eph12:
No sensible central midfielder will want to be like Pogba instead of Scholes

In behaviour, not in productivity on the pitch.

73 assists in 709 matches, this was not shakushaku, this was lalakukulala.

eph12:
If Pogba quits today, nobody that wants to be successful will take him as a mentor/role model. There are so many other players that have won the world cup or made that list that nobody even remembers. But interview your legends today, they will call one name. E get why na

No sensible central midfielder will want to finish career with a terrible, 73 assists in 709 matches and not making world best 11 once, in 19 seasons. They will prefer to win a world cup and make Fifa best 11 once before they quit.

eph12:
Ferguson wanted Gerrard to come and learn how to play football the right way under Scholes, not kick and follow nonsense he was used to. That's why England failed woefully with Lampard and Gerrard

Even your colleagues here, know that you are deceiving yourself.

sylvalord:
Scholes was not the one who slipped when he should have been on his feet leading his team to victory. Fergie must have been chasing him at full speed and that is why he fell when he was running away. Airhead

Scholes>Lampard+Gerrard+Zidane

You even added a smilie at the end of your moronic line.

eph12:
Now I understand the bad influence in Pogba's life. See as Pogba career wan end before e even start because he is unfortunate to want to play like Lampard. Tufiakwa

Pogba has desciplinary issues and Lampard even criticised him.

If Pogba quits today, he won world cup and he made Fifa best 11, something the overrated albino never achieved, despite playing till 45yrs.

eph12:
People that know ball won't be asking questions like this na. Ferguson had a style and he played to that style. That's why he was so successful. He wasn't playing corner kicks and free kicks. I can't believe I am explaining this thing to you like this.

PS: I didn't go personal, I hyped you instead. Your knowledge of football has always been like this







_{Na joke o}

Ferguson wanted to replace him with Gerrard, because he needed more from his CM, which Scholes wasn't giving.

Whose fault that Scholes couldn't play corner and freekicks well? That's a plus for Lampard and you even helped in exposing Scholes limited skillset.

Very soon you will blame Ferguson for Scholes failure as a supporting striker when he started.

eph12:
You can't be sane and pick Lampard ahead of the midfield maestro. It's just not possible

Your best midfielder in the last 3yrs and the only world cup winner in your mumu team, picked Lampard ahead of your overrated albino. No wonder the albino hates him.

eph12:
What happened to you airmark? Your knowledge of football used to be above average na. Is this coronavirus getting to you?

When they have no nerve to debunk good points, they go personal.

Didn't your overrated Scolesy, average 1 assist in every 10 matches based on his terrible 73 assists in 709 matches? None of other midfielders with low assists are this terrible.

eph12:
Scholes made sure the ball gets to the wings as often as possible. That was the style of play in which Scholes was very integral to. Someone that made multiple champions league finals, won 2 champions league and multiple leagues as a key player in the team. You don't know ball

When did he make best 11 of any of those Ucl tournaments, he reached their finals?

The albino was a carry-along midfielder, that averaged a terrible, 1 assist in every 10 matches. He was busy spraying useless passes to corner flags, instead of playing multiple key passes.

eph12:

Wetin the albino wan do here? Pass or shoot?

I stumbled on the stats below and i could see why Scholes has terrible assists stats.

While Lampard and Gerrard were supplying impressive key passes for their teams, Scholes was playing most of his passes to corner flags.

73 assists in 709 matches is disgraceful.

Lampard over Scholes, everyday of the week.

timay:
The thing is , they don't really value technical midfielders in England. No matter the talk, they will always want to rate Lampard or Gerrard .

The only people that rates Scholes are mainly Man utd fans(Out of loyalty) and outsiders/people outside England. Those people outside, especially countries that play good football not kick and rush are the ones that see and appreciatethe technicality of Paul scholes. The mumu English fans no Sabi football that much, they don't see you as a good midfielder if you don't play 1000 shots per game from 30 yards

Where are his assists? Abi na shots make assists too?

Scholes would have retired before he even reached 25 if Ferguson got Gerrard.

73 assists in 709 matches is disgraceful from a central midfielder that played for 19 seasons.

None of Modric, Xavi, Lampard, Gerrard, Fabregas, Yaya Toure, Iniesta, has this terrible assists stats that the overrated albino has.

Tough and unacceptable.

larride:
No sir.

No one see the executive order signed by Buhari. The Presidency never announced it. It was a rumor that went around social media which the govt never confirm or deny.

Even the police claimed they are not aware of such order.

Here’s a screenshot and link from what I can reasonable gather.

https://allafrica.com/stories/201906060338.html

Thanks, i will revert later.

Lose which battle to overrated Albino?

Xavi taught him a lesson of his life.

sylvalord:
Will you shut that your Ikputu Onu? You Duck-billed platypus. All those players you are comparing with Scholes will slap that your long mouth into place if they catch you making such silly arguments.

This one is seriously pained like a kid they took his puff puff.

Ferguson was chasing Gerrard for years to replace the unproductive albino.

larride:
I’m just hearing about this from you. Buhari did not make that pronounciation yesterday, let me check if he just made some adjustment to it today.

I didn't say he made it yesterday. I only learnt that last december that everyone with guns even licensed, will be arrested if found.

That's why amotekun are also not allowed to carry arms. Do your DD.

larride:
@ airmark

It’s Fake News. Nothing of such.

What's fake news?

gensteejay:
There many of them in Agbowo, directly opposite UI Gate.

Many homes in that area were burgled during last Christmas/New Year season. My friend almost lost his life when they robbed his house, along with several other houses in the neighborhood, on the midnight of December 25.

