raumdeuter: Fortunately football is not a bricklayer job, it involves thinking a lot
That's why players without Muscles like Messi David Silva Bernardo, Iniesta Busquets Neymar etc dominate football and not the likes of Samba Zouma Chris Wood
Pep turned the PL to a farmers league withpeople like Gundogan and Fodenover1.5bn
popizaino: He is world class striker,I only prefer Lewandowski because of height otherwise, Benzema thick all boxes for me as the number one striker in the world even before now.
Not only height, Lewandowski is better in front of goal. Scrap your height isonu.
donstan18: Lol. Benzema is a small boy compared to some guys nh.
Lewy, Aguero and Suarez are bosses to him.
He’s a quality striker, but he just started recently...
Someone at 34, who just started getting recognized 2 years ago? Nawao!! Even heard he bagged his 20 league goals last season for the first time in his career, true?
He got his first 25+ league goals in a season last season after gazillion attempts.
nihilistjnr: You are blaming the Queen of another country for the war that happened as a result of infighting between two coupists, and you're talking about whataboutism?
You, the same guy that spent weeks here supporting British intervention in the Ukraine war, and supported the British Government seizing Chelsea FC from Abramovich and selling it for FREE because he was Russian?
You're the guy that is now blaming the Queen for Britain's support of the FG in a civil war?
HewlettPackard: Tuchel had no business winning that UCL, made us believe we were a top quality side, European best, when in fact we are the 6th of top six.
Adiwana: Same way Rodri is being targeted at Man City? Mind you, this guys have the same profile
Are man city not the king of possession-based football in England? This shows you don't understand the point made and no need for further back and forth.
Adiwana: Jorginho fared better than Busquet? Man, you disrespect Busquet a lot and that’s not even funny anymore.
How many DMs have come through the ranks of Barca and Spain over the years that have taken that role from Busquet. The likes of Carrick and Busquet have proven you don’t need physicality to comfortably play that role. What they lack in physicality is highly compensated with their intelligence on and off the ball. This is what is heavily lacking in Jorginho’s game.
Jorginho cannot play that lone DM alone. Kovacic, Veratti and Kante must be there. He’s easily dispossessed and bullied off the ball under high press. Busquet literally made his name in the game with his ability to beat a press.
Over 10 yrs, Busquet is still an integral part of Barca and Spain. If that’s not greatness, I don’t know what it is
That Barca team with Xavi and Iniesta in the middle only needed a good short passes giver like Busquets and Jorginho with minimum defensive duties to face as opponents were mostly subdued, defending in their halves. The moment Xavi and Iniesta left, Busquets was getting exposed getting his defence battered in Ucl, while his fans were giving flimsy age excuse. Those that Barca brought couldn't do those collect and pass thing like Busquets that's why they couldn't dislodge him. There's a reason Fraudiola was also interested in Jorginho as he knows how to do those short passes for the rest of the team to destroy the opposition.
Prime Busquets in Chelsea team won't survive 1 season as he will be targeted weekly and like Jorginho he will quake.
Valdes was hyped and we were telling people that it was the Barca team shielding him as he was facing limited attacks from oppositions. When he arrogantly and mistakenly came to Man UTD, the rest is history.
popizaino: Jorginho wouldn't have been able to do anything in that Barca team because he doesn't possess half the intelligent of Busquet,playing in that prime Barca or any possession based team or being a DM generally,goes beyond looking frail or being energetic but being very very intelligent. I have watched Jorginho for many years and he doesn't possess that intelligence that would have made him a success in that Barcelona team. And who told you opponent rarely torment a DM in a possession based team? they do and for Sergio Busquet's it is needless when you can't dispossess him.
Jorginho would have done well in that Barca team as he would have little to no defensive questions to answer. You need to tell me the intelligence that Busquets has that Jorginho doesn't. Forget the bants, Jorginho would do well in a possession based team with his attackers destroying defenders consistently.
