Ibime:
I don't have time to be watching foreign football like before, that's all. If Chelsea is linked with a foreign player, I will usually go and check him out on YouTube these days.

Oh I see. No hard feelings though. #peace

Ibime:
Based on what did you observe this?

We have being on this board for long so I have observe that about you; your football scouting knowledge is mostly centered around English leagues. You rarely praise or talk about foreign players.

Havertz10:
i will have the last laugh, when mark henry returns and play stagnates then tuchel starts experimenting with 352 and you people start attacking our players for not creating chances

I understand what you are saying. If we have ucl tomorrow I will prefer tuchel to use Havertz upfront instead of lukaku. Lukaku make us predictable upfront because he is not technical with the ball.

timbros:
The team is like a full human, with body parts.

That your leg literally took you from point A to point B doesn't mean it's the most important body part to execute that trek. Eye wey see road when you are trekking is important. Ear wey hear wen car beep horn and make you to dodge it is important. Hand wey swing to make trekking easier is important. Even neck wey turn your head left and right before you cross road dey important.

What am I saying? All these Chilwell, Kova, Silva, James, Chalobah you mentioned are just part of the team, the same way the eye and nose and mouth and hand and leg form parts of the body.

That they outshine Jorginho in a game, maybe by scoring or providing assist, doesn't mean they outshine Jorg in his role.

You can't point one outstanding best player in Chelsea presently. That's how good the team is.

In summary, Tuchel is the difference here, his tactical understanding of the game is too notch.

donjazet:
You dey mind Ibime. he has allowed hate to cloud his sense of judgement.
Just see sweet control and composure. I keep saying it, we're very lucky guardiola did not lay hand on jorginho.
We just can't value our own. Even when the world of football has done that. Ibime dey use old man football sense dey watch ball.

In as much as I don’t like Jorginho type of DM you are right about Ibime thinking football in an old fashion, he likes English players too much with their cross and nod football, their coupon type of football

donjazet:
This is an irrational logic.
All our players have offered their best when called upon in bits and pieces but jorgs has been ever present. I'm not going to pick our best players Sha, it's too close to call seeing as everyone is performing very well but the fact that we have very few mainstays in this run give those few the upper hand, for their consistencies.

And also, Jorginho is doing the most easy job for the team; he only help to maintain possession and we mostly have possession against most teams.

Ibunkun1:
, see as he serious with am

I Dey suspect this Rudiger, the way him Dey act lately is suspicious, probably taking some substance on code.

Leyqute:
Make we exchange managers. I take God beg you.

Some of your players are lazy and unserious, they need to be shipped out for hard working players. In football talent is not enough to succeed, you need hard working and determine players too. Ole doesn’t rotate hence making some players who are lazy to be comfortable as starting 11. Your attackers don’t press and they don’t join in marking when the team is without the ball. Sell fringe players in the team to sign a solid CDM.

I just hear another board meeting. This one pass nigeria politicians. e clear say na this people teach naija politician wayo.

CrystalTiger:
Shey e dey cover ear for int'l break...Somebody thats been off form for weeks ffs..Yet this clown keeps starting him..

English quota system. Imagine a foreign player turn out like Maguire.

User09:
We play a lot better with him. Every unbiased person knows this.

I was particularly impressed by his link-up play in this game

I agree with you, we play a lot better with him than with Lukaku. False9 don’t need to score to prove a point but to hold and orchestrate which he do very well. There is a reason I said no Havertz slander will be tolerated. Btw, I’m not a fan of lukaku style of play or his type of striker.

macjireh:
but 2 of dem just combined to get d 3rd goal...I hardly question TTs decision... He's a master

Im happy they prove me wrong.

Tuchel bringing in two lazy players will become a problem. Pulisic is easily subdued while Zyech don’t mark and only spam crosses.

Ole can’t teach intensity play, on or off the ball and can’t coach one two passes so he is a poor coach.

Jodera:
Even after winning Fa cup, Rodgers is still disrespected. Even with better squad, tell ole to show you trophy, na wash!

Anyone wanting to play this Leicester team would be ready to bring out their best squad compared to when a team wants to play Watford or Norwich but but the coach is not good.

If no be say na legend ish still dey keep ole till now, I no sure this argument go crop up.

Its not even an argument Ole nor even near Rogers for coaching. Ole that can not coach a team how to exchange passes for a minute without loosing the ball.

Expert17:
Lol, OLE's shameful EPL record at Cardiff:

- Employed as Cardiff's Manager with 18 games left.
- Won 3, Draw 3 and Lost 12.
- Scored 17 goals; Conceded 42 goals.
-League position - 20th


The fraudster signed at least 4-5 players immediately

in order words, Man U sign failures as manager and captain.

Leyqute:
He is not way better than Ole abeg.

To say person be Olodo for Harvard no mean say UNILAG first class graduate sabi book pass am.

