Just reading through this nonsense now.

So no more using Goals + assists to rate attackers again?

You sef notice am say him don omit assist from his stats rating. Na only goals him Dey call now.

airmark:
So he's the best striker in epl. He's better and more influential than Aguero and Kane. You be mumu walahi.

Ask that man up there. The way them Dey rate players for this board is laughable.

HanksAnuku:
Yes there are.

When we beat Huddersfield 5-0, we would still have won the game even if the FA decides to cancel the remaining 4.

One of the biggest issues we have with Hazard is his reluctance to step up when we need him the most. There are some players that no matter how much their team is losing by, as long as they are on the pitch, iyanu fit shele. In basketball, the call it the 'clutch' attribute.

Salah has been super clutch for his team this season. I'm not saying he's been head and shoulders better than Hazard o...but come on.

Football is a team sport, no matter how good you are as an attacker if your defenders are sh1t you are not winning the match. Example, Messi for Argentina. How come Hazard has highest Man of the match in the league, highest number of assist in the league even after playing with Morata and Higuain compare to Salah who has Mane and Firminho. The way una take Dey analyze football for nairaland is laughable and awkward. Raumdeuter don spoil una mind finish with wack football analysis all in the name of sentiment and hatred. Same raumdeuter that combine goals and assist when using stats against Hazard is no longer talking about assist but goals only. Only Ibime and Airmark I respect when it comes to football matters on this nairaland sport section, it is clear they played the game of football at some point just like myself, hence their basic understanding of the game. Most of una here analyze the game based on emotions.

HanksAnuku:
Not all goals count equally.

Scoring the last goal in a 5-1 win is only an exercise in stat padding. It does not not add an extra .5 to your team's 3 points. They can throw your goal in the bin, and it won't move them.

Salah has only 3 more goals than Hazard, but has scored twice as many match winners as Hazard has.

That's what influence is, not scoring 2 goals in a 5 goal rout of relegated Huddersfield.

Here's a fun fact for you, Hazard has not scored in any league game that we've lost this season.

We've lost 2-1 to wolves, and 1-0 to Leicester this season amongst others. If Hazard had at least scored in those 2 games for example, we would be 3 points clear of Arsenal and only 1 point behind Spurs.

Hazard has had a great season individually, but his team has not really benefited from him like that


Salah has been brilliant individually AND for his team.

Salah has been better than Hazard this season, for definite. If he didn't make TOTY, then Hazard should not be writing any nonsense article.

In order to berate Hazard you guys do plus and minus on goals. Gee are you aware goal difference can decide this top 4 race huh. So scoring 1 to make it 5-1 for Chelsea is important because that 1 goal might become top 4 decider for Chelsea.

raumdeuter:
Alexis Sanchez got paid an extra 75k last night (he gets that amount of money every time he plays)

He touched the ball once

Sometimes when I want to doubt the existence of jazz, I see things beyond ordinary eye

Sanchez Na the luckiest player on earth currently.

Toks2008:
Whack in my opinion.lacks any message or afrocentric rhythm.

Definition of music:
vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.

With the above definition the music is spot on. Another man’s meat is another man’s poison.

Toks2008:
They had better got his back o cos the guy no sabi sing at all except dance. Rudeboy have proved his game with great singles since their dissolution.

Van Dijk could pair with virtually anybody and things would be ok in our defense, as it could be seen in Liverpool.

Someone won you an epl trophy in his first attempt and the following season you started frustrating him. Fraudiola failed in his first attempt despite bringing Bravo, City didn't turn down his request for buying another keeper, not forgetting other players he added again.

You are right. Chelsea board got it all wrong last season. Instead of strengthening the team they weakened it.

airmark:
Conte's plan was destroyed by Emenalo and co and would have resigned before the season started if not for the clause in his contract. Only the blind wouldn't see the contrast in his enthusiasm last season compared to his first season. If you like call it whatever, Conte had his plans thwarted.

Sarri wanted Jorginho as his key to deliver goodies, he was given. The smoker wanted fat Higuain for his typa style, he was given. Wtf is Sarri using the same team?
Conte wanted Van dijk, he was given kpon kpon Rudiger. Conte wanted Lukaku, he was given spineless Morata.

Benzema scoring in laliga means nothing to some of us who know the difference in demands from strikers in both leagues. That's how I told some of you that Morata would be useless in epl, but you guys started showing his nonsense laliga goal stats. He has already started scoring there again. Maybe you will ask him to return.

Sarri should be sacked before he sacks us.

That Van Dijk pain me. I feel say Na because of Luiz we nor sign that guy cos Chelsea board feel say their style of play in terms of passing Dey similar so they needed a more tackler in rudiger to pair Luiz instead of having two reader of the game in CB

MichaelBukamzy:
where are the players you were talking about. or is ole using mou's negative tactics too?

Man u got the players although not in the standard of man city. If Klopp handle this Man U team him go play better football. Few of your players, although average in quality are been played out of their position by Ole and you want them to perform. Since injuries to some of the players Ole have been confuse in formation, tactics and substitution. His inexperience yo manage a top club is showing each games since the injuries. I’m surprise known of you is seeing this. You are waiting for him to sign his players abi? Ok.

