Jodera:
Lol... I understand you tagged me purposely reason why I did that "tongue out" emoji


And I also know it's not only this thread that condemned it, it was even condemned In Chelsea thread as well and other social handles. So yeah, I know that too

It is ok bro.

Jodera:
Lol..
You dey use local football slangs dey do English?
I know when we were little playing street football, someone who opponent(s) can't brush them off the ball easily is said to have "stamina".

Wrong usage of the word really and that's why m.ostob tell you to consult even if it's google. Nothing concern bulk up and "stamina" in that context Mo.stob was talking about

For someone who claimed to be a scientist, Spy really disappointed me eh. How you go say weight and stamina na the same?

Julian Nagelsmann on Kai Havertz:

"He has a clear job in a lot of games, which goes hand in hand with fact that he doesn't have many ball actions because he should create space for others.

Internally, Kai is ranked significantly higher than in the public." [RTL via sky germany]

Jodera:
I co-concur this

You suppose tag me for this one too

I tagged you on the other post purposely, to let you know we're not the only one on this thread who condemned that post. Nothing else.

Bukayo Saka: "I love Ian Wright, he says so many great things about me, but I don’t think putting me out of position was the solution. We can talk about this, but it is in Gareth’s hands." [@5liveSport]

Ijustwantto:
When ronaldino vex for dem, they said he is drunk. Brazilian players wey don dey gba.
Na Uruguay dey scare me most for copa now. Dem wan snatch am away from odogwu

Na initial gragra dey worry Uruguay. Messi's presence alone will calm them down.

Jodera:
Lol... They can bench them, I no send after all we even need them fresh. I even read Saka is playing through some knocks.

Wetin go weak me na if I see Saka at Lb. That's one of the biggest insult

Exactly...we need them to recover asap. They should stop stressing the boys.

Ian Wright: "You see what happened the other day when we lost to Iceland, if people don’t come out and speak against seeing [Bukayo] Saka in all the papers after playing 25 minutes – all of those headlines – if you don’t speak out, it’s on him, they are going for him.

"That’s the problem we have now, that’s what’s happening, that’s how they do it. I try to not say anything negative about the players, I try to do it constructively, because when they hear it from us, it almost gives those idiots out there the licence to come at players even more," he told the Overlap.

This is for you Jodera

Jodera:
Scholes is drunk if this is what he said.
How many of our Legends aside Wright have said such?

Na Pa Wright cause this nonsense sha.

I just want them to bench Saka and Rice.

Jodera:
Na that South America own deh muse me pass. Home of skillful and flair footballers don dey turn robotics.

Imagine Person like Marquinhos, Raphinha, Richarlison, Antony dey play like people wey grow up for England. It's so sad that prime Marcelo will bench most of these boys.

Na why I no deh watch best of so so player again. Now, best player clip na just goals and runs full am. If na before days you go see mad skills and dribbles

That's why there NT team now looks ordinary. Brazilian teams used to be filled with skillful players. That was their culture. Jesus and Martinelli still dey show flashes here and there.

Ijustwantto:
Na old videos dey sweet pass. I still dey watch Ronaldinho on YouTube up till today and old eclasicco. I no wan make all this yeye players vex me.

Me sef dey watch the old videos on YouTube. As a winger, make you no fit beat your man one-on-one? O wrong now.

Jodera:
Lol...All these issues are because of grassroots/academy levels

Most coaches now are saying the reason why we don't see good players again is because in the youth and grassroots level (and academy), most coaches there emphasizes more on strict tactics and positions instead of creativity. Imagine telling a 5yr old attacker not to dribble but he should be doing positional play and movement. How will such a player learn how to effectively beat his man consistently?
Everybody now is now doing system-system and robotic football and it's really killing the joy of the game. Imagine the dearth of good wingers who can't beat their players one on one in all the whole top leagues just because most of these players are being taught robotic football right from their foundation age .

It's really unfortunate.

This is Argentina coach Scaloni beautifully summarizing it. You can Imagine the reason why we have less and less dribblers/imaginative players and more Robotic players. It's the big reasons the kind of Sanchez, Hazard, Robben have gone into extinction. And if good Wingers are scarce like this, imagine how the imaginative/creative midfielders like them Fabregas and Ozil (creative passers) are getting into extinction and people like Mount are getting recognition. Na why people like Odegaard/Kdb are hot commodity.

It is so sad bro. Football has lost its excitement. Those days when one player go chop mad dribble and you would immediately stood up and shout. The joke, the banter, the standing ovation...all gone.
It is so sad bro. The standard of football has dropped. Even the South American teams that should serve us something exciting are now doing tikitaka.

