klopp is the greatest coach ever and only his method should be use as the basis to validate your argument cheesy

stop capping nonsense it was klopp's reliance on that singular formation that almost ruined their season
I compared klopp to tuchel cos we are facing the same woes he faced last season he even had to play fabinho in the CB role...his attackers were very sharp but defensively he has nothing to write home about, yet he didn't even change his formation for once if we perhaps change the formation to a 4 man defense no be this same Alonso go still play, shey RLC and Saul no go play too, we are not playing very well it not because of the lack of tactical astuteness but because of the fact of most of the players are not in-form.

change the formation, did they use it to swear for him?
Dumbass they don't change formation just like that. How many times do you see kloopp change his formation cos of a injuries, you're just talking as if we have that kind of depth in the squad,if he changes the formations today the same crop of player that are playing today will still play even the performance is gonna be worse, at least the match is still goalless let's keep our fingers crossed.

Just very few of you don't exhibit the bitterpill character,majority of you are so bitter and still not redpilled.It may interest you to know that bitter men are the easiest to manipulate if been handled by a wise and cunning woman. The hardest of men are the calm and collected ones with very sound communication and interactive skills, you can hardly have your way with these set of men,they end up subduing you into total submission after exhausting all your manipulative skills as a woman, but those of you with very bitter and aggressive habits are the easiest to manipulate, just make them a figure head while you lay low and manipulate the hell out of him,he'll never realize he's under any manipulation because you are never going to challenge his bitterness and aggression else he becomes very alert and unnecessarily sensitive. So far, so good,the only true nairaland redpillers that can give the greatest manipulative woman a hard time are (1) ubunja(only very few women who ties their wrapper to the right instead of the normal left would succeed with this one) (2) Bloodysperm(he's very unpredictable). (3) CaveAdullam(you can hardly know where to grab him,he's too alert and overly conscious). The rest of you are no stress,you just haven't met your match.

Chelsea press conference LIVE: Thomas Tuchel on Watford, Ballon d'Or, Lukaku, Kante and Kovacic

Do your forwards need to do more?



They try hard. Their contribution to the high press is immense, we can see that in the data. So maybe they don't arrive full relaxed, maybe the breathe hard and that costs us some precision. But we have scored many goals before.

It's a good sign that we are not happy with a draw against Man United. They have the quality to score for us. It's for us to bring them into positions that it's possible for them to score and to do this as often as possible.



Enough cover at left wing-back?


We have Marcos, who started the season for us when Chilly was in a bit of trouble and more difficult moment. We trust him, won Premier League games with him. He is very experienced. We have two specialists for one position, both play for their national teams, and it can be very hard for them as they compete for one position.

Suddenly, if one has a longer injury like Ben, it can seem like we don't have enough. Can Marcos play eight matches every three days, is that possible? Maybe not. Callum can play on the left side as a wing-back and we have some other ideas we have to try.



Tuchel on the Club World Cup


Mendy and Hakim will be back as I understand it, even if they reach the final. "t's in February, we still have December and January to play. I don't break my head about it. My focus is on Watford, my team selection and rotation.


Did you expect Lewandowski to win?

I take my rights to not have an opinion on this one.


How big a motivation is the Ballon d'Or?

For me, personally, not so much because I have huge doubts about individual awards in this game. It's a team effort, not one single player can win a match of football. It's not possible.



What do you know of Ranieri and what do you expect?

We see a difference in data and the style of the games. They play with more confidence and try to implement high pressing. They had a great result against Man United and try to play with emotion, get the crowd behind them. We see this.

Claudio Ranieri speaks for himself. He had so many clubs, such an expereinced coach. It will be the first time i play against him.



How do you handle the schedule?

It will be challenging but it will be challenging before. We don't change our routine. We have tight communication with the medical and fitness department and we tried to predict the load, look at who is overloaded and underloaded, and from there we see what we need in the next games. We still take it step by step, if you look too far ahead you will see there are tough weeks coming. That is why we focus on the details, the next game, maybe on the next two games where we can rely on our predictions because we have fantastic support from everybody. It's on the players to be strong in the games but to take recovery very seriously. We have to be very good in recovery and sleeping, taking the right food and supplements to help us recover. Our style is intense and needs to be to have a certain mentality and identity on the pitch. This is what we want. We are not scared to rotate, we just the whole squad.


