APPRECIATION
IKORODU MUSLIM COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION GARDEN OF BLISS CEMETERY (MAQBARA)

With gratitude to Allah and on behalf of all organs of Ikorodu Muslim Community Association (IMCA), we express most sincerely our appreciation to our spiritual fathers and ALL DONORS for the valuable financial role towards procuring a 6 acres and two plots of land to be used as a lasting home - Maqbara (Muslim Cemetery).

It is our fervent prayer that Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) in His infinite mercy will replenish you all in wealth, health amd wisdom. We pray He grant you the strength to continue to contribute to eternally rewarding endeavour and betterment of humanity. Amin

We wholeheartedly appreciate and please be assured of our highest respects and best wishes at all times.

In the sayings of our fathers, 'a lazy being is to be aided completely, if we buy a cloth for said person, it needs to be beautify with a befitting tie and dye.' On this note, we'll like to bring to the notice of the public and as well solicit for their usual handsome donations for the construction of perimeter fence of the procured land so as to take ownership.

As you do, we say ILLAL AMOM IN SHA ALLAH WA JAZAKUMULLAHU KHAIRAN.

One wonders how Havertz continue to be a starter for every coach considering the level of bashing from Nairaland.

Though, there are inadequacies in him but his positive contributions outshines any inadequacy.

nateevs:
Don't mind these guys. People think unconscious bias and subsequently racism only occurs in a White coloured body. But this is plain racism on display. If it is English it cannot be good. Even Amodu sef join.

Imagine such nonsense coming from people who support a club that produced Joe Cole. You watch Foden, Rico Lewis, Saka, Bellingham, Rowe Smith and continue to say the English players are below average. Which kain rubbish?

Go to the youth leagues and see what's coming up. Watch Mendel Idowu and tell me he's not something special.

Repeating the same nonsense every week.

Why won't I?

One is growing frustrated everyday with the shit they offer. The growth that supposed to be seen in their overall play is what we're experiencing in terns of frustration.

A player will be termed good if possess a blend of skill set, technique and hardwork. Most of these players are bunch of hustlers lacking football skills.

Mount contributes nothing to midfield play - he always wait for chances creation instead of being chances creator.

Loftus-Cheek, the less said the better.

Gallagher can still be seen in his role, orchestrating play in midfield. However, still average.

I am reminded of Hudson Odoi who nothing is been heard of him in the Bundesliga.

For Graham Potter, Chelsea owners have left us with no choice than to live by the beginner coach.

Almajirihunter:
I'm beginning to buy this British boys mediocrity theory, Gallagher and Mount are just like their elder brother Henderson, they have very low ceilings

Having Mount, Gallagher, Loftus Cheek in midfield and Potter as coach speaks a lot about our present position.

Disheartening we still have people clamouring for these lowly lots.

ImDStar:
Which of the youths?
The ones in irabiji or Lagos?
One thing I've come to discover is, majority of the people supporting Tinubu are the ones outside Lagos and brainwashed that Tinubu built lagos.

It's either 50/50 or Obi wins Lagos with a very slim merging.

If not for threat from Tinubu's agbero to the market women, Peter Obi would beat Tinubu with wide merging.

Abeg stop this merging, allow them go their separate ways.

In proper perspective and expression, the difference in margin between Asiwaju (Ordained winner) and Peter Obi (Ordained loser) will be like heaven and earth.

This kind of picture is depressing for Obidense

I just hope they will not die before the arrival of death

Honestly, I somehow feel Todd has been talking to Graham this whole while and has been receiving his affirmation to the signings we all thought they were making for Tuchel. No surprises, he also plays Tuchel’s formation... It looks more or less like the sack was planned well before now. The Zagreb show was just used as excuse.. And you can't tell me some of the players don't know about the plan and deliberately downed tools to hasten the sack

-Joe Cole

Did he truly say this?

