Roland17: Rest in Peace Flip Saunders..Wish the cancer was discovered earlier, heck of a coach especially for younger players..
Really sad. Was a great coach who didn't always have the best talent
Roland17: I watched highlights from the Clippers vs Nuggets preseason game and the stupidity of his initial reason to agree with the Mavs became even more glaring, if DJ thinks he would be an integral option of the Clippers offense then he is kidding himself. The Tristan Thompson situation is one of those instances where the superstars should shut up and allow the front office do their job, Lebron weighing on this issue makes it harder As for those rating Carlisle above Doc, I would resist the temptation of delving into that argument this early..it's a subjective opinion thus we are all entitled to one, personally the only coach I would rank higher than Doc at this time is of course the old horse with the Spurs..again it's a subjective opinion.
Lebron and Tristan share the same agent. Not hard to tell why the Cavs paid max
Doc Rivers the only coach to lose a series from a 3-1 lead. Twice! Boom!
Roland17: Rest in Peace Flip Saunders..Wish the cancer was discovered earlier, heck of a coach especially for younger players..
Really sad. Was a great coach who didn't always have the best talent
I bet u'd come out to say Chelsea are also been unlucky in the EPL this season...
Let the 'Unlucky' continuuuuu
Barca have been more fortunate with decisions than most sha ka ma kuro ka ma jale. Though they've been the best over the last decade doesn't mean we haven't seen some puzzling decisions go their way
nateevs: Abeg make una free Bimfo jor. He was only being very optimistic and positive about his team.
My gripe was where the optimism came from.
When the likes of Nateevs was screaming last season that we were stumbling along and just barely reaching the finish line, many thought I was looking for wahala where there existed none.
I cannot remember how many times I referred to our 'method of attack' and our increasing sole dependence on the brilliance of Hazard. I criticized JM many times for being too defence-centric in his approach to games.
I brought this up again in pre-season, highlighting how nothing had changed and how we may struggle this season. So it baffles me when I see such optimism being displayed.
And the reason I kept talking about this was simple. If you don't build a side that wins games on the back of the sheer amount of attacking chances created as a unit (not from the same individual time after time), when you need to score goals to get you out of big mess, it won't magically happen.
While many are complaining about how we are shipping goals, what about what we are creating in attack? Over 80 percent of our goals so far this season have come from either set-pieces or unforgivable errors by the opposition. We just cannot create enough clear-cut chances to score goals.
But the interesting thing is, it didn't start this season. For so long, it's been a problem. Since JM returned. Too many times we struggled to open up teams that were resolute at the back.
The philosophy has always remained questionable. If your first approach to winning a game is preventing the opposition from scoring, then some day, when the defensive unit is faulty, you will struggle to score goals. Because the 'method of attack' has always been weak.
JM cannot fix this. It is beyond him. Because the very solution to the problem is fundamentally in contrast to his philosophy of the game.
It's time for a change. This is an operational/tactical blunder allowed to carry on for so long, the effects are now manifesting in manner of an insurmountable mental uphill.
It's time to make a change. Because although it sounds implausible right now to many, we could very well be in a relegation battle very soon. There is bad blood and total disrespect for JM's approach from everyone - players, team medics, FA, referees and the media.
airmark: Ofcourse looking good is a serious business. He looks handsome, with nice mien. He is a powerful dresser, he looked good when his team arrived in london to receive the beating of their lives, from the so-called rubbish club, arsenal. Bellerin and those arsenal boys no dey look face. Meanwhile, when valdes was with barcelona, his employers just like boatank's also agreed that he was one of the best in town. He won everything more than boatank. Only to come to man utd and be relegated to u-21 team because that was exactly where his quality belonged. Boatank should be playing for nothingham FOREST.
