In life sha, we learn everyday...

Eruditor thanks for opening my eyes, i never saw height as a talent b4...

Thinking is not hard. If you say one of the talents a player has is quickness. You can say that because that talent predisposes him (sets him up) to beat players he is quicker than which could lead to his success as a footballer.

In the same vein, a player's height sets him up to take advantage of players he is taller than. That is why taller players are generally better than shorter ones as target men. Same goes for keepers and defenders.

These are not new facts, many learned people have this opinion as well. Google is a resourceful tool and a strong companion.

Lruditor. Chelsea sold more valuable players than City, yet spent lesser than Fraudiola did. Use your brain bro, not everytime you rush to kiss Dayo's azzz.

I still laughed today when i remembered you once said, "Tallness is a talent".

Did Chelsea sell more players (numerically) than City? Did Chelsea purchase as many players as city per whatever currency? You are the one who told your missus to yell "Raumdeuter" during you people's sessions if she wanted you to stroke harder. It is you we should be worried about WRT arse kissing.

At the same time, an individual who is 7 feet tall could also be thought to have talent because height in basketball generally means a capacity for achievement (although we probably wouldn’t normally have thought of height as a talent).

...we might define talent as “anything that predisposes an individual to success in a position or organization.”

Facts are not subject to voting. I said height is a talent and nothing since then has changed my opinion on that. Thank you.

While we are at it, is Kyrchowiak still the best DM in the world?

airmark:


You meant sales worth of 345m, was from players of less value, right? Foreign materials are dancing shakushaku in your head.

City made 345M selling Gael Clichy, Kolarov, Joe Hart, Yaya, Fernando, Pantilimon, Sagna, Jesus Navas, Zabaleta etc?

Did the fishes in the Atlantic ocean eat your brain when you were swimming through it, AirHack?

nateevs:
All this net spend talk is just talk for people to feel fancy about. Only fans bother themselves with these terms to feel smart. In actual terms, the value of spend is reported in the club's books over the length of the signed contract. So City might sign a player for £60m on a 6-year term and Chelsea sign a player for £50m on a 5-year term in the same window. If both clubs do not sell a player in the that window, net spend doesn't equal +£10m in Chelsea's favour, both clubs will report £10m for that year on their books. So net spend talk is useless in this instance.

A sensible post like this, 2 likes. The other post from the breath of dense air, 8 likes.

simonjassy:
the netspend is important as it is factored into the next season transfer budget for the manager,at least this is done in football manager and ML.the only exception is when the manager has access to a cash cow but this isnt possible in ML.why do you think small clubs like fulham,stoke dont go about signing the 60m,70m players?.
Secondly,I am shocked that u just whitewashed my opinion simply because i am a blue,that in itself is the height of stupid hasty conclusions

This dude is quoting FM for me and is telling me that is why clubs without money don't buy 70M players?

Guy, Pogba does not even need to stick his schlong in you. You are already dencia.

Sod off.

PlainJAY:
Hear it from the horse's mouth



According to Aparisports CEO
- PEP 1
- CHELSEA 2

Is that my post?

macjireh:
by d time sarri ends d season with at least any trophy,,,den we will still say sarri >>> pep because pep couldn't win a spoon in his first season for city

LOL beat Tottenham first before you start prating.

If you are lucky and you beat them and you lose in the final to city, the next posts will be on how much Pep spent in 2016.

Emaprince:
Dayo's ball boy, are you back from coma?

Mumu.. Sari took a team that finished below the top four and made them title contenders again. While Dayo's favourite coach took a city with good players and huge financial backing, who were semifinalist in champions league and reduced them to nothing.

He needed more and more bank breaking to win a local trophy which is inconsequential according to your master.

You no get sense.

His royal denseness.

City had good players where most of them are clubless now or in trivial clubs? And Sarri's team finished fifth with 70pts and an FA Cup, that same team or another one? Which title are they contending for?