He did his Christmas at UCH.

Wow, that reminds me.

@ larride, i learnt that Buhari ordered everyone including vigilante security groups to return their firearms, and none must carry guns while securing the neighbourhoods. This is exposing the citizens to easy attacks by robbers.

Like gensteejay recounted, i almost lost an uncle last december too. Robbers came, the security guards saw them but could only alert the people while they also ran for cover.
The robbers raided the area, stabbed and shot some. Police came 30mins after they left.

Don't you think this is a stupid order from the government? Now citizens are defenceless and police will not come to their rescue, giving no fuel, flat tyre and other annoying excuses . These are the things that get many angry about some decisions/policies of this government.

patrickmuf:
Lampard is a great just like Scholes and many others...

Sometimes and most times, this argument no make sense. Nobody go shift ground at all. What's the point engaging in it?

You should shift ground like eph12.

73 assists in 709 matches is terrible from a great CM that had quality attackers in front of him for 19 years at United.

Modric even has superior assists stats.

You should not bring Scholes near Lampard please. It's a big joke.

TeeBabss:
UI area and all these cultists gist sha, I fear o

Well, it's good that people are adhering to the 7-6 curfew, but interstate movement has not been effective

Cultists at UI area? I thought it's Apete and other poly environs, that are more proned.

patrickmuf:
Airmark, I no get energy...I am reading the bants on your thread and laughing. Some guys dey take this NL banter to heart like kids...

Put respect on Lampards name bro.

I just dey catch fun.

When i start my course after this Corona malady, i will leave nairaland. I'm on a last rush.

patrickmuf:
Point out the goals Modric scored at the Mundial, let's fact check.

You don't care about chances created.

Good to let you know that no midfielder outscored Modric in the world cup.

airmark:
Modric is a good midfielder, his performance in the world cup came with big chances created, assists and crucial goals, which fetched him accolades that he never had before. Same as Zidane's top performances in crucial matches with goals, chances created and assists. That's what made Lampard to drown Scholes in hot waters.

patrickmuf:
You're sounding like your friend Dayo. So, Modric belated a final? I understand it's all for fun, enjoy.

Where did i mention final?

Modric didn't wait for final only to put top performance. He did well throughout the tournament. So i don't know what informed comparism with Dayos 'beasting the final' logic.

Scholes 73 assists in 709 matches for United is unacceptable and shameful

You mentioned Modric, Zidane, Fabregas. They all have superior assists stats compared to your overrated albino.

patrickmuf:
Well, let's roll... Is Modric is a great? How would you rate Modric vs Fabregas?

If you don't mind, let's see Modric's stats. How about Zidane? Not stopping, do you rate Veratti?

Modric is a good midfielder, his performance in the world cup came with big chances created, assists and crucial goals, which fetched him accolades that he never had before. Same as Zidane's top performances in crucial matches with goals, chances created and assists. That's what made Lampard to drown Scholes in hot waters.

patrickmuf:
Some arguments are just not worth it. Scholes only sin was coming from England where midfielders are celebrated for for scoring goals rather than dictating the play. Spatial awareness, passing and control of the game is what you use to rate MIDFIELDERS. Scholes is better than Lampard, Gerrard and Fabregas.

The funny thing here is that I am seeing folks who frown at stats when used to define Hazard use the same metric to drag Scholes...

If you are not having good numbers in chances created and assists, no one will rate you as the best central midfielder, unless if you play for Uefalona.

Gerrard would have sent overrated Scholes to the bench permanently, if Ferguson had succeeded in buying him.

Meanwhile, Hazard has decent stats among other wingers in epl, unlike your overrated albino among the likes of Lampard and Gerrard.

700+ and 155 goals. What about assists ?

larride:
Taiye currency is his Special Adviser on Tourism and Culture.

Banned NURTW?

He basically renamed them park managers and guess who head the disciplinary committee? Auxiliary.

The same Auxiliary that was a known NURTW kingpin who was sentenced to jail in 2013 for attempted murder. LOL

The more you look, the less you see.

Omo, you even have grassroot info. You can't tell me you are not eyeing a political post.

BlueRayDick:
I pray o, cos I doubt most people around that side even take the virus serious like that. I don't even think people over there go about with Hand sanitizers and face masks like we do in Lagos

The lockdown will help, if not, it will be a serious problem.

seankafor:
no African city can turn to bergamo.

There is a reason we aren't dropping dead like them..

E get why

I pray o.

eph12:
So you can't even take a break to answer this simple tough question

We are not yet through with your overrated albino that only had 55 assists in 19 seasons.

BlueRayDick:
I was one of those that kept on rooting for him going by how he's been taking some decisions like suspending activities of NURTW guys and the likes.....I was equally disappointed in that stupid rally he held.

Dem bode George now sef, only God knows if dem never Carry am too

He made a terrible mistake allowing that rally to hold.

I pray that Corona doesn't turn Ib to Bergamo.

BlueRayDick:
Taye currency I suspect. He came back from the UK and didn't self isolate but attended the rally brother Seyi organized.

The other way he could've been infected is if he had been in contact with UCH director or his deputy who both tested positive already

Taye currency already confirmed?

Davido being positive is still wondrous to me. Weed dey comot this thing?

BlueRayDick:
In other News, GSM Don test positive to coro

Brother Seyi o, who infected him now?

Skimpledawg:
I would do anything to continue the Financial and investment posts championed by Ibime, raumdeuter, afrodoc2 and others.


All these 'children' bants dey turn belle. Can never read anything reasonable from them.

Make una dey get sense.

You could post without throwing insults and still be reasonable.
