TheGoodJoe:

Is Messi as explosive as he used to be? Answer yes or no.

Why do you sometimes argue for the sake of argument?

Here is your comment about watching Messi recently:

TheGoodJoe:

Historically, Messi is not that type of player that works hard to retrieve the ball and seen as lazy on the pitch. The stats I posted shows it. If he has improved under Enrique, props to him. I have not watched much of him this season. From what I expect from Nacho, there are other areas that needs improving than tracking back to defend and win balls.

If you have not watched much of him this season, why will you insist he's not explosive? Because you want to win argument?

TheGoodJoe:

I did not say I know more than the coach. I highlighted the sources from my analysis and if Messi improved massively defensively under Enrique, it highlights my point. He is no more as explosive as he used to play.

I am not convinced defending forwards is the best way to go. I see Suarez as Ideal and I feel the goals ratio is the best way for Nacho to go if he is to become the great we believe he can become.

LMAO...He's not explosive. Who is the top scorer in Champions league? Messi has 10 goals. The closest has 6. He's also the joint second in number of assists.

He's only a goal behind Suarez in La liga playing a lot of times as a Central midfielder allowing Dennis Suarez to play AM.

He is also second in number of assists.

Bros, define explosive for me abeg?

TheGoodJoe:

People may not realize this but Messi’s non existent work rate has already reduced Neymar’s chance of success at Barca considerably. It has already helped push forward Villa’s transfer this summer because Villa can’t make up the ground to cover for Messi’s lazy bones.

The Statistics

Of all the players that I looked at, Lionel Messi ran the least. He ran 44,027 meters in 482 minutes of play, scoring 5 goals and getting 3 assists. Compare this to Xavi: 56,552 meters in 441 minutes. The raw numbers there are obvious: Messi is truly out-worked by Xavi. When compared to all the Barcelona players whose stats are available, Messi runs fewer meters. He played the most minutes, but ended up “working” less than anyone else.

http://www.barcelonafootballblog.com/18698/messi-distance-limited-statistical-analysis-players-run-means/

You know more than his coach who sees him daily in training and who forms his tactics based on that. As a City fan, you've forgotten how he kills you guys when he plays with his workrate? LOL

Anyway, just wanted you to know you shouldn't believe Messi doesn't have great defensive contributions.

Unfortunately, I am thrilled by the football of Luiz Suarez who I feel is a gift to the game is weak when it comes to defensive contributions. I want Nacho developing his other attributes more than his defensive contributions if he is to become one of the best in the World.

Funny enough, one of the best in the history of the game, Lionel Messi is also weak when it comes to defensive contributions.

"The Argentinian phenomenon netted twice during the Catalan's 6-0 thrashing of Granada on Saturday, but his manager has been equally impressed by his dedication to defending.

‘He’s also a very determined player, and I think he’s also the No. 1 in terms of defending and dropping back.

‘Even though people talk much less about that part of his game, he’s also very good at it.’

"Messi’s defensive contributions are greater than ever. Messi has 40 tackles this season with a tackle rate of 58.8 percent (high for a striker), compared with Ronaldo’s 10 tackles and 38.5 percent rate. Messi also had 16 interceptions to Ronaldo’s four. What we do have for Messi was already
perfectly adequate for a high-volume striker , and for 2014-15, his “defensive plays made per opponent possession” is now in the upper echelon of his cohort."

Then that analysis is suspect and not reliable. MESSI is not weak in defensive contribution. A casual watcher of Barcelona knows this.

The guy didn't expect it will comes that way. Am very sure Oga Joseph will even hide in and refuse to pay the guy if he lose, that's not the right way to play bet ms, not really open. I later realized that the bet can't stand after i have taught that oga Josy should have ask one of the ogas in the house to have the money from the two parties before the stake is place on, So it will be more open in this way.

Honestly, if it was Oga Joseph that loss, the guy wouldn't put the pressure on him this way. As the guy is an Ijesha guy, he hardly give out money to people but he can blow that amount of money on beer and club with in a week if he got paid U guys should cool down, we are all matured. He will drop u something when something show, his hands are tied.

You are ridiculous. Now you're talking in third-person. Were you not the one that initiated the bet?

WHAT THE BIBLE PROVES

When religious people quote the Bible to prove God exists, atheists say the Bible is the claim--not the evidence.

If that is hard to understand, here is an easy way to think about it. If God is invented, the Bible CANNOT be true. So, when you assume the Bible is true, you are also assuming God exists.

Assuming the very thing you are trying to prove is a circular argument and circular arguments can be safely ignored. Simple.

The Bible proves people wrote a book about a god. That is all.

THE FINAL GOD EXPERIMENT

Many people believe they talk to God. They may "see" his image in their mind or may "hear" his voice. If you are one of those people, here is a simple experiment you can try.

If you see an image of God, imagine it differently. For example, imagine God with a huge nose, with a wide gap between his front teeth or different colour skin. If you hear God, imagine a different voice. For example, imagine a voice with a lisp or an acent or much higher pitched.

