Another disaster performance by Eden and one clown was busy talking garbage that he will show us at the el clasico. Lol

Those teams should keep confusing themselves until we enter 1st position

LaMujer:
Yen, yen, yen. What happened to Wague?
Or isn't he the second choice RB?

Abi what's the meaning of second choice?

Wague will play, we are just in September and there are still 8 months of football

simiife:
I've always believed he wasn't our problem, dude was Iniesta replacement and nt Neymay, flashback to two seasons ago,wen we lost our unbeaten run to levante,if I can remember well,coutinho played from d middle in dat match and guess what,he scored an hatrick,coutinho is nt a winger

Unfortunately we don't play the formation that allows Coutinho thrive, at Brazil he plays with Arthur and Fernandinho/Casemiro behind him while at Bayern he plays with Kimmich and Alcantara behind then he needs pacey players flanking him. In Barca we don't even play 4 2 3 1 and even if we did Messi is our main man not Coutinho, and so as long as Messi plays Coutinho can't play well cos Messi will create while Coutinho has to focus more on finishing which doesn't seat well with him. I just pray he continues thriving but I think Bayern have just couped the best possible player this season. Let him continue thriving that's how someone on this thread called him a flop oh well people sha

simiife:
Dis isn't abt his assist, we all knw Liverpool would have gotten a goal atleast in camp nou if nt 4 his saves,if barca had gone on to win d UCL,he would have won best goalkeeper on Monday

That's true, well you have a valid point.


Guess who was Man of the match AGAIN in Bayern vs Paderborn, yes you are correct, COUTINHO!!

Wayne4uall:
Our match against inter will b Interesting but we are going to win dem wit or without Messi.. Ansu to score

I hope so, a win will be so good to boost team morale... If Ansu is fit let him play but I'd like Griezman to score sha

LaMujer:
Na Valverde you trust like this?


The same man that started a MF as a RB despite having 2 RBs on the bench?



Lol

Dude chill Semedo has started more matches this season at RB than Roberto this is the first match sef that Roberto is starting at RB, Semedo played Copa Del Rey, the loss to Granada, the draw with Dortmund, the win over Valencia and even the draw with Osasuna... Dude we are shot on defenders

A clean sheet, Suárez scores and finally an Away win, J. Firpo with his first goal + we are 2nd on the table... To UCL against an inform Inter Milan side

Wayne4uall:
Tobido in for Perez

My brother its Todibo

simiife:
D guy is good,he is one of d reason liverpool didn't score in camp nou,d defense let him down in d second, he has been d best goal keeper going into d second leg against Liverpool

Calm down, he is not the first goalkeeper to have an assist in a match!! One assist and you have started hyping chill.

biomustry:
MATS, pique, longlegs, Roberto, firpo, dj, busi, arthur, perez, grizzy suarez

And the main problem is again Suarez... Well we don't even have another striker sef Chai!!

Wayne4uall:
Predicted starting XI (4-3-3):

Ter Stegen; Roberto, Piqué, Todibo, Firpo; De Jong, Busquets, Vidal; Dembélé, Suárez, Griezmann

Let's wait for a miracle

Todibo will not start, Vidal and Dembele may not also start. This season is turning into a fiasco, injuries are not even helping matters

I am always turned off whenever I am watching a movie and I see a woman beating 2 or more men at thesame time in physical combat.Before anyone labels me as sexist I am a fan of Ripley in the Alien movies and Sarah Connor in T2

It's really annoying and some of the worst movies I've seen this year had women as lead, Dark Phoenix, Capt Marvel

Seven Deadly Sins, season 3 finally!!!

Those guys shouting over Aizen and Madara, just compare characters to their universes. If you cross universes you now complicate things for yourself.

NoFap123:
I still can't believe we are debating Okocha's legendary status. I can't can.

Only you and losprince have been throwing the word "legend" up and down, I haven't. Tell me the major trophies Okocha has won that someone like Mikel hasn't won... Or Okocha's contribution to the history of Nigerian football or African football!! I've said it already Okocha was talented, but he made too many wrong career choices like Robinho, both were talented but their talent never took them to the pinnacle they should have.
.
Mikel, Kanu and Finidi George all have won UCL, their domestic league titles and African Nations' Cup. Keshi won Nations' Cup as a player and as a coach, Daniel Amokachi won Nations Cup as a player and led the Golden Eaglets to u17 world cup triumph(with seemingly over age players but who can prove that?) Now tell me what Okocha has done? You have been using the word legend, one doesn't become a legend in a vacuum, you do something to become a legend, what did Okocha do in your opinion that makes you feel he is a legend??

funkyjms:
Quite funny to appeal a fine of £300 but I love the fact that our board want to.

