Shaqiri 4 goals 5 assists

Hazard 5 goals 2 assists

In the league.

shaqiri is better than Hazard? Say it already let us avoid another 10 pages of senseless arguments.

Coutinho is really making me afraid of Brazil come June.

hardeycute:
OK.

Irrespective of refs decision city has shown character of a championship team in those matches they won in injury time

Yeah

hardeycute:
I should be no1 Fraudiola hater but did you watch the match?

The incident between Pep and Howe?which Mike Oliver dean interfered

yes I did. I am not arguing about the ref decision. Just answering raumdeuter's question.

Was just watching barca today and enjoying the Messi magic. Then, I began to imagine a Messi on the right side of our 343. With fabregas and Kante in midfield, why won't we win treble?

raumdeuter:
Tell us the game where Citys goal came outside of the alloted time

the Bournemouth game.

Wey that man wey go to watch hazard and morata today? Come and tell us what you saw.

I don't think DW is doing bad. He is definitely better than bakayoko. I will not be surprised to see him play as an SS in the future cause he runs into good position.

Since the Manchester United match, I am not sure hazard has played any shot off target. The goalkeepers have just not allowed him to get his goals.

Just look at how this gaslow abi wetin deny am a second hattrick against this Newcastle.

Nihilist:
that was never a foul.

Football is a contact sport. Nudging a defender to get shooting space is perfectly legal.

thank you.

Nihilist:
See hazard miss

give credit to the goalkeeper there.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Victor Moses, Danny Drinkwater and Eden Hazard return to the starting line-up.
Moses makes his first start after six weeks out injured and a substitute appearance on Wednesday. Azpilicueta replaces Gary Cahill in defence with Drinkwater added to what is expected to be a three-man central midfield.
Michy Batshuayi is fit enough to be named among the subs.
Chelsea are expected to line-up as follows:
Courtois; Azpilicueta (c), Christensen ,
Rudiger; Moses, Drinkwater , Kante , Fabregas,
Alonso ; Hazard , Morata .
Subs: Caballero , Cahill , Zappacosta, Bakayoko,
Willian, Pedro, Batshuayi.
Newcastle:
Darlow, Manquillo, Clark (c), Lejeune, Mbemba, Ritchie, Merino, Diame, Murphy, Perez, Gayle.
Subs: Elliot, Yedlin, Hayden, Aarons, Shelvey, Joselu, Mitrovic.
Today’s referee is Kevin Friend.



Gradually, bakayoko is finding his place, which is on the Chelsea bench.

airmark:
English FA never helped epl teams to do well on all fronts. By february, most key players will look jaded, some will be injured, while some will play the season on pain relievers. While teams in other climes look more refreshed.

Depth is very important, we need to buy more quality players in January to make impression, the competition is rife.

exactly! It can also affect their performances in Russia

Obere4u:
That last paragraph though. My man don vex

seriously. I think the fa fine made it worse

‘Yes, I must be honest, it’s happened again,’ he said. ‘Newcastle played on Tuesday night, we played on Wednesday night and now we have to play on Saturday at 12.30pm. I don’t want to complain but against Watford we should have played on the Monday and then they changed it to Saturday at 12.30pm after we’d played on the Wednesday but, okay, once it can happen. It happened for the second time against Manchester City. The third time you start feeling perplexed and now again against Newcastle.
‘I don’t want advantages for my team, I want the same rest as our opponents. Is it difficult to do this? I don’t think so. I think now there is a strange coincidence. I want to try to protect my club, my players and our fans. Also, I want to protect the league because if you say we have 11 points less than Manchester City, you must remember when we played them they had one more day’s rest than us. We played against Liverpool and Liverpool rested one more day than us and now again. After only 14 games it’s happened four times and now it’s very difficult to think that this is a coincidence, honestly.
‘If we have to play every two days I’m ready but we need to have the same rest as our opponents and then we’ll see what happens. If you give one more day of rest [to some teams] when you play every three days and you have injuries, you can find a lot of difficulties.
‘I spoke with my club and I hope my club try to do something about the situation because I’m trying to protect my club, my players and also the league. The Qarabag situation was incredible. I want respect for my job, my players, my club and the fans. This is the fourth time. I’m not stupid, if someone wants to joke with me I’m not the person to joke with.’




Mehn! Conte dey para seriously o and it is understandable.

It's a close-run thing for favouritism with Sky Bet , with Brazil and Germany rated as joint-favourites at 5/1.
France are third-favourites at 11/2, followed by Spain (7/1) and Argentina (8/1). England are rated at 16/1 outsiders, with Group G rivals Belgium given odds of 12/1.
The least fancied sides are Panama, who England will face in their second Group G game, and Saudi Arabia at 1000/1.

raumdeuter:
The stat for who scored the winning goal at the world cup will have Iniesta Zidane Ronaldo
Barcelona won the La Liga 2013, Iniesta wasnt only the highest assist maker for Barcelona, He led the entire league in assists

2011 Barcelona won the Champions League Iniesta led the team in assist

Oya I dey wait the next excuse from you

oga, is that how you count figures? You should be showing us things like, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5........... 1000.

I can't see it. What happened?
Is this how whoscored, transfermarkt and co use to count Iniesta's stats? He must be a special type of player?

raumdeuter:
Iniesta scored a world cup winning goal, Zidane scored a world cup winning goal Just like Ronaldo

is that the stats?

Nihilist:
Brazil? No way.
Germany? I doubt

France...maybe on par.

