homesteady: You claim to appreciate football yet you say all this crap? You don't even know how effective Neymar is on that left wing, I'm sure you only watched some barcelona champions league games, thats why you are spewing all this trash! How many fullbacks have been able to contain Neymar on that wing? Even Leicester that was among the best full backs in UCL was raped continously by Neymar! You claim to appreciate football, but you refused to acknowledge Neymar brilliant pass to Iniesta that led to the goal Some sites even gave Neymar MOTM and other gave him 2nd or 3rd MOTM! Before Suarez came back from his ban, Neymar was already scoring many goals, he was even the top scorer for barcelona for a while (I'm sure you won't know this)
you are still refering to tap-in goals that neymar score even when he is trying to lecture you that football is not just who scored carry the day, he gave example of cr7 scoring(most of his goals are tap-in as well just like neymar.) more than messi this season..neymar couldn't do jack last season because messi played false9 but this season messi was shifted to right wing, he was pulling the string for neymar to score tap-in here are the tap-in of neymar this season(his 39 goals), you can't even see neymar running from the back to score a goal, he is always at the 18 yard box waiting for messi or suarez.
Arsenate: yeah but what has hazard ever done when you need him the most? like when Chelsea were a man up against PSG and they needed a genius to unlock the PSG defence. What did hazard do yesterday when Belgium needed him the most. Great players step up when u need them to. Hazard step in only when its time to take a penalty... Eat that.
yeah like the way cr7 step up for portugal during WC. ok
homesteady: Abeg Abeg Abeg..... Spare me your sentimental crap! Stop pretending like you don't understand what I'm saying! Whenever anybody brings up a comparison between Neymar and Hazard performance for their country, you always say Brazil is a better football nation! See ordinary Wales, Who knew them in football world before Bale put them up on the map? Do they even have half the stars that Belgium has?
This is how we know the very best of players - Messi is carrying Argentina Neymar is carrying Brazil Ronaldo is carrying Portugal ( He singlehandedly qualify them for the worldcup) Bale is carrying Wales
Can we say Hazard is carrying Belgium?
only messi carry his teams(barca n argentina) because he play-make, he is the driving force, we saw his magic at WC, he scored solo goals when the team was struggling...cr7 is a flop for portugal(after been grouped with the likes of luxemburg, israel they couldn't qualifer directly except through play-off....neymar is not carrying brazil and he can never carry them in his career, brazil is brazil, i.e, they can win without him, dont give me that germany mauling as an example because even if neymar played that day it wouldn't change anything, brazil have been poor right from their first match, they were been lucky and considering they are the host, ref helped them as well. bale is trying for wales. hazard is a selfless player, you hardly see him in the 18-yard box due to he falls deep to create for the team, he is not messi who can do both at same time..to me, no difference between wales n belgium because both haven't won a trophy since my existence. wales have players too who are very 'dugged' and competitive due to most of them play in epl(competitive and 'dugged' league). haba! see ur logic, so anybody that score tap-in carry his team according to you..only messi qualify to this ur logic because he play-make, he is the driving force, he does magic when his team mate are down.
homesteady: Hensben will soon tell you that Wales is a better football nation than Belgium
how does one match prove anything, where was bale for madrid throughout the season.huh hazard played every game for chelsea, he was the driving force and you expect him to still be on fire till now, even as that he played well.bale got a tap-in goal suddenly he is better than hazard.he is not robot mr....your sentiment against hazard is appalling.
binhozie: bro y do u tink mourinho loves athletico Madrid players dey r d best in rugby and pepe d world best rugby player is still in Madrid but guess wat d kid can't stop scoring against dem he goes to ground dust himself up and still finds his way to ur net he l be a hit anywhere Kane is not physical now or sterling self
only atletico play that way in la liga unlike in epl, watch the full game, he scored tap in that game after missing chances, he did nothing special..watch his play overall.
Lifebender: [color=Olive]Question:[/color]I know of a player that plays for an EPL team,he plays only the last 5min of some unimportant match.He keeps smiling on the bench when his mate has won 4 ballon d'or.Next thing we do see,his selfie circulating all social network.And he plays for Nigeria.
binhozie: feed him in barca maybe but not Brazil that's where u are making the mistake for brazil its a different ball game he is d Messi in Brazil creating scoring driving d team forward I mean u Dont expect him to be creating chances for messi even wen fabregas came it was messi creating chances for fabregas that's d way d team is structured if hazard comes it will be even worse cos if he can't get into does position and score plenty goals which is not his strenght problem dey oh.
