I know Disasi is hated on this board but there's something I've noticed about him. He has this ability to thread passes through the middle of the pitch and catching the opponent off guard. The goal Palmer scored against Luton is a perfect example. He does it time and time again. Perhaps, this is why he keeps playing.

Kudos to Petrovic. What a calming presence at the back. Doesn't take unnecessary risks. Passes when he needs to, boots it out when needed. If he was in goal against Assnal, we will be 7 points behind them.

I said it here first, I’m more relaxed watching Petrovic than Sanchez.

One is calm and composed, the other has shaky legs and a jittery look.

Bobb is a top player, and not quite academy. Many clubs have been hunting him from 12 years old. City signed him at 17 from Norway as well as a whole host of top youngsters over the last 3 to 5 years along with the likes of Lavia, Pedro Porro and many others

If your club was not offering competitive packages and spending on the best youngsters at that time, don't expect Arteta to magic up talent from nowhere. City Football group own 12 football clubs and various soccer centers so young players know they will get ample games in at least one of those clubs for their development, and they get lucrative offers for their age, world class training facilities and even a very good stadium for their youth team. City can also filter 1,000 youngsters through their various clubs and academies and present a ready made diamond to Pep that's been tested and proven. Most times they sell such quality youngsters to balance their books as a business strategy before even giving them a chance, that anyone they decide to keep, just know he is the business. It's Arteta vs a whole structure.

City have long flogged Manure hands down for talent in Manchester and NorthWest England because of this structure. Go and check out James McAtee at Sheffield Utd and Tommy Doyle at Wolves, these are City youngsters on loan there that can play for top 6 sides, and they are way down the pecking order to Oscar Bobb. City is low-key the Brighton of the big clubs, except they sell their academy talent at £10m-£20m just to tidy their books rather than give them chance like Brighton and run up their value to £50m+. See stadium their youth team play in, with a walkway to the main stadium, while Arsenal are still borrowing a decrepit Borehamwood, home stadium of a non league club as home ground for their youth and women. Arteta is just one man. The Saka and Martinelli we are seeing, na him give them chance, just like Nketiah, Smith-Rowe, Reiss Nelson, Joe Willock and even Odegaard to a lesser extent. He can't do pass his strength and support structure.

Citeh as a franchise are just finely run. One can’t help but just envy them.

nateevs:
Hehehe. Chilwell back to LW

Poch and football manager

Itsrm:
That pass is so Guardiola team like. He learnt well from apari

Pep-esque indeed.

The lad has been our turning point this season. Who can even thread such pass in this team bar him?

With Fulham pressing so hard on their own area, throwing bodies behind the ball, you simply need a Palmer.

Sublime defense splitting pass.

And he picks the ball and buries the pen in the onion bag.

We lead at the break.

Palmer is a criminal. What a pass.

BlueMann:
Enzo looking good. No surprise he's spent more time than usual playing deep. Caicedo not looking isolated as usual

Good observation. You can see the impact he’s making today.

I rarely see his heat map around our own half but they’re all over the place today.

Good press so far. Rejecting space all over the pitch.

That’s how it should be.

Henry140:
Abeg make fulham run am for me today, my life depends on it

Have you said your last prayers?

Chilwell and Carney makes match day squad.

Someone has to pray for that man now.

Ibime:
No, that was Terem Moffi

We already have Osimhen. Moffi and Kelechi, what is Onuachu coming to do again

That sloth.

Just imagine the height of corruption at the NFF glasshouse. You had a fit Moffi kept in your provisional list then jetted off to the mundial with Sadiq?

Like who are the idiots that runs Nigeria’s football?

Lawma?

E be like your yard are renowned for disposing trash for gutter

timbros:
One question, how old is he?

You should know the age range these Americans sign since they took over.

Baba na Alisha Lehmann go answer this one.

That chick wey dey Villa Women team wey him dey nyansh.

Can we just tempt Villa with a bid for Douglas Luiz?

I look at our Central midfield options and I’m gutted at what we have at our disposal. A crocked one, a passenger, a soon-to-be out of contract one and of course the poor Ecuadorian who has become a shadow of himself.

Luiz is literally the engine behind Villa’s solid performances. Man is dominant. Having such ball playing, imposing figure in our midfield will definitely get some weight off Caicedo’s feet while giving Enzo the freedom to take his showboating to another level.

I’m sure Gallagher will be sold and I can’t even trust Lavia to stay fit. We’ll be literally left with Caicedo and Enzo as the only two available CM options in a matter of months. Ugochukwu is a goat.

Canada.

