alonso isn't better than Mendy who is starter for city before his injuring,azpilicueta is the best defender in the league,but otamendi and stones are FAR from mediocre players,city have a far better squad than Chelsea,admitting this does not take anything from pep it is a glaring fact

The jury is still out on Mendy. That he was a stud at Monaco doesn't mean he can't be a bum at City as Bakanonsense has proven. Besides he has barely played

Their squad is not far better anything. Your strength is in defense and theirs in attack so it evens out

AlderFadington:
A fun stat for you stat "cushion" mob.

To date he has 303 games with 7+ Ast, 7+ Reb, 162 with 8+Ast, 8+Reb and 71 with 9+ Ast, 9+ Reb; but only 37 triple-doubles.

This was about 3 years ago in March 2015. Imagine what the numbers are now. He couldve been far ahead of oscar by now. All these years he wasn't stat padding

He's getting MVP number 5 people. Get ready for it. And A40 get ready for a new moniker.

Lol you go jonze like craze. Better pray CP3 or Harden gets injured else The Beard would pick up that Podoloff

atheist5:
this your logic ehh,two players at of a full squad means the squad of Chelsea is better?,what about the wingbacks, rest of midfield the bench,at least gundogan and barnado Silva will start for Chelsea,but they don't play for city when everybody is fit,pep is a great coach l no doubt but I have noticed that he doesn't "dominate" a league without having the best squad in the land,

Azpilicueta isn't better than Otamendi/Stones? Courtois isn't better than Ederson? Alonso isn't better than Delph?

Gundogan that has been injured for a year? Bernardo Silva wey just reach England? How many games has he even played. Abeg you guys should give credit and pay homage where its due.

Greatihex:
so, hazard and Kante are a team?

Azpilicueta isn't better than Otamendi/Stones? Courtois isn't better than Ederson? Alonso isn't better than Delph?

Roland17:
If having possession is the argument, then I have to agree Steelers nation have a case because he had possession.

Their argument is basically that the receiver allowed the ball touch the floor. It's a terrible way to lose a game. Reminds me of the Dez Bryant catch a few years back

Roland17:
I think the refs were correct when they canceled the touchdown, replay shows his knees were down before the ball crossed the line. Baba, it was the right call, a difficult one albeit.

I think it was the OC that called that play because Tomlin wanted a spike and Big Ben was ready to spike until the call was changed and the Patriots are very experienced with such plays, Remember the Butler pick at the Superbowl against Wilson? Big Ben said he heard a changed call from the sidelines and it was not Tomlin.

I think you guys missed Shazier's big body, he could have managed Gronk better, maybe not stop him but alter the decisions. You guys needed that home advantage. You can't defeat the Patriots in Foxborough, that would be too much to ask for.

As for Rodgers, the surgically repaired collarbone definitely affected the power and pace of his throws, the 3 interceptions were a testimony.

The issue was not the knees. He broke the plane before that. They claimed he did not have possession of the ball. Every replay has shown it to be false. The whole world knows we were robbed

Tomlin can be very aggressive. I think he coulda vetoed that play but didn't because Tomlin is always down to take risks and I'm sure that's what the OC banked on. I can live with the call but it was an unnecessary risk.

This Patriots team can totally be beat. I just don't know if we are the team that can do it. A Kansas or Jacksonville can spring a surprise. These guys just know and exploit our weaknesses every time

patrickmuf:
For me, it's disgusting that players will adopt such approach even when they're paid heavily to put in their best weekin, week out

It's pathetic! Though there are few cases where the manager is clearly inept but there are some glaring transformations that give away a conspiracy to get a coach sacked eg Leicester last season

Roland17:
I know you were without Brown after he went down with the calf injury, however, I am not convinced your Bees can stop Gronk and Brady. Gronk was a one-man show today, he beat the Steelers by himself. I don't understand why Big Ben forced that throw through the middle. It was very bad decision not to kick the field goal to tie the game.

Those refs are on payroll. We were robbed blind!!!

Clear TD was chalked off. No wonder NFL ratings are dropping

We also had a PI on Eli Rogers that those dubious refs missed and then called it for Gronk

Ben actually wanted to spike the ball for a FG attempt but Tomlin wanted to go for it. Bad call! The receivers were just standing around and Ben had nobody else to throw it to..