Rogers and Ole nor be mate. Ole na average coach.

donstan18:
Tuchel don’t deal with players with pride and hungry for individual recognition.

Pep love fast intelligent young players.

They’ll overhaul manU

Tuchel will make use of them, only Cr7 is big there. However pep will overhaul the team seeing that most players don’t play his style of football(expensive football).

Joezinho:
Stop spewing this hogwash. That team's qualification for the 2006 WC was collective. They had the toure brothers, Eboue, zakora, Kalou, Aruna kone and a host of others fine players including Dindane (scorer of 7 goals during the qualifiers).

He did not singlehandedly qualify them. Make una nor dey hype drogba like say that team nor be golden generation.

Go watch cameroun vs civ wc qualification and see how Drogba singlehandedly won that game for them, then cameroun was hot, it was a must win for civ which Drogba delivered. Yaya toure wasn't even playing nor starting for them then, same with Didane. Drogba scored a free kick and a header. I think mou came to watch that game then. Get your fact clear.

ALEXAPLAYME:
Sine the guy asked about ucl.
Please
Where is drogba ballon dor?
Where is drogba world cup trophy?
Did drogba ever win any trophies with his country?

Understand context here, Drogba won with a team perceived as underdog then while Brazil was all stars. Henry couldn’t win ucl with Arsenal after his records there, he had to run to barca consisting of quality players to win it. Before Drogba CIV was a tin pot nation in football, he brought them to limelight by qualifying them to wc, he was that hot, from there the team started having quality players and playing good. Drogba won with underdog teams. But anyways, Ronaldo>Henry>Drogba any time any day.

Wow so mbappe is 22 years old. That guy is really doing too much for his age. That’s commendable. He is very mature with his play and talented too, same charisma Mount has just that mbappe is more talented. I love hybrid player, they last long.

Ibime:
Have you checked Senegal and Algeria squad. Senegal have World Class players in almost every position from Goalkeeper to forwards. Algeria also have them French league ballers aplenty

All I know is before Rohr, we failed to qualify for 3 out of 4 AFCONS. Rohr has had the best run of any coach in 2 decades. Only a Mahrez freekick and some extremely poor refereeing against Argentina seperates him from our best results ever. Take it or leave it.

You are right though. I don’t fancy our indigenous coaches, they are easily bribed to play their friend’s favorite and lack motivation.

raumdeuter:
This same person who claimed English is not his 5th language

Get it into your score, You don't know anything just like your principal

Yes English is not my first language. Any problem with that. You goofed baba, make we talk true.

airmark:
Quoting Equivalent in mathematics without any attached link. This is an all-time low for you.

You are a disgrace to all OAU alumni dead or alive, who must have expected you to consult your dictionary before this dance of macabre.

Olodo Copa America is equivalent of Euros cup i.e EQUAL IN VALUE to Euros.

raumdeuter Bleep up for this one. Him go carry mathematics definition to define a noun phrase.

airmark:


Equivalent as a word has the same meaning from Ogbomosho to Buenos aires, before they conceived you. Feyingbole Grammar School graduate disgracing himself as usual.

Kai.

MorataFC:
abeg, don't disrespect my European countries, you mean countries like, Andora, Gilbrata, San marino, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Luxembourg Kosovo... Etc dont give u some unforgettable mouthwatering matches?
I thought oga raum and co. said there's no competitive games in south America compared to Europe.

We only have few teams in Europe that can defeat Peru ��. European teams overhyped themselves.

Skimpledawg:
Thanks everyone.

I and wifey appreciates!

Congrats bro.

raumdeuter:
hensben can never argue against this

did he score more than Drogba

UncleHaba22:
I don't even know why am wasting my time arguing what is not even supposed to be compared


Neymar is better than Hazard as long as football is concerned


Neymar's past is Hazard's future

Neymar of Santos is already bigger than hazard before he even arrived europe


I repeat Neymar's past is Hazard's future

I understand you are trying to console yourself after the truth.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]You haven't answered his question

Is Divork Origi better than Harry Kane?[/color]

Origi is not a regular player, he is a sub.

HewlettPackard:
For me statistical variables remains the best option, they are devoid of subjective interpretations.

How would you define accomplishment on a general scale? Is Divock Origi a better player than Harry Kane?

How about league and team they play for like Lewandowski. For me, performance, being influential to a club’s success is what I check out for first.

Havertz10:
Players should be judged based on accomplishments not goals and assists especially if you want to retroactively scale them

Everytime lebron has been compared to MJ, it's Jordan's 6 rings that eventually kills the conversation

Accomplishment > G/A

If you have both, will matter when you are compared to someone with equal accomplishments

Using just G/A to judge players is stupid abeg

You have sense. They don’t understand this things. Messi and Cr7 are compared because they have accomplishment and also G/A.