And who told you Busquets can't be dispossessed? Don't let me bombard here with his gifs o. Didn't you read when he was in his prime and Barca fans at a point complained about him losing possession carelessly and not even strong?
popizaino: Andrea Pirlo : Football is played with your head,your feet are just your tools.
Makelele : The major quality of a defensive midfielder is to be intelligent and clever.
Two of the greatest DM talking about how the position is not majorly about strength but about your IQ. This was the same quality i saw in both Andrea Pirlo and Makelele's game is the same thing i saw in[b] Michael Carrick[/b], Sergio Busquet's game that makes me rate them highly but yet to see it in Jorginho's game,so it's always very surprising to me when people want to tell me i don't know about DM or want to force me to like Jorginho.
Towards the end of the video, Makelele said a DM position also demands physicality among other things. If you are just intelligent and can't defend you will only be suitable as a DM for a team that consistently attack opponents to submission.
Jorginho probably would have fared better like Busquets, in a Barca team of MSN in attack with Iniesta and Xavi denying opponents the breathing space in the middle. Opponents would rarely torment a DM in such team and he will shine with his 'pass and rest' football, with people hardly noticing his defensive frailties.
drisham: Coming from someone that compared Maximin to sterling,calls pep a fraud and stans belloxi
Wow
Probably if Tuchel had signed Maximin he wouldn't have got booted out. Some people are already compiling Sterling's big chances missed.
Fraudiola hasn't won Ucl without Messi and has spent over 1.5bn in Man city. He also confirmed he would have been sacked after his woeful performance in his first season, in a bigger club. That's a fraud there, Chelsea would have fired him.
Belotti was Dayo's top 10 striker too, and many top clubs vied for him back then.
So compare these to saying Sarri, who almost bored us to death with 1000 passes and 1 or no goal football that you enjoyed.
A40: Dude you're approaching your mid 40s. Why do you care so much about my opinion? I'm doing what? Do you think I care for the perception of a useless or other foolish shitfvcks like yourself?
We are talking of who Kante was and what he had already achieved before you started knobjockeying. Wasn't he a local champion? Had he won an International trophy when I called him that?
Was Kante not an EPL Champion and PFA Team member then. Was he an unknown? Guy piss off and go and bore somebody else with your foolishness
So you knew all these back then, yet you irresponsibility cussed me and foolishly maligned him?
If you are not ashamed of yourself, then you have a serious problem.
My post hyping the same Kante back then:
airmark: His individual qualities spoke for him. Kante has never played ucl in his life, only a dindinrin like you will downgrade his quality cos of that.
I am determined to expose irresponsible posters like you, so that people will start ignoring your foolish opinions and we have only sane posts to read.
A40: You're just yarnin dust. And showing your lack of critical thinking skills. No wonder you can't be a scout or coach. You're a simpleton
I didn't rate a player means he's not made? Didn't Kante make PFA team of the season before ever joining Chelsea. What does my current approval have to do with what a player achieved?
You're a doofus! and a well known obsessive stalker so why would I care that you dig up my old posts since 2015. I already know you don't have better things to do with your time.
You're an unrepentant f00l that's why you remain a slave to your foolish and wrong opinions.
Shameless boy.
Your Kante Kunta that was Ebu (useless player) that you labelled a local champion, now is who you called made before joining Chelsea. Instead of you to keep it shut, you are still here disgracing yourself and exposing to everyone that your opinions are not reliable.
It's good that you are even doing this to yourself here. Only fools will not take your opinions here with a pinch of salt. Shame.
lateefGRDT: Boss airmark, I'm mentioning you on a dead thread the second time ... Pls can i send you a PM or any means to contact you directly, would love to discuss something with you
CC airmark
Sorry I missed it. I lost my pw to my email. If you can't post here by tomorrow I will send you an email address. Being busy offline these days.
You have conceded 4 set piece in 5 games , against the 4 that was conceded the whole of last season..
How many counter dy don use chop koulibaly alone this season?
How many matches did Kante that usually carried Jorginho, play this season? Is Mendy in top form this season? Carry your nonsense Rudiger talk away jare.
