He was part of those that celebrated Lampard signing. He so ashamed to admit. Talk about ego

Mumu, if you sack Lampard today, and rehire him tomorrow I will still celebrate his rehire. I said I will have goodwill toward him even unto relegation. If you like cry me a river, I'm not denying anything.

My own is simple, I will continue to criticize any player I want. You can criticize Lampard if you want but don't expect me to join you in that. Kepa should continue getting beaten by long range shots. I don't see what Lampard has to do with his short arms.

Ibime:
My legend!

My well of goodwill toward you shall never run dry, even if you take us to relegation

When Aston Villa was in a crisis, if they had considered their remaining matches as deadrubber games, they won't occupy the sixth spot on the table now.

We can all see what Emery is doing at the club within such a short time with the club extending their unbeaten run today.

The remaining matches for us are not deadrubber games. I beg to disagree.

If we finish the season below no. 10 on the table, we would find it hard to attract good players for the key positions we need quality signings for.

Appointing Lampard was a big mistake, and Boli is wrecking this club with his series of blunders and rash decisions.

There is no difference for us between 10th and 15th in terms of attracting players

Emery has been at Villa since October

Today is April 15th, season ends on May 28th

It was Lampard or Bruno Saltor because their main target Nagelsmann wants a break. Managers don't usually get sacked one week and take a job the next week, they try to have a break first, and Bruno Saltor is seeking his exit

And let me tell you this, Lampard may not be elite, but he is not useless. When Lampard was leading Chelsea to top4, Unai Emery was being sacked at Arsenal

When Lampard was at Chelsea, Arteta was never once ahead of him in the league. Even on the day Lampard was sacked, Arteta was behind us in the league table

We have a demotivated squad mad at Boehly for oversigning players and rendering most of them obsolete from one week to the next. Let them take out their frustration on the interim and let the new manager start afresh. What do you think the likes of Sterling, Pulisic, Madueke, ChukwuEmeka and co are saying to their agents right now. Mudryk has barely walked through the door and Felix has taken his place. Aubameyang, Madueke and ChukwuEmeka have never even put their foot in the door and been rendered obsolete. Is that who you want to motivate to end the season, they may crash a new manager before he even starts.

So take a chill pill, write off the season and don't trouble me when I point out Kepas continued drinking of long range shots which has been happening since 2018.

A001:
Of what use is Lampard's apointment if he can't win just a match in any of the games he'll manage for us?

I don't see how Lampard's Chelsea can defeat or get a draw against any of the remaining teams we're playing this season in CL and EPL.

He actually has no business in coaching.

That's not my business. I have already made peace with the season and looking forward to next season

I can criticise Kepa being a basket at long range shot without someone disturbing me about Lampard

Two truths can coexist and I can choose which one I want to focus on, and I choose to focus on the one that will still be a problem in September.

A001:
Dead rubber games? You know if Lampard fails to win or at least draw some of the remaining games, Chelsea could actually relegate.

Chelsea is not relegating. It's almost impossible for relegation clubs to get 12 points from 8 games

No Courtois example to defend shyt today?

Or let's deflect with unrelated talks of interim manager seeing out dead rubber matches

Where is ChukwuEze when you need him to play whataboutism for Tyrannosaurus arms Kepa

Unlimited22:
We don't GAF about weak players when the manager is the root of the problem, chopping from American maga

Hire a good manager then root out players.

And I like your certainty shaa, when PSG and Spurs are looking for managers and can offer European football when we can't.

Man shut up. Bruno Saltor was due to be in charge till season end then probably Nagelsmann appointed but Saltor heart wasn't in it. Season is over with no hope, you are playing whataboutism about my criticism of Kepa as if the dead rubber games left are more important than sorting out our future. Is it today Kepa became a liability, since 2018 when we signed him.

Unlimited22:
Oga you were celebrating when Lamps was appointed.

If you really wanted change you would have been pissed we didn't take the opportunity to get a better coach.

I agree with you we need a better goalie. I've even pointed out possible candidates in Diogo Costa and even Emi Martinez, even in the short term. Or Jan Oblak, despite how he's fallen off.

For DM, I've called Romeo Lavia, Declan Rice and Manuel Ugarte.

For CF, I'm also in agreement about wing strikers.

But all of this will be useless if we have a Gym teacher at the helm.

