Ka ma paro ka ma jale, Chalobah talk true here.

nitrogen:
I think Anthony is in charge of VAR today. Sorry it’s Michael Oliver.

I think Antony is the ref while Michael Oliver is I. Charge of VAR

KdB puts Napoli 1-0 up against Inter. Simultaneously pulled a muscle in the process or something. Limped off with two physios beside him. Looks like a serious injury.

They escorted the guy inside box

😂😂

BlueRayDick:
As Una no dey appreciative say Una no want draw, na so Sunderland kukuma withdraw the offer paste Una wetin no good.

Chelsea refused to believe that half a loaf of bread is better than none. Lol

afrodoc2:

It’s a “makanaki” something

BlueMann:

Leyqute:

Tosin was glued to Brobbey doing nothing for 3 whole seconds before he gave that assist.

WON SE KARNIFA!!

raumdeuter:
Shey Werner wey dey Leipzig now and sitting on the bench

Abi Sancho wey spend half season in Dortmund and scored 2 league goals

That’s the result of PTSD of daring to return to the PL.

Werner had 14 G/A immediately after his return to Leipzig in 2022.

raumdeuter:
Why didnt Mane Coutinho or Palhinha dominate at Bayern since they came from the physical epl

Why did Sancho and Timo Werner flop in the EPL go to the BuLi, tear up your farmers league, and the come back to flop in the PL?

raumdeuter:
Like Palhinha did or like Coutinho did or like Mane did

Like Sancho, Kagawa and Timo Werner.

raumdeuter:
Cunha Grealish Mount Isak who were bought from EPL teams that are struggling with their new teams are they no longer physically strong?

Watch them transfer to the BuLi and terrorize your farmers.

raumdeuter:
Why did Isak Cunha Maguire Mount Grealish who were bought from the same EPL used to the physicality of the same EPL still struggled? While players like Ekitike Haaland Dias Gvadiol Saliba Gabriel who were bought from outside click immediately

Were those players physically weak before they came to the EPL? Or did they have enough football intelligence and technique to compliment their physical fraility or not?

How will Haaland aka “White Jambody Lukaku” struggle in a physical league? Lol

andrewbaba44:
Oga Matheus cunha found the epl more easier than other leagues he played for despite the physicality

I am sure because of that we can say those leagues are more stronger than the epl ba ,since you no wan agree with me

Failed logic. Bad example.

Cunha played in BuLi as a teenager and was barely 22 when he played for Athletico Madrid in La Liga. He was nowhere near his peak.

And it took him 3 years with Wolves to become the player we all know today.

He didn’t “find the EPL easier than other leagues”, like you said. He merely developed as a player and is now hitting new higher levels. No evidence suggests he won’t be Atletico’s main player had he stayed on— cos the grit and talent is there.

If you’re talking about players from other leagues who became an instant hit with the EPL, Fernando Torres, Zola, Henry, are better examples. And those are proper ballers with bountiful talents and aren’t easily bullied physically.

True....but!

The EPL is the best league in the world no question about this but it's not an extraterrestrial league. My theory about football is that if you're a good player, you'll perform in any league. May not happen immediately but with time you'll show your level. EPL is best because they have they best players and most of these players were purchased from other leagues. Most of the best players in the EPL are all imports.

Defenders like, Milenkovic, Yoro, Timber, Califiori, Konate, Romero, Van Der Ven, Tomiyasu(pre injury), Ruben Dias, Malick Thaw etc...Dean Huijsen was not a regular at Juventus/Roma until he came to the EPL and bossesd it. Ruben Dias came directly from Portugues league and immediately won the premier league player of the season.

I agree that once you're here, you must step up physically, mentally etc in order to match the level but if you're good/focused, you'll do well eventually.

From Serie A, defenders like Lucumi, Ndicka, Plavlovic, Batsoni, Bremer, Kossono, Isak Hien may not really feel out of place in the EPL. They're physically very dominant with good pace/passing.

