If you're an Arsenal fan, please mark yourself safe. I'm worried.

PietroRico:
watch him sustain this campaign for the next few years as Aguero inevitably declines and then starts forming 'I told you so' like he did with Terry.

Very treacherous somebody, this man

I thought i was the only one keeping tabs

Nihilist:
Oboi thus game sweet die sha

Not enjoying the game, the goals maybe.

Quite a scrappy fixture

PietroRico:
our legendary aparious shape-shifting ogbomosho Baba don dey display again?

!lol

Quite legendary!

raumdeuter:
I don't regard local champions like Hazard Terry Aguero and flat track bullies, Show up when the occasion is Yuuge. That is why I will never say any wrong word about Drogba or Lampard(except when provoked)

Drogba 280 goals in 651 career games
Cavani 262 goals in 443 career games
Higuain 248 goals in 469 career games
Aguero 267 goals in 487 career games

According to you all these strikers are better than Drogba

I know if I have a big game who to call

In two months, you've gone from Aguero can't press well, so he isn't world class, to Aguero doesn't score again, he's missing sitters and just today to Aguero doesn't score in big games, so he isn't a top forward.

What's the next one liner? Aguero doesn't own a red boot, so he's useless?

Sir, your jokes are no longer funny.

Nihilist:
Watching Goals on Sunday.

Aguero has now scored as many goals for City as Drogba did for Chelsea, despite playing 130+ games less.

Raumdeuter mind yasef o.

Some folks need to buy a dictionary and check up the definition of 'prolific'.

When those airheads from the Bayern thread came preaching about Aguero being crap n' overrated, I knew it was that time of the year sh!t got serious.

C'mon, for one to appear smart, he'd have to assert something silly, then hopes luck gives his silly assertion a lift. They've tried that with Boateng, now they're scaling greater height with the idiotic approach with Sergio Kun Aguero.

But Apostle has gone to court seeking an injunction to prevent Stephanie from publishing any damaging evidence in her possession
And also seeking for one billion in damages.
Hasn't she been served?

Otobo's kiss and tell is the most annoying thing in this saga. She was handsomely paid yet she can't keep her mouth shot.
Maybe, God is using her to expose some things and that could be why they couldn't kill her with poison, wizardry and thugs in the local branches.
Call logs!
I always knew Oyibo will help her, she doesn't need to pay to the service provider. The Omega team should prepare to dismiss the records when eventually released as Cloned because I don't think the Oyibo women in the Telecom will accept any egunje in matters like this against their fellow woman.

God aint using her to expose nada, APC are using her.

I dey listen bros. Gimme PortHarcourt boy by Wene Mighty abeg

Chai boss, the station is on an auto-play mode. Those selections were arranged to play. I couldn't get there this morning 'cos I had an accident on my way to work.

Apologies.

I can relate with these signs b'cos I've been in a relationship that was on the brink of collapse.

But then, something can be done to restore the no longer existing feelings, and that's a very good round of sex. I don't know about you but this works wonders.

Getting laid in a good way has a way of reminding you emotionally detached two what you stand to lose when the relationship is over hence the need to repair the cracks on the relationship.

Getting laid in a good way also tend to create a bond between you two, a bond that has ceased to exist in your relationship.

A doggy in the tub with my then emotionally detached chick, was all I needed to breathe a new lease of life into our dying relationship. She bought me a new shirt and perfume the next day, something she hadn't done in nearly four months.

Guess that banging sent signals

Nothing new there, an average Nigerian woman does it

Nihilist:
Can, WIjnaldum and Henderson combined do not have half the talent that David Silva has in his big toe. There are levels to this ish.

MSN are also 3 men. You won't expose your defence to them because your defence regularly eats a trio of Redmond, Shane Long, and J.Rodriguez for dinner. Which is why even after Matic came on, Costa was dragged down by Conte to track back on the left flank. Which is why when Willian came on, the only thing he did was sit in midfield and track back. Willian made only THREE passes yesterday. THREE.

Context is the key to everything.

