MercylessMercy:

FA Cup is yet to be released

nateevs:
James sef never play.

James played against Tartan army

Kilishihunter:
Cause Luke Shaw hardly showed any flaw

But he brought on Trippier to play left-back while sharing minutes

It be like Chilwell done commit for training camp

Is Chilwell the only outfield England player not to see minutes this tournament?

Why Southgate wicked am like this na?

The useless combat DMs for England should hurry up and concede at least one goal na

As the games become tougher from here in, Mount will start every game

Mount with another non-open play assist

Was Harry kane on the move before sterling passed the ball?

Kaaaaaaneeee!!!

By the power conferred on me by the council of read-only gang, I sanctify this thread like SB in JM's first stint. May we not Gerrard as we head towards the EPL battle. May we not receive premium Ls like the bald ones, or get stripped and whipped along the streets of NL like the Amala Turners on Suit. Long may we reign! May we not spend millions of pounds on a Fridge that won't ice ordinary water. May we not become accustomed to tardiness and mid-table finish and winning the away jersey beauty pageant, may our hunger be sated with proper trophies, and may we continuously eat. May TT not develop yellow teeth overnight. May we continuously whine waste to the gbedu in the venues of our rivals. All these and more we ask in the name of the round leather game!
Fenibeso has said it.
Otum has said it.
Onero has said it.
So shall it be!


Ise!

This guy, where you dey since?

BlueAngel444:
good word "coincided" but the "cause"

Don't forget they finished above Chelsea after his return - from a long way back

DissTroy:
Why would you have blocked a number who you allegedly send money to for your own NGO? Pretty easy time to have convinced.

Unfortunately, you can only make assumptions from what you see on the internet. All that digital digging you pride yourself on is at best assumptions.

If you have a transfer agent on WhatsApp, you block them so as not to be bombarded daily with Naira exchange rates (which keep falling like Confetti) as well as daily freight rates as below. Unblock when you want to transfer and block when you finish your business to avoid being bombarded

Of course the NGO talk is just a figure of speech. I don't need to register or publicise any of my charitable works. I don't make my money online or have any appearances to keep up from a CSR perspective

DissTroy:
Oh, and Ibime Michael, it took you long enough to type that after refreshing the hours. Good you have found the balls to square up.

Like I started, time to hide in the shadows is over. You'd be held to the light by everything you say or imply and always so.

You can keep posting screenshots while reveal nothing other than someone talking about an audit job which could be anywhere. The same audit job you claimed you were interviewing someone for (and it's not like you are the one to pay) as a reply to me during the first week of June.
What are you going to say next? That you are paying him.

You claimed you dashed off 4 million naira (10,000 dollars) to a stranger Nairalander. Yet the same you claimed you were interviewing someone for a job role of 45,000 dollars per annum. A colleague. You are claiming you dashed off a supposed 10 percent of your annual salary to a stranger? Make it make sense.

Ibime, you are from Okrika. What have you done for the Okrika people that we can point to? You can at least point to mine. You've done nothing! If there was any, you'd be the first to brag about it and post a link given the way you've been bragging on Nairaland over the years.

The last screenshot you shared in June was of £256. But you claimed it you dashed off 4 million naira? How does it correspond?

See the problem with lying? While working on your obesity is important, you should also work on your sincerity.

I don't need to respond to this, but let me educate you a bit on finances.

First get it right, the job offer for that accountant was £45k not dollars. That was for a role two levels below mine.

Secondly like I said I have invested around N4m in an accounting mentee over 5 years. That should tell you payments are not in one go but split monthly for living expenses and as and when exam fees are due. I just sent some more last week as mobilisation fees so he can perform in his new job - transportation, new laptop etc.

As for what I do for people in Okrika, don't worry about that. You are not my accountant so I don't have to explain everything to you. However since you are so intrigued, I will give you a little sneak peak. The below is a transfer I made last week so an Okrika owned company could mobilise to deliver on an NLNG contract in Bonny. The difference between me and you is you make a lot of noise about giving your time to the NGO in your hometown, while I am the NGO in mine.

I wont respond to anymore of your inquisitions unless it's pertinent

BlueAngel444:
it's the same Thiago we watched in the last season in EPL abi, continue. D

Thiago was injured for most of the season na. His return coincided with their resurgence.

DissTroy:
It's like your Eurosoccer fattest man buddy claiming he spent over 4 million naira for an unmentioned Nairalander on June 2 this year only to reveal two days ago to Benalvino that he drives second-hand cars.

You claim to give give away 4 million naira to strangers but drive second grade cars? Aren't you supposed to be a billionaire like you always claim you are? 4 million is supposed to be peanuts, right?

That's the problem. with mouthing off - you contradict yourself overtime.

l know you are obsessed with me gee. Keep drawing any conclusion you want. Only someone obsessed with keeping up appearances like you will be watching everything they say to see whether it correlates. The truth needs no memory. I know exactly the information I give out on Nairaland and it is exactly what it is - the truth.

