Having a set of nice fixtures and picking up results should not give you hope. Sevilla is the only big team you have beaten this season. Currently losing to Valencia grin grin

At the moment, bar Messi and Frank De Jong, Liverpool have a better squad than Barcelona.

We are talking about actual performance on the field of play and not big names. A combined 11 will shock you.
In Defence, it's 4 against 1, in midfield, it's 2 against 1 and in attack it is 2 against 1.

Alisson - Robertson - Van Dijk - Pique - Arnold
Wijnaldum/Keita - Fabinho - De Jong
Mane - Messi - Salah.

On the bench, it will be 50 - 50
It looks like they are better because they are playing well. But if we had a competent manager or at least playing at Liverpools current level,they dont have a bettter squad. On a good day Alisson=Marc, defensively Robertson is only better because hes younger and have more pace but Alba is still up there. Arnold,VVD,Pique. Midfield Fabinho,De Jong,Vidal. Up front Mane.Messi,Salah. Know that under a manager like Ferguson that doesnt take nonsense,Suarez wont be missing easy chances and still know nobody is taking him off.We know if he is checkmated,he can easily displace Salah in that line up

tbf,day to day activities aren't really going to chop much of your money. Na those bulk spendings be the koko. But still its going to be difficult to finish 1mill every month in this country even woith a very large family by nigerian standards. 95% of the population dont even see that in a month and they still build houses and train their kids in the best of schools

To live a very good life in this country,you need 500k+/m. That is life of comfort where you can eat whatever you want and whenever you want,fuel your gen when heat dey,fuel and maintain your car,live in a secure environment,pay bills with comfort etc. You can live some of this lifestyles with less pay but a couple of them must go and you still live fine.

Truth is jobs that pay this amount are very few and requires years of hardwork and experience to reach this level. 1.2m may be high but its not too far away from what gives you that optimal comfort

Philippe coutinho Barcelona career has ended. 100% certain he won't be coming back nor do I want him to. Personally, I don't like his work rate. However, If he's able to find some rhythm at Bayern, then I guess he should remain there. Barcelona should cut their losses and instead look to invest in a younger attacker preferably Lautaro Martinez.
So that Valverde will kill him also. Who is he benching?? He's a cf and we know with the love Valverde has for Suarez, he's getting no game time. He would be worse than Griezmann

Play good players in a bad system and they will turn out bad.Play bad players in a good system and you will see the manifestation of Macheda2.0. How come Coutinho who played great ending of last 2 seasons and earlier last season was all of a sudden bad?? How come he's work rate all of a sudden dropped?? Has our system ever depended on player work rate in the first place?? This is just a classic case of giving the dog a bad name to kill it

Liverpool do not even have a better squad than us but look at how they are playing. Our problem is not signing of players or squad.Its the management. Why Barca fans think otherwise baffles me

The problem is the technical know-how. The Nigerian economy is being run anyhow, there are no proper decision making board who makes beneficial foreign investors policies.

The ones that are there collect bribe and do the basic minimum to retain their jobs, the ones that know what to do are not even employed in that sector, so it's a Nigerian governance/culture problem.

The inflation rate in Nigeria is as bad as Zimbabwe/Venezuela, if i was in the Nigerian foreign investors policy making board, part of the bargain for foreign invetors will be to invest 30 percent of the liquid assets in the real economy to employ at least 500 Nigerians depending on the size of the company, could be lower then reduce taxes for these companies in certain capital expenditure.

Any foreign investor who invests in Nigeria deserves a reward apart from all these Lotto, Baba ijebu Lebanese thieves, Nigeria is run on inflation, the cost of living doesn't reflect the quality of service received. It will cost you N40k per day to live a good life in Nigeria if you factor in cost of medical expenses, security, electricity, food, stress meanwhile you could enjoy this same quality of life for less than N15k per day in a developed country.

If the govt is so much interested in "investing in real economy", why are policies not made to target big cooperations who obviously have the funds to put that money into real economy to create jobs and what nots that come with the investments.Easy restrictions to how much big cooperations invest can be made which would ultimately force them to invest in other areas of the economy.

