Rap wiz: Thot I should jump on dzQuality |
DeadScrollzz: QUICK ONEVerse of the month |
Lampard has now broken Bobby Tamblings league record of 129 goals. One word - LEGEND! |
We scored 5 goals in 30 mins with Torres off the pitch 3 goals in 60 mins with Torres on the pitch. Anyone who was there knew we were much better when Torres left, ^^^^That's what I'm hearing from a caller on 606 right now. . . and I don't doubt it!!! |
I won my H2H but the boys at the top have extended their lead on me! |
dayokanu: Have you seen Chelsea stats with and with out Lampard ??Lamps has won 7 out of 8 epl games he's played! Let's watch Luiz performance against a better team. If Luiz can do what I expect from a player in that position then Lamps/Luiz might be the partnership till season end. coogar: i don't expect anything else from youYou want me to dance alanta because he scored one goal in a walkover? Where was he against Corinthians and every tough game this season. I haven't watched today's match but I know he hasn't stopped falling over, dribbling himself and controlling the ball like a paraplegic. Na these things go matter next time the next big game comes around. |
Please we just won 8-0. Make una kill these shekpe keeper yarns, make we dance jigolo |
coogar: that is when he has the ball - how does he fare when he's not with the ball? wilshere/cazorla are not the carrick/obi/mulumbu type.....they would be pulling their marker all over the place with sharp movements and sheer artistry. all you need to see is the cleverley vs toure battles. each time cleverley has faced toure, yaya toure bit the dust!This is a different debate to the ones who told us he is slow. You mean he is not agile enough to turn quickly but same goes for every player his size. Yaya Toure is another one who has tremendous speed but is inert in turning because of his body size |
When Javi Martinez first came out, before he started sitting deep and playing tika taka, one of the first things I remember about him is that he used to like running through players with pure acceleration much like Kaka and Stevie G. The way a player plays may make him look slow. For example many gooners don't know that Dennis Bergkamp was the second fastest player at Arsenal circa 2001 according to official stats, simply because he was a player that preferred receiving the ball to feet. |
I don't know who told the guy above that Javi Martinez is slow. That's what you get reading all your football on google. Javi Martinez is quicker than 80% of the Arsenal team. |
Look now, forking Gareth Barry. Meanwhile my capo Aguero carry 1 point. |
I spent 8 points to get that muchacho Aguero plus sold Suarez who would prolly score hattrick tonight. Mscheeew |
Gambled big on man citeh, lost big on em once again |
Who dey nominate Nateevs in this season of all seasons where he got every single one of his analyses wrong. DK gets ma nomination but if he is ineligible, I give it to A-40 |
It was a fine result for a depleted team but Benitez's choices highlighted the imbalance in his squad. There is a shortage of strikers and central midfielders and a surfeit of wingers. The lesser-spotted Marko Marin was belatedly granted a first start and offered evidence why he has been kept in cotton wool for four months. It never reflects well on a winger when his full-back is a greater attacking threat, and Cesar Azpilicueta was. Inadvertently, Marin did change the game: his removal, and Hazard's arrival, was a pivotal point. |
nateevs: Torres joined 6 months before Emenalo became TD.Wrong use of information. . . Emenalo was Head Scout and personally recommended Ramires in summer 2010, so Emenalo has had transfer input/oversight long before he became TD. . . Arnesen was powerless in his last year and announced he was leaving by November 2010, good 8 months before the end of his contract. Not pinning Torres' signing on Emenalo. . . but Emenalo is the Agama lizard for Roman. . . nodding head like a lackey and telling him how he will make Roman's foolish fantasies a reality. . . typical hungry man runs, just trying to survive. . . nobody would employ him outside Chelsea. Roman decided he wanted more power. . . thats why he refused to replace Arnesen (who had since become powerless), sending his trusted Man Friday, Emenalo to provide cover for him. Emenalo, go and become Carlotti's assistant and spy for me. . . Yes Sir. Emenalo, I like this player Torres, provide me analysis and tactics why I should justify this Torres guy. . . . Yes Sir. nateevs: This is too much stick the poor dude is getting.Shuuush negro. . . Emenalo is not a charity case to feel sorry for him. . . Infact he is getting no stick at all. He is hiding under the anonymity of TD and Chelsea's cloak and dagger management structure