Seems Man Utd and Arsenal are the most rejuvenated sides since the resumption



Arsenal are close to turning their Away GD to a positive one

GF 19 GA 21 GD -2


Man Utd Away GD is now 0.


Can it be done vs Leicester, Spurs, Liverpool?

No Pepe.

Heard he is with his wife in labour room. Safe Delivery man.
He could have done what this RB Salzburg guy did.


Go for wife delivery. Come back 2nd half and use the joy of a safe delivery to score a hattrick.

Not Sanchez but Nasri. I will play Sanchez, Auba and van Persie
I never thought of RVP on the right actually. seems unfair kind of.

Lol... I swear e hard too. If they were no van persie pix up there, I guess auba would have owned that spot. But with Rvp, hmmm
Lol. Over 100goals no be beans.

What of a B trio

I gues Gervinho and Podolski will cut it then.

But me i gats just include Auba men. I have imagined what he will do with Alexis on his left, an Alexis that understands body language like Auba and a sneaky Nasri on that right side.

Spy360:
Auba scores for fun from the wings, as in he is the fastest to reach 50goals despite our current mediocre setup. Leaving him out is denying yourself a very potent option.

I totally respect your choice though.
Sure. But what Sanchez offered asides goalscoring from that left wing was staggering. He was the counterattacks force of the team then. Once he started it, everyone holds their breathe.

BlueRayDick:
Sanchez on the Left

Van Persie in the middle

Samir Nasri on the right.


PS: This is me being objective based on how effective they were in the respective positions. I didn't factor in circumstances surrounding their respective exit
I think this is the most lethal sha. Based on natural position and performance in that position.

Aubameyang, van Persie, Sanchez
Yunno Sanchez no fit dey right na. He owns that left wing totally. No second thoughts. Lol.


Thus it becomes RVP vs PEA for centre.

E get some people wey no suppose dey here sef. Surprised why they didn't include Walcott here
Anyways, I go for

Sanchez. Van persie. Nasri
Lol. To choose Auba as Centre hard o!

I imagine if he played with Alexis, Arsenal will be in UCL by now, with Ramsey and Ozil behind them and Iwobi and Pepe,


But time differs.....

The only player worthy of the title " WASTEMAN" for me is Isaac Success.

Osimhen was essentially a youth player at Wolfsburg that failed to break into the first team. The only over hype was not from football insiders but fanatical fans. Nonetheless, he took my advice, went to a lower league and reinvented himself and the rest is history. Where did l call Osimhen a flop❓

KC the darling of this thread has with the consideration of his transfer fee of £25 million been very dissapointing. He has essentially flopped.

What were the expectations on Aneke none, what was the transfer fee zero. He was released from Arsenal for Nothing in 2014. He went on a free transfer to Charlton, the only expectations are the ones l had and in general from his exploits in the EFL league one.

Right now Eze is doing great he cost nothing there were zero expectations. If he goes for anything above £20 million to Tottenham and he doesn't perform, he will be called a flop.

Sadiq was a huge flop at Rangers who had done little or nothing in Europe's far better leagues. He has dropped very low to find relevancy not neccesarily higher competence. Only time will tell.

Etebo, Onomah, Onyedinma, Iorfa, Maja, have not met my expectations, should l therefore label them flopshuh ❓huh ❓
Abegii. Lol


Wasteman plenty for English borns na.

Well im glad you've adjusted the goal post from "totally impotent" to essentially flopped. But its still far from Nacho's truth. Loftus Cheek hasnt met my kwn expectations too, so he is a flop!! A big big one. Same for Barkley.


Well I'd love to literally give Barkley some advice that he will take and rejuvenate his career.


So for Wasteman status.... Isaac is on the You'll Never Walk Alone table here. He has lots of English borns to accompany him.

Heard Athletico madrid are preparing a bid for Chuks?

I would have preferred a more attacking club sha
Any counterattacking team will perfectly suit Chuks. Thats all i sha know.

Simeone will just increase his Defensive prowess. But the counterattacks...... Epic

If you once 'failed' in the Championship, Scottish Premiership or EPL you can never get on komekn's good books again. Look as Sadiq, even if he scores 100 goals for LIlle he will never change komekn's mind.

Yet he still scores goals when Vardy doesnt.

Very simple.

I have seen see too many youth players that are products of a particular system of football. Familiar with the system and played around with quality players around them.

Take them out of the system and they become half the player. For instance Everton Academy creates a great system for the team but doesn't neccesarily ensure individual player development and excellence. In reality it stifles it.

Chelsea system develops the individual player not just the team as a result they are more able to adapt to any system by applying the individual unique skill sets they have acquired and developed. Liverpool, Fulham are very similar Reading was like that too initially, Man U are now trying to do that.

So take out Phil Foden from Man City put him in Aston Villa what will happenhuh ❓

Remember KC thriving as a Super sub in the Man city system. Leaves the system and goes to Leicester he becomes totally impotent. I did say at the time the true test of his quality is when he leaves City. Well that's happened and the rest is history now proven.

Another classic was Jerome Sinclair youngest ever player to play for Liverpool. He had multiple accolades, l was not convinced l told them so. They scammed Watford sold him for £5 million he even dropped to league one were Maja left him for dead. You could say the same of Jordan Ibe but too a much lesser extent.

He Jerome Sinclair is currently lost in the Abyss of the Eredivisie and anonymous in general.

That's why l haven't gone all starry eyed over Foden, l rarely do in these things. The only player l marked out for greatness when I first saw him as a 16/17 year old teenager at Fulham was Dembele. I an sure l was accused of being his Dad here.
So the system matters now. Is that why Solanke is low right now? Barkley?


What of moves to big teams for the likes of Cantwell, Grealish, etc. Will they thrive?


Okay. Cos its seems a thin line between fitness, discipline and this system you're talking about. Like the example of Success you gave.... Fitness, not the system.

And i dont like your choice of words on KC.... Totally impotent? Thats extremely harsh. Very!!


The Eredivisie na abyss to you? shocked


Jerome no fit, simple!!

You prefer to downgrade The League than downgrade the player! Isokay.



Its way more than the system na.

I rate Phil Foden highly. I agree he is David Silva's perfect replacement. Lad is going to the top if he keeps at it. Very very technical player.
Im quite surprised Komekn hasnt shone his floodlights on this young man. Or maybe he has and i didnt see.


Not those players he mentioned will dance into any top 5 league teams last week.

A World Cup two years from now? With Osimhen and Chukwueze expectedly at a higher level of "Monster-ness" by then. Or a Chidera Ejuke, Dennis Bonaventure and Moses Simon in higher beast modes?

Naaah... I think not. Lol. But time will surely tell.
Twill be a gamble of Tested vs untested. Provided the untested haven't fired from at least half their cylinders.

Truly time will tell. Their prowess in GWG was and has never been in doubt or due to loss of form.