You'll have to make an effort to do this, especially if you have been talking to the same God figure for many years. But after a while, you'll get it. Do it for a week. That's all you need to do. I don't think this will change your relationship with God one little bit. But it might help you learn something.

What will you learn? The very fact that you can do this shows there's no God placing himself in your head. There is only you imagining a God in your head.

Now you know it.

Super Eagles Legend Odemwingie Advises
Celtic Target Onyekuru , Blast Eupen Over Striker’s Future

https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/image-144.jpg

Former Nigeria forward Peter Osaze Odemwingie has hit out at the way Belgian side Eupen are treating 19 year old Nigerian forward Henry Onyekuru, who is wanted by Scottish side Celtic.

Onyekuru was spotted playing in Nigeria and was brought to the Aspire Academy in Senegal before linking up with Eupen who are owned by the Aspire Zone Foundation, in the summer of 2015.

Onyekuru has been a revelation for Eupen since his arrival in Belgium helping them win promotion to the top flight in his first season and he has continued to flourish this season.

The teenage talent has spoken to one of Nigeria’s most successful players Peter Odemwingie to ask for his advice on what should be his next move in his career.

“I have spoken to Henry as he phoned me for
advice and I said to him just think of yourself as
Aspire did not think of the hundreds of kids
discarded by Aspire and who now find themselves back in Nigeria,” Odemwingie told ESPN FC.

“The interest in Henry is great news for Henry,
but I am disappointed about the other boys who went to the Aspire Academy and now find
themselves on the streets of Lagos.”

Trying to force his way through. Russia to Onyekuru while Celtic is on the table is equivalent to refusing to sell him. The club tried to sideline the agent. Left the young man with no choice but fight the only way he knows how. The window is closing.

The club should respect themselves and do the right thing. Why help another agent steal him?

So will his social media stunt help him force his way out? The club can refuse to sell him and it won't be illegal.

WHY DO SOME MUSLIMS HATE US AND FIGHT US?

You may think you know why some Muslims launch terror attacks around the world. Or you may be struggling to understand it. But you don't need to speculate any more because they have spelled it out in great detail. ISIS has its own magazine called Dabiq and issue 15 explains exactly why ISIS hates us. They give six reasons and I'll summarise them for you.

1. They hate us first and foremost, because we are disbelievers; we reject Allah as the one true god.

2. They hate us because our secular, liberal societies permit the very things that Allah has prohibited while banning many of the things he has permitted. For example, we separate religion and state and we allow gay rights and alcohol.

3. They hate atheists because atheists disbelieve in the existence of the Lord and Creator. (Despite the evidence of the complexity of humans and the inexplicably precise laws of nature.)

4. They hate us for our crimes against Islam such as mocking Islam and insulting the prophets of Allah – including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad.

5. They hate us for our crimes against the Muslims; drones and planes that bomb, kill, and maim Muslims around the world.

6. They hate us for invading Muslim lands and fight us to repel us and drive us out.

For the avoidance of doubt, they make clear that these reasons are in order of importance and, even without reasons (5) and (6), they would still hate us and fight us. Why? Because "our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam."

Even if we "were to pay jizyah [a tax levied on non-Muslims] and live under the authority of Islam in humiliation, we would continue to hate you. No doubt, we would stop fighting you then as we would stop fighting any disbelievers who enter into a covenant with us, but we would not stop hating you."

They also make clear their more "altruistic" motivations. They do not fight us simply to punish and deter us but so we can enjoy both the blessings of the worldly life and the bliss of the Hereafter.

But where do they get all this from? Have they invented it all? I don't think so. I think they can find good justification for all their beliefs in the Qur'an. Certainly, many Muslims have no wish to engage in jihad and may overlook, reinterpret or "explain" the passages that give Muslims the bellicose duties that ISIS has embraced. But they cannot take those passages out of the Qur'an and many Muslims find them inspiring and compelling. And that is the heart of the problem.

If you would like to read the entire article (and others that will make your blood run cold), I give a link below where you can download a pdf.

Sam Harris has done an excellent podcast on this Dabiq article and he attempts to explain the appeal of jihad to some Muslims. I recommend it and give a link to it below.

EXCLUSIVE: Belgian club blocking my transfer cries out new Nigeria star Onyekuru

https://i0.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/image-6.jpg?resize=350%2C200

New Nigerian shooting star in Europe Henry Onyekuru has cried out that his Belgian club AS Eupen are now standing in the way of his transfer to perennial Scottish champions Celtic.

AfricanFootball.com exclusively reported that Celtic have tabled an official bid for the Nigerian striker, but it now seems the transfer may be scuttled going by what the player is telling AfricanFootball.com

He has alleged Eupen now want him to work with another agent and not his agency Macato Sports and they want him to move to Russian champions CSKA Moscow.

"Eupen are acting funny on my transfer. They are frustrating me and my agent for their own interest,” blasted the striker, who has taken Belgium by storm this season.

“They promised to let me move in January if I have a good offer, now there are good offers but they now want me to sign for their own agent before I move and they want me to sign for CSKA Moscow which I am not interested in.

“This is unfair and not acceptable."
