@illusion2
Y'know the beauty about United? Versatility. Versatility that actually works.
Fergie can decide to play Rooney on the wing, Berba in MF,  Giggs and Owen up front and goals would still flow in. Now that's what we call a plan B. Defenders remain unsure who exactly to mark, who exactly to look out for.
Fergie can still remix his team in 2 more different ways without Rooney being up front and still win games.
Unpredictability.  .  .opponents don't always know what to expect.

Ronaldo's case was a foregone one. . .what gaffer in his right mind wouldn't assign 3 men to one of the world's best players?

Rafa, on the other hand, has got Torres-Gerrard. End of. Nothing else. Worse, everybody knows that. So when teams want to play Liverpool, their main worry is how to stop Torres and Gerrard. Heck, do they even bother with Gerrard? Strong teams just lock Torres down and life becomes smoother.

My point is, there should be some sorta variety in attack, not the same old plan day in, day out. Predictability is never good for any team. Look at Chelsea as well.  .  .that same versatility exists. Their players interchange roles smoothly. You can't just predict where and how exactly they plan to play. They adapt their style as the game proceeds.

Liverpool don't do that. As for the MF issue, does it mean the team will always lose when Javier doesn't play? See why I say y'all lack versatility?

As for Rantin' Rafa, na today? You should know your gaffer better.

You obviously don't watch Liverpool games . . . .ever heard of Kuyt,Benayoun

Today the tactic changed ^{which prob led to our loss} i already analysed our regular style of play here

We play Gerrard behind Torres while Benayoun & Kuyt come in on the wings,for today's game Yossi played deep,Stephen G moved to the left etc. . . .  .so Alex F isn't the only manager that moves 'things around'. . , . .neither is 'versatility' a character of only one team

Do we rely a lot an those 2 (Gerrard & Torres) for our goals. .  .maybe ,but so do other teams rely on their main starts

Can we do better? . . . . .  definitely. . .all teams have room for improvement.

But don't just say. . . .because Torres was marked out . . . Liverpool can't win. . .we won the UCL in 2005,fought MANURE to the wire last season,so we are not some cheap,side. .  .ok?

DENOUNCE ABI NA RENOUNCE ?!

Phony200:
Something is wrong when that is plan A, B, C and D. That's a fact!

how is it Plan A,B,C&?? We shouldn't play with our best players or what? You win some,you lose some . . . thats the fact of life. . .we got beat today. . , . . . . we pick up from here & go back to the drawing board.

How many games did MANURE win last season with a Ronaldo free kick,penalty or header? Does that mean they'll stop playing him??

The manager can get tactics wrong,but you can't assume its all becos of one or two players. . . . .

Cristalz:
It's all Rafa's fault, really. What exactly was the big idea bragging about Torres being in form, Torres going to do this and that? Dude practically laid his game plan on the ground for all to see.
Result: Four - 1,2,3,4 - four men were always on Torres. Made sure he couldn't do a damn thing. I thought they were going to break his legs at some point.
Rafa should start seriously thinking about having a backup plan for the Torres-Gerrard combo. Becoming quite predictable. And he should learn to shut his gob before games too.

Any loss in football can ultimately be traced to the team's manager,however Rafa never 'bragged' about Torres being in form (I stand to be corrected with valid refs) ,after the Hull City game he said,yes El Tor  is on fire,but still had to improve.

Back-up to Torres wasn't the issue in this Fiorentina game ,we simply didn't click today especially in mid-field, the absence of Mascherano certainly had some part in this.

Every team has its joker,. . . . . . . ,  for the past few seasons,the main difference btw MANURE ^{(your team  )} and other EPL teams was Ronaldo ,it was all about Drogba+Lampard with Chelski,Messi-Xavi for Barca. . . .so nothing wrong with Torress-Gerrard. 

Lets face it. . . .we (Liverpool) will qualify from that group ,come what may. . . .Fiorentina have probably gotten as many points as they'll ever get from either us or Lyon.

Quite sad we didn't quite click & certainly not the kind of result you wanna take to Stamford bridge , .but as always:

O jo nige o fe sunkun (E burn am for muscle, e wan cry). Poor Liverpudian don't worry, the gallant Saudi prince rides in gallantly over the horizon to save you from Administration and so a once great English club with proud tradition becomes yet another wealthy Sheikh's plaything.

Dudu,wch club u dey sef? Your wahala don de too much o ! No let me deploy the troops on you o ! O ya waka

IG,walahi,so far you're the only northerner wey de make some sense here, . . . .,but tell me why would someone make the NIGERIAN ARMY motto as 'Victory From Allah',why? ONE NIGERIA !!!

The Army is NIGERIAN Army,not Usman Dan Fodio Brigade or Imperial Army of the Sokoto Caliphate . . . . . . . .

Please help me explain this one?

Like someone said,illiterates(unable to read or write) use currency world over,cos of unique size,colour etc,so why must the contentious 'ajami' or arabic text be on 'ONE NIGERIA's' currency ?!

I await your response

@Abuzola
You are obviosly under demonic attack again. What is all this spamming about?
@moderators
What are you guys doing? You should have banned the nuisance by now.

You took the words out of my mouth

Abu,next time just paste the URL & spare us all these spam. . . . .

Whats your opinion on the topic tho' ?

muhsin:
You yourself have already stated your opinion on which is "better" by describing Islam as ruthless and decisive:

Im only quoting the fictional character my friend. Men would prefer to be labelled decisive & probably ruthless business managers than nice ,I think !

And Mr Go-Slow gets even slower. . . .  .

