It's very clear you had an ulterior motive. you wanted us to discontinue our discussion on Pep. Do you want us to talk about Klopp?

Go siddon , jare. 80% of his post are 100% Euro news that has got nothing to do with our players. Another thing about Joseph is his Pep Guadiola praise singing....jeez, Pep don't like black Africans even the real ballers amongst them. He humiliated Eto and Yaya.....It hurts my soul deeply. I hate racist pigs because I was a victim of America's racial injustice

I think we did alright today. But Ole needs to stop being loyal to Man Utd youth players. If they fail sit them down. If he continues this way it will be his undoing. He still has some learning to do though. Maguire is overrated. As someone suggested Rashford needs to concentrate on social stuffs full time.
Ole should have subbed Williams and Rashford out earlier.

@TheGoodJoe, ofcourse i don't think you are joking. Hold onto your offensive/possessive strategy, while others hold onto their defensive strategy. And don't tell us the former is superior to the latter, that's what i have a problem with, cos the only sure way to measure superiority, which could be momentary, is by winning. So from time to time if a less talented defensive team beats a far more talented offensive team i'll bring it to your notice. grin. I think we should just leave it here. One policeman is roaming the area. grin. He says we are derailing the thread and that's well taken.
TheGoodJoe:
The problem is that you think I am joking or playing games. I love City but I believe in playing football the possessive and offensive way. One person that increased my belief in it is Guardiola. I want him not to have that mentality.

So losing is taking in good faith. If we learn from it, it is a win situation.

Consoled with the fact that Rudi Garcia is going to the semi finals. Also Lyon. Not all that a sad story for me a footie fan.

Excellent point. I'll admit i am culprit as well grin. But you too post content na, we go comment. But honestly we are not discussing the NPFL cos it's quite substandard. Sad but true. We'll do better. Calm down. grin.
IDENNAA:
This thread has been derailed and it's very sad and so disrespectful. You guys are European soccer addicts and I am not that why I visit this place to engage in discussions that deliberate on Nigeria football.

You guys could still take your discussions to European football threads but you chose to bring it here and enjoys our audience while the clubs you support has open thread and nobody visits them because you guys are not real fans. I create threads for European clubs and you can go there and slug it out.

For the past one week , most of you have been bombarding us with materials we dont need. It's painful and I will start reporting you and have you banned. This thread is for Nigeria soccer and related news. No ffucking Nigerian plays for Chelsea , Bayern Munich , Barcelona , PSG etc but you invaded our little space and turned it into European soccer trash can.

You lost. It's as simple as that. You could hypothesize on what Guardiola was thinking or what he was not thinking? Oya. Story Story, Story. grin. You are not even ashamed of your takes. Which one be, "there's a big part of joy for them to", at whose expense?
[quote author=TheGoodJoe post=92879677]
I think misconception is regular when it concerns my comments. Maybe due to ideas people have created around me.
You too want us to know you do know some of the players that have featured for Lyon over the years. You have a very good memory too. Clap for yourself @GoodJoe. Clap for yourself. Very impressive. grin
I am proud of Lyon. I have loved them since the time of Ben Arfa and Benzema. For Christ sake, even though we lost, there is a big part of joy for them too.

I also am a huge fan of Rudi Garcia from when he was coaching Hazard and Gervinho in Lille. So I am okay losing.
.

It seems you could do better than Guardiola. How about you go and get a license. And perhaps you may have learned one or two things as i suggested earlier. Playing a defensive game is not as easy as you guys think. He chose to play a slightly defensive game and he got a kick to his balls. grin. A defensive stategy abi na tactics you dey call am cheesy is indeed an art and some have mastered it.
I also believe Guardiola made a big mess of the Match because he has made us a fan of playing on the full offensive. We have literally done it all the time he was here.
Why he tinkered with the formation to play 3 central defenders and two dmfs remains a mystery and disappointing.

For that alone, I think we deserve to lose the game to kill that orientation growing in his mind.