Tough luck on Aaron Rodgers too. It's a pity he got the Panthers D on his first game back

Greatihex:
sometimes una dey type some funny things. So, man city are playing with one less player abi?

So, epl managers should also be embarrassed that conte won the league playing a short right back as a centre back?

They should also be embarrassed that mou won the league while playing a right back as left back?

Nawa for you o

Must you people invoke bad belle into every damn thing?

Neither Conte nor JM won 16 games in a row and never has there been a season where managers are openly writing themselves out of the title race in December

I criticized Pep at Bayern but I can't see what he is doing so far and not give credit. According to most of y'all Hazard is better than KDB and Kante is better than Fernandinho so you can't even say Pep is doing it with a better squad

Right now oo mi o le so t'ola oo , Oga yin ni Pep , e gba fun

Brah your conditioning is wack. Step it up my Gee.

Na too much alcohol. That is why I have dedicated to cutting it down next year and completely stopping by 2019

Mark Cuban paid Harrison Barnes max. Somebody please remind me how he became a Billionaire again?

I wonder wetin Jupp give Ulreich chop. The improvement is insane!

Scrappy win but I'd take it and a Mueller goal as well. We really need Mueller to get to that 2013-2015 form if we are going to challenge in elite Europe

All eyes on Dortmund now who are trying to do a Bayern. Sometimes you wonder if these players just want the coach fired and play absolute nonsense! It's happened too often across various leagues for you not to question it

chic2pimp:
^^^^^Are you a FRAUDIOLA convert too?.....The more the merrier


A40 is Next.

I don't think Pep is an overall fraud. I just wasn't remotely satisfied with his job at Bayern. I have to give credit where its due. It's lucid that his quality has been proven in England beyond doubt. Bear in mind though that even at height of the Pep slander I have never rated Conte or Jose Moutrinho ahead of him.

In fact I believe EPL managers should be embarrassed that Pep is sonning the league without a Left Back.

DevdanSanguine:
After embiid blocked the life out of him twice. After he shot 10/33. After they blew a 17 point lead. After he messed up consecutive crucial dunks and layups. He has no shame.

He always feel he has a point to prove and it seems there's a massive boulder on his shoulder. Son needs to chill out.

I salute his motor and conditioning. Almost 50 mins and he was still playing at 200mph, I barely last 10-15 minutes for court these days even for normal pickup setting

DevdanSanguine:
And yours to StphCurrysABum with the same conditions? You thought I was going to use Jordan didn't you?

Word is bond. I'm game

Someone needs to talk to Westbrook though
33 shots is a little too much

That Westbrook wave to Embiid was my highlight of the night, forget the shooting son is too petty. Lmao! No wonder KD left

Be like OKC wants to cough up this lead before halftime. Iso Iso pass to Roberson who nobody bothers to guard late in the shot clock. Smh

See how OKC just dey roast Sixers for this first half and it started when PG went to sit. How it all goes to shyte in the second is a mystery? Ball movement , transition buckets and stifling D they ticked all the boxes.

Embiid struggling with injuries also helps.

I hope to also see more of the Klay Thompson I saw last night. When he catches fire it deflates you because it happens waaay too fast

KD was KD and shout out to Casspi. Looks like a steal

airmark:
If 11 goals in 15 matches, is not more impressive than 10 in 22 matches, may be only dayo's big head impresses you.

There's no need for improving any overall attacking play nonsense you talked about. Morata needs to stop wasting big chances for us and stay more on his feet, that settles it.

There's a reason for Lampard advising Chelsea to buy a new striker this January. Against roma, he was disappointed in morata too.

“I’m a bit disappointed with Morata, he just needed a delicate touch."

I have told you stewpid he-goat to use minutes and not matches to make comparisons.

You must be very daft if you think you can match City and other elite European sides without creating the requisite chances. Football doesn't work that way.

When you buy a new striker you better know chances would also need to be created because he would also miss chances. You should be asking yourself why Morata is leading your forward line in assists. Oluku

afrodoc2:
We will have to agree to disagree on this one because this is an ideological difference. You believe it is a team achievement award and i believe it is an individual award, that is why Weah in 1995 and El Fenomeno in 1996, Keegan in 1978 and to a lesser extent Belanov e.t.c have won such awards. If it is close between individuals you can then consider what they achieved with their teams.