where no journalists can prove categorically who is behind what decisions. . . .can you imagine Benitez being accredited with letting Lamps and Cole leave?. . . whilst he has nothing to do with the decision. . . just goes to show that the general public don't know who calls the shots, otherwise Emenalo would be crucified for several infractions this season. . . and rightly so! Forget Torres signing which we can all attribute mostly as a Roman event. . . Emenalo has got his central midfield terribly wrong. . . he's now getting his switchback tactics terribly wrong. . . nateevs: This is too much stick the poor dude is getting. If there are TDs that know how a team fits, there cannot be more than a handful of them. Most of them are a step over a scout. Most TDs are employed because of their ability to spot talent and they do just that - lure talent at the best prices possible. Many of them are in fact, HEAD OF THE SCOUTING NETWORK. So trying to scold Emenalo for not possessing skills that most of his mates don't anyway is always a step too far.Nonsense talk. . . if you give a manager no say at all in his team, or in finding out what he needs, then you must take all the flak for weaknesses in personnel/positions. With the way Chelsea managers are constantly disrespected by upper management, Emenalo has no Get out of Jail free Card. If Vilanova tells Barca TD, I need a DM with such and such qualities and that can also play centre-back. . .the Barca TD will look through his list and say "I've got Javi Martinez and Alex Song". We can only afford Alex Song. . . that's how TD's work. But Emenalo fancies himself as the manager. . . |
debosky: 7 goals + 4 assists and counting. . . .Hey man, I revised that to 20 to make allowance for corners and freekicks. . . 9 goals left. . . half the season gone. . . he is on target to prove me wrong. . . |
nateevs: Nigel De Jong must have been on astronomical wages. Wages that will not justify his inclusion in the team. While it is easy for City to move him on to Milan and pay part of his wages, they won't do the same for a potential rival in Chelsea.Nigel De Jong was on £70k a week which is less than Obi. He wanted a big pay and thats why Man City sold him, but rest assured he is not earning anything more than £100k in Milan and Citeh are not subsidising anything. There are several names out there. I only chose Nigel De Jong because he is the closest match to the kinda player Chelsea need. A player who can receive the ball off the back four, and has the energy, intelligence, speed, and tenacity to cover. Plus the most important criteria - he has a winning spirit!!! The second closest match to what Im looking for woulda been a dude like Axel Witsel. Then we coulda been talking about Fernandao or Steven Defour who are less perfect matches. We could be talking of Neustadter if we are really broke and looking for free transfer. Thats for DM. For CM, I woulda been copping Dembele NO DOUBT!!! It doesnt matter what player I name, the underlying fact is that Emenalo has the complete worst fits in midfield to play the system that optimises the team's qualities. You have finally acknowledged that Emenalo got it wrong this season after 6 months of argument which is good enough for me. Whatever you might yarn about next season doesnt concern me right now because next season, Emenalo would still be calling the shots. We would not be talking of weakness in Central mid and striker next season, we would be talking of left-back as well. He has no flavour of the personalities in the squad, the need for winners and team-spirit, the tactical balance, the need for physical strength, and he has no perception of the morale of the team. All he is doing is playing fantasy footie. . . and doing it badly. I would remind you how Moratti sunk £1bln into buying the best players for InterMilan in the 90s and early 2000s but never achieved anything because he had no tactical knowledge of what he was doing. . . although he was signing good players. . .Bergkamp, Recoba, Djorkaef, Pirlo, Seedorf, Ronaldo, Zamorano, Aaron Winter, Roberto Carlos, Angloma, Ventola, Sebastian Frey, Vieri, Panucci, Conceicao, Adriano, Crespo, Almeyda etc. . . you name it. . . he had no clue how they fit together. . . just signing good players like a SCOUT not a Technical Director Every action Emenalo has taken this season has led to events harmful to morale of players, whether you are talking of Hazard (being played too deep), Oscar (dropped to find balance), Cole and Lampard (thrown away), Studge (benched unfairly) and anyone forced to play stupid tactics to accomodate Torres. Not to mention his stewpid squad planning cost the club stability and led to managers being sacked, players losing position with all the upheaval and a