Noniiiiiii

Madueke has shut me up. Nuccah's nailed down that v right wing.

Goalllll

FBS:
Obviously you need to outscore your opponent to win a game.

Out-defending the opponent does not necessarily win you the game if you don't outscore first

You can take that to the bank.

Don't understand why some people think say na only 1 team get right to score? Never mind say we were quite lucky that the second goal was given.

Goals, Goals, Goals is the main currency of this game called football. That's the result of the game.

Let's get some more goals please.

This theory is based on the assumption that we haven't already outscored the opponent. Where exactly do you draw the line?

If you go out to concede 3 goals in every game, then you are saying you expect the team to score 4 goals every game. But how realistic is that?

I wonder how the defence can cope, when stupid attackers be conceding 2 goals minimum per game.

Shit attack.

EmmanuelScott1:
Chai this defense

What defence?

Na attack.

We cannot defend shit!

Ice cold Palmer.

airmark:
My post wasn't directed to you bro. Didn't even know you had any argument on Haaland and Jackson.

You missed the point. I am saying no one had any such arguments. Not me, not Lordfalcao, not anyone else. What would be the reason that anyone compares Halaand with Jackson?

My point is .....it will be extremely stupid for anyone to engage in such arguments; therefore, there is no need to accuse anyone of doing it.

airmark:
And some people said we don't need a better striker that can score.

I won't be surprised if some Chelsea fans like Lordfalcao and his friends, rate Jackson above Haaland just because of his workrate outside the box.

City conceded a goal, but they replied with 4. They weren't crying why the defence conceded to fvcking Ipswich. They know that you win matches by outscoring your opponent.

You don't have to be OTT with your point. Saying you won't be surprised that anyone would rate Jackson over Halaand is attention seeking, and only goes to show that you don't quite understand the various arguments put before you. You should read what I said about Halaand before he went to City.... so let's pipe down.

Bluelines69:
Minteh is mint, how do Brighton keep doing this

I swear it's beautiful to see. Before long, they are parading another potential.... every single season.

airmark:
Well, maybe because he understands that Jackson is wasteful and his legs are not straight, that's why he didn't trust him.

If Jackson couldn't score the empty net below, then there's little support cast can do for him.

So with one picture, you argue that you support Sterling being banished for not making the right decisions in front of goal - for instance, passing the ball to Jackson for a tap in. But at the same time, you use the same picture to praise him for having the gumption of not passing to Jackson, because he knew Jackson will not score.

Citadel of Airmark. Anywhere the spirit leads.

Airmark talking about a player wrongly backed by someone. Funny.

Airmark spent one full season telling us how Vlahovic should have been signed by Poch. Now he's removed this one from his long list of strikers that should be signed.

Before then, it was Bellotti this, Bellotti that..... Now he wants this to disappear the affiliation like we didn't all see it. And he's talking about someone backing the wrong player.

As always, I leave this part to Dayo and Lordfalcao They have a list.

airmark:
It's not about any win, but correcting the faulty premise you are arguing on.

I posted it several times long before now that a serious coach would chase Sterling away from his team. Fraudiola wasn't a fool and Maresca must have seen the nonsense he played for us last season.

What's funny about this is that you just posted two pictures showing two instances where Sterling could have isolated Jackson for a tap in on goal, taking him to 16 goals for the season. Meanwhile, if you dig deep enough, you will find at least 4 extra instances where this could have happened across the length of the season.

You have inadvertently made an argument that a better 'support cast' than Sterling could have had Jackson scoring 19/20 non-penalty goals last season.

Full circle.

Baba, my argument with you and Timbros was: Attack and defence - Which is the major problem?

The transfer window's activities have given you and Timbros the deserved L, so I don't understand what you want me to listen to again from you?

I asked for more more funds to be spent on our attack and it is done. We may spend around 200m on it and I am not sure we have spent 50m on our defence.

Our last game showed that support cast means nothing when your striker is working at cross purposes. Once your wingers are shut down and you have a wastepipe like Jackson topping, it's DOA. So, i wasn't surprised that we fired blanks and many called for quick purchase of a better striker.

We have upgraded our attack with better dribblers as I suggested. However, without a prolific striker, teams will just deny us enough spaces, defend their flanks religiously and hope to score 1 or 2 and steal the maximum points.

