AirBere: E be like say your eye sharp pass my own for Dejong matter oo. Thing about me is that, I give players their flowers when they do well. From what I saw Vs Newcastle, I thought he was quite good. I praised him that day sef but you insisted he was poor. It's surprising that despite the win you still saw flaws in his game which just shows how poor he is as an enforcer.
But again, it could be that Pedri playing next to him Vs Newcastle helped him perform. You know he's clueless and always need someone to hold his hands in the midfield.
#Fraud!
At times i no dey follow stats,if i can't feel you in a game na zero to me.
In as much as Peeps dey blame Kounde for that OG,his presence was felt.
Trevor012: De jong was Barca highest rated player yesterday. Why was Yamal in cucuruku pocket all through the match? Where was Fermin? All these rubbish players you keep on hyping that can only perform against eibar and Sevilla 😂😂
Highest Rated,but i saw Chelsea's Maresca more than i saw De Jong.
kingreign: By all means, import them, and use. I owe you no explanation and u have no need to continue discussing why you because of your rather haughty response. Experience is a teacher, and has been known to humble even the most adventurous.
Iqtest: This Frenkie de Jong hate is forced. We were totally outplayed by Chelsea last night. De Jong was the only midfielder who could actually keep hold of the ball, yet he’s still being blamed for the loss. Fermin was nowhere to be found, Kounde played terribly, and Ferran was basically 404. Yamal was average, but as usual, the non-Spaniards get made the scapegoats. Honestly, I was even relieved Rashford didn’t start
If Caicedo was silenced yesterday, you think you'll see Enzo?
kingreign: If motor fails on Abakiliki or Osun high way, body go tell am. E go tow am go back to his mechanic o.
The guy no sabi why many people dey hug petrol cars more than diesel cars. E think say na by wetin dey book, this country, alot of things defies normalcy and logical explanations.
Spoken like a "Typical Nigerian".
Heavy duty trucks and buses uses petrol too?
I still see VW TDI's,why is that?
I stated why people hug Petrol cars,na folks like you cause am.
If Davido buys a Diesel and hypes it, Peller buys one,B lord buys,young guys starts buying, Mechanics will start sourcing, it's a simple cycle...
There are little advantage Petrol cars have over Diesel,folks just believe diesel smokes and some how its crude to own, others prefer petrol engine revs and sound.
kingreign: You who have even been reading online articles and searching online should had known better, our diesel quality does NOT get to Euro3 levels of compliances. These cars are Euro 6.
You'd battle clogged diesel injections pumps endlessly and they are scarce and when you find them, they're extremely expensive. The ADblue are extremely scarce and expensive. Do not forget DPF filter also gers blocked overtime and to replace them, they are scarce and expensive. I had to abandon a W166 ML with a diesel engine for the owner after searching both in Abuja, Lagos, Onitsha and PH for just 1 single diesel injector. The owner eventually had to pay for brand new set from US. It was not cheap. Don't even get me started on how ridiculously simple a hilux and a mitsubishi L200 CRD diesel is, yet, they're complex to mechanics here .
There are reasons why most fleet owners do NOT go near Euro 5 diesel trucks in Nigeria, I can tell you because I'm a fleet manager that handles a number of organisations fleet too.
Dey play, I say, dey play!
I still insist, the god wey dey plan to do am for you, make e no do that type for me.
lack of technical know-how and 'follow-follow' syndrome made people scared of diesel here, hence the scarcity and expensive parts. Technically, these things can be prevented/repaired/maintained just like a petrol car,it's not rocket science as you're making it seem.
As for clogging, you just need a certain temperature to solve the DPF issues, which is achieved through sustained driving. I have already agreed they are expensive to source and I stated why; you just need to have cash.
