melodyogonna: Hazard was one of the best dribblers in his day. Just behind Messi. Elder Stanley Okoro was also a great dribbler. Hazard was always below Neymar's level and comparing him to Messi is sacrilegious. |

LostMyZeal: LoL... you're dancing around the main point. Good to see
I insist that Ben Arfa made a mark on football . Yes, he did! I agreed with you. The mark he made is wasting his talent. I am agreeing with you and you are still arguing with me. P.S You made no point to dance around. Your claim that Ben Arfa was bossing midfield is best made at Nite of a Thousand Laughs.  |

Expert17: Agreed, if Bruno had pass to Sancho and Pope intercepted, play it simple and hero ball crew would have attacked him. True but Bruno should not make decisions based on what people on Nairaland will say.  He should do the right things but just do them better. He frustrated me a few times in the last match, and you know i am not a Bruno hater. That move was tailor-made for a slide rule pass with his left towards Sancho and away from the GK. |

Expert17: Agreed, if Bruno had pass to Sancho and Pope intercepted, play it simple and hero ball crew would have attacked him. What we should be talking about is for Bruno and the other midfielders to improve on the accuracy of their passes and their awareness of what's around them. There are too many "nearly" moments in our build up. I mean moments when we nearly have an opening and either the pass is too slow, or it is overhit, or the wrong pass is made. It is not only Bruno. Ronaldo is actually a major culprit. Many of our forwards have tunnel vision when in the attacking third while when City are attacking their players play with a bird's eye view. Awareness and composure are two things we lack in attack. |

LostMyZeal: Are you deliberately feigning ignorance of the fact that Hazard and Neymar back then were touted as the only players who could give the world of football the closest to what Cr7 and Messi offered then?
Or you wanna tell me you were oblivious of Hatem Ben Arfa's exploits
You people rely on stats too much The only mark Ben Arfa made was as a waste of talent. And he never bossed any midfield. He was a highly skilled player with decent pace and exquisite dribbling but lacked discipline and rarely played to tactical instructions. I repeat he never bossed any midfield. It is even strange for you to use him as an example considering the fact that he was as highly rated as Benzema when they were youth players and while Benzema just won the Ballon d'Or Ben Arfa has been a journeyman footballer for the past 5 years. The only mark Ben Arfa made was wasting his God-given talent. |

Expert17: You can't please United fans.
Pope already saw the run from Sancho and the space, any pass to Sancho there will either be intercepted by Pope or result to a 50/50. Passing to CR7 was a plan B which can also result to goal. Bruno is not infallible. The better pass was to Sancho. Even Pele and Maradona in their prime made mistakes so it is okay to accept that Bruno made a mistake. I don't know why so many people here have extremist views. It is either a player is perfect, and every single action of his must be defended, or the player is complete rubbish and can never do anything right. Life is not like that nau. |

izzou: [color=royalblue]Its easier said than done doc.
Tomorrow, you may be on the spotlight, and might have to entertain tweets from people who are not mentally okay
She didn't pick Indonesia. It was him that brought it up[/color] It does not matter who brought it up. This is not a case of 2 market women quarrelling. Even if he brought it up she should not have taken the bait. One of them possibly lives in a boy's quarters in Apongbon and the other is the current Chairman Nigerians in Diaspora Commission and 3-time Chairperson of the House Committee on Diaspora Affairs. That guy calling her a mumu is wrong and should not be defended but her response considering her position is wrong as well and i don't think it should be defended. |

izzou: [color=royalblue]No matter the way she picked, she would come out as uncouth
Maybe she should have kept quiet, but then we are all humans, and everybody has a threshold they can take
If he didn't insult her, this conversation won't have happened[/color] This is why many times as a public figure you keep your cool. She now gets to meet the guy in real life and finds out that he is squatting with his uncle in a single room apartment in Okokomaiko you know she will be the one that will be ashamed. She should be mature enough to control her emotions as a seasoned politician and leader. As a public figure one can't start behaving like a tout because someone is rude online. And she definitely chose the wrong route to clap back in my opinion. Abike Dabiri that is always shedding tears on how Nigerians are stigmatized and maltreated abroad and has been appointed to lead a myriad of organizations to tackle that problem should not be the one to say such. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by afrodoc2: 2:46pm On Oct 18, 2022 |
izzou: [color=royalblue]You did not make any sense to me, to be honest
The guy called her Mumu. That was the beginning of the tweet he showed. Address that one first
Secondly, Abike said "People like him". I am a Nigerian and i am not like him. I dont call people Mumu for no reason.
Theflint brought up a funny reason of stereotyping Nigerians and that was why I said that. It had nothing to do with the argument.
So yes, she is well within her rights to call him whatever she calls him.
If you cannot address the fact that he insulted her first, there is nothing about this case that would make sense to you [/color] Abike Dabiri is not a faceless person on the internet like you and i. Based on what she has stood for over the years in terms of the image and treatment of Nigerians in the diaspora there are a thousand ways she could have insulted him (if she needed to) without alluding to the negative activities of a minority of Nigerians. I also personally find it strange when i see public figures exchanging insults with faceless people on the internet. |

Expert17: You are just hammering on that single mistake. Didn't he make other successful passes? Even Alison and Ederson make such mistake not to talk of someone just learning the trade at 31.
There's nothing bad in appreciating a player that shows signs of improvement. The no of times he has stepped out of his box in the past weeks should be equal or even more than the whole of last season. Will you extend his contract or get a true ball playing GK. My fear is that by the time DDG masters playing out of the back his shot stopping skills would have drastically diminished. |

ChristoBam: Degea? You know man made a suicidal pass yesterday. We're only lucky Newcastle were useless yesterday. He gave the pass to a player(I think Casemiro) marked by 3 Newcastle players. It was to Fred. Fred was so tightly marked that i initially didn't see him and thought DDG was passing to Newcastle players. The guy press triangle give Fred pass in front of our 18-yard box. Fred was backing the field and had a Newcastle player on either side and another rushing in behind. I almost threw my remote at the TV. DDG has limited understanding about this passing out from the back thing. The guy just dey gbiyanju. |

patrickmuf: Antony to always pass the ball to a player in a better position and not try to find Ronaldo every time...I noticed a good number of times yesterday where he sought to find Ronaldo instead of a pass to another teammate... This is where CR7 interferes with the flow of the game through no fault of his own. It is obvious that Antony idolises the guy and is always trying to make him happy. Bruno does the same. Eriksen, Martial, Sancho are the 3 attacking players that i trust to make the right choice more often than not and find the open man. |