All this noise will be a non issue when we knock Arsenal out in some days time. Either way you want to spin it Boa-TANK is a world class defender, definitely better than those clowns you parade at Chelsea these days. At this rate your useless club will soon start rubbing shoulders with this Nottingham Forest you are shouting about. Continue so gbo
Last weekend FC Bayern Munich grabbed their 1000th win in the league. Robben, Vidal, Lewa and Mueller from the spot
It was sweet to see Robben back after all seven weeks. Didn't lose a step. Benatia is also in full training. Not sure he would meet up for our tie with Wolfsburg tomorrow but the signs are encouraging
Its like this Aubameyang ninja wants to rival Lewandowski. Tied on 13 goals with him in the league
Dortmund crushed Augsburg and Gladbach crushed Schalke. Gladbach have now won 5 straight. Maybe Favre was the problem after all
airmark: The difference between me and you is that i say things as they are while you lie and cover up the ills of your players, team and burnthisleaguedown. i had been saying chelsea defenders are not that good even when others did nt see it that way, go and ask chelsea fans on this forum even during preseason i was asking for fresh legs in my defence cos i knew terry and co are tired and could nt lead us to glory this season. Go and confirm and up till now i still clamour for that. But you are so blinded with stvpidity and will not want to reason with a sane contrary opinion from anyone. Instead you are praising a calamitous defender, decorating him as the best defender in the world when no sincere soccer expert would do so. Below are few of my criticisms of chelsea players and supporting the need to buy new defenders as early as august. I aint an hypocrite. My views are not driven by sentiments unlike you. Shame on you akindanidani.
You are irredeemably stewpid! Why would anyone reason with the opinion of a lunatic? I have no care or concern for your previous opinion. Boa-TANK is one of the best in the business, his employers agree, his coaches play him every match and World Cup and UCL titles have been the outcome. Yet we should regard the opinions of a drunken yob and pseudo-analyst like you? You must be hallucinating. Stop boring us ad nauseum with your eediotic rants. It will not stop Boa-TANK from winning more titles with Bayern and Germany
airmark: You called arsenal a rubbish club, yet you were roundly beaten by this same team. you called boatank the best defender in the world yet he could nt disappoint us critics with breathtaking interceptions to deny arsenal those goals. You are the shameless dude here. Even dayo has abandoned you and your alago. Boatank is the definition of how not to play as a CB. A great CB is a leader in his team's defence, this is one of those things he lacks. FIFA cant be wrong on him.
A rubbish club can beat us and still remain rubbish
Oponu! Boateng this Boateng that. You will not face your useless club okwia? Alainitiju! Where are you on the table? Your useless defence has conceded almost 25 goals in 10 matches but the apoche cra cra in you will continue carrying Boateng's matter on your head like government work. Ori e ti gbale
airmark: If costa sodomised bellerin and it did nt lead to goal, then costa should be flogged. Besides, whats the name of that bayern defender bellerin strolled past in the gif i posted? That defender should not be playing ucl. even ivanovic will not be as useless as that defender. Burnthisleaguedown, league of hunchbacks. If you like win arsenal 8-0 , they have shown to the world that your team is a joke.
What the world think will not be our business when we kick out Arsenal. Your useless club is third in a group comprising of Dynamo Kyiv, FC Porto and Maccabi Tel Aviv. You are here chatting megedefegede about World Champions. Alainitiju ni e
Debroslink: Guardiola was the one that ruined the match. Pulling out Alonso and Vidal was a suicidal move when the scoreline was still 0-0. The guy gambles a lot. What the hell was he thinking?
Shebi when i dey critique e dey be like say I be Guardiola hater. His tactics were trash on the night truth be told.
wonlasewonimi: So, where's raumdeuter and A40 to come and analyse this
Eyin ika. By the time we send Arsenal to the brink of elimination in the next few days you people would kuku get back to mocking them like you usually do. E ma gbe won mora lo. The job is far from done. I don't even understand what the celebration is about
raumdeuter: An uncharacteristic error from Manuel Neuer helped Arsenal reignite its UEFA Champions League hopes with a 2-0 win over Bayern Munich.
But stunningly, Neuer undid his earlier heroics by woefully misreading Santi Cazorla's hopeful punt into the box for Olivier Giroud – introduced three minutes previously in place of Walcott – to smuggle home a 77th-minute header.