I am looking at the benefits of diesel, which are massive compared to these potential problems. Some older diesel cars do not even have DPF systems, resulting in fewer issues. It appears you aren't aware Dangote has Euro 5 standard diesel...with time we'll get there. I would sacrifice enjoying more freeway runtimes and dealing with sourcing some parts (even if expensive) to enjoy a torquey, economical car that is reliable if well maintained and managed.
You involving God and doings implies you're part of the reasons people hardly buy diesel/Luxurious cars, just like y'all tell us not to buy any car except Corolla.
Peeps drive Vogue,Evoque,Urus,Jaguar...even in Naija here,human have diverse needs, we can't always like the same thing,so relax man.
Port443: Buying diesel engine here is a waste of money. It requires longer time to warm up and it only excels in highway drive (who drives highway in this insecure country?) Also carbon buildup will come in handy
It is just not worth it, yes, it will have torque but horsepower will be lacking (see the video below)
abduleez1: You get ...... This was what I was complaining about. Yamal wasn't interested in playing football yesterday and was more preoccupied with waiting for favourable ref calls, complaining and crying all over the pitch. He hardly tried to do anything. But that useless midfield will make you cry shege sha.... No feeding.... They couldn't even string two passes together without losiythe ball.
Outright shambolic. If Laporta likes his election campaign and knows what's good for him he better give Deco money and order him for sensible reinforcements this January.
Cos like this we can't win shit with this team. We need fresh blood and new mentality... Someone different from this crop of players that their mentality and ethics has been corrupted.
Stringing passes still dey pain me,even Burnley played better.
It shows we ain't dynamic,dem restrict mid-play,use your wing,na where Yamal,Ferran failed.
Infact going forward,if we no strengthen this team i fit switch support to Arsenal or Bayern this season for UCL,BP will never be my portion.
OkpaNsukkaisBae: Caceido is a monster. His energy level is at the highest level. U will see him do defensive work and before you open your eyes he's already in your box putting in across or cutting the ball back to Enzo.
Kilishihunter: Yes the league is poor but this is not a matter of laliga, Chelsea were just better than us and outclassed us tactically and personnel wise, PSG play in a league branded as a farmer's league yet they smashed every team from England till they fell to this same Chelsea in the club world cup bro, Bayern Munich also plays in a league that's mocked yet they are one of the best teams in the world so far, the problem is us, we have thrown away our mentality plus we might be not be as good as we think we are especially in defence and midfield once pedri is out, that's why we've been talking of spending, lamasia won't give you everything you need in this time of teams with excess cash buying talents groomed by different academies, we also need to let go of some players if we want to move forward, I suspect Flick may leave next season if we continue with these nonsense
Our board is the problem and thanks to Laliga(financially & psychologically)
See it like this: Psychology will take its place. When you play against kids, you think you are skillful until you play folks your own age or older.
La Liga has been poor this season, which is why Deco had the nerve to say "we are fine and no new players are needed". If we were in the EPL, languishing in 17th position, maybe the board will have a rethink. I hope you understand now.
PSG plays in a "farmers league," but they had an intensity that made them untouchable last season, and that intensity and class were visible even in the UCL. Bayern Munich also bought players to maintain competitiveness.
Compare that to us. We haven't beaten any major team so far, and we have no intensity. Yet, we will beat teams like Valladolid and Bilbao and feel we have arrived. That is the effect of a weak Laliga,and our board is buying into that false sense of arrival.
EPL teams do not need to worry, as their league automatically provides the necessary intensity. Therefore, they buy players based on how tough the league is, and that preparedness shows even in the UCL.
What I am saying is our board should judge us based on our UCL games rather than the league. If they assess our performance based on our shambolic displays in the UCL, the league will instantaneously become a walk in the park already.
abduleez1: Lmao...... If you watched this game and still believe even tho Ferran scored a goal it would have made a difference then you've been deceived or not paying much attention to this game.
Didn't you see that useless midfield. Fermin was gassed out in 30mins. De Jong is useless. Eric Garcia was almost killed with immense workload when the two were headless. Now add Kounde who doesn't know what to do with his legs.... And you have a full blown keg of gunpowder.
