they better comot mind.

Most Balond'or
Most Golden boots
Better goal per minute ratio
Higher number of individual accolades

Let's leave chances created, dribbling and other stats.

It is not easy to play catch up o

Samueltemi337:
To go and do what in the finals?

Google search man

Pidginwhisper:
This goalkeeper just dey go 1 place since. Change position. Goals being scored are simple goals.

As in eh...5 of Colombia's penalties were played similarly

Edafe needed just one job... Score and send us to the final. D"mn it

Why has Alvin not been playing sef...
Na rubbish usani dey play jare

Case closed but why do I feel there is something we don't know going on underground

lovewins:
Ajakaye starts from the Bench

Etim Edidiong gets her first Start

Games starts in 35 minutes

Hope it doesn't cost us sha... We will definitely miss her pace.

Samueltemi337:
SA plays beautifully?
I'm just hearing that now

Oga...it is vivid enough that you just wanna troll. Have a nice day

Samueltemi337:
They said the players aren't able to string passes because of the coach
when Omagbemi comes in the midfield will turn to Barca of 2015

But thses players are able to string passes in their club na. How the team set up and the tactic the coach employs contribute to this. Why do you think the SA teams plays beautifully? They have a coach who understands their strength and set the team up with good tactic.

lovewins:
Again, grasping at straws while at the same time pivoting responsibility to the players.

First in football, goals a largely a function of opposing teams making mistakes. They are bound to happen even to the best team in the world. It is however a Coach's responsibility to manage a game to reduce the likelihood of that happening.

However, since you conveniently want to rewrite history to suit your narratives, I'll detail events as they happened. Prior to Ayinde receiving th red card, we were largely in control of the game, we however were under intense pressure once that happened and even had to clear the ball off the one twice. The 60th minute however, we were lucky to get a goal. Any dummy who has followed football a bit knows we needed a new strategy immediately to soak the pressure especially because we now had the advantage. The players won't make those changes, only one man would. He sadly didn't and we succumbed 5 minutes later. Of course Nnadozie made a mistake, but it was Randy's responsibility to manage the game in such a way that the chances of that mistake happening will be minimal. He didn't.

Again, you're making excuses about players absence for the friendlies, but we did better in th second game of same friendly, only with a different lineup. Again, he made wrong choices just like he did with th game against South Africa.

Make excuses all you want for Randy but we can see through it.

Lemme add that leaving a tired Onumomu on the pitch was also a disasterclass from the gaffer. She wasted a lot of balls and couldn't keep the pressure up at the final third.

Roland17:
I am not saying the players should protest at the refs or that a protest will lead to a PK...naaaa. What I mean is that if Jesus/ Tierney had gone down considering the legitimacy of the contact/ fall, the ref or VAR ref would have asked the ref to come take a look or the ref would have been forced to consider that contact, that is what I mean when i say the incident will force the ref to make a decision.

VAR reviews incidents and we have seen instances after a call has been made the ref stops play and goes to the monitor because VAR is telling the ref there is something to be seen here. Saka's incident was an easy call, from the angles I have seen, he dived and I believe VAR also saw that and supported the refs decision.

Oh... I get you now bro.

Jodera:
Really??
Never heard about this oo

Though it was reported that the club is expected to respond.
It's shocking.

Jodera:
Arsenal needs to stop being fair. I think we're getting there cos I'm seeing the traits small small but we need to act fast.

We need to master the "dark arts". Jesus had no right holding on especially when the push/pull was much

That's it bro. Imagine Jesus had fell in that first half and started rolling on the ground holding his neck or whatever and the players running towards him. The ref sef will think twice.

Roland17:
Naaaa.. You still have to force the ref to make a decision. The Jesus/ Tierney incidents would have forced a VAR review because they were more compelling.

Irrespective, it is a known fact that you force the ref to make a decision. If it goes otherwise fine but you don’t leave such opportunities, especially when you are seeking all 3 points.

That's the tricky part bro.
When the players protested against the ridiculous red card awarded to Gabriel in that Leeds match, the team was fined for misconduct. That's to tell you forcing the ref to make decisions may not work at times.