Neuer we forgive you. Go and sin no more
If you explain in Swahili. Highlight in braille, the airhead troll will never understand.
airmark: This even made the matter worse, imagine a rubbish team destroying the best team in germany. It must have pained you gan ni oo. The way bellerin burnt that your full back before that ball across through a leakage you called boa tank, was epic. That boy was disrespectful with that run, and alago as usual a sluggish m0f0 ran to close up like an appendicitis patient, no sense of urgency. If he is the best defender in germany then i wont be surprised if an hunchback is playing in that league. Sammer will regret naming the calamitous player the best defender in the world,
When we beat Arsenal at the Allianz less than two weeks from now you can come back here to come and exhibit your buffoonery. The same Bellerin Douglas Costa sod0mized. Were you blind when Neuer gave Arsenal one of the cheapest goals this season? Ejo le fe ro. Oroki le wa ta
airmark: A40, what a nice style to shamefully announce your return after arsenal murked your stvpid winning streak in burnthisleaguedown. Did you see how useless your best defender was against the so-called gayners? He was so confused as arsenal swift attacks were so strange for the mumu to understand. Oboabona would have done better against arsenal. All his fluk performances in your yeye league have been exposed and also another confirmation your league is wack. Boatank came to london in suits but ran back to munich in hijab.
Shut up! You think my return is tied to a rubbish team like Arsenal? You are an abirun! At the end of the day Neuer was responsible for Arsenal's go ahead goal but your stoopidity will allow you admit it
pkasso: So you know say you be minion lasan lasan.I didn't even have to mention your name.Na 'guilty conscience' dey do you.Arindin40, do we always have to spell things out for you.As usual, the point got lost on your clueless self.If Dante, who is now a mess could pull that off then there is nothing special about BoaTHONG's.
STFU oponu pcunto. You have declared your poosie and kitten nature to the world. Didn't you stoopidly call Boa-TANK a copycat? After highlighting your eediocy like i have been doing for weeks you are still chatting megedefegede. Daanu jor!
[quote author=pkasso post =38757487]Shey eleyi o sinwin sa? Who dey follow this one talk? Must you always subject yourself to unnecessary battering from me. I laid a bait and you swallowed it hook, line and sinker.The ajadugbolugi jibe was aimed towards coogar but like the mongol you are, i knew you would jump on it.Na Sopona and Elegbara go fire those crooked fingers wey you use type the rubbish you put up there.Quote me again and . .[/quote]You are a phool! What bait did you lay you schizophrenic? I was addressing your declaration to the world. Wetin concern me and your eediotic jibe? If you like sell your soul to the devil your empty incantations will only end in your disgrace
airmark: I have only one question to ask you, do you know what is called zonal marking? If you know its application and you could still type the rubbish then you have no standing to be discussing soccer technicalities. Ask any football player in your street, they will tell you that a right or left back always watch the position of their last man (cb) when ball is in the opposite side. I wont call you names because you have n't played soccer on a lush green grass in your life. Just listen and learn when you are lectured by a more knowledgeable person.
You be apa. Is it only Zonal Marking? What of Four Four Two. You are the only one on the entire webspace who has attached any blame to Boateng for that goal. You are immensely stoopid. With all your pseudo intelligence even Girls U-7 sides you no fit coach
Davidbanky: another pointless comment, now u want to forget coefficient ranking but you want to follow thw fifa 59 team of the best players in the world all because theres no boateng in it, what are you even saying oga ade!
He is confused. That is what hallucinogens can do to somebody
pkasso: A yi sinle oloko lo mu ki eku sako.When the cat is away, the mice will play.Even Davidbanky dey put mouth join.I see raumdeuter and his boy-boy have been w@nking to BoaTHONG's assists vs Dortmund.It still doesn't change the fact that he sucks at his primary job which is defending. I've been vindicated yet again. Boateng's failure to make the 59-man list for the Balon D'Or shows how much he ranks in FIFA's estimation of the best players in the world. The likes of Terry and David Luiz can be excused for missing out on the list.Afterall anyone with at least a FifProXI appearance to their name can be considered a member of the football elite.But not Boateng, "he is the best CB in the world", his fanboys said.Yet he couldn't even make the bloody list.Later one random ajadugbolugi go come here dey yarn nonsense.Making the list for BalonD'Or is not even something i would be quick to brag about but i'm sure if 'Igiwo' had made the list, persin for no hear word.The sovereign football body on the planet has spoken.Makes me wonder why i bother arguing with faceless wannabe analysts on Nairaland.