Yes I drive second hand cars. That's why I defended Benalvinos choice because it is also my choice. And yes, I have sponsored a Nairalander to the tune of N4m naira on a training project that has been running since 2016. Guess what, he has just established himself as an auditor and in no time will be able to feed you handsomely. I am sure this is also an edited Watsapp.

And don't worry about doxxing, revealing lies or whatever it is you do. I know you are obsessed with people doing better than you hence you keep ranting about Siena and whatnot who probably didn't even know of your existence. That is your own envy and psychosis . I am not hustling for money online like you but anyone who wants to get to know me offline can get to do so. It took you a full month to tell me my first name despite giving it freely to Nairalanders and even exchanging emails with you under it. Even my personal pics have been in my profile throughout my stay on Nairaland. Feel free to click on it, spin it however you want. Maybe I will even help you with more of my various trips around the world since you see it as boasting. Make it pepper you more. As for anything else along this psychotic line of yours, I will keep that to my chest. Like I told you ab initio, real gees play the background.

Tdotbluejays1:
Actually, I belong to a WhatsApp group of Nigerian engineers in Canada. It started off this same Nairaland. Those that know me are lots on here

Did any of them first stop to ask you if it's in Canadian dollars or US dollars?

Why would anyone see 100k, 120k CAD or 140 CAD as a boast. Even $100k is not a boast, it is to be expected from a decent mid-career professional. You may even just have been speaking about payrates in your industry without trying to oppress anyone.

As I said, out of the abundance of poverty, the heart speaketh. Just like I can't imagine anyone flying private jet, people in poverty can never imagine you earning $100k whether US or CAD.

PrideofLincoln2:
This brainstem is on it again about a young black lady that was disqualified because she tested positive for weed and thus cancelling her participation in the Tokyo Olympics. What a piece of human trash this Port Harcourt born idiot is. What's the sense of this if not to denigrate a young lady that's better than what he will ever be in that jungle he resides.

I think he's saying he doesn't agree with her suspension just for smoking Marijuana.

Well Ben, the rules are the rules. I know Trumpanzees react to emotions and outrage rather than follow the rules. She did the crime, she must do the time. That's what keeps societies working, not like Trumpanzees that refuse to accept results and standard ways of operating in civil society.

benalvino2:
Lmao. Me am just looking forward to all the election debacle that will continue to show up.

Mind you they said they will ask for recount only if the margin of victory is less than that 176,000 number as the test ballots could have skewed the results. That's how politicians accept results unlike Orubebe Trump that will lose a state by over 100,000 votes and be crying foul

benalvino2:
Ibime, basilico

That's because the organisers admitted that 176,000 test ballots have been erroneously included with the real ballots.

I know reasoning is beyond Trumpanzee cockroaches

Greatihex:
We have had this argument many times. Mourinho has never shown anywhere to be a man to play politics with his team. Mourinho was benching 89m Pogba that he signed personally with an academy mctominay. So, saying that Mourinho was playing politics with his team is not true. If he wanted to play politics he wouldn't have requested for KDB to come back from loan.

Also, I'm not sure Willian has been signed when Mourinho started benching KDB with Schurrle. Schurrle was the first person that started benching kdb before Willian even came to the picture because Schurrle proved not be consistent.

Mourinho is only concerned about who follows his instructions to the latter. Mourinho played KDB on the right flank, so he had no business with Oscar that was playing 10, who was giving Mourinho what he wanted because he was a hustler and energetic just like Mount today. (In fact, Mount is just a more consistent Oscar.)

I strongly suspect that why Mourinho started benching KDB is because he was not tracking back to defend as he would want which has always been his problem with attackers. That was the same reason he sent mata away. The same reason he gave when he benched hazard in that his last season with us. It has always been about defensive contribution. Mourinho no get time for politics. He would rather leave your club than for you to tell him who to play.

Mourinho knew KDB's abilities. That was why he asked him to come back from loan. So, he wanted him to learn to play his way and do what he wants from him by showing him his usual tough love, something he did to RLC that he brought fully into the first team. But KDB wanted to play no matter what and didn't want to fight for his place in a club like Chelsea.

The conclusion is, one, KDB improved from his raw self at Chelsea. Two, nobody chased him out of Chelsea. He simply wanted to play more, which is good, but that can't come on a platter in a club like Chelsea. You can ask Havertz, Chilwell, Ziyech, Pulisic, Rudiger, Kovacic, Kante, etc.
You can imagine where Kante was playing bench at a point under Sarri.

You forgot Schurrle is also a defensive player so again, that was due to midfield instability.

Mourinho absolutely played politics with Oscar and Mata. You forgot Mata was very popular and Chelsea POTY and the only political argument Mourinho had for dropping Mata is that he prefers Brazil no10. Chelsea fans and press everywhere were having HBP with the treatment of Mata even on this thread, but Mourinho had already made up his.mind before taking the job that Mata is too weak to play for him and he devised a plan to force him out using Oscar. You don't know how press were hounding Mourinho daily for dropping Mata, check his various arguments with Jamie Redknapp. He needed a big name to displace Mata and Brazil's no10 was the good fit. He couldn't try that with KDB who nobody knows.

