Lol... I for say cos I suspect say you be OG for Liverpool matter.

But no worries, god of football don already prolong am. E prolong am from last season enter this season make e just complete the 20yrs.

ThierryJay:
No qualms bro. A lot of people do actually, but they have different basis periods.

Yeah... Thanks for the info

Roland17:
It is not a case of not being physically fit for Partey, rather he has not had enough game time to shake off the rust. He has been out for so long, he needs consistent run of games to shake off the rustiness. We should have been gradually increasing his minutes. Training and sitting on the bench for 90 minutes don't shake off match rustiness.

And Yes, we need Partey in this run in.

Hmmmm... I understand now

Arteta should please try and give Partey minutes then cos he's really really important.

I knew how many times Odegaard is in the half space ystdy and would have transitioned our ball faster but Rice or Jorginho didn't have the gift for that needle eye pass so they play the normal crossfield or side pass.

Imagine the kind of pass Partey gave Odegaard against Man city that Trossard floundered. That's the kind of transition passes we've been missing against good midblock teams like Porto, Man City and Bayern

A foul in the box is a foul ad a penalty

Just like a goal is a goal whether its scored by you or by your opponent

If you were not attacking but your opponent pass the ball into their own net, Is it a goal or not

That's where common sense comes into this matter. If the GK had used his hand to pass the ball to Gabriel to start the GK(which he sometimes do) we won't be hearing this things.

Gabriel didn't even use his leg and trap the ball then commenced with his hands. He used his hands instantly to show you that he still recognise that it's Goal kick.

This is like a player giving a ball inside the pitch to his teammate for a throw- in and his teammate catches the ball with his hands. Everyone knows that doesn't makes it a handball.

Silentgroper:
I have no idea what the bolded means but century is even an understatement.. It feels like a millennium and probably going to take another millennium before you guys smell that league...

The two decades is not enough...

I mean it took Liverpool almost 30yrs to win the league. If you never experience reach at least 10yrs inside that 30yrs, then you're a kloppo new generation fan

Don't worry, two decades is enough. There's a reason we wore golden stripes on our shirt. Even the gods of football knows that it's our time

Trevor012:
Pep won't win any manager of the month award but end up winning the league and coach of the year. One shekpite will now say we should leave the league title and coach of the year award to focus on manager of the month award to tell us the real coach of the season. Is it not ment?

mostob:
Partey has not really find his rythm. He is not at his usual best currently and it is frustrating.
Tomi must start second leg.... That second leg, na beauty Haram football we suppose play.

I'm still wondering how Partey isn't fit till now. Like I expected him to be over the match rustiness but the thing still deh him body.

I need a fit Partey in this run in. Yesterday really lacked Partey in the centre of the pitch

[quote author=swiz123 post=129368701][/quote]That one na him and him Man u fans own.

Normally I do respect and enjoy his takes. Even his agenda

Silentgroper:
baba na goal difference you dey jubilate on top 😁😁 ..

Well I wouldn't understand cause I don't know what it feels to have last won the league centuries ago ..

Funny!!!

So you're all these new generation Liverpool fan?

ThierryJay:
And rightfully so. Ronaldo De Lima had an almost non-existent club season in 2002 but won the best player over Zidane that drove Real Madrid to both La Liga and the UCL titles with a crazy goal in the UCL final. Not a single person complained cos that's consistency. WC has always carried greater weight than the UCL.

Is it now Messi that won a treble of some sort: World cup, French League and French supercup with 52 G/A that will now be denied? It is absolutely not fair to Messi to insinuate that he did not deserve the Ballon D'or in a WC winning year as its best player.

So yes, in 2022/2023 Messi was better than Haaland and rightfully adjudged the world's best player.

Forgive my mistake. I always confuse World best with Balon dor currently

swiz123:
I was expecting to see man of the match award somewhere here but imagine my shock.

Who had the most Man of the match award last season? I imagine you wouldn't be shocked.

Lmaooo....
I once read a statistics that Hazard have the most Motm award after Messi, yet man couldn't stand at Balon dor pondium.

My point?

The records I listed outweighs the MOTM awards

Oshey! Sherlock Holmes. 😄

Trevor012:
If Rodrigo didn't score those two important goals or Vini in the final Benzema would have been called a flop who didn't show up when it mattered most. All he did against Psg and Chelsea would have been discarded.