We mustn't blame foreign investors for taking advantage of our investment portals created for them by our own system. National Pension Commission ruined tbills for us all, you cannot expect CBN to remain silent when PenCom has over 6trillions in Tbills and others.. Money PenCom could have invested in our economy, at least about 60% of it. Not until PenCom pull out their funds and invest into the real sector, rates for tbills might remain low for a very long time.
The govt aka CBN only wanted big cooperations like PENCOM to invest in tbills that's why there were rumours that a directive was given to banks that Individuals/less cooperative bodies were barred from investing in tbills.Only big cooperation's like them pencoms were allowed.It goes to show you what goes behind the scenes

According to Bayern president,Neuer is currently better. Lol. Dude already has two assists this season as a goalkeeper. You will never see us Barca fans make noise about the best goalkeeper award because we don't have a VVD or a Godin who will help Marc pad up his clean sheet stats but we know deep now he's the best GK in the world.Nobody makes more outstanding saves than him.

But, is there really no hope in the villages or other towns apart from Lagos, pH, Abuja and to a lesser degree Kano? My principle is that everyone cannot be in Lagos we can see that from the congession in the city. Even China de complain say everyone wan go stay Shanghai. But in the book Acre of Diamond, it says if you look around your environment you can find that niche that you can compound to etch a living for yourself.
There are very many people in Lagos who live their life on hope when they probably would have been more productive in other smaller cities or towns.
There's no environment without opportunities.People are making it big in Nigeria and are building houses left right center in the same country everybody is running away from.The problem is the level of opportunity.Many people make it more outside the country than inside.

Villages are highly limited in a lot of things than cities.Good accessible roads,water etc.The people that still tap the goldmine of this villages are still the rich.Some folks that are rich have their own farms and poultries in this villages which they make their proceeds and now come sell in the city.Due to cheaper lands and labour,they easily explore it to the fullest.But as your everyday hustler,you won't make it more there because nobody is really ready to pay you as much as you want so you have to come into an environment where you need to get paid well and unfortunately this environment is very well competitive

I'm not d type dt launch out to an unknown place with direction nor destination. My personality & orientation won't even permit. But , I certainly know my challenges & what I lack. Till I av d skills, knowledge, exposure, & well-to-do influence around me, I thank God for my present position & hope for d better soon. Thanks u all
At times its better to just burst out into the wild without knowing where you are going and the dangers that lie ahead.Many people die poor because they're are not ready to take that extra step.

I remember one day i was talking with a friend of mine.I told him i rather remained unemployed than to work in a bank.He showed me the reason why he would do so. He said that the banking was a very good place to meet rich people.You do the man know man thing.Get to be his unofficial personal financial manager.Make life easier for him through depositing and withdrawals,then get close to him. That way things,luck could smile on you. If you look at it from the stress point of view,you could easily pick up a tricycle for yourself. Its stress free and you are your own boss.But as a bank staff,you easily have access and know rich folks. The probability of getting connection through bank is higher than getting that connection through picking a rich customer.

Many Igbo boys come out of their villages to serve their ogas with just nylon bags.Many of them go to serve people they have never met.Many that serve dont even know the type of trade their bosses are into until they enter shop.But at the end of the day,the ones that have sense make out something with what they were given.

What am trying to say is this. You can stay in the village and wait till you see a clear path or you can come out and create that path for yourself.At the end of the day,you are responsible for only person.That is you

I don't see anything wrong in what he said tbh unless am missing something.Self pity is not going to do anybody good. that's just the truth

We all come from different backgrounds.Some of our parents set us on the path which we are now,some of us had to burst our asses to get it.

If you are like me I will also consider investing in stocks like Nestle, Dangote cement, Zenith and GTB.

N1 million invested in GTB in 2001 is now worth over N40 million, the dividend received in 2018 is over 3 times the amount invested.

You're making my point for me. I said they adapted to life Post-RONALDO. The way they did it is inconsequential.
And they are joint top of the league and I'm the last 16 of the UCL.
They finished 3rd last season and went past the group stages of the champions league even beating Ajax that dumped them away from home courtesy of Benzema.

Topping the league and qualifying for the knock out round is not some post Ronaldo sign especially given that Barca has been really poor and PSG are the only team in their group that poses any kind of threat. They have been poor this season. Couldn't play a shot on target against PSG that didn't have Neymar,Mbappe. Came back from two goals down against Genk at home.Threw away the game against PSG. They are just in a good form atm with Benzema saving them just like he did last season. Doesn't mean they are still not suffering from Rinaldo's departure

EV is not as good as these coaches listed above, yet you Messi keep saving his azz. EV should have a statue of you in his house where he bows to you every morning and night.

