No, its my third language
Now please respond

Between Aug -Oct 2007, Fabregas had 10 goals in all competitions. He was the EPL player of the month in September (maybe even top scorer can't remember). Scored against United, Liverpool, Tottenham and so on. Arsenal were top of the league as well.

The goals will eventually dry up and so could Hazard's.

His fanboys should sit down and be humble.

kingBolton:
Hazard is not enjoying a better scoring record than cesc who had just 7 league goals and 13 goals in all competition in the 2007/2008 season...
Haha..

Before I respond, is English your first language?

popizaino:
Unfortunately fabregas boost of a world cup final assist which xavi doesn't .talk another thing


For every xavi 10 assists you give me here I will give double which are even more difficult to execute from fabregas .

Are you ready?

Fabregas has more assists and goals. Xavi did not but the burden of providing those rested more with one than another. One could argue that had Xavi added those to his game, he would have been the best player in his time at least once.

You cannot deny that the burden of providing those for CFC and Belgium rest on Eden. You know this, but want to excuse him of it and bring Zidane and Xavi who were exceptional at what was expected of them - never mind the extra they could not do CONSISTENTLY.

That is why it is criminally insulting to claim Hazard is on Messi's level barring goals and assists. While one has been top of every class in what was demanded of him and more, the other has been a potential since God knows when. We cannot compare Messi to a player who went 30 matches or so without a goal regardless of coach or playing style.

To make an argument for Hazard his numbers should be 25+ every season in a "defensive side" so that we can say in a more expansive side maybe he can get to 40. There is nothing we have seen that suggests he can except hype.

He is not enjoying a better scoring form than Fabregas did in 2007/08 particularly in the same Aug-October months. You people should just relax. He is a very good player but that is where it stops. No matter the periodic table you are looking at, he is not in Messi's group, period.

popizaino:
Maybe this is what I should have said earlier cus this is how I understand the whole scenario to be.

Messi was just another hazard prior to pep Guardiola's arrival .


Watch them masturbating on my conclusion.

Messi was the 2nd best player in the world prior to Pep. That is a feat Hazard is yet to reach 7+ years in time comparison with more playing time, less injuries and more leeway/creative freedom. It is beyond similarities (which are hard to see by the way). One is a generational talent while the other is very good at the moment.

eph12:
Maybe hazard is as talented as messi, but he's not even half as intelligent as messi

Is Iwobi on Hazard's talent level?

pkasso:
Shekpites are a funny lot. Tell them to bring up the most relevant stats; goals and assists, dem no fit. Na to dey shout takeons completed, Chances created and PL and Whoscored MOTM awards Imagine!

Hazard doesn't even have up to half of Messi's assists, and he is brnging up chances created.

There is pretty much nothing Hazard does better than Messi.

Which is funny when we consider "take-ons" have 2 subunits- successful and unsuccessful. It was not stated. Voodoo stats. He brought 2017 news in 2018. Intellectual dishonesty. Then concluded that chances created is that much to look at. Meanwhile, if a player pulls out, makes a cross, drills a pass as long as it is into the box, it will be recorded as "chance created".

Here, a player with 500+ more goals, 250+ more assists, more dribbles, awards, trophies for a far longer time over another player that is not even a generational talent.

The difference between arguably the greatest player of all times and someone who is yet to top Adebayor's 2007/08 or even Fabregas' 2009/10 season in efficiency or numbers.

I am in shock.

Popizaino's my neega I hate that it had to be him.

Isomerizm:
I think you guys should tone it down a bit with the hype. He's good with possession and ball recovery, but his passes are too sideways and cautious. When he's improved on that, then will the Xavi comparison be legit.

Somebody said it. The hype train on NL is so frustrating.

Unlimited22:
Mendy neutered Salah?

If you saw something different delineate it.

Neymar1095:
Bro they re looking for a scape goat. they wanted Liverpool to win city and shout pep is a fraud but since it didn't work they want to jump on mendy who is just coming back from injury against Liverpool at anfield who did better than i expected .5

I know na. I saw celebrations here after the first 10 mins and nobody was talking when City deserved 2 other penalties in this game.

Unlimited22:
Laporte and Lovren shone today.

Nobody abuses Laporte so giving him the honorable mention was not needed. But Lovren, Stones, Mendy (yes Mendy neutered Salah)..if they get things right..they should be.

