and who told u Gold said he was 32, dont u have eyes if you see a 32 yrs old man? Cant u see his lyrics are far mature than a 32 yrs old?.

Check his twitter, in 2017, someone asked him his age and he replied 30. Just yesterday he posted a video on his Instagram saying he is 3 decades and 2 years old, and as for his matured lyrics, 32 years old is a full grown man, and should be able to think like a man, there are singers that are not even up to 30 and are singing maturely

Naughtytboy:
you can easily be deceived

Can you please redirect me to his birthday thread of last year, where they said he was 37, you that cannot be deceived

Naughtytboy:
God bless you bro, there was a time he said he was 37, but he changed it few hours later, he can never be 32

Oga Adekunle Gold is 32, his last album that was released last year was named About 30, and he started writing it 2017 when he clocked 30

The stats are wrong. Iniesta might have better stats but from what I am seeing, Fabregas has 36 assists for Barcelona.

By the way, you can see Iniesta having 10 assist in a whole season but still one of the best midfielders in the World. So assists, goals are not key to the modern midfield game. The intensity and work rate is key. Fabregas lacks behind in this and was atrocious at Chelsea.

I just checked those first two seasons stats and iniesta was leading, so why the problems, and iniesta had 10 assists because his team were full of assist givers, but as for Fabregas and Kovacic, Fabregas outplays him in all the stats. period

TheGoodJoe:



Bernardo Silva did everything,” Guardiola told reporters. “He is the smallest one but shows us that to play football you don't have to be taller or more physical.

“He is incredible. I haven't seen performance like that in a while. It was clean and clever. Against Van Dijk he was comfortable.”

https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/ive-not-seen-a-performance-like-that-in-a-while-pep-hails/1ifixxewrnfmn10lo3aok66zo5

Like I highlighted before. This was the best midfield performance I ever watched. Fabregas lacks the work rate to do something this stellar but Kovacic does. This makes Kovacic a more ideal fit.

Fabregas lacks the work rate but he outperforms Kovacic in every angle

TheGoodJoe:


I wish you can dig out that stat but I can bet Fabregas goals and assists will dwarf that of Iniesta in that three years period. However, Iniesta was still the better player.

That is the point I am passing.

I just did that and in 2011/2012 Fabregas had 8 assists while Iniesta had 10 in LA liga and in 2012/2013, Fabregas had 11 while iniesta had 16

Iniesta was always better

TheGoodJoe:


As I said. The systems are not replicas but the common denominator is that the midfielders must work like horses. Fabregas totally lacks that but Kovacic is a monster when it comes to hard work.

But their EPL stats shows that Fabregas defends better, passes better, shoots better, scores better, assists better, crosses better, plays freekick better than Monster Kovacic

TheGoodJoe:


Ratio. Ratio. Check the average of Fabregas assist to game at Barcelona and check Iniesta. You will see Fabregas had a higher ratio but Iniesta was the better player.

And I just found out that Fabregas that has spent over 6 years in EPL has more pass accuracy, cross accuracy, tackle success accuracy, in short anything accuracy than Kovacic that has played only 20 matches

TheGoodJoe:


Ratio. Ratio. Check the average of Fabregas assist to game at Barcelona and check Iniesta. You will see Fabregas had a higher ratio but Iniesta was the better player.

How many time do I have to explain to you that Fabregas was there for only 3 years and his ratio should be better, if you want to compare, compare the ratio of the time they spent there together

TheGoodJoe:


The system is still growing and the systems are not replicas. What matters is that Possession is a big part of Guardiola and Manchester City game. It comes first. Sterling and Sane were not performing at the current frequency when Guardiola first came.

Guardiola game still reflects on the creativity of his midfielders, if not for injury, de bruyne would have been the highest assist giver in EPL this season but Kovacic lacks creativity, he cannot create chances

TheGoodJoe:


So you now see my point. Despite Fabregas having high goals and assists, better than Iniesta, he was not the better player.

So that is also why Kovacic is a better fit to Sarri than Fabregas. He offers more to the modern day system than Fabregas.

A Fabregas in his prime lacked the work rate to break into a set up like Liverpool with the likes of Naby Keita, Henderson, Wijnaldum.

You might think of his passes but the intensity and work rate takes a bigger part of the game. That is why you see the likes of Vidal taking center stage.