Coaches that will train Barcelona when you retire won't enjoy your luxury. EV is just the luckiest bastard in the world.
That guy doesn't know he's doing.Kept on moving from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2. Couldn't break an Athletico that had Saul at left back down. This is the most offensive athletico I have seen in years and Valverde couldnt take advantage. The board wants us to go on an Arsenal kind of run before he goes

Generally speaking we were very good in this game.Kept our shape and maintained solidity. To me Lenglet was our man of the match. Good game by Pique and Marc. Firpo was very poor going forward losing a lot of balls but was very solid defensively. Morata gave us a very good game but Pique and Lenglet marshalled him out of the ball. We lacked a creative midfielder and thats why we need a coach that will inspire the lost form of Coutinho and we will be firing again. Griezmann helped us a lot in maintaining our shape both going forward and backward. Messi was quiet but needs just half a chance to score. Suarez keeps on giving half mixed performances

I don't analyse football based on statistics. Liverpool were chasing the game and needed to attack.That attack almost cost them a goal if Messi had put away his chance. They were missing two key players from that game.They lacked that balance they had at Camp Nou.

They had two options.Attack and leave the defense wide open or sit back.No matter the option they took,the odds were against them. We had no excuse not winning that game at Anfield

Seeing that clip, I don't even think Alba was emotionally fit to come on for that second half, but then who'd have replaced him?
I told my guy after the first half of that game that it was probably our best game of the season if not for Alba's mistake.I also told him this was Alba's worst game i have ever seen since i started watching him .I pointed out to him the game against Madrid where Roberto was having a hard time against Vinicus and Vidal came in and made the highest tackle in that game in under 30 mins.I also told him that since Vidal was our man of the match and was having the game of his life,he needed to just take out Coutinho and play Vidal in that position and we would leave Anfield outscoring Liverpool casue they had no option than to attack.What i saw in the 2nd half gave me nightmares

I'm no Valverde supporter.


But it will be myopic of us to believe that the Alpha and Omega of problem is Valverde. if the coach is sacked, our problems won't cease automatically.

Problems in all department, from defence to midfield to attack. Our problems are bulky. The squad is also ageing with time. We need adequate reinforcements. We've just been spending big on nothing over the years.
We have the perfect squad.We have a good mix of experience and young prospects.We have the best player in the world on top of his game Maybe the centre back position is vulnerable but it takes the right tweaking to get things right there. We just need a leader who pilots the affairs of the team from the managerial level. Who injects belief into players. We cant be leading 3 -1 agg at half time and a player such as Alba is crying. What happened to the days when we came back from Arsenal defeat?? Psg led by 4 goals and we won that game.Where is that spirit?? Remember that some of the players that lost at Anfield played that game against Psg.. How come we are now throwing away goals with the same players that are champions.. The Manager is the problem

Valverde sold out that champions league match at Anfield.I have said it here before that Alba was our weak link in that match and all Valverde needed to do was to play our best player Vidal in the position of Coutinho to back track and help out Alba just like we did against Real Madrid then play Roberto and Semedo in the other position and we wouldve won at Anfield. Klopp saw Alba's error and pushed Liverpool's 2nd half attack through his position and foolish Valverde couldnt even adjust. We were better than Liverpool in that game especially in the first half and our daft coach just threw away a 3 goal lead. The reason he is still kept on that job,i dont know angry angry

Please the moderator of this thread should take it down or remove the word "Engineer".

There are legal and image implications to this against the perception of the general body of Engineers in Nigeria by the world, things like this dont help our image, also You don't call yourself an Engineer publicly in Nigeria unless you are COREN registered.

Do not persist in calling quacks Engineers, it is illegal and very bad.

It is like calling a Traditional healer a Medical Doctor, a lot of people would have been misled before realising the NMA is not the body that certified such "Doctor"

You can change his descriptor to Designer or even Inventor, but not a Nigerian Engineer, its embarrassing.
Nigerians and meaningless titles.That's why someone will put Chief,Dr,Engr all in his name..lol

FYI,you don't have to be certified as an Engr by Coren to be one or practice as one.There are tons of Engr disciplines that have active Engrs. We all think to be an Engr you have to study Mechanical or Civil Engr. In the IT world,there are software,Network,Devops Engr. All work on that capacity
