My bad, I should have just passed! I should have known that you brain is permanently damaged! Do you even understand the implications of what you wrote?

uour brain is dead and buried.

You always talk of what is beyond your capacity

Muller in the 3yrs before Pep

2010 19 goals 16 assists = 35 G &A
2011 19 goals 19 assists - 38 G &A
2012 11 goals 20 assists = 31 G & A
2013 23 goals 17 assists 40 G & A

Pep years
2014 26 goals 15 assists = 41 G&A
2015 21 goals 19 assists = 40 G &A
2016 32 goals 12 assists = 44 G&A

Muller after Pep
2017 8goals 15 assists = 23 G&A

Last season under Pep, Muller had 20 league goals. This season without Pep, this is already first week in April Muller has 4 league goals. This time last month Muler had 1 league goal all season

How will any normal human being see these stats and say Pep affected Muller anything but positively?

You're quick to bring out stat. You don't understand game of footballl. Smh

raumdeuter:
Before they got Pep they were doing so well that the owners cant wait to get rid of Pellegrini and hire Pep

After they got pep were are they now in epl table? Are they still in ucl? How is de bruyne performing? Just the way his copied philosophy affected muller. De bruyne and muller are direct players and very decisive so a very tactical coach play to their strength not the other way round.

The truth is owner of man city fell for his media hype and barca success all thanks to Messi and co.

bigkesh:
Is KDB still better than Hazard?


Pep no try at all. ..KDB isn't the kinda of guy that scores 6 league goals in a season

Pep should better get more direct

Ramdueter

Pep is the problem of man city. Nor mind ramdueter.

Greatihex:
We don't need 1000 goals from the striker to win any title. The number of counter attacks that Costa wastes can be of great use if someone like Morata is to play up front. At least, Pedro and Hazard can score if the counters are adequately executed.
I remember lampard being our highest goal scorer with 15 goals in a league winning season.

Tell them bro. Collective effort win you trophies in game of football. Cr7 and Messi don spoil ball finish.
Imagine, Hazard Morata Sanchez in our attack. Morata style of play will so much complement those two guys.

Greatihex:
Morata is the real deal for me. He Will Give Us Everything Lukaku Lacks.

I prefer morata too provided we sign Sanchez.

Bville02:
Abbi naaa.. Morata or Lukaku.. Better still let's get dem both

No! Either one of them and Sanchez.

homesteady:
Why wouldn't big club doubt his talents when even nonentities like you are also doubting his talent?

You're a fool. I doubted Douglas Costa's talent but is he not playing for Bayern today?

bigkesh:
Looks like Lukaku to Chelsea is done and dusted

It better not be.

dmcdad:
[s]Point of correction, we don't compare him to Hazard. He is greater than Hazard, hence you don't compare him to Hazard, but Hazard to him.

Don't understand? My point is; Neymar is the reference point and not Hazard.

So, you guys compare Hazard to him (Neymar) as he's superior.[/s]

Abeg who dey there? help me dial Lawman number. You guys are always the one calling out Hazard whenever Neymar do something meaningful. So tell me who is more obsess with who.

dmcdad:
How come it's only Neymar that benefits from such great history because you don't seem to talk about other Brazilians like that?

I talk about Neymar when you guys compare him to Hazard. People talk about Neymar just as they talk about Hazard.

Eruditor:
What year did he praise Hazard?

2014.

dmcdad:
Sharap! Common sense is common, but is not common practice. Neymar also enjoys Messi and Suárez in Brazil right?

Brazil is Brazil forget what people are saying on here they still got the talent, just that their expectation are always high due to their great history in the game.

Eruditor:
Does Zidane not see Neymar? Why didn't he praise him?

He was never going to. Neymar plays for Barca. When Neymar was still in Santos, all the RM legends were praising him because they thought he would sign with RM. It is normal.

Ehen it is normal too for iniesta to praise Neymar. Zidane praised Hazard when he wasn't even a Real Madrid coach.

Ibime:
It ain't about numbers my gee. Fabregas came off around 70 minutes sef and nothing changed.

