Meanwhile, dem say Sancho na just Odoi wey go law school

Amoto94:
Thiago Silva has extended his contract with Chelsea by a season.

Nice one, amidst all this CB contract wahala.

Abort the mission of watching that movie, I have been staring at the screen trying to figure what this film is about.
I am in pains

Sorry you had to go through that

You took one for the team

donjazet:
I do agree that we need a new central midfielder.
A midfielder with vision and shot power. Someone in the mould of Xabi alonso.
Jorginho is our best passer, by that I don't mean by volume of passes made but by the quality of the passes. Jorginho passes the ball better than fabinho, rodri, hojberg. His passes are usually accurate and he has good vision, maybe like 75% compared to fabregas who was like 90%. Kante and kovacic are like 55%. They are terrible at passes which is why they prefer to drive and they do that well, but this is why they cannot play as a DM. They can only play centrally.

Kovacic 55%? Are you sure?

Baba Don J

Believe me I have no desire to pull down or elevate one player at the expense if the other - even if I have my favorites.

I know why I asked the question. There's been question marks about whether those two will make a good partnership, and oga User09 has been one of the most vocal monikers in that regard, so I asked him what he made of Kante and Kova's partnership in the middle, considering his fears, and considering the opposition we faced - the gengen pressing masters themselves.

But thanks for your own input.

I missed a good chunk of the game; principal reason for the question.

User09:
Do you mean today or generally?

I mean today.

User09

Your thoughts on the Kante - Kova midfield combo?

I know you have strong reservations about it - and have been very vocal about those reservations - so I want to know what you think of their performance.

And would it have been better with J5 in place of any of them?

Seems we actually had more possession for most of the game.

I'm surprised.

OJURONGBE1:
I'm coming for you

I remember during 'pool's 2-2 draw with Man City, when you were wishing that we take the same kind of approach both teams took to that game, going toe to toe with each other.

I guess you were entertained today

I'm glad Chalobah recovered really well from his early mistake. Some people were already seizing the opportunity to gloat.

Meanwhile, I like what I'm hearing and reading about Kovacic.

TheCassanova, my oga, your thoughts?

Game of the season contender from what I'm reading.

Gonna watch it in full once I get the chance.

donstan18:
Omo this keeper good oo

Caomhin Kelleher

Dude is good

fredoooooo:
He hasn't, what's he doing on the floor the last atta k on him ... he need to man up ...

Game on finger crossed ... we die here

The one where he stopped Jota? He stopped an attack and won a free kick nau

I missed a good chunk of the first half, reason why I'm asking.

It seems Chalobah has recovered well from that his error.

We're level?

Ah

Kovacic scored?

Chai, I bin no dey watch again oh

Na wa

Our players need to dey calm down, especially in front of goal

That Alonso chance, you could see Tuchel practically praying that he calms down rather than shoot, as if he knew what was about to happen.

chrisooblog:
Naija Christmas is okish. Not winning any movie awards anytime soon but it will do.

chrisooblog:
Unless you want to watch it sentimentally to support the Nigerian movie industry, it will be an absolute waste of data.

Thanks chief. Guess I won't be seeing Chief Daddy anytime soon. May check out Naija Christmas later.

Theuniverse:
as i have said before, liverpool go clear our doubt today, so you people better watch this match without any expectation from us. except tuchel changes tactics today to close down that midfield, that idiot jorginho will be his downfall today, imagine jorginho as dm today. salah,mane,firminho go show us the way 2day. we think say na brighton wey dey shoot over we jam today, so make ona go sit down dey count how many we go chop 2day.

Minister for today affairs

iamoyindamola:
It's on my list, but I went for naija Christmas hopefully I may watch it tomorrow part 1 was fine a lil
Naija movies no they ginger me watch sha, someone once said before watching naija films just remove any sense of reasoning and be on their level

The reviews I saw on a thread on NL front page don dissuade me. Since I haven't watched part 1, I won't even bother.

How the Naija Christmas?

Havertz10:
even germans will tell you that he always brings his A game at the business end of the season, i think its because he is young and still growing into his body but if something is at stake, havertz will perform.

Abeg our season is at stake as we speak. The business end of the season has come early. Every game counts now, before we use play take comot from top four.

I don't expect much from him as he's just coming back from injury, but I hope he delivers a solid - if unspectacular - performance if called upon.

Be like I no go bother check out this Chief Daddy 2 movie...the reviews I'm seeing are some of the worst I've ever seen.

I no even watch part 1 sef

Havertz10:
tuchel should stake his career on havertz and demand that he performs at his peak today, havertz can singlehandedly win this game for us, i'm not joking, you guys dont know the talent in that boy whenever he choses to exert himself, he is unplayable

So he chooses when to exert himself? Meaning he intentionally starves us of his ingenuity?

O wrong nau

Hoping for a win, but not expecting anything. We're in a bad way right now, so I can't say I'm confident we'll get a good result.

It's not the despair, it's the hope that kills.

Theuniverse:
baggy jeans and timberland player that scored our last 2 games abi,. truely lukaku was right. this is conte and costa clash all over again how did that end, make tuchel try am next game again, dat time we go see if him go fit bring 90million buy player.

So because Lukaku cost 90m+, Tuchel should give him a pat on the back and continue to play him despite all the things he said, and the negativity it has generated.

What kind of message would you as a manager be sending to the rest of your squad if you condone such things as what Lukaku has done?

Nailed back to back buzzer beaters in consecutive nights; the first time ever.

Highest number of 4th quarter points and points per minute.

King of the 4th

Ibime:
Arsenal is our competition, not Man City. I am happy with the result jor.

A glass half-full perspective.

It pains to see City running away with yet another title, but we have to face the reality. As it is, we have to be more concerned about the chasing pack. I just hoped something unexpected would happen today.

That's fvcked up man

Just look at this nonsense

BikeMan:
Very useless penalty. A dive in my books.

See eh, Silva throws himself to the ground at thee end, I feel so too.

But that was too reckless from Xhaka nau. Why give the referee something to think about?
If he doesn't pull his shirt, that's never gonna be given.

AnfieldFan:
That doesn't qualify to be a penalty...Silva was already going down while Xhaka's body was turned the wrong way.....

I'm not even an Arsenal fan but it doesn't make sense...

It's still very stupid. You set leg, you still dey drag shirt. Wetin be that?
