We got sloppy in the end! Lacked energy in the midfield and it showed! Was mad when Rode was taken out because I felt he was the most mobile of our midfielders

Enough blame to go round really its just unfortunate that our two best players on the night wound up costing us the game.

Benatia ruined the game with his asinine sending off! That was a needless red card and my biggest peeve in football! Let Aguero go and live with the results

Easy to blame Boa-TANK but he won us the first leg and assisted Lewandowski's goal so no argument there

Alonso's error was quite disappointing wouldn't expect that from a vet but shyte happens

Be honest nigga, only a playerhater will compare JM to his wives like Brendan and Pellegrini.

You took advantage of Jose controlling a weak team to promote Brendan and Pellegrini and throw shade on JM. Players come and go, but managers abilities don't change.

Exactly 11 months ago I told you Liverpool team is better equipped than Chelseas based on only 2 factors - Suarez and Sturridge being head and shoulders above Chelsea strikers and Liverpool midfielders being better than Mikel and Ramires.

Today neither Ramires or Mikel are in the Chelsea 11 and neither Suarez nor Sturridge play for Liverpool, and the difference is clear. Do you think JM would allow Liverpool slide to bottom half of the table if given Liverpool's current team? Never!

So don't go comparing legends to minions just because JM was stuck with some duds in key positions while Brendan landed Suarez bonanza.

Only the biggest playerhater would dare even compare them knowing Jose had performed wonders witha lesser team ie Porto

Smh! Awa n gbe cutlass o lo n yi tractor

Who said JM is not better than Pellegrini or Rodgers? This was never the argument so I don't know why you are boxing shadows

What are you on about? Can you go to anywhere and argue that Liverpool had a superior squad to Chelsea last season? Do you know how crazy you would sound?

Suarez and Sturridge alone cannot make up for the entire squad afterall they were present when Chelsea beat them home and away! Mikel and Ramires were not exactly surefire starters for Chelsea so I'm at a loss as to how you would bring that up as an argument. You bought ill-MATIC as well so what is your excuse? Ibime oya answer this

Who had the better midfield last season? Chelsea or Liverpool

It is erroneous and lazy to claim the mere absence of Ramires and Mikel (peripheral figures at best) is the sole reason for Chelsea's resurgence whereas if Liverpool are as good as you claimed they shouldn't be doing this badly just because they lost Suarez and Sturridge

JM would not do nada with this present Liverpool squad! He is a fantastic coach but he is not a jazzman! He went trophyless with one of the strongest teams in all of Europe last season

No one is comparing Rodgers to Mourinho! But let's not act like what he did with Porto has never been done before. Otto Rehhagel won the Euros with phucking Greece so chill bruh

Ibime:
When you know your footie, you don't need to listen to clowns.

I was a clown when I was 'hating' on Mata, Ramires, Mikel etc, years before it became cool to hate on them.

Imagine a ninja who opposed Fabregas signing and thought Mata was best thing since sliced bread asking me why I think Mata is a passenger and Fabregas is not? Imagine that - when I'm the one who called it right. A ninja who does not know his thumb from his elbow.

BTW, I was just passing through to speak on two haters from Bayern who were comparing Jose to Brendan when a busybody nigga accosted me about Sterling - thinking because Liverpool are struggling, he can use that to prove Sterling is inferior to Oscar - only to find Sterlings level of contribution is the same in a team in the bottom half.

BTW, I want to ask the ninjas in the house - if the Koke deal goes through, who would be the nigga to be dropped? Would it be Matic or Fab4? Nah! We all know where the weakest link is - in other words, he's just plugging the gap until real niggas arrive!

oNe

Chale you have been smoking too much Tical! For starters I never said Brendan was better than Jose! I said he had achieved more with what he had last season! And I stick to that story. Are you not the one that claimed Liverpool had the better squad? If that is the case why has the absence of one player brought them to their knees. Why are you contradicting yourself?

Sterling better than Oscar as we speak? In what banana republic is that obtainable?

From 'alago' to the best defender in Europe as we speak the Boa-TANK

You are just disparaging Rosberg's performance unnecessarily. In 2008, Hamilton won his first championship after he nicked only 5 races that year. Felipe Massa won 6 races that same year but the title still went to Hamilton. Are you saying Massa should have been awarded the title ?

http://www.formula1.com/results/season/2008/

The system Formula one operates doesn't give the title to the driver with the most wins, it gives it to the driver with the most points, just like football. In a football league, is it not better for a team to have 0 wins and 10 draws than to have 3 wins and 7 losses ?

6 races compared to 11? That is more than double Nico's total!!

I still reiterate that we only had a 'title race' because the Mercs were so far ahead of the rest. In a less lopsided year Nico would not have so many 2nd place finishes that kept him in contention

SIRcumalot:
You counting him off based on just his first Season with the rockets !!
He was their best player throughout that whole series with Portland.

