343 is different to 433
I know you like to blow your own trumpet and claim you told us so...

But for Giroud to become effective, Lampard had to change formation. He brought Pulisic back into team. Brought Reece. Dropped palmwine. Brought Alonso back. Even dropped Jorginho

So how much did you really tell us?

Bros stop it. E no follow

accept this L and move on and nothing will happen to you.

Expert17:
Point and kill means getting anything you want...which is what Ferguson is so good at...


If Rooney was priced at 60M then.....Ferguson would still sign him.

If Ronaldo was worth 50M then....Ferguson would still sign him.

If Van Persie was worth 40M then..... Ferguson would still sign up him

If Keane was worth 70M then,... Ferguson would still sign him.

Spending won't be an issue to owners of clubs once they are sure you are going to win trophies which is what Ferguson and Pep are good at.

If the bolded part is true, what then are you arguing?

raumdeuter:
In the last 5yrs for left back alone Alonso dey, Kennedy dey Azpi dey Palmieri dey yet you are still moaning about a Left back after running through

That is the problem with your arguments. You like to bring half truths and lies just to win.

Where did you see Kennedy as a lb. Kennedy was signed as an attacking winger for a fee that is not significant. He was just used as a make shift lwb.

Taguchi:
I will be very surprised if Barca even consider sell Ter Stegen... they will rather sell 1/2 of their first team b4 that happens

Even if he does leave I think his strengths will be best suited for mancity or Bayern..man is like ederson on steroids.... just go for oblak if you gat dough or that Millan brat

See as you dey tell am like say na em be Roman wey get club.

Ibime:
Odoi will be fine. He just needs playing time.

He has poor decision making. that is his major problem. he can improve on that though.

airmark:
Not in all cases.

I don't need any babalawo to tell me what to look for in a world class CB, that is lacking in Rudiger, Christensen and co. We should start thinking like we are Chelsea of Terry's era, and not thinking like we are Watford or Leicester. Soyuncu is even better than Rudiger in my eyes.

Ginter is benching Rudiger in the national team, he should come and bench him in Chelsea too. We need high quality players, not mediocres dropping us in 3rd or 4th every season.



This was me below, when the rumour of signing Kova on loan was muted. I didn't support his permanent deal because i was looking for midfielders who would give more and i remember i even mentioned Man utd's Fernandes that time.



Chelsea needs a quality CB, LB, Keeper to challenge for honours. No time to waste on players not good enough to make their national team squads.

Okay, nah. Our own job is to watch. we have no say. The club knows what is best for them.

airmark:
This best forms you are even talking about, i don't understand. Do you think the level of competition in epl when Cahill and co won epl, is still what we have now? Fraudiola will tell you you go hard or go home next season.

Don't blame Lampard for school boy's errors Rudiger had been making since he was in Roma. We should be thinking about rubbing shoulders with the big boys in europe and not getting buoyed because we are having clean sheets against Aston Villa and co.

Cavalho left Chelsea and joined Madrid, can same happen to any of our CBs right now? Lampard is obviously getting better legs in that joke of a defence that leaked things like bursted pipe.

In all sincerity, who will Rudiger bench in Madrid or Psg or Liverpool, with his kponkpon defending?

okay nah. Well, no be we for here dey sign players. I believe that those in charge should know what is right. If they get it right, fine. If they don't, na them sabi.

My own is that, the devil you know is better than the angel that you don't know.

That was how you thought that Kovacic should not be signed permanently until your views changed.

I have seen the bests of these players and known what their ability is. Form or whatever should not make us lose them. Simple.

BlueAngel444:
All this free, cheap good players.

Newcastle should just sign
Cavani CF
Willian RW
Bale LW
James Rodriguez CM
Coutinho AM
Thiago CM

won't they make top four like this who else didn't I add

if I was the one that bought the club, I would do exactly this while grooming young ones to take over from them.

Ibime:
He was our best striker this season and contributed massively to get us to UCL. It's time to upgrade. Our ambitions are now beyond top 4 finish

That one na your own. He should just better make a career at Chelsea. Na that one be my own.

popizaino:
Unless he improves I am coming with the I told you so

we have seen his best before and his best was and is good enough.

