WhoDeyHause: I knew it. Very useless goalkeeper. Basket. Olosho boxers. Uefa should hurry up and also investigate how you people conceded just 9 goals in your useless league. Ter Useless.
Roland17: The reason I mentioned Maignan at Milan was to buttress his form going into the WC and I maintain you no sabi or watch Mike reach me even during his days at Lille. The one constant thing we know about that game was that it wasn't settled during or after 90 minutes neither was it settled in or after extra time but during PKs and the obvious difference between both teams when it mattered most was E. Martinez!
Argentina played 5 penalties in total, 1 during regular and 4 during the shootout and Kurubete was as good as a ghost in-between the sticks.. There is no shame in admitting goalkeeping was the difference when it mattered the most. When everything remained constant, France were short 1 when it went to PKs. Watch these PKs and tell me with a strong chest in this Ramadan season that France stood a chance with Kurubete!
Maignan did not need to be specialist to save some of those PK attempts, I mean it is right here.
Roland17: I won't allow this debate become an irresponsible, rigid and vertical argument centered on Messi because my thoughts about the greatness of the midget is well documented. So, if you are going to engage me about this debate, remove the Messi lenses and make holistic takes. Messi was not the only Argentine player that kicked a PK that could have been saved if Kurubete was not cursed with the diving prowess of a turtle and limbs of a dinosaur.
Also, you no sabi Maignan reach me, he plays for my Milan, I watch him every match day he is available so I know his prowess behind the sticks. Below was Maignan's most recent PK save against Depay on Friday, compare that to the nonsense curse Kurubete served me at the WC finals. While a fair argument can be made that Kurubete would have kept his place as the starter, Maignan would have been considered when PK cam by.
Both teams played their way to the finals and into PKs in the finals and the difference between both teams afterwards wasn't an outfield player...Goalkeeping decided the outcome of that game and we stood 0 chance with Kurubete in-between the sticks.
I have known miagnan from his Lille days because of victor osimhen ,maybe you started following him when he joined your club or before then ,not taking his qualities away from him ,he has being seria A best GK since Donnaruma left
If you feel France would have won the World Cup with him ,then no problem as you have your reasons
But as for me miagnan would have done nothing ,game might not even smell extra time for him to be able to save the so called Pks Kurubete couldn’t save
Using the save Kurubete made against Messi was just an example bro ,this isn’t really centered around Messi , how are you sure miagnan would have saved that ?
Kimbeast: Ake has been Manchester city best defender this season.
Everything I talk na hate and agenda against Chelsea because say ake na Chelsea former player
I even had to break it that he has been better than stones and Laporte this season but normally both players are better than him ,that one self still no agree with me
Even when I said aside Thiago Silva my guy still no gree with me
Argentina won the WC on penalties. The heroics of E. Martinez was the difference between France and Argentina after extra time.
So yes, Kurubete stinking up the joint during PKs with his short limbs was consequential for us. May those cursed limbs continue to disappear from his shoulders.
What makes you think miagnan would have saved that Messi late minute shot before they went extra time ?
I have known miagnan to be a decent Gk from his Lille days when I use to steam their game to watch Vincent osimhen
Before the World Cup we didn’t hear from any of the French fans saying deschamps should be starting miagnan ahead of lloris ,now 2 masterclass against Netherlands and Ireland ,we begin hear say if him Dey post Argentina for no win the World Cup
Normally self that final no suppose go extra time ,let alone pk shoot outs
Ihebu4chelsea: Safe to say T.Silva is better than all the Frauds in your defense Line! Ake is not even Guardiola's top choice in defense. Diaz. Akanji Laporte Stones are all ahead of him! Dont Let your hatred for chelsea Make you become stupid!
Speaking truth is not hatred ,ake is not better than laporte and stones for sure ,but he has been playing more minutes this season and has been impressive,nothing is hard there to comprehend ,he has perform better than all your cb recently aside Silva
Na my defenders be fraud but na you Dey battle relegation ,are you sure of conference league or Europa next season ?
There is a reason araujo is the second most valuable defender in the world behind Ruben Dias
Common sense is not common ,No be everything be hatred
Ihebu4chelsea: You still did not say any Ake's achievement. I know you are not intelligent shaa! That christensen Played for chelsea for over 10 years ( Loans included) So you dont know him more than us. Continue to dhe yarn dust!
