jackbauersballs: You fail to grasp the point.

Why should Lampard have more shots than ANYONE at Chelsea without creating a single goal? Even if he played 1 million minutes.
His Job is to create, not strike... so why is he racking up more shots than his Striker?
And why is he Chelsea's highest goal scorer in the League despite playing in a withdrawn position behind Torres and MaZaCar?

This tells you that someone is obviously disregarding convention and team shape by charging forward to score....

The same 6 games...and Lampard has more shots than Torres\Ba\Mazacar despite sitting just in front of the back four...

Lampard has more goals because He takes penalties for Chelsea He has 11 league goals how many of them are penalties.

Lampard gets more shots than Torres because Torres is inherently useless.

Did you see the clip I posted? Go look at it and tell me how its Lampards fault that he didnt get an assist or Torres didnt get a shot

[size=18pt]So why are we complaining when Boko haram said they also want amnesty Salary and also a seat in Senate[/size]

Constant playing is not an excuse? You mean players are supposed to score when they are on the bench or when they come in 4 minutes to the end of games

Given Demba bas minutes he has done well

How many league goals has Torres scored in his own minutes played this year

A-40:
Why is Wilshere playing truancy? He was supposed to get another lesson in the art of attacking and central midfield play

if na you nko? Who go wan that kain schooling again. I wont be surprised if Sagna, Cazorla, Podudski etc all pull out

coogar: here we go again?
ba has not worked at chelsea - one or two goals, what does it matter? in the same period, sissoko has scored 3 goals for newcastle, he's an attacking midfielder and i am sure cisse has scored more in that period too. they all play with a midfield substandard to MAZACAR.

the question is - what is it about chelsea that prevents strikers from thriving?

Demba Ba has scored 2 goals in less than 400 minutes

Papiss cisse has scored 4 goals in over 800 minutes

Has Demba Ba not worked at Chelsea given the minutes he has played?

jackbauersballs: Agreed.

It is not a disaster, but it is certainly NOT impressive...


You keep missing the point. Torres has not been prolific in front of goal for Chelsea. Then again Neither has Ba. the question now is WHY?

Why Ba is because Ba has not been played consistently in those 2 months. You dont score when you are not playing.

Scoring 4 goals in those limited appearance and circumstance is outstanding. How many did Ba score when Pappis came 2nd half of last season?

Lampard is a creative midfielder for Chelsea...How does he have the highest stats for goal attempts at Chelsea in the last 6 games without creating a single goal?

How can a Striker thrive when his midfielder is hustling for goals instead of creating them?

Why because he probably played more game. Secondly he doesnt have more assists because the useless Torres keeps wasting them
Look at the clip below and tell me why this isnt an assist for Lampard given the type of ball he fed to the dud


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqLnwjbavgQ

jackbauersballs: I fail to see what you are driving at.

Do you not get what I am telling you? This is not a case of Ba vs Torres...

Both of them are not utilized effectively under the current dispensation.

For instance...In the Last 6 games, Hazard has had only 1 assist, Mata 2, Lampard 0

In the same time period Hazard has tallied 6 shots, Mata 9 shots and Lampard 13!

Yet in the same time period Torres has 11 shots(5 in one game-Sparta) shots and Ba has 10 shots(6-in one game -Westbrom).

All stats from ESPN.

Now it says a lot when the players who are supposed to be CREATING goals are infact not doing so, but racking up shots on goal to rival and in Lampard's case surpass their Strikers shot tallies!

Strikers under Chelsea will always struggle as long as the Midfielders keep going for personal glory!

For your stats in those last 6 games How many minutes did Demba Ba play? Because if lampard played 700mins and Ba played 200mins it definitely makes sense Lampard would have more shots

And who are the opponents Demba ba played against because its basic common sense that one would get more shots vs Lower teams than vs A man City for example.

coogar: [size=14pt]ba has one league goal[/size] - concentrate on the league not some useless competition where the opponents have their priorities elsewhere.

Same ol shiit dawg every different day

Here we go again ..........

Was it in Challenge cup that he scored vs Southampton and West brom.

meanwhile Can you tell us how many league goals Torres has in more minutes in the same time frame

^^ Buhari won both Kaduna and Gombe states in 2011 election

chyz: The northern oil ownership is not surprising. The yoruba nepotism in the oil companies is a known secret. its ridiculous especially since the most educated people come out of the se and ss. from the looks of the right up there will soon be a purge of yorubas by the natives out of the niger delta because this article seems to be getting a lot of people angry.

Oil companies recruit from the Top Universities in Nigeria

Most Oil company only look at certain schools and mostly UNILAG, IFE UI

Check the global ranking of Nigeria Universities any year Top 5 are usually dominated by SW schools Maybe those are based on nepotism too

Show me any Global ranking that doesnt have at least 3 SW schools in their top 7.