Spy360:
And yes exactly what is making him suffer and others like Saka, Martinelli and Xhaka are enjoying the benefits.

Spy sef....

His first goal against Leceister and his assist for Vieira in UEL are perfect examples.
Earlier this season, we were able to create a lot of chances because we didn't find it difficult to break teams down no matter how resilient they are. This is due to how flexible our attack was. Remember the way Martinelli and Jesus do interchange. Now, when last did you observed something of such?
The problem is not because Jesus doesn't stay in box but because he has become rigid.

AndSunGorilla:
Goals win games!!!! Therefore if goals win games, then we can infer that we can judge the quality of a striker by his ability to score goals qed.

Ability to score goals is not as important as doing it consistently. Goals may be the primary objective but most coaches nowadays are also interested in secondary objective — what you bring in apart from goals. QED

Roland17:
We are just too honest

The same thing with Tierney who should have gone down before he attempted a cross in the cancelled Odegaard goal.

Force the ref to make a decision

Saka did it but he was yellow carded for diving. The ref was sh"t abeg

Culer:
Mate, a top manager leaving laliga to the EPL is not good for Spanish football.

And what rivary are you talking about? Villarreal can't even compete for the league title in their wildest dreams.

Oh...ok then.

As for rivalry, Villarreal was a strong team with Emery so we can't just ignore the threat they might pose in la liga

The greatest mistake flamingos will make is thinking Colombia will be an easier ride because they ousted US.

zuchyblink:
Onuachu has not moved to a bigger league because of his place of birth,age and value. No club in Europe is ready to buy 28 year old Onuachu born in a country with negative reputation of age cheating at 20 to 30 million euros as he is rated.

So it is no more his age, it is now his place of birth?
I'm done here man.
Peace

jpmoriarti:
Unai Emry leaves Villarreal to join Aston Villa

One of the few good coaches in the league, leaving.

Not good for Spanish football.

One rival down bro...one rival down. You get it?

�️| Jesus: “I spoke with him [the ref] after and he said ‘if you go down before maybe I can give a penalty.’ But I think I was fair, I tried to hold & keep standing & tried to finish the action but in the end he grabbed me & it was impossible, so I go down normally.” [@arsenal]

At this rate, if a defender kicks you deliberately on the face inside the box and you no fall down, no penalty.
Jesus needs to stop being fair

charlesemeka85:
mane nko wey join Bayern nko?

I even forget that one. If you're 50 years and you have what most coaches needed in a player, Dem go dey rush you ni...

charlesemeka85:
not at all, his style of play na wetin mk no big team don near am

Gbam!

zuchyblink:
his age and value is the reason why he has not moved to a bigger league

Age ke? Onuachu is 28. Do you want me to give examples of players who moved despite being within 28 yeas old? Auba, Partey, Lewandowski, Balogun....
Age is not the reason he has not moved sir.

AndSunGorilla:
Oga mi, has FIFA changed rules for how games are won?

No... Your point sir?

Ladies and gentlemen.... Unai 'Good Ebening' Emery is back!!!


To Aston Villa this time around.

yinkeys:
Goal output per season
Facts

Can you drop their stats here please. Their goal output per season specifically.

Samueltemi337:
what has dessers done to be ahead of Onuachu?

Onuachu not making the SE squad is mostly because of his playing style. Same reason he has not been able to move to a bigger league. Simy is also an example. So you people need to stop judging players based on goals only.

typicalgamer:
You know nothing of the business end of football this is not an insult my friend.

Guys like who’ll say City got Halland for cheap

Haha....I'll be ready to learn. Why do you think Barcelona spent that amount on Lewa despite his age? They just sold some assets and needed to recoup part of it ASAP. Now, tell me....which EPL striker do you think would help them generate revenue through marketing?
You seems to forget how much Barcelona got from the Lewa's shirt sale.

Like I said, I'm willing to learn about the business end of football sir.

JayromWrites:
Okay then.

English can be complicated

The argument was about EPL strikers (in he last 10 years) having more popularity than Lewandowski.
