Palmer has been ghosting all through the game and shoulda been the one to step out but you can’t help but think he’ll come alive at the wider areas, now that we have Broja to occupy the two CBs.

[color=royalblue]Bowing out when the ovation is loudest?

or staying at the top for a long time?[/color]
I suppose staying at the top for a long time. Like I said earlier on, creativity has elasticity. Worst case, it can be mentally exhausting.

Many of these top gaffers take sabbaticals to catch up a bit with life, reinvent themselves and come back strong. It’s just normal with every single human.

Impossicant.
Those are two different statements. I’m saying Klopp should take a bow at Anfield and join Madrid when he’s done with his Sabbatical.

Hmmmm....

EPL no be chais o! Na so Gerrard go unbeaten at Rangers, win league only to chop sack at Aston Villa.
Gerrard wasn’t fully tested, the Scottish league lacks the quality to test a manager’s mettle. If given the chance, I can roll over those Hibernians, St. Mirren, Dundee Utd etc

On the contrary, Alonso’s run is in a league brimming with talents, top managers and top sides. You can’t take it away from him. What he’s doing can’t be replicated every day and it’s with even relatively unknown young chaps.

He took the Arsene Wenger route. That was how the baba announce that year he's leaving out of the blues
I understand him fully tho. Even Pep needed sabbatical at some point. Creativity has elasticity. He should take a bow and join Madrid later. Xabi to Liverpool.

You will see more of that from Enzo when Lavia returns and cement his place in the team. Most chelsea fans don’t know Enzo covers Gallagher’s technical inefficiency which limit his free role as a CM. M’boro wanted to sit deep and defend their one goal lead you think with Gallagher as number 10 that we can break their defensive line. I like Gallagher’s strength and passion for the club but if we really want to dominate and win games against low block teams he shouldn’t be a starter, he should be coming from the bench to defend lead. He is not a starting material for any serious and big club, he is just like James Milner.
Ben Ben, did you copy this from anywhere?

It’s unlike you man, going hard on punditry like you’re some Jim Beglin or something.

BlueMann:
Bilbao must have a thing for keepers with this kind of name
Not just keepers, most of their players as well.

Those are boys born in the Basque region of Spain. As you know, Athletic Bilbao have an unwritten rule whereby the club will only sign players who were born in the Basque Country or who learned their football skills at a Basque club.

That is like Enyimba sticking to an age long philosophy of recruiting only players born or who learned their football skills within the South East. Normally, every year you go dey come across names like Emeka and Chidi in their lineups.

The day Luiz was supposed to lift his country in front of millions of fans, he was lifting Neymar jersey

While great defenders like Boateng were lifting world cup, Luiz was lifting Neymar jersey

Benzema has been offered to Chelsea and would take him on a short-term deal until the end of the season. They may be encouraged by his new training situation.

Head coach Marcelo Gallardo has told him to train away from the main group.

To everyone saying Etoo was hotheaded during his playing days, that’s an undeniable fact yeah, but that isn’t even the point.

The onus is on “performance”. Etoo despite being mulish and sturdy in resisting correction and change, would still give his 100% whenever on the field of play.

It was much better for him to bounce the National call than appear and give a half-baked performance. Hence he’s emphasizing on understanding the responsibility that comes with putting on the Cameroonian jersey.

In all, I think the real issue with the indomitable lions lies with their technical department. Either the gaffer and his crew are running short of ideas or they simply had none.

These guys don’t even have a playing style.

It’s a statement of intent. Him fit flush most of those guys, keep just a few, comb Europe and Cameroon for younger players.

Samuel Eto'o's direct message to the Cameroonian players after the defeat against Senegal:

"Dear brothers, I understand you. Many of you were not born in Cameroon and have never played for a club in Cameroon.

The advice of a Cameroonian coach is beneficial to a footballer from the start of his career until the end. You who were born there have too many rights over the leaders. Cameroon taught me that I am a soldier within the National team. I will die with this spirit.

Cameroon has just gone through humiliation just because love for the Fatherland is not 100% there. Excuse me for talking about myself. I could play two matches on the same day for the love of our beautiful country. I did it, Roger Milla did it and François Omam Biyick did it.

Do you believe that Cameroon paid us more than our clubs? Not even 1/10 of what we received elsewhere.

You play with too many reserves, what are you afraid of? Dying for the homeland surpasses all the money on this earth. Manga Onguené broke his foot for this country, he was better than me at the time. He continues to respect his country despite everything.

What I remember from you this Friday. We made a mistake bringing you in to play for the flag. But after the AFCON, things will change. We are going to do a patriotism test before having young Cameroonians play in the National team. Good continuity in the competition!"

Omo Eto went so emotional on this.

What balance was Frank Lampard lacking that Tuchel had to win the UCL with the same Chelsea.

What balance was Rafa Benitez lacking with real Madrid that Zidane had that made him successful than Benitez?
You’re drawing up analogies with sides that were balanced, bar Chelsea who had no ‘proven’ CF.

70% of the issues Tuchel and Zidane would have worried about had already been sorted out before their arrivals with the teams at their disposal, all they needed to do was to bring their ‘A game’ to the table, their 30%, the edge they have over their predecessors.

What you should be showing me are teams that had structural deficiencies but still went ahead to be successful. That’s the crux of the argument.
