to this day, NOTHING will make me watch cinema dubs. it does not matter how far they say the quality has come

back in school, one weekend my guys crashed in my place. we watched the lost world jurassic park. a cinema dub. we all agreed the movie was shit and a complete waste of time. then a year later one uncle in yankee sent me a clear copy. i actually got one of my guys to come around and rewatch the movie. the guy was like - what - that shit movie. at the end of the movie he looked at me. "comp video club is fuuucked! "

and that was the last time i ever watched a cinema dub

Nothing will make me watch cinema dub now. Nothing. No matter how good the movie is.
If it ain't in the cinemas or 4K, count me out.

GloriousGbola:
Awon gen z will never know the struggle of rewinding video tape, or of tape getting mashed in the vcr

Or of extra low quality cinema dubs

Or video tapes split into wrestlemania 1,2,3

And of course the jackpot of a mislabelled tape with alternative content. Or improperly dubbed over tape with same.

omo, you nailed it on all fronts. hahahaha

Unscrewing the case and gently pulling the tape out and back na science and a work of art.

Man. It's hard to believe what you'd do to get that daily or weekend dose of wrestlemania. lol

GloriousGbola:
and they did us all a soild

before audio downloads, if you were a regular bros, your only option for music was tapes from DJs, tapes dubbed from radio station, or tapes dubbed from connecting your tape deck to the video audio output.

back then i had a massive tape collection - but since i was buying basic tapes sony [who dash me high end maxell] as you dey play quality dey drop over time.

when i started working in lagos proper - i found that you could buy CDs direct from alaba for n100. so every other weekend i would go to alaba to buy cds for my collection. then one day i realized i had most of my music in mp3s, most of teh devoces at home supported usb purts and i had no use for dvd or cd players. and i got a ghana must go and gave them all out.

And for those wey no get proper walkman, na to dey use bic biro rewind and fast forward tapes.

Doesn't get better than that. lol

You can see time and again, that when we come up against a top team, we were always second best at every metric, especially at everything that had to do with running and reflexes. It points to sub-optimal fitness levels.

I imagine that if Potter told the fitness coaches to relax the fitness intensity, then they wouldn't defy.

As a team hoping to win the league when the season starts, we should not be at the bottom of the league in any meaningful metric. Not especially the yards put in by every participant. We should be out-running every team from 4th downwards......but it seems we are not even close.

It could also be the reason why our top players are picking up injuries left right and centre when they get into duels. See CSO pulling a hammy the other day because he dared to run for 40 yards at full speed.

Something is fundamentally wrong.

Yep @ bolded. This has always been my stance.

What I fail to understand is this - even if a coach tells the fitness manager to relax the intensity, there is still the minimum required of every player and unless they are not even doing the minimum then problem is even bigger. Besides, Boli hired all sorts of coaches to boost the overall performance of the team. What happened to that?

The other question is this - Is Brighton now a top team? They outplayed us in every single department and not just on fitness level, they played some orgasmic purposeful football.

If this is a fitness related issue, then there is no hope against Real Madrid.

airmark:
Shortcake aaaah.

Who knows Biscuit alata here?

hhahahahaa.

Pito, Zobo, Kunu.

There is nothing better than Okin biscuits. Nothing. Not even shortbread.

Okin biscuit ruled supreme

nateevs:
To be fair to him on this one, he might not be wrong.

There was a report released some weeks ago about running stats for all PL teams. It pointed out that we were either the team with the least collective distance covered or one of the worst, at best.

It pointed to a relaxed team training regime over several months (perhaps also from pre-season preparation), with severe lack of running during training, resulting in sub-optimal fitness for what should be an elite team. I read it at the time and ignored.

If this is resurfacing, then it means that the story was indeed true. It also means that if the story is true, then Lampard is correct and truly, he cannot fix it.

While he might not be wrong, I do not want to believe this to be true.
We have a fitness coach, diet coach, mental coach, aggression coach, dancing coach and whole lot - what exactly is their job?

Every team in the EPL or any level for that matter have a threshold that every single player must meet. Your Speed, kms, Cooper fitness test, your weight and a host of other metrics- this is all tracked, monitored, analysed and compared with other teams/players.