Yet they lost in 6 despite having home-court! How well did he play when the Lakers faced the Spurs?

Forget Dwight isn't all that atm.

omar22:
Atleast Rosberg won 5 race, I dont think Webber won 5 races driving Adrian Newey's aero rocket built for Vettel

Vettel's 'rocket' was never this far ahead of the crowd! During his era we at least had 2 and sometimes 3 different constructors challenging for the title. Which makes it abundantly clear that nothing has changed

Maybe this year was a pulsating nail-biter for you but some of us knew this was a no-contest. Even if Rosberg won there is nothing that would have prevented Hamilton from finishing 2nd (barring a crash or mechanical failure)

edoyad:
What point are you making, was Hamilton driving a Red bull or Mclaren engine ? If Rosberg's car had performed the way it did in Brazil the story would have been different. If Rosberg finished 2nd in championship because of the Mercedes engine then same can equally be said about Hamilton's victory.
My point still stands, Rosberg has been good this season, Mercedes or not. Even Hamilton knows he could have lost the title today.

Actually I should ask you what point are you making? Lol if my grandma had balls she would be my grandpa. Hamilton overtook him from the very start of the race so what performance cool story are you talking about?

It would have been a massive injustice had Rosberg won the title with a paltry 5 wins when someone else won more than double that amount

addempsea:
Check out the stats bro , Rebounds/Game
and Points/Game.

m.espn.go.com/nba/leagueleaders?&wjb= .

Dwight has played fewer games so the stats are bound to be skewed

Gasol and Noah are definitely better than Dwight and Chandler this season has been better so far

SIRcumalot:
Because his playful doesn't mean he lacks the will to win.
Must he bang his head every night like KG or turn into a Psycho like Kobe before he is taken seriously ?
And contrary to popular opinion you can build a team around Him.
Their are few centers in the league better than Dwight Noah and Chandler aren't among them.

Taah! Dwight is not the beast he used to be abeg! He is living on past glory!

You can't build no team around Dwight! We saw it with the Rockets who couldn't even get past the first round under Dwight's watch despite having home court or with the Lakers where he got swept!

edoyad:
The only reason this year's championship was worth watching was the challenge Rosberg brought in. It's unfortunate how his mechanical failures seriously damaged his chances in this final race, of all races

Which kin challenge? There was only a contest because both cars were the fastest

Roland17:
The only reason I would consider M. Gasol (Grizzlies) ahead of Howard is his interior pass skill and also his ability to knock down free throws and 2 feet jumpers, Chandler is a very dominant center but he fouls out of games way too much to be depended on, a rebound beast but does not account enough numbers with buckets to topple Howard..

I always wish Dwight had 40% heart and drive of Kobe or Kevin Garnett, I argued with pals recently that with the right personnel around howard he could win 1 championship and that is it, I don't see him poised enough to compete for multiple, remember he was the head of the snake that took Orlando to the finals but failed..

Dwight has regressed bruh! He is far from the dominant beast he once was! If you opt to build anything around Dwight now O.Y.O is your case

You are spot on on Dwight lacking the drive to be a KG or Kobe no wonder they clashed a lot! Kobe was hard on Gasol too but it brought out the best in him and two rings to boot

In a weak Eastern conference Dwight should have made more than one Final if he was that dominant! He did nothing with the Lakers as well and even with a talented Rockets team could not go past the first round

SIRcumalot:
In what world is tyson chandler and Noah better than Dwight ?
Gasol I agree.

In the present world! Noah is a far better passer and defender!

addempsea:
Dwight is better than Noah and Chandler combined, I'd pick him before Gasol too.

Lolol you are living in the past brother! Marc Gasol is far far better than Dwight and Jokim Noah too with what I've seen from Chandler so far this season he is also in the list

This Rosberg is just a dead guy! Why not handle your bizness first before asking for others to help you

Lost his lead at the first corner. Let nobody tell me this year's championship was competitive. Nico was only in it because the Mercs were too fast for everybody else

incredibleone:
Barkley is better than both

Lolol you mean Charles Barkley ba?

amodu:
Good response.

I don't understand why hazard should be belittle like that comparing him to Gotze, shaqiri and d likes.

Bros abeg how is Hazard better than Goetze? Despite playing all your penalty kicks Goetze still scores more goals let's not even compare their achievements for country or elite Europe where Hazard is a nobody

Nihilist:
30 more dribbles than even Robben!

