coogar: go and find out the number of crosses robben and ribery have laid on the plate this season
before coming out to spout nonsense.



it's a general problem. i am not witch-hunting sturridge here but i think he's the leading culprit.
the number of chances the team creates is too low for any striker to thrive. this is why both torres
and drogba have suffered this season which is contrary to your daft opinion that it's because drogba is old.

old drogba poved you wrong against tottenham n barcelona.

If a striker is useless someone would have to score

In 2010 when Bayern strikers were pants Robben outscored them, Since Torres is useless then Sturridge would have to outscore him.

In 2010 when Arsenal strikers were not performing , Fabregas and Arshavin easily outscored them

Drogba is too old to perform consistently is the issue, He can still do it once in a while but not with the consistency expected from a 27yr old.

A 39yr old Giggs delivers from time to time but its foolhardy to expect him to deliver every week like a 27yr old

Ijogz K: Congrat best striker in the world... Kudos to your hardwork.. Hopefully you would surpass CR7 & Wizard Messi b4 you retire someday....

Best striker in which world? You take alomo do injection?

coogar: that's the point! which of robben or ribery has scored more than mario gomez?
the snap-shots sturridge take that often leads to goals should have been passes to his
centre-forwards. sturridge as a winger is stealing the glory that should have been for
drogba or torres. if he learns to pass the ball more, more clear-cut chances would be created
and more goals would be scored by the centre-forwards.

Thats because Mario Gomez is alive to his duties as a striker and not pissing around the field keeping shape.

If Mario Gomez wasnt doing his job, Robben would easily outscore him. In 2010 when Bayern strikers were not performing, Robben outscored them all

When Sturridge doesnt play Torres still dont score. So whats the point?

We have blamed Lampard, Drogba, Opposing defence and keepers, pitch, noise level, Language for Torres non performance, Now the next person to blame is Sturridge?

coogar: so valencia and nani or young are not scoring threats?
see brainfarticles from dayokanu, for bleeps' sake.

Which of these have as many goals as Sturridge? How many goals has Young and Valencia?

coogar: mata having 11 assists are mostly from set-pieces.
valencia has 13 assists, he has been injured twice this season and he doesn't take set-pieces.
chelsea create one or 2 chances for torres per game n they expect him to score from the scraps.

in other teams, chances created are up to 10 for their strikers. it leaves a huge margin for errors.
van persie or rooney can miss 5 chances in a match and still bag a hatrick. not the same at chelsea.
the midfielders are lethargic. they create nowt.

Torres is banned from scoring from those Set piece assist or whats the point about the set pieces issue?

Chelseas midfielders dont create but Mata created 11 goals this season and Torres couldnt benefit from it.

So we should blame them for not creating enough? when the dud is elsewhere on the field keeping shape or looking for Spanish speakers

debosky: Even with Torres' failings, this abysmal level of chance creation is clearly a big problem - Mata having 11 assists doesn't negate the fact that sufficient chances are not being created at Chelski.

The debate about formations is a red herring - the simple fact is that chances are not being created. If Torres was playing for Liverpool who've been creating a lot but failing to score, then we can blame the striker - clearly this is not the case with Chelski.

Chelsea has scored about the same number of goals with teams in their level on the table. (Newcastle, Tottenham)

How come Tottenham and newcastles strikers are scoring double digits even the Cisse that joined 3 months ago while Torres is in triple digit misses?

Why is Torres not doing the same like strikers of other clubs are doing

For a clear chance to be created its a combination of the midfielders and strikers effort. While Demba ba, Adebayor, papiss are running into positions , Torres would be elsewhere keeping shape and the chances that get slapped on his face he slips

So who else can help him

If a midfielder in Chelsea can have 11 assists and Torres cant benefit from any of those then He has a problem

ritchboy: Chelsea only started playing this formation under RDM, and one could still argue

A. It's actually 4-2-1-3 not 4-2-3-1.

B. United play 4-4-2 not 4-2-3-1, cos Rooney gets forward/in the box a lot more than Mata does.

C. Torres is pants in any case

Leave coogar let him continue his brainless yarns like say na only him dey watch Man Utd

When playing 4-2-3-1, The 2 wide men are expected to be scoring threats similar to Robben, C.Ronaldo. etc

But when playing with 2 strikers like Man Utd does, the RW is an assist outlet

davidylan: this is common place in asia, latin america... even areas here in the USA.
Why do we have such inferiority complex?

They dont shiit in America, Only in backward Africa do ppl shiit

Beaf: That is false.
I challenge you to show me a single public pic in the US that is remotely like this one:

^^^ You claim Mata takes the dead balls, In other threads you claim Lampard takes them? And Is Torres allergic to scoring from those set pieces?

So question who takes Man Utd dead balls and whats his assist figure like?

Valencia plays as a RW in a 4-4-2

Valencia-------------------------Young/Nani

------------Rooney---Welbeck

Vs Sturridge who plays as a RW in a 4-3-3

A RW in a 4-3-3 plays as a striker in most cases and his assist figures cant be compared to that of a winger

A RW in a 4-3-3 is a goal scoring outlet unlike the RW in a 4-4-2 which is expected to be an assist provider

medjai: But a number of these assits are from set plays. About 4 or so

And everyone else has been benefitting from these assists both from set plays and from normal plays

Everyone except Fernandud who has severe allergies to them.

