top the club's goal scoring record, even at the expense of the team is huge nonsense. Nor be his fault, na Moyes allowed such nonsense in the first place by placing on a 5yrs contract.

As for Muller, he was quicker than he's now. That was why I mentioned little speed in my post because I know he wasn't a speed merchan but the point is he was nothing special save for his movement and quick legs. I kept on wondering what people saw in him then. Lol.

And you can't even compare these two with Griezmann, Griezman is greasing shoulder with the likes of Neymar, Robben, Messi, Ronaldo etc and not fvcking Muller and Rooney.

This is a nonsensical point. What trophies have Harry Kane won despite all his Golden boots? I'm tired of your jejune analysis! I have shown you proof of what Rooney can do when asked to led the line! I don't have time for your hair-splitting

Moyes or no Moyes Rooney broke the record essentially as a support striker, if you can't respect that your whole perspective is wack

Mueller's strength has never ever been speed! You horribly exposed yourself there so don't try and explain away your error. Speed has never been his forte so the issue of its loss can never arise. You don't lose what you never hard. I'm not surprised you don't see anything in Mueller, anybody comparing Thomas Lemar to Mbappe is not who should be taken serious in football punditry

Why are they not comparable to Griezmann? Bring out their stats let's compare so we can see just how clueless you are. Everything Griezmann is doing now Mueller had done before clocking 25 so just zip it mate

Mere looking at your queer fonts I can tell you're another teenage simp seeking attention. Hasta luego

diadem10:
You're so funny and fucking clueless.
If you had watched Monaco's setup which was the same setup France used, you would know Lemar was competing for Mbappe's role in that team, not necessarily same position 'cos he's left footed whereas Mbappe is right footed, hence they couldn't have been competing for same position but as far as the role of building on the long passes from the midfield from which play is progressed forward either by punting in crosses into the box or interplaying with other forwards, Lemar and Mbappe were competing for that role. The only other role one of them could have got was Griezman's role as SS but we all know Griezman is undroppable for France.

You're positively chatting shyte nigga! Lemar and Mbappe were not competing for zilch. Lemar was more or less in pole position for the left wing so its a thing of shame and disgrace that he got overhauled by Matuidi while Mbappe was dragging shirt with Coman on the right. In fact it could be argued that

diadem10:
Lemar couldn't have competed with Matuidi in his withdrawn wide midfield role because he's no midfielder but a Forward, just like Mbappe. Deschamps had to choose between Lemar and Mbappe for the upfield wing role and he chose Mbappe. But the fact is Lemar would have done same job because he did same for Monaco in their title run. Heck, he was more productive for France than Mbappe until he had less than stellar season for a depleted Monaco last season and got dropped for a new shining toy.

Your argument is not a coherent one because Matuidi was not even first choice for that position! That was Lemar's default position going into the World Cup but his and Ousmane Dembele's rubbish form meant that wing was sacrificed for defensive solidity. What would have been the point of starting two pipes who offered nothing going forward and still be defensive liabilities. The formation was more or less a doctrine of necessity

You're a poorly paid clown if you think Lemar on the back of one great game vs Netherlands would have matched Mbappe's feats. More productive for France on the back of two goals? Walahi your wack analysis fit give man cholera.

Your excuse for Lemar's epileptic 3 goals and 8 assists showing is pitiful! If his teammates like Rony Lopes and Keita Balde relied on your woeful excuse they wouldn't have qualified for the Champions League

diadem10:
You bringing up Sterling in the discussion even solidify my point that you don't have to be special to look good in a productive team that work towards your strength which was exactly what happened to Sterling under Pep.

No I was highlighting the laziness in your punditry! No sound football mind was carried away by Sterling's purple patch

diadem10:
And you must be kidding me with the insinuation that Mbappe had a drop in form. He had a drop in form towards the end of last season but suddenly found form for a counter attacking side at the worldcup? Abegi. The truth is he was found out. Abc. Neymar had been saving his ass, taking all the focus for a possession based Psg but after Neymar had his injury, it became Mbappe's turn to be the focal point for a possession team, he became pub and got benched so tey the useless Di Maria was showing him the way. Lol.

