Hopefully both of them go don recover before April. The sun and terrible pitch (though not excuses) can slow down these foreign borns. Cameroon are mostly home based players, so they adapted well.
The weather can be terrible. But that pitch?? Oh boi. They really tried by keeping the ball aground. Kudos to them. Especially Ashleigh and Ajibade. I hate that officiating in women's football is getting worse. They stamped Uche and ref waved play on and called freekick Cameroon 4seconds later for a 50-50 tussle. I wish we saw the punch to Chiamaka. I hope someone in the stadium caught it on camera. Trust Nigerians to turn it to meme.

Arteta wanted Odegaard but we the fans disagreed. To us, Maddison is way better.

Arteta went for Trossard. We blamed him for pulling out of Mudryk's deal.

When I heard the Jorginho rumour, I thought na prank until I saw the announcement.

Raya vs Ramsdale was so hot mehn. Media pulled the nationality card too. But now, nobody dey reason am again.

Although the jury is still out on Vieira and Havertz.

It may seems as if I'm supporting him but experience they say, is the best teacher. He is clearly in charge. Let him do what he wants. Has he made mistakes in the past? Yes. Is he still making mistakes? Yes. Will he make mistake in future? Probably.

Hopefully, Pep will go trophyless this season and run away. He has done enough grin grin grin
But make we no lie, those guys under Tetaball would ball hard. Especially with Madison that already had experience. Mudryk environment might be affecting him too. I just feel he'd be different under us. Players heading to Balabluee side of London lately have all be underperformers. Even Caicedo.

I still imagine a Bha version of Caicedo in our middle. Guy we go ball. Especially if he played with Xhaka.

But irris what irris. So.....

The art of dribbling has become more intelligent and much more end 🔚 product centred as well as strategic.

When I look at Manchester City it's like looking at a team with several highly skilled number 10's ,there is continuous interchange of positions and formations.

Albeit with greater emphasis on number 9 depending on the circumstances, they change with the game and opponents.

So we even noticed the traditional number 9 quintessential striker is no longer central to some teams and or the numbers 9️⃣ adapts to changes and strategy making him very fluid. I see this in Arsenal and Liverpool.

The art of dribbling has not died it just got BETTER.
Got Better?

Im afraid this is just Recency Bias at play.


Besides, you can't see Doku and put end product in same sentence in all sincerity. Doku is getting more attention than necessary because dribbling overall has nosedived.if dribbling is like the last 2 decades, Doku na Pry 3 e go dey, analogy-wise.

Another observation that i keep finding funny is these are all from Man City. Why??

In a bid to hype the dribbling we currently see, we're trying hard to downplay that the last generation was the peak of both successful and unsuccessful dribblings. So the tendency to quickly paint it as no end product pops up. Lol.


Doku can't even lace Ribery and Robben's end product. Besides, that too is shrouded in defenders being superb. 1v1 situations and defenders came out okay. Now, we see 2 to 3 defenders because of dribblings, even when the dribblers aren't that good.

So, I'll rather see this like a venn diagram than distinct. What i don't like is painting the dribbers of last generation one kind way to make the dribbling we currently see as intelligent. Naaaah.

I will rather hype Ejuke
In same Epl, i can point several that do sweet, sleek and purposeful dribbling better than Grealish. But e be like the hype's been on Jack so it makes him look better than he is.


The truth of dribbling is that any dribbler must do it how JJ and Dinho did it(by this i mean you must sabi twist body like dance, even as a drunk, must have tricks up your sleeves, and end product)
One can be better than the other but it must be part of it. Even Messi had tricks and sleek, body twists.

Hilarious. The point is that the art of dribbling is not dead. I have dropped about four to five videos. You guys were just mute. If you want me to keep showing you that the art of dribbling is not dead, let me know.

Dribbling with purpose over dancing like a drunkard on the field.

Finito.


Welcome to the Thiago Alcantara show.

Dont shift the goalpost pls. Before the modern game started, we all know what actual dribbling is. And i put it to you that if that is impressive dribbling to you, then the aforementioned players are way better dribblers and should be hyped by you.


Okocha did everything.

Drunkard
Dancer
Actual Dribbling
With purpose or not, he did.

Dinho too.
And the names i listed do with purpose, except maybe Simon lately. Oyo for anyone that thinks it's dead. But that grealish own? Naaaahh. Too basic to be hyped by me or any fan that knows what dribbling used to be.

I am saying these guys have those skills but football today do not play to the gallery. Football today is really driven by effectiveness. So these guys don't gallivant with the ball, does not mean the art is dead.

For instance, Abeokuta means under the rock.
Abe-odun, if that is even a Yoruba word, means beneath odun (e.g., Christmas), which doesn't make any sense.

Please name the world 🌍 class players Nigeria has produced. And what is your criteria for world class.

For instance JJ Okocha is one of the most skilful players I've ever seen. But 84 games for PSG in French league one and 12 goals as well as 124 games in the EPL and 14 goals. Is that why me never got African footballer of the year ❓

Manchester city K. De Bruyne, is not as skilful as JJ but then considering the insane amount of assists who is more effective and better. In all honesty my heart ❤️ and eyes 👀 are for JJAY but my head 🗣️ is for K. De Bruyne.

What's your view
I thought your anthem/motto here is stats aren't conclusive. What changed now?

Now that's a rhetorical. But you're enjoying the options above, one for heart and eyes, another for head. That's what other folks also do with football. But you'll hop onto them like Lord Ozai. Why?