Leyqute:
Vlahovic is in the mould of guys like Jimenez. He may not score 40 goals like Haaland but I'm certain he'll score more than Jackson in this Chelsea side.

This Chelsea side creates chances and Dusan is hardly profligate.

Outscoring Jackson is an understatement, he’ll hit 20+ with this team.

See who’s in goal in that line up

BlueMann:
I for drop one kind mad epistle for my Golden boy, but as today na my birthday, I say make I chill.

+1 today. Make una help me thank God

Happy birthday brother. LLNP

liveLongNprospa:
The gifts are different from the cash.

Bro I nor fit keep up with wetin that woman Don get.
She had to refuse a generator just now because someone had gifted her 250k for generator earlier.

I read she’s been gifted scholarships, pro bono legal service, furniture, a freezer, window blind, website, AC, free web designing classes, remote job, free couple session, shoes, one year health insurance, clothes, data analysis classes, 200k NNPC Petrol voucher etc

What a way to start the year!

Ibime:
So na Macallister been dey carry Enzo for that Argentina midfield?

Cos the Enzo I saw in World Cup was not lazy like this

He was carried by De Paul and Mac.

Try rewatching Argentina’s WC games, you’ll clearly see that the engine that were marshaling the middle of the park, initiating play for the forward line, covering large grounds and breaking up play, were mainly De Paul and Mc.

All Enzo had to do was move up the field as the extra man in attack, then run back to midfield to retain a central overload when their team are off the ball. I’ll give him credit for that tho, he carried that out effectively.

On a good day, man is just a golden egg that must be given a safe landing wherever he goes.

Unlimited22:
We know those that watch football with their nostrils.

The dude has essentially been playing one man midfield this season. If you doubt am check our average position per game and see the wide swathes of space around him. Na why I dey vex say Lavia dey injury.

Enzo is the short one in that midfield.

At Brighton, McAllister was doing 2.3 tackles per 90 minutes last season, while returning a tackle success rate of 72.6% in the process. Such number would have you thinking that his midfield partner was being carried along but that isn’t the case, Caicedo to prove the man he is went as high as 89 tackles (only bettered by Palhinha in the league), returning an impressive tackle success rate of 80.3%.

It’s no fluke. He commits unusual errors lately, looks like his confidence is wearing off, isn’t recording those numbers anymore because he has to put up with Enzo who only strolls and jog around the pitch forming one kind Lekki drug baron.

While at Benfica, same Enzo was still carried along by Florentino who averages around 3.4 tackles per 90 for Benfica. With Argentina, it’s same story.

Fernandez na proper baller but also a proper passenger and it’s the hardworking Caicedo and Gallagher who MUST take the blame for anything that goes wrong in that midfield.

hensben:
Same Rice that Caceido is better than. Only Rodri is better than Caceido and that’s because he is at his peak. When Rodri was in Caceido’s age he wasn’t known.

Rice is a more efficient machine than Caicedo.

I Stan for Caicedo don’t forget.

Itsrm:
Caicedo always gives me joy. Only blind people say he's a 25m player.

My boy is just 22. Naysayers go thank Brighton someday.

TemporaryHansel:
Too much or too low?

Stupid at best.

A shrewd 10m real estate investment can fetch him that 16m car within a year (since na that one be him problem), with some extra millions left to reinvest with.

He wouldn’t need to lose anything. That’s money working for you.

Ibime I keep getting this message each time I try to create an account with these guys.

Are Nigerian IPs flagged on their website?

The only reason so many Nigerians don’t realize we’re in an economic depression is because Nigerians are used to hardships, it has been our way of life for so long.

We were beaten into submission by the government and the demonic structure many decades ago.

Every four years, there’s a promise of a New Nigeria, Fresh Air and Change. The retards would get lured into the tribal game and religious fanaticism. At the end, the retards’ preferred “incompetent” candidate gets elected at the expense of a “manageable” candidate, and so the vicious cycle of corruption and poverty continues.

We never ready to be free sha. We are inadvertently responsible for what we are going through and I’ll tell you for free, it’s going to get worse.

If you have your way, Japa!

airmark:
Your bro na baller.

Will like to see more of him under Intense midfield play and Ibime should table his matter before agent Attah.

I pray he makes your family proud at the biggest stage.

Amen brother.

oliverano:
Yeah, it'll help him. If you want to attach pics, add the one that he's tackling since nah good but unknown DM!

Online he's 23 and 28. His age should stay one place. Get that right too.

No guarantees but it'll help!

Thanks mate.

Baba Roland17 thanks for the insight. I have done that