Fabregas never had higher assists than iniesta, iniesta and ozil were still la liga best assist givers from 2010 to 2014

TheGoodJoe:


Impatience of the Barcelona board. It takes a strong heart and patience to work with Van Gaal. When you look back, you will see he was working on something phenomenal. His knowledge is too deep. Deeper for even the masters of the game. Let alone you and me.

Impatience after winning league?. Van gaal did not end that season, he was sinking down the table day by day and it was looking like they were heading for relegation, I just have a question for you, if you were barca president, will you leave van gaal to continue coaching and risk a club of that capacity going to relegation??

TheGoodJoe:


Sterling plays on the forward line which play a vital role in the attacking segment of our game play. Most time, close to the opposing goal. When we get to that section, we can lose the ball with the mentality of winning the ball back as soon as possible. That does not mean Stones or Fernandinho will play with such mindset because if we lose the ball in that section, we are exposed.

But hazard and willian don't attack the way sterling and sane does, they still pass the ball even in attack

TheGoodJoe:


Iniesta is older, Even though it can be like two years, in that perspective, Fabregas was closer to his prime years than Iniesta but Iniesta offered more class.

Finito.

because iniesta is a better player in all angle, even when Suarez is at his core prime, messi will still perform better than him even though messi is older and that's because messi is better than him in all angles. But what Fabregas has achieved, Kovacic can never in his entire life achieve it.

TheGoodJoe:


As I said before, Van Gaal needed time to build Manchester United. He changes a team's style of play from its DNA.

At AZ, I think Van Gaal finished 13-14 on the table. The next season, he won the Eredivisie with AZ. It takes patience and a strong heart to work with Van Gaal because he believes in his philosophy to the core.

then what made him to get fired below at 16th position one season after winning the league at barca

TheGoodJoe:


Not true at all. I am a City fan and a big follower of Guardiola. You do not get to be the second best teams with respect of possession by going all out attack.

Our first rule is to keep the ball. Second rule is win the ball back as fast as possible before we attack. Most attacks are done after creating spaces in the opponents half with well played possession football.

Then how come did sterling say that Guardiola tells him not to be afraid of loosing the ball

TheGoodJoe:


Even when Fabregas was at Barcelona with Iniesta. Keep in mind, Iniesta is older but his impact on the the team was far better than Fabregas when you reference his influence to the style of play.

What are you saying? they were both young then and iniesta was a better player, which one is iniesta was older like he was above 30

seems you don't know what possession game is
Guardiola don't tell his boys, go and possess the ball, he tells them go and attack, attack always and its because they are always attacking that they tend to possess a lot but sarri says just be with the ball, don't loose the ball and when you get a good chance you can shoot. That's the difference between attacking and possession game.

TheGoodJoe:


Fabregas in his spell at Barcelona had a better assist ratio but Iniesta always supplied the right ammunition Barcelona needed to build a dynasty.

That is the point I am making.

And I am trying to tell you that he should have a better ratio because he spent his peak there and he did not stay long, its a normal thing

That was my statement in 2014 before Van Gaal began his job at Manchester United. Van Gaal is an extremist when it comes to possession football but required a long time. I knew Manchester United lacked the patience to work with Van Gaal.

But he was sacked by barca because he left them 1 point above relegation zone, that's what you get when you posses and not attack

TheGoodJoe:


As I said before, the possession style takes time to pick up. Guardiola did not win the league in his first season. In Guardiola's second season, he got rid of the chaff. Sarri is building something special. The results will come with time but first he must get out the chaffs like Fabregas.

Fabregas has been so lazy most times he plays. Lacks the work rate to meet up.

Look at Silva at City and see how hard he works for the team. He is about Fabregas age and played in the U17 and U20 World Cup with Fabregas but Silva still puts in a whole lot of effort for the team.

Not just passes.

Fabregas lacks the work rate and cannot be compared to a work horse like Kovacic.

Guardiola doesn't play possession game, he goes all out attack, and he will be forever grateful to Fabregas for his time at barca. Chelsea has become a boring team, that their match thread don't get to front page again, out of their last four matches only 1 moved to FP, and that was because they were playing against arsenal.

TheGoodJoe:


Look at the stats you posted of Fabregas and compare the Average to Iniesta. You will see Fabregas contributed more. When it comes to goals, both Xavi and Iniesta did not come close but their contributions were more iconic to Fabregas.

It shows the goals assists you scream of was not the key ingredient.