LOL. How many City players are more expensive than Kepa or Morata? Do you know what it means to break the bank?

Someone should attach Jacob Zuma's meme to represent some Chelsea fans and being dense.

thorrvik55:
Here on this forum we dont consider local league results cos they are irrelevant, talk more of community plate abi shield result...

I guess u did not read dat my post to d end, i apologised for quoting irrelevant local league results...

You are being smart by an inch. But an inch is not enough. If you know where I called those results local or irrelevant, quote me. Otherwise, deal with the facts.

homesteady:
If it was so easy to win UCL because you have a Supposed world best winner in your squad, why didn't Mourinho do it with Madrid when he had not just one but two world best winners(Ronaldo and Kaka) and a potential world best winner(Modric) in his squad?

That post was riddled with lies. That guy lies a lot just like Peter Obi.

Heynckes won the UCL both with RM and Bayern so they are not 3 but the liar had to make it 3 to prop his watery argument.

He said Mou won European tournaments across 4 continents. That is a way to package 2 Europas and 2 UCLs. Unfortunately, Pep never played in the Europa so I don't know the basis of comparison. Pep has 2UCLs to Mou's 2 which he even achieved in a far shorter time.

All that Mou had hundred points in La Liga is for lazy CFC dumbos to cheer at. The previous record was 99 set by Pep. Then Mou did 100 and guess what? Tito Vilanova equalled that same 100 the following season. They know the record is worthless yet they mention it at every slight turning.

People always rush to claim Pep retired because of Mou yet in the 2 years they were at Spain, Pep won 1UCL, 1 la Liga, 1 Copa Del Rey, 2 Spanish Supa cups, 1 world Club Cup, 1 European Super Cup to Mou's 1 la Liga and 1 copa del rey.

In that same time frame Pep converted Santiago to second Nou Camp by never losing there. Same thing he turned old Trafford to. LOL

hensben:
Was not correlating there? Barca were top team before pep took over. Real Madrid were struggling when Mou took over. Fact. Pep weakened Bayern Munich before leaving to sugar daddies (man city).

Jesus, save this soul!

Barca top team (yet no title in 2 years before Pep). Madrid not top team (had won 2 titles in 3 years before Mou).

Emaprince:
Pep can never win even a local spoon without money nor with under dog team. He just likes flying around the biggest clubs with the biggest spending power in every league.

The same ediot that ran away from a Chelsea job because Chelsea needed 10 new players. Imagine that!!!

He would have been a massive failure if he managed Chelsea. Well, he was a huge failure in his first EPL season until the total overhauling which MONEY gave him though.

Cheque book manager!!

Prince of foolishness.

Sarri will at best finish 3rd this season. You lot are praising him for trying in his first season. Guess where Pep finished his first season? Yea..and you termed it failure.

Why? Levels.

Those who know, know.

Debroslink:
Thank you Sleekdot, Homesteady, Ruudie and Popziano for your input so far.

Ibime dey fall hand sometimes.

Madrid that were getting knocked out @ R16 bought Ronaldo and Kaka, 2 world best... How will they not fare better? That semi final place that Mourinho took them to should be considered a massive failure given the fact that Madrid have won 4 UCL trophies since he was booted out.

In one breath, they praise Zidane yet he won with CR7 and virtually the same squad Carlo already won with (which Mou failed at). In another breath, they downplay Pep for winning 2 in his first 3 years because he had Messi. I have never seen a dumber sect than these lot.

simonjassy:
airmark is actually right about the net expenditures on players,if you play football manager or master league you would understand.

If you have players of less value to sell your netspend will be insignificant.

Chelsea fans should try to have sense every once in a while.

PlainJAY:
Since 2016/17

Pep - 1 EPL 1 EFL CUP

Chelsea - 1 EPL 1 FA CUP

One community shield as well. We must count it. United fans celebrated it as a trophy the other season. So Pep 3 CFC 2. Local trophy or not.

randomperson:
What do you then call falling below expectations especially where the scrutiny and pressure is highest..