Thank God say you know sa na real Olongbo you be. Poosie!! That is why we call you pcunto. He sucks at defending but 3 FIFA Coach of the Year winners continue to make him a pillar of my defence and for my adopted National Team as well. When I see names like Okazaki, Rooney, Lupita Nyong'o, David LOlspina and Willian I know that is not a list anyone would take serious. I have never rated Boa-TANK based on individual laurels cos I know in the end trophies is what counts, so it takes an uncommon ret@rd with the IQ of an Ekpan fly to think I care about whether he makes a list or not.
I know it must eat at your heart each time you see the Boa-TANK suit up for Bayern and Germany. This is not changing any time soon so better have a paramedic on standby at all times. Ozwor
airmark: Well I don't expect you to know what they call zonal marking in soccer. Your soccer technicality knowledge is limited.
You are a technical eediot!! If Martinez had stayed glued to his man like Boa-TANK did on Kagawa Aubameyang would probably not have sneaked past him. You are however too dim to understand this
airmark: Ofcourse, boatank always abandon his primary role of defending to be spraying passes, exposing neuer to series of attacks.
The same Neuer that left his duty post and almost screwed us over vs Wolfsburg
airmark: That is one of his weak points, against porto he was so engrossed in joining attack and failed to intercept a cheap aerial ball, which Martinez utilized to round neuer and scored. Bayern would have been invisible in Europe for consecutive 4 years if it's a player like Sergio ramos manning the defence.
Yet Sergio Ramos has only led Real Madrid to 1 Final in over a decade at the most successful club in Europe. You need deliverance
First and Foremost. I spare a thought and a prayer for the great Der Bomber Gerd Mueller who is presently battling Alzheimer's.
pkasso: For Dayo and his minion who won't let the rest of us hear word over Alago assists against Dortmund.You might want check out Dante's assists vs Manchester City 2013/2014 season.Anything else BoaTHONG does is copykata. Dante to Mulller: Etihad Stadium
Hahaha see this eediot! Who launched the ball that led to Bayern's 5th Champions League? Acute memory loss would not kuku let your remember. Arindin pcunto, so Dante originated that move or what is this demento talking about? Where is the said Dante now? Is he still at Bayern? Didn't we see him get dismembered roughly two weeks ago.
I have said it before that intelligence is haram to a simple minded oponu like you. You have once again proven me right
If una like make you la ori e mo ogiri. Boa-TANK will start vs Ireland. He will start Bayern's next match vs Bremen if fit. Eni to ba wu ko be
airmark: He tried in giving those passes, but he is always caught wanting in his primary role. Apart from committing school boy's errors , he is also poor in anticipatory defending at crucial moment. If it were to be Borrussia Dortmund attacking formation of 3 years ago, Bayern would be picking ball from net like 6 times. The only goal scored by Dortmund should have been thwarted if boatank anticipated a ball across and rushed to position himself for clearance before getting to aubameyang. Once again this will be overlooked by non-technical football watcher because Bayern scored 5. If boatank is bombarded with the kind of multiple quality attacks as seen today against man utd especially in the first half, then this flaw would be very clear to all. This was my point against smalling when man utd were praising him to high-heavens. Lets see how he would handle such moments. Meanwhile despite Chelsea winning the league last season I said same thing about our defence and was rooting for re-inforcements before the league started even when my co-Chelsea fans were singing different tune. Boatank is good in build-ups, but in qualitative defending he is average.
Shey na Rubberband man? Try and be realistic for once!! He shoulda rushed to anticipate the ball and leave the player he is marking abi wetin you dey yarn sef nitori Olorun? Abi didn't you see Kagawa behind him? Laughable that you would compare Smalling to a World Cup and Champions League winner like Boa-TANK. Don't come and kill our joy here biko! Everyone is unanimous in the verdict that he was one of our 3 best players on the day. Carry your palaver and 'technical analysis' to your Chelsea thread and help Moaninghoe bring your club out of its morass
airmark: He should keep winning hiding his flaws under the greatness of the likes of neuer, muller, lewandowski, robben etc to win titles, if you are not honoured by FIFA then you are just what they call ''follow-come''.
Joachim loew was FIFA World Coach of the Year: 2014
Pep Guardiola was FIFA World Coach of the Year: 2011
Boatank has no individual award from FIFA or his team, not even a nomination.
But the coaches honored by FIFA have made him an undisputed starter for their respective teams. 3 of them!
If you like call am follow-go. Players play for trophies and glory not for any megedefegede individual award
