The Barkley vs RLC agenda is back on

They are pretty much the same player - same dribbles, same pressing, good players, even great but are not the match winners.

Barca fans and this their Busquets hype. No one is calling him an absolute fraud but you can't deny the fact that the system he played in helped him to a great extent.
Busquets was able to thrive in that system because Barca's midfield control game was so good. Xavi and Iniesta were at the peak of their powers and you had Messi dropping in to create overloads and mehn THAT press! Busquets' job was pretty much recycling the ball and trying to snuff out whatever spurts of attack or counter the opponent could muster.

In 2015, Barca's success was hinged on the offensive firepower of MSN. Barca basically sacrificed their waning midfield control play for more balance and solidity. Rakitic, a proper CAM at Sevilla took on a slightly defensive role and even Iniesta dropped deeper. Busquets now had more cover to help out with his already barely existent defensive duties. Add to the fact that teams were afraid to attack because of MSN, man was cruising.

Busquets has tika-taka to thank for giving him a career

Chelsea v liverpool 2008

5-7

Ibime:
It's financial also. Rudiger has value to maintain for next transfer window

Ibime:
Lampard is just playing with that boys head. Earlier in the season he was 3rd choice CB, now Rudiger and Chris have jumped back above him. These are the trials of being a young player without status in the game.

Mikel is the player whose destiny was most affected by Mourinho. When you compare Under-17 and Under-21 Mikel to the risk averse version that Mourinho molded it is a travesty.

sleekdot:
If Silva had run into Mourinho in 2014 as he was approaching his peak, No one will be talking about him being a senior man anywhere in England

His longevity and Pep adapting him to have 2 AM play in the middle was part of why he edged out Mata. That is the edge someone like Silva had over players like Zabaleta who were trashed by Pep

If a player like KdB did not come back and play under Pep to break records, the narrative till today will be that he cant cope with EPL football since he failed under Mourinho

sleekdot:
OK

raumdeuter:
Silva, Fabregas Ozil and Mata in that order
But I have to put some context into it that Silva benefitted from playing in attacking sides, Under a Guardiola system that makes attacking players look better than what they really are

Silva in a Mourinho systems would have been destroyed the same way Mata was. because he would have been shunted to the wings and tasked with helping his full back. I have argued before that Mata was the Silva of his time before he ran into Mourinho and he never recovered from it

When Germany went defensive, they had to shift Ozil to the left-wing and he quickly became a liability, when you meet strong sides, Ozil as a 10 is easy to mark out, Ulli Hoeness said that Bayern always targetted Ozil whenever we play Arsenal and it never fails

Ozil probably is the most talented of them but and probably the laziest too

Ibime:
He does it all the time - using one player to push out another he doesn't like. It is actually consistent with his behaviour over the years, and he looks at the politics first. He always had an intention to push out Mata before taking the job and the press kicked against him including a big argument with Jamie Redknapp on TV. Don't forget how loved Mata was. His response was that he is prioritising Brazil's no10 which is an easier sell.

Ibime:
Go and ask Mou. I supported KDB.

If you ask me, Mourinho was playing politics with Oscar Vs Mata and KDB was not a big enough name to factor in that political argument. Mourinho said he wants to get rid of Mata and I quote "in order to make space for Brazil's no10". I just think KDB was a victim of the 6 months it took Mourinho to politically shift Mata out of the club. In the process of doing that, KDBs career was being wasted and he did not have the patience to wait for such politics to play out.

You cannot shift your POTY and much loved Chelsea player with a largely unknown small boy from Belgium. That would have been unacceptable to the fans and media, so he had to do it with Oscar, who I also did not like.

Kimbeast:
Found this on Reddit: Which of these players would you buy in their prime? Mata, Ozil, Fabregas or David Silva?

HAccord:
Igbos are not forcing ikwerre minorities into any alliance. They are the ones stealing Igbo language, names and identity. When they commit crimes at the national or international level, people will say 'omo Ibo don commit another one' not knowing he is an Ikwerreman with Bini heritage and Igbo name. The whole of the Igbo race bears the brunt. So Igbos need to be very concerned.

These Ikwerres are descendants of Bini people who migrated during the slavery era from the Bini empire and even possibly with some traces of yoruba genes, yet they are keen on bearing Igboid names.

The solution- Relinguinization of Ikwerre ethnocultural system. It can be done. Even Rotimi Ramaechi have shown them how to start renaming themselves to do away the vestigates of the Igbo toga little by little.

Wike can start by budgeting like N200 billion for the project and incentivizing his Ikwerre people. He can say, any father who renames his child with a Bini name gets 1 million naira. If you are Ikwerre and has a child bearing Emeka and rename him Osahon, you get 1 million naira, if you have 5 kids, that's 5 million naira. This would do a lot of magic. Even N100,000 per child will help the re-bininization revolution in a massive way.

Political Incentivization worked during the civil war when Gowon and Fulanis allowed them to keep their lives for denying to be Igbos, it would still work today and will help stop all these confusion and put to rest the quagmire and everyone will be happy.

Until you show me were Hazard's penalty miss in regulation time cost us 3points like kdb then you don't have a reason to disrepect him

raumdeuter:
This epistle you have written is the only thing you are able to contribute to discussion here. That a player who is 21yrs and 6months is 21 not 22 and a player 28yrs and 6months is not 29. Very eye-opening, You should apply for a PhD for that earth breaking discovery

Meanwhile If you look up well you will see some posts waiting for likes and shares. Get to work on those, dont leave your core competence and what you are good at for other things
