No different from what Conte did with Costa.

Pep simply did not want E’too for his disruptive, egomaniacal and insubordinate tendencies pere. Had nothing to do with his race.

Yaya is just Lot’s wife because Busquets who Pep used to replace him will go down as one of (if not) the best DM of his generation and even generations before him.

For those who barely watched the video;

1. E’too refuses to play for Rijkaard from the bench. Even Ronaldinho reprimands Samuel who does not listen.
2. Rijkaard is fired season ending.
3. Pep is hired and plans to offload Samuel, Deco and Ronnie
4. Ronnie and Deco leave without arguing. E’too does not.
5. Pep plans to use Henry as his 9 and Messi as the false 9. The club want to offload E’too to get another winger in his stead.
6. Pep tells E’too to give Henry the number. E’too refuses.
7. E’too acts disruptive but he is performing during the preseason. Pep let’s him stay and play as the 9.
8. Season ends. Pep sells E’too
9. The end.

19 in 47 matches is not better than 18 in 28 matches, if you like check the minutes played too, all covered. Lruditor.


You may even be bald like Dayo and Pep, because you also lie like them.

Henry played 14 matches as CF, he could only score 7 that season. Don't come here to tell us nonsense about him playing from the wings throughout. That was 1 goal in every two games on average from his favourite position. Fraudiola saw this low-scoring output in his attacking team as unimpressive, in the next preseason, he started sending Messi and co to beg the Etoo he initially humiliated. The Cameroonian slapped him with 35 goals that season. The shameless fraudiola had to ask other players to thank Etoo for his professionalism that helped the team, despite a difficult season. Etoo laughed it off.

So you are clumsy with numbers, cannot read, logically bereft and now cannot comprehend a simple video.

How many seasons did E’too play under Pep Mr “Next Preseason”?

Hahaha @ matches and minutes. I am not arguing that with you. Just the same way it was insufferably daft of you to argue 2 UCLs in 3 years to 2 UCLs in 22 years with Raumdeuter.

Or else 18>19. What say you?

airmark:
Dayo is even better than him in handling numbers. Lruditor is a mistake of a nairaland member.

I guess this is where you would have resorted to looking for my pics to post online.

As if maligning a NL account will make up for the common sense God did not give you.

sod09:
you are the wisest man here

I don’t think your endorsement helps him at all.

Considering...

airmark:
The gibberish you typed up here has nothing to do with the fact that your premise was faulty. You claimed that Henry wasn't on a decline because he outscored Etoo. 19 goals in 47 matches in an attacking barca team of those years, was unimpressive. Etoo didn't score more than Henry because he missed a lot of games due to his fitness. For you to have used that moment to prove Henry wasn't on a decline, is another confirmation of your renowned wack judgement of football issues.

I gat no time to waste on you.

18>19 that is footballing judgement.

A winger scoring 19 goals in his first season (where he is the top scorer and runner up assister) of the team is on decline.

Yet same player playing from same position the following season scored 26 in 36 starts.

So in your judgement, going from 19 to 26 in less appearances is declination.

Maybe you need to summon that niece of yours to help spin you out of this web you just found yourself in.

We built our roster through the Drafts. It is as simple as that.

Curry was drafted 7th even when people wanted us to get Rubio instead.

Klay was drafted 11th and people recommended we traded him for Kevin Love which we did not.

Draymond was a second round pick. A friggin second round pick.

There is a bleacher report article 5 years ago that was projecting super stars of the NBA (today) and only one GSW player made that list...KD.

Not a soul expected us to be this good. Not one.

Kyrie was a #1, Bron #1, Wiggins #1 and was traded for Kevin Love who was top 5 in his Draft. TT was #4.

Yet the narrative even last season was about how high-powered and super we are.

When we win, Kerr is an average coach and anyone can win with GSW (the players can play without a coach). But when we lose, nobody realizes that it is the same players “who can play without a coach” that lost.

That is why I don’t respect the opinions of many (pseudo)analysts.

According to Airmark

18>19

And MENSA level mathematician endorsed it.

eitsei:
and this gave him how many league titles?

I know, in some alternate universe, this is a sensible question.

Ibime:
No mind that mumu. I no want answer am. Eto that came back from 7 months knee injury to almost catch Henry.

Wanna bet it was for 7months?

airmark:
Henry : 47 matches - 19 goals

Etoo : 28 matches - 18 goals


Even my niece can easily do the maths and give a more sensible conclusion on those data.