You'd still lose this game in shambolic fashion. Ferran Torres squandered the ONLY chance we ever created in the game, and that was very much within the first 10mins. What else did we do in the next 80mins? Nothing.
No attack, mo midfield whatsoever. No defence. .Yamal couldn't even operate well to do shit. Lewandowski was totally isolated and left padlocked and useless on the pitch.
Did the coach correct that with changing Fermin Lopez earlier on? No. The game needed ball winners because of the numerous school boy errors and losing possession. Wetin flick do.... Refused to bring in Casado.
Them dey say De Jong equates control. What sort of control did he brought to that midfield. He's totally overrated and an average player.
Then there's Araujo the most unfortunate player on earth with his own schemes....how do you survive this incompetence from the head down for the players. I've always said it, giving the guy the captain armband was an ill decision.
I too miss my Gavi. 😤
You ended up blaming everyone except Ferran.
Initial minutes,Ferran had chance to boost our moral/morale,what did he do with it,Guesss who was seen in our own-goal display?
I see peeps blaming highline,the highline literally saved us today.
The main issue was the "Mid-play",it was overwhelmed,and once you lose the midfield, na only accurate long balls fit save u, which we ain't good at either.
Add poor defending to the mix, I won't blame Lewy there was no connection from the Midfield.
Yamal was marked and needed another player to absorb some pressure (he's also clueless and lost),Ferran wasn't helping(another clueless and confused guy),Balde had to help him,Rashy(just there), Raph and Christen changed our game a bit.
Poor selection and La Liga's decline are the major culprits.
jpmoriarti: I can't blame Hansi Flick for starting Ferran Torres. He had an excellent game at the weekend, scoring 2 goals.
As a coach, you have to try to give him continuity. You have to show the team that good performance is rewarded.
It didn't work out as expected for Ferran tonight but I won't be so harsh on the coach.
I don't know why your takes annoy me at times. Chelsea ain't Bilbao and deead Laliga's team. Ferran is useless on the flank, and you've seen it a couple of times. Estêvão didn't start and was rested,that's a coach who knows his onion. Look at him firing on all cylinders. But go ahead, defend the trash. I see you avoiding discussing de Jong, too. You saw how Caicedo was bullying Fermin,et al...that's a proper defensive midfielder.
Like ehn,at a point the boy got triggered and started teaching Yamal how to dribble, imagine Yamal not finishing of a Cucu on yellow,same As Ferran a Gusto on Yellow was still balling.
Mehn we pampared Yamal a lot,kid use to take on anything without fear, these days he's more interested in his ego. I yelled when he kept looking at the Ref without any impact/input.
AirBere: Any big team you see Dejong starting except el classico in Laliga nah Ls. So any big game you see Dejong starting and no Pedri, go bet your car. You can't win it. No fcckin way lol.
I told you we go flog unà collect midfield if Dejong play. Midfield work is not about looking busy. 😂
I can recall seeing Eric's mask , Jong was ghosting.
What I don't understand is why Flicks underrate teams, and don't know his starting 11 yet.
If Pedri returns, let Jong join Olmo on daa bench Eric,Pedri, Fermin will do.
Kilishihunter: Truly nobody make mouth reach Chelsea fans. Some kind things I'm just seeing online before our match dey make put me in awe
There's a reason,Techu and myself included,want us to beat those resident noise makers...Man u defeated us in our last H2h, buh you'll hardly hear peem except during argument.But you see this ones, they'll remind you everyday how they defeated PSG and Barça.😂
Port443: It looks really cool and drives even better Sometimes, I think of where to go to, just to drive it, especially with the upgraded infotainmentsystem
Funny enough, it is a better cruiser than my RX, it only lacks ground clearance (its strength and same time, its greatest weakness )
You're forgetting all-round safety.
Yh,you have an Suv already,that model S60 cc would have solved your clearance issues.
