Your 007 will soon be getting benched for Palmer in the national team. Southgate should bury his face in shame for not playing Palmer more at the Euros.

So England will win titles because of Palmer? Good expectation for his gargantuan talent.

Are we to expect Chelsea to win titles and at least finish top 2 (let me pity him)?

Those were the expectations for Foden and he is delivering.

airmark:
It's just like calling Ballon D'or a tinpot award because Owen won it and failed to subsequently shine.

I just didn't want him to escape from his 007, Jackson and Timbros triangle.

It is a tinpot award because it never really defines the great players.

Winning an EPL title as the player of the season though....some players can never relate.

airmark:
Leave tinpot, tinkettle or tincan and address the point that your 007 had just 1 goal more than the wasteful Jackson. Are you afraid of challenging Timbros and his Jackson?

Foden's stats are entirely from last season ALONE. That's why he won EPL player of the season.

You can compare the games played for Erling and Foden vs Palmer and Jackson. See if you learn a thing or two on analyzing stats.

drisham:
Even this player 😂

Like y'all didn't splash 60m on him the next summer

You're making my point for me. He is in Ipswich now. Telling.

airmark:
You wanted to type Android17 but it seems you have parkinson's and typed the wrong letters.


This is the player that has been carrying our team and not your wasteful Jackson, with no goal in 16 matches for Senegal.

Palmer - England Player of the year 2023/2024.

Trouble dey sleep.

What are you mentioning me for?
I hope it is not because of that tinpot award that even this player below has won? I just hope.

Sportsweb:
Nobody will sack a trophy winning coach.

Arsenal Fans will die to have everything Ten Hag has won at United

I agree with the spirit behind this and Tuchel himself agrees. He recently granted an interview where he stated that over his time in Bayern, Chelsea, Dortmund and Mainz, he'd concluded that winning trophies was the most important to a coaches' resume. ETH is proof of that statement.

I also do think Berrada wants to recreate a culture of security that United used to have. I think he does not want United to be viewed as a hire to fire club because even though it has generally worked at Chelsea, the data still shows that it is a like a house of cards: everything just falls once one part is broken and we can see the same at Chelsea.

Seems United are caught in 2 minds. Whether to be done with the horrid show that ETH's reign has been or wait like Arsenal did, to see the relative successes of Mikel Arteta. I'm happy I'm not looped into this mess because it is but I think ETH has run out of grace and should be fired.

timbros:
Rico and TAA is playing 8n the same league. The stat is based on the league BOTH of them are playing. Did De Lima played in EPL? Wetin concern UCL goals in Foden dropping 0 goals 0 assist in EPL?

You're talking off point and my chagrin is, you don't even realize it.

The fact that Rico and TAA play in the same league is inconsequential. I could have used the same stat if it had Hakimi for e.g. The point there will be, Rico can't be a fraud if he is doing something tangible for his team to the same level or better than a world class player like Hakimi. That's all.

It seems you are struggling to comprehend that the statement was Foden is a fraud - not Foden is a fraud in the EPL - another weak attempt at turning Amala by the way!

timbros:
You are comparing both. For you to bring one person's goal tally side by side with another person's is comparison.

And you had to use another competition entirely different from the discourse on ground to drive your point home? Which kind of nonsense is that?

Mehn, I'm seriously disappointed. This is piss poor reasoning.

If someone says Miroslav Klose is a fraud. I can bring his world cup stats showing he has more world cup goals than Pele and Maradona.

That does not mean I am comparing him to them since it is my response to him being called a fraud. Not "who is better between Klose and Pele or Maradona".

You need to wake TF up. You're better than this.

timbros:
Amala for an example I made by myself? Are you okay like this?

Did the person that made that covid comment said Foden is fraud in UCL? Was the discussion based on UCL? Why can't you look for an EPL stat to work with instead of insulting a legend?

Stop being obtuse. The statement was Foden is a fraud - you ignored it to start chatting wass about COVID comment.

Also, what nonsense are you talking about EPL stat? The person just blanketly said "Foden is a fraud". I can use ANY stats including the world cup if it helped his case.

I'm just getting increasingly disappointed by your feeble line of reasoning.

DeeScan:
It all boils down to slot's tactics .. TAA under klopp would've racked up assists already ...

We do more of passing around and slow build up play than klopp's direct heavy metal play ..


Put TAA in than city squad and he'd have more or equal of that Rico's number already..

Like I said, I'm not comparing them. TAA is better.

But if someone called Rico a fraud, I can use this stat to defend him.

Leyqute:
Based on that mentality, Charlie McNeil is a bigger talent than Foden. Hes singlehandedly dragging Everton along while Foden can’t even get a starting shirt.

McNeil - 3 goals + 2 assists
Foden - 0 goals, 0 assists

Yahoo boy pro max

LOL. Foden has not started the season well so I'm not defending him based on what he has played this season.

I'm defending him based on his antecedents.

Seems people forget the City routine every season.

We start slowly and then ramp up by the turn of the next year. Foden's performances will peak when City's peaks. Till then, y'all can call him names. It is allowed.

This does not mean I'm comparing Rico to TAA.

It could have meant that without any context - if I just posted this image. However, if someone says Rico is a fraud, I can post the below and say "This guy?".