Prisoner-of-the-moment analysts.

Both teams cancelled themselves out for most of the game which means mistakes were made in high-pressure points. I don't know what Mendy should have done differently save ensuring he did not concede a penalty to the opposing team with 4 mins to go.

I am enjoying how Salah looks ordinary when they don't allow him score goals from an offside position or no Oxlade to score long-range goals that people will interpret here as product of ghenghen pressing.

Meanwhile, the much maligned John Stones or Lovren will go home without getting plaudits for putting a shift worth 75M pounds.

Nigerians, THINK!

APC swept Saraki's corruption case to pacify him. He would have been nailed otherwise. They appointed some of his recommendations to the presidency and compromised on the leadership of the NASS. But after PMB went ill every one sought their own agenda and even Ibe Kachikwu's letter hinted at that. There was nothing to pacify those self-serving rogues. Saraki left to chase a presidential ambition that would have been useless in APC now that PMB returned stronger. He is not running now to win - hence why he got the senatorial and presidential form. He just wants to test run the environment in readiness for 2023 which has always been his target.

Dogara left because APC Caucus in Bauchi were planning a coup for him following his closeness with Saraki. There was nothing else to do to keep both men in APC and their exit is a sign of their political misstep and tomfoolery.

To me, Eden is a very dangerous player. The ball sticks to his feet, he is quick, can dribble in tight spaces and has mad gravity: That guy pulls defenders like no one else in the EPL and distorts opposing defenses just by his presence. But he does not score or assist enough to be that world class player that he potentially is, or should be.

Brazil vs Belgium game for example, some people praised him because he was on a winning team. But what was he really doing all game? At the point where it was 2-1 and Brazil had come out fully to draw or go home, Belgium had spaces to really hurt them but Hazard was over-dribbling and holding on to the ball for too darn long. I remember watching that game and wishing he would just release the ball once rather than stall and get fouled.

That peccadillo in his game is the difference between what he currently is and being world class. There are many games like that including the Newcastle game this season where he turned around to dribble some more and let the chance go begging. If you like him like I do, you should desire more from his game rather than make excuses. After all, if all he does is dribble, and score the occasional goal, then it gives credence to the Zaha comparisons -albeit, unjustified- because that is pretty much all Zaha does.

Summarily, the people calling him world-class are over-stating what his accolades truly mean, while those rubbishing him completely are trivializing him to diabolical levels. If there was any level in football called quasi-worldclass, that probably is what Eden is.

Hardetayour:
Never ever put Henry and Auba in the same sentence again. Ever and ever. Henry had everything. The pace, the skills, the finishing, the strength to go with it.

TBH.

I was in shock.

Nihilstjnr:
that's already more than the 2 that you were claiming before.

plus there's more.

I said 2 off the IYRTITL "album". The other track was on MeekMill's own album and ended up being the biggest track of that album but okay.

And also there are reference tracks of Drake that Jay Z used but he is not Canadian so let's not bring it up.

krattoss:
no, Quintin concurred

Drake also claimed he gave Quintin Miller jobs, life when he had none..which Quintin didn't find funny, he disputed it and said he had a life before he met drake.

Huh?

A lot of fluff in this man.

Quentin was in Publix or Krogers. The features on IYRTITL gave him more money and clout. Quentin never admitted to having any life. You do know what Publix and Krogers are?

And since he has not worked with Drake who has had number 1 tracks and who is still irrelevant?

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/hiphop-n-more.com/2015/07/funk-flex-releases-3-new-quentin-miller-reference-tracks-for-drake/amp/

Without even reading it.

"Running through the 6 chorus" "10 bands" are from IYRTITL mixtape. The last reference track is for RICO which he used only the first 2 lines and ended up giving the track to Meek Mill.

It is common knowledge.

Nihilstjnr:
Pusha stan gangan. Drake went and bought a mic with pushas autograph on it. the interview is online.

I know the interview. I can buy a D-12 used mic primarily for Proof not necessarily because of Bizzarre even though both are members of that group.

Nihilstjnr:
I've got an empty crib in my empty crib - Drake

That line alone answers all your questions.

Yes, by post-match 14 after confirming the kid is his and in the custody of his mum who is french and her son born in France. The Crib in LA is going to be empty until the boy gets into the US, no?

