European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Mcleo007(m): 12:07am On Mar 02, 2013

The article quite sums it up in its entirety. Look at the seasons before the last; Ronaldo in his first 4 classicos had but one goal (a penalty). Back then, the Barca system had a zonal marking for him; a system that sees him nullified by Alves and Pique. That system ensured a less distraction from the centre backs and full back tasked with seeing him through the game. Over the last games, the situation changed. Ronaldo is allowed so much space and movement on and off the ball, which has resulted in him scoring consistently against us. Some now even call him the Camp Nou King (well, you only hear such chants from newbie fans and charlattans), but then, the consistent deploying of Messi in a central position against teams with a disciplined defence and game plan will continue to be our undoing for as long as we learn from the past errors. Believe me, if Ronaldo gets as half-marked as Messi gets every other day, he'l earn the respect of most feelers who know what it takes to be a football wonder.

Politics › Re: Bill On Allowance For Unemployed Graduates Rejected by Mcleo007(m): 10:41am On Feb 28, 2013

Good move in my opinion.

Reason?
1. There are no fewer dn 200,000 unemployed graduates in Nigeria. How much will they be given and how will they determine when some of them eventually get employed. Plus offering money to them just because they aren't employed is a whole chunk of resource misappropriation.

2. If passed, the system would be hijacked by corrupt persons who would sabotage the funds and share among themselves. Look at pension in Nigeria!

What is needed is a reinvestment of the lot wasted on NYSC and seeing how it can be used to promote entrepreneurship among the graduates.

i Dont get why some of us Cules still rant over the game we deserved to lose. If there is any justice in the world, with the way we played yesterday we deserved to be beaten hands down. As for the penalty, it was well deserved. Pique made a wreckless tackle there and fouled CR. eNOUGH of the half beats. The tone is unispiring.

OT: sEEMS IT WOULD BE A DERBY COPA FOR THE TEAMS FROM THE CAPITAL.

Enjoy the victory comrades, your team played better and so deserved the victory. wink

And speaking Of Varane, that boy is incredible. Looking forward to a good game on saturday, but trust Mou, he's too intelligent to commit a strong squad to challenge us for a needless result. Best of continued luck to yall!

Johnpaul88: I don't agree that our possession football does not work any longer. It's a simple logic - if your opponent does not have the ball more often, they cannot win.
This brand of football is what made Barca so unique in the world and it gives them a special identity. They have won alot playing this way and there is no evidence to show that it cannot work again. It only need some retouching. Barca need to get more defenders to defend set pieces and counters.
For the match, we lacked confidence and it's only a coach that can provide that.

Not minding the frustration we barca fans must be going through now, we must not begin to bit the finger that have fed us fat thus far. Calling our style of football outdated because we lost a couple of games , is simply being ungrateful. We must stay calm!

Like i observed earlier; "Our tiki-taka game should be revised and made more adaptive to game plans of the opposing team. At 0-2, it was so easy to conclude the game was lost. At such moments, it sucks to be a fan."
The total football gave us a long dominance in the world of football, thus making our rating a standard tool for measuring football competence. To beat or hold Barca to a draw is considered a remarkable achievement. Trust me, some coaches and players may even be adding that in their CVs. E.g I am the first player to score back to back against Barca. I was the first coach in 4 yrs to beat Barca on away goals etc. But like every civilization, there's always a time to rebrand. Now is the time.

Johnpaul88: Barca's not officially in crisis. The players are not pointing accusing finger here and there. The Coaching staff 's also calm and i think that's very important for the club and team. The alarm bell is not ringing... They 'll analyse the difficulties the team 's facing and everything 'll be alright.

Talking about crisis, as soon as Alberto Undiano Mellanco was appointed to oversee the match, i partially and secretly lost interest in our chances to win. This Pamplona -born ref has now officiated 3 of the 4 el classico we lost under Mourinho. It's no longer a coicedence that we performe very poor when he 's at the middle. In fact, the only league match we lost came when he reffed us and that was the only time he's reffed us in a league match this season. He's to us what Mike Dean is to Arsenal. I think this is where the real crisis is.

But nevertheless, we need to salvage some pride in the league Match on saturday. Madrid may not be too interested in that match. They'll have an eye in the United match coming on tuesday.

Trust me, Moanrhino is too intelligent to take the league game too seriously. By now, he has the winning formula for us- tested and trusted! He can even afford to field a few canteneros and rest his star players (except CR7 Of course). Winning the league game on saturday is of little or no importance, but they have a higher chance of winning the game than we do.

Yet another game that we deserved to lose.

My thoughts:
1. I never wanted Cesc playing this game. Goal.com best exposed my thoughts about his game tonight with the words; "Had little impact on the game playing in midfield.Would have been better suited to the game had he switched with Iniesta to play in attack." an intelligent would have read that and adjusted the play. Cesc's ability to win back possession is questionable and his pace off the ball is laughable.

2. Jordi Roura is a stooge. He's only good at one role- an assistant coach. And trust me, no top club should/would seek his service for whatever reason.

3. The game was lost on tactical inability on the coach's part. Moanrihno won in that regard. It was easy to predict our starting line up and player position. With Iniesta playing as an auxiliary forward, all that Mou did was withdraw a midfielder to shuffling up in defence and do a quasi pivot in the middle of the pack (successfully shutting down the influence or otherwise of Busquests and still handling the defensive duties to perfection) hence, with Barca playing with 2 creative players in the forward position (Messi and iniesta) and a less threat in Pedro, Moudrid had 2 players close marking them intermittently, thus shutting the space for any form of creative through balls into the Madrid box. It worked well to plan.

3. Our adamant poise not to sign a quality back is our undoing this season. We will suffer more!

4. Our tiki-taka game should be revised and made more adaptive to game plans of the opposing team. At 0-2, it was so easy to conclude the game was lost. At such moments, it sucks to be a fan.

5. With the way we play, we need no soothsayer to predict there's nuffin for us in the game against Milan.

6. Get well Tito! We miss you.

Frostyzone: It's actually pronounced as Ba - Sa. The letter (ç) in the word Barça is pronounced as (S).

Don't mind Nigerians! Baka comes so swift on most people's lips. The other day, i was chatting with a group of people and you won't beleive someone was attempting to correct me each time i pronounce as Basa instead of Baka as they suppose. grin

In as much as I hate to distrust my instincts, I surrender to my defeatist side that we are already out of the competition. With our playing style, tactics and player formation, the chances of conceding a goal or 2 is as sure as the chances we have at turning the tide arnd. *sad* #Uefa #ChampionsLeague

lucynkem: How do you expect a geniun seller to be on nairaland? I really do not think so. My hubby is a mandate and I have never seen him on nairaland or any internet forum. However you could meet some real facilitators, who will agree to connect you to their madate if their commission is secure.
Cheers.

True to your claim, there may not be genuine sellers (product owners/contact source) on the internet, but its a mere cliché though. The bulk share on the internet contains mostly facilitators and few mandates to the sellers. And as someone has pointed out, there are actually few genuine buyers as there are of sellers; so its a lose lose situation. To be honest, this oil brokerage business is so dicy and full of intrigues. One moment, you think you have knicked the perfect score, like a flash on a pan it evades you. Sucks!