You are asking for the achievements of a mancity player ,you should be happy I was being nice
I don’t want to call ake achievements because he was more of a squad player last season ,but this season he is better than all your cb aside Silva ,if e too pain you go nack your head for wall
So because say person play for your club 10 years means you know him better ,but badashile wey you no watch any of him game for Monaco self u know am better too
You where happy where I said Chelsea got better defenders than ake when they sold him ,But you are sad I said he is currently better than the ones you parade aside Silva
Double standards kill you there ,the truth is bitter
Ihebu4chelsea: What has Ake done in Football? Just point one thing or you shut up! Christensen is not even better than Badashile! So we can conclude Partey is better than Kante because of current form? Mumu. CLass is Permanent.
At least ake is doing better than fofana currently
Christensen not better than baba shile ,I don’t expect you to ehen speak anything good of Christensen, even we self Dey wonder which kind player we sign when una Dey speak bad of am talk say e Dey see period
You are a big fool ,is kante even playing currently to speak of his current form ?
I will take kante over partey any day anytime ,but dont be stupid to speak about current form for an injured player
Now let me point this ,I will take rodri and casemiro over kante as of recent ,but I rate kante ahead of both ,I don’t expect you to understand this logic because you are so foolish
Ihebu4chelsea: So this season is a yardstick to Measure Quality CBs? How's Ake better than Fofana? You are a disgrace to FCB Fans in Nigeria!! So because Injury dealt with Kante this season, It's safe to say romeo Lavia of southampton is better than him. Lemme ask you a question. Ake and Christensen Who's better?
None of them have been better than ake this season ,cry now cry tomorrow it doesn’t change anything ,maybe you didn’t see currently better
You will tell me what fofana has done in football to be currently rated higher than ake currently ,at least we can understand koulibally was class before he joined Chelsea ,but fofana ,what has he done in football abeg ,tell me something
Christensen is currently better than ake and has always been better than him
At least you saw where I said chelsea got better cb than him when they sold him ,you love that part but you hate the current truth
TheSuperNerd: Thank you ooo Andy. And Chukwueze is Osimhen's closest paddy in the team yet he spares him no scolding.
And yes, thank you for pointing this out. Osimhen does clap and gives a thumbs up most times even when his teammates play nonsense passes or misplace some efforts to find him. He applauds because he understands and sees their efforts to connect but now he talks to Zaidu and everyone complains?? Same Zaidu wey folks in here dey call for him head? Lol
Statistically, Zaidu was one of our better players on the day from a general POV but his crossing and the timing of his crosses left much to be desired. They were horrible.
Zaidu just like Mendy of Madrid ,they only know how to defend ,and that will keep him on the Porto team ,everything else about zaidu was poor ,maybe if Moses Simon was delivering good crosses we won’t be worried about zaidu
As for osimhen ,you can only critisize him a little about his offsides positioning ,he was decent for the rest things he did ,despite not being at his best ,I no really see how many clear chances osimhen get and he was so hardworking throughout the game
JohnBullMySon: Chukwueze is not even selfish. Even Osimhen missed a one-on-one set up solely by Chukwueze in the second half. 80% of left-footed wingers today will attempt that chance rather than lay a pass. My issue with him is that his conversion rate is too poor for the amount of chances he creates, the run was good, the footwork as well, but the finish poor AF. In that case he should just pass.
Taking that chance is usually what a winger would likely do, however if he hasn't improved on burying chances, he should not remind us of how poor his finishing can be.
TheSuperNerd: Who told you Messi hasn't shouted before? And so because Modric hardly talks, that is the leadership style that must be followed?
Leadership is done in different ways and not in the way that you want to box it into.
And bringing up Simon is funny. Same guy who frustrates even you and many fans in several games? He even missed one of the best 2 chances in Abuja. Why does he get to talk? 😂😂😂😂
The point remains that Osimhen has literally been the saviour of this team times without number and always gives his best. Always. So he has every right to demand more of his teammates. Simple.
And stop painting the false narrative that Osimhen does this "shouting" everytime. It is misleading.
And making mistakes like the 2 big chances he missed today which I literally already referenced doesn't make him any less of a leader and the biggest gun we have today in the Super Eagles.
Na only chukwueze I Dey see osimhen Dey complain for mostly
He do even clap most times if our guys pass nonsense pass
COOL10: Was I the only one who noticed a moment where it looked like Osimhen was criticizing Zaidu but Zaidu wasn't having it at all? He spoke back at Osimhen in an equally aggressive manner and Osimhen had to walk away
It was just before the break in transmission.
Zaidu is not that a bad player ,but he wasn’t impressive today at all
I won’t blame him ,man is always 54 and playing as a full back running up and down is very demanding
Even world class full backs like alba ,Marcelo slowed down at their 30s ,let alone a 54 year old aboki
