Same haaland that broke premier League goal record

Champions League highest goal scorer

Someone everyone was calling a Robot 🤖 last season

Now he is useless and didn't deserve balon'dor last season

Omo😂

You see this life, nothing weh you go do wey you go satisfy person

Their own be say, as you dey up, just make sure say you no come down oo, cos people wey dey shout hosanna hosanna today go carry cross crucify you tomorrow

ThierryJay:
Nah, you are mixing it up.

Benzema won the 2022 Ballon Dor for 21/22 season.

Messi won 2023 Ballon dor for 22/23 season which is when WC held and Haaland also won UCL.

Fifa best is what Messi won twice using the same WC. Haaland deserved the 2023 Fifa best.

Ohhh.. Okay

Thanks for the correction

You can't say there is contact and still say it is not a penalty. Inasmuch as there is a contact, it is a penalty. At least that's what their rule book says.

AWB conceded a penalty which to me was ridiculous against Liverpool. At the end of the day, they said there was a contact.
Remember that famous match against City in January 1st. Benardo was falling, Xhaka just slight pull his shirt and Gbam! penalty was awarded. The excuse then was that any shirt pulling inside the box is a penalty.

That's the main reason why England ref most times never officiate high profile matches or even go to world cup.

There's contact and even "contact" demands common sense. I can't play ball one side then go the other way and barge into you then fall and then the Pk would be given. Only England that sort of thing is rampant that sometimes I wonder if they're humans or programmed robots.

It's the reason why the ref was very smart Ystdy. He didn't award a Pk against Gabriel and he also didn't award a Pk for Saka. Both demands common sense

Silentgroper:
Now that you're almost jubilating as if you've won the league ... I'm a just reminding you that man.u is around the corner for you guys..


Heck, spurs is also around to do the major damage ..

I'm jubilating that I am top and that it's in my hands now

When I reach Man u and Spurs, I go know how I go take cross them

mostob:
There is a reason why I ignored him. I'm tired of his baseless argument. Man just arguing and arguing. The last time I countered him about the excuse he gave that Kai missing chances was because he is not a CF, he said I should go and read every post again. SMH

Lol... Spy sometimes deh tire person.

I dunno whether he thinks all the whole arsenal fans hoping for Timber to come play Lb are dumb or we don't know what we're saying.

daveP:
What makes it worse it that left is his strong foot. Guy just lift the ball abeg. Neuer was already onto his right leg sef. No Bayern player would stop whatever decision his left kick took at that milliseconds. Argghhhhhh


Overall, the experienced players are carrying this UCL campaign while the inexperienced ones are flashing off and on or just totally off. Rem i keep saying that two teams may cancel each other but a goal from smart and quick would make the big difference


We are extremely lucky this is not the days of Aggregate away goal rules. Infact those days are still impressed on me that i feel this draw is a defeat in my head. 😑😂

Lol, that's just what I'm happy about entering into the 2nd leg. No away goals, else I would have shut off our chances

raumdeuter:
Never a penalty

Yeah, I later saw the clips on it well and I agree

purplekayc:
Didn't watch the match.
So no bayern fans @ the emirates?
That's not possible

Yeah, Bayern fans were sanctioned by uefa and were banned from attending our home game due to an indiscipline they caused In the previous uefa away match after being warned not to initially

Arizoner:
I don't like what you are doing here. Ben white missed a glorious chance in first half and nobody is talking about it including dav.ep and mos.tob. Has he become a sacred cow that he's not worth criticising like saka cos he's black

Please don't use this black or racism stuff here. We don't do that. I mean, why will a black be racial to a fellow black?

White is a defender and I hardly criticize defenders for not scoring cos right from young they don't have that composure for scoring esp CBs — you can see the way he rushed the shot. It would have been nice if he scored but if that was an attacker (Midfielders or forward), I would have criticized him.

raumdeuter:
Leave them make dem dey cap

Epl coaches players and fans voted Haaalnd over other City players

City fans and players voted Haaland over other city players

Na just big cap dem dey cap

No one person here ever claimed Haaland didn't deserve EPL best or world best last season. E reach a year later, suddenly Kdb and Rodri were more deserving of him last season.

Maybe they thought everyone is moved by recency bias

kendrick9:
I'm not sure you understand what the term best Player in the world mean.
You can't be the best player when you have just 10 touches in a 90mins game, simple.
I no get time to argue any other thing

Who made this rule?

Don't form something in your head and drop it here like fact please

kendrick9:
Ask any City fan who they would pick in crucial deciding match between either Haaland or Rodri/KDB.
That should give you your answer.
Haaland was a ghost in the big games.
City wins those trophies with or without him, infact City played better football without him

All these ones you dey talk na cap.
The same people you say make I ask naim vote am best player.
See wetin Oga Dayo talk below


[quote author=raumd.euter post=129363985]Epl coaches players and fans voted Haaalnd over other City players

City fans and players voted Haaland over other city players[/quote]Not everyone is sentimental and biased like you and hen.sben and thank goodness you guys were in the minority.

Even your Kdb had zero votes. So much for balon dor winner

ThierryJay:
Jodera, how will Haaland win Ballon D'or for a season where Messi won the World cup as its best player?

What Haaland deserved to win last season was Fifa Best, not B'dor.

FIFA best, Balon dor... All join!!

Messi won World cup in 2022
What concerns Balon dor with that when when same Messi still won 2022 Balon dor because of WC

purplekayc:
This tie may end up in penalties

I dunno Tbh.

I mean, if with our 100% fans at home (no Bayern fans), we could be this nervous and rushed a lot of things, I don't know how we might cope with Bayern fans and their hostile environment.

Well, fingers crossed tho.

daveP:
I keep replaying different angles of that clip.

