Jokerman:
See below bro... Sometimes Nani would play ahead of Hargreaves.

Ronaldo was more of an attacking forward than the traditional right winger though that season

Everyone knows he's an Attacking forward. (Key word is forward).

He hardly plays deep reason why he have so many goals.


This is just like 4231 where the "3" in the formation are called midfielders but anybody who watches ball knows they're purely wing-forwards

Leyqute:
Lol.

You always like good things.

What about his discipline? Pep kicked him out due to some kind of insubordination. Can Arteta handle him?

I don't think he's that kinda big inflated ego sha. As long as he's professional also, then Arteta will use him.

Roland17:
I think we are good at the CB position and personally would like to keep Tierney because of the variation he offers. We do need a RB and Cancelo would be perfect for how Arteta plays.
That midfield needs the most quality and depth. Also, we need to pursue a proper CF, not a striker or attacker but a proper proper CF. Someone that offers us something competitively different from Jesus.

I agree with this 100%.

Especially that CF part. It'll really help us in terms of tactical flexibility and plan B.

Midfield needs quality depth Tbh

Tomorrow, Una go talk say Rashford na Midfielder

Someone even said Ronaldo played Midfield at Madrid.

Things we see here

odizeey:
Na why una dey fit openly support Messi be this.

You didn't experience ororo. You didn't get intimate with the experience he gave. Oh my. Oh my

You people can twist fact sha.

The season he won the highest goalscorer and won the league, he wasn't a midfielder. 2007/08

Joker.man was saying this thing like joke but small small e don turn to facts

Ellexy:
Fergie converted Ronaldo from RM to RW

Roland17:
Good to see White get run of games at the CB position , I remember asking for this. I hope we keep Partey irrespective of what we do during the transfer window, if anything for squad depth and his quality.

Exactly..
I wonder why we should be putting Partey and Tierney up for Sale. Tierney own is understandable but Partey is a no no.

If White shifts back to CB it'll be better as we wouldn't need to buy Saliba's deputy. But na only if Arteta thinks such..

mostob:
It is like both Partey and Tierney are on the outgoing list.


Councillor for Tierney


Caicedo for Partey


Rice for Xhaka.


is this Arteta's plan?

Wetin Partey do?
Abi na that him rape case wahala, cos him being on outgoing list no dey clear.
Shebi we deh cry for squad depth.



And this one Partey deh play RB, I no just understand

johnjunior39:
Is a yay for me cos I feel Zinchencho should just move to midfield and replace or compete with Xhaka.

This his inverted kini is always exposing us.


I will not lie, I really find benching Terney as been disrespectful to him. I will support him if he want to go.that guy have not done anything wrong

Lol... Cancelo is also the king of inverting too..

Leyqute:
Jodera yay or nay?

Yay all day long

Bukola94:
They think Salah was their savior, Mane was underrated and disrespected. Mou will have kip him by all means, Arsenal will have appreciate him more. I will never support any clubs that don't value black or African players. The discrimination & racism is so unfavourable.

So Salah isn't African?
Cos I dont understand.

Somehow somehow, Salah have more goals than Mane, have more Assists than Mane, Scores more important goals than Mane during their time together...

...but somehow, Mane is the most important player while Salah is brandished as if he's less African than Mane

ChristineC:
with the news of a salary increase being negotiated for Lisandro Martinez barely a year into his contract, do we still need further proof that there's some high level racketeering going on at Man United? I thought Ed Woodward has left his position.

we might never be a top dog again till these current owners hands off 100%.

this is why we make next to nothing from player sales. thank you Phil Jones?? immortal words.. dey play

And those his words were touching oo

ZIMDRILL:
ok lets say he wasnt trained well
to address issues, but what do we say about the mother in law? wasnt she also trained well too, everyday visit i wouldnt like them too

The way i see, the fact she is now a mother in law, age and mature wise she should know better. The only reason i would accept for mother in law doing regular visits is when the son in law is loaded and she is coming to enjoy the life style

Lol... Two wrongs doesn't make a right.
The mother in-law is wrong for always visiting and intruding in their privacy
The husband is also wrong for talking to the mother in-law that way.