#Thisiseruditor

Just the other day, you were accusing Raumdeuter of saying 2-2>0 when he was showing you that winning 2 UCLs in your first 3 years of coaching is more significant than winning 2 in 22 years. Today, you want to use the same logic you scoffed at to make a moot point.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj-Kxk8PYvE

But with Henry mostly deployed on the wing throughout the season, he was unable to reproduce the goal-scoring form he achieved with Arsenal.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thierry_Henry

I trust you to use Hazard’s playing position in a few weeks to defend his poor stats even after your next move will be to discredit Henry’s subpar showing based on that very fact. It is your stock-in-trade. To use your own logic in one post to argue against yourself in another.

PS: both links are connected.

hensben:
Who is city? Are they Barcelona or Juventus not to give yaya fairwell. Yaya gave city name too

Will you feel any less intelligent if I prove to you that City did give Yaya a farewell ceremony?

eph12:
How exactly is he no Iniesta or Buffon as regards their contributions to their different teams?

Did you at any time hear Ini whine about birthday cake? Criticize any coach? Argue with UEFA and co for not making him player of the year?

Did you hear Ini rebel against his playing role or nag about not playing penalties?

When Tata Martino sheet the bed did you hear about Barca top players rebelling?

Did Ini ask for exorbitant pay increment or even look like he remotely cared about being given a lavish send off?

Was Ini arguing he should have been starting or irked that Coutinho was bought to replace him even when he Ini knew he was past his prime?

Was Buffon ever a liability for his team? Was he not worth his starting berth? How humble do you think he is? What about Pirlo that was sold by Allegri and still used by same Allegri when he went to Juve? Why did Pirlo not make the same claims against Allegri?

You are staring at the numbers but I am looking at the common factor.

TalabiAudu:
You too get sense sir

Henry has casted but outscored E’too his first season in Barca (2007) in all comps.

Scored 25 goals playing from the wings (2008) when Etoo played through the middle and Messi was a false 9.

Zlatan was purchased for £90M

And Aguero did not adjust his game to become who Pep wanted him to be.

Is that the sense you are celebrating? A post full of lies and half truths?

diggz:
Did he win 2epls in one season?

No he did not.

He simply won 18 consecutive games.
16 Away games.
Garnered 50pts home and away.
Garnered 100pts in total.
Won 32 games.
Won the league with 5 games to spare.
Scored the most goals in a season.
With the best goal difference
And the best margin of win between first and second.

raumdeuter:
Wait didnt Yaya start Citys last home game vs Brighton which they won 3-1 and was given the captain armband. Yaya was removed at 86mins to get applause from the crowd

So what other final match are we talking about or expecting Or what would have been an acceptable farewell for Yaya

I knew that but was entertaining the ignorance of some posters here. Including the one that implies that he did not get a send off from City.

When they flew in his Bro Kolo and some other City legends to bid him farewell.

eph12:
Exactly! I wonder how people missed this. The way he got dismissed was not OK at all. He's one of the few City legends. If Pep is fond of doing this is another topic for another day

City were trying to win 100pts and Yaya was a liability in that dynamics.

He wanted to be playing consistently after the league was won but he is no Iniesta and he certainly is no Buffon.

Atleast, we all can agree that the cake saga happened before Pep or else, it would have been another racist excuse.

What I find amusing is how he came out to apologize to Pep (together with his agent Seluk) only to start mouthing off rubbish after leaving.

Was this supposed to tarnish the reputation of a manager who just achieved the winningest record in EPL history?

See snakes in a team, who celebrate when games are won but were secretly hoping City won nothing just so they could say "I told you so".

popizaino:
This was Barca’s lineup vs Bayern Munich, away in the 2008/09 CL quarter finals:


Notice how you can see Eto’o, Toure himself, Keita, Abidal and Alves, 5 players of color in this lineup?

Why does Pep have to field 5 non naturalized Africans to prove that he isn’t racist? So Pep has to field 5 Arabs to prove that he isn’t anti Arab etc? If you deserve to start, Pep starts you. Did Toure forget Pep trusting him enough to start at Center Back, against Manchester United in the 2009 CL final as the young Pique’s partner? That too against an Utd attack consisting of CR, Rooney and Tevez.

He didn’t have problems with David Alaba and Jerome Boateng at Bayern. Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling are City’s starters under him. He had almost no issues with Abidal and Alves (Alves and Pep did have a falling out in 2011/12, but that was because of Alves’s defensive indiscipline). Thierry Henry literally worships the baldie.

Pep didn’t gel well with Ibra and Mandzukic. So I can argue that he is anti Slavic peoples? (I assume I got the ethnicity right there).