Not appealing is the acceptance of the punishment and the accepting the punishment is proof of guilt. So appealing the punishment, we are simply saying we are not guilty

Please who saw the launching of Redmi 8a, what processor is on it? And did it remain with the 5kmah that Tenaa released?

When it will be launched.

NoFap123:
If J.J isn't a legend, it means the word legend has changed meaning.

NoFap123:
He won Afcon which is the highest trophy in the continent.
Were you expecting him to win the world cup?

To avoid further confusion, in your opinion do you think that Okocha contributed as much to the history of Nigerian football as players as Yekini, Mikel, Kanu, Keshi or even Finidi George? Even Daniel Amokachi has contributed more to Nigerian football's history than Okocha. Okocha was a great player I don't doubt it. But players a bound that have gone on to win more trophies, had more appearances, scored more goals etc. He won AFCON yes, even Sunday Mbah won AFCON and has disappeared into thin air

losprince:
You like to make ludicrous statements without consulting with facts.

Even if we were to be generous to your cockblockery and assume the JJ didn't win a trophy, he would still be a Nigerian football legend.

What is ludicrous in what I said? Okocha was a great player. But did he win half as much trophies as someone like Mikel or Kanu? Do you think Okocha is a bigger legend than Stephen Keshi of blessed memory? Dude present your facts not sentiment. And if you can't argue without insults well I am done with you

simiife:
Pep is not valverde's mate,I pray sometin drastic happens, d team isn't motivated at all,d loss at anfield still fresh in dia mind,I tot messi winin d FIFA best might boost dia moral,but I was not impressed with yesterday performance,besides its an home game,let c wat dey will do away

That's true, see Man city's response to the Norwich loss, they won their UCL match and destroyed Watford. That match against Watford even till 90 mins Man City were still attacking with vengeance, De Bruyne was carrying his hand on his head for missing a chance at 8 - 0 by 90 mins. Our team can't even play well how much more beating another team. Its sad. There are way too many people to blame for this, the players, the coach and his team and the board too

wman:
Ha!

Guy you fall my hand. After I don rush defend you.

Lol thank you. In light of trophies won that's what I mean. Okocha was mesmerizing when he played however he didn't win trophies a player of his talent and gifts ought to have won. Heck there has been no Nigerian player as dazzling as Okocha unfortunately for him there are many Nigerian players with more trophies

Unlimited22:
Okocha is not a legend of Nigerian football?
Nigga, are you crazy?

What did he do to be a legend? Even people like Mikel will stand on a higher pedestal than Okocha. Okocha was talented what else?

simiife:
Na dat Dortmund match vex me pass,as if tiki taka forbid them from shooting, too much passes without end product

The problem is Valverde is getting more clueless, we have possession but we don't know what to with ball to create chances, Suarez should be coming from bench, even Carles Perez offers more of a threat than Suarez these days. Look at Man city, once De Bruyne is with the ball at the angle of the 18 yard box by the right, two players at Man city left will start making runs at the back post awaiting De Bruyne's pass, that's B. Silva scored his first goal on Saturday and that's how Sterling and Sane have been pumping in goals from the left of Man city's attack off De Bruyne's pass. If from the left the same kind of pass but by D. Silva. And then Mendy's etc. But our team sometimes they are on most times they are off. I don't even know who to blame again, the players or the coach... We can't win UCL like this o

Adiwana:
Loyalty is no more in football today due to a lot of factors like high inflation of transfer market, general evolution of the game, more media involvement,player marketability,etc

Players are now cashing in on all this factors, so they tend to now play for the highest bidder.Before it was the elite of players that had all this but look at what we have now

