Hype giroud week


Fickle minded people

He's no Lewandowski, Suarez, Aguero, Vardy, Aubameyang but he's good at what he does. He's a winner, what's left for him is UCL and EPL

On Benzema's UCL records he's done it on several occasions even in finals where the stakes are high he performed well on the pitch. His goals may not be much but he's in the conversation for the most goals scored in UCL history alongside football greats like Raul, CR7, Nistelrooy, Messi, Del Piero, Drogba, Ronaldinho, Eto'o. Also, his assists and linkup play are outstanding.

Olivier Giroud-

- 2nd all time leading goalscorer for France, 7 behind Henry

- More UCL goals than Zidane & Ronaldo Nazario

- More PL goals than Ronaldo & Torres

- World Cup winner

Giroud has had one of the most under appreciated careers in recent times

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

“Whoever fights under a banner of folly, supporting Assabiyah (Tribalism, Nationalism) or getting angry for the sake of Assabiyah, he dies in a state of ignorance.”

Sunan Ibn Majah 3948

I'm not watching the game, how are the boys playing?

Umayr (radiyallahu anhu) narrated that the Prophet (sallalahu alayhi wa salaam) said: "The ruler will be brought forth on the Day of Judgement and placed on Hell's Bridge. The Bridge will shake violently such that all the joints of the ruler's body will be displaced. If he was obedient to Allah in his deeds, he will be safeguarded. However if he was disobedient to Allah in his actions, the Bridge shall crumble and he will fall into Hell the distance of fifty years." Umar (radiyallahu anhu) then asked if anyone would dare seek office after hearing this

What was lampard's attacking approach to yesterday's game? Some seem to opine that it was crossing?

In my prematch analysis on this thread I suggested we bypass Tottenham's midfielders by using long switches to the flanks and this was what Lampard did it was our inability to finish the chances created from crosses that cost us 3pts. Had Abraham connected well with James balls the plan would've been perfect

Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:

“I advise myself [first and foremost] and urge you all to always beseech Allāh for steadfastness upon faith and that you have fear, for beneath your feet are pitfalls. Therefore, if Allāh, the Almighty, the Majestic does not keep you steadfast, you will fall into destruction!”

Sharh al-Mumti’, 5/388 | Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him]

Translation: Authentic Quotes

Lampard vs Arteta:

Table: 3rd vs 14th
Goals: 22 vs 10
Clean sheets: 5 vs 3
Goal difference: +12 vs -2
Last two summer windows spending of clubs: £222m vs £221m

The gap is widening.

Obvious line up but Havertz for start sha, anyway make we sha win

You don't change a winning team during an important game to accommodate a player returning from sickness

as long as d north keep eating oyel money from Niger delta,,they won't realise d economic evil they are doing to dem selves....until D's country is restructured,,d north will not grow up

Those eating the oil money are the politicians across the various divides in this countryand their cronies and progress are being made in the North compared to what we are meant to believe. Are the politicians from the South not eating oil money? Stop making it a North vs South affair because an average Northerner is less concerned about crude oil proceeds, take a survey today and ask Northerners what do they want you'll find that majority wants a diversification and a less oil reliant economy.

lol.

Na who bring that thesis come here that time?

80% of management is emotional intelligence. If you like, know book like AVB, if you're not a good people's person you go flop. I saw Pirlo capping careless about Artur the other day, I thought he shouldn't have spoken about Artur to the press that way.

You're right in football management if you're not respective of your players they will rubbish your brilliant ideas and play drab football to get you the sack.

Line Up
Mendy

James Zouma Silva Chillwell

Kante
Mount Kovacic


Ziyech. Abraham Werner

Chelsea should bypass Tottenham's midfielders by using the long switches of Mount and Silva to find Ziyech/James and Werner/Chillwell in space with Mount and Kovacic covering for the fbs when they join in the attacks, playing through the middle will be suicidal because of the tenacity of Hojbjerg, Sissoko. If we take our chances we will win the game but if we are too casual in possession we will get hurt by the pace of Son and Regullion

It is good to acknowledge your benefactor.

I respect those who achieve(d) glory as underdogs, I know what it means to be an underdog/unknown and it's not an easy something nobody will give u a chance u will have to do it your own way. Maradona is the best to ever play the game even though I saw little to nothing of him

English hard no be small, now we are watching with relaxed mind.

Ibime:
During Scolari reign, Lampard was one of the only one scoring and finished the season with his obligatory 20 goals.

Unfortunately for your lies, Lampard was injured early in the first half in the UCL 2012/13 against Shakhtar Donetsk who your boy Mikel escorted toward a 2-1 victory and Lampard remained injured throughout the rest of UCL as your boy Mikel escorted Juventus to 3-0 victory. Let's also not forget the first game how Oscar put Chelsea 2-0 up until your boy Mikel gifted them the equaliser without which Chelsea would have qualified. So you see your lies won't travel far because your other favourite escort Mikel was the one who knocked us out of UCL while Lampard was injured.

You think you can come and lie here?

Off ya mic this is no rap battle

So Song and Mascherano 2 highly rated DM in the EPL were bought as backup to admire Busquets because they could not bench him

I have answered your question any further question is a distraction.

Godx:
Omo this your Shalaye is premium .

It is not a matter of shalaye football is a game of complex interaction and stats alone doesn't tell the true story always.

raumdeuter:
Instead of Busquets facing 11 players by himself

Yaya Toure Mascherano and Alex Song had to find other roles or simply exit the club

Yaya was more of a box-to-box midfielder and in Pep's system he had no role for him that was why he had problem with him at City also, Mascherano was signed as a backup player and when other defensive signings didn't work as expected he was deployed to cover for the position and he excelled just like how he used Martinez at Bayern and Kimmich, Song said that he was bought for the bench and he didn't mind because the paycheck was good. So your amalanomics won't work this time around

Godx:
Yes immediately Xavi finished carrying Busquet, Rakitic came in and carried him too . So how was Rakitic carrying Busquet?

His boundless energy, tenacity, passing, covered Busquet coupled with the attacking threat of Iniesta and MSN.

Godx:
The fact that Busquet won the Treble with Xavi being a bench player in the same season already rubbishes any argument that he can't perform without Xavi.

He had Rakitic and MSN

Debroslink:
So who was doing our defensive duties from midfield then? Was it Xavi or Iniesta?

An organized press did the job plus the offensive threat of Barca

Rodri is a system player and when you don't have players to cover their weaknesses your team will lose balance and become vulnerable during counters. Hojbjerg had a point to prove against Pep and he didn't fail this time around, Pep nearly ruined him by trying to turn him into a different midfielder during their time in Bayern, Pep admitted failing to turn him and Gotze to a different mould of players in Pep Confidential

Kante MOTM!

Lampard on Mason Mount: "Because he doesn't do step overs and flicks which maybe isn't as exciting for the modern fan. "

Melvyn11:
No wonder larride was frustrated yesterday. You guys can't actually read properly and understand anything.

Don't drag larr.ide into this when you maybe one of those behind the scenes sharing and liking the opposite views, I hate double-faced people who aren't stable like some radioactive elements with less than a second half-life.

Messi carry along? I would love to be carried along with his crazy stats. We can equally claim that his near-equal competitor is a carry along too because he was surrounded by good players