Shut up

Don't abuse the magnanimity of an elder o

“Miss road appreciation”

You’re not in any position to tell me when and how to appreciate a manager I want to appreciate. No be you to tell me who to appreciate and when to do it.

Truly, I don't have any legal right to tell an adult what to do and what not to do. But It will be disservice to you to watch you derail, jettisoning appropriateness for inappropriateness owing to your reservation for Tuchel.

How can you reward a child that failed in class and ignore the child that comes out in flying colours?

You can't do this and we elders watch you effortlessly.

Agba ki wa l'oja, ki ori ọmọ tún tún o wọ

donstan18:
So when are we discussing Di Matteo>> Mou because of UCL and SPENDING??

Appreciating a failed manager in the face of a sacked winner is a miss road appreciation and that is the discussion.

Don't shift goal post.

donstan18:
Yea, Di Matteo >>> Mou

UCL without Spending like Mou.

Thanks

Tuchel >>>>> Lampard
Mourinho >>>>> Lampard
Di Matteo >>>>> Lampard
Conte >>>>> Lampard
Ancelloti >>>> Lampard
Sarri >>>>> Lampard
Benitez >>>>> Lampard
Hiddink >>>> Lampard
Vialli >>>>> Lampard

So let's see where your ink will take you to appreciate these managers, then if you're still left with ink which I strongly doubt, you can appreciate your tested and trusted failure.

donstan18:
Yea, Di Matteo then is deserving of GOAT status over Mou for winning UCL for Chelsea without SPENDING like Mou.

Unthinkable that one will tag Lampard, a trophy less manager GOAT and rank him among title winning managers.

Tuchel, Di Matteo and Mourinho added to our laurels, and so the unforgettable.

donstan18:
My post has nothing to do with your GOAT Tuchel.

Just appreciated Lampard for doing what most managers can’t do even after spending.

Since the appreciation is Chelsea related, Tuchel is more deserving of it for lifting the UCL without spending and has eluded a certain manager even after spending a country's budget.

Let's prioritise weighty attainment and decorate it with weighty appreciation.

donstan18:
Argue till tomorrow, Lampard will remain GOATED for comfortably making top4 with championship academy boys and qualifying Chelsea from UCL group’s stage.

To many of us as a fan, winning that 2nd UCL trophy is a great service than a top 4.

A great tangible and bragging right bequeathed on us by Thomas Tuchel.

Hence, Tuchel is more GOATED in Chelsea's history.

Kovacic did EVERYTHING in that midfield.

He was faced with the dilemma of no midfield partner to exchange passes with. His good for nothing midfield partner, Mount is always in the opposition box waiting for others to create for him when he ought to create.

Check the circuit image shared, Mount is always the fourth man in attack.

Mount supposed to be added to ritual materials to safe us from the rot.

Mount, is that a player?

Mount finishing that match remains a mystery to me.

He neglected his midfield responsibility
Isolated Kovacic all through

Mount contributed nothing while he involved in more minutes than Ziyech and Ziyech is the one called out.

This thread reeks of bias

Yesterday's beautiful performance again clearly shows Tuchel is tactically outstanding and always do his part.

Failure on the part of our attackers to be clinical is always the hitch.

Have a pleasant read

dostr4:
It's fans preference, name any other proven quality attacker with low transfer fees & wages that can fit our team.

The point is, it is just an effort in futility because those at the helms of recruitment does not hear nor sees it

dostr4:
Werner , lukaku ,Christiansen gone!
Sarr, alonso to follow suit. Hearing rumours about Odoi, e better be true...Barkley & batshuayi agents are dulling us.
I'd let Rlc for this season,At least a squad player for Rwb/ cdm.. Depay & Frankie can be very good additions. I hope ampadu stays

Fans keep linking Depay to Chelsea when no outfit has reported such.

Stop this self deceit

hensben:
Mount too is not creative nor possessive, he can only square play, run, play corner or shoot one thousand times inside crowd. These guys don’t understand what Tuchel is going through with this half players.