No disagreements here. You need to step up in one way or another when you get to the EPL, especially if your level is not on par with the league.

We’ve seen non physical players excel in the EPL- Mata, Silva, Ozil, etc. But their positioning and football intelligence was on a whole level of its own. This complemented their lack of physicality

If you’re good enough, you’re good enough. Surely. But if not, you definitely have to step up. All those upcoming talented defenders in Italy, don’t be surprised if EPL clubs buy them in the next couple of years. The money in the league is gargantuan.

andrewbaba44:
You Kuku don make am easy for me

As writz and so they struggle na so average players like Ekitike and woltemade Dey find am easy

The best players in the epl are still players who came from other leagues ,so make una calm down abeg

Haaland Bruno aguero any many others found it easy than the so called epl experienced players they met there ,should we even talk about defenders who came from other league to become the best in the epl ?

As for Gykores he will surely get good numbers for arsenal at the end ,and I hope you aren’t expecting Portuguese league numbers ,he won’t even get such in the French league

If you are good you are good and you will flourish under the right system ,spare me all these physicality and faster talks


I rest my case

Ignoring the physicality and speed of the EPL when almost every imported player (and even manager) have attested to it is just being ignorant.

If you are good enough, you will find a way to deal with the physicality and speed, and excel nonetheless. If not, you’ll flop. Simple.

andrewbaba44:
The first frame na when Man U still Dey ball

And so??

The second one nko?

But that’s by the way. Wetin concern your post with the fact that Serie A defense isn’t like it was?

Every time you quote me na straight up antagonization. Didnt even take a time to put things into perspective

Cocony:
Despite thrashing Inter Milan, PSG conceded a total of 15 goals while Inter Milan conceded a total of 16 goals(5 of which came in the finals) and Inter played 15matches while PSG played 17matches altogether.

No be today.

Roland17:
I will respectfully disagree and this is coming from an ardent follower of the Serie A for decades now. Right now, if the comparison is against the EPL, we are still behind. A better argument is that the Serie have a good crop of promising young defenders capable of becoming world beaters in 3-4 years. Defenders like Scalvini (Atalanta), Bartesaghi (AC Milan), Comuzzo (Fiorentina) Kossounou like you rightly put (Atalanta), Pavlovic (AC Milan),

EPL teams will buy those upcoming talents

PDPGuy:
Lmao
I understand your point. But I’m favor of this proposal if goals will no longer be chalked off because the attacker’s big toe was always of the last defender.

The focus will only move to the defender’s big toe or the attacker’s heel. Drama no go finish

andrewbaba44:
I don’t know why someone will say osimhen isn’t epl level

I think that epl level talks should stop this 2025

Even players like Ekitike and woltemade wey I no even rate ,both are finding the epl easy

Is the epl hard ? Maybe yes ,but if you are good you are good under the right system

It won’t, and for good reason too.

From watching the games you know that theEPL is more physical and faster than other leagues on a whole.

To survive, incoming players often have to elevate an aspect of their game, be it physicality, technicality, or even football intelligence.

So, while players like Wirtz and Gbokeres struggle visibly (cos they think they’re enough), you see others like Xavi Simmons upping an aspect of their game while the Woltemades and Ekitike thrive. Those last 2 propbably saw the league as a challenge and were prepared to rise to the occasion from day 1.

For all the players I mentioned, the jury is still out tho.

JJ Gabriel has started training with the first team. He might make his debut this season.

Una dey disrespect Osimhen sha.

Airmark will be quiet small tonight

nateevs:
Estevao playing 9. George on the right. What better time to try new tactics.

Ireti cooking practical

If Liverpool like, they should score all their goals today. Brentford dey for weekend. All these chances Frankfurt keeps giving them, dem no go see am against Boko Haram Brentford

Florian Wirtz 2 assists… against his fellow farmers

MorataFC:

Why nao?

To keep the trend alive 😀

Na only Chelsea red card remain now for this match to be perfect