general circus. This season is breeding a crop of players who dont care about the club. By next season, you would not be looking for positions to fill, you would be looking for CHARACTER cos players dont care no more. No one can play for Torres FC and give his best. Fairness is always key to morale. It would take a character like Mourinho or Guardiola now to give these players any sense of purpose again, get rid of non-performing cancers and morale-killers like Torres, stamp his authority on Abramovic and Emenalo, get these players organised and caring again. So forget about next season and what might or might not happen. nateevs: There's nothing to justify that Bony will cut it on the big stage. Kalou was scoring heavily in the Dutch league and bullying them. So was Mateja Kezman.Those ninjas you mentioned are baby giraffes like Torres. They have no touch, no balance and fall over themselves. Wilfred Bony will make it anywhere because he has superb ball control under pressure aligned with strength and is currently IMO, only second to likes of Berbatov and Ibrahimovic at receiving the ball with his back to goal. If you cant see that, you know jack about footie. And by the way, Im just pulling out names. Even Lukaku and Sturridge gives Chelsea a chance to be champions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKWodin3QOk |
debosky: Nah, it's the fanshare nonsense that got to Dudu - his 0.00000001 shareholding in Arsenal has blinded him somewhat.The £1.00 dividend Gazidis returns to him every year na im dey shack am. Infact he prefers not to sign players in January as long as his dividend increases to £1.25 ![]() debosky: Saint Santi Cazorla scores his first Arsenal hattrick.How we see am? Make we dey count dey go. It ain't over till it's over!!! ![]() |
Once Tboogie appear in the top 10 on the back of this Cazorla points, all una go gasto fear. Me I dey vex for Walcott but at least his goal has won me my head to head |
nateevs: I don't see any destroying going on to be honest.This sounds like what Wenger has been telling Gayyners for 8 years now. Great youngsters here and on loan yet flopping in everything. You have just told us why Emenalo is a scout, now tell us why he is a technical director. We don't want to hear nonsense about next season. You don't talk about next season with proven spine in the team like Terry, Ivanovic, Cech, Cole, Lampard and Mata with 100milla spent ontop. You must be madd!! We have the players, experience and mentality to WIN this season, if only the TD knows how they fit together and buy the right players to complement them in DM and striking department. Nigel De Jong and Wilfred Bony alone is enough to render this team champions. We don't give ninjas 200milla to tell us about the future. Nonsense! |
Walcott, guy gimme something jare! Dont let Cazorla give ma opponents the upper hand! |
Rebuilding abi destroying ![]() Ninja spent nigh on £200m over 2 years and someone is talking of rebuilding. There is no rebuilding going on or needed. Some eediot impostor posing as a technical director got his squad terribly wrong. The ninja only needed do what we asked him for in the summer - buy a decent DM and give the manager options for when shekpe keeper fails. A striker who can ACTUALLY PLAY FOOTBALL. Now the eediot is taking his foolishness further with his vertical passes nonsense. Can Vertical Passes teach your useless shekpe keeper to trap the ball? Is it not the mumu "switchback" he brought Benitez to play that we're playing aka vertical passes. Keep talking of Daily Mail while Benitez already told us in his first press conference repeatedly what Emenalo asked him to do. I dont need a psychic to tell me its the same switchback abi "vertical passes" plastic fans of Torres FC were singing about. Nateevs, have we seen our solid central midfield partnership yet, or is there just none at the club? We are already in December o. Emenalo is an eediot. They should demote him back to scout. |
Walcott you mug, my opponents are copping points all over the place. Ninja you better score hattrick here. |
Dj5naira is an extremely intelligent fella who pulls out some obscure similes with good allround knowledge. And his recent foray into battling ain't too bad either |
