I wash my hand from Ephraim matter since Sunday. He is all yours bro
Welcome cheesy
I heard the doctors in Kano are running from malaria, headache and lassa patients. What's the update?

Wrong.

Rio played RCB mainly and Vidic played LCB mainly.

That was the major factor in terms of their division of labour.

In terms of defending Rio was more comfortable against skillful and pacy players while Vidic was more comfortable against tall and powerful players.

The major decider though was usually Rio covers right, Vida covers left.
So its either those guys naturally played on the Vidic side or he was targeted?

It's simple.

Relate it,to the question you asked earlier, u will understand.

Jones go for the tackle/block first, .... But doesnt mean he is better than Smalling.
So who is better between the two?

2014-- 2016 when we play both Jones and Smalling as CB pairing....why was Jones the one going to tackle the top strikers huh
Are you trying to ask who was the better defender between Jones and Smalling?

Ferdinand handled Torres better than Vidic did.
Liverpool Torres used to dash Vidic yellow and red cards.
It is known.
Didn't say otherwise. Only observation I made was that Vidic faced those guys more. This is known too right or I am wrong?

@bolded....you sabi ball....

Vidic just enjoy those one on one battle with strong attackers ( drogba).... Against Fernando Torres and the rest, you wont see him.

Ferdinard reads the game better, more calm, .....

The same people will say Michael Carrick is not a top defensive midfielder because he dnt jump into tackles like the rest
The game Ferdy faced Torres, he struggled. Why was Vidic the one facing the top strikers?

I'm not most of y'all who only read stories about those players..
I watched them 247 and they not infallible as what your types are portraying here......
The same vidic was terrorized by any striker who had pace and skill which was where Ferdinand came in...
Rio was Fast,agile....so he had no problems with such players....
Vidic excelled against physical players which was his forte.....
Don't let Nostalgia blind you
Nobody said anything about being infallible.

Did you watch Aiyegbeni drag Ferdy? My guess is no

Na face mask and inshallah get us.

What I don't understand is this weird 8pm curfew. Shey Corona get working hours ni?

Word on the street is NCDC is pretty much running out of test kits and with the results today it's become apparent that there is some truth to this.

So if you're banking on NCDC and their testing as any type of indicator, O.Y.O is your case
Swissh why are these doctors running from lassa na? Is it contagious too?

The aim was to outscore opponent not to outscore last season..........

-2011/2012 we scored 89, and we were not the highest scorers in EPL (Man city scored 93).........We were conceding late goals this season

-2012/2013 we scored 86, and we were the highest goal scorers in EPL...........we were scoring late goals this season.

- The way opponent defenders prepare when facing Rooney is different from how they prepare when facing Rooney and Van persie

- It is easier for De gea to make a match winning save than keeping clean sheet
So you're saying that United will wait to see how many goals City scored, then out score them? And as City were not scoring as before, they decided to relax as there was no need to score more?

You dnt get the gist....

2 things involved

1. Van persie addition to what we have is scary, will make teams to be more defensive when we face them (Rooney and Van persie were the top 2 highest goal scorer 2011/2012)

2. Fergies instruction was pass to Van persie,... the goals wont be that distributed among the players
You claimed that Fergie brought in Van P because since we were leaking goals and it was De gea fault, and we needed to score more. We ended up scoring less.

Even a learner will know that De gea doesn't keep much clean sheet.....

Thats the difference in us loosing 2011/2012...... we would have won 2011/2012 with Vandersar in goal...

Ferguson didnt buy another CB for 2012/2013,.... instead he bought Van persie, Powell and Kagawa to improve the attack,..... to outscore our opponent, because De gea wont keep clean sheet.
So without Van P, United scored 89 goals.

Van P came, we scored 86 goals.

Fergie last season was not won on defence but on RVP goals. Most of your matches that season were score me, I score you with results like 3-2 a regular occurrence.

You conceded 43 fücking goals that season, worse than all your rivals.
Was that an own goal?

Can't believe I am agreeing with you but you nailed it.In modern defending the centrebacks act as a partnership, one attacks the ball, the other tracks the runner. Both Centre backs dont do the same job. Most people will always believe the more aggressive partner is better than the calm ones who read the game better that's why it always comes down to preference and style of play we like.
The issue now is that one gets to do more than the other every time.

what really is his strong attribute?
He's a very good presser. Recently his pass success rate has improved. When in position, he transitions the ball quickly from defense to attack. He shields the defense very well.

Correlation does not imply causation and certainly not enough to warrant even being nominated for PFA. He does not even deserve top 10. This is just Liverpool/British media agenda finding common ground to overpromote a slightly above average player.

We could argue that Fabinho and Adrian's poor form, coupled with Joe Gomez injury is more of a causative factor for their short blip.
One could argue that those ones you mentioned have been in and out of the team a lot this season to consider them as a key figure. Just because he's never among the goal scorers or making assists, you people don't want to rate him.

Many people lack comprehension and will take this your statement out of context. Lately every death in Nigeria is associated with Covid-19 which I don't understand. Lassa fever has actually been ravaging Nigeria this year before Coronavirus jumped in. As at March Lassa fever has killed 162 people in 2020 along with
900 confirmed cases.
What's causing those deaths in Kano?

Everybody with an agenda.

NOT every death is a COVID-19 death. Nigeria has been dealing with Lassa Fever long before this COVID-19.
So to be clear what's killing those people is lassa fever?
