sebod:Abi oooo. There is progress. ![]() |
sebod:And yet they say it's six! Then, what are the teams that make up the 6 then? E be like say that question na GMAT ooooo. ![]() |
airmark:Imagine this hypocrite! When you badged in yesterday to quote me for dropping the argument, you were in your corner too, right? Mtchew. |
TRendlona:Mind you, no one can sit on Messi's throne. That throne is Messi's alone. Ronaldinho had his, and Messi didn't have to sit on Ronnie's throne, but created his own throne. If when the time comes for Neymar to finally own the team, then that wouldn't be him sitting on Messi's throne cause he ain't worthy to sit on that throne. He would only make a throne for himself, rather than sit on Leo's throne. |
raumdeuter:If Chelsea had crashed out in 2013, they would obviously have sair the same thing. If you question them as to why Chelsea won it albeit they claim EPL teams don't give a heck about it, you start getting flimsy excuses as to why Chelsea were able to win it and others couldn't. |
TRendlona:Well said. But all the while Neymar has been criticised, how many times has anyone pointed or singled out Suárez? My point? Neymar is the only one getting the hammer, which I think is unfair. |
bykebyke:Chai... Make God help you. ![]() |
bykebyke:But you hate Lucho. ![]() |
sebod:That's what airmark would say. Imagine! |
jonsnow92:And I hope you know he wouldn't develop as much as he should with Messi in the team. You don't know this? Tell me you do please... Messi owns the team, and rightly so. As far as this team is concerned and as far as the club is concerned, Messi owns the team and Neymar is the number 2 man. There is a different way he plays when Messi ain't present, albeit I must admit this season's wasn't as we thought it to be. What am I saying? Don't expect much growth from him with Messi in the team, doesn't mean he shouldn't grow and improve. As par the world best thingy, that ain't fair I must admit. He happens to be in the same era as 2 monstrous players in Messi and Ronaldo (CR7). And those guys are miles above the rest to be honest, especially taking cognizance of their consistency over the years. Meanwhile, we should also take into account the fact that at this age of Neymar today, Messi and Cristiano were far off stats-wise. Does that mean Neymar is or would be better? Nope! It just means there are different ways players develop. Nevertheless, I don't have issues with you or anyone criticising Neymar. Heck, I have said this for the umpteenth time that he has been criticised alot recently, and deservedly so. But everyone forgets that the team generally is bad, save for Messi, Piqué-Umtiti and maybe... Just those even. But why Neymar is the only one being criticised is beyond me. Like sebod rightly stated, we criticised Messi sometime during Tata's season, and honestly, it was deserving. Although alot were on as regards off-pitch issues, but that's a different kettle of fish and would be a matter for another day. I could remember we spared him some criticisms then though, especially with his tax evasion ish. Meanwhile, Neymar has been facing same issues since he got to Barça. Could it be what is taking its toll on him? I honestly don't know and wouldn't wanna speculate either. But then, we should consider it also as a possibility. Truth be told, if we were in his shoes and we get to face these kinda issues almost on daily basis, do you honestly think we would still lace our boots every week to play football? I'm not using this as an excuse for him, but just exploring certain possibilities. Back ro the nitty-gritty... Initially you came up with stats to backup Suarez's form, to say he hasn't been shiit. But hey bruv, stats can lie sometimes and doesn't tell the true story. Tell me, is Cristiano having a great season, an average one or a below average one? I would answer that for you. He is having a below average season, at least up till this time. Things might change tomorrow, but for now, his season is way below average for a player of his calibre. Yet, the stats, as compared to other players ain't bad if you ask me. But how about as compared to the man himself? That's the question you should have asked yourself with regards to Luisito too. Now remember, I stated it categorically clear earlier on that, despite Neymar's not-too-bad numbers, especially considering his assists tally, he has been way below his standard thus far. Did you catch my drift there? I didn't compare him against anyone, but himself. If I had compared him against the average player out there, he would have been very good, if not great. But then, he ain't the average player out there, hence, his comparisons is either with people of his quality or with himself. I expected you to reason in that light with Luisito too. If you do, you would obviously get a clearer picture of what I have been saying since time immemorial. ![]() Bykebyke would attest to how I had complained about Rakitic this season, and also during games against his former team, Sevilla. Busi? To be honest, whether airmark or no airmark (lol) he has been way below his standard this season. But then, it's just Neymar everyone is clamouring about. But why? I have said alot already, but I believe enough is a word for the wise. I need not go further than this. |
10d0ve:I have decided to drop this argument. There is no point arguing further. I have made my points, anyone who decide to not take cognizance of em, then that's not my problem. I'm a Barcelona fan before any player. I am no player fan before club. I love Messi and Neymar like there is no tomorrow, but even the duo don't even stand a chance where Barcelona is. There is even no competition. I try as much as possible to be objective with my views. No one criticised Pique more than myself, Johnpaul88 would bear witness to that. But then, he is a gem in my eyes. Mascherano was an apple of my eye, but I have stated it this season how I would love Umtiti to take his place. The reality is that, many of us here detest Neymar. It's no news bykebyke, coded01 and co don't like the dude. That's understandable. And it's also no news myself, homesteady and some others like Neymar. But does that mean we shouldn't call a spade by its name? Absolutely not! Alot of us look for a way to criticise Neymar with everything he does or didn't do. Neymar can be childish, that's true. He can be resentful on the field of play, that's also true. But does that take away the fact that he is a fantastic footballer? Not at all. He is still growing up, and I believe with time his attitudes would change. Heck, Ronaldo would be 32 in a few months, yet he behaves awkward almost every now and then. Does that take his potential as a footballer away from him? Not at all. Reality is, everyone can never be Messi. As cool and humble as Messi is, he is nowhere near Iniesta when it comes to being humble and cool. I am yet to see Iniesta lose his cool, at least like I have seen Messi in some few occasions. Or do I mention Kaka? Point is, everyone can never be the same. Not in any way saying Messi is bad, nah far from it... Just saying there are varying degrees of humility, and the likes. We just need to appreciate everyone in their own unique way, that's all. I case my rest. |