Sneijder was an important cog in successful teams but was not the best player in the world that year. His performances were not the most exciting or outstanding and his stats were not the most impressive.

There has really not been any year since Messi and Ronaldo came of age that anyone was better than BOTH of them.

My gee if the award is that of highest goal scorer let them tell us so we don't bother ourselves. The likes of Raul and Shevchenko even Igwe ought to have won the award then

Zidane won the WPOTY scoring two goals in the WC Final in 98. Ronaldinho did less in 2004 than Sneijder did in 2010 to win the award. The consistency is nonexistent and therein lies the problem

His stats were not the most outstanding or exciting but did you know Wesley Sneijder led the CL in assists in 2010? Did you know he scored or assisted from the CL 2nd round to the Final?

He won 4 MOTM awards and was joint top scorer at the World Cup from the number 10 position

No chance in hell Messi did better than Sneijder in 2010. That's why I said if the award is about goal scoring numbers alone without any recognition of players who pushed their teams to titles then let them just call it Balon D Golden Boot make we for no dey waste our time

SIRcumalot:
haven't been chanced to see a lot of basketball this season but George has been good WB is the one not doing so well.

Good? His career FG% is 46. He is shooting at 41. Good must have a new meaning. Truth be told all 3 have not played well

DevdanSanguine:
Let's. What's the bet? Can't be money, I don't gamble. I'm up for anything else.

You change your handle to LeBronissaBUM and post with it for 3 months on this thread (Actively)

DevdanSanguine:
LOL. Mark me, I will dig up and laugh at all these comments in june.

I no go mind make we bet oh.

Decale:
That their defense is just beautiful even considering they missed Robertson yesterday

I think one of them should move to the bench probably Melo. He's the most underwhelming so far mainly from all the work he put in the off season. Also, he appears to be the shooter, catch and shoot, streak and a decent guy off the bounds. Him and Felton will smoke people...

I didn't expect much from Melo. He's been par for the course. The biggest disappointment has been Paul George. I am still trying to understand why Westbrook is catching shade for Paul George largely being rubbish and wildly inconsistent. Steven Adams has stepped up after a down year last season

That offense really needs work. They seem to turn every possession to a long and painful half-court grind especially in second halves

airmark:
You asked how many goals Costa scored by December 2014, why did you ask that question and didn't ask about his assists until I gave you his goals?

If I want assists, fabregas will supply loads of that to our front men and hazard hasn't got injured. So save us that assist nonsense from the top striker who is no more in Madrid.

Costa missed 12 big chances in 35 epl matches last season, we still criticised him, morata is already on 9 in 15 epl matches. Only a retardd like you will think that augurs well for a team like Chelsea in a competitive league, not named burnthisleaguedown, aiming for ucl glory once more.

If you are the type that claps for renato for passing the ball to carabao touch-line board, sorry I am not stupid like you.

Shut up and stop asking stewpid questions. You kept barking Costa like a mad dog and one would have thought he dropped 20 goals only for us to see his goal numbers were not significantly better than Morata's

The same Fabregas that is dragging shirt with Bakanonsense? You must be a drunkard for comparing 2014 Fabregas to this one we are witnessing. Your useless Hidden Ikebe One-Corner is still on 2 assists with a Morata doing his job for him yet you are yarning megedefegede.

Aguero misses more chances than Diego Costa but everybody with a functional brain knows Diego Costa cannot shine his boots. The onus is on your creative players to keep creating chances. That is the name of the game

If you think Chelsea is going to fluke their way to another CL title without improving their overall attacking play then you are even more of a phool than I initially guesstimated

afrodoc2:
Sneijder was not robbed, same way Ribery was not robbed. If player A is so much better than player B, then it should not matter that Player B's team won more titles, Player A should get the award.
It is first and foremost an INDIVIDUAL award, the team's achievements come into play usually when you are trying to separate 2 closely matched players, for example most of the Messi v Ronaldo years.