We already know our coach will be Enrique or Nagelsmann, and the process is long especially for Nagelsmann who wants a break

Let my legend earn his £2m in peace. I don't GAF what you talking about, what concerns you with getting migraine over a 10 game interim with top 4 unretreivable. All weak players must be rooted out. Don't start talking nonsense when I call them out. We lost 4-1 to this same Brighton in the reverse fixture

Unlimited22:
Call Ibime by his name too, chief.

He idolises Lampard so there's nothing you'll tell him that'll make him agree

Kepa,Felix and co will continue to get the blame even though they aren't the reason we have 30% possession at home to Brighton but as long as these players are there he will never accept Lampard can do any wrong.

Lampard is here for 10 games

I highlight what we can change, the Kepa that will stay with us for another 3 years, or the Felix that we can avoid

All my criticism is aimed at Kaizen improvement of the squad, which starts by getting rid of known and incurable weaknesses, not interested in anything else

Unfortunately I'm not watching the game, but I'm hearing stuffs about Kepa

Ebukacute:
Is it not obvious that captain jorginho was the one holding this team then. He left and everything fell yakata

Captain Jorginho had barely won a game for 3 months. You must be very foolish to say everything fell yakata after Jorginho left when it fell since late October

Our form after Jorginho is the same as our form since November with Jorginho

That question was a useless question from iamoyindamola cos any points we had, we gathered by October

Roland17:
His positioning and movement around the box reminds me of Benjani, especially when he was at Portsmouth. He just needs to add the celebration and allow his dada to grow longer.

Watkins is not a bully like Benjani

Until now Watkins has struggled physically although he is looking bulked up last few months

afrodoc2:
Being rested for the UCL 2nd leg.


Big boy tinz.

He has knee injury apparently

Is Havertz injured?

Nobody is densed. Focus on what was leaked. The lies revealed and the path has not been the same since Reagan stop lying or show proof of your claims. Reagan did not have the invasion of Iraq or syria in his policy back then.

You are trying to act like president don't influence and change the shape of a countries foreign policy.

Biden says he will go to war with China if Taiwan is attacked... That is Biden, not the army saying it.

It is America's long held policy to encourage countries embracing Western democracy and joining the EU and NATO, you Russian dümbfuck

He deserves a special balloon D'or for this 😁😁😁

benalvino3:
I think Biden shapes US policy as he is the leader. The path taken in Ukraine is linked to the politics and rhetoric the president comes with.

Presidents campaign on removing American troops from Iraq, some campaign on keeping the troops.

From their actions it seems a lot of what was leaked are true and it proves my point about the time they are wasting in ukraine.

The path on Ukraine is the same path USA has towed since Ronald Reagan. You guys are too dense and too living in pro-Russian news cycles to know. Enemies of the State. USA foreign policy is consistent

benalvino3:
The ones that was leaking against trump and scotus and many more are heroes right? Now leakers are evil if they leak against Biden's regime. it is funny how Wapo and NYT are fast to uncover the identity of this guy. The double standards.

They not leaking against Biden regime but against US policy and procedures that have been in motion since the days of Ronald Reagan and before that. I don't know of any leak against Trump that was US policy. It's usually some staffers close to Trump telling us how he shit in his draws etc

47c3ee:
Lmao, see excuse

As if tinibu is the first president to be elected in Nigeria, that he had to leave after the election, and his party started posting his old picture.


Keep deceiving yourself, every sensible nigeria knows that Batman is seriously sick and no where close to being healthy

That may be true, or he may be resting while taking thousands of calls. Correct me if I'm wrong but he was seen in Mecca recently right?

benalvino3:
I see how Wapo is trying to drag trump and Maga into this and i don't buy it. what we should consider is what was leaked and how serious it is. Not if he was Racist or not like one token Nigga highlighted.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhWUeo1o9Y4?t=393

this guy wants evidence as well.

All countries have secrets and all countries have spies and people that do dirty work

What no country can afford is a swell of anti-Govt libertarians who think their duty as citizen is to get involved in high level and top secret work and leak it to their fellow anti-Govt libertarians. The country is built on a lot that you wish you did not know, and it is not your place to know.

Unlimited22:
I was young when we had him but I loved him too.

Man we once had Gudjohnsen, Joe Cole, Duff, Robben and Drogba as attacking options.

Lampard, Makelele and Tiago behind them.

Terry Gallas Cavarlho Ferreira Cech behind them.

Omo.

Mourinho gave Roman a team that lasted 8 years through adversities, funny managerial sackings etc

Roman always did his best to sabotage it with his own signings like Shevchenko, Torres etc but the core of the group carried Chelsea through 8 years.