And Mourinho is the biggest political player. Infact I don't even think he coaches no more, all he does is play politics, putting players against each other. You will recall he called KDB into a meeting and was comparing KDB assists and goals with Willian and Oscar, that's where KDB told him how can you compare someone who has played only 3 games with people who have played the whole season. If that's not politics, what is it?

BlueAngel444:
did Allan play DM after Jorginho left?

How did Jorginho leaving work out for Napoli?

They still finished second. More importantly, Higuain had also left.

BlueAngel444:
pep changed his style of play, but Sarri was new using what he knew that brought Napoli close to serie A title with Jorginho at the heartbeat of it

The only thing that brought Napoli close to Serie A was Higuain and Meertens breaking Serie A goalscoring records, not Jorginho making hundred passes without end product.

Maybe if you keep Higuain and Meertens scoring you 70 goals per season between them, with Insigne also contributing, remove Jorginho for an AM and drop Allan to DM, perhaps they would have won the league.

Jamie90:
Tuchel is playing a system dynamic enough to accommodate the players at his disposal. No be Lampard wey dey open en players nyash with en formation. Ceasar can't play full back effectively like he used to so the coach used him as a right CB. Rudiger too dey lose focus but the current formation made him better, players like Kovacic no dey even know when danger dey, so playing him in a 3 man Midfield is suicidal... When Mount been dey go drag wing with Pulisic come leave him on wing, Havertz too dey find goal... E go come remain only Jorginho wey no fast... Wetin you expect? ..

Na Lampard mistake influence Tuchel ingenuity. He did well in the league, he only dropped some points during the end of the season mostly due to fatigue

I don't disagree with you about Tuchel protecting his players cos many of them are not robust so they need special set-up to protect them. This includes Rudiger, Alonso, Azpi and Jorginho as you rightly mentioned. Kudos to Tuchel for that, but such system is not consistent to win you the league week in, week out. It can prosecute individual games only. Tuchel 19 games record would finish him on 76 points or so if extrapolated to a full season, that's why we need to move away from these specialist players.

You say it was not parking the bus yet said this:

Jamie90:
Tuchel game is all about denying opponents spaces while dominating play..

When you deny opponents space in your own half, that's parking the bus.

The only difference is that Jorginho and defenders pass the ball amongst themselves for long period to kill time, but you are still parking the bus essentially to protect Jorginho with 7 defensive players. The only difference is you are not booting the ball upfield.

A midfield controller is something like how Thiago dominated for Bayern in UCL last year, how Gundogan controls for Man City, how Xavi and co did it, taking their team up the pitch to dominate in the opponents half. Jorginho is the only midfield controller that force his team to park the bus. And whenever we meet any midtable to top table team, you don't see Jorginho making 100 passes, you see him struggling, getting dominated and trying to make up with tackling. I am not talking when he faces Man City. Even common Aston Villa and Leicester turned him from a controller to an average midfielder. Cast your mind back to those games.

Kilishihunter:
May God hep uss
Btw Oga ibime in Italy vs Spain, Jorginho vs Busquets, Who will you support?

Azpilicueta

Jamie90:
Tuchel game is all about denying opponents spaces while dominating play.. who go look this current Chelsea side talk say dem dey play defensive football. Did they park bus against Madrid? Man City? Liverpool? Other smaller teams na passes Chelsea dey use reduce their battery

That was defensive football my friend.

How many points did Tuchel gain in 19 EPL games.

Extrapolate it to 38 games and tell me where that gets you

What you see Tuchel playing at Chelsea is system to protect Jorginho. Tell me what systems he played at PSG and Dortmund

inFamouz:
Fred or Jorginho?

Hojberg

Jamie90:
Wetin this one dey talk, when was the last time Chelsea was parked bus... Chelsea wey dey dominate week in week out

For your mind abi?

Go and tell that to the birds.

benalvino2:
I hated his taste for war before trump ever ran and this was during his debate with Obama.

He an Obama destroyed syria

Fair enough

benalvino2:
McCain is disgusting, trump on the other hand not perfect but a nice guy

McCain is disgusting because your cult leader said so.

McCain a war hero who was captured, imprisoned and tortured for years in Vietnam vs a tax dodging Captain bonespurs who not only cheats his country out of Military service, but also it's taxes

The cult is deep.

BlueAngel444:
Sarri ball

A trophyless style that got us hammered 4-0 by Bournemouth and 6-0 by City

Dost42:
I get your point but we cant focus on one person and leave the other..we all want our team to get better.but for us to have control in games jorginho is present

Yet Jorginho does not control games for Chelsea

Chelsea park 7 defensive players to protect Jorginho.

Which leads me to ask, which midfield controller forces his team to play defensive football?