So tell me, how could any of those coaches including the manager not have noticed that the boys are not fit?

Jodera2:
Liverpool own it's somehow understandable but West Ham? It was mind boggling.

I just believe ystdy was an off day cos they felt overconfident(going 2 up) then instantly starts feeling the pressure (after the first conceded goal).

It won't be a pattern .They'll learn from it.

We shall find out soon but if y'all bottle this one peren.... omo, hmmm....You will all have to deactivate or create new monikers.

nihilistjnr:
Bruh Lampard is a bona-fide clown

Brah. Help me understand. Did he just give up on the team or all na tactics?

MorataFC:
I just pity the manager that is coming, because he won't become messiah overnight, what Tuchel can't fix, Potter can't fix and Lampard can't fix, can't be fixed overnight, something is fundamentally wrong.

You are echoing the statement I made some days ago, something IS fundamentally wrong.

Certainly a new manager is needed and a monumental brain shift starting with Boli.




Or as it is with in life sometimes, maybe a simple tweak is all that is required.

Jodera2:
Lol... I just felt disappointed but I didn't really feel angry ystdy. We shot ourselves in the foot and sometimes it happens like that.

I just hope we learn lesson from ystdy game and push forward from there

This is gradually becoming a pattern now. Score 2 and then oops, y'all did it again!

Liverpool
Westham

Who is gonna be next?

Amoto94:
Frank Lampard reveals his Chelsea players aren’t fit enough and lacking the physical capability is what people are mistaking for a lack of hunger and effort. (
@NizaarKinsella
)

Wait. What?

WhoDeyHause:
Kepa is not the reason why we faced over 20 shots from Brighton. If a good coach is brought in we would be the ones doing that to the opposition not to us. I was glad some of the Chelsea fans sitting above boehly in the stadium told him what they thought in their mind.
No wonder he was vibrating like ddildo later in the game. Somebody should have just stoned him yoghurt on his head and run away so he will know he's not here to play with his data.

Spot on on all issues mentioned.

A001:
Make Lampard go learn coaching under Pep or Ancelotti. He doesn't even know the basics.

Just look at what his fellow legend Xavi is doing in Barcelona.

You can only but admire what young coaches like Arteta and Xavi are doing in Arsenal and Barcelona respectively.

You can say that again but come UCL night, he will have to muster every brain cell remaining in his body to get our boys to score goals. And yes, I will be supporting him on that day.

Plus we have our resident pastor Skimple just returning from the mountain.

Hope still dey.

Jodera2:
Hmmm...

How are you feeling right now boss?

omo if una bottle this league title - the trolling no go contain nairaland oo

popizaino:
Before things deteriorated to this level,we should have called back Lukaku and play 4-4-2 formation.

Flat midfield or is it straight line midfield. Havertz or Fofana should be asked to support Lukaku upfront. Enzo Fernandez,Kante,Mount,Gallagher in a straight line midfield.

Erase the idea of playing like prime Barca when you have no decent ball carrier like iniesta or Hazard and deploy carragher to crouch approach, the ball that misses Lukaku won't miss Havertz or Fofana.Trust me we won't labour for goals or be in this kind of situation with winless runs with such approach.

The earlier we realise we don't have decent wide men on the wings who can't create on a one on one situation the better it is for us to go back to the fundamentals of having two men upfront. My ten cent.

As much as I like your idea, do you honestly think Lukaku is what we need upfront?

Bluelines69:
I understand sir, but it’s not gotten to that point please

No lele boss.
Me I don forget sef Everybody know say me I humble.

My point is quite simple - nothing wrong in dragging players for lack of a particular skill set/s- Objectively.

But when you bring agenda join am, we will be here to call this out.

MorataFC:
Excelent rating, yesterday's game was an eyesore, but who gave Chalobah 3/10?
Chalobah should not get more than 1 while Sterling rating should be negative -

Mitoma roasted him on several occasions but I think he got a few things right. Generally speaking though, the team's performance was terrible. Brighton played us on our pitch like we were the visitors.

But remember we have one of the worst coaches in history.

That said, this is football, anything can happen against Real Madrid.

Kreemak:
Wow. Interesting. Thank you for responding. Please do you know anything about open doors scholarship

Sorry, I am not sure about open doors scholarship.

