The fundamental role of a manager is to improve his players - as individuals, and as a team. Saying someone needs to improve is just a fundamental part of the process.

To think that anyone disagrees with this is just extremely silly. Conversely, to think you are a genius because you "discovered" this is childish.

reccy:



Another agenda resurrected...

In fact ehn?

airmark:
You want me to call a foolish question what it's not? I won't do that, I say it as it is no matter whose ox is gored.

I have asked you to agree to a battle and if you like go and hire a ghostwriter I will change your Nateevs to L ateef.

You still don't understand. It comes back to real life. In real life, Lords like myself don't go and battle with minions like you. How do you intend to pay me for my time?


I'd rather spend the day with a mentally-deranged destitute than give you the pleasure of exchanging words meaninglessly with me.

Let's create a thread for a battle? Are you a child?

airmark:
He jumped foolishly on my post where i highlighted how spending more on our attack than the defence helped us to improve on the log and it got us here.

When you see someone saying you can't mingle with me in real life during football argument, such person is the loser.

Hehehehe. You want to refer to me as a fool and foolish and not expect me to put you in your phucking place in real life. Son, you had it coming.

It was a simple question about Halaand and City, and Liverpool and no striker. It was a strictly football debate.....Then you pivoted, after being caught in a corner and you started to refer to me as foolish and had the temerity to call me a fool.

If you think it's cool for you to do that, then I am coming for you and your ancestors off the bat. No playing.

You had a chance to answer the question without insults. You chose insults.

Skimpledawg:
So, this issue don reach this level?


egbon nateevs and airmark, please let it slide.

All is well until minions refer to Lords as foolish. Then it is incumbent upon Lordship to set the record straight.

airmark:
Foolish people also have connections, and rich people can also still drop stupid opinions on a niche they have no good knowledge about.

You exposed your foolishness by copying foolish questions from foolish posters. I have been suspecting your poor IQ, when you chose Kimbeast and Lordfalcao, as your opinion plugs.

How could anybody be asking foolish question why Man City are not topping when it has been Haaland carrying the team since the beginning of the season when others downed tools.

Only a dolt would be asking such foolish question when support cast like Foden has been underperforming and injuries took away others like Kova and Rodri.

Face your profession, leave analysing football to those with football brain.

Ogbeni sublime before I destroy you with words.

Mr Megedefegede don start with long epistle when dem corner am.

How dare you invoke the phrase "support cast" coined by a foolish person? You see I am not wrong that you aspire to my foolishness.

Suddenly you are using the effectiveness of support cast to bolster your position. You suddenly realise that support cast is the key, despite having a billion dollar striker?

Guess what? I showed you the way for nearly a year and you inadvertently caught up.

Lethargic Airhead.

Goal!

airmark:
They said silence is the best answer for a fool. I refuse to answer a foolish question from a fool, that is you.

My foolishness is several light years beyond your wildest ambitions. It will be a privilege to you and your lineage if you get the chance to mingle with my toenails.

Self-proclamed arbiter of striking position gone mute upon simple question. Alakori Airhead.

airmark:


It's desperation making you to be incoherent and copying foolish question from Lordfalcao.

Android17 will come and answer your question, it's his club and after answering, you can ask me to come and corroborate or disagree.

This might be a shock to you, but we will always copy people who have multiple times the size of your intellectual capacity.

Answer the question Airhead.

Why is City not leading the league, despite having the most reliable striker in the division?

Conversely, Liverpool don't have a reliable 9 but they lead the table. Why?

Explain away.

Sharp sharp hotel.

airmark:
You are too desperate to tackle me, make your post comprehensive.

Leave the nonsense. Answer the question.

Why is City not leading the league, despite having the most reliable striker in the division?

Conversely, Liverpool don't have a reliable 9 but they lead the table. Why?

Explain away?

airmark:
You will need to ask Android17, he will answer the foolish question.

City have the most reliable in the league, why are they not typing the table?

airmark:
Keep on moving from coast to coast, in pursuit of happiness.

