So if Donnarumma had saved the Elliott attempt like he was suppose to people would have been hailing it as a difficult save lol. Nairaland will never cease to amaze me.

Shegzdave:
So you watched that match, with the intensity of PSG press and those balls their attacker were shooting against looserpool goalie and you think his saves weren’t spectacular?

10 saves by the goalie is nothing? You don’t know a save is a potential goal right?

I know comprehension has always been an issue on nairaland. Point out the difficult saves Allison made.

Shegzdave:
CAP amadi

Point out the difficult saves.

None of the Allison saves were superb or difficult. Psg hardly created anything clear cut apart from the Neves chance that was mishit plus the barcola that was blocked.

This is typical Enrique football. All fore..play without penetration.

Pkasso I can see you are online. Why is Bayern chasing away your kimmich? They finally figured out what I have been saying all these while.

akwesenana:
Youre usually unbiased, who are you picking between Musiala and Bellingham .

How is this a serious question?

Whenever Liverpool got a corner it was Rico lewis marking Van Dijk. Whoever is the City captain deserves to be knocked.

9 points from the last 9 league games. I remember telling you all to chill but you all were having dreams of being title contenders.

James allowing Mitoma to turn on him like a 6yr old.

Backwards backwards sideways sideways backwards backwards...... things I hate the most.

swiz123:
So you think Xavi's team is better than what Hansi has turned Barca to?

Take a look.

swiz123:
I don't know how much Barca is paying Hansi Flick but Boehly should double his salary and get him.

Someone doing worst than Xavi. Don't let us fight.

Realtord43:
so you mean maresca can't achieve what Conte did in his first season?

Remember, Chelsea were badly out of form, when Conte arrived, same as when Maresca took over.

It's not out of place or too much expectation if will expect Chelsea to win the league, it has happened before and it can still happened.

How is the league title chase going? You all were expecting a rookie manager to replicate Conte lmao.

Kovacic is very good at useless midfield play. Bro you are a 6. Stay in your freaking position.

Another one.

Retegui has developed far beyond by imagination. What a finish

Raphinha needs to be tested for drugs. That nigga is doping.

wman:
Happy 50th Birthday to Marina.

50 looks good on her.

Napoli and fumbling big bags. Stop holding players for too long till they lose their values you dumb tw.ats. Leverkusen take note.

Who the hell is bankrolling Como

Unlimited22:
Ronald Araujo? Bring.

He can defend wide spaces pretty well as a CB and e no dey do lightskin nigga style of defending.

The nigga is just returning from Hamstring injury and seems injury prone. If it's on loan till May then no problem. We need to start doing deals like those Italian clubs.

Douglas luis is also available on loan since Lavia has decided to be like Mount.

How is kvara and Omar available this January and we aren't doing anything to get either of them. This club damn

A40:
Just small example of the technical edge he has over them. They can't do what he does, while he can do everything they can.

Superior header of the ball, can score with both feet, can provide dead balls and score from set pieces.

Drogba is unique. How many of those past strikers excel in all these metric? How many setpiece goals does your Inzaghi and others have.

A40:
Isak dey score free kick? Ping corners and set pieces? If not then what do I want to see again?

Now its freekicks and taking corners lol. Your metrics are laughable.

A40:
What's Rooney's goal per game ratio in the PL. We can also say Isak is better than him if that's what you want to argue.

You skillfully glossed over Isak missing far more big chances than Drogba.

Those big chances missed for drogba is clearly a mistake. The fact you believed Drogba only missed 13 big chances in 8 seasons is amusing. Epl site is showing 1 big chances for Henry.

A40:
Lmao Jackson and Lukaku compared to Drogba in skills? Drogba wey dey throw pullout, free kick

You must be joking. No take laugh kill me abeg

Then post a better clip not that wack compilation you were trying to boost with. I could find better clips of Chris wood and welbeck

Americans, let me introduce to you Didier Drogba.pic.twitter.com/AFAJ1vEFFR https://t.co/fGBMPL8GWm

When we say quality of ball and strikers have dipped. Watch this clip of Drogba, this is a player commonly misidentified at the time as a brute and bruiser and show me the strikers today that possess this skill.

You can't show me any team with strikers that can do this now

I could literally find numerous videos on YouTube of donkeys like Jackson and Lukaku doing those skills. What exactly was in that highlight clip that strikers of today couldn't do? Just take a look at Lukaku the elephant.

Arsenal were robbed yesterday. Never seen a clash of heads given as penalty. We were also denied a penalty too. Premier league refs are a joke.

ThierryJay:
Only meaningless things here are your out-of-sync replies.

Looks like you got history here, full of caps. Shouldn't have engaged.

K

Vardy even had more 20plus league goals playing for Leicester. This was the example people were bringing to emphasis the death of quality strikers. A nigger dropping Chris wood numbers.
