Elampiro, I no go bother you untop Rooney matter...

Phil Jones is my main concern - he is probably sick again..

Don't you think he should go back to Blackburn on loan before calling it quits finally?

Diademk07:
It was Shaw fault as well. Tell us about Rooney performances BTW?

This is another GEJ project.

Useless lying government.

The Federal Government has mobilised back to site Reynod Construction Company (RCC), the contractor handling the dualization of the Benin/Ehor section of the Benin/Auchi/Okene highway.

It would be recalled that the company that started the dualization work on the highway in 2012, moved out of site late 2014 due to non-payment.

Mr Denis Orji, the Federal Controller of Works, confirmed this in Benin on Saturday.

Orji said the mobilisation of RCC back to site has seen more than 300 workers that were laid off after they closed site in 2014, reabsorbed.

The controller said the first task before the construction company was to see that the potholes and failed sections of the highway are made motorable.

“Though their scheduled is between Benin/Ehor section of the road, but they are to ensure that the section up to Iruekpen is passable by carrying out maintenance work.

“If you go through the road as we speak, you will see that the company have done a lot of work on the area they are maintaining, what is left for them majorly is to put bitumen.

“You will see that they have moved equipment back to site, but by next week, you will see more of the equipment,” he said.

It would be recalled that the Federal Government, under Goodluck Jonathan administration, awarded contract for the dualization of the highway from Benin to Lokoja.

Four different construction companies were awarded contract for the four lots/sections up to Lokoja.

The road, particularly the highway between Benin to Okene has become very bad.

While one has played in a worldclass team in most of his career.

Also, the stat is calculated by minutes played. That's why subs appearances are also listed.

The basic truth is I watch most Madrid matches to know Di Maria is too inconsistent and that was why I was against his signing.

Diademk07:
Defence is only important to the attack if you have ball playing defenders or attacking fullbacks!

Sorry, the likes of Jones/Smalling offered nothing in the attack for us. You should stick to defending the no of clean sheets they managed.

Diademk07:
How about checking the keypass stat if you really must tow this stat lane? And yes, Hazard was a lot better in all department whether keypasses or in his dribbling.

Personally, I prefer Hazard to Di Maria. Why? He's a player who can pull an underperforming team to a title like he did for Lille or Chelsea in the second half of their title run when the likes of Fabregas, Costa and Matic stopped playing. He almost did same for the underperforming Belgium team at the recent Euro but others were just too shite/uninterested.

Last season was probably an anomaly for Hazard or maybe he was suffering from an injury but he's better than Di Maria who can only does his magic in a well oiled team and yet still inconsistent in that world-class team.

You probably love Di Maria because he's very similar to your bae, Rooney. Their bottom level are the worst I've ever seen of any pro player to the extent that they can't even deliver the basic right such as simple passes whenever they are off form yet would get an assist/goal at the end of the day after stinking the whole place.

Diademk07:
It's you that statement should be directed to.

There's lot of thing Carrick brings to the team. His spatial awareness, control and passing helps to bring the ball to our attackers in better spaces where they could easily do the damage.

Take for example, an incisive vertical pass in the middle opens up the opponent faster than all those sideways passes of Herrera. His movement and awareness on the ball breaks the defensive shape of the opposition. His ability to switch play with his visionary passes to the wing in acres of space makes it easy for our wingers/inverted forwards.

He simply bring a lot of control to our midfield with his build-up play and playmaking even when he's basically an holding CM.

Diademk07:
How did they make us win the gme when they couldn't keep clean sheets despite the spider man, De gea behind them? Care to explain that to me?
Should I fetch you a game where we managed to keep a clean sheet without the 'mighty Jones' in it that very season?

Abegi!

Diademk07:
I stated that Hazard had roughly the same stats or if not better and yes he was better with his 20 goals and 16 assists, he was far better than Di Maria while playing in a lesser team.