Exactly...
Na wetin deh pain me ontop all these "you need to show up".

They'll easily forget how others have showed up for their best players.

Imagine saying Rodri showed up in the final hence deserve the award, like say Haaland been dey sleep since.

You really try for this counter statement abeg!

afrodoc2:
Now tell me how you knew he was BlackTominay?

I did not give any clues. Why did your mind go to Bellingham?

You know we've once had a discussion about this Bellingham and Foden playing Midfield in England setup.

Judging from your explanation that day I knew through deductive reasoning that it's certainly Bellingham

swiz123:
You are talking as if other players like Rodri were having a stinker while Haaland was carrying Man city.
Man city doesn't need Haaland to win EPL, and judging by his performance in key moments in UCL, they definitely don't need him to win UCL. Maybe I need to investigate to see if he was the worst city player in that final.

The balon d'or organizers saw this, the voters saw this and he was rightfully denied the award.

I never implied so. It just meant that Haaland was head and shoulder above everyone else.

Even towards the end of the season, Haaland wasn't dropping stinkers. In fact second half of last season if you watch him well you'll notice he's more involved in play sef. Na this season I no know wetin do am after his injury.


The Balon dor organisers didn't see anything, they just gave Messi cos of world cup. If they're seeing what you and your friends are seeing, Kdb and Rodri would have topped Haaland in every award category

Trevor012:
We dey call football players you dey call Rashford and mctominay 😂😂

Trevor012:
""Arsenal lost the league last season because of KDB's brilliance. I am sure you haven't forgotten that game in a hurry.""

Kdb 2 goals 1 assist..... Haaland 2 assists and 1 goal. But it was due to Kdb brilliance lmao.

"" Benzema performance won ucl for Madrid ""

without Rodrigo two goals all his performance would have counted for nothing. Without Vini scoring in the final you will be the one still calling Benzema a flop who didn't step up in the final when it mattered most.


No need to talk about that nonsense of Messi carrying Argentina to the world cup singlehandedly.

I too like you cos you too dey make sense.

Na only when e reach Messi your head go just touch

AdisaOwala:
Offhand, I remember Inzaghi had a record for CL hatricks (can't remember the exact details). RVN was top scorer in the CL for quite some time.

Another poacher like Crespo might also have one record somewhere

I said close to what Haaland did at least in a single season not just "he broke the record of 5 goals in one match"

This are his exploits in just one season

Most goals in a single Premier League season (35);

Most goals by a Premier League player in a single season across all competitions;

Most Premier League goals scored by a Man City player in a single season;

Most goals scored by a Man City player across all competitions in a single season;

Youngest player to score 20 goals in the UEFA Champions League (20 years and 231 days);

Fastest player to score 25 goals in the UEFA Champions League (20 games);

Fastest player to score 30 goals in the UEFA Champions League (25 games);

First Manchester City player to score on both their Premier League and Champions League debut;

First player to score nine goals in their first five Premier League games;

Most Premier League goals scored in August (nine);

First player to score a hat-trick in three consecutive Premier League home matches;
Fastest player in Premier League history to three league hat-tricks (8 games, next fastest 48 games);

Third Man City player ever to score a Manchester derby hat-trick;

Most goals scored by a player before the turn of the year in a single Premier League season (21);

Quickest player to 50 goal involvements in the Premier League (38 matches);


The only players to get this kind lists in a single season na dem Messi and Ronaldo.

No be anyhow poacher be this bros

swiz123:
Who is BlackTominay?

Bellingham of course

No mind Doc

swiz123:
Arsenal lost the league last season because of KDB's brilliance. I am sure you haven't forgotten that game in a hurry.

Man city's win against Real madrid and Inter had absolutely nothing, like absolutely nothing to do with Haaland.

If your team didn't rely on you during the key moments of the season, then you are definitely not their most important player.

With Messi, his team's surge to the WC is solely based on his performance from start to end. Same with Benzema whose performance won the UCL for Madrid.
Without these two players, their team would definitely not achieve what they achieved.

You can lie to yourself that without Haaland, City wouldn't have defeated Leipzig and Upamencano's Bayern led defense.

One thing I know is that in a season of probably 50 matches, you can't use a match of 5-6 matches to clean out all the numerous matches Haaland shone.