Answer the question you were asked. City have the most reliable 9 in the league. Why are they not above Liverpool on the table?

airmark:
They don't have reliable 9, one of the reasons we would have topped them, with a striker that can score hat trick against Epl defending champions, that we couldn't score against.

These are the types of outrightly outlandish positions you take in the face of overwhelming evidence. You just disengage brain as long as it makes a win.


City have the most reliable 9 in the league. Why are they not topping the table?

Explain away.

BlueMann:
Crunch time for Paez and Estevao, with both players set to be involved in title deciders over the course of the next week.

Today, Paez and Independiente del Valle take on LDU in the first leg of the Ecuadorian league playoff (title decider). Tomorrow, Estevao and Palmeiras hope for a miracle in the final match day, needing a win as well as a Botafogo loss. Then next Saturday, IDV hosts LDU in the second leg of the league playoffs.

I have not been able to follow Paez's games. I follow a South American correspondent who reports regularly on both these players. She said Paez has been playing on the right, instead of the No 10 role, because of a new over 30 player Independiente brought. She's saying this is why Paez's firm has dipped a bit this season.

Do you know anything about this?

airmark:
What you are doing can be likened to a kid caught munching a stolen meat and asked why he stole it. Instead of answering he started talking about how other parents give their kids meat to eat and take them out to Pizza hut. Na slap such nonsense deserve.

Obviously you are the fraud here, as your post is a complete paragraph and you should answer the simple question instead of keeping malice with your own post.



I ask again, what's Timbros' stance in the attack vs defence debate that trumps mine a billion light years?

You must not leave Timbros to bear the brunt alone.

You are laughable. You think you caught me? Dude, when I own a position, I own it. If the facts change and I need to adjust my viewpoint accordingly, I do unashamedly. I am not fueled by the insatiable need to win like you. Therefore, I don't need to keep turning Amala because I have to win.

The reason I didn't need to answer your question is because I didn't want to indulge you in your nonsense. You lied about my position multiple times; to a point where others had to correct you with evidence. You ignored, continuing to parrot your nonsense. And now, you are trying to engineer an escape route using the attack v defence debate.

Sir, I was never a part of that debate and I don't want to be part of it, no matter how hard you try. My stance was the same then as it is now - it was more of tactical issue than any particular overwhelming personnel issue.

The keyword here being "overwhelming". Which means that despite my viewpoint, I can agree that simultaneously, some facts on either side of the attack v defence debate can be equally correct. What is not correct is a completely outlandish position on either side of that debate.

For instance, on the no-good stupid "outscore" nonsense arguments, a simple set of incontrovertible facts follow, like: 'no matter how many goals you score, if your defence is weak enough to concede more goals than you can score, then you will lose games'. These are just basic facts. And you will literally need to be screw-loose in the head to argue against this, even if you are on the attack side of the debate.

That was the point I tried to make when I interjected. This was the point Timbros was making at the time, and yes, it trumps yours by a billion simply because you took an outlandish position against this, saying its not true. And yes, anyone can have this point of view without necessarily joining in on the debate. How can you not understand this?

The fact that I have to explain this with this long epistle is absolutely embarrassing.

airmark:
Stop doing shakushaku around the important question with scribbles that can't conceal your shameful support for Timbros in the Attack vs defence debate.

There's a reason i emboldened and reddened the important part of your post, which clearly shows your position on the attack vs defence debate and not another topic as you untruthfully claimed. Maybe you don't understand the implication of the subordinating conjunction, though, you used in your post below. That's your problem not mine.



I ask again, what's Timbros' stance in the attack vs defence debate that trumps mine a billion light years?

You must not leave Timbros to bear the brunt alone.

Again, you are a fraud. This is the entirety of the quote you keep going to.

nateevs:
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.

You constantly exclude the larger point of the quote, by fraud; instead continue to concentrate on the single lines that have nothing to do with the larger point i am making. Meanwhile there are multiple indicators telling you how not to argue. But your cannot resist the urge.


