But many sons of ex professionals didn't spit in people's faces. I'm sure he did it because of his father's legendary status making him feel proud. He can come and be a backup striker but I don't think he is somebody who will take us to the next level. We need a very wicked goalscorer and fighter in the box. I also don't trust many bubdesliga top scorers. See what we saw with Werner and are still seeing with harvertz.

Suarez, Zidane, Roy Keane, Rijkaard and co have done worse and you don't see anyone questioning their professionalism. Below is Rijkaard spitting at Rudi Voller. Suarez bites, Drogba and Zidane headbutt, but they give 100% in training

Most sons of ex pros don't even make it pro cos they are born with silver spoons. I went to school with one, Mark Lee, son of Colin Lee, former pro and Wolves assistant manager. He thought he was gonna be a footballer and had Wolves academy spot, but he was a lazy boy, and wasn't even top 3 player in our school year.

Lilian has two sons who have made it to the highest level, meaning they put in plenty work at youth level and had good guidance. It takes a lot of work and dedication to go pro and when you see a rich boy going pro, it's usually because he wants it bad, not driven by poverty or hunger.

You will see that behaviour in the Maldinis, Redknapps, Lampards, Alonso, Thiago and Rafinha, Vialli, Kaka and co, and you barely hear complaint from their coaches. 99% of pros kids don't make it cos they don't have that hunger. If you see one that made it, just know he has discipline and the right guidance to navigate any disciplinary situation, like how Lilian quickly cautioned him, Marcus apologized immediately and accepted one month wages fine without argument even though he said the spit was unintentional. Even the boy name Marcus is chosen after Marcus Garvey while his brother Kephren, who is on verge of France squad, is named after an Egyptian Pharaoh so you know Lilian is not some dumb father. He was known for his discipline and intelligence as a player, held most Caps for France, and also a UNICEF ambassador. These boys are from good family.

This is what happened. Thank you. Ibime see his bad behavior here. He also was heard on camera saying it's good benzema wasn't in the team when he wasn't picked any longer.

That's minor heat of the moment stuff. I thought you were gonna say he is always late for training like Dembele, fighting with coaches etc

This is the good parental guidance I'm talking about as regarding that spitting incident. Sons of ex pros are usually very professional.

As for Benzema, he's the one with disruptive behaviour in that French team and many of the senior pros wanted him out.

Tinubu to the world

Waiting on CNN BBC, fox etc

Daily Loud. Is that a marijuana website?

Make una calm down. USA won't go out of their way to deligitimise the elected President of the most populous black nation and cause instability where there need be none. Nigeria security wahaleux is already too much, they will work with the Govt that the Nigerian democratic system produces

Funny how you people always run to USA when you feel cheated in your elections. I wonder whether Russia or China give a shit about whether the leader of a country is democratically elected or not

timbros:
At their very prime, choose one.

What's Gary Neville doing there?

I can't choose between the other 3. All World Class. I will ask you to make Lahm an option at leftback and choose him there, then come back and toss coin between Cafu and Alves for right back, though I'm leaning toward Alves for the assists.

afrodoc2:
Predrag Mijatovic.

Ah yes, of 1998 UCL fame

Leyqute:
Can you name 7 of them?

Can name all except the bottom left guy. Who is he?

WhoDeyHause:
We should just buy a strong world class striker that finishes up more chances and can be a presence in the box. That thuram moves sluggishly atimes and he also has a bad behaviour.
I think nagulsman will be picked above Enrique cause he will more willing to be a yes man than enrique who is more stubborn. Both of them are great for us.

How can Thuram move sluggishly when he is a former winger? Man has power, pace and speed and can dribble. I tend to favour strikers with physicality of no9 but history as wingers, that's why I liked players like Suarez and Arnautovic cos these players can make things happen for themselves, not waiting for service.

Are there incidents of bad behaviour? Care to share? In my experience, I tend to find children of ex-footballers to be quite professional because they have good guidance from their fathers.

Ballzproblem2:
Boehly slander will end this season, first year as a club owner not perfect but will get things right 👊

I wonder why they all keep raising the same problem to fix

GK, DM and Striker

Nice talks from both candidates. I will only add RW to this list

For striker, they should take the cheap option and go for Marcus Thuram on free transfer. Tired of weak strikers that can't make things happen on their own

Ballzproblem2:
Boehly will rather let chelsea sink that give Enrique control

Enrique looks like he knows Chelsea problem. He is asking for exactly what we need, not more ninny CAMs

Capaldi:
""Play as midfielders left or right "" lol. You think is Fifa or Pes. Bruno, Odeggard and Kdb are all attacking midfielders in their respective teams.

