Kanye west played for chelsea




Don't mind me i have been there before fvcking auto-correct

That audacity eh...make my own phone dey dictate what I should type.

On this Jorginho matter, I already expected all these. One reason why I was against his signing then was because he was never a DM. At Chelsea, he had Kanye mopping up his lapses but Arteta is trying to play him as a lone DM here. It is never going to work.

Jodera:
I don't need to bring stats or whatever on ball wey we both watch not too long ago.

Even all rating sites gave ESR a very high rating(different sites o) and Havertz was the poorest in all the whole site amongst our first 11.
I guess they're all so bias against Havertz and love Smith Rowe(and others too)

Moreover, I dunno which backlash you want us to give ESR when he hardly plays any match. Match he started, played well and gave assist is whom you want us to give backlash to? Na wa ooo

You sef know say everybody dey receive backlash for here if you no perform whether you be favourite or not.(Martinelli, Saka are even examples)

If Havertz is receiving Backlash consistently, then it just means he's not doing something right. Let him do something right and let it be obvious, even his strongest critics will surely acknowledge him.. If you are in doubt just look at Sod with Rice

Why bringing Havertz into this again? I mentioned Nelson too in my post just in case you forgot. I'm not disputing the fact that Havertz has not really been impressive. My point is what exactly are the other bench players playing?



The ESR you're referring to here is the one we all watched two seasons ago. Someone who benched Martinelli FFS. If his performance last weekend was impressive to you, then you're just being bias. Fact is none of them turned up...Nelson o, ESR, Havertz, Jorginho, Kiwior but na only Havertz we dey talk here.


As for the bolded, the backlash has a lot to do with what the media is feeding us and his Chelsea reputation. That's not to say he is not without one or two stinkers since he arrived here though.

Jodera:
Lmaoooo

Speak up. Bring his stat or whatever. The reason he is not getting any backlash is because he is our favorite here and because of his past exploits.

Spy360:
Your problem is that you are still stuck with '90s football.

These days the idea of positional play has moved from the traditional methods where you think the no 9 has to be the goal scorer or the no 2 is a fullback and has to run along the touch line. You need to look at what a player is told to do and how he goes about doing it.

I have said that while Jorginho and Partey are both DMs, their roles differ. Jorginho is usually asked to drop in to the back three when we play from the back. He positions himself on the RCD during buildup. His role is basically to transit the ball around the back three. This is unlike Partey who is more like a play maker from deep apart from his defensive duties. If you are thinking Jorginho will e making defense splitting passes from deep who will wait for years because that is not his playing pattern.

You are right and wrong at the same time. Yea, both Partey and Jorginho differs. Partey do drop at the CB too. The difference is that Partey like to hold the middle. You won't find him at the wing or ahead of the middle circle during buildup. Jorginho likes to roam to create fluidity which exactly is his main issue. He is not always there whenever you need him.


Partey would still stay and secure the box during counter attack but Jorginho will approach the ball carrier instead. That's the difference between the two.

BlueRayDick:
At this point it appears Jesus is not even our first choice striker anymore .

I just hope the news of Tony coming is true. Reports said his deal was 'finalized' together with Raya's in the summer.

Let me add that Jorginho did his bit yesterday. I am one of his critics here but we need to say the truth at times.



And I don't see how any of the goals were his fault. Our attack let us down yesterday. Shoot? No... Cross? No.


Just passing aimlessly around.

daveP:
Trust the process
But never ever trust Arteta's thinking process. It's warped.

Arteta trusts Harvest and Jorg but can't trust Nelson and Patino?? Lol

Na wa o...we lose, Havertz, we draw, Havertz, We won, Havertz.



Now tell me exactly what Nelson did yesterday. Almost everybody here agreed Patino was too fragile and raw to play in EPL.




We are all too fixated on Havertz that we didn't notice the stinkers other players are dropping every week. ESR that played last weekend, aside his 6 yard assist, what exactly did he do? Martinelli was brought in to change the game but baba kept doing backpass.


The earlier you all realize Havertz is not our main issue, the better. Make una leave the guy alone.

3rd Betsy Obaseki Women Football Tournament Final

Edo Queens vs Bayelsa Queens


https://fb.watch/o2pF3unDBv/?mibextid=v7YzmG

I wonder why they didn't use the stadium. Western boys playing field is too chaotic and local.

Deltamani:
Omor forget it Deborah Abeodun and Onyi Echegini will definitely own the SuperFalcons Midfield very Soon, they’re very good at their Age and I like how Commanding they’re on the Field..

This is undisputable but we're talking about the global podium. Any of our players who has the potential to roll with the big girls when it is time for the global awards.

Danielnino00:
Gentlemen,ladies, good evening.
Given that there is still one more international window left before the end of the year, it's only right to begin the process of voting after it. However, other activities have to commence before the real voting.
I believe that many of us here have one or two things we are doing that keeps us busy at times, so there will be no hurry. We will take our time to do it well..
The calendar of events are as follow:

November 3- November 8 : Voting of members od the nomination committee
November 8- November 11: Validation of election into the nomination committee
November 12- November 16: Selection of award categories by nomination committee
November 20- November 25: Selection of players for each award category by nomination committee
November 27 - December 4: Voting of winners by all Nairlanders
December 8: official announcement of winners

Weldone bro.... We dey follow gidigba

Emile Smith Rowe misses out on tonight's squad due to a knee issue.
[Arsenal]

The CAF award nominations are too predictable.


Bonou, Morocco and Walid might just grab the most popular ones.


Senegal and Cisse are also in contention if WC performance is not heavily leaned on.

daveP:
Oshoala headed goal like something from Manchester Derby last week. Bernardo to Haaland

You sha like reopening a sore wound.