Guardiola’s man management problems lie in dealing with strong personalities. He doesn’t handle it well at all. I don’t think it’s got anything to do with racism. Else, he would have totally shunned players of color throughout his career. He found Busquets to be better suited to his ideas, but didn’t handle the part of telling it to Yaya properly.

Man, the baldie really faces some inane shit in the form of “criticism”

Splendid.

His signature move is to freeze them out or not kiss their behinds. The kind of thing they accuse him of, People need to understand personality types when it comes to coaching or working with people.

The same goal scoring that Etoo and Zlatan boasted about is what David Villa came, did and won easily without much hullabaloo. If you act childish and in-subordinate like some of the names above (including Yaya) he freezes you out because it hurts egomaniacs really bad to be ignored.

They would rather be insulted or even fought..but ignoring them...wow..that really stings.

SIRcumalot:
No drag Jose "lover of Africans" mourinho good name into this discrimination charges.

The only reason it is harder to make the same racist claims for Mou is that he married an Angolan. You should read up on the things E'too said about him as well. Or Demba Ba.

MoR2:
all these yeye talk like these people know any manager without a player with something bad to say about that manager.

foolish and pointless yarns, what have you all achieved now by all these una 'facts' of pep doesn't like this one or that one, is that his job. is that what he is paid for

As if Beckham, Van Nistelrooy, Cantona, Ince, Hughes, Rooney, Keane, Hargreaves etc did not have things to say about SAF.

Only a fool, will believe relating with all players equally is equivalent to being a proven coach.

You'd have to even be a special brand of foolish to post it on a public forum.

hensben:
Yaya is right about Pep. Except you are his(pep) ass licker this fact is glaring. I said it the other time that pep has yet to prove himself his ass lickers thoughti was trolling.

What is the correlation between winning and working with in-subordinate players?

raumdeuter:
I actually think pep treated Yaya better than most expected. Many people expected pep to ship Yaya out immediately he landed at city given the way yaya and his agent were attacking Guardiola even before he entered Manchester but pep did not ship him out. Actually Guardiola extended his contract for another year.

So what type of treatment do you expect for a 35yr old Yaya at a top club.

If Yaya had been treated like Joe Hart a white British maybe you would have labeled Guardiola Hitler or like Schweinsteiger

I personally do not feel everyone is worthy of being educated. But you are more courteous than me.

Nihilstjnr:
Ego changes matters.

Disrespect is subjective. A player with a big ego will react in a different way to a slightly more humble person.

It is difficult to objectively judge whether a player like Etoo is not overreacting to perceived slights.

The only people that are in his camp are known egoistic troublemakers - Ribery, Zlatan and Yaya 'Cake' Toure.

That suggests to me that Etoo is probably the one who let his ego get in the way of a working relationship.

The man himself says that he refused to speak to Pep at a peace meeting his manager organised. That says a whole lot

...and that if they had issues it was because of ego not racism as Yaya has alluded to.

PlainJAY:
Cc Raumdeuter Popiziano Eruditor Chic2pimp

High probability that is fake news. But if it is not,I wish him all the best. He is really selling himself to his next club.

Seydou Keita played on after Yaya left Barca under the same Pep. This is to go with all of the sound arguments Raumdeuter has made concerning the issue.

I am still coming off the L my men Drake and Sané caught recently. Let me heal.

Shout Klay Thompson too.

He played on that bad ankle and was super aggressive.

What more is to be said about the efficient KD?

What more?

Thatwasepic:
Curry just came off of 7 games of defending James Harden 1 on 1, too. The energy to do this is insane. This has been remarkable.

That series helped prepare him for this one.

They thought he will tire out and it will affect his offense but it is the exact opposite.

Also, with Harden you got some tacky fouls and step back 3s that dropped which could be demoralizing. But it is easier to take it when a stronger, taller guy keeps pushing you off to make a play.

At some point his pushing and traveling will be called.

Lue thought he could play hard 3rd Q and stop us.

Neega did not know we are “any quarter” dubs.

SmooshCHN:
From LePacers to LeBronto to LeBoston to LeEast to LeFinals and probably he'll end up as LeSwept

On to game 3 in the Q

Adam Silver can’t believe Callahan could not do a simple job today.

They did not envisage stephortless play from Curry.

1. He has no help
2. Ref ball
3. Got no FTs
4. JR
5. Kardashians
6. No A/C at Oracle

Lebtards running outta excuses.

And Curry does not get FTs.

I repeat, he does not get FTs.

SmooshCHN:
I need to switch to my burner account

If you quote yourself it does not count.

He pushes off and they let him.
