Now why won't this woman, taylor greene be expelled from congress? If she does not leave congress before end of 2021, i would never have interest in politics again. I don't understand why people don't think politics are not affecting lives, literally. This is disgusting and looks criminal..

The Senate will convict trump. There's a growing amount of evidence showing this was a conspiracy. Just watch.
Not after they've ruled it unconstitutional. Unless you know something we don't.

Meanwhile time to test Raumdeuter's conclusion. Given the opportunity to finally rid Trump of the political grip he has over the GOP, by ensuring he cannot run for office again, only 5 GOP senators openly show up. The others chicken out under the guise of some useless technicality.

The 11 Senators required for conviction is looking grim; which will all but entrench Trump as the GOP kingmaker.

This is why I was saying that I don't see this changing, unless he is locked up.

But let's see how this unfolds.
Dayo has just been fooling himself.

His party is Trumps bïtch.

@ Ibime on a serious note, We played 3-4-3 with Two No.10s ( Kai and Ziyech).

U could easily have missed it if u weren't paying attention

Or maybe all your attention was on Fraudvertz...lol
What is the argument about? Did I argue that we didn't play 3-4-3?

Maybe the guy might function well as an SS. The guy seems to like playing 1-2 with the infield player. Several times I saw him play the ball back and make a run on the blindside of the last defender. The only problem is, he isn't mobile enough to make the run count and Chiwell was poor with the through balls.
You need strength to play as striker. That guy does not belong anywhere. He is a false nine, racking miserly goal returns while playing as a defacto striker from midfield.

#Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was prepared to pay £62M for Kai Havertz because he could not stomach the thought of the talented midfielder going on to become a world star elsewhere.

Another Torres. Roman pet.

Fun Fact - Both Ziyech and Kai played as a 10 but all the negative comments is directed at Kai despite having a better performance.

The question is, how long can they sustain the intensity of this press? Quarter season? Half season? Full season?

Did TT experiment with 3-4-3 or has the formation come to stay? TT is known as a 4-3-3 coach right from his Mainz days. I don't understand the 3 at the back today.

Only time will tell. Let's watch and see.
The 3-4-3 is due to lack of a reliable DM. 3-4-3 provides more protection if you're not sure of your DM.

I like the fact he did that, it shows flexibility. Something Lampard did last season but refused to do this season when things weren't going well.

One funny thing about this match is the “running around “ and “activity forming “ that has been used to critique Mount is exactly what Havertz did all day cheesy

I have said it severally here that Lampard did not sign that boy.

The fact his place in this match is guaranteed despite being our worst attacking player shows the mandate is from on high

Pulisic for Havertz please.

No way Havertz gets in ahead of Pulisic in a front 3.

The nigga is just passing ball backward. Let Puli take some players on.

I was just about saying that me thinks Kovacic might end up being a fixture in TT's side. He's the closest to a Verratti in playing style.

This season has been really testing for managers who often play the long game,one just has to adapt to this season,seems like its the season for casuals, I notice they are doing really well..was around 4m OR as at gw 16,but have moved up to 800k,right now is where the seasoned players would be separated from the rest,like ibime would always say,its a marathon not sprint..
Soucek has done me dirty again..he's on my bench,well we move...

The 2nd half of the season. Is on
That's why rookies like Dayo who got lucky with Son and Kane in the first weeks are now drilling for oil

9 clean sheets in Man City last 11 league games. Who is the the DM helping Rodri in their last 11 league matches and how many Dms started against Chelsea at Stamford bridge when Pep Flogged you?
One swallow doesn't make a summer. Rodri struggled all of last season and start of this. You just waited till Man City is in good form to hail him. Gundogan has been helping him in DM till recently, something Fernandinho did on his own on the way to 100 points and 98 points. Few games of system working well does not make him a solid DM. Even Busquets who system worked for him for years still has escort tag on him. Na here we dey

Man City 9 clean sheets in their last 11 league games. As expected we won't hear how Rodri is an escort until the next time City loses then the agenda will arise again.
Pep had to play 2 DMs to help Rodri.

Escort is still an escort. Evidence below:

I have a question guys.
How does the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Harry Redknapp, Guus Hiddink, Vicente Del Bosque, Jupp Hyckenes, Marcelo Bielsa, Carlo Ancelotti & to an extent Diego Someone & Jurgen Klopp were able to keep their players in check from revolting against them?
How were they able to manage unhappy players causing unrest in the dressing room ?

Is it because they were older /experienced coaches?
Or because they handled their players transfers separately as against what we've been experiencing at Chelsea, where the board meddle in the transfer business?
They had much power in the affairs of their clubs than modern coaches like Guardiola, Mourinho, Conte, Pochettino, Tuchel etc


I could recall when CR7 & David De Gea pushed for moves to Real Madrid but Sir Alex maintained his stance & relegated them to the bench for few matches before recalling them.
It boils down to money. Players are big investments and on high wages now so their power increased. In past days a club can even rip up the player contract if he misbehave or send him to the reserves and don't mind if his value drops because it's not a lot of money to lose

jumia has been the saving grace and safe haven for most people like me that doesn't have the effontery to meander my way through the exorbitant prices of offline stores..

Jumia is to me(Nigeria) what Amazon is to America and what AliExpress is to China..

Know this and know peace cool
I have no doubt they provide you a good service but their pathway to profitability is zero as they do so at great cost (Africa not being developed infrastucturally to deliver at low cost) and they are exposed to massive foreign exchange risks which means by the time they hold anything in inventory, they have already lost profits from movements against the dollar before they sell). Their year on year profits are in steady decline, all their fundamentals show regression rather than improvement, and I don't see how they turn it around within any reasonable timeframe for investors. It has just become a speculation stock as they are riding the wave of sentiment that keeps pushing their price up. I think they are benefitting from the tailwinds of Mercadolibre who are the Amazon of Latin America. MELI price keeps going up, and the Oyinbo investors looking for a similar bet in Africa keep driving JUMIA price up despite the company regressing badly.

Emotions Aside; This was the right decision.

Lampard's tactical cluelessness didnt do him any solid. That team was lacking the basics; This was far bigger than the Germans and all the petty talks about Kepa and Rudiger ( @ Ibime for a finance guy, I do find you at times bathetic, This is a results based business cool ) and all that gibberish about politics is present in every big club - Lamps is certainly not new to it, He played for 13 years here. He was part of the politics at the club

Why is no one talking about the consistent poor results? What about the regression of players. Was there any glimmer of hope. See quote below in the sack statement

"However, recent results and performances have not met the Club’s expectations, leaving the Club mid-table without any clear path to sustained improvement."

The above was by far the biggest dagger and says a whole lot about it needing to be done

We'll always treasure Frank the Player, but as a manager, he'll be needing a lot of improvement
That is rubbish. The consistent poor results is only the last month and the club is within touching distance (5 points) of the top4. This is not about players regressing or bla bla bla but the fact those with tactical insight understand is that this is no better team than last year's team except the defence and goalkeeper despite the millions spent. The money spent in the midfield and forward positions is money-miss-road and actually destabilising to the teams ability to get results. There is not a single area in which Havertz improves the team over Barkley, infact he regresses the team several step backwards, likewise common Giroud is better than Werner in the expectations required from a striker.

So nothing to do with results but simply to do with failure to justify the expense on the German frauds. Klopp results have been bad at Liverpool for almost the same length of time, which is one month.