Mourinho fails wherever the pressure is too much... Madrid, Chelsea and Man utd are the evidences...

Chelsea fans liking these one's comments now were the ones praying and begging that mourinho leaves Chelsea before he dragged them to relegation...

The guy you are engaging is the one his own compatriot calls Idime because of his frequently dimwitted way of arguing.

Afolabi6046:
ManCity was in the UCL semi finals before Apari came o but we should care about local achievements because Apari is involved.

Last season, with all the points and goals packing Apari chop am home and away comot UCL, the season before that nko? Unlimited22 remind me abeg

Man City were also 4th before he came.

The season before the last one he crashed out 6-6 (so Monaco chopped as much as he did) to eventual semifinalists Monaco FC who had Benardo (who has become world-class according to you people ever since he started playing with Pep). Mbappé who you people claim is hiding Neymar, Mendy (most expensive LB according to you people) etc etc

Afolabi6046:
na this Nairaland i learn open play goals, now it is total league points. Chee EPL trophy noh be trophy again, the only gold one i know belongs to ARSENAL and noh be 100 points dem take collect am Person don rake 7 goals from us, how many he don score back. Apari na customer dada, hidden sabi give am chop

When it suits you, you count goals, when it does not, the color of EPL trophy is key.

Pep is 3-1-(potentially 1 as far as EPL is concerned). CFC are 1-5 and potentially 4.

thorrvik55:
Since pep joined city :


city 1 - chelsea 3


chelsea 2 - city 1


chelsea 0 - city 1


city 1 - chelsea 0


chelsea 2 - city 0


See me quoting local irrelevant league results since pep joined city when i should be quoting city's champions league semi- final and final results since pep joined...



My bad i guess, lemme go and search for city's champions league semi-final and final results since pep joined...

Add the community Shield game in which City won 2-0 as well.

sleekdot:
Before Mourinho went away, he was able to witness a total Pep dominance of the same league he claimed superiority over

Mourinho reached the end of his days in disgrace, sacked at his last 3 jobs, Lost the dressing room at his last 3 jobs

Became a total joke the type of coach opponents are wishing he will stay on. Some fans are willing to pay to keep him at Man utd
The object of ridicule
He became the specialist in failure, he became the man who celebrated Europa cup the same cup he took shots at Benitez Chelsea over
He became the man Sevilla was using to get their first CL quarter appearance
He became the man clubs are throwing parties when he gets sacked

His last 3 yrs of top management he finished 24points, 19 points and was another 19points behind the leader before putting him out of his misery

Everything he abused people of, he became.

A yesterdays man

Nihilist who is the mod here to release me from spambot

He also wanted to celebrate top 4. It became his target this season.

nihilistjnr:
Actually Delph was following Walcott.

Yes but he (Laporte) told him to leave Walcott and focus on DCL.

nihilistjnr:
Shut up


1st pic is :Laporte running away from DCL

2nd Pic he gestures Delph to mark DCL. He still does not look back to see where the guy is

3. He starts running out of position to mark air

DCL is being trailed so the next plan is to cover Otamendi's weak side. As it will so happen, Sigurdsson who should have been marked by Otamendi would have been free. By keeping a close tab on him, Digne had to loft the ball to DCL speculatively. If Laporte did not follow Sigurdsson, that would have been the routine pass Digne would make.

If you want to say Delph is not a natural LB that is fair. Other than that, he was the player following DCL while Laporte covered for Otamendi. If Ota had maintained his position, Laporte would have been on DCL. Period.

SmooshCHN:
Uncle, all those epistle no concern me. All the other NBA superstars are idiōts abi? Nobody wants to watch refs blow the fúcking whistle every 5secs. I don't know how you guys watch him flop his way out of everything. Not like Houston's game is fun to watch to begin with and then you add a whistle blowing like a 5secs metronome.

If I posted this they will say I complain too much.

