I'm not buzzed about Joao Pedro ,l wish we went for Kenan Yildiz and now it seems we are not done signing attackers with the kudus links flying around.

These guys must have some Saudi club waiting in the wings to buy all the players they are pushing out cos I don't understand this madness

Tyrique George should be looking to leave Chelsea immediately

I don't understand their thought process on creating too much competition for wingers

Joao Pedro is a good player though but I wouldn't pay more than £45m for him

Bahamas95:
My style isn't there, I do "A" but with one arm.
.

That's most of us style, then we use the other free shoulder to bounce, and the free hand may be clutching the belt to aid with the bouncing

Just watching the highlights after the break and all i can say is enzo Fernandez is a m.ad man. The chance palmer played directly to the keeper that benfica now countered from, the player ran in front of him like he was not there. Okay you no get speed but why not take one for the team by fouling the player.

Every Chelsea player that ran back during that counter ran past enzo, this was after having 2hrs break o.

Don't recall this incident, but Enzo is never there. A complete liability who makes our midfield a hot knife through butter

The same way they glide past him.isnthe same way he is late to every press, out of position when returning and causing overloads on our defence

Anybody with 10% football sense knows Chelsea are an instantly better team without him

See as Lavia-Caicedo combo had us with relaxed mind for all 86 mins yesterday

Everybody done dey register 5-2, 5-1 and so on

At least make we use this one ring bell

All is well that ends well

Thunder fire lightning!

Neto!

So Guiu was on bench when Ireti brought on Nkunku for Delap?

airmark:
The match is begging for a dribbler.

Is Madueke suspended or something?

Andrey Santos must come on, and drop out Tosin

If not for respect, take off that Nkunku join

Amethyst101:
Jesus, see pass, this Gusto na epa oh

And na midfield Ireti dey play the clawun

And Ireti has already messed us up by bringing cursed players like Nkunku on that can't do anything and put us in a 5 man defence

One of the defenders need to come off for Andrey Santos immediately

Malo Gusto is just a curse

Match will be back on soon following a 7 minute.warm up

Gittens having medical

Media sources report that Israel is preparing to carry out a large-scale aggressive aerial operation in Yemen, targeting Houthi-affiliated sites, in addition to Yemeni infrastructure and governmental and military headquarters, similar to the attacks it previously carried out in Iran.

I have no doubt. Iran's ring of fire around Israel has been decapitated except Yemen.

Syria gone, Hezbollah gone, Hamas cut off, just Houthis remain

Israel will be coordinating this one with the Saudis who will prepare the Sunnis to take back Yemen. Sunnis make up 65% of Yemen and they will be remiss not to take advantage of the aerial bombardment to launch their own ground operations and take back their country.

If Iran is not scared, they will attack on behalf of Houthis. If they are scared, they will let the Houthis fall.

Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei’s advisor also BACK from the ‘DEAD’

Israel claimed it killed Ali Shamkhani in June 13 strike

He says he was buried ‘under rubble for 3 HOURS’ — IRIB

Don't worry, he is breathing with lung ventilator after his chest was crushed and using same ventilator to state that nuclear sites are destroyed

Enzo5:
we never forget the truth ibime, we never forget

😂

Be quiet. I am one of his biggest promoters here, na Una still cook me for supporting him

Bluelines69:
Remember when Ibime was cooked for this Gordon boy

Enzo5:
oh my God this guy say na player of the tournament, bro at least try hype your own club player, quenda who has been by far better than elliot who can't even bench jones in midfield nor anyone in liver's attack

BlueMann:
Elliott, the midfielder has zero assists and zero big chances created

Imade the striker has three assists and five big chances created

Indeed the difference is clear

fredoooooo:
Woltemade .. The German striker ..The best I the Tournee so far

Fellas help me check something abeg

From Gordon to Elliot, I does not miss.

Amethyst101:
Na like this America go host World cup next year, wey thunder go dey wait to literally fire people??

rooftops:
Hahahaha this man.. i want to believe the stands are insulated

Lightning rod is not 100% guaranteed. The same rod wey absorb the one wey go hit fans go absorb the one wey go hit players, but shoe get size. They can take miniscule risk with fans but zero risk with players

Thecassanova:
Why the break

Danger of lightning strike

As dem protect players from lightning but fans dey exposed, you go know say all men are not created equal

Reecey boy!

Elnino4ladies:
Funny, this is our best performance in this tournament so far

Simply by bringing Lavia into midfield and moving Enzo out

What anybody who knows even 10% of football can tell you lying down

Enzo5:
yes they removed enzo and placed him at the corner flag

They moved him to AM where again they are just accommodating him

Wherever you put him is a downgrade of that position

We would have more attacking impetus and overloads with Palmer in that position and Madueke in Palmer position

We are just accommodating him

Enzo5:
chelsea is playing you are busy watching u21 finals, who do you this thing ibime

England match started 8 and Chelsea match 9 so I watched first half

If you like no watch match, later you go come dey use Livescores

See the way Lavia dey control midfield, Benfica no see chance. That's what happens when you remove Enzo from the midfield.

This Benfica keeper no get joy at all

We have been completely dominant and comfortable. That's what you get with a Lavia-Caicedo pivot

Formation is OK except for Badiashile inclusion

Ireti always does something infuriating even after getting some things right

TheLequte:
Salah played with Mane and Firminho, two outstanding forwards who ensured he got all the glory. He played a role in Liverpool’s progress but he didn’t carry the team on his back.

What of Pires and Begkamp

Harvey Elliot again

Enzo5 go soon cry

Player of the Tournament

semid4lyfe:
I know the numerous bans and blocked posts from the AI bot has contributed to your vexation but please calm down, and try to see the bigger picture.

Now make I address the issues wey you don raise.

According to NCC, Nigeria has about 107 million active internet users. Nairaland has 3.2 million registered members, and just recently, Statisense reported that NL is the 4th most visited Nigerian website with 10.83 million visits. But when you compare that with how long NL has been around (since 2005), way before the current top three websites, the numbers are piss poor. For a platform that has been in existence for 20 years, NL should have a far better reach.

Also. from my interactions with Gen Zs in my line of work, many of them no even sabi Nairaland. But these same people dey TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc. And the reality is that NL cannot grow without attracting Gen Zs. That’s why this new share button makes sense. Unlike the old way that only shared posts within NL and only URLs externally, this one lets people share posts within NL, and send both URL and post content directly to WhatsApp, Twitter, Telegram, and Facebook, which is a smart move to improve visibility and traffic.

Yes, NL is primarily text-based but make you no dey talk like say no one go wan share NL content. Real life stories, personal experiences, expert opinions. professional advice, political commentaries etc emanating from NL are posted elsewhere. I’ve seen Nairaland posts on WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, Telegram and even get quoted in blogs and newspapers. So the idea that because it’s not video or picture, nobody go share NL content no follow..

Lastly, sharing ≠ losing anonymity. I have used the feature to share a post to myself on whatsapp and nobody’s identity was exposed. The shared post appeared as posted by Ibime on NL. We're all using monickers so wetin be the fuss about this anonymity? Has sharing Ibime's post unravelled his identity to me? No! I am still as clueless as I have always been about him. In fact, this one na just unfounded paranoia and no follow at all.

You’re right about the spambot being frustrating though, but that’s a different issue entirely. Despite the inaccurate AI bot, NL still needs proper sharing tools and better visibility for content. Both things can exist together and one doesn’t cancel the other.

Most people opposed to this new share feature, na status quo bias dey worry them. Change isn't always easy but sometimes it's the exact thing that's needed to move forward.

I done hear you. At least make local share still remain and fix bot issues before trying to attract external users
