Make no mistake, guardiola did not only praise him, guardiola went all out to get him. He was close to signing until Sarri stepped in. Don't make it look like it was just one of those professional courtesy things.
You are now obsessed with this player. Desperate to capitalize on any mistake he makes as if there is any player on the planet who will never make mistakes or who will forever deliver 10 out of 10 performances every day.

Jorginho is an excellent midfielder. The world of football knows this. You really do enjoy fighting a losing battle. Don't you? grin grin
Same way Guardiola went all out to sign Chygrinsky, Benjamin Mendy, Alex Hleb, Gabriel Jesus, Claudio Bravo, Nathan Ake etc. Guardiola is lucky he dodged that bullet to sign Rodri, a player who can turn on the ball and never gets dominated, although he is still slow. Better to have a player that can dominate though slow than one who always gets dominated by other midfield playmakers and still slow, lean and weak.

That's how Rodri came on in 69th minute and still completed 50% more passes than belle-face who played 120 minutes in the last Euros. Let's not talk about last time they faced in September.

What exactly does this have to do with making school boy errors though for his age and experience, plenty words yet so minute points
Don't mind Donjazet. Anytime you point out factual deficiencies in belle-face game, he will go and pull old Guardiola quote. He even went to quote match Guardiola flogged Napoli 4-2. That's how Guardiola likes it, praising poor man's version of his teams that will bend over for råping. Same Guardiola exploited Jogginghoe jogging to flog Chelsea 6-0 few months after making that quote.

Guardiola also praised Nathan Redmond to high heavens. Let's go sign him.

The Ward Prowse red card incident was comical. Not the Jorginho pass to Mendy but the first one he passed back to Rudiger without much pressure that you'd expect any other decent DM to spin out from instead of passing to Rudiger. That first unnecessary pass to Rudiger when he could have turned, encapsulates his incompetence at the half-turn and why he always hides under the press and can't even maintain an average level of possession in tough games. That was a 3 on 3 press. Rudiger was already marked while Ward-Prowse was not even that close to Jogginghoe. Any other DM turns there but Jogginghoe chose to pass to a marked Rudiger and put him under pressure. Rudiger panicked and sent it to Mendy who was being closed down, and Mendy sent a risky pass back to Jogginghoe. All because Jogginghoe cannot turn in 5 yards of space between him and Ward-Prowse. Talk about belle-face playmaker.
Anyone who knows what they are watching in midfield play will see the same lack of confidence on the half-turn by Jorginho every game. What will make a DM not be able to spin out from this West Ham press. That's why I call him belle-face playmaker

Polite reminder about the Ward Prowse press I highlighted few weeks ago. This happens umpteen times a game, but we only get to highlight when it leads to an incident.

For your 3 friends. Afterall, you are the first in line for a booster shot. You are more afraid of dying than anyone in Nigeria
When your life is worth pennies, it makes no difference whether you live or die. That's why you chance diseases without timely diagnosis and treatment, and shrug your shoulders when family and friends die however preventable. Same way poor people chance journeys on Interstate roads where kidnappers could snatch their life when they could fly over with few tens of thousands. If God is kind enough to call some of us early, rest assured life insurances will compensate our families handsomely enough to let a father rest in peace with a smile on his face, whereas a death in your climes will reduce your children's lives to worth no more than that of a fowl. Some lives are more important than others, that's why they are guarded more preciously.

Chelsea football is too archaic as a champion team we are suppose to be pressing teams to submission. our last match Watford now westham press us high up the pitch and forced errors. tuchel needs to cut out this counter nonsense, organize a high line press quickly if not teams will start getting confident playing us. other world class teams play 3at the back and still press enough of this counter nonsense and defending one goals.start emulating man city and Liverpool score more goals and full press, if not get ready for this same nonsense again.
You want to play highline with Jorginho as DM? Good luck!

Two things are non-negotiable in a DM, the ability to play a highline and have enough speed to track runners, and the ability to receive ball with back to opponents, and use half turn to evade the press. None of these skills are existent in Jorginho.

What Jorginho is good at is organising defence, intercepting balls in low block and positioning properly. Unfortunately, none of these are relevant for a team looking to go on the attack. Like a student who is good in geography sitting a Maths test.

Nothing I say here is out of bias. If a player doesn't have the fundamentals to play what we need to play, no need beating around the bush, he needs to go. I look for qualities, I don't hate personalities. As much as I hated Havertz in midfield, it did not take many games to see him as a false nine to be comfortable that he has the required skillset to play there, and I said I am happy for us not to sign a striker and Havertz play 9 this season. There is no bias in football, I am only biased against players that hold my team back. Thunder will fire any Mkpuru miri smoker comfortable with Jorginho as our DM. Truth will always catch up to lies no matter how many people back the lie.

As for Lukaku, he is still on the comeback from a one month layoff. Playing 10 mins here and there. You can't expect a big body striker to be back in rhythm that quickly from a layoff. Most folks here aren't old enough to remember how long it took Drogba to look decent after injury layoff under Scolari, talkless of Lukaku playing 10 mins here and there. Scolari season, Drogba hit 5 goals in 24 matches, his belly was protruding, his touch was semi-professional and his movement was dire. It took till April for Drogba to start looking sharp again. I'm sure Lukaku will be scoring again shortly

We don't know how Epstein introduced the 14 year old to Trump. Just asking one single question to the victim means there is nothing to see there Creates a sound bite for media to latch on with their lies in my opinion.
A golf club with swimming pools is a place to you can take your niece for an outing.

