A40: Bundesliga provided the most goals at the 2014 World cup so we're entitled some time to dance shakushaku.
Even IBB no rule for ever, after sometime he stepped aside for Abacha to take over
Why didn't they avoid the qualifiers, if this your stupid excuse was the reason none of burthisleaguedown attackers could outscore John stones in Russia?
No wonder they idolised Chicharito in Germany. Useless shakushaku burnthisleaguedown attackers.
A40: They didn't make World cup for the Bundesliga alone. In 2014 Bayern led the World with 18 goals, let me know when Premiership teams do it
So burnthisleaguedown attackers came to Russia to dance shakushaku, becaue Germany won the cup 4 years ago.
It was coefficient excuse for ucl, now german league players, even those playing for different countries, failed to contribute to goals, because Germany won it in 2014. I pray you don't carry gun last last.
Seems am not the only one wondering why such question were not raised about morata been conte's first choice when he was busy scoring in consecutive matches .and again I tend to wonder y conte chose to go ahead with the preseason of a team that didn't support him financially amid the uncertainty of his future.
Don't you think there is something conte isn't telling us?
According to reports, his contractual terms restricted him from doing so. He would have paid a huge fine to Chelsea, if had dared it. So he had no choice, than to remain as coach.
Conte didn't support buying many average players which is sensible. If it's 3 players you can afford buy quality players that would suit the system of the coach in charge. Liverpool did exactly that and they reached ucl final.
Blame your board, that dragged foot, until we had no choice than to go for Morata, who was central to our rubbish season.
Blame your board that preferred to buy quantity instead of quality as opined by Conte during the season.
Dayo needs to inform this former arsenal ajakaja40 fan, what 'raumdeuter' truely means, as defined by Muller himself. He doesn't dribble into space, he runs into it, banging in goals or delivering assists.
Ibime: Winger is not his primary position. Compared to other CAMS, he should be in the top 10% for pace.
Ask the mumu arguing blindly to watch most of Muller's goals and check the pattern - run into scoring positions, to score. His swiftness has reduced now compared to what he had years ago.
Ibime: I've always thought Muller good pace especially for a CAM. . . at least according to what my eyes have always noticed.
I always doubt myself when I see our Nairaland Bayern boys claiming he has no pace or physicality. Since they watch him each week, I would be inclined to believe them and start to doubt my own eyes. My eye must be paining me.
Forget all those ninnies on that thread. Most of the time i would just read their comments, laughed and let it slide. Muller had a very decent pace, very sharp reflex, especially inside the box to attack the ball.
Imagine despite showing this ajakaja, a gif showing Muller's pace, he wouldn't stop arguing blindly. If one wants to be bursting their claims everyday, one will not do anything else outside nairaland.
A40: That is not related to speed my guy. You don't need any kind of elite speed or swiftness to possess elite positioning skills. Its why the best defenders are not necessarily the quickest, I can go on and on even into other sports
You must be joking. Because the camera with the control, most times focused mainly on the man with the ball on your tv screen, you wouldn't know the runs made by other attackers to get into scoring positions. It's obvious you never played football.
See how Muller got himself into this scoring position and tell me he didn't need pace. He doesn't do this like before again.
A40: What does it matter if a non-dribbler like Mueller loses his swiftness on the ball? People are usually more scared of Mueller without the ball by default
I have highlighted the reasons for Mueller's struggles in my post and they have nothing to do with pace
For every Modric I could give you 10 midfielders two years older or younger that have faded to oblivion within similar timeframe. Besides its not like he didn't have seasons of struggle within similar timeframe
You mentioned positioning as one of his issues. I don't want to go into details of how loss of swiftness can affect your off the ball movements/positioning. You can easily figure it out.
A40: Again Mueller's game has never been predicated on speed, speed of thought yes but not actual physical speed! Check his goals and I bet you less than 10% would require any form of speed
Quit using extreme old age examples to present an argument. Kanu's decline had nothing to do with speed! The muhfugga just got old! And that's why I countered with the Berbatov example
Do you know how long Rooney has been playing? You are waiting for a guy who has been playing professional football since age 16 to get to age 36 before showing signs of decline? Get real! Not everybody can be a machine like Ronaldo.
Few players drop more than 5 seasons of consistent excellence without a drop, Mueller has been balling since 2009-2010 it's not beans baba
Nobody said Muller hasn't tried, the point is, he has declined in his swiftness on the ball, which you refused to accept.
Balling since 2009-2010 is impressive but that's not unheard of. Modric just won the best player award in Russia at 32. I know you know how long he has been doing his thing at the top.