Nihilstjnr:
kanye is a popstar and producer, he never came to drag the throne with true rappers

The other angles are subjective. I admit drakes flow on fücking problems was lit but off the top of my head, even on that verse he was heard biting nelly and the weeknd so...

get at me when drake isn't putting out an entire ghostwritten album.

Biting Nelly? Weekend? An entire ghostwritten album?

I just said Quentin helped in half a verse and a chorus for 2 different songs and he was given credit for it so he was not a "ghost".

dopeJemi:
All these might be for show, I don't think Push would rap about things he has no idea of, Push went hard and personal and looked like he knew what he was talking about

Let 'em know who you chose as your Beyoncé
Sophie knows better, ask your baby mother
Cleaned her up for IG, but the stench is on her
A baby's involved, it's deeper than rap
We talkin' character, let me keep with the facts
You are hiding a child, let that boy come home
Deadbeat mothafucka, playin' border patrol, ooh
Adonis is your son
And he deserves more than an Adidas press run, that's real
Love that baby, respect that girl
Forget she's a IndecentStar, let her be your world, yuugh!

This don't look like lies if you ask me, like he said "it's deeper than rap". And drake seemed humble when he said "I wasn't hiding my child from the world, I was hiding the world from my child".

Your first line already rules out objectivity.

You are hiding a child in one line and then planning to announce him through an Adidas press run in another line? Lol.

Sophie Brusseaux you have knacked once and was already well known in rap circles is who you is your Beyoncé?

A son you only confirmed was yours March 14 and in response planned to make him a big reveal in your album June 29?

Same big reveal you divulged to "your friend" who you were writing for only to hear that info in a twisted form said back to you by someone who works for that friend? Lol.

Like I said..we can address every line for facts and they won't checkout. Including the Adidas lie. But okay.

krattoss:
lol..
I know drake doesn't write his own lines, but who could have known if not meek didn't blow his cover?
And most favorite rappers got incognito ghostwriters u don't know about, even 50 cent bought some of his raps..
The difference between drake and others is that.. tho shalt not be caught and drake was caught pants down..

From mixtapes from 2007 which prompted Wayne to sign him where do people get this evidence that an unknown entity had ghost writers before and after the accusation?

Nihilstjnr:
the top 4 criteria have nothing to do with hip-hop ability.

and bar for bar, push will body drake...especially cos we all know drakes bars were written like nas but they all came from Quentin

Opinions over statistics of course.

2 songs off IYRTITL. Actually one Chorus and half a rap verse on a mixtape of 16 songs. But will ignore the fact that while this was ongoing, Drake was writing for Kanye (Pusha's boss same time).

Or "Poetic Justice" and "F*cking Problems" with supposed "better rappers" he had clearly the best verse. Or "In The Morning" with Jcole he bodied JCole on his own track.

Nihilstjnr:
the only career that would have been dissed would have been kanye.
in terms of bars aimed at Pusha T, drake had none. all were at Kanye. Kanye like Drake is a popstar not a rapper so they can tackle themselves

Charlemagne's opinion which nobody fact-checked him for but is completely untrue.

dopeJemi:
the truth is, Drake's lines are pretty, Push don't play, if that beef had gone on, Push for run into drake like car with bad brakes

I believe Drake listened when he said "imma peel it back layer by layer"

Or told more lies? For e.g, you are a deadbeat dad but you are planning to use an Adidas press run to announce a child you abandoned?

Your mum comes last place in your life? The same mother you have at least 5 different songs dedicated to?

And so on...

pkasso:
That Duppy freestyle was only a prep. I think you are downplaying Drake's lyrical ability. Like i said, those ghostwriting allegations didn't help.

Of course.

Nihilstjnr:
and he was a pusha Stan sef.

Clipse stan but I get the point.

elrony:
Even Drake calls himself a singer

You're getting bodied by a "singing" Neega is the not the same thing as I am a singer but okay.

diggz:
drake is a wise man cuz e just quietly move on after he realized push didn't show up to get pushed aside or to be a push over....

Or because court of public opinion had already believed the lies and half truths they wanted to believe. The evidence is here.

Greatihex:
explain how Mourinho was sacked at Madrid?

Was Arsene Wenger sacked by Arsenal? Yes or No. The same thing that happened to Wenger at Arsenal happened to Mou at RM.