How about Bill? He flew 27 times in that paedo plane. Several times to Epstein island sometimes called orgy island . Aboard Lolita express.
You only want to hear Trump, a chance meeting IMO but whatabout Bill. And many others? Named by victims as having been trafficked.
Ghislaine worst charge is conspiracy to traffic minors across state lines, carrying at least 40 years.
Do you not want rhose who abused these lityle girls to have their day?
Bill is a known philanderer. Epstein trafficked women as well as girls. Bill sure for the women own. When we hear of 14 year olds being brought to Bills house, it's worth investigating

The first cases of COVID-19 emerging was of people dropping like flies in the streets of Wuhan.
The delta variant also had pitiful images of Indians on wheelbarrows.
Omicron has not seen deaths on that scale.So far according to WHO not a single death.
Im unaware that a covid test can rapidly identify the particular strain. I am aware that delta variant genomes needed to be sequenced in a high tech lab that very few testing centers have. I would think some countries only had a single such lab and expertise.
20% of all positive tests in UK are sent for strain analysis.

Easy to retrospectively sequence the specimens of all fatalities in South Africa over the next two weeks, or a statistically significant sample of them

Let's assume thats true. Epstein took a 14 year old to see Trump. As who? His grandpa, dad or godfather or abuser? Or as a gift to Trump to use and disuse?
As someone who is comfortable with such behaviour around Trump. Put it this way he won't take a 14 year old to meet the pope

Im wondering why the Omicron variant is being hyped, vaccine mandates, people getting fired, travel bans to countries with zero Omicron cases . Symptoms are mild according to South African doctor, one.patient went to the doc saying he was just feeling tired.
Yet not a single soul has died from the Omicron according to WHO.
They need two to four weeks to confirm if the illness is as mild as early anecdotal evidence suggests. If it's as mild as suggested, they will encourage it to become the dominant strain to get rid of other strains

Africans don't have Underlying conditions as in the west? Maybe the kind of food we eat... I don't know.
Africans with underlying conditions have already died from the condition. West is carrying many people that should have died since if not for fantastic healthcare.

I have lost 3 friends to kidney failure in PH in the last 7 years, all in their 30s. Wetin dey cause high level of kidney failure in young men in Nigeria? I don't know any young person abroad with kidney failure, and the ones who have such in the West are still alive with transplants, dialysis and such. Nigerians die like fowl from common diabetic shock.

Besides, Nigerian deaths from Covid are severely underreported, often falling under the very Nigerian killer called brief illness. On the other hand, Nigeria has an overwhelmingly young population who are less susceptible to Covid, lower rates of obesity, and hot weather and sunlight which kills the virus quickly on surfaces.

No matter how BTC advocates paint it as a hedge against inflation and the wider economy, BTC is actually the most correlated asset to wider macroeconomic trends.

Like I said, in times of uncertainty, institutions shed their riskiest assets first starting with crypto. From Omicron fears to poor November job numbers to Fed hinting interest rate rises, the macro picture is not great for risky assets. Guess what, if in two weeks South Africa confirm the Omicron variant is mild and barely causes death or serious illness, market will pick up again.

As for me, about 70% of my capital was committed before this dip. I cut part of some positions such that 40% of my capital is committed, with the other 60% dry to buy at $30-$35k. When you have taken good profits back home to fiat, you can afford not to get emotional about things.

There was no improper conduct with Trump and Epstein , they keep bringing it up.
Epstein went with her to Mar a Lago. When a young girl sees him chummy with big men she more or less will trust him. Thats part of grooming. Preparing and desensitizing the victim for whatever sinister designs he has on her.
The trial from my point of view is geared towards a conviction for Ghislaine.
Whatever crimes were committed to children by Epsteins friends are not being brought to light. Ghislaine goes in for life, the sad chapter of Epstein is closed.
No man can comfortably bring an unrelated 14 year old girl to another man's house unless they are birds of a feather

depression ke cheesy it's a typical issue with versatile players like him, serious injury, loses form, loses his place, gets played out of position

I was against signing him, he has lost his confidence and his efforts lead to mistakes that push him back into that hole, people like that need support, Diego Simeone tough love shattered the guy, tuchel man management is nothing to write home about, if klopp had him, it will be a different story
We are not rescue project for players we don't own and will not benefit from financially after rescuing them.

Atleti should go and build back their asset. He is a broken man.

If we want to rescue someone, I suggest Lewis Baker

There is still a good player there, just needs to find his rhythm

This picture is a lie and highly deceiving. This picture included goals scored in the academy. And even at that doesn't still amount to 95 goals. This is purely mischievous fake news meant to deceive people. I mean it's just like adding up loftus cheek and odoi's academy goals and calling it "professional" stats. I guess this is why you shared it as picture instead of the tweet, because under that tweet, people drag havertz and Chelsea no be small. We paid too fucking_ much for him.

Havertz has to do more. Mind you he has only 2 champions league goals in his career so far out of 24 fucking_ appearances. Who dash am 58 assists?? grin grin grin please verify info before bringing them here.

It's funny how you won't notice Jorginho's influence in a game he's on but the massive dip in quality of our midfield when he's absent just makes you wonder if he's just a sideways passes merchant or just underrated as a midfielder.
When his replacement is Saul, that's understandable