Hazard = World Best

Chill bruh! Hazard is not even better than Goetze

Ni Ojuelegba dem know my story


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoELpRAkTag

All this hullabaloo about Dwight he's not even among the top 3 centers in the league anymore

Gasol, Noah, Chandler are better than him as we speak

Superb stuff from the Mavs despite literally throwing the game away last night! The offense has been awesome. Monta and Chandler are the standouts so far not forgetting Dirk too

The Cavs have now lost 4 in a row! Their record would have been as bad as the Lakers if they were in the West

Nothing about Rosberg screams 'champion' to me. The way he is going about courting Bottas and Massa to do him favors is just laughable. How about focus on not getting passed by Hamilton not like its not happened before.

Goodluck to both men anyway! I have no chicken in this fight

Lordave:
The most financially sound club in the world!

It's now a matter of time and we would topple the likes of Real Madrid and Man United in annual revenues

We've been rather conservative in the past but it looks like that is changing! We need to go hard on the Asian and American markets the middle East too. I have quite a few Lebanese and East Asian Bayern fans as friends and calling them fanatics would be putting it mildly

What a ridiculous Golazooo from that boi Goetze! I'm glad i never doubted him

Even Fussballgott came on and dropped an assist. Just really happy to see him return

Looking forward to the Wednesday game where we send Man City packing

As for the Lakers I think its not enough to just blame Kobe let's also realize they play in a brutal conference! The Lakers are not 1-9 if they were in the East at worst 3-7 or 4-6 ,also we have to add the fact that the team is being badly coached. Byron Scott is doing an awful job of reining in Kobe and of running the entire offense! They are also not competing on defense both halfcourt and transition.

Bobbieydeey:
As regards james jones and miller,you get to see them more often when the playoffs start...3points makers anyday anytime !

I've not seen them much over the last two playoffs

These guys are liabilities to their team on night's their 3pt shots aren't falling

Looks like Dr Diaby is rounding up his housemanship

Guys Neuer is injured!!!!!!!

All 3 first choice keepers are injured ooh!

Hamilton just needs to not crash and also hope his car doesn't act up. It would be extremely unfortunate. He's been by far the better driver compared to Rosberg

pickabeau1:
LOL

I think Lewis should be able to do this

He deserves more than the one title... the bad luck he had at McClaren comes to mind

In his last year there..he gave SV a fight

Guys lets support one of us here https://www.nairaland.com/1995601/sos-please-hamed-djdola/25

Lol the first few weeks yes

SIRcumalot:
The effect a Center has on both offence and defence is far more important either today.
More and more players with ball handling skills are reducing the importance of the PG position.
The finest PG we've today is Chris Paul hasn't even been to the conference Final why Dwight drag Orlando to the final once with four other guys I can't remember.

The most important position for me is btw the SF and SG or the swingman position because they have just the right combination of size, speed and handles. MJ, Kobe, Lebron, Durant no one has dominated the league quite like these guys

Bobbieydeey:
Really Cavs weak bench ?
Tristian thompson,james jones,waiters,mike miller ? Naa mehn
With time ! They just trying to flow atm

James Jones lol! Mike Miller is running on fumes while Tristan and Waiters are the only decent options

Kramer is a doofus! He had one job! Keep Dortmund at the foot of the table till after the International break

Wolfsburg are on a roll right now! Even Lord Bendtner is scoring

Superb hatrick from Mueller! Frankfurt played like thugs at times and I'm just glad no one got hurt

No one really stood out for me besides Mueller obviously! Let's just hope no one comes back with any injuries during the international break, Alaba's situation just increases the workload on Lahm and Alonso now good thing they don't play till the 22nd

50 - @FCBayern's Jerome Boateng hasn't lost any of his last 50 BL games and set up a new BL record. Unbeatable.
8:58 AM - 8 Nov 2014

But but Boateng is shyte! He has no business being at Bayern. Luiz, Mangala and even Kenneth Omeruo are better than him

SIRcumalot:
No you can't
City is going through some kind of slump it just bad luck it clashed with their UCL fixtures.I didn't watch the match though I heard the officiating was bad.

Too many excuses bruh! Dortmund is also going through a slump! Why are you making such an excuse for a club with the depth and financial muscle of City! Its laughable really

Mynd44:
Who should he pass to? Those boys he plays with are just boys abeg

I understand I'm a diehard fan of Kobe but 37 shots is too much! 20 is ok maybe 25 or max 30 but 37 is OTT he needs to cut that out and get others involved! He can't do it all by himself

As for the Cavs well I still think their bench is too weak! Kyrie cannot guard a dead body (there's a reason that team has not come anywhere close to playoff contention since he got there) ditto Kevin Love

The East is wide open to be honest there's no standout team there not even the Bulls

That Neuer save boy! Missed the move during the game but saw my Twitter feed going nuts so I wondered what all the ruckus about Neuer was about. All I can say is whoaa

Anyway City next. No Yaya Toure and no Fernandinho. The best team in the EPL got two men sent off against CSKA Moscow. I hope we deliver the final knockout blow this time even though we've won the group certain statements still need to be made