El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]The Idea in Bold I'll buy -- But everything mustn't be Emenalo, IBYou mean Emenalo was not behind this. . . http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2151724/Roman-Abramovich-rebuilding-Chelsea-Pep-Guardiolas-arrival--Neil-Ashton.html "Abramovich is making the final decisions based on Chelsea’s scouting network and the analysis provided by the club’s director of football Michael Emenalo. Under discussion is 4-2-3-1, a bespoke system that will be used purely for the benefit of Fernando Torres. Chelsea’s £50m striker will be at the top of it and there will be a three-man supply line stationed right behind. It will be a huge cultural change, especially for some of the players who came to rely on the ball sticking to Drogba in times of trouble. The talk at the training ground is of ‘switch back’, a tactical trap that will be set next season for opposition defences. They intend to draw the opposition away from their own penalty area, pushing up towards the halfway line before Hazard, Juan Mata or former Werder Bremen winger Marko Marin releases Torres for a one-on-one through on goal. It is a system that will be borrowed from Liverpool after a study of Torres’s goals revealed that 56 of his 81 strikes for the club were scored in similar circumstances. " Which manager was on ground in the training ground in May when Emenalo was planning "switchback"? When Emenalo did his investigation that Torres only scores from switchback, which manager was on ground? Who was fighting with RDM every day for failing to get the best of Torres. . . supposedly by playing "switchback"? "Di Matteo’s relationship with technical director Michael Emenalo was already strained, but it was stretched to the limit by the pressure to get Torres among the goalscorers." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2236606/Roberto-Di-Matteo-sacked-Chelsea-Roman-Abramovich-Inside-story-Neil-Ashton.html#ixzz2FKG2zAv7 Abegiii! RDM is now long gone, yet no one can show me the balance that Emenalo built or which midfield any manager can decide on as a good midfield to carry Chelsea. In Benitez first press conference, why did he keep mentioning Emenalo's name every sentence and mentioning the different briefings that Emenalo gave him? Now that he has the right manager to implement his fantasies, is his "switchback" or "vertical passes" leading Chelsea anywhere? You are telling me I dont know the backroom system and maybe the Technical Director was not at fault for all these. Who was responsible? Bruce Buck? ![]() Please. . . when does the spotlight turn on the incompetent Technical Director. . . the manager who he told us is capable of implementing his infantile fantasies based on his faulty tactical knowledge is failing. . . when do we start questioning him? |
A nice attempt to whitewash Gen Azazi's reputation. Ask several coup plotters and 'suspected' coup plotters what General Azazi's job is. His job has always been to protect likes of IBB and Abacha from coup plotters and sentence them to death in tribunal, so abeg leave these saintly yarns. |
El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Away from the Chagrins that are Putted Up against Our 50Big Something, I still think Corinthians did enough to get the Win, not minding Our missed Chances, the Brazilians putted up fine demonstration of defensive football through clever positioning and pressing and from what i believe that's Good enough to get a Win.Please lets not complain. . . these are switchback tactics. . . that is what Emenalo employed him to do in order to release vertical passes. . . It was obvious the only way to break Corinthians was by positioning high-up and playing tippy-tappy cos they gave no space to counterattack. In previous years when we had muscular players, we would have beaten em with counterattack and crosses, but from the moment Benitez ruled out tippy-tappy as a style of play in order to profit TORRES, the MaZaCar's have been de-optimised. . . what we now have is Hazard and such playing style of play more suited to Kalou, Malouda and Antonio Valencia. |
Since when did snail become seafood? No be under Plantain foilage wey dem dey find snail? For me, Im a real son of Naija Delta. . . no soup is complete without Imgbe (mussels) and Issam (periwinkles) Lobster thermidor, crabs, fried squid, prawns. . . I eat all that shyte. . . . except Octopus! |
debosky: He showed weaknesses in games prior yet scored 5 goals - is your opposition to Torres results-based or simply personal?Show me his results over the last 2 years, then I would ask you whether its results based. Its result based, shapekeeping based, tactically based and whatever else you want to term it. That nigga cant play football. |
debosky: Look beyond your pathological hatred for Torres for a moment Ibime - yes he failed to score, but the reports indicate he got into good positions, took shots, worked the keeper, etc and even scored a 'route-1' type header by exerting some 'physical presence' (ultimately disallowed) that didn't involve the much maligned vertical pass.All this grammar despite not watching the match. All the things I've listed are weaknesses in Torres game which he showed in abundance yesterday and showed in the 3 games prior. |