It simply means, a player who has assisted more goals than TAA this season is not a fraud. It does not mean I'm saying he is better than TAA. The context is, I'm defending him from being a fraud.

timbros:
If no be Gen Z wey carry G/A for head instead of looking at overall play, why will one even think of typing the name Foden beside De Lima?

I'm not statmuse. I did not compare Foden to De Lima.

I showed that a player who has more UCL goals than El Fenomeno cannot be a fraud.

It does not mean I'm comparing Foden to Delima.

Leyqute:
Yes.

If you said that, you’d be using selective comparison as a tool to bolster your Haaland agenda.

If Haaland had more assists than KDB (or Foden for that matter), would you mention them to prove your point ?

Yes I will, because the context is to show HE DOES MORE THAN SCORING. Not that he is being compared DIRECTLY to any of those players.

timbros:
The context is EPL. Leicester.

Did Lewandowski play in EPL? What has World Cup goal has to do with Musa form in EPL?

Someone mentioned how Foden is a fraud for dropping another 0 goal 0 assist in EPL and the first thing that comes into your mind is dropping his UCL goals in comparison to Ronaldo. Wow!

The context is Ahmed Musa IS A FRAUD. Stop turning amala that you are not even skilled at turning. The statement was Foden is a fraud.

Once you call a player a fraud, anyone defending him can bring any data from any competition that negates that opinion. It is irrelevant if you think it will suffice.

Like Swiz123 said, that's just common sense.

Leyqute:
Android is often extreme. See how he just casually rolled out the stat, as if it would erase how hard Foden suckked in games. Comparing him with DeLima who scored in World Cup finals for fun is just something else

I don't know if you're being mischievous or you truly believe what you are saying.

I've always categorized you as someone with better understanding than the average nairalander.

If someone says apart from scoring, Erling does nothing and I bring a stat showing he has more assists than Bruno this season, does that mean I am comparing him to Bruno?

timbros:
"This guy?" showing a stat completely different from the competition under discussion. Talk about context.

What will your response be if we were talking about Ahmed Musa in his Leicester days and I pull out something like this...

World Cup goals

Ahmed Musa.... 4
Lewandowski.... 2

How will you look at me?

If the statement is Ahmed Musa is a fraud and you cite this to defend him I'll know that you're saying he is not a fraud if he has done something a great player like Lewandowski has not done.

The context is, Ahmed is a fraud not who is the better player.

timbros:
Was the covid comment you responded about UCL? You were talking about context. What is it that brought De Lima into an EPL discussion?

That Foden is a fraud.

My response was "This guy?"

Like saying, this guy might be having some drab performances but he is not a fraud --> see his credentials.

timbros:
Is that comparison or not?

If I show that Haaland has 42 UCL goals and Del Piero has 41 in response to a comment calling Haaland a fraud,

Does that mean I'm comparing Haaland vs Del Piero or am I showing that Erling's 42 goals must be a big deal since he has 1 more than Del Piero (that many regard as a UCL legend)?

timbros:
Isn't that comparison?

The comparison is between being a fraud vs not being a fraud. Ronaldo's UCL stat is to give context to Foden's.

It is not Foden vs Ronaldo.

timbros:
What is the post doing?

That Foden is not a fraud since he has done something that the great Ronaldo did not do.

timbros:
Really? Foden vs De Lima? Really?!!

Wetin dey worry all this Gen Z sef? Foden and De Lima in one sentence....! Na wao

That's not what the post is doing. Y'all should pipe down.

Sportsweb:
Na COVID or Malaria de sick am?

Your man is fraud 😭

This guy?

Altern8tor:
Haaland is there to score na... they can give him assist

No KdB, then nobody will look out for Haaland. We barely created anything for him.

This international break has come at the right time.

Godx:
Pep starting Grealish who hasn't scored in 2024 and Bernardo on the wings who hasn't scored in 20games is starting to annoy me. Two non threatening wingers with zero goal threats or dribbles.

I can understand Grealish but not Bernardo that cannot cross, beat his man in the wings or shoot.

Pep is playing favorites. Trying to force Bernardo and Gundo back into full match fitness at the expense of the team. Probably with long-term goals in mind but it sucks to watch it now. So frustrating.

Leyqute:
Why? Because he’s asss

Because he did not train for 2 months due to illness.

Leyqute:
Generational talent Foden off with zero goals and assists once more

What about Jude? Foden has barely played a total of 120 mins in the EPL this season.

StarchAndBanga:
You still didn't answer the question..

How many penalties?

#SimpleSturve

LordAdam16:
Do you have a link to the letter.
Not someone reporting on what was written in the letter.
But the actual letter in its entirety with something nearing evidence it was written in the 19th century.

There is a limit to the conspiracy theories I take seriously.
I try not to waste my time on anything that could potentially have been put together by a neckbeard in a basement in Arkansas in between a pack of beer and some ribs.

-Lord

I think it is from his book in 1891 or so (not sure) called 'Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry'.

raumdeuter:
If he was in Chelsea, will he take penalties over Palmer?

Please help me ask him. I only asked how many of the goals were penalties, baba just went off on a tangent.

WhoDeyHause:
Because of slovan brasshfokfddclkfklnfglse?

LMAO. Nah. He played well in his cameo against Newcastle and it looks like he has taken another step again today. His movements and decision-making were top notch and everything about him builds from that.

airmark:
Guirassy - 5 goals in last 4 matches for Dortmund.

Season doesn't end in September, for those questioning his talent last month.

How many penalties?