see what a barca fan have to say about neymar, this guy is aticket holder in nou camp; Honestly, I like neymar because he is a Barcelona player but at times I see him as a rude boy. Sometimes he is selfish even with his team mates but I like the way Messi and Suarez handle him because he is still a little boy but then he have to learn how to respect. Sometimes neymar played rudely and had it been neymar is playing with cr7 at real madrid, believe me that there would have been conflict between them but Messi knew he Messi is a prolific machine more than neymar by country mile. At times neymar played selfishly on the pitch but Messi and Suarez always overlook him and that is the reason there is unity among them because Messi and Suarez are matured, so they handle him like a small boy by overlooking all his obsessed for goals and making headlines as the world best. Now Brazilian fans are making him raise his shoulder's by comparing neymar to Messi but forgotten that Messi has achieved hugely at the age of neymar and Messi is the key point that makes neymar to be noticed last season but Brazilian fans never watch football they only watch neymar's tap ins after LEO has finish all the hard work from behind.
binhozie: feed him in barca maybe but not Brazil that's where u are making the mistake for brazil its a different ball game he is d Messi Brazil creating scoring driving d team forward
he is not the creator in brazil bro, i do watch most brazil games(both friendly and competition). neymar can't even do jack in mou formation considering he goes to the ground a lot and you know epl and their rugby style of play and epl ref hardly blow whistle for foul mostly, when they already mark a player as diver.
slimsky: he plays for the best team in d world..so,y should he leave..neymar won the best player @ the Confederations Cup beating the likes of xavi, iniesta, suarez(a player who hazard could not beat to the PFA when he played in England)and u think he will flop @ that overated league...SMH
confederation cup with just five games? lol..let neymar be the driving force of a team for 32 league games without dropping form like hazard.
binhozie: I am not comparing neymar with oda Brazilian greats but I'm just saying if you see d way he carries d Brazilian team and wen he is not playing its like dere dead u saw it in d world cup na Brazil currently is almost a one man team and d goals he scores are not goals dat were spoon fed u see 40 yard shots with weaker foot free kicks tings DAT are alien to hazards game. I Dont know how to explain it to u sha but wen Oscar and willian and ramirez play for Brazil with neymar its like dey can't do anything without him like messi for barca in 2011. But in Chelsea its a little different hazard is arguably Chelsea s best player but d same feeling of being d only hope of d team is not there
you mean to say if neymar played against germany, brazil wouldn't have lost? lol..fyi, brazil played a game without neymar they won. don't even compare what messi do for barca and argentina to that of neymar for brazil while messi carry the team, the team feed neymar to score. neymar can't even play-make, he is just like cr7. yes they(cr7 and neymar) score the goals most times because the team is build around them unlike hazard who fall deep to start every attack.
binhozie: I can afford to say dat because neymar plays with almost the same mild fielders - fabregas for Brazil and he is king for Brazil I Dont think if u remove neymar from Brazil and put hazard ul get d same result lai lai
same result as how? that brazil will not win matches again if hazard is there or what? before neymar brazil have five WCs. Football is not all about goals, how about other aspect of the game. in brazil, the team is build around neymar because brazil doesn't have a prolific no 9 currently unlike chelsea and belgium were you have costa, benteke/lukaku respectively. hazard create chances for his strikers while others create for neymar thats the difference.
bigkesh: m partially with u on this, varane isnt benching zouma but coming as Terry's successor..... Pogba A player like him is needed, tho he is Overhyped...... Griezman is also needed.... The youngsters can take ramires x, mikel, oscar, cuadrado and luis place....... I dnt believe in experience, if u garrit, u garrit
sell ramires and mikel to fund pogba, if cuadrado refuse to improve his game for colombia sell him get reus or griezman...oscar is still a nice player, him and fab can rotate no 10 role or him and pogba for pivotal.
binhozie: last season was neymar s first season in Europe takes time to adapt in barca of all places ask henry Sanchez hleb ibrahimovic. Even messi himself did not really play well last season d whole team was messed up pique and Valdez dem neymar still scored against athletico and against Madrid about d 2 big teams we met in dat season he is a big game player another thing u shld know. Suarez has helped every body improve sha .
now you are giving excuse for neymar if it were to be hazard you guys wouldn't accept it.
