Roland17:
Arsenal’s old cargoes

I just dey vex watching the match . Nobody to step up and create something except Saka steps up.!

For the first time I think it’s time for Auba to make way for another top striker . Auba needs to make way for a striker that offers us much more than goals ..... the team has so many inadequacies , having a striker who can’t do anything aside scoring only when he’s clear on goal is one of our problems as a team. He’s practically useless off the ball , no hustling like Martinelli does

Shame on Pepe and those old cargoes

As in.... serious shame on them o. Imagine the barely 20 year old boy carrying the whole team while some useless adults are just collecting salary for fun.

Well, In the past I’ve not taken time to watch odegaard really play , but from what I’ve seen this night, there’s nothing exciting about him . He’s just a basic guy mehn ! More back passes than forward passes .

Let’s just carry all Arsenal load on Saka

They should just rename this club : BUKAYO SAKA FC

iamoyindamola:
Did you get any vpn?

I just did now.... I got that Windscribe on App Store and seems it’s the answer as u prescribed.

Thanks

If not for Saka we for Don kpeme

Thunder will fire Bellerin! He was useless from beginning to the end of this match. He limited Saka's I pact sef. Gosh!

Saka na better player abeg!

iamoyindamola:
You using mtn right?
Just use VPN with your mobile network that should work cos that's what I'm using

Which VPN are u using?

These people Don pack midfield for us, hopefully Aubameyang will take his chances and not be missing sitters upandan

It's just damn frustrating Accessing Nairaland these days! And it's even across all platform; including phone and pc.

I've always looked at those guys that openly advertise on Instagram they sell brownies ( Cakes laced with Marijuana and other banned substances). I do wonder if they know there's an agency called NDLEA that is probably doing ground work on them and waiting for the best time to pounce on them.

No "aspire to perspire" today, if u like give up na u know. Olúwa a wá pẹlu ẹ

....And, afterwards, he’s mad,’ Dardai said of the incident


This up here is what caught my attention. If he's mad cos someone is correcting him, then really, he has a very very long way to go at the top. Him never get talent like messi and Ronaldo but he's having arrogance like Ibra.
So so bad.

If he doesn't take time, he might go the way like ballotelli, that's if he even reach his height sef...

As in..... I just weak mehn . Even me not being a professional footballer or coach it’s appalling seeing him hug the ball , delay the pass to other attacking players and wait till u get fouled (which most times do not happen because the regress usually wave off the challenge as being fair ).

Even Sterling with time has learnt to use that style to his advantage by listening to correction of coaches he’s played under.

How will Guendouzi learn if he won’t listen to correction sef ?

There's something definitely wrong with nairaland; accessing the site since yesterday has been difficult

Asaro + Edika IKong + beef

Hertha Berlin boss Pal Dardai says Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi has to ‘learn like an animal’ and compared his development as a footballer to a teenager going through puberty.

Guendouzi, 21, was exiled from the Arsenal squad following football’s restart last June, joining Hertha on a season-long loan deal during the summer transfer window. The Frenchman has started 14 of Hertha’s 22 Bundesliga games this season but according to Dardai, he has still some way to go before he fulfils his potential. ‘It’s like puberty for him, he’s kind of a rebel.’ Dardai told Bild. ‘He has to work and learn like an animal.’

Guendouzi was at fault in Hertha’s 3-0 defeat to RB Leipzig on Sunday, losing possession inside his own box minutes after coming on as a substitute with Nordi Mukiele lashing home his side’s second as a result.


‘In training, I always stop these kind of duels because you can’t fall to the ground like this. And, afterwards, he’s mad,’ Dardai said of the incident. Guendouzi’s discipline has been questioned on a number of occasions since joining the Gunners in the summer of 2018, coming to a head in June when he appeared to grab Brighton striker Neal Maupay by the throat during an ill-tempered Premier League clash.