KB and Odegaard are CMs

Muller and Bruno are the only AMs there, and only Muller's team is successful from those 2

CM is 4-3-3

AM is 4-2-3-1

There is nothing like free role in football if you want to be successful or unless you play in Bayernliga

Ballzproblem2:
shifting goalpost typical ibeme tactics,I ask you simple question did mount perfom well as AM in Chelsea or not? lol.

Mount has been playing wings for Chelsea if you didn't notice

Ballzproblem2:
isn't mount your boy an AM even though he claimed to favour 8? did he not use to win chelsea player of the year twice before his performance decrease for whatever reason.


club going down has nothing to do with player but the caliber of coach, you are worried about the wrong thing bro ,as long they'll play him behind striker he do well.


nkunku is very technical , you don't need to physical to be a successful AM no wonder you like galladog,as an AM once your passing vision is intact and little dribbling you can be a successful AM.

You need to be physical (very good speed) to adapt to the wings. Felix and Havertz don't have that

To adapt to CM, you have to be technical or physical or both. A CM technique is different from an AM technique. A CM technique is about never losing the ball in a variety of situations. Bruno Fernandes and Havertz are example of an AM who will never have that CM technique. Bernardo, Wijnaldum and Iwobi are examples of those who can adapt. We will see when Nkunku land. Also the way you press is very different in both positions

andrew444:
It depends who you learn somethings under

Won’t be surprised if Kompany comes good at the epl

It depends on your timing, luck and support too

Arteta could have been waffed many years ago and Kompany nearly took Anderlecht to relegation

Ballzproblem2:
nkunku is a successful AM 🤷, just say your club no fit utilize the position

Successful for himself or the club?

Let him not be like Ozil and Coutinho that will break assist record while their club are going nowhere

Anyway he is a black man, I trust he has the physicality to adapt to CM or wings successfully as needed, unlike the weakling CAMs we are seeing

Ballzproblem2:
what has iheanacho played to fight osihmen,I will rather call that gift orban

You will always take 3 strikers to tournament anyway so all 3 of them should fight for one spot, with Osimhen as the main man and the other two as backup

There are games you will need to bring on Kelechi when you are creating chances and strikers are rushing their shots, because Kelechi is the calmest striker in the box, that take his time to place his shot

zeusis:
Kelechi is very poor as a number 9. He functions best as an SS

Kelechi is just fine as substitute for Osimhen

andrew444:
Well my team don change back sha

Was just trying to accommodate chuks because he has been good

While your team is changing back, leprous fingers are forcing CAM upon CAM on Chelsea and we are seeing the result

I grew up in an era where the teams with no CAM are successful (Chelsea, Manure, Barcelona) , while the team that pack CAM are useless (Arsenal and Madrid)

And leprous fingers keep forcing CAM on Chelsea. Even Liverpool had to get rid of Coutinho and Madrid had to get rid of Ozil to be successful, using the 3 forwards and 3 CM format

Fools on this thread should keep hyping useless CAM position till we finally turn to Arsenal of those days

Ballzproblem2:
Nigeria national team lack quality Midfield, only iwobi is descent,the rest trash
.


BTw who the Bleep is still calling Ahmed Musa to super eagles training camp,the pesin well at all?

In the last AFCON, Aribo played as well as any CM I have seen in SE in over a decade

Midfield should be Ndidi, Aribo and Iwobi

Let Moses Simon and Lookman fight for left wing while Tella/Olise/Chukwueze fight for right-wing

Kelechi should go fight with Osimhen at no9

andrew444:
Olise is a right winger and attacking midfielder ,he has played both position this season

While chuks can only function as a right winger

The super eagles lack creativity and only can be our AM

He is primarily a right winger, same as Chukwueze

You go soon wake up from this AM nonsense that is befalling lazy Nigerians and foolish Chelsea fans

Your team was successful with 3 CMs and 3 forwards, it's when you went chasing specialist AM like Coutinho and Griezmann that you fell down

Any AM that can't function as a CM is a waste of space. Check Pep team, all his central attacking midfielders are primarily CM (KDB, Gundogan, Bernardo). Olise can't function as a CM, so that AM talk is a continuation of the foolishness we see on this thread week in, week out

andrew444:
Lol

They play different position though

Olise is yet to decide to play for naija ,the NFF have been on his issue since his championship days

Man is hoping for France or England

That was then, reality done dey set in

andrew444:
Chuks played nonsense in naija last 2 games for sure

Olise might come good ,but you might not see this crystal palace performance on the naija shirt ,expecially with the Portuguese potter we parade as coach

Chukwueze has been playing nonsense since Afcon

Before that he was injured

If you check well, he has never performed for Naija. 5 years is enough, let someone else try.

