From your logic, It semed Villareal wasnt taking the game seriously since they already have their pathway into Europe next season and this was Liverpools chance of making it into Europe

homesteady:
I'm sure if Liverpool had not qualified, Ibime would have sworn with heaven and earth that Liverpool did not take it serious!

raumdeuter:
I assume you didnt see this the first time so I'm reposting

Lets check this claim using the last 2 seasons Spurs, Liverpool Man Utd, Everton have made Europa in that time
The Everton team that crashed out last season to Kiev started Howard, Coleman Jaglieka Baines Barry, McCarthy barkley, Naismith Lukaku
The Liverpool team that crashed out to Besiktas last season started Mignolet, Skrtl, Lovren Can, Moreno Allen, Sterling, Sturridge
Man Utd that crashed out to Liverpool this season started DDG, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Mata Fellaini, Martial
So aside Spurs, who are these EPL teams who dont take Europa serious?

raumdeuter:
Catch me say wetin?

You havent proven your case with say EPL dont take Europaa seriously. I just flogged you with live facts from the past 2 seasons and you are hiding under someone else?

You wan shame your fans wey believe in your analysis

Incase you didnt see the first time

raumdeuter:
Maybe because Bundesliga teams have bigger fishes to fry like CL which was why Bayern and Wolfsburg were topping EPL teams in their groups and leave the Europa for the useless EPL

Thats why Wolfsburg 9th in Bundesliga were able to top a group with Man utd, Wolfsburg were able to beat Madrid 2-0 at home while Madrid molested City everywhere home away everywhere without even getting out of second gear

King big deal about Spurs? Valencia went all the way to the UCL final match in their 1st ever attempt. Villarreal went all the way to the semi final of UCL in their 1st attempt too.

Atletico Madrid won the Europa league trophy in their 1st attempt. So tell me something new.

Our Spanish big 7 are bullies in Europe. It's very hard for any non Spanish team to beat us in knock out stageof any European competition whether UCL or Europa. That's why I say congrats to Liverpool for a decent job against a team who doesn't need Europa league to qualify for UCL, hence Villarreal were not serious in that match.

Eibar, levante and Almeria would pummel Bournemeouth Norwich Watford Swansea, West brom

Debroslink:
Let's congratulate Liverpool. They became the 1st club to beat a Spanish team in 2 seasons. What an achievement!!!

However, don't use this to generalise. English clubs are poor, not because they don't take it serious, but the fact is they are not good enough. Look at city for example, judging from their play, it's so obvious that they were the odd team in the last 4.

Arsenal will always be arsenal because epl makes things easy for them. Get knocked out in 2nd round, make top 4 again, and again and again. You can't try that rubbish in Spain. Arsenal will NEVER make top 6 with this rubbish performance in Spain.

Villarreal have qualified for UCL next season, so they don't really need Europa to qualify. Liverpool wants UCL more badly than Villarreal. Let's see how they will fare against Sevilla who also needs UCL badly.

This is a very porous argument

Top 3 that we have evidence for based on CL appearances La Liga wins

5-8 which we still have evidence based on Europe performances La Liga still wins but you found a way to qualify with not taking serious. Liverpool and Everton sure took it serious last year and Man utd took it serious this year

Bottom 10 which no one has evidence for You claim EPL is better without any evidence or data

The only one without evidence is the one you are sure of, Can anything be more dishonest?

raumdeuter:
This is complete Bullshitt.

CL which is a top 4 competition La liga dominates (Won 3 of the last 4- 2016, 2015, 2014)

Europa which is 5-8 competition La Liga dominates (Won the 3 last 4 )

So you mention top 3, You add another 7 to it making 10 which is half of the league and says the league lack depth

Lets try this

Take City, Chelsea, Man Utd out, Add Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool everton, West Ham? (I cant even name 10) Which are the sides that have depth in the English league? Bournemouth Crystal Palace, West brom Norwich, Sunderland Swansea, Watford or who?

emekakelvin:
so, all what man city did yesterday was just a joke despite knowing the importance of wining the champions league

If even that of man city was true, what about arsenal nightmare of always facing Barcelona?

Please, can I have your digit? I need some advice from you.

A40:
No mind Ibime. What were Alaba and Javi doing? He pressed knowing there was cover at the back

ollah1:
Pep won UCL with Barca in his first season and that was a Barca team in transition. He sold most starting players bar 4 of them. When Mou took over at Inter, they were consistently winning Serie A. Messi was always injured Pre Pep

ollah1:
Nobody labelled Mou a failure for not winning UCL with Madrid. Na so e easy win UCL. They labelled him one simply cos he won few trophies(a paltry 3) within 3 seasons which is the least number of trophies he has in a club.

If Pep is considered a failure at Bayern then we can conclude Fergie was also a failure at Man U

azpekuliar:
Ok! We shall see!

Nice post by husband. My eye is seeing just one thingy sha, is It "virtues woman" or "virtuos woman"

Ibime and chaze be getting 6pts from bench boost and tripple captain

,,@ Ibime

Team building. Well, I see Willian as a key figure for us especially next season so,no.....I wouldn't want for him to be sold. I even would love to see him battle for a playing position through the midfield next season.

Money factor. Well,considering the amount involved,one will almost be tempted to say yes..... However,do we really need to sell him to generate cash for the squad? When we can easily sell non committed players like the two Belgians to generate enough funds for conte to buy whoever he so desires. Not forgetting deadwoods like Baba,mikel,omeruo,d German,n co.

Abeg make we no sell Willian,nah big big mistake he go be.