When most Nigerians expected,a change in gear & some acceleration towards pulling a potentially great country out of the doldrums, Mr Yar'Adull says all is well for now:


I weep for Nigeria:

Thisday
Presidency: No Plan to Reshuffle Cabinet Now
From George Oji in Abuja, 09.29.2009

President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua has no plan to embark on cabinet reshuffle at this point in time, his spokesman, Mr. Olusegun Adeniyi, has said.
There have been speculations of an imminent cabinet reshuffle. It was reported that between five and seven ministers may be dropped in the cabinet change.
A report in a newspaper had indicated that some of the affected ministers are allegedly being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and State Security Service (SSS).
But Presidential spokesman Adeniyi dispelled the rumour last night.
He said there is no plan by the President to either remove or replace any minister at this point in time.
Adeniyi, in a terse statement, expressed worry over the source of the rumour, describing such speculations as distractive to governance.
He said: “I don’t know where the speculations about cabinet reshuffle are coming from, but let me state for the avoidance of any doubt that there is no plan by the President to remove or replace any minister at this point in time.”
According to him, “The daily speculations in some newspapers have become a needless distraction as the public is being made to believe a lie.”
Speculations about impending cabinet reshuffle by the President have been making the rounds in some newspapers and elsewhere in the past two weeks.
The President is alleged to be uncomfortable with the performance of some of the ministers, thus fuelling rumours that he would announce a cabinet change on October 1, 2009, to coincide with the country’s independence day.
The rumour has been so rife that some of the ministers who are not sure of making the list again were reported to be demoralised thus making them to be hesitant about taking certain actions in their ministries.

I don't think you guys have ever been to the north b4, the two writtens on the notes are English and transiliteration and sinserely most northerners do not understand them.A lot of them can not read Engkish and can read Arabic.
I think re printing arabic on those note will go a long way in communicating to them. so stop been sentimental about this issue, the notes will be cheaper, saves money for the economy and less rough handle by nigerians and if reprinted in Arabic will communicate to all

Doesn't make sense this is 2009,most people should be able to read & write in latin(not English) characters. . . . . . . . .  , 

[center]I was just shocked to read that the motto of the NIGERIAN ARMY is 'Victory From Allah'  !

My God ! This guys have screwed us all up !! 

How can ?![/center]

I'm currently on a Jason Bourne novel by Eric Van Lustbader, in it a fictional military officer comes  to the conclusion that Christianity is feminine (and weak) cos of its loving,fatherly God,forgiveness,'turning the other cheek' etc ,while Islam on the other hand comes across as been masculine-ruthless,decisive,manly and strong.

What do you think?


Note: This isn't a thread to determine which is 'better', we all have our opinion on that. . . . . . . . . . . just state if u agree or disagree and why. . . .

We're the first team to crash out. . . sad,sad. . . . . ,I see the bright side. . . lets stop all these periodic,euphoric distractions & face our problems back home- an invalid disillusioned president, greedy politicians ,lack of basic infrastructure & of course corruption. . . . . .

Also Mukina2,

I thnk it'll help if you or other mods advise reasonsfor banning within the concerned thread, cos its possible Ms $osisi ^{who Im sure should be on her way to oblivion right now} , may be mixing up the reasons for her getting banned initially ,prob she was banned for fighting & not necessarily becos of her starting a thread.

Just ma 2 cents

Spot on tocdee !!!! Spot on !

keeeem:
I don't think there should be any apprehension on the setup of an Islamic bank. We should be tolerant of ourselves as people of the same country. There is a world phenomenon called freedom of association. let's all imbibe it. It is insinuations like this that are being raised here that contributes more to our backwardness.
Right now banks operate products that are interest free ran by muslims and no one sees anything wrong with that. Banks being ran by xtians operate these products. So what's the fuss about muslims putting their money in banks that fully support their beliefs. I won't be surprised if a Pastor of a church sits on the board of the so-called Islamic bank. Please let's be objective and not be guardian of religion. It is only God that can judge. Let's all focus on our personal interaction with God and learn to respect other people's beliefs.
God bless us all

keeeem ,u hve spoken well,the problem is ,nigeria isn't working. . . .million are hungry & destitute,so we need practical solutions not religious bigotry/hypocrisy

naijatoday:
Yes, the law gives the CBN the power to step in and remove CEO's that have put their banks in a situation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . but not to turn them to Islamic banks

lets wait & see what Aquilani's up to

JosBoy4Lif:
Your original post insinuates that a general pamphlet is that of a Nigerian bank and was spearheaded by Sanusi.
This is what we call hearsay man. And like gullible Nigerians we have commentary criticizing already

i won't say insinuates. . . . .I'd prefer. . . . . . hypothesise , & rather than assume these honourable Nigerians are 'gullible' i would commend them for holding an opinion,on pertinent issues whether current(existing) or probable. . . .

JosBoy4Lif:
Hearsay at work again. Nigerians are a truly gullible bunch.

explain yourself na. . .

Jarus:
Is Nigeria a secular or Multi-religious state? Please somebody should enlighten me.
The last time I checked there is 'SO HELP ME GOD' in our National Pledge.

The US has 'In God We Trust' as well & is still regarded as secular. Secularity isn't necessarily synonyous with atheistm or agnosticsm,it simply means seperation of Religious authority from governance.

The opposite would be a theocracy (like Iran),one of the most religious countries in teh World is Italy,which even has part of its geographic territory ceded to a particular faith(Vatican). . . .but its still secular.

You can believe in God ,but not bring in your religion to governance. . . .
