Turner want to leave, raya is the replacement

Chai...where we want get a good goalkeeper now?

Android17:
The students that started coaching before him or what?

The one he is currently coaching, those he has coached before and those that have worked as his assistant.

Android17:
Yes because Cruyff was a student of Rinus like Pep was a student of Cruyff. Nobody did copy +paste.

Besides, Wikipedia will mislead if they are your only source of research. Tiki taka just means give me I give you. What Pep did with Cruyff's system is he made it more about the positions players take rather than their fixed role. In Cruyff's as was in Rinus' the players advanced the ball together but in short possessions and movement. Pep made it more dynamic.

The point is, one can also argue he was not a student of Cruyff since he never worked as an assistant. What makes manager's create their own lane is what the system is built on. Klopp copies Pep as well but nobody calls him Pep's student because his core was not built on the same positional play even though he stole other elements out of it.

That is why Arteta, Ten Hag, Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Kompany etc are STUDENTS of Pep.

You do know some of Pep's idea are from these so-called students right?

Below Chelsea academy boys who played or play for the first team in recent times;

Reece James
Tega Abraham
Christian Pulisic
Mason Mount
Trevoh Chalobah
Fikayo Tomori


Chuks Carney is 19 and competing with top level player's and played 14 games last season. In the context of the EPL and Chelsea FC that's very good in my opinion.

Your are mistaken in your claims.

Can you compare that to the numbers of loanees please. Let's compare the proportion. BTW, where is Chalobah sef? Such a fine defender but Chelsea went ahead to sign Oboabona pro max.

daveP:
I don't like Dlamini though. But she is miles above whatever that Swart has to offer on such a grand stage. Swart is an eyesore as a goalie. Between her and the Aussie gk, Arnold, i dunno who's worse all rounda.


It again shows that these official lack the ability to know that class different from class. Their pride....the african arrogance is to blame for any abysmal show from the caf reps, esp with such talents at their disposal. Too selfish and dumb.

Swart ke? Argentina again!!!!!! She's been a shadow of herself since the Pk vs Falcons in Accra, especially when Naija guys made her popular cos of physique.

Forget the cruise bro... the penalty shootout convinced me Swart shouldn't have been a goalkeeper. Girl can't even catch a snail.

Toylove:
What other country is the guy eligible for apart from naija

France. Not sure though

naptu2:
Meanwhile there's a huge argument about goalkeepers in South Africa.

Some people say that Andile Dlamini should have been the first choice keeper, but SAFA officials want to punish her for leading the protest that occurred before the world cup, so they ordered the coach not to pick her. They say that she's one of the best goalkeepers in Africa and was shortlisted for African Player of the Year and so she should start.

A few other people say that Dlamini has lost form since the Nations Cup and that Kaylin Swart is doing well as first choice keeper.

I thought Kaylin Swart retired already. Our darling that year

Who dey follow EBL and MIT analysis on Twitter. Those two are boss abeg.

This Lesley move to Chelsea eh... Not expecting something negative but Chelsea as a club doesn't rate youngsters. Na so so loans Dem go dey send you.



Carney is yet to stamp his foot in the first team months later.

Mecka:
The rest of the team is black. She's white

So?

daveP:
Her grandpa and Kuti family have strong ties. Im surprised people are wondering why she loves yoruba songs. Shebi her dad has lots of obey and ksa collections. Lol.

I saw her dancing in one of the videos...omo, be like Monday Gift don dey teach her those malaika moves.

Deltamani:
Her commitment is absolutely amazing and is worthy of emulation….

Ashleigh Oluwadamilola Plumptre....our own

Shegzdave:
If he can score more beautiful goals like like consistently, he’ll be praised and his lack of physicality will be overlooked.

You’re right about Rice being aggressive but none of them is like Xhaka, Iffa hear Zichenko , Saliba Na soft boy joor.. only Gabriel comes close, Someone even said he dhould take up that responsibility from Xhaka cause I don’t like the way Martinez was acting like an unrefined tout in our last friendly match

I get you bro... But face can be deceiving at times. Shey we no go bring back Gabriel Paulista like this. The guy na proper agbero just that he no dey do am with sense.

iamoyindamola:
Let's count it for them na

Oya... congratulations to them. Make Dem use that one hold body till next year.