The MNC recruit from these top schools an example below

http://www.4icu.org/ng/

Using that as an example assuming an Oil company recruit 1 student from each school that means We would have 5 from SW schools out of 10

chukwudi44: Nobody from the SS/SE did contest did elections.Do you really believe yorubas make up to 80 % of lagos

In 1993 Sylvester Ugo a man from the SE contested as Bashir Tofas running mate. Yet that did not stop Lagosians from giving MKO over 70% votes

In 2003 Okadigbo was the running mate of the ANPP and that did not stop lagosians from giving OBJ the landslide majority.

Yorubas make about 80% of the voting population in lagos.

During elections who do you think vote? Its the indigenes and the local people that do most of the voting

rhymz: Thank God you know sentiment also played its role especially amongst the Yoruba voting population. The only reason people take the SW seriously is because of Lagos and I am telling you that Lagos Population wont be decided alone by Yorubas. The rest other SW states actually can't pull enough votes to cause any serious upset if Jonathan should get the kind of bloc votes he got from the East and over 70% from the NC and an average of 35-40% in core north. Again, SW votes in a greatly neutralized Lagos votes is not that much, don't exaggerate their size and number as a sub-region, unless you want to clump even non-Yorubas who may not neccessarily share the Yoruba political sentiments as the Yorubas . Nigeria is very good at that anyway but elections will reflect their dis pleasure at such a flaw.
Besides we are still 2yrs away from 2015, sentiments may change once the dividends of current projects starts paying off. Jonathan will be sitting well if he gets Electricity fixed and does nothing else. And there are visible signs of progress in that direction, that is a fact that can't be denied.

If we remove Lagos Population the SW is still more populated than the SE according to CENSUS figures.

And a fashola ticket is a yoruba ticket which would get 70% of votes in most SW states just like Awolowo, Olu falae and MKO the recognised Yoruba tickets got in the past

rhymz: all you talk about is victory and not the margins and number of votes in relative term to the other party. You sure know how to argue sentimentally. States like Ekiti and Osun with barely a million registered voters na im make up the 6states na. Guy, don't forget that the 90% did not only come from the SE states, the SS also gave theirs, we are talking of the entire Eastern region and you are exaggeriting the importance of just the sw subregion that becomes no different once Lagos is out of the question.

You just wait and see

In 1999 Presidential election which is almost 15yrs ago Total number of voters in osun state during the presidetial election was 850k. That was in 1999 oo. You mean 15yrs later They would barely have 1m and would have added just 150k people to the number of voters? in 15yrs? You mean the number of people since 1999 who have crossed the age of 18 minus those that died would just be 200k?

Or Ekiti that recorded over 700k votes in 1999 would have a problem adding an additional 300k voters in 15yrs?

All those figures in 2011 was because no one from the SW was interested in the election. Let Fashola get on the ticket and excite the SW voters then you would see America wonder

chukwudi44: Buhari can never get 70% in Lagos.Guy abeg argue with facts not sentiments.There is just too high population of SS/SE people in lag for that to happen

How did Olu Falae get 88% of Lagos votes in 1999? Or where was Lagos getting over 70% votes for ACN Fashola or SDP Mko

You really dont know much about politics do you

DO you think a Yoruba man would care about PDP or anything when they hear Fashola is on a ticket of a party?

Didnt all Northern states vote PDP in Governorship elections but voted their man Buhari in the Presidential a week later?

E.g PDP won Bauchi Govership while in presidential they returned 80% votes for Buhari CPC?

How come in 2003 Lagosians were voting AD in governorship and OBJ-PDP in presidential or in 1993 Lagosians voting NRC in governorship but reverting back to SDP by over 70% when they saw a Yoruba name on the ballot paper

And there is no way population of the SE can match the SW. for one SW has 6 states

Ikengawo: Are you going to tell me then that Igbos don't constitute nearly half or more of the student body in these schools?
Compared to their population (30 million) yorubas are only seen in these schools, which are some of the most mixed school in nigeria. the difference is you'll see igbos in schools all over the country but not yorubas and their population is less. So when you do the math the facts are obvious. If you want I can post jamb scores and acceptance rates per state

Ibos nearly half in Ife UI and UNILAG? So assuming Ibos are nearly half say 40% how many percentage are SS/MB and How many Percentage are Yorubas? fill in the gaps as you wish

You can't bend reality in Nigeria to suit ethnic sentiment. If you're saying yorubas are overrepresented in the oil industry because of education you're lying to yourself only because we all know that the SE is the most educated region in Nigeria. I'm not saying it because i'm Igbo, I have nothing to prove to you. When did government appointed jobs in Nigeria start using merit?

Most oil industry emplyment are by MNC and nothing to do with govt. So spin another lie.