That Belgium squad on paper is hot, except maybe at fullbak positions.

though I hear lukaku junior with the 12 inch is doing ok in italy these days

true. Belgium is lacking in the fullback position good back up in central defense and it cost them dearly at the euros. Though, muenier is improving, but they still need more. Maybe, they can all play individually like a team without a coach and see what they can get.

Nihilist:
I'm putting money on Belgium to win the ting though.

Cheeky little tenner. They arguably have the best squad on paper

as much as i would like Belgium to win, is it with Martinez as coach? Someone who does not have a system in place for all the talent he has at his disposal. Something that KDB have already criticised him for.

Belgium don't have a pattern of play, they are just like a Benitez team.

Everybody, just go and play football, come back and defend when you don't have the ball. That's all.
No pattern of attack, no pattern of defence.

Nihilist:
Una don start again.

You think Iceland is Benin Republic or Madagascar.

That team is very solid, and that their Iceland clap can pain when they're clapping you off to the pitch and back to your room in Shogunle.

I'm sorry, I can't see it agisnt Croatia. I just can't see it. Modric+Rakitic should be able to pass our midfield to death. The likes of Perisic and Mandzucic as well dey there.

These guys are packing starters for some of the biggest clubs in football. We're bringing Iwobi and Iheanacho...maybe Musa.

I can't see it bro

exactly the way NFF could not see it when we were about to play against cote d' ivore that year in Nations cup, that made them to book flight for the team immediately they saw that we were going to play against ivory coast.

Nihilist:
I doubt it, even if LL Cool J were playing for us.

The problem is that we don't have a single opponent that we can hang as our guaranteed meat.

Most other groups have a pre-determined whipping boy. All the other teams are going to be looking at Iceland, and us.

Iceland know that they absolutely have to beat us to stand a chance.

Argentina and Croatia know that they probaly qualify if they play draw and then go and beat Iceland and Nigeria.

Mehn.......e go hardddd

one of the things I have learnt from the super eagles is that they do well when you least expect them to, and do bad when you expect them to do well.
Who could believe that they would qualify from the that group of death even with a game to spare?

raumdeuter:
I see WOrld cup final difference makers like Zidane Ronaldo on Iniesta level

so, show us the Iniesta output that made Iniesta to be on the same level with Zidane and Ronaldo?

raumdeuter:
Hazard wasnt even in Chelsea in 2012, So why will I hate him because of Chelsea in 2012. Bayern wasnt one of the teams competing for Hazard in 2012 it was Chelsea and Man utd

Actually I was one of the first people who hailed Hazard when he was just bought and giving assists for Chelsea, I still think he is a good player but not at the level you guys put him. My problem with him started when some posters begin compare him to Neymar and they werent joking, I took a better look at his output and saw that it was on the level of Joshua King, Snodgrass and Zaha

so, when you took a look at Iniesta's output, where did you find his level?

hardeycute:
Do I need an award to know hidden is not what actually what you want us to believe?

wait, sorry for my manners o oga.

Sir, please, who are you in football? Are you the great Pele i hear about?

raumdeuter:
Im asking her which of them isn't world, I'm expecting her to admit hazard isn't

lol. Oga raumdeuter, pity for yourself sometimes nah.

Why do you keep doing this kind of things to yourself. Nawao.
I tire for you. You dey call us fools nah.

raumdeuter:
Sallah in one season is about to outperform Hazards best season in the EPL
so what context do you want

what is stopping you from already declaring that Salah the better player of the two.

raumdeuter:
If you understand the stament in bold you will know where I am coming from and why I asked her that

oga, i have been following.
Don't tell me that i don't don't understand English.


What you were trying to say is that hazard and Costa are world class and therefore have no reason not to win ucl. Abi, e get another thing wey e mean?

raumdeuter:
WHich one is the amala again

The poster said Chelsea needed to buy attacker, I am asking her in her own opinion which of the attackers is not world class.

Diggz you need orheptal blood tonic

lol. This man is very predictable. I knew exactly that he was going to say that it was a question. Kai.

If this man can channel this his energy into winning souls for Christ, maybe, we won't be having what we are having in the Christiandom today..

raumdeuter:
Bayern sold Mandzukic and bought Lewandoski just like Chelsea sold Costa and bought Morata

Which of Costa Hazard Morata is not world class .

ewoooo!! Have hazard suddenly become world class now?

hardeycute:
Man of the match?

Is that not a popularity contest

oga airmark and diggz come and see o. I have spotted one of raumdeuter's students. They are really learning fast.

hardeycute:
Link first but BTW Hidden is not the only player to have been praised by Zizou


One time performance beats all other players?
Kun Aguero?26 in 33 apps
Lacazette was top scorer that season in Ligue 1
Higuain,Icardi performed better that season
I should not be listing Neymar here but for the sake of argument,he finished joint UCL top scorer with Cr7 and messi.
After this hype we all witnessed how he 'ghost' in the preceding season

Top player?Yes
Top 25
"I have no doubts he'll be back," said Zidane. "After Messi and Ronaldo, Hazard is my favourite player. It is spectacular to see him play."
And he added: "Do I see him going to Real Madrid? I love the player, that's all I will say
Link?

When did you stop listening and following top coaches, especially, Zidane. Is it because it does have to do with Benzema? Coaches like you,also have their favorites players and are not devoid of sentiments.
Put some respect on Benz,please

if you want link, copy any more quotes and Google it. I don't have time to waste with trolls.

Kuku go collect all the awards he won that season and go and give it to Aguero nah.