Man U fans are quite much here bro.... try dey forget some things abeg

daveP:
5 attacking, 3 in centre, 2 CBs. I said that up in my initial post now. 2 as CBs. But that is not the Actual game formation. The actual is 4213 or 4123. Yeah, the FBs will fill up that space or stay wide.


That's why i said na only personnel dey. So na dream for now.

Ok... Nice formation though..

TheSuperNerd:
It's Official. CAF Awards 2023 has been fixed.

Get set for Osimhen's Enthronement as Africa's Best.

Awards ceremony to be held in Morocco.

You have been blinded by emotion. Your technical insinuations are all based on bias, emotive prejudice and falsehood. In the practical theory of here and now, I don't see Osimhen clinching that award. He will not even start for a bottom team in League one. I wonder how you analyse your game here.]

Odunayaw:
Complainers Association have nothing to say about the Falcons game?

This thread sha

That one no be match abeg. No media coverage...we had to rely on a private individual who streamed the match on Facebook. Our girls playing like pregnant cows. Ethiopia girls wearing baggy interhouse sport kits. So shameful

hatakekakashi:
Lol, you're very right. Ronaldo does not pretend, he must talk his mind. And he hardly bothers about criticisms that follows

That's bad. For a player of his status and experience, one would expect some maturity and professionalism.

daveP:
If only we can go the modern way. But if na local coach, Error Server not Found tinz


Play in a 4213 set up but attack in a 532 format, with 2 defenders left behind in case of any counter against us. As it stands, the middle has just the exact personnel to play that. Na the manager kon be the crux. For now, one can only dream.

532 is a defensive formation. And if you're talking about 352, that means one of the FBs need to invert or go wide. I don't think we are there yet.

daveP:
They're still using this 1996 stretcher in 2023?

You no see as Rofiat stood up sharp sharp. To prevent story that touches.

andrewbaba44:
Speaking out of context as usual showing your illiteracy

Bellingham wey dey play close to the box ,more like a false 9 ,even the new formation is affecting Vinicius

Na every season Barca dey play Madrid and both team dey loose so what’s there to be worried of when the season is even still fresh ,unlike your useless Manchester United sinking even after spending 400M ,even at the Manchester derby you just be like Luton town vs mancity

Make I add jara for you ,take a look at your useless sore looser after Messi won the ballon d or yesterday

Now cryyyyyyyy

Ronaldo is too childish. The guy dey behave like a toddler wey dem deny puff-puff. He can't even pretend for once. So shameless

Bannedlargedx2:
Messi has just used ojoro to win 2 ballon d’or and everyone is quiet about the obvious cheating. The man has stolen haaland and lewandoskwi award in 2021 and 2023 respectively. In what village is a whole ballon d’or awarded because of 7 games? Why didn’t they follow the same metrics in 2010, 2014 and 2018?? I think Messi is the GOAT but I don’t condone cheating others for your personal glory. Let’s see if CAF change their own metrics this year

Go to Court!

isan:
Dem go soon score Nnadozie from 35 yards

Uzoho is not the one between the post bro..

daveP:
Make we see new breakouts to hype abeg. Linda is 19. We need one in age bracket of 18-25yo. On pitch is no longer consistent.

Maybe Flourish will later flourish. She is the only one I can mention now. Debbie is doing good too but let's wait and see how she perform as a pro.

Everything about this match is just hilarious.



Ethiopia who are partially out are wasting time.... self acclaimed professionals playing like pregnant cows.



The referee blowing nonsense.

daveP:
If she like make she score Hattrick, imo her days are wounding up. And that's me being sincere.

Person wey suppose don get seat belt. We don pamper her too much. She is supposed to be our star girl fah.

Former-Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe has revealed Eddie Nketiah messaged him for shooting tips ahead of this season.

Defore said he was impressed with the 24-year-old’s willingness to learn and so he helped him on his finishing and movement inside the box, despite the North London rivalry.

Defoe on Nketiah: “I thought you know what, I like that because that’s a young centre forward that wants to try and get as much from other players that have played the game in that position as he can. Someone who wants to learn.”





I talk am...I have been wondering about that his third goal. It was so strange.

Princezibk:
what day is the match pls I guess tomorrow

Yea tomorrow. 4pm

komekn:
Is Chukwueze better than Tella , with end product and more effective in creating scoring chances

Let them compete and the best players be selected on merit alone.

You need to go easy on the bitter leaf soup bro...

BykeLaByke:
Thinking about it...

Enrique never wanted to make him the first choice keeper over Bravo until Ter Spastic ran to the media to cry.(Major reason why he's a media darling and is never criticized)

Every member of the old guard has called out Ter Stegen for being a horrendous goal keeper

He had beef with Suarez cause Suarez called him shït to his face.

He had beef with Messi cause Messi also called him shït to his face.

This man must be licking off the wife of the Kng of Spain for him to still be employed by Barcelona.

Also...which serious goal keeper gives a shit that their hairline is receding?

#TerSpastic Out!

All these things wey you talk, you pull it out of your *coughs*... you know na.



You nor get evidence

andrewbaba44:
I will say this and I will say this with my Full chest ,the only gk that’s currently better than mats is courtois and then maybe Allison ,but it’s still 50/50 between him and the Brazilian

Courtois sef...his height is actually an advantage. Only Messi Sabi his mumu button. Just place the ball between his toro.

BykeLaByke:
This was last year...

Every team knows Barca has a shïte goal keeper except Barcelona themselves.

Every goalkeeper have their weaker side. For right-handed GKs, their weaker side is always to their left. Even, if you placed a curler to their left, they will punch it with thir right hand. That doesn't make them sh*t. It is just a natural issue.



That said, Every goalies do pass through a purple patch. Rrmind me how many clean sheets were kept by ATS last season. What of the countless number of times he has bailed us out?