As it was, Matic and Kante mounted the roadblock, it's not like Fabregas was helping them with anything defensively. Matic simultaneously mounted midfield roadblock with Kante and left-wing roadblock to help Alonso who was being outnumbered in the 1st half.

We have been playing 3-4-3 all season with Matic and Kante and never heard about needing a 3rd midfielder until today. Matic and Kante were always sufficient.

This is simply a case of Matic benefitting from the narrative Fabregas has enjoyed all season. All season, Fabregas came off the bench and we all noticed an improvement in our attacking play and lauded him for it. Matics 90 minute defensive contribution was swept under the carpet in that narrative. Today for the first time, Matic came off the bench and we all noticed an improvement in our defensive play.

Sometimes you need a stark contrast to set a narrative. Matic got the same narrative yesterday that Fabregas has got all season on the attacking side. No need to be salty about it. Even the coach acknowledged it.

We almost have similar understanding of this game called football bar your earlier "yarn" at the beginning of the season when you said we don't have the players to compete with the Manchester clubs which I disagreed.

You dey try bros.

Eruditor:
Zidane clearly wants to sign Hazard. He is always going to big him up. Mou was Hazard's coach when he lauded him. As you can see, there is a reason for their bias. In Iniesta's case, he had no reason to praise Neymar except what he saw on the pitch.

So Zidane hasn't watch Hazard to praise him abi, so your telling me the only reason he praised is because he want to sign him abi? Mou never see hazard play too. your double standard nor be here.

Ibime:
Everything improved my gee, from the protection Alonso received on the left to the stability Kante experienced in the middle.

Danny Murphy basically showed clip after clip of one-twos around Fabregas, players running behind him etc leaving Kante in no man's land.

He then showed clip after clip of how Matics positioning and pressing blocked all the passing lanes and running avenues.

He did not show one tackle for Matic, he just showed how he filled all the holes with correct positioning. This is what I was telling those peeps who reduced analysis to tackles and claimed that Kante was carrying Matic and he might as well use those tackles to carry Fabregas. Utter crap.

What yesterday instead showed is Matic helps a little piece of everyone defensively from Alonso to Cahill to Kante.

Tell them bro. Even my grand father know say we need matic to help Kante.

randomperson:
So your country having football history automatically makes you a better player?? Some logic tho'

Belgium and Brazil have almost the same quality of players but the superiority of Neymar's performances over hazard's is so much

It is a big advantage if you don't know. You're more seen and given attention as a Brazilian player compare to Belgian player. For example, see lukaku, big club are still doubting his talent, make him be Brazilian them for don rush am. Forget Belgium squad Brazilian squad is better.

Chelseafan1:
Lol, na long tori o, hin say Mhki better pass Hazard cos he don get goals pass am with lesser minutes, na so Airmark tell am say Iheanacho get goals pass Lukaku with lesser minute, kon dey ask am say ow far, say hin logic fail am again, my bros kon activate hibernation mode.

Lol. That man na comedian. I nor dey take am serious.

Chelseafan1:
Raumdeuter has refused to comment since yesterday just because he couldn't defend his stupid logic on that Man utd thread.

What a shameless nonsense - spewing old man.

Wetin him talk for there?

Eruditor:
The whole world reacted to the scoreline not the match.

Still same thing.

Eruditor:
Brazil is Brazil but they conceded 7 goals against Germany in 2014? Hazard has played in a UCL era in which his team got to the semifinals and lost to ATM. He barely had any contribution to that even when he was clearly the team's best player and they relied on him.

The game you are referring to against Bayern, he scored a good goal and he deserves the praise for it. But even a faulty clock tells the right time 2 times in a day. So Hazard needs to do more before he can join the pantheon of football Gods.

How does one match change anything about Brazil. Btw, can't you see the way the whole world reacted to the loss, that should tell you something.

Eruditor:
Zidane clearly wants to sign Hazard. He is always going to big him up. Mou was Hazard's coach when he lauded him. As you can see, there is a reason for their bias. In Iniesta's case, he had no reason to praise Neymar except what he saw on the pitch.

LOL.. shame not dey you eye at all as you dey type this trash.