I mean, to even talk to an elder that way is bad enough how much more someone whose daughter you love and cherish so much. C'mon na.

There are many wise ways to talk to someone who did wrong and the message will be effectively passed and not only would your conscience be clear but the person who did wrong would know and accept his/her fault without feeling bad.

That's so so wrong on his part

popizaino:
Similar to calling Brazil underdog against Croatia in a world cup tournament

You sef see that kinda thing na

Trevor012:
Jode.ra you are a suspect. I hope whodeyhause and Firstborn never dey influence with their nonsense. Follow the discussion he was having with the person he replied to and you will get his point. He eve explained it below

You're his lawyer. Tell him calling Madrid underdog is wrong before telling us what he explained or what he didn't.

He's not the first person to believe that Madrid or any big/quality team is an underdog neither is he the only person in this thread.

andrew444:
Argentina was having 2.73 odds and France was having 2:90 cans you see it was close ,so no one can be termed as underdog

You can’t compare that to 1:50 against Madrid 6 odds

Madrid are being hyped to win at the ethiad because of their ucl legacy and not their current playing abilities

So for you to check who's underdog or not, you'll jump to bet site to see odd first? Come on na

Last season, Arsenal had an odd of 5. Something while Tottenham had 1. Something in the 2nd leg league match. Nobody would term arsenal Underdog facing Spurs last season

Lastly, Only the bolded will tell you that Madrid isn't an underdog, I don't know why you're not seeing it. AC Milan with all its legacies won't get that much hype if they're meeting Man city presently.

Trevor012:
If you are not sensible enough to get what he was saying then that's on you not me or greatihex. We know the point he was trying to make perfectly. You saw Monaco and Lyon in his list yet couldn't grab it? Jodera don dey allow shekpite influence am.

And then he used underdog twice.
That's not all, he even have to explain the underdog in his next post.

If he doesn't understand the meaning of underdog, tell him to understand it first before he starts using the word instead of using it wrongly and full of confidence.

Trevor012:
He clearly meant those clubs were not favorite but won City to progress. He was talking to someone who said City are the favorites and will trash Inter Milan. Even someone with mental disorder can grab what he was talking about.

Firstly, you said nobody called Madrid underdog after I told you that you didn't know the initial discussion. You asked for proof, I showed it to you.
Now, You are the one skewing things and explaining to us what he meant and what he didn't.

Oga, just calm down, You don't need to be his lawyer.

Trevor012:
This one or which one? Greatihex post was clear enough of City being favourites against teams that eliminated them in previous seasons.

This was the one boss

Greatihex:
that is what they have been saying since pep came to city, but since then nigga has always had his ucl hope dashed by underdogs each season. All have been underdogs as at the time they met city. Let me list them.

Monaco
Liverpool
Tottenham
Lyon
Chelsea
Madrid
All were underdogs to city as at when they met and eliminated city.

Inter will soon join the list.

Trevor012:
Nobody called Madrid underdogs. The argument was about City being favourites yesterday not Madrid.

Check Gre.tihex post.

Even Andrew agreed with the underdog tag

Trevor012:
Nobody tagged Madrid an underdog. Una go dey invent things from una head dey argue with.

Then you didn't follow the initial discussion then. Try dey follow initial discussions before jumping halfway

Trevor012:
so what are now arguing again? No need for those long epistles when you have already said it. Give us the Mathematics on how people with 5 odds are favourites over the ones with 1.5?

I never said they were favourites. I just said that they aren't underdogs.

Simple!!

A001:
I don't understand o. A whole Madrid for that matter. The defending champions. The only club to win 3 UCL titles in a row twice.