Bluelines69:
Ah ah , for football matter😂😂

He hates Kepa cos of what he did to Sarri not cause of short arms as if that will change or na him make our players no dey score. He can't bring himself to forgive and forget but he is free to continue.

Na here we dey.

ezra01:
this issue about kepa should please stop.
we should analyse kepa objectively not agenda (ly) 😂😂
I feel kepa is a good goal keeper but not a great goal keeper..
every great teams needs a great goalie
kepa has never given us that assurance cech gave us and this somehow affects defenders confidence..
having a short hand is not the cause of him not being a good goalie
kepa is not good enough for Chelsea..
onana is shorter and I rate onana ahead of kepa
We are Chelsea,, we demand world class players who fits into our play..
not people like havertz who after 3 season has not convinced 65% of the fans with his performance

Again, we are all on the same page here. No one, no one will say Kepa is the greatest keeper ever and definitely he ain't no Cech.

But person no watch game but kept hammering on a single issue which will not change abi height na talent?

The issue will stop when he stops dragging Kepa for no reason. If he doesn't stop, I will not stop. This one, I dey ready wella.

Sportsweb:
You are pained man.. nobody gives a Bleep what and where you were eating

Allow him to be chatting nonsense. It's typical.

Nah guilty conscience dey worry am.

Typical. Always chatting nonsense.

Nobody mentioned you but nah guilty conscience and hate dey worry you. Continue.

Focus on the major issue within the team - lack of goals or pattern.

Game wey you no watch, you dey complain.

When I said you lack basic understanding on this game, I wasn't joking. Keep using stats and data like Boli.

Mention Kepa unnecessarily and I will be here.

swiz123:
Dude is fond of hating on people for something they have no control over. It's obvious that shorter Goalies concede long range shots and fail to claim corners, the question is, how will Kepa suddenly improve his height at the age of 28?

Kepa was benched for a long time, he was patient and worked hard. When long arm Mendy started drinking goals like kunu with high profile mistakes in high stake matches, Kepa reclaimed his place. Now, even the blind can see that Kepa has improved his reflexes to a significant extent.

He has pointed out Kepa, Jorginho and Felix as our fundamental weakness just because of their physique. These 3 will leave and our problem will still be here and the fools who support everything he says will wait for him to Identify another fundamental weakness in our team.

While Kepa might not be world class, I fail to see how he is the cause of our terrible form which is magnified by that bloody scammer Lampfraud who has come again to steal a living off us!.

Bro, that's the thing. No one has ever said Kepa is world class. But one person that can't see past past mistakes is yarning nonsense.
We were here when Mendy came on and he was doing well and we praised him. All of a sudden he started having brain farts. I am pretty sure the length of his arm or hand did not decrease. So what happened?

If one is going to criticise a keeper it should be for other reasons but not cause of the length of his arm - that is not going to change - not now!

You have a coach who doesn't know is left from right, doesn't even understand the basics as coach, yet I am supporting him because I want the club to do well. If he succeeds, the club succeeds, it's that simple.

We are still in the UCL and we have to score goals. That is the only way forward. Hope still dey.

Olodo. You can keep hammering on Kepa all you want and we will keep calling you out.

You obviously have no clue how this game is played.

Your players can't create, can't score, can't control the game or play on the counter, the coach is a dullard yet you are focusing on offside in basketball.

You think carrying your one-pack and watching football on tv qualifies you as a pundit? Nah, I already said it before, you don't understand this game.

Keep hammering on Kepa unnecessarily and I will keep hammering at you.

eph12:
You'll need to control the game first. Unless you want to play counter football

The aim of any football match is to win, how you do it is up to you.

You are not going to control the game for the sake of it.

The goal remains the same - score goals!

Our focus should be scoring goals. You can't win a match without scoring more than your opponent.
This is what football is about.

drisham:
egbon kepa is the least of our problems..we are struggling to score goals rest

Forget that one, he is filled with hate for Kepa and that hate will eat him raw.

So because she is a professional actress she is not a golddigger and not broke? Listen to yourself ogbeni.

Many asking for new signings even though the club has spent quite a considerable amount of money without any result.

Sha we still dey UCL. Hope still dey.