Sneijder was robbed Gee

airmark:
You are very dull. Why did you ask the number of goals Costa scored by December 2014? Were you not on a failed attempt to burst my view of Costa not missing chances like Morata and being a better scorer?

You are eternally fond of making daft assumptions. This is the 297634382nd time you are doing this..

Unless you can show where I claimed Morata scored more goals than Costa by December then your long epistle is as useless as Olamide's verse on Timaya's 'Tell Person'

airmark:
How will your brain rate their scoring skills (which was what I actually dwelled on), after finding out that morata scored 10 in 22 matches and Costa 11 in 15 matches. I am very sure Costa wouldn't have up to 15 big misses in that season too, morata is on 9 already in epl.

Your shameless will not let you abscond until you are stripped and flogged with facts.

What was Costa's goal scoring rate in the Champions League? Werey alaso! Tell us how many goals Costa was able to score in almost 600 minutes of CL footie.

With the way you have been shouting Costa like a lunatic one would have thought his stats would completely blow Morata out of the water

airmark:
You had to add assists to try to save the day after seeing the goals Costa scored, were more.

The point raised was on his big misses, so bringing assists into it was senseless.

No you doofus! I added assists to show you what else Morata brought to the table. No striker has 100% chance conversion rate and all around Europe we would find elite strikers who have wasted more big chances than Morata. Dwelling only on misses and not highlighting the other important aspects he contributes is asinine on your part and I would continue to attack you for this stewpidity

airmark:
Will it be sensible to hail one dayo ramuzaki of ogbomosho utd, with 13 goals in 30 matches in December 2017, with bag loads of big misses, and call him a better striker in oke ogun premier league, and knocked down ajakaja monsuru of afijio Munich fc, who scored 14 goals in 17matches by November 2014 and not known for big misses?.

This is another senseless analogy on your part, how does it relate with Morata and Costa? Has Morata played 30 games? I'm tired of your dull and m0ronic analysis. Who still analyses with appearances instead of minutes played in 2017?

Adigunjale! You even went and added Community shield and EFL cup matches where he played a combined 21 mins to push your Mgbeke propaganda

Your entire brain is just backward and decrepit like the Zimbabwean economy

DevdanSanguine:
LeBron is literally just telling harden I want that MVP, I'm coming for you.


I'm calling it again. Harden is going to get robbed again, don't say I didn't warn you.

No chance in hell. Harden would get the sympathy votes. Nobody giving Bron that 5th MVP. He would probably come second

The return of IT would likely dent any chance of Bron winning the MVP. Harden has outperformed with this Rockets team while the Cavs are par for the course (despite the injuries it's a deep-a$$ team)

From 'how many goals had Costa scored by December 2014' to adding assists and ignoring the number of matches played to score the goals.

How much did you pay raumduter for mentoring you? He claimed you guys paid him for that, amala turning skill.

Unless I claimed Morata scored more goals than Costa I don't see why you keep skipping like a worn out compact disc. With the way you kept screaming Costa one would have assumed he was putting up Salah numbers.

I had to include assists because you lack critical reasoning skills. Have you asked yourself why none of your forwards have provided more assists than Morata?

Costa was fortunate to have a Cesc Fabregas spraying him the passes. Morata is scoring and providing assists as well, this I expect any reasonable fan to appreciate

airmark:
Next time no jump into wetin no concern you.

Aja dayo.

Ewu! Morata was involved in more goals than Diego Costa, at least that fact has been uploaded to your hollow skull. Arigato

airmark:
Post below should be what you should address. I am partially doing your work for you, cos you are not smart.

Costa : In 35 epl matches 2016/2017, 12 big misses

Morata : in 15 epl matches 2017/2018, 9 big misses

Let me add the answer to that your suicidal question :

Costa on debut season, before december 2014: In 15 matches 11 goals

Morata on debut season, by December 2017: In 22 matches 10 goals.

Should I continue to spoonfeed you, before you throw in the towel and bury your head in shame?

Efulefu!

Wetin concern me with Costa not missing big chances? You comparing a 28 year old striker already in his prime to a 24 year old in his debut season in a new league shows the depths of your stewpidity. Let Costa win Golden Shoe with his inability to miss 'big chances'

In your reprobate brain 14 goals + assists is less than 11 goals

Shameless he-goat
