Sorry mate. The insults are unnecessary though. But it seems like you have limited understanding of the game, even though it's my understanding that you've been following for so long like you say.

For starters I never claimed Conte is the originator of the 3-4-3 nor that Wenger doesn't know about the formation. Of course he knows the formation and every other formation there is. He's a professional football coach that's his job. That's where you failed the first understanding.

Secondly, we're not doubting whether he has used this formation in the past before. Heck every coach out there has tried their hands on several formations in the past trying to find the one that works for them. Wenger we know generally settled for the 4-3-3. He introduced modern English football to that tactics. But for him to have never ever trialled the 3-4-3 anytime for the past 10 years+ only to 'remember' it this year, midway into the season, in the same season and league, that another manager has started using it to devastating effect, reeks of hypocrisy bro.

Thirdly though this is a point on tactics I hope you know something about it. The modern 3-4-3 relies heavily on attacking wingbacks. When did you think the concept of attacking wingbacks was introduced into football? For that matter when did you think full backs (RB & LB) became secondary wingers? Only a few years ago, full backs were primarily concerned with defending while the outside wingers (RMF & LMF) were largely entrusted with crossing the ball. Back then a static, slow player could still play as a full back. Now full backs are generally the fittest people on the team cos they defend and attack. Football changes and so does tactics. So that your manager tried 3-4-3 sometime ago by lining up 4 midfielders in a line doesn't mean that's the same thing now. If not, name the 'wingbacks' he used in his 3-4-3 back then and the ones he used this season.

Enough said

Good analysis OP. Surprising you're a lady.


For Ars, Granit Xhaka is not a mobile DMF. He's simply a deep lying midfielder who, because of his passing range and long pass ability, prefers spraying the passes out wide from an almost static position. However with Wenger joining the band of copycat managers switching to the 3-4-3 after Conte's obvious success with it, it is almost ideal for Xhaka as the formation plays to his strengths. In this formation it's all about the wingbacks and attacking players, the holding midfielders basically do less other than protecting their back 3 and occasionally linking up with the attacking trio. Only one or two solid DMFs are needed here to make sure the wingbacks and attacking trio receive the ball when they get into forward position. Little wonder we started seeing the best of Xhaka towards the end of the season when Wenger switched formation. Recommended buy: Aguero/Lacazette/Mbappe, Van Dijk, Fabinho/Gueye/Keita/Bakayoko and/or recall Nwakali and give the kid a chance, Keep Ozil, Perez and Bellerin. Sell: Gibbs, Chamberlain, Sanchez if he can get Mbappe or Lemar, Debuchy, Giroud, Walcott, Ramsey, Wilshire, Schzesney.

For Liv, Jordan henderson comes close however having started almost half of the season on the treatment table, I don't see him having that sustained effect. Also Can doesn't do it for me as he is inconsistent. No idea why Klopp is letting Lucas leave and recruiting Salah where he already has an array of attacking wingers in Mane, Lallana, Coutinho and even Firminho. Time will tell. Recommended buy: Bakayoko, Reina, Ryan Bertrand, Keep Coutinho and Lucas and bring back Sakho rather than splashing out all that money on Van Dijk. Sell Moreno, Sturridge.

For Mnu, Ander Herrera is my best pick at DMF besides Kante. Fast, strong, energetic, mobile, box to box, has a good eye for a pass, can score goals, breaks up play and sets up attack in one move (like he did against Chelsea to set up Rashford), is better than Kante in his ball technique and attacking play, brilliant man-marking skills (they had to remove Eden Hazard from his pocket while washing his shorts after the Chelsea game). I remember watching the Man Utd-Chelsea game and thinking this is the guy that should have cost 89m while Pogba should have been 32m. With Herrera, Pogba, Carrick, even Blind in United's ranks, going for Matic could mean Jose is reverting to his defend, choke and hit on counter tactics that brought him success in his first stint at Chelsea and also to Leicester City. Though I guess new and brilliant Prem Managers now like Pep, Conte, Poch, Klopp etc would have learnt how to counter such tactics. He must know there's so much demand on him now to win the title with this expensively assembled squad.
Recommended buys: Aguero, Sanchez, Morata, Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Keep De Gea. Let Ibrahimovic leave.

what's with people with this Alves transfer? Can't a coach add people that hold better UCL experience to his team than going with all these smal small Bruyne, Sane et'all.