According to Paul Scholes, Arsenal legends are starting the 'put Saka at LB' agenda because they knew Saka doesn't have any chance against Palmer.

To rephrase, Arsenal legends are afraid Saka might get benched by Palmer. Eii God!

BascoVanVeli:
My brother we have lost to Ghana twice and both times our goals were by the grace of the most high. U can't tell me that u are fully confident of what we have. I even think we should take a couple more U17 girls. Peace Effiong, Taiwo Afolabi and Abidemi Moshood should be looked at. Even if they will not be starters, they can add value to that team. Cv

Well, it is up to both coaches. That two losses against Ghana has a lot to do with tactic that the personnels IMO. And let's not even forget the magomago from Ghana people.
If Chris and Bankole feel the girls can play two tourney, let them go ahead.

Jodera:
Okay, that's cool. Make dem do am for Sambi abeg.

Marquinhos just dey play like average old England player. I understand the talent we saw in Martinelli, but for Marq, I don't just understand what drew us to him

That Marq signing na from connection jare. Edu Brazilian connection.

Same thing with Trusty. The Kroenke's US connection.

Jodera:
Ohh, yeah. Looking at the lists again, I see it now.

How I wish we fit just get player like him again. Chaiii!!

Worst part is that such qualities of his no even dey again

At all... Pep and his people don turn them to robots. You will watch Doku and Grealish and wonder if na the same ball Sanchez played, Dem dey play too.

Martinelli is a bit closer to Sanchez but he doesn't have the brain and the freedom.

jihday:
he want to

Ok

Marjoribanks:
E.g John Stones at City! Exactly my point!
Imagine watching Stones for the first time when Pep played him in midfield!
How would have guessed he is a defender except you are told or you check.

If you indeed watched the game properly, you would know. The team structure while defending and attacking will give you a hint.

BlueRayDick:
We signed this young goalie

Yea...for academy. Arthur has left on permanent transfer and Hein will likely be the third choice next season. So this new guy will be in post for the U21.

BascoVanVeli:
First of all the U20s always come before U17. Plus she wouldn't be the first to do both. Rasheedat Ajibade played in both in the same year. It's not like she will be on vacation if she doesn't go. She will be with her club side. So we might as well let her work with older players before she goes to the U17s.

Well...it is up to her and the coaches. IMO, she should focus on U17 by now. There are players ahead of her in that U20 already.

Jodera:
So we Don comot eyes from Biglow?

Everything na still rumour. Make we siddon dey watch. We signed one Danish kid for the academy today sha...

Jodera:
The only person I would have strictly loved in his prime in this our squad unfortunately is not even in your list.

Alexis Sanchez!!!!!


If you give me an Alexis and a Prime Partey in this team, I don't care if na Havertz dey play Cf, I would be so certain of going all the way next season

I restricted the list to past midfielders.

Alexis Sanchez!!!! That's the name. He is who he think he is.

Jodera:
Let's just hope they Sevilla would be able to drop 10m after the 3m fee cos most of these Spanish clubs no dey drop money at all.

We really no catch gold for that him and Marquinhos signing

Another way we earn money is through sell on clause. We inserted the clause in Guen and Hutchinson's deals which means we're entitled to a percentage from their future sale.

We can do so for Sambi too. Marquinhos case is just a case of being home sick. I don't think he properly settled here.

kendrick9:
Stop checkin stat sheets and watch games with your eyes.
Funny you're the one saying football is boring.
People like you made the game boring.

Your big bro here actually used stats to justify the funny agenda.

elyte89:
Balogun for experience and leadership

That's why I added Omeruo and Ekong though. I don't think Balogun would want to come back again.

Please is this the same Doherty we do talk about here?

Ben is back for pre season.
Ben, Ogbu, Osho should be our main focus henceforth. Ekong and Omeruo should be in the pool too.

Deltamani:
These names are the sure ones that are going to the World Cup but again anything can happen… Coaches Changes/Surprise and Injury cases..!

Yea...let's bring the cup home.

Rumour says we're in for Espanyol goalkeeper, Joan Garcia. He is Spanish BTW.

Amedino99:
kind of their tough luck. The Ranking is for third place teams. The best losers tag is just a decorative name.

It doesn't make sense jare. There is a possibility of teams in a group finishing on the same points so whether you finish 3rd or 4th shouldn't matter when ranking best losers.

Jodera:
We should be buying established stars in a known league and known club. All these unknown "young shall grow" fit no dey work.

What's the essence of buying lokonga only to sell him for cheap after two seasons?

Lokonga was recommended sha but that no mean say no be waste of money. And the guy play well in his first couple of matches.

The 3m is loan fee. Hopefully we fit see 10m from Sevilla next summer.