Aren't you ashamed of this point my friend? Aren't you? Guardiola was scared? Are you kidding me? I'll agree with this point though. He did mess it up starting with that formation, but he reversed most of it when Mahrez was brough in the the 56th minute, in which case DeBruyne falls back into a midflield of 3 with Mahrez and Sterling on the flanks. So there was still a lot of time to nail Lyon. Perhaps his offnesive game must be on fo 90 minutes to work. grin
My take, Guardiola was scared of Bayern Munich after they destroyed his beloved Barcelona in such manner. The last thing he wanted was to get something similar and was testing a defensive tweak he would approach the Bayern game and it backfired.
Well well, this age old excuse again. I'll give you the second. There was a foul on Laporte in the build up. But how did Ederson fumble the third? You could have put the game to bed early on like Bayern did.
So I am not bitter that we lost. I am bitter that the referee and VAR officials decided to carryout such a corrupt act by allowing an illegitimate goal stand.
Take your loss in good grace and do better next time. grin
This needs to stop because it is ruining the beauty of the game. The target of Manchester City needs to stop. It is so unfair.

Point of correction i am not one of those who considers Messi overrated. As far as i am concerned i'll take him over Ronaldo any day. He's the GOAT based on what i've seen. We are discussing coaches anyway, so bringing players into the discussion is quite unnecessary. The criteria for judging players, at least generally is different from that of coaches. Besides we all know De Lima's career could have been much more spectacular barring the injuries, so i odn't know why you brough that up. You just want us to know that you have been watching football for a while? grin Well you are not the only one.
Besides it's not about what you want, but more of what you can do. Majority of clubs cannot afford to pay him and also get him the hundred of millions of dollars in budget he needs every year. grin. Just a note bro.
barackodam:
The way you people dey take share this "overrated" tag.

He's the most decorated manager in Europe, probably the world, but he's overrated.

That's right....

Messi is overrated for not leaving la liga also, he's overrated for not winning with Argentina.

De Lima is overrated for not winning UCL also.

Bla bla bla.

Make we hear word biko.

He's overrated, yet, all of your clubs would scramble to sign him the moment he's up for grabs.

Overrated indeed

I am sorry Man, you just mentioned my favourite, Sir Alex. You don forget say i be Man Utd fan. It's a good thing with all you failings you recognize greatness. Good thing. grin. He's definitely second behind Sir Alex for the number of major trophies won. But we can fairly say his first few were handed to him on a platter. For the others he kind of bought them. grin

You can’t take away his 2 champions league from him and you can’t remove him from one of the greatest ever only behind sir Alex Ferguson

2 champions league courtesy of arguably the greatest midfield ever assembled. Honestly, his teams at Bayern and now at Man City have been largely underwhelming in the champions league. That's my point. Fair enough we can't take away those two champions league from him. You do need very good players to win. So if you win with a team perhaps consisting of multiple generational talents, how about you do it with a fairly talented side against Lyon? I have been on the fence on this "Guardiola is a fraud thing" grin but now i do think he's is a tad overrated.
andrewbaba44:
He has 2 champions league and many achievement ,many coaches will pray to have what he has achieve and they might not have it till they end their coaching career so it’s painful cheesy

It’s not easy to use the goat to win the champions league as you have seen how Barca could not utilize that since ,take a clue from last season bottling

Guardiola has 2 champions league and you can’t take it away from him

All English teams are out just as the Spanish so there will be no noise grin

Come next season laliga will still be rated the best league in the world

Nobody should come and insult the French league here anymore ,as a 7th place team from France best one of the most feared English team grin

I sincerely hope this is just another flippant internet comment. I sincerely hope this is not what you believe. The last time i checked the ultimate purpose of participating in this tournaments is to win, at least for the top teams. The man spent 100 of millions only to get outlasted by a less talented Lyon.

Excuses upon excuses. If you had played your normal game? Man, where do you come from en? What does that even mean? You got undone by a less talented Lyon team. Such an overrated gaffer in Guardiola. He was handed a fairly easy match up and he fumbled it. Shaking my head at your unnecessary attention to details.
TheGoodJoe:
Very precise.

I did not even take note of the foul but as for the offside, the player was definitely interfering with play. If the ball went in front of him, it could be allowed but stepping over the ball is offside and Dembele fouled Laporte. No two ways about it.

The fact is that if we played our normal game, this would have been a routine win. Guardiola also let us down.

“Surely he can’t give that!” exclaimed Steve McManaman on BT Sport commentary.


“I was very surprised the contact wasn’t given as a foul, especially as the consequences were the player who instigated that potential foul went on to score the goal. He had a material impact in that decision – so I am surprised that wasn’t given as a foul.”