There was nothing like Poor positioning from Fabregas or Kante. The 2 of them were simply not enough to contest the midfield with City. Instead the City attacks were snuffed out at Centre back level where we had the advantage. City only had 2 shots in the box that 1st half...compared to 5 from outside the box. In fact, the only times we really looked like conceding was when Matic allowed Stones and then Kompany free headers in the box from set pieces. One of those headers was straight at Courtois, the other hit the Bar.

I don't want to do a Fab vs Matic argument today bros, but I just want you to know that a formation change was what happened yesterday, not a personnel change. Dazall.

Context please. Are we discussing being outnumbered in the middle of the park or the artistry of Silva?

Ibime:
We have been playing 3-4-3 all season with Matic and Kante and never heard about needing a 3rd midfielder until today. Matic and Kante were always sufficient.

This is simply a case of Matic benefitting from the narrative Fabregas has enjoyed all season. All season, Fabregas came off the bench and we all noticed an improvement in our attacking play and lauded him for it. Matics 90 minute defensive contribution was swept under the carpet in that narrative. Today for the first time, Matic came off the bench and we all noticed an improvement in our defensive play.

Sometimes you need a stark contrast to set a narrative. Matic got the same narrative yesterday that Fabregas has got all season on the attacking side. No need to be salty about it. Even the coach acknowledged it.

Nihilist my gee, this has been nailed.

Nihilist:
And like I said to you last night, bringing Matic on in the 2nd half had nothing to do with Cesc's performance.

If Cesc was the issue, Conte would have made a straight swap with Matic. Instead, he brought Matic on to join Cesc.

I put it to you that if Conte had kept the same 343 with Matic instead of Cesc, the exact same thing would have continued to happen, quite simply due to the numerical advantage City had in central midfield with Delph, Fernandinho, and Silva.

Brah it had nothing to do with numerical advantage.

Against Liverpool at Anfield, It was Can, Wijnaldum and Henderson vs Kante and Matic. We weren't penetrated, and were unlucky not to have won that game.

Against Spurs at home, It was Dembele, Wanyama, Erikson and the ever-playing-from-deep Alli vs Kante and Matic. We won that tie without being penetrated much.

What you saw lastnite was poor midfield positioning n' awareness on display, not being at a numerical disadvantage.

What have you all got on Zouma's performance?

I think he was pretty solid in the first half and needs more game time.

Ibime:
Those who think Matic brings nothing to Chelsea midfield should watch Danny Murphy's analysis on MOTD.

He just broke down how Matic fills the holes in midfield.

Like I told Nihilist last-nite, It's something Cesc can't do.

Being a CM isn't just about the touches and vision. Good positioning and great awareness are traits that are required most.

We all saw how Citeh were slicing through our midfield when Cesc and Kante were doing the shift, you can't compare that to when Matic came on.

The difference was clear as 7up.

Only an ediot would assert that Aguero is done. This nigga is a phucking threat!

Willian on for Cesc!

Nihilist:
Matic is on to put numbers in midfield, nothing more. If there was a problem with individual performance in midfield, it's a midfielder that would have come off.

Cesc's creativity is needed in a game of this sort, Matic is on to complement.

Nihilist:
What do you want them to do? They are 2 men marking 3. Our own 3rd man is at centre back. If they like, they should run through midfield all they want. They still have one man against our 3 centre backs. Apart from that goal Courtois dashed them, what chance have they created? Outside the free goal, they've only had 2 shots from inside the box.

Staying compact is the idea. No matter how useless Matic is, you can't find him drifted away from the action zone.

Cesc doesn't understand 'cos he's no Dm.

Matic is on, Conte dey observe sha

Nihilist:
City are playing 3 in midfield vs our 2.

That's why Silva us seeing space to run in to. Has nothing to do with Matic's absence.

It's not even about the 3 or Silva, it's about how our 2 are going about the business of screening the defence.

It's horrendous!

Hazaaaaaaarard

Oboy they are having a field day in our midfield. Are y'all seeing those through balls and runs?

That's why you need Matic, we're not compact.

Courtois your papa

Hazard is a daredevil, oboy see drive.

I love the way we're absorbing their pressure, so easily.

Goooaallll

Swansea with a goal, let's go there!

Nihilist:
We get match today. How you gonna get to the bridge from France now?

Hehehe

I'm going in fellas!
