Same Norwich we relegated that year🤣
Remember city also have something to lose

You don't get? Both got relegated na. I'm saying the seasons they survived, they gave top teams palava.

Gift Orban hitting the bar after kickoff eas sleek.

Awoniyi and Iwobi with shockers.

iamoyindamola:
I no trust them jare
Na Brighton and Brentford I they bet on

Their resolve to not relegated is the deciding factor. I recall Norwich and Burnley that year frustrating top 4 teams in games of May. Let's see how. Cos travel go too much for pep team.

mostob:

City didn't just get here overnight. I hope to see us attain this height too.

Toney is similar to Jesus...we need a tall striker

I'm surprised we didn't grab Isak o. Osimhen no go bad. We won't need to really use sleekness to transition if Osimhen is in the team. Plus cross and nod go return to this team. It's only for corner kicks we do cross and not right now.

iamoyindamola:
The 2 matches I am hoping something might happen is Brighton and Brentford
Everton go chop am wotowoto

The everton that drew city?

The Dyche's Everton that schooled de zerbi tonight?

Rem they don't want to relegated too

Dem go smell blood next season
Na invincible challenge we go do next season. By that time, Vieira and Sambi go don download finish.

Arsenal will be unplayable next season. Whatever the outcome of this one, the ginger that they'll see both highs and disappointing lows in crucial times of this season will make them unplayable like City. Reinforcement will help. Especially players that can trouble City if we play with them. We need to prioritize that kind of recruiting. I dunno why Pundits have really been putting floodlights on Ivan Toney as a good buy for Arsenal sha. Been seeing it from tabloids too.


The 3 teams that ruined this season for us with draws go hearam too.


But City are siblings with success. Omo!!

BlueRayDick:
Just wait and watchout for him in subsequent matches . Today’s match is the kind of match Xhaka likes , a lot of rough game in the middle of the park .

That Xhaka really blocked goalbound shots today o. Imagine games where Xhaka is the most fouled midfielder😂😂😂

That says a lot.


I heard they're training ESR for the xhaka role. To me that's an epic waste of resources to me. They should goan find replacement in the market. ESR can be Odegaard replacement for rotation. That's more preferred to me.

BlueRayDick:
Did me and u have any discussion about Zinchenko being a better defender than Tear-Knee ?

It’s obvious Zinchencko is preferred because of his attacking inputs ; not necessarily his defensive inputs . We have moved away from sitting back doing all the defending ( as at last year) ; to taking the ball to our opponents half . That in itself means we’ve prioritized attack ahead of defence .

The fact that Ben white a CB is being used as RB shows our coach prefers to sacrifice one side for attack and the other for defence .

If we intend to sacrifice Zinchencko for his defensive errors , then we should be willing to get a decent RB that will be attacking minded . That way , we will have Tear-knees defensive solidity on the LB

Do we? That's why i asked cos it's been raised on here several times months back before this bad run of games even started. Everyone knows the better defender and that's a fact.

As for White, i have complained about him strolling back like asif nothing concern him when they counter us. Funny enough, today was one of his best games in defensive mode. Glad he had help from Saka for Saint Max. That guy moves like a usain bolt snake.

Regardless, we need reinforcement there. UCL no be beans.

Roland17 no lie at all. Make Odegaard Dey shoot am as e Dey come.

Happy for this victory. Newcastle and Brighton were the two teams I thought would have stopped us from winning the league. It turns out that we might overcome their challenge.

Sadly, we had two unexpected draw games. The two draws against Westham and Southampton might end up being our biggest regret in recent time.

Perhaps the gods of football might still smile at us and make the Man City draw two games or lose two games while we win all of ours.

as it stands, only Everton and Brentford can pull a surprise on City. Else nothing is happening. Not bad to believe sha. This was one of the reasons i wanted us to score large for times like this incase it came down to GD but the h2h already negates that.

iamoyindamola:
He's my direct swap for xhaka, very good box to box
Who noticed willock partly ruined Newcastle today, he hesitated to shoot early in his chances

I noticed two were on him throughout. The passes he gave when he beat those 2 were dangerous ones.

Willock hestitated truly. But he shot one too sha.

BlueRayDick:
Just take ur time and watch Xhaka closely in upcoming games

I looked out for what you said about Xhaka in this game. Looked like i was right on both of them. Although Nelli waiting was due to nobody being near him so he held on longer almost 6times. Xhaka was in a deeper role today surprisingly. Those clearances and blocks are what Partey supposed to be doing but he doesn't even have the pace. (I think Xhaka is even faster than Partey)


Howe played to outsmarted our strength
Arteta played to outsmarted their strength (perhaps the modification for Xhaka role today)

We won.

Isolate Guimares and their defence becomes more clueless. That Guimares get better pass and vision abeg!! I wish we got him that time we were linked. I don't mind having him but it's late now that Newcastle are in UCL spot.

I'll still be on lookout sha. But the rotation didn't happen today.

Lovely clean sheet for Rams. He personally delivered that to himself. He doesn't look like someone that makes key saves in a match😂

iamoyindamola:
Saka should be doing better

I think they gave him a free role this time. He should have buried that 1o1 sha. Low shot was better option under such a press from Schar.