airmark:Don't be silly! I didn't drop it because of him even. I did because of coded01. Coded01 was just being subtle with his hits, hence I decided to drop it because some of em are beginning to seem ridiculous with their supposed view as regards what I think of the whole scenario. |
coded01:You are taking it personal too, albeit subtly. Anyway, I rest my case. You guys can say whatever now, I wouldn't even blink. |
jonsnow92:I am dropping this. I would have liked to react to this post of yours, but I think I'd pass. Neymar is complete shiit. Let's leave it at that. |
coded01:You've not said anything honestly. Try again later. |
bville:Then all the better. ![]() |
ddippset:I'm sure he will, just like he did last year against Leverkusen, alongside the likes of Munir, Sandro and co. |
bville:Well... Good thing is that, they are coming to the Camp, Messi's feasting ground. ![]() |
hensben:Propaganda!!! But issorait! |
bville:Alright. I'm game. ![]() |
ddippset:Just imagine! |
bville:Let's make it worthwhile... #500 or 1k. Are you game? |
ddippset:Walai, you don yarn well. In yesterday's match when Neymar was getting wined up by the Celtic players and even supporters, and he decided to follow suit, it happened to an extent I thought within myself that this guy is having issues inside of him that are bothering him, lest he wouldn't have gone so far last night. I really pity the guy last night. I could sense the frustration, probably not even from the match, but from something worse, possibly the merry-go-round of cases emanating from every corner of Spain. Now aa if the existing cases were not enough, they wanna add tax evasion to it. I mean, last season some Hazard fanboys attributed Hazard's poor form to his issue with Mourinho. I wonder if he faces half the issues Neymar goes through every now and then if he would still be a footballer. |
Chelseafan1:Yeye guy.. You've got nothing but love for him, yet you look for the slightest chance to put him down.Issorait! I just dey watch you like movie. ![]() |
Chelseafan1:If he is dwindling like you claimed, how come then he performs for Brazil? Do you even read what you type? If a player's performance dwindles, is it not supposed to affect him in every sphere of his play? Say something else please... Ronaldo is the 2nd best player in the world currently, but tell me he has been great this season. As far as I am concerned, he us not having a better season than Neymar, and not even his hat-trick against Atletico would change that because one match doesn't change anything. Of course I know where you are heading with this stance of yours, but as always, you go tire cause your boi has got nothing on Ney regardless of his poor form. Meanwhile, Suárez and Neymar are my players and I love them both. It's just that Neymar has been criticised alot recently, deservedly so, but then everyone has kept a blind eye to Suarez's form. And whether one is 3rd best or not, it doesn't change anything. Why was Hazard criticised last season? Was it because of he was the best player in the world? Nah! Because he was far below his usual standard. Same goes for Neymar and Suárez now. Now don't even go there at all... Neymar is poor currently, but has equalled the Champions League assist tally in a single Champions league season. Next time, come up with something more worthwhile. Else, we go tour that lane you want us to tour. Cause any day of the week, your boi no be Neymar mate. ![]() |
bykebyke:Na only God go help you. ![]() |
jonsnow92:I disagree bruv... Yes, Neymar has been poor by his usual standards. But he hasn't been bettered by Suárez this season. Your first line means Neymar doesn't offer more than just goals too, right? Issorait! Your lines 2 & 3 are practically the same thing. As per line 4, it ain't about goal drought. It's about his general play and contribution. Line 5 -Neymar loses the ball more often quite alright, but that is also attributed to the fact that one of his duty in the team is to break or open up defence with his creative and dribbling skills. And of course, not all are successful, hence... As per the unnecessary fights... It goes both ways bruv. Like I said earlier on, he dribbles as part of his duty in the team. Yet, as much as Suárez defend from the attack (that's by pressing), Neymar is more involved defensively nowadays. Everyone would attest to this fact. Neymar constantly creates chances. In La Liga presently, his successful dribbles can only be rivaled by Messi. That's part of the game. Chances created, I think he has the most presently too. That's something. Assists, he has the most in the team presently. That's something too. Yes, he ain't on top form. Infact, he has been poor thus far, but I disagree Suárez has done better. There is a reason stats sites like Whoscored, Squawka and the likes have always rated him highly regardless of his supposed poor showing. He brings alot to the team too. Did you notice our attack became blunt when Neymar left? Why? Because Messi was always there to throw the mass, but there was no one in the form of Neymar to push it forward like he does, hence... The attack got blunt overtime. Remember, I'm not saying Neymar is having a great season. He has been poor in most cases this season. But I have to reiterate that; he has been better than Suárez still. |
10d0ve:Gbam! Exactly! But no one is talking about Suarez's poor form. |
10d0ve:Alot keep talking about Neymar... Honestly, when I left the viewing centre, I engaged myself in a series of thoughts about how Suárez has been very poor, while everyone gives him a blind eye and scold Neymar to the death. Neymar deserves it most of the time, this season. But doesn't Suárez also deserve to be scolded too? Like he has been way below average even. |