Ballzproblem2:
if olise reject Algeria na Nigeria en go come choose? he is waiting for France to call him up even though his chances are slim

Olise rejected Algeria because he told them he is waiting for Nigeria, Algeria fans started abusing him. Of course if France jump in first, he is not stúpid

Nathan Tella also has been begging for SE shirt

I would not mention these players unless they showed willingness to play for Naija, that's why I didn't mention Eberechi Eze

andrew444:
Chukwueze that have more G/A than bukayo this season or the one that destroyed Madrid yesterday ,which one ?

Olise might perform nonsense on those coco yam farm we parade as pitch

Chukwueze dey perform nonsense on that Cocoyam pitch, let's try something else

Olise with three assists. Nigeria should sign up him and also Nathan Tella

Throway that Chukwueze who has never been the same since his injury

seankafor:
he might be motivated by your story.. you never can tell

I also used to get random shares from like 10 years ago when we used to argue Jogginghoe matter

afrodoc2:
Yeah sleeping pill is a slippery slope. After some time that dose will stop working and then you need to increase again and again.

It is better to carry out behavioural changes like reducing coffee and alcohol, appropriate exercise, improving phone,TV, and book hygiene. Then also work on reducing underlying stress and anxiety.

And put red light on your phone after 8pm etc

Exonerate1:
Get out of here with this rubbish.

The same issues some us complained about when he was our manager for almost two years was still there yesterday. It doesn't matter if he had one training session or hundreds

His defensive structure is still as bad, he can't coach an organized press and he can't make his team play centrally.

Felix is an advanced playmaker not a high volume creator. That's why we were still going for arsen zakharyan even after we signed Felix.

Shut up clown

And you didn't notice any of these under Potter?

You've got your Felix, now talking another nonsense. So na Zarkaryen you dey blame now

I've told you clowns, your CAM philosophy is a scam. You claimed Havertz was the creative AM we needed, you got him, you claimed Felix was the creative AM, you got him, you are still searching for AM. You already have Nkunku to come, ChukwuEmeka and many others, you are still searching for AM. Keep looking for phantom pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Your weakling philosophy is dragging Chelsea to the pits. It's funny how we created the most chances recently just using the drive of Kante and his ability to win duels, same Kante you hate.

All that needs to happen is your two weaklings need to start winning duels and 1 v 1s, they are getting the ball enough in forward areas, no excuses. But like I said, a weakling will always be a weakling

You are a weakling, that's why you gravitate toward them

Only two of those three examples happened within the last one month. We played Tottenham in late February, six weeks ago.

But I got your point. Kepa is good enough as a second keeper.

His shorter arms make him susceptible to conceding long-range shots.

You are forgetting we have had international break for 2 weeks

Add Patson Daka shot from outside the box vs Leicester, that is 4 long range shots conceded in little over 4 weeks

andrew444:
Courtois is a world class GK ,but he do concede easy goals almost every week

Go and watch Laliga and see the easy goals courtois has been conceding

You just have agenda against the Spanish guy and nothing else ,you can’t even hide it

We are talking about long range shots. Stay out of it if you don't know the conversation

Thibaut barely concede long range shots unlike Kepa that concedes one almost every week

A001:
Okay, Kepa's past mistakes still haunting him. In the past few months, he has improved massively and condeced lesser long-range shots.

He deserves to be our keeper, though not the primary keeper if we can get a better goalie.

But I think the goalkeeping position isn't our pressing need now. Getting a proven coach, a reliable striker, and a good DM are the top priorities.

I just gave you 3 examples that happened literally within the last month

Yes, he has improved in short range, but he is still conceding one long range shot almost every week

Infact I guarantee that opponents are planning and encouraged to try these shots

FBS:
- Go watch Villareal's goal against Real Madrid and tell us how short Thibault is.

A001:
Some of the best keepers in the world wouldn't save that shot, oga Ibime. Chukwueze scored a similar goal (the match decider) against Curtois yesterday, who is among the top goalkeepers in Europe.

I'm sure if it was Kepa who conceded that goal, some people would have blamed him saying top keepers in Europe would save it.

Does Thibaut Courtiis concede long range shots every week

This is the selective sampling I'm talking about

"Oh only 30% of keepers would save that"

When you apply that every week over several weeks, you find that you have a goalkeeper underperforming all taller goalkeepers in long range shots stopping

Courtois may concede one of Kepas goals, but there are others he won't concede, then you'll find another keeper that will concede the ones Courtois will save

In probability, that's like applying an OR function, the probability keeps increasing

"Man Utd to defeat City AND Arsenal" is a lower probability than "Man Utd to defeat City OR Arsenal"

Courtois may concede Nunes goal OR Skipp goal OR McGinn goal, he won't concede Nunes goal AND Skipp goal AND McGinn goal

In all 3 of these goals I just mentioned, you will find a probability to absolve Kepa in each isolated incident, but not all 3 together

Kepa is an ANDroid, a guaranteed probability