Shegzdave:
By the time Jesus, Saka and Martinelli press him(esp Jesus with his intense pressing) when he’s with the ball, them will turn him to scapegoat laslas

Shegzdave:
I think goals like this was what made Arteta bought the dude and the coach doesn’t want him to bulk up, when I watched his clips as at when he joined us, he score this type of goal regularly in his previous team but which team will give him space to take such shots..

The goal was I just hope he’ll improve sha..


Seems we don’t have any aggressive player in our team( like Xhaka, Coquelin)anymore apart from Gabriel but he’s not as hot headed as Xhaka

Space!!! That's what Vieira use to function which unfortunately is not available in EPL.

As for your last paragraph, we may have them within the squad, just that they're more disciplined. Rice sef is aggressive. Zinchenko, Jorginho... U dey use one eye dey look Saliba and that mafia leader.

iamoyindamola:
So none of you guys will tell us spuds won a trophy yesterday

You mean inter house sport cup

Jodera:


Man u have gotten their own ball playing GK just like other top teams.

Like a child having new latest first toy after other children's toys are a year or two older, you expect them not to be happy ??

Let dem enjoy their moment joor!!

I really can't wait to see him in EPL.

The hype surrounding this Onana eh.. Dem dey even count forward passes. Like was he supposed to pass back before ni ?

Jodera:
Ahhh... See shots na

Most of our fouls sef na 50:50 something but the ref no just Sabi. Only two or three tactical fouls and Xavi was wailing.

BlueRayDick:
Imagine playing man utd and he catches Onana off his lines

That would be sweet.

Jodera:
Lol... Oh, really?

I no even watch the match sef(I no dey watch preseason games)

E be like say Man u and Barca wan use rough play finish our players

Especially Araujo. His tackles were heavy ehn and he did it twice to both Havertz and Jesus.
We were not even intense. It is just that na broiler football Dem dey play in la liga so Barca can't relate

iamoyindamola:
That guy na over sabi go kill am, epl won't spare him
You will see long range shots against the scummies will increase this season

Na EPL clubs go teach am lesson.

Oldboss:
If u see intensity una go fit stand Any day in any real competition we go beat u blue and Black no caps

Ok

Jodera:
Lol, Xavi never see chumchin

We have Man city to play in less than two weeks if I'm not mistaken and he's still thinking we'll take that game as a "friendly"?

Barca were even more intense. Tackles flying here and there.

milann:
Statue of asisat

Oga this is not a Ghananian thread. Thank you for celebrating with us though.

BlueRayDick:
Nobody is talking about this Viera’s goal…. Maybe cos the guy don too disappoint us sha .

But the goal was

The goal madt but make e dey do am consistently. This guy has a crazy accuracy when striking the ball. The problem is he needs space.

After yesterday's match, I have been wondering if Julian Araujo is as bad as Sergi Roberto. I no go lie, that combo of Fati and Balde terrorised our defence


Imagine having similar energy on the other side too.

iamoyindamola:
Depend what on the kind of foot injury
What training will help a painful foot

Did you read what you quoted? I clearly mentioned conditioning and staying in shape. Training may have nothing to do with the injured part of the body at times. And if it has something to do with the injured part, it will be a form of assessment to determine the extent of the injury.

Xavi: "I understand that everyone wants to win, but I told Arteta that it looked
like a Champions League match. The intensity that they put was too high."



When did Xavi turned to cry baby?
Barcelona is my second team but I don't even have an iota of confidence in his ability.

Araujo's rough challenges on both Havertz and Jesus


Roberto kicking Trossard deliberately in front of Xavi himself


Balde not kicking the ball out when Saka went down.


Who was more intense abeg?

iamoyindamola:
Yes because arteta ain't innocent either
He should grow balls and stop hide and seek method

So to your own eyes person way get foot injury they train na injury oo not recovering

To your question? Yes...

If a player has a slight injury. To prevent aggravation, he would need to train alone to avoid physical contact.


In Balogun's case, his training may not even require kicking the ball. Just conditioning drills to stay in shape.
