He is a deep lying playmaker and less of a DM. He is as much to blame as the rest of his teammates. For all his bad moments, he has also had many more brilliant moments as evidenced by his longevity, trophyhaul and recognition as the best in his position.

Today is a very terrible day for the entire team.

His best days were always when others were carrying him. He is not a deep lying playmaker, just a good passer. A deep lying playmaker has long range vision. Passing to the next man is not playmaking, therefore he will be judged on his defensive abilities.

donjazet:
Baba calm down, the entire Barça team is discombobulated
you no see as them cage even Messi. No need to single out any particular player.

How many times will a World Class DM be chopping ridiculous scorelines from Bayern in 2013 to PSG to Roma to Liverpool to Bayern. We can even go to Holland game in the World Cup.

The DM is the barometer of the defence and should be the calming influence to lock up in difficult situations but he is always nowhere to be seen, escorting somewhere.

Busquets should never be spoken about as a World Class DM on Nairaland again.

dis dia high line against fraudiola go backfire o

Is Fraudiola defence capable of handling Bayern?

Player for player, City will struggle

Muller is Bayerns answer to KDB which is City's biggest threat.

Gnabry is Bayerns answer to Sterling

City answer to Thiago is Gundogan which is fair enough but not equivalent

City have no answer to Lewandowski

They have no answer to the whole Bayern defence except Walker and Laporte

Hazardfan1:
Neymar is far, small boy Gnabry is actually better than Hazard.....

Hazard is such a disappointment.

Look at what these guys are doing to Barca, dem no flog us early like ds sef.

I can't believe it. Pesin wey curse my life that year because of Hazard

Ibime:
Bayern will stop City easily but not Barca

That's why I'm supporting Bayern tonight

Bayern are cooking. That's why I want them to go through so Fraudiola go hear am.

Our 4-1 result against Bayern is now looking respectable.

SMH. Bayern defence is too open

Alaba done turn to Boathand.

O boy, this game is hot.

Tor!

Raumdeuuuuuuuuuuuteeeer!!!

Made4naijaceo:
If the vibe finish we go still go back to our Wizkid and Davido

Because you like brainless and talentless music

BlueMann:
Griezmann on tha bench.

Barca are blocking the midfield completely. Which kain midfield be this? Busquets, DeJong, Vidal and Sergio Roberto in the same midfield?

weedtaker:
funny enough I think the only team that can stop city is PSG. I see City winning the CL.

Bayern will stop City easily but not Barca

That's why I'm supporting Bayern tonight

CAPdan21:
Fully expect barca to win tomorrow..it's in fashion these days to underrate barca bcus of their performance in d CL in d last 3 yrs but they have enough power to stop Bayern...And they have "messi"..boateng and neuer don't need to be told twice what he is capable of at full flow..this one leg format helps them massively

Bayern is the better team but you can never bet against a win for Barca based on Messi alone.

Just like the Argentina team of the late 80s and early 90s were inferior to opponents in many ways but when you have a Maradona, he can change the story.

Amoto94:
Bayern or City will stop if they manage to get past PSG that's coached by a German versed in Liepzig style of play in Thomas Tuchel, PSG have the firepower to edge past Liepzig too.

Leipzig are a superior version of Atalanta so I will not write them off against PSG. With some luck, they have a chance. Another thing that opens up possibilities is the fact that these are one-legged ties. Smaller teams often get overawed and nervous in the away leg, but in a single match, you can plan appropriately and take your chances. Conversely, bigger teams also get more nervous in one legged games than two legs where they have confidence they will prevail sooner or later. Especially if the smaller team scores first, bigger teams anxiousness will increase in a single match

In a roundabout way, the one legged tie may also be advantageous for PSG as they have a habit of crumbling away from home in a two legged tie, and don't have to worry about that scenario anymore.

Bville02:
If they win, he'd get a medal and that's quite alright.

But he should have been a little bit patient since Leipzig is still in the Champions League.

Actually he will be trailed by mockery

Winning UCL is hard enough to do once in your career. Winning with an underdog like Leipzig makes you a legend forever..

Believe me, he will not forgive himself easily for jumping ship so early if that happens

madrid5:
all this won't be necessary when neymar chases Leipzig out of champions league

Reason I said any team can win except Lyon is because of what Leipzig did to Spurs, although I wasn't sure how they would react without Werner.

Leipzig can go toe to toe with any team in the competition except Bayern. If they are lucky not to meet Bayern in the final, they have a chance

BlueAngel444:
you mean like how Coutinho must have felt

Coutinho left 18 months before Liverpools UCL win

Neobulletzz:
Lol what do you mean
If they win it, he is getting a medal

He will never be regarded as a winner.

Do you regard Anelka and Alex as winners in our UCL 2012 triumph?

Winning UCL can be a once in a lifetime experience and if they win, he will wonder why he missed his chance to write his name in history.

Bville02:
A very big if I know but IF Leipzig win the Champions League, will Werner get a winner's medal?