The midfielder has not featured for the club since, failing to make the matchday squad again that season having also reportedly left the Arsenal staff unimpressed following an internal disciplinary meeting following the incident. Guendouzi is also said to have got in a heated row with Mikel Arteta during a warm-weather training camp in Dubai in February last year

This is what I've always complained about Guendouzi while he was playing for us, from what Hertha Berlin gaffer is saying up there seems the frenchman is not learning at all

Nobody cares about the kangaroo panel again. Make dem get out!

Since you have decided to be shifting the goal post with each reply, oya list your top 5 great defenders of last 20yrs, and the major titles they won and awarded best players of the tournaments.

From must win major title for club or country, to must be among the top 5 defenders in the last 20yrs, to he must be awarded the best player in the major tournament he won. Are you working as a gardener in a stadium? You shift posts like you do it for a living.

The moment u couldn't answer a simple yes or no question without shalaye was the moment I decided I won't be answering further questions from you. I no get strength for that back and forth argument that will last for days with u turning and wining jare

airmark:
So you didn't see Copa America, but saw Confederations cup. Just say Copa America is not a major title and let's rest.

You need to complete your internship under Dayo before you can master his Amala turning techniques.

I knew u were going to say this but everybody knows Thiago Silva wasn't Brazil's best player in that copa America, I deliberately didn't address it because a fellow Brazilian who is a defender as well was awarded the best player in that Copa america while the "great" Thiago Silva was overlooked. Why should I bother addressing that in the first place ? If his teammate is singled out and honored as the best player in the competition so I should still believe it was the “great “ Thiago Silva that delivered the trophy ?

Ibime:
No need setting the bar too high. We know the nigga who came to clown Thiago Silva used Boateng as reference point. So the real question is whether Boateng is in the top 5 defenders of the last 20 years.

No serious person thinks Boateng is, neither is Thiago Silva great.

airmark:
Trust me, i knew what i was doing when i added the highlighted part below in my reply. So, find another thing to type about Airmark's reply.



Your own yardstick is what i used as stick to strike out your invalid opinion about the GREAT Brazilian defender.

The same confederations cup David Luiz was also in the team of the tournament . Okay I agree Thiago Silva is a great Brazilian CB.

timbros:
Please which of the two bolded defines a great CB? The qualities you mentioned or "top 5 defenders discussed in the future"?

1. Well, airmark asked what I think makes a defender great and here's my response : " Well, for me I believe that aside from a CB being very good at reading the ball, very good in the air, being a good leader at the backline , making timely interceptions etc....such player must enjoy successful years with his team(either at the national level or club level by winning a major title ) and such success must be directly attributable to his footballing prowess. It is only then I consider such player as ''great"

2. Airmark carefully highlighted the part I talked about winning titles but didn’t see where I talked about such player being a major contributor to his team’ success within those periods .

3. Then he comes to drag George weah who is a former world footballer of the year , a pavel
Never who has a Balon D’or to his name among other honors and Zlatan who excelled almost everywhere he played into the conversation .

4. Do u honestly think I will continue with the conversation and be wasting my time trying to make him see what he doesn’t want to see ?

5. It is only right for me to ask him that since Pavel Nedved , George Weah are being talked about for how great they were in the eras they played , does he think Thiago Silva will be remembered and referenced as one of the top 5 defenders in the first 20 years of the 2000’s ?

6. I already got the answer I wanted from his inability to answer the polar question with yes or no .

hensben:
Sure his name will be in the conversation.

Maybe in the mouth of few French farmers and a handful of Chelsea fans that had no choice but to praise him for being better than Rudiger and Christensen . ( After all half bread is better than puff puff)

airmark:
My brother, Thiago Silva won Copa America and Confederation's cup with Brazil and also was in the team of the tournament in both competitions. So i don't know what you are talking about.

Oh, left to you, Nedved, Weah, Ibrahimovic were not great players because they didn't win UCL for their clubs and World cup for their countries, right?.

You rate a player based on his individual brilliance, not only by winning UCL and World cup. Silva was in Fifa world best 11 thrice, Uefa team of the year thrice. He was not there consistently because he came from Brazil but for his top class performances which he was consistent with.