As for your assertion that scholes is more reverted than Totti because of trophies is simply not true. OKOCHA is regarded as one of the greatest to ever play the game, how many trophies did he have under his belt. Maxwell has more trophies than Roberto Carlos, will you say he was more of a better player than him or think that the football world considers Maxwell ahead of Roberto just because he has more trophies?? Trophies are good, but is not really a bench mark of a players individuality

Roberto Carlos still won trophies, he won Champions League, World Cup and other trophies cementing his name as one of the greatest left backs ever. Someone like Okocha was talented but he is not a legend of Nigerian football like Kanu Nwankwo. Even in Africa the greatest players like Eto, Drogba, Liberia's president, Abedi Pele, Roger Milla, Aboutrika and others all had trophies to their names.
Messi is one of the few one club players left, and he is legend of Barcelona, La Liga, European football and World football because he has won tons of trophies while Barca has made sure he has never had the desire to go to any other club. In Football you can't be legend without trophies or goals. All EPL legends had trophies, Terry and Lampard, Gerrard, Vidic, Henry, Shearer etc.

simiife:
Dis is d problem i have with our team,dey will b in a shooting position but dey will prefer to pass,as if d opposing team is playing with kids dat will just allow dem pass all d way and score, was surprised he opted to shoot instead, was waiting for him to pass d ball again

The passing is becoming too much, even in video games if you pass too much you don't score. You shoot to score not passing... But this team I don't know if its cos of fear or confusion nobody is shooting... That match we lost in La Liga, 40 minutes into the match we didn't have one shot, one ordinary shot we didn't have, how much more shot on target. The more we shoot the more we score. Even deflected shot that goes in na still goal. I wish we shot more. Shot conversion rate doesn't give points wins and goals do

This season we have a different Arthur from last season, an Arthur that shoots, that tries the risky passes not just press resistant (as if that's a complement) but is creative too. For him this season will be awesome.

We have an issue at defense, aside Pique and Lenglet we don't have any other senior centre backs. Umtiti has taken over from Vermaleen as our resident ambulance, Todibo is not reliable, Firpo is not reliable... E go tey before we keep clean sheet.

kodded:
funny how you omit mane from your list

Mane did quite well but last season was his most productive and Salah was even as productive as he was. I think Salah's goals place him on a higher pedestal

LaMujer:
Salah after 2 seasons?
Allison after 1 season?


And you're mentioning innumerable contributions??

Guy, for real?

Trophies are the currency of football, why do think loyalty holds little water in football? A player like Totti was brilliant but players like Scholes are reverted far higher than him why? Trophies... Why do you think fewer and fewer players want to be one club legends? Trophies and the accompanying finance. Liverpool haven't won the league since before I was born, the last major trophy they won was UCL of 2005, since then nothing except meager trophies that some LFC fans pretend don't even exist. Then in comes Salah and in one season destroys tons of goal scoring records and they reach UCL in Salah's first season unfortunately they lose. Then Van Dijk is signed and Allison is signed and boom UCL... Heck tell a goalkeeper better than Allisson in Liverpool since 2005 or a defender better than Van Dijk please don't say Carragher that guy was as reliable as Reina one day awesome the next stupid error leading to goal

kendrick93:
How would you know, did u watch all our games?
Mane was good,same as salah but we've had mane since 2016 and what did we achieve.
Before van djik came in,our defence was a laughing stock...the likes of matip was an average according to lots of you now
you are telling me he is class..
Let me tell u something van djik makes his partners look good, even calamity lovren when fit was playing so well alongside vvd before he got injured.
Same with Joe gomez
I dread when van djik will get injured but we definitely can cope without mane.
Infact if we sold mane today, I can bet we will get an even better replacenent...
No shaking at all.
But Van djik is absolutely irreplaceable for us at this moment

Liverpool's best signings since 2005 till now are
Van Dijk, Allison, Suarez, Salah, Torres, Alonso/Mascherano. I don't think any other signing has contributed to the club what these have in the past 14 years

Neeyee2020:
It's a team's playing style that is entirely defensive, just like "Park the Bus."

Thank you. There is no way any team in this era can adopt that tactic in its totality

Neeyee2020:
Maybe in a time when Catenaccio tactical system is dominant, like it was in the 50s and 60s and in the late 90s as was used by Milan in Seria A, maybe then the spotlight would be on defenders.

Abeg what is Catemaccio tactical system? Or just help me understand it. Thank you