First got said I didn't mention anything about support casts. Then you said I didn't say anything about signing LWF. Now you are saying I didn't make any arguments at all, because I cared to mention that Timbros was making more sense than you were.

Just motherfu**king bold-faced lies in the face of overwhelming evidence.

What sort of human being are you?

airmark:
You no. 1 critique of Sterling? Critique with no consistent request for his ouster? Critique isonu.

Egbon, stop muddling things up and address the issue of your position in the attack vs defence debate.



Can you try your beautiful skill of twisting and turning on the emboldened? What's Timbros' stance in the attack vs defence debate that trumps mine a billion light years?

Let's start from there.

You sound like you never held down a professional job. I expect more intellectual contribution from a suya merchant.

So because I weighed in on a debate between yourselves, means I cannot hold any outside opinions on other topics? Are you this close-minded in the face of evidence?

I just gave you a screenshot from August showing you where I stated affirmative, even before this point, upgrades on Sterling's and Madueke's positions being more of a priority than a CF position but you are still denying it's existence, but binding it to yet a completely different debate.

Do you lack the capacity to understand that one point of view in not contigent upon the other? What is wrong with you man?

Why are you so desperate?

airmark:
You strongly supported Timbros stance in the attack vs defence debate.

That's why I told you, that you don't know your left from right. You talk too much, you argue too much, you lost track of who is who, you lose track of even your own talking points.

You are talking about the number one critique of Sterling and Madueke on this forum..Me?

I am resisting so immensely, the urge to call you the names you deserve. Like seriously?

airmark:
Check below.

Maybe you and Nateevs took ogogoro when you argued blindly with me, for you to be denying now.

Wait, are you again saying that I argued against signing a LWF?

StarchAndBanga:
Have some shame Airmark, how can u argue against this just some months ago and still come to say "I told u so"




When they were drumming the importance of quality support cast to u, this is what u had to say cos all u were after was a shiny new striker (even recommending guys that are not half the player Nkunku is):

He is shameless. The problem is that he spends half his time on here trying to justify he's right on every topic, to a point where he cannot remember all the topics he debated.

Can you imagine the guy saying I am trying to sneak in support cast into the debate!!!!

Like for real? Sneak? 😁😁😁😁😁 A topic he debated against profusely? I need to remind him?

airmark:
You are the one trying to use support cast to steal glory and you've failed. Like I told you, some of us remember things and you can't catch us napping.

Attached is a proof that you took a side on the defence vs attack argument as I replied you in my post. You supported the nonsense balance in defence and attack, that was why you asked that question I replied.

Nothing like balancing, we went all out to reinforce the attack, and now you are smuggling your support cast move that I said wouldn't be enough to beat the best and win the league off City.

You are the glory thief here Egbon and must be arrested and chained.

But you are becoming a fraud sir. You and Dayo were having a conversation about clear cut chances missed and the impact on table standings. How was that a defence v attack debate?

I spotted intellectually dishonesty from you as always, as your screenshot had hidden the fact that City had 40 missed CCCs compared to ours at 49 - only 9 apart.

Then I asked the question, are you saying we would be equal with City on the table if we converted 9 extra chances?

It had absolutely nothing to do with defence or not. Also it was a one-time interjection from me. No historical debate between you and I on this topic. Also, you had to go all the way back to February to go find something remotely close to your fraud, just to justify a stupid point, when over 90% of our debate occurred only during this summer.

Are you this desperate?

airmark:
Good. You argued that attack wasn't our major problem, true or false?

I asked for Sterling to be thrown away and a new LWF to be bought that can dribble and score and Jackson replaced. We got those and failed to nick a better striker. With Gyokeres, we would have been topping Liverpool by now as he would have added goals where Jackson fired blanks and we dropped points.

Tactics' change without change in personnels, is not why we are scoring more. No tactics would have made Sterling useful for us.

My recommendation was geared towards winning the league that's why I wanted a better finisher and we failed.

