the last time Liverpool lost at home was April 2017.
Last time we lost in EPL was January this year to man city.
7 players were shortlisted for ballond'or.
We have won 23 of our last 24 EPL matches.
If this is not the definition of exception then what is?
If some people don't like your club, they'll look for all manner of featherweight evidence to back up their spurious claims

I have said this before.

Football has moved on dribbling, doing skills and show boating without end product amounts to NUTTIN.

Look at Man city, do you think Raheem, Gabriel and Sane can not do skills and dribble up and down. Try that too much and you would do it on the bench for ever.

Do you see Mahrez doing all those skills he use to do in Leicester anymore.

When l explain the things some think oh he hates Chukwueze and doesn't like Nigerian players.
This is one of the few times I agree with you to be honest

Eze is a better 10 than Ejaria in my opinion. Ejaria is a b2b midfielder like Aribo. I don't think he's creative enough... Skillful, strong, great ball carrier but not as creative as Eze.
Unless Rohr is planning on switching to a 4-3-3, we need both.
We don't need both

Tobias is very decent.... He is a very good goalkeeper I rate him better than Philip ejimadu
Classy? How?

How did he concede 23 goals in 12 appearances then? How? And he isn't even playing in a top league.

If not for dearth of options, how can we consider such a person?

oga forget sentiment tomori is way down the pecking order in the england team. he was just rushed to the team just to wade off our advances in capping him which he already accepted after meeting pinnick in london.

maguire,mings,stones,kane are all ahead of him in the england set up while tarkowski is far better than him
Kane isn't a defender

Once we get Ovie, Eze should forget playing under Rohr. Rohr himself said there is no turning back once you choose England over Naija. He has learnt from Tomori and tammy

safarigirl:
well, inane dribbles will have to matter in a goalless encounter.

You are talking as if Atletico scored 5 goals, when they had nothing. At least Chuks made the match worth watching for many people. He was trending at the top of the Twitter trends on a day Sowore was bundled from a court, Cardi B was in Naija (with Jidenna) and TheExperience was happening. So, many people rather enjoyed watching those inane dribbles

This may be hard for you to believe, but some people actually care about those inane dribbles
See safari, I have nothing against the lad. I even said in an earlier post that he needs to start scoring the goals himself. However, its better he starts scoring or assisting than been known as the dribbling attacker with no end product

Chuks is the one trending today for making Atletico players look like chickens tonight and his performance definitely spits on his 9th place rating in the Kopa Trophy for best U-21 players.... What a gem!

And ofcos La LIGA agrees... grin wink He was indeed everywhere today especially on that right and coming into the center as I saw on his game's heat-map.
Bros, they were even too kind to chukwueze for being 9th. What matters now in Soccer is goals and assists especially as a black man that has to prove himself as an attacker. All those dribble dribble hardly achieved anything for a world class okocha

To be sincere tbaba apart from what we have there is no other option better than iorfa

If rohr is to call a new defender then it should be iorfa and none else
But is Ekong not an older Iorfa?

All these out defenders wey no sabi pass ball sha??

Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho is still assessing his squad, having only been in the job for a couple of weeks, but Spurs continue to be linked with players.

Ruben Dias, Bruno Fernandes, Victor Osimhen... they have all been mentioned in connection to Spurs in recent weeks, but the latest link is one to a player who may not end up joining.

The Sun claim Tottenham were teeing up a £20million move for QPR playmaker Eberechi Eze, with Mauricio Pochettino pushing for a move.

However, it's claimed that Pochettino's exit may scupper a move, as Eze wanted to work for Pochetino, and now Chelsea and West Ham are in the race.

It's early days for Mourinho at Spurs, but letting Eze slip through Tottenham's net would be his first transfer mistake at the club, especially if he ends up with a London rival.

Eze, 21, has been sensational in the Championship this season with seven goals and four assists, and there's no doubt that he's set for a Premier League career.

He's quick and incredibly skilful, with his dribbling and technique exciting QPR fans whilst embarrassing Championship defenders, earning some comparisons to Wilfried Zaha.

With Christian Eriksen set to leave in 2020, it would be wise to bring in another creative player who can play out wide or centrally, and whilst he isn't a similar type of play to Eriksen, he can certainly help deal with his departure.


Mourinho is getting the best out of Dele Alli right now, another player who cut his teeth by starring in the Football League with skill and talent, and Eze could fit a similar kind of bill to the in-form midfielder.

Tottenham have missed out on Championship talents in the past that have come back to haunt them, such as David Brooks, James Maddison and Jack Grealish. With Eze previously keen on a move to Spurs, they can't let him slip through their fingers.

Seeing him join a London rival would be a huge disappointment, and Mourinho should be fighting to ensure he still wants a move to Tottenham – or risk giving Spurs something of a transfer mistake given what a huge future Eze has ahead of him.
If Kane isn't leaving for Madrid, let Osimhen stay where he is or leave to another club where he is guaranteed of playing time and not Tottenham. Daniel Levy will frown at benching Kane; form or not

Villarreal/Atletico: Fire Report... The Aftermath

As you all know, Samuel Chukwueze was on fire tonight.

Well, reports just coming in say the people over at the stadium are still trying to put out the fire Chuks left in his wake...

This is the scenario below... grin

#ManOnFire
I have nothing against you or what you typed. However, the truth is, they didn't get the win. Chukwueze had no goal or assist. These matter more than inane dribbles

you are right but barca is one team i won't near if i am a professional footballer. their style and philosophy is very difficult for players from other leagues/clubs to adapt to easily. this is the major reason why the likes of dembele,griezman,coutinho before he left just to mention a few looks lost and ordinary in barca games

madrid fans are not patient due to the history and pedigree they are known of in world football which tend to make them reject being 2nd best both in the league and ucl. players are pressured to perform and when it doesn't pan out they are discarded without looking back but to me madrid team is easy to break into than barca.

barca's philosophy and style goes beyond mere tactics
What of rakitic and frenkie?

Unpopular Opinion

The worst defender in the Super Eagles fold presently is William Troost Ekong.
Do you watch him regularly in his plays for Udinese to arrive at such conclusion? I don't that's why I'm asking

I'll be happy if Dominic Iorfa Jnr. is invited. He has always been a good player.

I saw a few of his games for Wolves in 2015 and I was impressed. Then he played as a right back. He has lots of energy, runs tirelessly, very mobile & fast with good recovery.

He also physically strong, has positional awareness and is not easily beaten. His crosses and passes were the only weaknesses I noticed then.

I havent watched him recently but if his recent stats are anything to go by, he deserves to be invited.

I have always wanted him in the Super Eagles fold but was only pissed he K-I-Ved us.
I think it was said here last week that his crosses and passes haven't improved. We don't really need another Ekong. We need more ball playing defenders

No, u are wrong here, what we have isn't sufficient enough. We should be looking to improve the team at every given opportunity. If Iorfa or anyone else comes in to prove better than what we already have, then the inferior one should step aside.


I am excited about the prospect of having Iorfa and I would also welcome any of the German boys. Nothing wrong with having a competitive large pool to keep each and every competitor on his toes.

athletico Madrid will be very possible...i think he was linked with a move sometimes last summer.
Athletico Madrid isn't a club for an attacking player. I'd rather Semi Ajayi or Ekong join them than a young Chukwueze. That their coach isn't an attacking coach at all