If you like win World cup 7 times, if you are not exceptional in the competitions FIFA will only hand you gold medals, ask you to go home like Boathand while they honour those that are exceptional individually.

The main question is "If top 5 defenders that played across top leagues in Europe during this era are being discussed in the future, will Thiago be in the conversation?"

I'm not a fan of Boateng and his comical defending na.

airmark:
What are the great feats a CB must achieve for him to be referred to as a great CB in your books?

Well, for me I believe that aside from a CB being very good at reading the ball, very good in the air, being a good leader at the backline , making timely interceptions etc....such player must enjoy successful years with his team(either at the national level or club level by winning a major title ) and such success must be directly attributable to his footballing prowess. It is only then I consider such player as ''great"

I will gladly agree he is a good player for PSG particularly in the era in which they've dominated their domestic league with the arrival of their Qatari owners in 2011, but he isn't great defender you call him to be. That guy was always in the defense line when they get dumped out of Champions league year-in year-out.

Like I said earlier, when great defenders of this era will be mentioned, Thiago's named will likely be missing.

airmark:
He has all you could think of in a great defender.

Though he may be getting old, at present he is still better than most of all those hyped as the best CBs in the world.

I can only rate Dias a lil bit above him in Epl and it's because he is faster as he is obviously younger.

You see ehn, when I asked "what makes Thiago Silva a great ", I was really curious to know those great feats he's achieved over the years Manning the defensive lines of various clubs and countries. I mean those arguments that can be made for him in the next 3 to 4 years when he's fully retired and people start talking about the great defenders that played in first 20 years of the 2000's . Yes Thiago Silva is better than them David Luiz and co...... but that greatness u talked about I’m yet to see it.

Maybe u should’ve called Thiago Silva a good defender at best , but the way u used the word “Great “ loosely there ehn , e get as e be.

He won’t make the top 5 defenders of this first 20 years of the 2000’s that I watched and can recall how good the players who played in it were , so once again I am interested in what makes Thiago Silva aside from the fact that he’s like Chelsea’s beat defender since dem John Terry retired .

Zouma expecting that pass to go to his left and turning there created that opportunity for Minamino. If not for that wrong decision he would have tried and possibly closed him down before encroaching to face Mendy.

Swift and appropriate decisions in moments like that differentiate great CBs like Thiago Silva, VVD, Ramos from Boathand, Zouma, Rudiger and other average ones.

Thiago Silva needs to return asap before Tuchel starts throwing bottles at our players on the field.

What exactly makes Thiago Silva a great defender?

EXOUSIAng:
Thank you..
Some slowpoke will drive through Abesan and assume they seen it all.... I played basketball there after we moved from sewage, I was among the foundation basketballers in Pius field... Passer by wants to tell us about Abesan..I moved to Lekki but I am still proudly Abesan

I think most of them are trying to play politics, if not I don't see why anybody that knows that axis will boldly deny ambode did that. In fact it is on record that Ambode did so much for alimosho than any other governor has done till date

Michaelmercy:
Which ambode project?? You will just be on Nairaland and be saying what you don't know.
I was still at Abesan high school axis, Abesan Estate in October 2020, This project hasn't even started really at all. so surprised seeing it's complete now.. This is Sanwo Olu's project sir

U obviously are confusing this project with Abesan mini stadium ( Inside abesan high school compound). This particular project is sited at the former Pius Ikedia field and it was started by Ambode back then. Those who trained on the pitch were ejected then for the project to start.

It's an Ambode project but it's commendable Sanwoolu didn't abandon it.

This minamino goal too sweet abeg!

pocohantas:
I am fine sweetie. Thanks for checking on me.

Lol. My friend would say it is never complete without isam. She is from that side by the way.



Very colorful, just how I like it. I need a mini beautiful wok like that. Meanwhile, avoid using metals in your nonstick, they tend to scratch those beauties. Next thing you will start seeing small small lines inside.

I actually have a plastic set of spoon for the nonstick, but I do notice the plastic melt at times when cooking on high heat hence why I used the metal. I guess going forward I should be shopping for the wooden set.

Thanks for the heads up