That net was empty and for the taking. Why Why Saka? Let's leave the officiating fes and focus on the decision making in that crucial moment sef.

It's why I never agreed that's a Pk.
I watched different angles of the clip and I believed that's what the var watched too. You could see that Saka just played the ball away from Neuer then ran into him to initiate the contact.

It was a very very poor decision and I hate that rules that says "any" contact on the attacking player is a penalty. That's very unlike Saka and I believe it's just nerve that got the better of him so he decided to go for the easy way out

Last season, almost everyone was in awe of Haaland and how he destroyed almost everybody.

Now we don deh hear say Rodri and Kdb were more important and influential than him.

Funny and ridiculous how you guys will use this season to claim Haaland doesn't deserve the Balon dor last season

AdisaOwala:
If you check, my critique is based on his "zero output" if he is not scoring, and this has been echoed by his manager in the past.

Just seen it that it is becoming increasingly clearer for all to see now and we can even say Pep was honest enough to point this out even when he was scoring for fun

Anyone who watches his game will agree to your critic. If you follow my posts too, you'll see where I've countlessly said that without his goals, him no be am and that he needs improvement in other areas

What I am against is anyone saying he doesn't deserve Balon dor last season or that Kdb and Rodri deserves it over him.

That's the fallacy I'm against

kendrick9:
When did anyone say that?
Messi wasn't just a tapin 10 touches penalty box striker was he?

Different styles of play shouldn't be a criteria to victimise someone.

Haaland broke unimaginable records last season while winning EVERYTHING. That itself makes him the world best player.

What did Rodri and Kdb do to deserve the Balon dor?
In fact what are they doing that they haven't done before Haaland came?

oliverano:
Rodri, KDB dey all these while, no UCL. But immediately Haaland came they won the treble. He was factually the difference last season and should have won it.

Messi is the goat🐐but the last balondor was for GoaLand!

I don rest!!!

Leave them make dem dey play

kendrick9:
I haven't diminished nothing.
He was the best striker in the world last season, facts.
He wasn't and still isn't the best player in the world. That's also facts.
I hate the fact that this modern football fans thinks scoring goals makes you the best player.
How can a player that average 10 touches in 90mins in big games be the best player in the world?
That's insane....

Someone broke all records unimaginable last season and you think just the "best striker tag" is enough to justify his efforts?

I'm not one to start judging whether he has 1 touches or 80 touches but there's something called efficiency and he did it effectively.

He won all trophies ought to be won last season being the top scorer and breaking all records there is to break.

For your talk to even be valid, show me anywhere during last season where you said Kdb and Rodri deserves Balon dor then I'll not take you as someone who's looking for a low moment to strike Haaland when he's down. Just silently waiting for this opportunity to strike him

ouzo1:
U dey talk as if u no sabi Nigerians....dey kind envy and jealousy wey full our body na die. Make season finish first we go know who be who again.

But this one is just ridiculous.

I couldn't believe some people would ever think Haaland didn't deserve the Balon dor

AdisaOwala:
Thanks for the clarification

However, the criticism even started since last year, well before his injury

Everyone knows Guardiola is a big critic, that's why his team always perform well.

I'm talking about we neutrals seeing Haaland.

His all round game might not be great but he deserved last year Balon dor and presently he's not as swashbuckling as he's known for

hensben:
Exactly. They think ballon d”or is about who has the highest goal scored. Golden boot award is there for Halaand type of striker not ballon d”or.

When Messi was winning it, what him no win highest goalscorer??

Are you saying someone who's highest goalscorer can't win best player award?

oliverano:
The award was for Haaland. He did his job and deserved it, simple.

All these talks about Kdb and Rodri deserving it didn't prop up last season ooo.

Na around April (a year later) we dey hear this megedefegede and they think they're not biased.

I dunno if it's beef or what, but anybody that says Haaland doesn't deserve last year Balon dor is a hater. Big time Hater!!!

AdisaOwala:
I am the one that asked na, hence my reference to the PL and CL

Prove to us that he has been underwhelming since his injury

6 goals In 14 matches (across EPL and UCL) since he came back from injury

ouzo1:
Na plain envy joor.

Like, it's annoying.

See them saying Kdb and Rodri deserves Balon dor last season.
How many of them confidently said so at the end of last season when e hot?

It's just so annoying Tbh.

AdisaOwala:
Who is the top scorer in the PL and 2nd top scorer in the CL currently?

All these ones occured due to first half of the season mostly.

I was specific— Since after his injury.

I asked you, how was his performance and goals after his injury that you think he's not underwhelming?

In fact, why is the criticism loud compared to last season?

Amigoss:
Made mouth,how?

You made mouth that we'll drop points while neglecting your own boogey team na

AdisaOwala:
How is he underwhelming?

Is he not still scoring?

How many goals has he scored since him came back from injury?

Why do you think the criticism is loud now compared to last season?

FBS:
Scrapped bawo? lol
Nah, I meant the new FIFA offside rule, known as the "attacker's advantage" rule or something like that

Yeah, I agree with that

kendrick9:
How can he deserve the Ballon when he wasn't even City's best player?
Ask any City fan, even Pep, they would pick Rodri and KDB as more influential over Haaland.
Are you one of those who think a player who scores goals automatically is the best player?

Who won Man City player of the season 2022/23? Haaland
Who won EPL player of the season 2022/23? Halaand

All these ones you're talking is emotional talk. Anybody who watched football knows that Haaland was deservedly the best player last season... Whether home or abroad.

You can say he's not the best this season, but don't try to rubbish his effort and exploits last season just because he's underwhelming this season.

It's all shades of wrong

drisham:
This Is too much...yes he's not the best of players but I wouldn't call him bang

I see him as a kova, Henderson de Jong level type of player

Hope you meant Nigel de Jong sha