I am not taking anything away from Muller, i still believe he can return to his peak. When you see a spade, call it its name. Everything shouldn't be turned to an argument.
A40: Lmaooo your example is a 36 year old Kanu (football age) experiencing football rigor mortis. Don't confuse the complete lack of ability to compete at elite league level to a loss of speed. Its like you telling me Berbatov or Mario Gomez has lost his quickness. Does that make any kind of sense?
Mueller's problem is not a lack of speed! What he has lost is his positioning and spatial awareness, his failure to improve his technique, poor outside shooting among some other flaws
He is not as swift with the ball as the Muller of 4 years ago. It has nothing to do with positioning. I just used Kanu's example to tell you that a player not known for his speed could still get his quality degraded, when the swiftness in his game dwindles. Rooney didn't reach 36 before his game dropped and couldn't play his role on the field like before.
Does Muller live in a brothel or spend his life outside the pitch in a beer parlour?
A40: You have gone from speed to acceleration, small time you go soon begin talk of velocity. Confused human being! Only a complete numpty would mention speed and Mueller in the same sentence cos Mueller has never been quick to the point where a drop in acceleration or speed would possibly hurt his game.
Both of una fit unaself, but the highlighted is very wrong. Kanu for example, despite his style at his peak in arsenal, was swifter than the one that played for Portsmouth in 2011/2012. All footballers lose their quickness later, which affects their quality. Muller's is shocking considering his age, unless you just want to deliberately lie. Against madrid in the ucl, it was evident. At the world cup, it was confirmed he has lost it.
Agbakolly: Do you know we snatched jorginho under pep nose? Conte didn't support matic sale to epl rival We did bid for lukaku and he choosed United over us........
That was a 'siamese' move to get Sarri. Now Sarri is here, you will see how they will start dragging foot on buying quality players. If the CSKA president didn't come out to say nothing has been agreed with Chelsea on Golovin, some of us would think Golovin is about to hit Heathrow this evening.
Agbakolly: We can't always sign all our transfer targets but we did bid for koulibaly even laurentis confirmed it.....Conte left juvr because they didn't sign Juan iturbe....iturbe now plays for a Mexican side....Conte transfer targets are mostly donkeys sef...llorente candreva bibany.....I'm glad the wigman is out....No more suffer without the ball nonsense
Do you know that Conte didn't support Matic's sale? Do you know that Morata wasn't his first choice? Do you know that Conte would have resigned before the league started last season? I hope the board won't use that wack transfer system for Sarri.
I won't be surprised if Monaco steal Golovin under our nose and we start looking for injured players again to buy.
CSKA president on Golovin: "Chelsea? There is no closed arrangement with them. But the question of his transition to another club will be decided, I think, in the next couple of days."
Lautechgossip: Oba Adejugbe, in his reply, thanked God that nobody died during the poll.
“As if we knew, monarchs arranged many meetings before the election and pleaded with everybody that before, during and after the poll, we don’t want any trouble. We said then that whoever wins, there should be no problem. The way I see you, I know something is happening. You rarely wear this type of dress in the palace.
Yoruba elders know how to unexpectedly hit you hard with subtle words.
raumdeuter: And the golden boot in the CL or where? Mumu you don come with your foolishness again
You said Owen won the golden boot in epl when it was mediocre, yet same year a team from that mediocre league beat your great team in ucl final. Don't you think you deserve a koboko on that your bald head?
raumdeuter: [s]Boateng can show us his world cup trophy and world cup final performance, which one can Terry or Hidden Hazard show?
At the end of Boatengs career CL won with a great final performance, World cup won with a great performance in the final. How about Terry and Hazard[/s]
You said Neymar had 2 assists, Fifa proved you wrong and you were shamed.
You said Boathand had a solid world cup in Russia, bundesliga just proved you wrong.
You keep collecting Ls from home and abroad, you will be good as a delivery man.
raumdeuter: Golden boot that he was dragging with Dion Dublin and Chris Sutton in the very mediocre EPL of that time, when he got to CL and World cup we can see how useless he was. On the level of walcott
Owen won the golden boot in 1999, remind me the team that won the glamorous ucl in 1999, beating your useless team, bayern in the final?
Hazardfan1, come and tie down your useless uncle, who claimed epl was mediocre in 1999, yet his team was beaten by one mediocre epl team.
Ibime, nihilist, diggz, come and watch this rap video from Burndesliga. Boathand expectedly missing, in their burnthisleaguedown world cup dream team track.
