Give credit to Sanchez for not hoofing that ball over.

He initiated that quick transition with that cheeky risky pass.

Bar injury Woltemessi has already cemented his spot as Germany number 9 for the world cup.

There is no such thing as a retired General when it comes to influence

Una dey underrate the power politicians have over military in present day Nigeria

Even an LGA Chairman can slap a General and nothing will happen
Baba it depends sha.

For my state, the governor's son, who is also the speaker of the house of assembly, slapped a Lt col inside Capital Supermarket because the man won't leave the mart for the speaker to shop solo.

Minutes later, military patrol vans rented the entire space, bundle our speaker and beat him with his aides wetin no good.

It’s crazy how even the fittest athletes can suffer heart problems.

Speedy recovery to Oscar Emboaba.

Enzo Fernandez: "I will not be available with Argentina, I was just talking to the medical team because I had a problem with my knee in the last 4 months.

“I came with a bone edema that got worse in the last weeks and months because we played a lot of games”

“I think the most important thing is coming to the end of the season and I think it's good to make this decision together. Always respecting the doctors and everything.”

We fit dey judge this ninja wrongly.

Jeremy Doku against Liverpool is the first with a goal, 10+ dribbles, 10+ duels won, 3+ chances created and 3+ shots on target in one match since Eden Hazard for Chelsea v West Ham in 2019.

Well, some decent take home.

My GK saved my Captain's PK, minutes later my captain eventually found the net.

Points are coming home.

But why all ned's wives get drug related history
Obviously the man is the plug, Regina said the man loves his women high
And you know this how? Because Regina said so?

Aren't their other women in the house, why aren't they agitating? Why must it be the estranged ones?

She drop one pikin, she no leave. Drop another, still no complain about drugs, while all the whole time, this man was busy lifting her entire household from poverty.

Things don be, and she's now playing the victim card for you all to digest. Only God knows how much she must have stolen before calling off this game.

🎙️Enzo Maresca on whether he liked rotation as a player:

"I loved rotation as a player." 😅

Little wonder!

Maresca tinkering is too much.
As much as I hate to say it, I feel he's even trying to manage these lads fitnesses after the extra season we had last season.

Not enough excuse anyway. Someone like Josh who's on something serious should be getting game time given he's fully fit.

If there was anyone to sit out the Qarabag tie, it had to be Cucurella. Not Josh.

teeshet:
who do you blame for the goal against Sunderland? Some were blaming tosin instead of chaloba
Tosin takes the blame. He was very clumsy while on his man. If he had applied a little pressure on the forward, he will shrug or dispossess him off the ball, but he was busy ball watching, giving his man enough time to linkup play with the goal scorer.

It would have been quite suicidal for Chalobah to charge at that point seeing that he was trying to keep a defensive line.

Colwill is injured, all Chelsea matches should be suspended till when he comes back from injury.. Mentioning Thiago Silva alongside Tosin is the highest form of disrespect ever


Tosin is not okay again ba. Chelsea should forfeit all matches till Fofana and Colwill are fully fit
Imagine hating on mates for backing Jackson while rating Tosin as Thiago's replacement.

Now, apart from Tosin who replaced Thiago Silva as I wanted, which defender did we add before we became World Champion? Tell me if replacing your jakujaku Jackson wasn't one of the major reasons we became the World champions.

Any team that can press properly and get back in shape quickly will definitely beat this Maresca's led side. Sunderland showed us all how it's done weeks ago.

We can only beat teams that don't fall back into defending quickly and do not defend deep. In games where we manage to score one, it's a huge demand on the midfield and defense to protect that lead. That's proper game management. You don't have to be useless to concede and start chasing the game again, this is not FM for phuck sake.

We saw this against Sunderland, Wolves and Qarabag just last night.

Most of our CB options has the dexterity of aircraft carriers, press them and sit to enjoy a horror show. Just take a look at Tosin, Fofana, Chalobah, Badashiale and now my favoured Hato. Veiga is even far better than these chickens.

Many thought Arteta was being silly when he went on a shopping spree of defenders. His second CB options Mosquera and Hincapie shits on everything we have in our squad rn and that's not even up for debates.

To even make matters worse, the tinkerman we have as a manager can't just relax and get a steady CB partnership. Who rotates CBs in football? Two fools who have established a good understanding can be managed at the back than two confused good players.

This man just dey overdo pass Pep wey even teach am the job.

Why we no get victor tori olohun
Victor will stop us from leaking in goals every game day? He scored a hatty while his team conceded how many?

Victor will score two and the weyrey dem wey full our back will throw away the lead with horrendous defending. Shey na Victor will stop Tosin the scam from constantly passing the ball to his defensive partners who are in disadvantageous positions every now and then?

Weren't we three goals ahead against Wolves of all teams barely weeks ago before scrambling for a win in the dying minutes of the game?

We can't announce as ourselves as a threat in England or even Europe with our defensive base, it's a joke, if you like go and sign prime Ronaldo de Lima. It's simply counterproductive to work hard to find the back of the net only to give the ball away in your own area.

We were conceding an average over 1.5 goals per game last season. How do you challenge with such stat? When some of us clamoured for defensive reinforcements last season, some football neophytes came with the delusional theory that the only way to win is to keep outscoring your opponent. Such a delusional idea that you'll expect from a 16-year-old football manager.

So what significant difference will Victor's signing make? The delusional theorists who said Jackson was the reason we weren't winning games have JP and Delap in the team now, so why still complaining after booting the lad out?

I'm sure Victor will arrive and same delusional cross section of fans will start demanding for Kylian Mbappe.

Arsenal had Merino who's naturally a midfielder spearheading their attack against Slavia on Tuesday in the absence of three of their strikers, they scored three and conceded no goal.

The earlier you all understood a solid midfield base and an astute defensive line are the primary areas of concern in a team the better for you lot. I mentioned last season that an attack that can average 1.5 goals per game is good enough to win your titles given you have a solid defensive and midfield base - Arteta is living this dream.

It's only a delusional fantasist who has no ground knowledge of the game will ask his team to keep scoring without setting up a firm foundation for those attacking outlets to thrive upon. You'll end up scoring two and conceding three - clowns.