If we could win championship with ageing cahill, Luiz, and azpi as CB, we could win anything with them. Chris, Zouma, and Rudiger's bests are as good as the above mentioned.

Lampard should look for a way to get his defenders to return to their best forms and also a system that will help his players. If they need a defenders coach, he should get it.

We should stick with the good ones we have than going to look for what we think is good outside.

Ibime:
Go and bring one white cock and Fenibeso will forgive your transgressions.

Abraham is like Lewandowski. He will never excite with his style of play but he has nose for goal.

I will bring the cock o.

Ibime:
We don't have striker better than him this season. Maybe Batsman if given a chance

oga ibime, please don't try to defend that guy. if what i saw on sunday and tonight is what he is about, then i can boldly tell you that abraham will never make it at chelsea.
he is always in front of the defenders and can't make a run behind the defense to receive a through pass. he lacks positional sense. he is just an inferior version of batshuayi



Oga Ibime, this.

popizaino:
Including rudiger ?

yes.

It amuses me when I continue to see us talk about buying and selling of these players here.


For me, nothing is wrong with all our CB.
If I have a say, I will tell the club not to sell any of them. They are not the best in the world, but they are enough to win a team the championship. We have all seen their best and worst days. And we have all seen them sustain a level of consistency. The grass is always greener on the other side until you get closer. Let us stick with what we have in terms of CB while the manager works on getting them to the levels they used to be at. {Although, we don't even have say).


The only major issue I have with Kepa is his physical disadvantage and his Laziness. While he can work on his laziness and improve, it is impossible to work on his stature. Because of that, it will be right for the club to sell him if there is any club willing to buy.

In terms of his replacement, the club can go to the championship, bundesliga, etc and get any goalkeeper with height, agility, good footwork to replace him.

If I were to own a club, the goalkeeping department will be less of a concern for me. I will always go for unproven cheap ones.




Las Las, no us go talk wetin go happen. Anything dem like make dem do. My own na to support or yab.

Oga Ibime, I am still praying for Abraham to make it at Chelsea. Because if he does not, be ready for me to drag you for his matter.

Tottenham were really unlucky not win the league this season.







Another point that I was trying to make the other day.
Tottenham scored more and still conceded less yet we had more points. Why?
Because it is not about the accumulative goals scored and goals conceded, it is how many points you won per match.

Ibime:
He is a good CM.

yeah. He gives someone so much confidence.

Chrisus:
Guess who’s going through playoffs?

oga, nothing like playoff for epl again.

Thecassanova:
Good first half

Pulisic should learn how to shield the ball with his body like hazard Willian, he lost some unnecessary balls

which body em wan take do am. I said the other day that it will be his problem. He does not have the body that should help him from the bullying that he soon will start getting in the league.

Ibime:
Pulisic is nervous. He just dey play nonsense since game start.

See as Kovacic chased and collected ball off that Wolves attacker.

I bless the day that guy was signed permanently.

Skimpledawg:
Nacho na mumu

better idiot. He had 2 passing options.

Ibime:
Wolves are triple marking Pulisic

Exactly. Teams have started to take notice of him and take him serious. This is now the time to prove that he can really succeed in this league.

BlueRayDick:
This is where I draw the curtain on this unproductive back and forth.

if you still can't understand my post then you should take some sleep so that your system can have a rest. You really finding it difficult to understand right now.

donjazet:
Fam, I've been struck by disaster. My sister and her 2 kids just died yesterday from a terrible road accident.

This is heart breaking. What a tragedy. Take heart, bro. Take heart.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]He is not saying there is any proof that a player is second-best, just as there isn't one that his MotM for all matches

What he's saying is if a player is hitting 7.5/10 in each match he participates, then cumulatively he can be considered as the best in his position that season

Do you understand his point now?[/color]

Thank you, my brother. Me I don't know how else to explain that.

sylvalord:
Can someone tell me how the bolded above makes any sense? If a player can be second best in 80% of matches, why can’t a player be the best in all the matches?

you will not use your head to reason now.