Youssouff10: come with all ur analysis u should know better. Need I remind u that when morinho was coach of madrid dat was his favorite formation (4-2-3-1) and with CR7 on LMF, dat didn't stop him from scoring an average of over 50 goals per season and d formtion even gives more room for attacking options cuz u can have up to 4 striker on the pitch. Hazard's case is no different from dat, though he's good but he hasn't gotten to d level of Neymar, Messi, CR7, cuz the stats don't lie.
mou built the team around cr7 considering he is a pure winger who is good at scoring goals, cr7 is average in play-making unlike hazard and also he is obsess with goals due to competition with messi. he hasn't gotten to the level of messi and cr7? yes but not neymar...he(neymar) couldn't do jack last season when messi was played as false 9 until this season were he(messi) was move to RWF(RIGHT WING FORWARD), he was pulling the string for neymar reason he scored lot of goals, most of the goals were tap-in.
binhozie: the 4-2-3-1 is till 4-3-3 when attacking and 4-5-1 when defending another example of a 4-2-3-1 will u say ozil was expected to score more than ronaldo. and fabregas at times plays as part of the (2) (Cmf) when Oscar is playing so he is further behind bro stats Dont lie. In barca d formation has changed slightly in that their roles have changed iniesta doesn't drive as much as he used to rakitic does that now iniesta is playing a withdrawn role that Xavi used to play but on d left of d center.Hazard doesn't cut it bro seriously maybe next season but for now. even the tap ins people are talking of that neymar scores it takes a lot of positional sense to score such goals when Sanchez was in barca he wasn't scoring as much and put into consideration d teams he is scoring those tap ins R.madrid, athletico. PSG ,Bayern,Juventus, no be moi moi teams na dats where u find d best defenders.
when sanchez was there messi play as false 9, last season messi play as false 9 too reason neymar was unable to exploit but this season messi was shift to RWF(right wing forward)as we all can see he was pulling the string for barca since xavi and iniesta are no longer in their peak. bro it depend on coach set up, mourhino is defensive minded coach reason he sold mata, schurell and de bruyne. in madrid cr7 is more of a goal scorer not really a winger so mou built the team around him(cr7).
dinachi: What kind of sick dumb Bleep is this? This is exactly how GEJ ended up with mama piss. It is very clear the lady toys with you for fun. You pay the bills and you are her bitch,why the other guy is the real boyfriend. She dumped you three years ago but seeing how fragile you are she decided to stick by just so you dont die of heart break.
binhozie: Bro I understand what your are trying to say but it only works for deep lying playmakers or central mild fielders who are little bit too far to constantly give d final ball they create d chance preceding d final ball I.e what a pirlo Xavi or iniesta might do or xabi Alonso wen ozil was in Madrid but its not applicable for wingers cos its just d striker in front of them he cant say he is giving d pass before d final pass cos its just d striker in front of him especially in a 4-3-3 so every thing his creating is for the forward a mildfieder coming in himself and d next winger so he has no excuse meaning he is closer to d striker than fabregas so fabregas is assisting more. and providing d pass before d final pass. creative players Dont always have to be very skill.
you are wrong, it depend on the coach set up.. chelsea play 4-2-3-1; hazard play as left midfielders(LMF) in this formation, in fact, fab or oscar(as AMF) is expected to score lot of goals than hazard in this type of formation. barca plays 4-3-3; neymar play as left wing forward(LWF) in this type of formation, iniesta is the Attacking midfieder(AMF). in 4-3-3 you have three forward unlike in 4-2-3-1 formation.
IzonOwei: please what does neymar play for brazil??...neymar is better than hazard in every way..neymar shows up for the big games..neymar leads his country to which ever competition..if hazard plays for barca he will even perform less..because he wont be able to play like and score like neymar...abi shey you think say hazard get skills pass neymar?
so you are comparing brazil(best football nation) national team to belgium..when last did belgium won any major tournament? btw, neymar is the focal man in brazil team, all set up plays end with him unlike hazard.
IzonOwei: no mind EPL fans...always overhyping there players...imagine neymar scoring 10 goals in the CL..where is hazard?... ...we are talking about world football and someone is calling one small pikin hazard...where was hazard when neymar was leading brazil through the confederations cup and to the world cup...if i hear that neymar and hazard comparison again I fit slap person...
so football is just all about goals with your assertion iniesta is an average player considering his assist and goals so far. why do you think they have golden boot for highest goal scorer huh...you guys always talk about goals, 95% of neymar goals this season were tap in from either messi or suarez. i nor blame una sha na cr7 and messi i blame wey don turn football to goals only, no wonder there are no great defenders anymore. if you want to be recognize as a world class player just score goals. smh. if na so zidane, canavaro, figo, nedved for nor be world best. hazard and neymar play different role for their team..hazard is the driving force of chelsea attack whereas, neymar just wait for counter attack from messi to finish off, different set up by coaches..hazard is a good scorer just that his scoring prowess has been limited because falls deep to start the attack. hazard scored 20 goals and assisted 17 at lille (no ucl game).