Maresca will be stupid not to get a striker better than Jackson in front of goal. His recent actions show that he wants that important surgical operation in our attack and finally getting a prolific striker, is the cherry on the cake.

Just like Mikel, I want us to compete for the Epl title and not just aiming at top 4. We have spent over 1bn and shouldn't be thinking like Aston Villa.

Alhaji, you have confused me with someone else. I never joined your attack v defence debate, even though I did acknowledge that Timbros' stance trumps yours by a billion light years.

Me I no chop any L. My argument has always been simple. It is financially profligate to spend £80m/90m on the likes of Vlahovic and Dovbyk (and all these other yama yama pipu you keep recommending) who offer no significant upgrade over Jackson. For that manner of money, dude should be coming with 25 non-penalty goals per season minimum. If we listened to you, we would have Vlahovic on the books now, and you will be telling us we still need a top striker.

Second argument was that if you like, spend £120m on Osimhen, if your support cast is shite, then in the best case scenario, Osimhen will score 30 goals and we still finish 6th.

Similarly, and to buttress Timbros' point, if you like line up with Halaand and Osimhen and each score a goal every game, if you concede twice as much, your strikers count for naught.

So na you dey imagine L o. I no know wetin you dey talk.

Airmark, you should listen to me a lot more. I told you that going into the season with Sterling and Madueke was more of an emergency than the striker position, and any manager worth his salt - especially one who values positional football and trained with Pep - would realise immediately the garbage we are displaying in wing play.

The ruthlessness with which Enzo and the club have dealt with this confirms which department is more of an emergency. So we went out there and got Neto and Felix first.

These managers know that from a game of numbers, you can achieve top four consistently without a £120m striker, if your defence, midfield and wing play is top notch.

Anything else, and you are just Tottenham with Harry Kane.

The team is now top-four ready. We can now go out there and complete Airmark's wishes, if we find the right deal.

Caicedobets:
If Felix scores up to 10 league goals I will deactivate

Bro. I will be careful about this promise. I follow yab Felix on here, but it is a different team now, and different manager. Anything could happen.

We could very well line up like.....

Tosin Colwill Viega
Lavia Caicedo
Palmer Enzo
Felix Osimhen Neto

.... and you are talking about something completely different.

Leicester look well drilled. They will do well in the league.

Vardy!!

akwesenana:
Vlahovic sha.

No way! Vlahovic missed a good chance? You don't say.

airmark:
We entering season with Jackson as our main striker again. Wonders shall never end.

Chelsea are in the hands of Lordfalcao, Timbros and my oga Nateev.

Why are you calling me sir?

Lavia missed a full season of football. He's still not 90min fit. We need to protect him. We don't have to win this game to have a great season.

Who's going to stop them?

Rudiger wan define new role - attacking CB.

2-0

Na dis same Bellingham play for Southgate o. Craze manager.

Bad miss.

Lookman just turned spectacular level in one season.

Omoluabi16:
That will not be on his terms though.

These contracts are never single-page agreements. You will be surprised the number of clauses and triggers in said contracts. Both sides will be protected wella, in the event of anything.

You think if Palmer won't leave if he makes 25G/A per season over the next 2 seasons and Real Madrid came in for him £100m and £300k/week wages.

Samu's deal falling through is a good thing. I couldn't watch Guiu's performance this PS and be conformable for him to be sent on loan.

Guiu stays.

Caicedobets:
the way colwill keeps receding when facing speedy wingers instead of being aggressive and tackling them head on shows why he is a fair weather defender..

Veiga is very different from him

The decision-making involved with being aggressive/ regressive on an advancing opposition is a function of intelligence and spatial awareness, rather than lack of brute force.

We saw Fofana go aggressive on a player today, leaving space behind for Thuram to exploit and score from.

This is not how you judge good defending. But I do agree Viega is different from him.

BlueAngel444:
Colwill against Haaland 😳, I would risk it would Renato.
3241 against city considering preseason as well
Fofana Tosin Cucurella
Gusto Lavia
Madueke Palmer Enzo Nkunku
Jackson

Jackson could start if it's too high a match for Guiu to start in, but based on fitness Guiu should start same reason I picked Lavia instead of Caicedo.

I agree with Guiu starting based on match fitness. But there's a potential issue with Lavia and Enzo starting. We would lose solidity in midfield and DM. Also tracking back is an issue.