He will be weeping and gnashing his teeth.

I hope for the sake of his emotional stability that they don't.

Come on Leipzig!

The way this Trippier done lose weight shows that Simeone trains his players like dogs. . .

nihilistjnr:
Walahi, we suppose dey rush that guy.

Hate to say it but he is bigger than Chelsea right now. At his age, it is not time for experiments but clubs that can conceivably win the Champions League in the next 2-3 years before age starts to catch up with him.

This was the Xavi replacement until they stüpidly went for the Fabregas experiment.

Na only injury make that guy name no dey ring since.

raumdeuter:
VP picks are made to balance a deficiency a candidate has among certain electorates. Kamalas traits are that she is black, immigrant descendant she is female and from a deep blue state. All these are not lacking for Joe Biden with or without Kamala. Joe is strong with blacks, strong with immigrants, Strong with women and in blue states

Trump picked Pence to appeal to the born again evangelicals who dominate the south. Traditional evangelicals have a problem with Trump whose lifestyle of debauchery and never going to really get behind him then he picked Pence who is a Pastor who has extreme isviews and believes Gay should be given electric shock therapy, A man should never go to bar unless his wife is there with him, Basically an American Deeperlife person

That added something to the Trump ticket

Obama a first term Senator who lacked experience added Biden to his ticket who brought experience and allayed the fears of those who felt he is too young and too radical. Biden brought experience and centrists

McCain was an old white guy and added Palin a young white woman who added female appeal to his ticket for a party that is reputed to be anti women in some of their policies, So Palin added something McCain did not have

Bush added McCain for experience to his ticket like Obama did with Biden

So the question again is what has Kamala added to Biden that he did not have before? What demographics or what numbers will Kamala sway that Biden did not have a majority of their votes already? Is it blacks, Is it immigrants, or is it women or is it California her home state

Post George Floyd, No black will sit out for Biden, Actually blacks were the ones who galvanized him to the ticket and if any demographic is sure for Biden its black. Biden actually said You ain't black if you are still undecided on who to choose beween him and Trump

As at June a poll has it that 92% of blacks already support Biden,
https://www.newsweek.com/92-percent-black-americans-support-biden-over-trump-poll-says-1513367
Kamala is not the only black woman available, There is Stacy Adams and Val Demmings even Susan Rice who can be more strategic than Kamala Harris

Hilary picked Tim Kaine, Before 2016. These was how Virginia elections have gone

2000 Bush 52%, Gore 44% Republicans win by 8% points
2004 Bush 53% Kerry 45% Republicans win by 8% points
2008 McCain 46% Obama 52% Dems win by 6% points
2012 Romney 47% Obama 51% Dems win by 4% points

So you think going into 2016 a state that has gone to Republicans twice, Dems twice in the last 4 elections with the last one being by 4% points is what you call a solid Democrat state?

I don't think Trump supporters will vote any Blue Dog Democrat.

This election is about maximising your base rather than appealing to neutrals because nobody is neutral about Trump.

You just need to get the black and women's vote out that might make the difference.

Skimpledawg:
Thaigo going for 30m?

Man City better not sign that guy. Him and DeBruyne in midfield will be unplayable

RB Leipzig all the way

PDPGuy:
This PSG team is too fragile trouble Atletico (who will beat Leipzig).
My money is still on City or Bayern to win it all

Anybody can win from herein except Lyon. Bayern are my favourites though.

Milan are taking the piss with their non-obligatory loan offer for Bakayoko. Since PSG were interested in Bakayoko earlier this summer, Chelsea should off a straight swap with Arreola. Arreola bought a house in London 9 months ago and lives in London in the off season.

Pasalic scores again. Chelsea done him wrong.

Griffon:
70minutes? That's pretty laughable

We've shortlisted too many players, make dem begin trim the list down, identify key targets and do business ASAP.

It's a short break for players, let's not find ourselves at the receiving end of late assemblage of new faces. See as Liverpool low key grab that left-back, no media noise.

That Tsimikas guy dey hustle and very fast. See the way he quieted Traore the other day.

BlueMann:
Willian as a CAM. Wow, that would be nice to see.
I didn't even know he played in that position. I used to feel he was better off at LW.

Nah, he was always a CAM at Shakhtar. That winger stuff started in Chelsea. His best performance for Chelsea against Barca was at CAM

Willian to play CAM for Arsenal. He will do well there. That was always his position but Chelsea underutilised him by putting him on the wings. He is not a fluid movement winger, rather has the stop-start dribbling style of a CAM

Griffon:
I be wan ask sef. How did he fare?

I can't tell to be honest because Wolves no touch ball for like 70 mins. Sevilla just slowly drained the life out of them so he didn't come under much pressure.

Anyway, I'm hearing he's interested in Napoli not Chelsea and the Chelsea thing is just a ploy by his agent to increase his wages with Napoli.

I wish we had bought that Olympiakos leftback so we can move on to other targets.
