There is no way coman will play ahead of dembozo

As don’t be surprised to see upamechanic ahead of Saliba who is the better player

Normally Ben yedder should be at this euros ,but fairs to legendary giroud
Well, let’s say a starting berth for Coman ahead of Dembele is a personal preference.

Upamecano? Not possible. You can’t leave the Bayern bench to cement a place in the French team first XI.

Canada have given France a very good match. It has been an even matchup and they've had some good chances, but Jonathan David has avoided the use of sense today

The biggest takeaway is that Kante still has it. Nothing close to finished, and if anything, he will be one of their most important players
Logged on to ask, “So Kante is still Kante?”

They’ve got a great team, were close to grabbing a winner through Kolo Muani and Mbappe but the finishing weren’t just clinical enough.

Deschamp must adopt this setup at the Euros if he must win it:

(4-2-1-3): Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Konate, Theo Hernandez; Tchouameni, Camavinga; Griezmann; Coman, Giroud, Mbappe.

Aside maybe Alphonso Davies, Reece James is greater than current Bayern defenders - all of them combined!
Even the Davies gan, Reece is more defensively astute than him.

The only boy that comes close to what James is has to be Kimmich, but that’s when he isn’t playing as a DM.

You only have high hopes for Madueke next season, there’s no guarantee he’ll deliver the wares. I’ve seen him come good today only to blow cold next day. Such form isn’t what we need next season.

Bar the hefty price tag, between Olise and Madueke, I’ll pick the former even without batting an eyebrow.

We thank God Boateng career ended like this. At this age, Raumdeuter was shining spotlight on every small mistake Terry did at Chelsea. We told him to wait till Boateng is 33, talkless of 36

Well it's his choice to continue playing. I don't mind players dropping down levels to keep playing if they truly enjoy the game. Some guys just love football and it's their right to be dropping divisions and leagues to continue enjoying the game they love. Although Boateng doesn't strike me as someone playing for love. Maybe he wasted his money
That nigga doesn’t love football, the comic part of the game maybe.

How can you love football and you’ll be flying up and down in Nou Camp?

I saw on Twitter that Mikel is claiming that Drogba and him were the reasons Nigerians started supporting Chelsea

Who will say they started supporting Chelsea because of Mikel who was on the bench most of the time

If you planned to watch Chelsea because of Mikel then you won't see him at all

Truth is Roman purchase blew up Chelsea fanbase in Nigeria then Mourinho

I'll say Kanu moved more Nigerians to a football club (Arsenal) than anyone

One of my childhood friends who used to support Chelsea in the mid 90s switched to Arsenal when Kanu moved
Mikel no well.

Where was he when Arjen Robben and Damien Duff dey give me joy?

He's going to be the new Chelsea manager. All of the others were just to make us think they were options.

Here we are. First order of the day is making palm nut soup while the mental patient keeps hallucinating

Chinua Achebe said a good soup is judged by dipping palm fronds in the pot to see if it touches the bottom of the pot. Failure to touch the bottom indicates plenty protein activity in the soup. Protein Ito go in this soup includes periwinkles, cockles, mussels, stockfish, hake fish, shaki, cowfoot, oxtail and goat meat

Apart from the fact that Okpansukkaisbae has never seen such protein in his life, what is the relevance of this information? Well the freezer is full and all Okpa must go in the bin to make space for this soup.

Okpa belongs in the bin anyday and anytime. I feel bad throwing Okpa in a Brabantia bin that costs £90, which is about N170k, or equivalent to 2 months of Okpansukkaisbae monthly salary

I beg to disagree, both tactics and players are to be blamed for missing out on top 5. At a point we had to name kids and 3 goalkeepers due to injuries and suspensions, in some games the players let the coach down especially in the Carabao Cup final and FA semifinal against City.
There is no way you are going to maintain consistency necessary for a top 5 push with bunch of players blowing hot and cold every matchday, the near consistent performers were Palmer, Gallagher, Gusto and to some extent Caicedo. How can a team perform regularly with this combo of problems tactically naive coach and subpar players?
Just what I’ve been highlighting but it seems baba nateevs never get the gist.

It’s so glaring even to the blind.

To be fair, they never said that. They only said a manager that can go toe-to-toe with Pep and Arteta.
It’s a dead-end course, no manager can go toe-to-toe with Pep and Arteta with our unbalanced and to an extent inexperienced squad.

These owners are just exhibiting a cinema and it’s not even funny.

We can’t win the title with the squad we have, we must tell ourselves the truth. These new owners needs to ditch their project, get a top manager of Mancini’s pedigree, plan how to escape FFP hit after prioritizing signings of a top No9 and a top CB, then give the manager the freedom to work.

Planning to challenge the league’s best two managers with this squad is comical, the only thing I can deduce from their statement is that they’re asking the new manager to come and humor us.

From this graphics so your standard is Pep or Pep former assistant

Pep is the standard here, you better hijack Kompany another Pep trainee
Sadly, it is rightly that.

With these new owners, I feel we have met our waterloo as a franchise. The ambition is so little that you wonder if we would ever win the title again in the next decade.

Instead of designing a model that is entirely different from that of your opposition, a model that could pose a big threat, you’re seriously modeling your own ideas after that of your opposition.

Pep and Arteta are the standard the new manager must meet? Like WTF?

What happened to selling a project to Zidane or Mancini? Ditch this failed project and work on something different?

Who advices these idiots?

You want your manager to challenge the two best gaffers in the country and you’re thinking of Ikenna? Ikenna that doesn’t even have the chutzpah to challenge his elder brother Emeka over their piece of land close to the stream?

Misplaced priority!

Kompany to Bayern

Raumdeuter right now grin
Omo eh. Most teams have lost it. Shortsighted ideologies, models and projects floating around.

What’s Kompany’s footballing philosophy and how does it align with that of Bayern? Gidigbo football player and manager.

Just look at the foolish names being linked to us.

The only top footballing teams who have serious, credible and working projects are Arsenal, Real Madrid and City. The rest are just confused.

Look at the stability of the Arsenal squad, the age structure, adopted style of play and contract policy. You find yourself looking at a club that is highly sustainable.

We are just joking around with these two jokers who are masquerading as owners.

BlueAngel444:
a 4-3-3 would be better or we stick with this so called "3-3-4"

It's better we get a CF than buy Olise.

By the way I don't see why Madueke has to be sold because of Olise when Palmer and even Madueke can play false 9.

We don't need Olise self, honestly we have 2 more AMs in Gallagher and Chukwuemeka who can also play CM.


Even if we need an extra winger Hutchinson would make a good squad player instead of affecting Madueke's current rise.

Angelo will still storm ligue 1 next season, while Paez and Estevao hopefully storm American ⚽. Olise is not a player we need.

Imagine if we switch to 433 seeing that we have midfielders, Palmer and Madueke can play RW and we will be looking at Nkunku Artem* Palmer as front three with Gallagher Enzo Caicedo behind them
You only have high hopes for Madueke next season, there’s no guarantee he’ll deliver the wares. I’ve seen him come good today only to blow cold next day. Such form isn’t what we need next season.