BlueRayDick:
Zinchencko needs to put his head more into defending ! 🤦‍♂️

You're realizing this now ba? We don see am since. Defending is not his forte. Na why we like Tierney. Na tactics dey make Zinch start. He even made Epl TOTs. But he needs a more experienced competition. We will need it alot next season

Roland17:
I keep saying it, no player has a better shooting technique than Odegaard on this roster. His shots automatically are automatically angled.

Everything we complained about in the beginning of this season, be like arteta dey implement am. Abeg, everyone, dey type your mind out o, be like dem dey read our comments o😂😂😂😂


Shoot Odegaard
Shoot shooot shooot

Now in last 5 games, 5goals

Imagine if he started earlier this season..... He for get 25goals by now. Especially as he's one of Epl's best midfielders with most accurate shot at goal. I didn't expect the goal. Nice one there for Jorg's dummy. It really helped disturb Joelinton

do4luv14:
I seems to be having problems uploading pictures, who can help with it,

Anytime I select and click send it will go, buh not uploaded


Sharply Guyz Don edit that pics and Put Osimhen there, a thread is in sport section, you will see it there

yeah. Even Bashir Ahmad join them drag Serie A😂

do4luv14:
The rightful King of Naples

Serie A English no well. I expected it. Make dem chop Kvara na. Mtchew

Deltamani:
Like who know Ohale wella from Scratch go know say she na very Aggressive Defender, na She da Mark the most Physical player ( Especially the ones that look like Men) of our opponents then…

Experience have set in now and she seems to have lost a little of the aggressiveness as age also come to play!

Who remembered Equatorial Guinea (no. Salimata Simpore and (no.5) Biliguisa Simpore that year?

Thanks for reminding me. This lady was a thorn in that match. Also the era EG were trying to prove we no sabi again. Ohale deserve hype.

andrew444:
Calm down

Bayern fans love chipo moting

I know. I just said the mane situation just doubled the dislike not that its the main reason.

andrew444:
He won’t go to Man U

He should stay at Napoli if it’s not Bayern who needs a striker

everyone loving this bayern move should dead it abeg. I just don't like the move. The mane situation again even made me double the dislike again😆

Deltamani:
Ohale was giving me that Rudiger kind of vibe with her Defending back in those days, Her game have really really changed a lot..

Wow. See my alltime fav german player that year, Birgit Prinz. Ohale really gumbody that year and i cut cap for her that year. Popp may just about be in the limelights again this WWC. I hope we have one too that will be in limelight with performance asides Oshoala. Someone new like Ohale that year.

orriyomi33:
Victor Osimhen is not leaving.

If Kvara is going to leave then all this one na lamba. He can spend a season there more if he wants. Esp if they allow afcon release. But strikers are hot in demand now sha.

jihday:
fake news

😯

charlesemeka85:
ETH got COOKED for two losses in the first games.

Meanwhile Lampard has lost 6 in a row whilst conceding 12 goals & scoring 2. Not a SINGLE word on him I wonder why

The bias in English media is embarrassing!

Its so archaic a style. Dunno why they're still doing that old school thing. Lampard wey suppose start therapy sessions after season end plus go do training under an experienced manager like Carlo or Mou. Guy is not doing anything. Na why i rate Siasia and Eguavoen above am. They'll both handle Chelsea better.

FIFA remembers Yekini's heroic 1st goal today. One thing that caught my eye was the speed at which gwg shirts went into the box right after Amokachi's no look pass. Asides Yekini, there were 3 others running at possible places the pass will end up at. Nowadays, na Only Osimhen go dey box 18 and they won't even pass despite being in a better spot.


Simon go dey stroll like say he be defender
The other midfielders go dey waka like say coach forbade that movement into the box.

Deltamani:
Michelle Alozie features as Houston Dash earn a home win

Make she play wing for us. Chai. Twill just make pressure on the back reduce, especially as she does come back to help defend unlike the other way where the winger in front of her doesn't assist

Deltamani:
Apart from Asisat Oshoala na this five I fit remember..

1. Chiamaka Nnadozie Paris FC, Eliminated by AS Roma
2. Halimatu Ayinde Rosengard, SWEDEN
3. Christy Ucheibe SL Benfica, PORTUGAL
4. Regina Otu when she was with FK Minsk, BELARUS before moving to France late last year..
5. Glory Ogbonna when she was with ALG Spor before moving to Besiktas..

Gracias. I dunno if more will come. Especially these elite teams are hard to get into. Asisat is really trying.

Roland17:
81 goals is impressive and an improvement from previous seasons.

especially the points. We finished with 69 last season for 5th. Nobody is currently on 69 as i speak. Meaning something is going on.

Spy360:
You know a good team when goals are spread evenly

Man city are just tooooo good and consistent. We don try.

Deltamani:
Scoring against your former club in CL is something Special

How many Super Falcons players were even in this UWCL? Na only Oshoala dey?

Lovely compilation. Seems we have enough of them in the coaching business to ensure we rely on them someday in the future.