People don't realize that Man City are always faulty in the UCL not because they don't have better player but its because lacks proper UCL experience. Abeg, leave Pep o, let him sign whomever he sees fit for him.

For call of duty gamers you guys if you play two or three games from, the franchise then you will understand what am trying to telling you,if you arent still satisfied play BattleField and am sure you will hate COD.


And for God of War fans arent you guys tired of thesame storyline "Revenge" I think Sony should have quit the, game since GOW 2 to me that was the end of the Game.
Lastly, am not saying these games are bad but OVERRATED the game is just like every average games ive played.

Note: Before you start arguing make sure you are not like my guys who said God of War Is the best but has only played the ones from PS2.

You better talk to lala then. See yourself, yammering away because you don't like one guy's list. One guy does not make a section. Like I said we know him. The funny thing is the actual regulars are not even on here, sef. This post is flooded with the FP randoms, 'cause the OP mentioned the supermods, where it was seen and pushed immediately. I've seen enough real "Nigerian hardcore gamers" on here. They're doing just fine without your validation.

Since you feel so strongly about, do your own write up. It's the OP's opinion, it's subjective, counter this with a "better" list. Since, y'all crying like someone stole your zobo, ain't helping you either.

Please is there anybody above 35 here who still loves to play video games.

Sometimes I feel like Im alone.

cococandy:
You people are disgusting.
What is your business with single women? Did they ask you for help? Did they cry to you about their single status?
Why aren't you just as worried for your single brothers above 28?
You're all very stupid if you think a woman being single at a certain age means her life is worse than anyone else's.
Such retardedd posts littering nairaland.

Eruditor:
You bloviate a lot. Did Barca not regret letting Dani go going by his last season's performance? He was adjudged the best RB in the champions league that says a lot!

Of course the signing shocked me but I am guessing Dani is coming to act as a mentor to someone younger that Pep hopes will play that role in the longer term. I still expect him to sign a younger RB and the news has been awash with the prospects of signing Kyle Walker. Perhaps he is waiting for Tottenham to sign Kyle's replacement before they finalize the deal.

Stop getting excited. When Mou got E'too in his 2nd stint in CFC after chasing Rooney through out the transfer window was it not clear that E'too was not his first choice? We have heard the Bellerin rumors and the Kyle Walker one. I am sure Dani is here as the plan B.

Besides, Dani understands Pep's game and was looking pretty fit last season.

This is his third FP gaming post, we know he's not a fan of GoW. Maybe, as a suppose gamer, you should make your presence more known in this section. We no know you for this area, but we know him.

An0nimus:
Same thing I said too plus it reduces game time. Imagine a game of like 5 of those VAR decisions. Valuable time will be lost for sure. Maybe I'll get used to it if FIFA endorses it fully but I know the first time I saw VAR in a hockey game (I think), I just didn't like the idea.

I love the controversy aspect of football. With VAR, teams won't get away with some funny goals (See Portugal and Chile games today for example). The second Chile goal still looked like an offside though the VAR okay'ed it.

Is she still married?

If she's no longer married, then when she is done with the cleaning, tell "You must be very tired. Rest small before you go."

Then craftily start massaging her feet while playing any soft romantic music (eg by John Legend) at the background. Tingle her and make her laugh.

Then proceed to her neck while she is still laughing and massage that terrain wella.

Just keep observing as she dey change gear.

While she is laughing and blushing, tell her "Let's play small." Then lock face with her and kiss her nose. Then her lips. Just observe her response to each kiss. If she dey respond, start kissing and romancing her aggressively.

Once you notice say she dey respond aggressively too, tell her "Let's enter the bedroom." Continue kissing and romancing her as una dey go so that the fire will keep burning.

As you enter the room, pull down her panties and finger her pussy. Continue fingering the pussy while you romance her.

Then put your dick and blast the hole.

Hehehehehe


You are on your own bro.

From your narration i can tell you have little or no experience with girls. she is ready to have sex with you and to cover up her lies about the virginity poo she has been feeding you, she has to come up with a nice pile up story. tell her to narrate the story again and figure out addition and subtractions. her father sent her to a 22 yrs old boy unknown to her or known?? and the boy lacks the regard for the father to rape her or they both planed the rape?? d story is lame as far as i am concerned. No matter how hard hearted your father is, you being raped by a person he sent you to would not be taken likely by him cos you didn't just go out on your own account. Guy forget nursing all this snakes forming miss innocent hardly is any of them innocent, its the new world.