Juan mata alone has 11 assist

Pray tell, who are the aliens benefitting from these Mata assists? Since Torres has severe allergies to them

Abedi went to Torino at 30 and was already past it then

But Abedi at marseille was King and the best African player of the late 80's early 90's

I still remember how he tormented Nigeria at Senegal 92 when Aloy Agu was chasing his glancing header all over the place.

All Nigerian players were clasing Abedi while prince Opoku Polley and Ibrahim Ali were screwing us

So whats the koko of this long tory?

afam4eva: The same Taye Taiwo that we used to call brother at egbeda area now happens to be my junior.

I don watch taiye taiwo a.k.a "E go gree" way back 1996 at pako stadium in Iyana Ipaja.

He should be around 35yrs.

But his twin died when he was 2

Its not true

Taiye taiwos twin brother died at age 2.

Eziachi: Why the poor thing lamentation? Just typical Nigerian attitude to life. What is so undignifying of being a radio technician? What has the Omisore guy had ever achieved with his white collar job history if I may ask?
Nigerian culture doesn't tolerate austere people like Aregbesola, Buhari etc of this world who doesn't go about looking for ovation, or living high on public purse.
Why did they singled him out to hound of all ACN governors? Was he the only one that won through the tribunal?
Its probably because he is not in tune with them and they can't stand him. Typical Nigerian attitude of CLASS INTOLERANCE. How dare him from poor background rose to rule over them?

Thanks Eziachi

The funny thing is that the Omisore thats calling him a Radio technician never had any qualifications aside from prifitting from Politics

Aregbesola is a proud HND holder and way more succesul than some ppl with PhD's

EPIC FaiLLLLLL

^^ The same way you couldnt wait in the first leg anfd Bayern silenced you.

The wait wont be long its just 48hrs away

I agree with most of what Mikeappollo has said

it would be bordering on insanity to compare Okocha to Abedi

Okocha might be in the class of Odartey lamptey though

mind you, okocha wont be in my own top 5 Nigerian footballers

coogar: the weakest united side ever - still recovering the loss of tevez/ronaldo.
whereas, this real madrid side just made a meal of barcelona @ nou camp.

do you know any front four more potent than
benzema + ronaldo + ozil + di maria/higuain?

I thought you have always argued Tevez was useless at Man Utd, Now he is one of those you miss

Wait 48hrs isnt that far.

Madrid has been battering small teams all over

The first time they met a faily decent side, Bayern tore them to shreds

I think you are right

coogar: if they hire beckenbauer as the referee on the night, mourinho would slaughter bayern munich.
it's inevitable - watch out for ronaldo!

LOL

The same thing you said after Bayern beat Man Utd 2-1 in 2010

We all saw how that ended

Olalekan 0: @freshmoney,There's no such thing as "pro PDP people" on nairaland. Some of us have simply decided to be objective in our criticisms and refused to be hoodwinked by the PDP annex that calls itself the ACN

If the ACN was a better party,then how come they do not conduct primaries?why is ifianyi ararume,prince audu,sen.adeseun,george akume et al in their fold? Why have they not sanctioned Tinubu for his ostentious lifestyle? Where did he get the funds to aquire all his properties? Why did they bribe judges to win election cases,why were lagos elections rigged? Why did they accept atiku and all other ex PDP stalwarts? PLS THINK.

This is an extremely m0r0nic post

ACN has stated that they don't conduct primaries, rather they handpick candidates like in the British system, Maybe you should go and ask Tony Blair, Cameron etc how many primaries they went through.

What business has ACN to do with Tinubus lifestyle? Is Tinubu a public office holder? So why cant a private citizen spend his money anyhow he wishes?

Next thing you would tell Republican Party to sanction George Bush for his lifestyle

How come no one is talking about OBJ's lifestyle here? Funds to acquire his property? This just show how m0r0nic you are. Go and do your investigatin on him and tell us whatever you come up with

Retardeens govt took him to Code of conduct and he was acquitted So whats your own problem? If you have evidence bring it out.

If they bribe judges, then bring evidence out and stop all these useless Beer parlour gists like the drunk fisherman

if lagos election was rigged, the appropriate place to address it is in the court not in Palmwine joints . let PDP take their cases to the court

Ibime you are complaining about Turkish ref when we got a countryman of Ferenc Puskas the madrid legend to officiate our game vs Madrid

Hungarian Viktor Kassai would be the referee for the Madrid vs Bayern match on Thursday

Hungarian? When All Hungarians are honorary madrid fans due to Ferenc Puskas being a Madrid legend

ak47mann: cant you ever talk with sense? you think i cant disrespect your people? don't play with fire you cant handle

Which of them is your "people" Or are you trying to claim Steiner as your people or Is Eze Igbo Wuruwuru NL Onlylies is your ppl?

Onlylies made a senseless comment which shows how empty his skull is regarding his peoples history yet you are bleating like a castrated Donkey

Good choice

Correct guy