^^ The SW that counts in this doesnt have any issue with a Moslem -Moslem ticket.

Almost every Yoruba person has Moslems in their family so no proble with Moslem Moslem ticket

What you analyzed above is Just the Buhari part of the ticket, WHich would hold if Buhari is running alone or with a nonentity. Have you added the Fashola-ACN part of it.

In 2015 with the way the country is Polarised, and the possible interest by the SW there is no way you can get lackadaisical turnout of 2011

Everyone would turn out and vote to the max, Most people who were either sympathetic to Jonathan or indifferent are now stauchly against him.

The ideology of "Let them also have their turn" most Yorubas had in 2011 is gone and everyone dey "zobo-eyed" now given the total neglect of the SW

chukwudi44: Except that what we are dealing with here are registered voters and not necessary state population.Besides you can see that buhari victory's in some of this states were very narrow like say 1.3m against GEJ's 1.1m in Kadunna.The same scenario would be obtainable in Lagos with a very huge population of SE/SS.GEJ wwas winning almost 98% of votes in the SS/SE while buhari keeps winning 50-60% don't forget we are counting majority of votes cast and not really who will win the states.

The general population is directly related to the voting population.

Theres no way Bayelsa would record more than 1m votes. Same with states like Ebonyi, Abia, Cross River realistically none

If Buhari should win over 70% of votes in places like Katsina, Kano, Lagos, and Oyo(States that can easily churn 1.5m to 2m voters) the margin already would already cover the entire voting population in almost 10 states

Ikengawo: name an area where igbos dominate that has been nepotism?

trade?
education?
commerce?
manufacturing?
sports?
entrepreneurship?

any merit based field in Nigeria is SS or SE dominated.

Music is dominated by the SW I guess its also nepotism, Banking is dominated by the SW. Let me leave you to your delusions. You need it to maintain your identity

Ikengawo: SW states do the second worst in education statistics, the north does the absolute worst

Imo, Anambra, Delta trade spots for top three, so i doubt it has anything to do with skill or awolowo. You can keep telling this lie of an 'educated SW' or you can pursuit real education like the rest of nigeria is attempting to do. Every SW uni is minimum 30-40% igbo while every SS SE uni is 12% yoruba maximum.

unless you feel that the oil industry in nigeria is being handled with 'skill'

Where you people get your funny stats from is what amazes me. Just like they come up with owning 90% of lagos, Abuja 60% of Kano voters etc

Ibo 40% then maybe SS/MB another 30% That makes Yorubas the minority in the Ife, UI and UNILAG right? Are you that retarddded

I went to Ife, I can tell you we have more Bendel students than Ibos.

Ask any Ife graduate here, You need to speak Yoruba to be an Ife student confirmed.

The Oil industry is very competitive and the best Schools are in the SW. The top schools in Nigeria are UI, UNILAG and IFE all the 3 offer either petroleum Engineering, or CHemical Engineering.

9ja voice: read well . the guy said yorubas dominate nigeria oil industry workforce.
it is pure nepotism.

the writer also gave yorubas soft landing bcus of southern brotherly feelings in us SS/SE.

Can we also say its nepotism that makes SE dominate trading in Nigeria?

When Ibo dominates its on merit, when other do in other sphere of life its Nepotism.

Its the benefit of the free education we got from Awolowo

flexya: wats all these 19 states BS. u could become president by just winnin in lagos and kano, which has the largest populations (assumin this equates to highest registered voters after next round of inec registratn). u just need highest total votes and back it up by obtainin one third of the votes cast in at least two third (19) States. abeg read our constitutn well

You have seen that by States its not looking good for Jonathan. Now lets look at how the raw numbers would look.

In 2015 givn the shape of the polity all the region would be interested seeing how divided the Nation is and the winner takes all mentality.

Regardless of how you twist it, It still looks promising for the APC. the region with the highest population would probably be won by the APC.

According to Nigerian Census figures The Northwest is the most populated followed by the SW. These are the region with vested interest in the merger

E.g in the Presidents home state of Bayelsa has a population of 1.7 m While Katsina(Buharis home state) has 5.8 m, Kano Lagos,Oyo, Kaduna are the most populated states in Nigeria and at least 4 of them (Oyo, Kano, Katsina, Lagos) are for APC

The top 5 states by Populations are states that could be easily won by the alliance

You seem to underestimate the power of SW voters when they are interested in an election. In 1999 you should ask how Olu Falae got over 4m votes from the SW despite that he contested against another SWesterner

Rubbish

You mean the author couldnt name a single Yoruba man who owns an OML and yet the SW are the ones stealing the common Patrimony

Or he meant people who went to look for jobs and are employed by multinationals are the ones stealing their patrimony

Roland17: Can Arsenal score 2 goals or more away from home? most definitely yes..especially if we replicate our second half performances in the first..