Chelsea decline started in 2006 when Roman forced Shevchenko on Mourinho, forcing Mourinho to play a 4-4-2 diamond to accommodate Shevchenko and Drogba together. In that process, Robben was lost to us, and that was the only reason Manure was able to take back dominance from us cos the 4-4-2 diamond was not the Chelsea machine of before. Many Chelsea fans don't know that was the only reason that team went wayward, yet the team still stayed competitive in all competitions, though never winning dominantly as 2004-2006. The middle of that team took scrub wingers like Malouda and co to uncharted territory, and many matches they just needed a winger to stretch the play or make a small difference but Robben was no longer around.

With what Boehly is doing now, sabotaging team structure with his multiple scattergun and unplanned signings, we just have to give Mourinho credit for building a team that Romans tinkering couldn't collapse completely.

benalvino3:
You don't know his or her name but you know he is a far right racist.

All of a sudden you hate leakers right? Did you focus on the disturbing fact about Ukraine war? Or you will just focus on the leaker. If he leaked info that the earth is gonna melt December 1st... Instead of you to worry about that, you instead want to worry if he is right wing or not.

Who is the leaker, can you corroborate what you just read?

The leaker is clearly an anti-Govt libertarian, racist, gun-loving nutjob if you actually read the article. It doesn't take two brain cells to know what category they fit in.

This Tinubu whereabout no come funny again o..

My fear from day one was/is northerners are going to rule in disguised,if he is elected..Major reason I never wanted him on board...


God help us all

You suppose know that the period between winning election and taking a seat is not the time for media appearances but a time to take 10,000 phone calls from Godfathers all over Nigeria looking to get their people into office.

Rest assured, a lot of work is going on, in the Nigerian sense that the intray for a President elect is full with settling different stakeholders. Tinubu is working . . . .in the way all Nigerian politicians work in the period between winning election and taking their seat.

A001:
I actually like Sabitzer. He can play multiple roles in the midfield including AM, CM, and DM. Ibime, do you think signing Sabitzer can solve our DM problems?

Sanitizer is not a specialist, good player to have though. Let's get specialist first

chrisooblog:
Little Messi The MRI tests for the 2009 set were conducted randomly for 3 players I think can't remember the exact number.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/oct/22/fifa-under-17-world-cup-age-test

However from 2013 I think FIFA made it mandatory for every single player to be tested. NFF and CAF also do their compulsory tests for everyone before competitions. That's how the generation of Iheanacho, Ndidi, Osimhen came to the fore.

I can't put my hand on my heart and say Osimhen didn't trim his age but the MRI testing of a thing has only ensured that he has a wiggle room of 2 maybe 3 years.

Plus anecdotes from his life story suggest he was barely out of secondary school before he joined the u17 camp.

Good point. I noticed that 2013 set got younger, but the question remains how did Kelechi get through that set. We have first hand witness from Griffon putting Kelechi at 31 or 32 now which is a 5 to 6 year gap to his football age

Griffon:
IB what’s your take on Bruno Fernandes as regards to this?

Can you trust him well enough in a CM position?

He is not a CM. I wouldn't want him in my team cos he lets Manure down in quite a few games, however I'm on record as stating that Bruno and Muller are the only players I will give free role to because the benefit is worth the tactical cost. I will still bench Bruno in big games though, but Muller does the work in all games.

chrisooblog:
As for age tax his u17 set used MRI testing so the max he could probably cut off from his real is 2-3 years max which could put him around 26/27 now. I went further to check his registered height then compared to now and he grew taller albeit marginally so if Bayern decides to sign him you will enjoy 3 good years at least.

Every set has used MRI testing since 2009 and some of those boys got away with adding 8 years eg Fortune Chukwudi in 2009. I think 3 to 5 years is a good assumption to add on any Naija under-17 player

Exonerate1:
Mudryk hasn't even played up to 100 career games yet how much did we pay for him with his lukaku esque first touch?

This is not even a dig on mudryk but when a player with the type of talent felix has is available, you do everything to get him.

I remember when arsenal fans were saying Ødegaard wasn't worth it after his first loan but look at him now, he's been one of the best players in the league this season.

What type of talent? Talent for weakness or talent for playing free role and destabilizing his teams shape without producing attacking numbers to compensate?

This is what happens when you apply monkey post thinking to real life football

Odegaard is a midfielder. He has his purpose as a part of the midfield, with or without producing attacking returns.
