andrewbaba44: I won’t take some of you guys serious
The hate for Tammy is just too much just because he refuses to play for naija
I am sure if someone said a super eagles player won’t cut it at the highest level and he is playing for a big team like Chelsea and he has already scored 13 epl goals this season almost all of you will insult that person
So why negative over Tammy ?
not me at all, this no be hate, I'm not saying he's not good but let's talk true if Chelsea want to challenge for the championship I'm not sure they should be looking at Abraham to spearhead their attacking line.
daveP: No o..... His eye for goal is second to none. Only Vardy has his shot at goal ratio across the whole leagues in England. Boy is good for the future. Euros will be a great platform to unveil his Golden Boot abilities.
Watch as He will tear Bayern Apart and take Chelsea to the next stage.... He's destined for greatness.
Danielnino00: That's simple because Klopp use him that way... When Firmino first joined Liverpool under Rodgers,he was being used on the flanks, later as a lone striker,then as an attacking midfielder... But when Klopp joined, he was converted to a false9 .. Never mind the fact that he doesn't score many goals...he does what the coach needs from him and that's enough..
As for Origi, he is an out and out striker, [b]but Klopp doesn't like playing with an out and out striker [/b]so he uses Origi on the wings.
In essence, Liverpool don't have an out and out striker because they don't need one... Not under Klopp system...
Lucas barrios and lewandowski dey greet you o. If klopp see better out and out striker he go use
TheSuperNerd: From Gianluca Di Marzio on Osimhen transfer latest... (Translated from Italian).
Naples, Osimhen is in the city.
Napoli now tries to put the arrow for Victor Osimhen. The Lille forward, for whom Giuntoli had already given a strong acceleration yesterday , left France with the agent, and is expected today in the city. He will speak with the management of the Azzurri, visit Naples, where he will spend the night, to thoroughly evaluate the possibility of a transfer. De Laurentiis' club insists on bringing to Gattuso's court a promising young forward . These hours could be decisive.
The private flight that brought Osimhen to the city landed in Naples. First contact with the club that is looking for him a lot and that could close the deal. The attacker arrived with the agent. Here is the first photo.
My fear is De Laurentis, if osimhen join and play very well as expected, joining another club will be difficult as Laurentis is a very hard bargainer
TheSuperNerd: Listen man, come here for a bit... let me tell you something. Now, the Bundesliga is about to end. We made a bet to see who does more this season for their clubsides between Ujah and Iheanacho.
Now while Nacho has indeed justified my predictions and expectations for him, Ujah has made a mess of yours so far. So man, I think you should leave Zaidu matter and focus on this last bundesliga Matchday. It is not over until it is really over. Pray that Ujah bags like six goals, this final matchday, to prove you right and show I was wrong about him. Don't lose focus man, keep your eyes on the ball.
chill my man, you know Ujah just returned to the BuLi just wait till next season, even Bayern go bid for am
TheGoodJoe: Lately we have not been exorbitant. The problem is market inflation. I think we just bought Cancelo last season. It is a myth people have about City. Lot of our success is down to hard work and sound inhouse decisions.
it's no myth, city have the most expensive squad in England, but it's fine tho because if you want to be successful you need to invest
komekn: You are looking at football from one perspective the Spanish style of football. Things have moved on you are being too nostalgic.
A style that sees only two teams dominate in thier league consistently. But two teams with the best 2 players in the world.
Take out Messi from Barcelona and l tell you they will not have the same over riding dominance. Look at Real M.since Ronaldo left and they are not the same.
Most top quality teams are not entirely reliant on just one player.
Now to mitigate against the technical possession game of Barcelona. You simply bring in pace, more physicality and go more direct. And don't worry about possession.
Chelsea did it with Drogba.
Football has moved on and spending time on the ball with possession only is no longer the killer tactic. Pep has evolved the system with what he has done at Bayern and Man city.
Liverpool did it and gave Barcelona a football lesson with a crazy defeat right in thier backyard.
If it worked Carzola would still be in Arsenal but he has dropped to insignificance in Villareal.
The system also requires that everyone plays the same way.
Look at Seria A and see what the combination of speed, technical ability with physicality has done for Lukaku at Inter. Although for me irrespective of the league Lukaku is a proven tested World class striker.
Paul Scholes would not find it easy now the game has changed. Midfielder are box to box and they score goals.
Even with that you are still very wrong and not being balanced with regards to English players. Let's look at the current young English midfielder who are killing it. Mason Mount, Maddison, Winks, Grealish, Ruben Loftus, Barkley, Bamidele Alli, Todd Cantwell,etc to name just a few. These players will walk into any top club in Europe.
So again you seem to be out of touch with times the game has changed. Look at Liverpool where the Wing backs are recording more assists and even goals than top midfielders in the top leagues.
You need to drink the new wine, you are still drinking old Wine.
De Bruyne does not waist time doing skills and never ending possession football. But is arguably the best attacking midfielder in the world, look at his END PRODUCT assists and goals.

Please cazorla didn't drop to insignificance, he left arsenal because of injury don't make it sound like arsenal sent him away and he's one of the best players in laliga

sheyishemba: he tried his best his position limited his performance
I'm not saying his performance is bad or he's a bad player, but for those saying he should move to big teams he still need to do more for him to get noticed by a big team, infact he needs to do so much more
sheyishemba: Samuel Chukwueze started the game for Villarreal and played for 72 minutes before being replaced by Ontiveros. Chukwueze is yet to score since the restart of Spanish La Liga amid COVID-19.
Samuel's match statistics can be seen below:
Touches: 50
Accurate passes: 22 (75.9%)
Crosses (accurate): 1 (0)
Long balls (accurate): 1(1)
Shots off target: 1
Dribble attempts (successful): 5 (2)
Ground duels (won): 13 (
Possession lost: 15

He's not ready for the next level, he needs to spend more time with mid-table teams
TheSuperNerd: Chuba Akpom scored a 90+1 mins penalty as hia side, PAOK Salonika won 3-1 against OFI FC in the Greek super league.
He now has 8 goals and 3 assists in 24 games.
And James Igbekeme played the final 12 mins of his side's 2-0 loss to Ozornwafor's Almeria in the Spanish Segunda. Those who have been crying about Igbekeme should do well to drop more of his reports please. No dey wait for me.
TheSuperNerd: Ola Aina of Torino played the final 22 mins of his side's 1-1 home draw in Serie A against Parma. Belotti missed a 48th Mon penalty that could have probably won it for Torino.
how this belloti guy fizzled out is really shocking, at a point Torino was telling teams to pay almost 100mill for him but now I'm sure nobody will even buy for 20mill