This debate is still surprising me even since late last year.
How can two big teams play. Both teams have quality players oo, yet some people will still tag one underdog.
Like would anybody be shocked or headlines made if Madrid win Man city??

Na wa!!

andrew444:
How can a team that was destined to loose by the odds not an underdog?

Make this make sense egbon

Odds is just about form and favourites to win.
You can be the least favourite, you can be the main favourites.

The final between Argentina and France, Nobody will tag Argentina underdog even though they bookies predict they have a lower chance to win than Argentina. We all know it's a 50/50 game and any one can win and that's how it'll be.
An underdog tag won't see people hyping that Madrid would win in Etihad. That means no be small thing be that.

Favourite and underdog are never absolute words and opposite

Odd is just higher chance for a team to win/lose according to statistical data. Finish!.

andrew444:
Because Madrid have won 50 ucl they cannot be an underdog to man city with zero ucl and a better team than them currently ?

Madrid winning yesterday won’t be an upset and that doesn’t stop them from being an underdog ,despite the achievements both are big teams so no upset

But there is a reason the so called under dog have 1.50 odds and the so called superior team have 6 odds

My Broda reason well abeg

If this isn't an upset, then why will they be termed underdogs?

Do you think the absolute opposite of favourites is underdog?

Haba na

andrew444:
Just take a look at you ,using your own hands to type and contradict yourself

He didn't contradict himself. Madrid having a higher odd doesn't translate to Madrid being an underdog?

How can a whole Madrid be an underdog bikonu?

A001:
So, in every match, there must be an underdog abi? And Madrid was the underdog against Man City? Do you know what underdog means?

No, I don't think so. Use your dictionary.

I don't just know why people think an Underdog must be in every match.

If you say Madrid is favourites or Man city is favourites, then it's good.

But calling a whole Madrid underdog? Na wa oo

Spy360:
You think the boys deliberately scuttled their title chances? You think they were not fighting to win the title? Na wa o. May be you need to go back to some of their comments then or see how they themselves felt disappointed.

No. They gave it their best shot but it wasn't good enough to upstage Man City. It is therefore disgraceful for anyone to call them bottlers.

See your bolded.

Na this thing taya me make I no lie.

It was as if it's deliberate or the boys didn't try. They're making it seem the boys just decided to scuttle the chances and aren't disappointed.

Or we ourselves aren't disappointed that we could win the match we drew. It has happened, it has happened. Once it's known, one of the things is to count your blessings and hope for improvements going forward.

Saying we achieved our initial target is facts. That we say it doesn't mean we aren't disappointed with not winning the league or that we didn't recognize the boys' efforts in trying to win the league. What's important is how to improve on this performance next season with quality squad depth and more tactical innovation cos now we know the experience is there.

To me, I don't see how all these is bad enough to be termed mediocre or sort or that the boys did something disgraceful...

mostob:
Jodera, whether we're competing for top 4 or the league, such performance is not excusable. You need to try and put up your best performance every time regardless of the pressure or temperature. Imagine Liverpool and Chelsea were competing for top 4..just imagine

We'll be here next season by God's grace.

I drop my pen!

Roland17:
In case you are unaware, the embolden just described the art of choking and bottling! It is okay to admit it in other languages outside of the main word!

That to me is lack of experience. A team that choke or is a chokejob is a team who do such over and over again. Season in, season out.

I'll Judge them next season

mostob:
And you think we can win a trophy with what you summarize here? If you can't deal with pressure as a team, you have no business challenging for the title. Do you think City won't mount pressure next season? BTW, how you take know they all have City on their mind? Until that City match, all of them who got interviewed always hammered on the fact that they're only focusing on themselves. See ehn, Arsenal tried this season but they didn't do enough. Using the 'top 4 was actually the target' narrative is just a cowardly excuse to me.

it's a process. As long as we keep on doing right, experience will take care of the rest. I'll be very angry if they've had this experience before and still faltered not because we were not good enough but because of same experience.