Concerning the attack vs defencw argument, even recently you posted that Timbros was right and I was wrong. The same Timbros that was against my request for a new LWF.

Some of us have retentive memory so your lie can't fly past your window.

Good lord! You are relentlessly hopeless.

Analyse what I said in singular events. When I post that someone else is right and your are wrong, it's usually because they have quoted something right that I have said. You will not find anything else.

You talk talk talk talk, arguing with 100 people at the same time, so you don't know your As from your Zs.

Me, I was, and still am a support cast guy. In fact, all you have to do is search Nateevs & Support Cast and you will find a plethora of posts.

You on the other hand is still miraculously on this nonsense. In fact, you didn't believe that we would be 2nd in the league without a 30+ No 9. I said over and over, just like the post above from June, it is a myth. WE DON'T!

And look, here we are. But like ever, you are trying to steal glory.


Liverpool are topping the table without a top 9, Arsenal are in the title race without a top 9. But you are still arguing against numbers. Same argument I made in the summer all the way into the season. Now you are here, again, with the same nonsense.

.....except this time your are saying things like "My Gyokeres" ...Your Gyokeres? 😀😀😀😀 You are very hilarious.

You went on record saying Maresca will be making a mistake going into the season with Jackson. I said it's a lie. Maresca is 2nd now, with Jackson and support cast stepping up to the plate. And you are trying to claim how right you are? You are shameless.

What happened to Dovbyk and Vlahovic and Rodrigo fucking Muniz ? 😀😀😀😀😀. You broke up with them and now with your new gf.

airmark:
I know it's uncomfortable for you that like I suggested, we reinforced our attack and we are getting the goals with next to nothing spent on our defence. It's going to be a long hike for all of you who were against my position to spend more on attack than defence.

The major thing remaining is to get a potent striker then we will win the league as that's my target unlike you.

The shame is on you not me as our argument was defence and attack, which was our major problem. All these megedefegede support cast won't delete your position on the defence vs attack argument we had and your position was clear.

I had replied you when you made the same claim to wriggle out of the impending shame.

No strength for repetition.

You are the one talking nonsense. You confuse me with others.

I was the lone voice on this board saying that our problem was mainly tactical and not any overwhelming concentration on attacking or defensive issues.

I followed up by saying that I was not willing to judge any players performance under Poch because he was tactically inept.

I then went on to argue that with a tactically astute manager, defence and attack numbers would be up.

Your defence vs attack debates were with others. Not me. When you see me join the debate, it was purely only on the "outscore" nonsense you were erroneously pushing.

My debates vs yours were purely on the topic, do we need a 20+ goal striker or not? And my position then was that we don't. Still is. And I am still correct!

Having been the only one vocally backing the owners, stating their correct position on sacking Poch, and throwing my overwhelming support behind Maresca before it became cool to do so, sir, I have been the right one on all issues.

Go and check any posts that contradict this position.

airmark:
They claimed I was looking for cricket scorelines, when I asked for the bulk of transfer funds to be spent on our attack.

If we add a killer-striker next summer, it's over for our opponents.

Alhaji, what were you right about? You know how many times you follow me argue say support cast is not the ish?

All goals scored today were scored by the support cast. When I told you repeatedly that all we had was first a tactical issue, and a support cast issue, you were foaming all over the place, looking for 30+ goal striker.

Now we scored the most goals in the PL as at today without having a 30+ goal striker, and you still want to claim correctness?

Airmark get some shame na.

nihilistjnr:
Boys, we're in a fucking title race

"A" being the key bro. Who woulda thunk? I am so so afraid to say it aloud.

Sanchooooo

Good lord! Is this setting up to be a day of regret? See all the goals we missed.

What?

lordfalcao:
no. I think that's on compact plus

Ahh! I didn't realise. Not very familiar with DSTV packages.

Like play like play Madueke 3GA in 2 games. 5 goals now.

Kudos brother. I don drag you a lot.

Goallll