Iniesta came from the youth academy, he started out as a youngster and played even after he left his peak, but Fabregas came in at his peak and spent only 3 seasons with them, who is supposed to have better ratios. Zlatan has more goal ratio for Manchester united than Rooney but you can't compare his impact with Rooney because of the time factor, get this into your head

TheGoodJoe:


The possession philosophy is deep and unravels itself with time. Sarri is building something special at Chelsea and with time, they will dominate a lot of teams.

We all know where possession game kept van gaal today

TheGoodJoe:



Barcelona spent years trying to sign Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal. However, when the midfielder finally returned to the club where he had emerged as a talented youngster, things never quite worked out. And in 2014 he left after just three seasons, to be replaced by Ivan Rakitic.

There were few tears. A year earlier, Barca had seen the talented Thiago Alcantara depart to join Bayern Munich. He, like Cesc, was one of their own. But Fabregas' relationship with the supporters soured after some disappointing displays back at Camp Nou. So he decided to move on, Barca were happy to sell him and Rakitic has proved much more effective in his place.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.goal.com/en-my/amp/news/barcelona-were-right-to-replace-fabregas-with-rakitic/uxcnamurh4iw1h430cowcf49k

The goals and stats you pour, covers the true picture of Fabregas time at Barcelona or why Fabregas was never the kind of player to push Chelsea through the modern football Resolution.

Look at the likes of Vidal and Rakitic. They are not raking goals and assists but giving their all to make their teams win. These guys are more crucial than the goals assists you scream of.

There is a big part of the team fighting back when the team loses the ball and Fabregas lack the work rate to help the team press or track back to win the ball.

If you look from this perspective, you will see Fabregas stands no chance against the likes of Modric, Rakitic, Kovacic, Koke, Lemar, Bernardo Silva and a host of others. Even in his prime, he would fit in to give the kind of electric performance needed in the current wave of play trending.

So why is Chelsea not winning matches with kovacic and jorginho

TheGoodJoe:


You think it is just assist and goals. Xavi and Iniesta were not into the assist and goals but their impact in each game were monumental and created a history that will last for a century.

Fabregas might have those stats but he was a total misfit. It was a failed project and cut off because it was not working.

I just observed you know nothing about football. Xavi was a workaholic midfielder but iniesta was an assist giver, he made close to 150 assists in LA liga

Is Fabregas the more attacking midfieder?

I just found out 1 thing, you dey watch back of TV

TheGoodJoe:


You are forgetting Fabregas flopped at Barcelona. By the way, Fabregas in his lifetime would never keep Toni Kroos or Luka Modric on the bench. Fabregas might have the beautiful passes but lacks the kind of workrate required in modern style of play we see at Dortmund, Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham.

You might be blown by his style of play but Fabregas will never be picked ahead of Kovacic by any top coach. He lacks the work rate and was terribly lazy in lots of games he played for Chelsea.

Fabregas flopped at Barcelona,
Let me remind you of his stats
Chelsea 198 apps, 22 goals and 57 assists
Barcelona 153 apps, 48 goals and 51 assists
where do you get your stats from? Fabregas cannot bench kroos and modric today because he is off his peak, even iniesta will never bench these two but it doesn't stop him from being a king, Fabregas is a king and Kovacic is an average player.
Any manager that does not play Fabregas ahead of kovacic is foolish, and sarri is suffering from it now. Manchester united that defended from August till December already has more goals than Chelsea, how will goals come when the midfielders are just passing the ball around them without moving deep to create good chances, you give the ball to jorginho and he passes immediately to his nearest man and you tell me he has the highest amount of passes, why don't he behave like Pogba who gets the ball and try to send it to attack with a very long pass, that's why Pogba creates the heavy amount of chances he creates and that is how goals will come

TheGoodJoe:


When I talk about reading plays, it is not about finding defensive weakness of the opposition but their offensive play. Breaking them down with tackles and interceptions. Today's top midfielders like Kevin De Bruyne, Lemar, Benardo Da Silva and Wijnaldum contribute more than just reading weaknesses and passing.

It takes a lot of hardwork to get to that level and Fabregas is miles behind in that respect.

The only top midfielder you listed there is de bruyne and he is a top midfielder because he assists, he can't defend, fernandinho does the defending

Not possible. Unless, you will be using a new signature at every point in time of your life which isn't possible. Like bank account, house rent payment receipt, ID cards and every other documents. Think about it this way, if there any case that has to do with signature, it can quickly escalate to bursting your home to search for other documents, checking your bank account signature etc. There is no way you can get away with it.

What if I forged the signature
or can't I say that someone forged my signature because its possible