There is no single player dead or alive that was or will be the best player in every match of the season.
During the course of a season a player will have a bad, average day, above average day, and a great day.


A player with second best performance for 80% of the matches he played is a very strong contender for best player.

BlueRayDick:
Smh....so somehow u think Henderson was giving a constant above average performance in most of the 30 matches he played for loserpool and players like Mane, Salah scoring the goals and dem Trent Arnold doing the assists aren't?


Abeg I no get energy to drag a none issue. A player was only deemed fit to have performed better than other players on the pitch in 1 out of 30 matches he played in. Does this not tell u that every other match he started and didn't get the MoTM means other loserpool players that got it were better than him on the pitch?

I have shown u Henderson is not the best player in loserpool because he gets bested by other loserpool players in almost all the matches he played in except 1 he won MoTM and the few ones wọn by their opposition.

oga, which one don't you understand?
I told you that I'm not making any case for Henderson because I didn't watch him this season.

My point should be simple for you to understand. I don't know whether or not Henderson was the best player or not, but the metric that you want to use to make a case against him does not make sense.

Winning more MOTM over a season than every other player does not automatically mean that a player was generally better than the others.

MOTM can only be given to 1 player per match, and he can't be the best player in all the matches, but can be the second best in 80% of the matches.

The MOTM theory no just follow, na wetin I dey tell you.

I no get strength, too.

seankafor:
traore shouldn't be in wolves.. dude is bigger than wolves.. same as zaha to crystal palace

when did traore become bigger than wolves. Which day em get sense. He should prove himself for at least one more season before anything.

BlueRayDick:
I don't think u get where this is coming from and the purpose of me bringing up that Stat.

The argument was that Henderson was not the best player at loserpool this year ( which of course is 100% true)

Loserpool have played 37 matches till date. The stats up there shows Man of the match awards spread among 4 key players at loserpool this season. If u add Henderson's(1) + Alexander-Arnold's(4)+ Sadio Mane's(7) + Mo Salah's(6)....You will discover that is like 17 man of the match awards in 17 different matches shared among those 4 players.

How can a sane person claim Henderson is the best player at loserpool when this stats show that those who watch the matches week-in week-out almost always vote other Loserpool players man of the match on several occasions ahead of him?

If he was that important as we are being made to believe why was he not being recognized after each loserpool win as the man of the match? Why is he suddenly the best player at the end of the season? Don't u think this is looking like Nigeria elections results?

I deliberately chose to use a common denominator/metric which is MoTM because I know trying to compare midfielder, right back and attackers with their different stats will not be easy, but we all know if a player gives a good showing as fans claim irrespective of where he plays he will get the MoTM at the end of the match.

You have not gotten my point.

A player can be giving consistent 7/10 in every match, but there is always a different player in every match that gives 8/10, but that person that had 8/10 performance may not give up to 6 in the next match. If a different player in each match give 8/10 more Henderson per match, Henderson will not get the MOTM but his accumulative performance over the season will be better than other players.

DontBullshitMe:
Contraception biti bawo?

Contraption you mean?

thank you brother.

BlueRayDick:
* In the words of afrodoc * It is a phucking disgrace!

1.Henderson played 30 epl matches and gave 1 man of the match performance

2. Alexander-Arnold played 37 epl matches and was man of the match 4 times

3. Sadio Mane played 34 times in the EPL and was awarded man of the match in 7 of those matches

4. Sallah played 33 matches and gave 6 man of the match performance.

But somehow Handerson is EPL's best player according to some INEC officials called Football Writers Association

I am not making a case for the guy because I didn't watch him. But this one that you are saying does not follow.


7.8/10 week in week out all season is better than 9/10 today and 6/10 other days.

Yet some people still believe in this contraption called Nigeria.

Unlimited22:
LMAO you Wan park bus with Jorginho?

I trust some one like Mourinho to send jorginho to the village and play one of our CB as DM that night.
