Nihilist:
Are you watching MOTD?

Go on BBC1 right now. Otherwise enter iplayer tommorow. Matic is literraly the star of the highlight reel as Gullit analyses our midfield dysfunction. Every single clip.

Check it out.

Nihilist:
The simple answer is that Matic was responsible for the goal we conceded. You can argue that we should have created more chances after the Burnley equaliser but the fact remains that we were 1-0 up, Matic conceded a stüpid foul and a set-piece specialist capitalised on that by scoring the goal that earned Burnley a point.

diggz:
Ok....and the second goal he almost gifted them?

Truth is, I saw a player who couldn't do a thing with the ball in Burnley's half than to play safe everytime by passing backwards like Mikel obi. I didn't feel his presence both offensively and defensively(especially) that is why I am upset with him.

diggz:
Yes we drew because matic was Uber useless. He stupidly caused the free kick which led to the equalizer with is robotic body Pally almost assisted them with a second goal self

I have only supported matic because I was of the opinion he was doing a job defensively. If todays game is anything to go by,he should be benched permanently.

Useless going forward and more useless defensively.

Griffon:
Moses? Lets see how this plays out.

Potential banana skin.

olabode89:
Exactly!

Henry made mention of something similar some weeks ago. When a freekick is beyond 30m, the wall sometimes is detrimental to the defending team as it provides the freekick taker a path to direct the ball.

Hello guys first time here. I'm happy so far with our performance this season and I believe that this title is ours to lose.

Guys I want to ask you a quick question which of our title winning seasons is your best so far?

Mine is 09/10

But it's 'constructive criticism' when you pillory Mourinho by saying you thank Roman's millions more for the successes we enjoyed during José's spells here?


Mourinho's feats here ain't that laudable cos of "Roman's millions". In the same vein, we're not allowed to flak your underperforming idealist with seemingly limitless resources.


Then you were on an argument about perspective on Citeh's already expensively assembled squad's -which Pep immensely contributed to- suitability to Pep's tactics as reason why we shouldn't even talk about his money-miss-road spending and apparent transfer bombs.



This is more than double standard!

raumdeuter:
He's also shitting on Mourinho. What does that make Mourinho?

Ranieri also shat on Mourinho last season. What does that make Jose

I think you have this the wrong way round: can you name one country in history that dealt with a currency crisis by providing stimulus? In a currency crisis, a stimulus is counterproductive (this is partly why the passage of the 2016 budget, despite predictions to the contrary, preceded an acceleration of GDP contraction in Q3 FY2016).

Given 2014 GDP of $500bn, a loss of $15bn in foreign investment inflows + the $6bn contraction in nonoil exports equates to 4% of GDP (this ignores any multiplier effects). That is a big loss in output: GDP contracted -2% in 2016 (4% percentage points will swing us back into growth and an end of the recession).

Regarding the ECA, why was it up to GEJ to save but not state & local governments who take up 48% of the allocations? You may say this is not possible, but my state of Anambra (despite having corrupt & inept politicians in power) managed to have a rainy day fund.

Ibime you should know better. If an economy goes into recession in 2016, it is daft to say that the reason for the 2016 recession is theft that "stopped" in May 2015. Why didn't the end or reduction of corruption from May 2015 act as a stimulus to the economy post-May 2015?

You should be looking at the policy regime that has caused a 75% drop in foreign investment over 2 years for answers.

AgamaHub:
Yes he is, very poor economy policies. When they where embezzling in last administration, the policies where still ok, all these theft then didn't run down the economy then. .

Lol, Nnamdi kanu wore the same thing to court one certain time , maybe there's a certain charm in it

Kelechi to replace Costa? Bros abeg oo.

diggz:
So are you of the opinion that we should get kelechi and make him our main striker assuming we no longer have Costa?

diggz:
Sorry I had to drag you back.

We already have players like traore and batshuayi in the same age bracket as kelechi. Asides traore who may survive as a back up to pedro or willian as the case maybe. I can't seem to think of any order spot kelechi or batshuayi will thrive in this present CFC formation in which conte will readily trust hazard as a striker when Costa is not available instead of the younger guys.

This actually brings me back to the qxn; what will kelechi bring to the table? You and I will readily agree that he is not yet the big striker for any team wanting to fight and win trophies. A future striker probably. But, we already have future players in batshuayi and traore.

If Costa is going to leave come season end then I won't mind having both aguero and llorente or lukaku and llorente as replacements. With the number of competitions and games we will have on our plates by next season, players like batshuayi and traore can battle for the 9 position in fa n Carling cup games. While the proven strikers with better experience help us deal with the pl and UCL games.

I don't think we should get kelechi. #myopinion