The other game when Spurs played Lakers, Jesus. DeRozan was untouchable. I am not a Lebtard but I felt for him that day.

nihilistjnr:
So there was UCL in maradona's time abi o ya were?

European Cup no dey?

Did he not play for a league winner in Napoli?

Did he not play for Barcelona?

nihilistjnr:
shut up.

See where the ball is. DCL is almost kissing the back of Laportes head, and the French mugu is still unaware of where his man is.

The only thing DCL is good at is jumping. Almost all his EPL career goals are headers. The idea of Laporte sending 5'9 Delph to mark him is just morronic.

So should he have left Sigurdsson? Abi you did not see him there at min 64:30?

Do you deny that he signalled at Delph concerning DCL? I thought you claimed he was not aware of DCLs positioning?

Should he have expected Delph to leave his position so that Digne will simply cross to Walcott?

I dont understand.

nihilistjnr:
Says who?

Zlatan has 12 league titles - That's the result of work done over 400 games

Klose has 1 WC - that's 7 games

So because Klose won a 7 game tournament in a summer, he is now greater than someone who won 12 league titles

ori e o da

So why do you regard Maradona as greater than Messi? Does he have Messi's UCL titles (4) or La Liga titles (9)? Total goals? Freekicks?

So why will anyone in this world have an opinion that has Maradona as being greater than Messi? Is it not because of a WC?

Like I said, if someone makes a case for his preference for Klosé over Zlatan based on that, it is within his rights to and cannot be termed as totally implausible ogbeni.

nihilistjnr:
What does generalized mean, or are you mad?

https://streamja.com/ayPe

That is the video

It took 13 seconds from Lookman getting the ball to the ball being in the back of the net.

Laporte does not even look at DCL once

How can you mark a person when yo dont know his location on the pitch.


Do you understand the concept of football as a sport at all?

Now I have seen that you are trolling. Mtcheww.

Look at video by Min 64:28-30 of the match you can clearly see Laporte using his right hand to signal to Delph about DCLs position. We can tell because he expressed his frustration to Delph when DCL scored.

La Porte had to cover for Walker and Otamendi because Sigurdsson was going to be free courtesy of Otamendi scuffing his lines.

Even match commentaries blamed Otamendi.

Mtcheww.

airmark:
No vex, are you from ogbomosho too?

You know "in person" and "as a person" don't mean the same thing in English, right?

nihilistjnr:
What a morrronic thing to say

As if Klose not more 'accomplished' in the world cup than any other forward. kuku name him the everlasting world best for life.

I cant even say take this letter again.

Take the whole alphabet B.

It is moronic as long as it does not come from you.

If someone says Klosé is better than Zlatan based on that he is allowed to. The WC is bigger than all Zlatan's league titles. If Zlatan had UCL wins like a Messi or CR7 that could also change the dynamics. They are all plausible arguments.


An irresponsibly daft statement for example is:
"Hazard is in Messi's talent bracket" because no data will back this up. But since it came from you, we just have to pretend it is not hypermoronic.

simonjassy:
zlatan and klose are both cfs,they play the same role.please switch klose to sweden and ibra to germany.the difference is clear.By the way following mr deuter's logic,MORATA IS GREATER THAN AGUERO!.

Anything you want to conclude is fine. If you have data to back it up.

airmark:
To me, i like Klose more than Zlatan ibile, in person.

Issallowed.

nihilistjnr:
He should have been 'ball watching'? No wonder you always talk like someone who thinks football is played like golf. The ball is on the far side of the pitch, a centreback does not look once at the centre forward he should be marking until the ball is in the net, and you're asking me such a question?

Dont ask me, ask Dayo fam




Hold this O sir

Your retort is dumb I'm sorry.

You showed a still image and generalized that, Laporte never looked at DCL and was still to be blamed for DCL outjumping Delph. As though his gaze should have been on a player that was some yards away from the ball.

I don't know if you are being deliberately obtuse or just playing devils' advocate.