The problem is, can we defend goals we score? that is where we have a huge problem..its a shame we can't..

Arsenal need to score at least 3 goals to have any chance of qualifying

If you win 2-0 you still lose

Well done guys Good to know you are using your head and not using your money to Bleep ashawo finish and club

Remember to pay your taxes to Fashola though.

Eko o ni baje oo

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Lol - Broda I tire, not even Up to 2 months and here are some Jews Selling a 'Blind conception'!

Coogar, Jackbauer, Debosky and Nateevs, I'd Love to Know why Rafa has decided to reserve Nando for the trivial games and Ba for the Crackers - Present a Sound Logical Reason that answers the Question and i vow to Shut it on this debate![/color]

Their positions are slightly different

Jackbauer - Demba and Torres suck because Stikers suck in Chelsea generally

Debosky- Agreed, Torres is dud but Demba ba is also Dud

Coogar - Actually Torres has been excellent in Chelsea while Demba ba is a failure

Nateevs - Anything the above people say is right

chukwudi44: You really make me laugh? When did he start deporting fellow citizens,banning okada,creating toll gates or closing markets? Why didn't he do that during his first term? Dayo do you live in lagos? Please let's not just get sentimental and rather face facts

Closing market? When did he close down oshodi and chase people away? 2008 Way back in his first term, When did LASTMA start clamping down on people

Fashola has been deporting people since 2009 and he is still loved.

chukwudi44: Talking about fashola just as so many people love him,he is also very much hated.For one the huge no of non-indigenes here in lagos would not vote for him.he has done a lot to upset the lower income earners and this would really hit back @ him.Besides so many xtians including yoruba xtians would frown @ a muslim-muslim ticket

Have you checked the numbers which Fashola won by in 2011?

I am almost sure he won all LGA in Lagos state. So where are these people who hate him coming from.

Another election today, Fashola would win by the same margin.

I am a SW Xtian and I dont care if we have a Moslem-Moslem ticket

in case you havent realized, the SW doesnt really care about religion because most of us have all religion in our families. Xtian , Moslem and Traditional.

f you check even people like Oyedepo, Adeboye, Ashimolowo, Olukoya and some SW Xtian leaders they would have Moslems in thir family.

A Northerner might not know any Xtian in his family, Same with SE/SS but never in the SW. Fasholas wife is a Born again Xtian even till now, Same with Tinubu
My dad a Xtian, never fails to buy Sallah ram for his aunt a Moslem till she died

chukwudi44: We didn't have boko haram and sharia in 1993.Even mko won in the SE/SS ststes in 1993.

Pre 1993 we already had several religious riots in the North.

In 1993 MKO lost in most of SE states. He lost 3 out of 4 states

chukwudi44: Buhari got 25% in this MB states during the last elections and still lost the elections.It is not about getting just 25% of the votes like I said but rather simple majority. During the last elections GEJ got 22.4m votes while Buhari got 12 m votes.out of GEJ's 22m votes 2.4m votes came from the SW.even if we had a 100% improvement in the SW and they all vote for buhari while others vote as before GEJ would still win.This myth of SW swing votes would be rubbished during the next elections.They only contributed just 10% of GEJ votes during the last elections

You want to know the voting power of the SouthWest when they really care check the 1999 figures for Olu Falae

http://www.electoralgeography.com/new/en/countries/n/nigeria/nigeria-presidential-election-1999.html

GEJ got 2.4 m votes from SW in 2011 I am assuring you with Buhari-Fashola vs GEJ It would be 80% figures for APC.

In 1999, Falae got over 4m votes from the SW alone despite contesting against a fellow SWesterner. thats 14yrs ago, Population has increased, People are now more politically conscious. I see no how Fashola ticket wont cop an excess of 6-8m votes

The 6 SW states have voting population thats very high

chukwudi44: Niger is not middle belt.During the last election Buhari lost in the entire MB states of nassarawa,benue,plateau,kogi,taraba,kwara statees and come 2015 he will loose again.

Without those states Buhari still won 13 states. Right? Now add 6 SW states to it and see what you have. All Buhari needs from those Middle belt states are 25% of votes. Are you saying he wont get 25% in Nasarawa, Plateau, Taraba, Kwara and Kogi?

I had to check the results of the lasts presidential elections and was very suprised to see that the Sw contributed just 2.47m out of GEJ's 22.4m votes with almost half of the votes comming from lagos that's so much for the so-called swing states.Even the kadunna state that buhari was with less than 60% of the votes

Last election the SW wasnt interested in whatever was going on in the presidential election

Now throw in a Fashola and you still think the enthusiasm would be the same?. It would be more similar to the numbers given to Falae in 1999 and MKO in 1993

Omo yoruba swagga