I know someone will mention me and say if Man U is my club, I should go talk about my club, blah blah blah but I’m a football fan first before been a club fan so I can discuss football generally.

iamrosheed:
Conte had unrealistic first choice and poor second choice players

Was Van Dijk unrealistic too or your board refused to listen to him?

odizeey:
come it's like you lack sense. How attractive was Liverpool some years ago. How e be now. City nko.
Abegi get out.

Klopp and Pep attract quality players to Liverpool and man city respectively due to their pattern of play and no pressure from their club’s board unlike Man U wey Ferguson and ex players still Dey influence things.

iamrosheed:
Conte wasn't unlucky my Gee, he didn't play well,he deserved the 5th position

Wrong signings spoilt Conte’s second season.

sod09:
Ole becomes unfortunate as man utd lost once again

Top4 not certain for arsenal as wolves devour them like dogs

Lol. I Dey imagine how e go sound for language, it will be too hilarious.

sod09:
these BBC Yoruba writers won't make heaven, that arsenal own is still cracking me up

Translate for me abeg.

SkimpleD:
You begin to wonder how many of the players there are JMs men?

Wetin concern me. Make Ole kuku change backroom staff too gan. All of them na Mourinho’s men.
Instead of them to talk about Ole’s mediocre tactics and low reading of games them dey talk of players. Same players Larride has been shouting since last season about. Him nor mind use academy wey get hunger and drive if Na pep.

This is how many losses in a row now? Is it up to 6?

If you know you know

Ole tactics and formation set up is the worse I have ever seen. Maybe Na tension of been made permanent coach for a big club like Man U. With this team I trust Klopp or even Sarri or pep to still play better ball. Forget say I Dey follow raumdeuter Dey argue pep matter, I like the guy for the way he play just that raumdeuter too dey overrate am to belittle Mou who achieved with not so big club. I like make person Dey reason well when analyzing football and not with sentiments and emotions.

ChristineC:
oh please. you guys chat so much carbide stench, one begins to wonder if it's Chelsea and Arsenal challenging for the title right now.

It’s high time you guys know the difference between having money and no longer attractive for quality players to come.

Where did you get this from? Where is Hazard?

ChristoBam:
I swear I don't understand. Which players dem dey shout about sef..

Like Ole get name to attract quality players. Which quality player wan leave big club come Man U? Except them ready give him heavy weekly wage like Sanchez.

.

diggz:
Good thing he is scoring for them...hopefully they will buy him.

Yes

wman:
Uncle Raumdeuter. Here is some breaking news for you.

If it’s true well deserved. The guy Na modern day defender. Too good.

But he won the LEAGUE with unbeaten which made it priceless.

raumdeuter:
You went unbeaten and finished with less points

Like someone celebrating 10 draws with 10 points over 8 wins and 2 losses with 24 points

lordfalcao:
zanku players

Pepe is good. Or we should go for Dybala but I’m afraid he will flop in epl, he looks fragile in my eyes.

Kalapizim:
I say we get zaha if hazard leaves. what do you think guys ?

I prefer Pepe and Zaha to replace Hazard and Pedro.

Corrosiveman:
.....and you thin players like lukaku can play his style of football?.....Same fools who critisize wenger for not spending

Sure he will sell most of the players in the team as they will not suit his style of football.

No I’m not. I like how Pep set up his team though. I like his tactics and how his team play. Raumdeuter too hype am Na make I Dey argue him matter.

Neimar:
check book manager?? u must be high

ChristoBam:
I really love Ole and even though I criticize him, I'll never curse him. It's not his fault Woodward and co were stupid. It's impossible for him to have declined the offer. It's always been his dream.. I watched his interview tonight and I really felt pity for him, he really wants to be successful but e dey get some things wey dey pass person ability. It's just like an average student trying to get into Harvard .
My fear right now is the way Man Utd seem to going down in recent years. Everyone said it just after Mourinho was sacked, this is the most important period in the future of United. The next manager we appoint will decide a lot of things about the club's future. I heard that a lot on Sky Sports and many sports blog. Then Ole came in with the winning streak and everyone forgot about that. They were all shouting for Ole's permanent appointment. And Woodward is not so wise when it comes to these things. I thought he should have learnt his lesson by now. Those ex players and fans shouting for Ole to be appointed are the same ones that will curse him at last.
My stance still remains United should have chased Pochetinho with everything they've got. When it comes to building a team from the scratch no one does it better than Poch and Pep.

You mean Klopp. Pep is a check book manager.

Yes and when Pep came he reorganized the team and put a different mentality in them, turning a Manchester United reject like Pique to a world class player, a young Busquets to a very intelligent DM and bringing out the real beast in Messi.

Throughout Pep's stay at Barca, Messi won the ballon d'or.

Pep met Puyol, Marquez, Toure Yaya, iniesta, Xavi and a very talented footballer in Messi who was already third world best footballer in 2007. With this player around, it was very easy for pep to build on.

TLona1:
So with this your nonsense logic, we can say Madrid was always going to bounce back with or without Mourinho because they had the finance.


You will set trap for yourself and still enter the trap intentionally.

In Madrid case, it was not a mentality issue but the board who were signing anything perceived to be talent, never mind how they don’t fit into the team and there was no structured team to build on. Barca have the structure and quality, all thanks to their board who rightly invested into the academy. As I said before, it was just a mentality issue orchestrated by Ronaldinho lost of form due to his irregular behavior and he was the star man of the team so it affected the locker room.