Abeg who see lawman? Some trash in here.

Eruditor:
Was Zidane going to praise Neymar? Is Mou still praising Hazard now that he is United?

What is your point? But you told me how iniesta or so praised Neymar. This is the double standard I am talking about. It is okay for a BARCA player to praise Neymar but not okay for Zidane to do so to Hazard abi? Contunu.

Eruditor:
When Spain were the best team in the World, Neymar single-handedly destroyed them 3-0 enroute to winning the Confed cup. In that match, Iniesta went to shake Neymar's hand and told him he is a great player.

Neymar's undermanned Brazil side recently outplayed Argentina in a manner that shows on his day he is almost as good as Messi.

I have never seen a performance from Hazard that has drawn such a comparison from anybody bar CFC apologists. The fact remains, if Hazard is that good, he should have been doing a whole lot more on the bigger stages. He has a good platform in Belgium and next season he would have one in the UCL again. Until he replicates his EPL performances on such a stage, he will still be behind Neymar. For goodness sake Neymar has finished 3rd in the world and he is younger than Hazard who has never done it.

G football is not lawn tennis so there is no way he single-handedly defeated Spain. Brazil is Brazil forget all those yarn about them not parading stars like before. That is what you get when you have done much in the past. You only remembered Neymar's goal in that match what about Oscar assist to him, David Luis clearance in touch line and so on, so you see football is not lawn tennis. Meanwhile, when Hazard signed for Chelsea they were on a rebuilding process due to the declining state of the senior players which has affected Hazard output in European stage. For example, Bayern vs Chelsea In the super cup game were he delivered a master clas but his team defense failed him that night.

Chelseafan1:
No follow anybody argue ds night, make we dey go our thread abeg.

I hear you my brother from another mother.

Theflash98:
being among better teammate doesn't make you better...Brazil's neymar is better than Barca's neymar....some players like benteke,lukaku,Sanchez etc performs better when they are the main man..hazard might not perform as you think he will perform if he goes to Madrid cause he will be working for ronaldo...and to me,neymar is still better...no hate

Neymar will be ordinary player in epl just like pogba now so for that reason he's not better than Hazard.

Eruditor:
I don't praise Neymar for tap-ins. I even criticise him for his decision-making sometimes. To add to that, we don't put him on Messi's level but you guys are quick to call Hazard in the same category. That's what I am against. I am not like others who call Hazard "Hidden". He is good just not that good.

Zidane and mou put him in Messi level, I have never done that neither my comrade.

Eruditor:
I have never said he is not good. But he is a tad overrated especially when compared with Neymar.

His goals were fortuitous. Even against City first leg. That goal came in the dying mins of that game too when the score was 2-1 and CFC were pegged in their own half.

With the way you are calling Hazard's name one would think he took on a couple of players to score the both goals. He is really good but not that good.

He is really good but not that good? What is that? The only disadvantage hazard has is that he is not playing for either Barca or Real Madrid. He is a quality player. I repeat Neymar is not better than him, Neymar is privileged to play for a better team and from a country with great football history. #Kapish.

Theflash98:
lolz..he deserves 10/10,this match is like the title defining match...most people here just type anything but they know the truth inside their heart....to me,hazard is among top 6 player in the world..but I still find neymar better....neymar,hazard,ousmane dembele are the type of player I enjoy watching...I like skillful player prefer them to goalscorer like Suarez and ronaldo

Neymar is not better than Hazard, he's privilege to be in a better team and came from a country with great football history. Thatzall.

Eruditor:
Of course they overrate him. His shot was deflected in for the first goal without which Caballero makes a routine save. His second goal was a missed penalty that he tapped in. He missed the penalty.

EPL fans exaggerate everything.

Hazard started the movement for his first goal. But when Neymar score tap in he's praised to high heaven. Contunu.

Theflash98:
scoring two goals in a match as important as that deserves appalud...am sure,chelseafan1 is on cloud nine now....he is a very good player but his fan something overate him

You are wrong, hazard is not been overrated but underrated by your comrade. Hazard only disadvantage is that he's not playing for either Barca or Real Madrid, he is a top top class player.