You've never seen a player struggle at club level and go on to shine at major tournament? Fam which zoo did you escape from? Neymar saving his arse indeed yet he went to the World cup and couldn't save himself.

If I ask you to show how many games Di Maria started at Mbappe's expense you would start speaking in tongues

diadem10:
Neymar could have been trying too much for Brazil at the worldcup after seeing that the team had a useless striker in Jesus but he was a sefless player for Psg. He was Psg's best player and still remained the best player in the French league, even after he got injured. Mbappe couldn't even measure up to 1/3 of Neymar at Psg and that's the gospel truth.

Now you're just shadow-boxing comparing a Neymar at 26 to a 19 year old but excuses is all I keep hearing for a Thomas Lemar getting outplayed by phuckin Rony Lopes and Keita Balde

Mbappe at 19: 21 goals 11 assists
Thomas Lemar at 22: 3 goals and 8 assists

diadem10:
Did you realise if Rooney was developed as a striker, he would be going toe to toe with the likes of Ibra, Suarez, Costa and Rvp who were known as worldclass striker? In the long run, Lukaku may even eclipse him at the end of the day

Do you realize Rooney is the all-time leading scorer for England and United? Show me any of the guys you listed above who can boast of that! Rooney was an unselfish player who sacrificed for team. The year he was undisputed striker we saw what he could do so kill that noise

diadem10:
What do we call Muller and Rooney? Do we call them strikers in the ranks of great strikers such as Ibra, Rvp, Falcao, Cavani, Suarez? Or great forwards in the rank of Messi, Ronaldo, Arjen Robben? None.

Ronaldo and Messi are on a class of their own. Mueller and Rooney are forwards who can play across anywhere on the forward line. The best and optimal use of them are as an AM or SS! A modern day example is ANTOINE GRIEZMANN

Mueller and Rooney's numbers compare favorably with any striker or forward not named Ronaldo or Messi in any major competition you can think of

diadem10:
Both were jack of all trades and mastered nothing in the end. Muller is even clueless in the striker role today eventhough he had the skillset to develop as one but he failed to do that so early in his career and lost that great chance. Same happened to Rooney. Both became nothing special once they lost little speed.

This shows you don't know what you're saying at all because Mueller has never in his career relied on speed. Lol cluelessness at it's peak.

How is it possible that you're an all-time leader in goals for club and country without mastering your trade? Did you read what you even typed at all?

Orisirisi

diadem10:
But same Mbappe got benched for a fortified Psg side and with the league's best midfield behind him. How do we reconcile this then?

Mbappe's goals against Argentina had nothing to do with Pogba? Every passes made by Pogba were for Mbappe all through the worldcup campaign.

Show me the goal Pogba created for Mbappe in that game or any other one for Mbappe in the tournament for that matter. Let's put your myth and urban legend to bed once and for all.

Missing 4 games is your definition of benching? Lool! The numbers don't lie though 21 goals and 11 assists. I don't care for the rest of your malaria agenda

AmoryBlacq:
So Hazard goals and assists were "unactual"?

sprinkle holy water on your brain!

Did you miss the leading to titles part? Merely looking at your queer fonts its clear whose head and brain is in crucial need of Holy water. Ozuo.

You're a fvcktardious cretin

We will be here to remind them when he turns out not to be what they expected of him especially that one already awarding him fifa world best by 22 yrs.

Schweppes! Na today? No be here dem tell us say Hidden Hazard go win Balon D'or in 2016? We're in 2018 he never smell am and heaven did not fall

diadem10:
Lol. I'll just advise Mbappe to start developing his game as a centre forward lest he endup as Rooney or Muller (jack of all trades). Both end up with good careers but not decorative ones.
I can't even imagine him replacing Ronaldo on the left for a possession based Madrid's side, let alone play in LaLiga where little space are afforded but as a centre forward, he will likely thrive but only few coaches sees him as one.

How do they decorate you when Ronaldo and Messi have taken all the accolades. Even the center forwards what have tjey won?

Akindindinrin40, world cup is the greatest soccer competition in the world, tell me Neymar's achievement there and stop referring me to inferior competition.

he couldn't outscore Hazard. He didn't get more assists than Hazard. He didn't get any medal, or individual award like Hazard. He was disgraced out by Hazard and his mates when they met.