Much pleasing to hear this.

We need to come to the reality and acknowledge Mount is not serving us what he ought serve us in midfield activities.

He is as well a culprit.

hensben:
The problem is Jorg, he is not existence, mostly against an intense opposition, he can’t do his primary duty of possessing and progressing the play nor can he protect the defense when we are being attacked. He is thin and easily dominated by any half decent midfielder.

In as much as he is one of the holders of the position, midfield where we are finding this fault, i agree he is a culprit.

However, we need to come with equity and say the same of Kante. As many faults and weaknesses we can identify in Jorginho, we should not exonerate Kante; too many misplaced passes, and his decision making in the final third is below par.

I don't know what is actually responsible for the less action we do witness in our midfield while the bulk of it is seen on the flank.

Quite unimaginable that Iwobi drafted into a new position entirely had much of the ball and action in the midfield yesterday.

Is it the combo of Jorginho/Kante or the none involvement of Mount or the 3-4-3 formation?

I don't know actually.

Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella

I think having this two is better than having the trio of Kenedy, Emerson and Alonso.

lordfalcao:
we want kenedy, colwil, emerson, ampadu, .. etc

All these two for 5 naira players are what we are going to use and close the gap between mancity

Quite laughable.

Season is long ooo

All these players are corpse that are no strangers to burial sites. How on earth should we put our hopes in them.

Though, among them, i have soft spot for Armando Broja. Hoping he will be given the chance.

Singapore1:
Apart from Bissouma, Perisic is almost 34 years old, I don't think he will be an upgrade over Cucurella, and I googled his wage; rumour is that he is around 210,000 per week. Wage structure also matters.

The market is already inflated, and we are at that time where Defenders are more expensive than forwards. No one is ready to let go of their defender except we are going to South America to gamble on players from Flamingo.

This is not to absolve tuchel of any wrongdoings, he is obviously very bad at signing. I don't think he has been entrusted with signing players since he began his coaching career

He also confessed to hate participation in transfer activities. Not his calling. We should absolve him of any wrongdoing considering trying to do his best in what circumstances has thrown at him.

Let us wish him best in his choices and be optimistic of the players hitting the ground running.

Ibime:
The.players he is chasing for £50m are not quality, just expensive quantity. What's £50m about Ake and Dumbfries and how in any way are they more proven in quality than Perisic and Bissouma.

I hope you know Matteo Darmian was benching Dumbfries for a good portion of last season. Yes, the useless Man Utd flop Matteo Darmian!

Well, frankly speaking, i detest the choice of Dumfries and Ake. Going back for our former players is always a no for me.

In addition, Perisic and Bisouma transfer came too early; when we were still battling with Granovskia and administrative structure. So, i will implore you to take that away from your lips.

However, i strongly belief Cucurela is a quality player and addition for us.

Frenkie De Jong as well, he is a complete midfielder. Someone capable of bringing smooth transition in our play and neutralise midfield pressure. He is an expert in your usual phrase 'press resistant'.

Gvardiol, i cannot say much, but to a certain extent, a suitable addition.

Ibime:
Check the price on all these players. When you spend big money on a car, you must know the complaints on the car. Did they ban Chelsea from signing £13m Malacia, free Perisic or £28m Bissouma? Would complaints arise if a player is bought for £15m? One G man wants to spend £1 billion on defence alone, for players that are not International regulars and you expect us not to complain?

Those players are your own picks and nothing to substantiate they will come better.

Yes, there will be complain from various quarters if we go low as recommended by you. We will chastise Tuchel for not matching other big spenders and want to compete favourably. The narrative will be, is it his money, why the reluctance to spend?

I am as well surprised you wish for us another season long agony by suggesting staying put with tested failures Kennedy, Emerson and the likes.

Why have you chosen quantity over quality? Why?