Ballon d'Or awards

It's a nice award. It's a team effort if you're successful. All the men's and women's players deserved to be on that list. If individuals shine, it's because of a team effort. We have a strong academy, strong women's team, and we want to be a strong part of this club. So credit to the owner and everyone in charge."


Latest team news

Romelu is easy. He came on and continues to train. No reaction from his ankle. He is ready to progress in minutes. For sure out is Chilly, Kova and N'Golo. We have some doubts of players, more time and examinations. Reece James, Jorgi and Timo. They all trained today but there will be some last minute decisions.

You called Copa America a Mickey mouse competition grin grin because they have two major contenders LMAO if we are to go by logic it just like saying la liga is a Mickey mouse league cos real Madrid and Barcelona are the major contenders does that sound logical to you grin grin... leaving Brazil and Argentina out of argument Columbia and Uruguay are ranked higher in FIFA ranking than Senegal ( best team in Africa) Peru and Chile are ranked higher than Nigeria in this latest FIFA ranking grin

Klop said Afcon is a small competition but here some still tried to tell us that the journalist who questioned Klop didnt understand English......pls can Klop tagged Euro cup small competition?capital NO....rating a player just cos of euro and forgetting that the other is an African,why not champions league both participated in.

Even if Afcon was played this year and Mendy had a great tourney Donaraunma would still been given the best goalkeeper.
Agreed with all you said let's be very honest with ourselves let's keep emotions out of this ...is AFCON not a small tournament ? can you compare AFCON with euros and Copa America grin we still have the woes of poor infrastructure and good sporting facility most Africa country cannot even boast of FIFA approved pitch we can see the rice field and cassava field most of our matches are played on lets me not talk about poor officiating...this is not about klopp alone this is the way most European view this competition. You see the corruption in CAF has lead to zero productivity and retarded sport growth in Africa it such a shame we still don't have world class stadium most of the country even in eastern Europe have world class stadiums �️ not 1 not 2 sef, yet here we still as a normal thing they're even contemplating on playing the AFCON in Qatar, imagine an Africa tournament played outside the continent.

Tactical scouts assess the matches of upcoming opponents of the club and prepare dossiers for their teams' tactical preparations. Instead of identifying talent in these matches, the scout assesses the team and each individual player to identify the relative tactical threats and weaknesses in the opposition.


This was from you. Not me and I asked, does Adelakun have a coaching badge for this role? If you don't have a coaching badge, it is hard to hold such a role for a national team like Nigeria.
Good
I said I quote

Tactical scouts assess the matches of upcoming opponents of the club and prepare dossiers for their teams' tactical preparations. Instead of identifying talent in these matches, the scout assesses the team and each individual player to identify the relative tactical threats and weaknesses in the opposition.

@ d bolded you don't need to be tactical astute for you to be able to prepare dossiers and identify individual players threat and team weaknesses you only need basic tactical knowledge
We do it here most times and somehow our assertion are sometimes correct...we don't need to have a coaching badge to point out individual threat or tactical weakness of a particular team you just need sufficient Intels or information of this particular team.

Abeg, make una come see Mendy vs. Donnaruma stats for 2021
The whole prejudice against Mendy was due to the 2 penalty donnaruma saved during the Euro and also he was the tournament player of the year. I think it a lil bit unfair to Mendy sentimentally but from a logical point of view donnaruma deserves it.

I am glad we have reached a common ground. Video analysis is deep. Very very. Now it is even digital analysis. Not just videos. There are loads of softwares to know and merge. It reached a climax in the Brazil Germany 1-7 thrashing. The analysis was pure software base.

I repeat Adelakun was just shoved there. I am yet to see a qualification.

It is hard to even coach an academy without a coaching badge, let alone be a video analyst without one.

Nabil trabelsi is the video analyst and he has a uefa A license, tunde on this other is the head of scout and technical staff welfare manager and also Jean luc ( the fitness coach ) all this three dude are rohr's staff.

I am asking why Adelakun is in that position if it is not a fraud. You are telling me about video analysis. For Christ sake, Van Gaal is 1996. That is when we were talking video analysis. That is old school. Now there are softwares that break these down. You can not teach me that.