The funny thing is, if average to nothing headless players such as Moura and Pastore could get 11/12 assists for Psg in that league, what is the fuss about Di Maria's 18 assists?
Why couldn't he do his magic vs City then? Why look rubbish in both legs against City awful defence?

Abegi!

Only those that don't watch Di Maria wouldn't know that he's an inconsistent sod who would stink the place for the entire 90 mins yet deliver an assist at the end of it. The only time he was ever consistent was for a 6months as a makeshift box-box CM alongside pass masters like Modric/Alonso.

I was vehemently against his signing and I was happy when he was rightly binned because he's not a player you build a team around to make it function but a player that's only added to an already well oiled functioning team.

Diademk07:
I don't get this at all. I ask again if Jones was important to our unbeaten runs, why concede goals then?

The last 3 games still had us conceding goals and we looked boring as hell in those games which means Carrick was the reason for our attacks in those games.

Like I stated earlier, stop trying to play smart with my intelligence.

Diademk07:
I stopped reading "at better in the knockout stage"!

Are you forgetting he was mostly injured in the knockout stage and was rubbish vs the Swiss team. Did you even watch the worldcup at all?

As for your french league claim, pray tell how good is Psg team compared to the rest in that league? This is a team that has the best midfield as well as the best forwards, that's not to talk about how average the league is. With a lesser forward in front of him, Hazard was able to acquire roughly the sme stats, if not better.

Di Maria is a brainless inconsistent sod as simple ABc.

Diademk07:
He was the worst defender considering we were in a group consisting of nobodies such as Bosnia and Iran but the moment we faced a decent team like the Arggentines and French, the team looked the trash it was in the first place.

Diademk07:
Unbeaten run that had us concede goals vs Liverpool, 2 goals vs City et al?

Don't try to play smart, we were on unbeaten run because of Carrick best form in a 4-1-4-1 formation that probably brought out the best in him, resulting in our better attack. It wasn't like Jones/Smalling defensive play made us not to concede goals to make us win those games.

Diademk07:
It was also Van gaal's fault for his rubbish play vs City in the CL or the recent copa America?

Ancelotti also messed up for benching him for the majority of the 1st half of the season?

And for the records, Di Maria was no better than Messi nor Masharano who was Argentina's best player. Was it against us (Nigeria), Swiss, Bosnia et al DiMaria was better than Messi?

Like I told your earlier, Di maria could be stinking the place for majority of the game only to provide a goal or an assist at the end of the game, just like the Swiss match. Only a patient coach can deal with that shite!

Diademk07:
Africa champion my foot!
Talk bout Bosnia, Iran and Nigeria with Yobo in defence in a group.

Diademk07:
I'm sure I can dispute that claim. Need to sleep for now though.

Diademk07:
The group was a poor one that has Bosnia who hasn't qualify for a worldcup before etc.

Not to mention we had Yobo in defence!

Diademk07:
Without Blind passing in the defence, we won't come out of the defence either. No doubt Smalling complement Blind with his pace, strength and height but apart from this, his positioning, reading of the game are all suspect and that's the area I rate Jones' play, I.e, his reading of play although his positioning is poor as well. Both are pathetic on the ball though with Smalling being the worse out of the two.

Blind on the other hand has good positional discipline and his reading of the game is superb. Not to talk of his passing skills and vision. That's a lot he brings to the team already. And apart from his poor midfield performance vs Dottmund, he's been one of our best player in defence in the pre-season.

And no, it wasn't just one performance for the u21, it was more than that and Jones was poor in every one of it.

RAKITIC:
which knockout stage ? the same Di maria that was terrible lost possesion over 50 times against Switzerland and was injured in the quaterfinal against Belgium. Mascherano was the best Argentina hands down

Diademk07:
Nigeria's defence?
The fact is we were poor and don't let me start with Yobo. Argentina had it easy in the group stage but looked inept against the Swiss team until Messi magic carved out Di Maria chance. Di Maria was stinking the whole place before his goal in that particular game.

The consistent thing about Di Maria is his inconsistency and his stupid brain regardless of his stats.