There's a reason why they're a team. Haaland have done his part for considerably extended period of time at a very high quality level, then just a month to go and Kdb started getting the headlines, it doesn't stop Haaland from being the best player.

It's like crowning Gundo best player because we all know the time he normally shines (end of season)

daveP:
Before that mode comot head, e go ho tey o.

Lol, by next season e go comot.

Na because we never play UCL since na why

Trevor012:
Messi has won many awards he didn't deserve. Stop playing dumb like last year was the first time. He stole from Haaland which you already agreed to, stole from lewandowski, Benzema, Iniesta/Snejider and then Ronaldo more than once. Messi is a criminal.

He even stole from Rashford and McTominay.

Why you no add those ones??

AdisaOwala:
He said poachers and I am sure the likes of Van Nistelrooy,Inzaghi etc fall into this description

How many records did they break like Haaland or something close to it?

I had them in mind when I made that statement. You know say I be young guy, please enlighten me

Trevor012:
See how this one is calling his goat a thief. Football awards armed robber. Stole from Haaland, lewandowski, Benzema, Iniesta/Snejider and Ronaldo. Your dwarf is a thief.

Lol...
Everyone knows Messi didn't deserve the last world best, even Messi himself.

Trying to sneak in Ronaldo like say we won't notice. Lmaooo

swiz123:
I hope it's just my imagination and not you rating Chelsea as Levante cos omoo, blood will flow.

Lol, not necessarily Levante but any team struggling.

Look at Palmer for example, if he did this same quality he did at Chelsea in my team presently, he'll certainly be one of the front runners for player of the season.

Abi no be the same Havertz, Jorginho and Rudiger Chelsea fans no fit insult again?

raumdeuter:
Which both incident? The only error was the Gabriel handball

Saka was the right call

That Gabriel incidence, did his action impede any Bayern attack?

swiz123:
He is emulate Benzema's balon d'or winning season if we wants to win. Forget agenda, Haaland dey seriously short city one when they meet their match.

How many of their match did he meet last season that he floundered?

Arsenal
Man u
Chelsea
Tottenham
Liverpool

Abi na only semi final and final you wan use judge am?


Or are you people using this season only to cast him?

kendrick9:
Just because Ronaldo in his later years made poaching trendy, football wasn't like this before.
How many pure poachers have won the ballon d'or in history?

There is reason why Franz Beckenbeur is rated higher than Gerd Muller despite both playing in the same team

I don't know much about Muller and Beck so I can't talk about what I don't know.

But there's a big reason Haaland have the highest point gap in the EPL player award with Saka a distant second.

He broke records and won everything. Everything that Rodri and Kdb couldn't do.

How many tap In strikers break records?

Sportsweb:
Haaland deserved that balon dor and would have won it if that year wasn't a World Cup year.

ohh okay, I get now.
Thanks

mostob:
The 'common sense' part is the koko. There are some kind of PK appeal where you as the ref will be like 'Alaye stand up, you never chop? How you go fall down with that small shove? Your muscle na for decoration?' You get?

But the refs most time decide to go by the book. And guess what, they're never consistent with that.

Yeah, that's why the players easily con them. If they're applying common sense especially in this Var era, I believe most of these players will stop all these their theatrics.

Saka disappointed me ystdy especially knowing he's not that kinda player. But then, I believe it's nerve that worked on him and he was just looking for the cheapest way out. Unfortunately he's not in Epl

swiz123:
Bro, a tap in striker should never win a Balon d'or. That's like crediting you with other people's effort.

What do you mean by tap in striker?

Aguero that wasn't tap in, how many goals did he have per season?
Where others not working for him?

Should I talk about Gabriel Jesus during his time there?

Like how can you be a striker and you don't expect others to work for you, especially when you're in the best team in the planet.

Why is Haaland under a different standard when anyone half his achievements (bar Messi and Ronaldo) are winning Balon dor on a constant?

swiz123:
Bros
I don't need to be told that Jackson will be better than Haaland if he played for Chelsea. Haaland with his abysmal general play will be irritating to watch in this our useless team.

This is no strong defense at all.

Everyone knows you'll need to be in a very good team and win things to be adjudged best player.

Put prime Messi in Levante and the only award he'll win is maybe team of the season