The only thing we remember Neymar for, was his diving skills which he took to another level.

I'm sorry at Bayern we only recognize World Cup wins. With 6 past winners currently on our squad if you didn't win it then it didn't matter

Adofuro alailojuti

Neymar: 6 World cup goals.
Hazard: 3 World cup goals

Passenger Hazard vs Brazil
0 shot on target
0 chance created

0 assist

So who did the carrier bag Hazard disgrace? Small boy Mbappe in one World Cup has already outscored your god. Bury your eczema face in shame

diadem10:
I don't judge players based on their preseason performances too but I would start to question a supposed talented player who looked rubbish against minnow sides like Mbappe did in preseason. Moreover, the reason I brought this up was to tell you how Mbappe looked poor for a depleted Monaco side yet you dare question Lemar's stats for a depleted Monaco side?

Ol boy I have zero care for preseason. All I know is Mbappe would never drop 3 goals and 8 assists even on crutches, even if he was playing with Monaco Feminine. Abeg you need to dead this depleted narrative because if Monaco relied on Thomas Lemar they would not sniff the Champions League. Enuff with the excuses

Lemme repeat! You're dragging a 19yo for a 21 goal 11 assist season yet praising a 22 yo for a 3 goal 8 assist season. If that's not you tacitly admitting Mbappe's greatness then I don't know what is

diadem10:
Btw, we all know Sterling looked great for a productive effective Pep's side last season despite the lot of chances he missed in front of goal, he still came up with a respected stat at the end of the season. As for Walcott, he was fecked by injury.
.

Yet went on to stink up the World Cup, can you bet on Sterling reproducing last season? As for Walcott lol

diadem10:
Say all you like about Mbappe's performance against the Argentines but without Pogba's long passes, nothing would have happened. That team was a counter attacking team built on Pogba's long passes and Mbappe's pace which solidify my point already. As a matter of fact, they all looked rubbish except Griez against Croatia during the earlier minutes because they weren't afforded the space to counter until the ref fecked it up.

Abeggi its one thing to hoof a ball forward and another for the striker to do something with it. The irony is Mbappe's goals vs Argentina had nothing to do with Pogba and you can say that for almost every goal France scored at the World Cup. Stop dropping yarns that won't stand up to scrutiny

Are you dumb. Mbappe was a starter while owen was not and he only had 2 goals more while Owen only started 2 matches the rest he was a sub. And Mbappe didn't lead France shitttt to any where it was a fecking team effort.

Then shut the phuck up you dyslexic charlatan! How many games did Mbappe start in the season he scored 15 goals and 11 assists in the league. Phool!

Is it supposed to be Mbappe's fault Owen started two games? E ma gbo oro werey

And how was France team playing prior to Matuidi inclusion?
I can't even take you serious for implying that Lemar should have same stats as Mbappe whe he was playing for a depleted Monaco side whereas Mbappe was playing for a fortified Psg side.

Why couldn't Lemar dislodge Matuidi? Why did you make it sound like Mbappe and Lemar were in direct competition for a shirt in your initial post. That is the real question. France's tactics for this World Cup was pretty much dump the ball to Mbappe or Griezmann and get out the way!! It speaks to the uselessness of Lemar that Deschamps didn't deem it fit to use him for even 1 second in any game that mattered

Lmaooo you must be Papi Luwe in disguise. You're dragging a 19year old for combining for 32 goals and assists yet exhonerating a 22 year old that dropped 3 goals and 8 assists. Are you hearing yourself?? Ota po ju enemy lo oh yeparipa oh

Monaco still finished 3rd in spite of how rubbish Thomas Lemar was so dead that Monaco was depleted narrative osiso

And nope, Mbappe didn't have any dip in form. He got found out because there was no Neymar to take away the focus from him. Even when he was doling out those stats, Cavani and Neymar were head and shoulder above him which brings me back to my earlier assertion which is Mbappe's style of play only suits a counter attacking side, not a possession based one.

Was Neymar taking the focus away at the World Cup too? Abeggi no dey give us zobo for here. You expect Mbappe to be all guns blazing from September to May?

You can't seriously expect Mbappe a borderline baby to come to PSG and be the dominant player with ball hogs like Neymar. You can't be serious
