It's high time one moves away frm this argument. The goal post shifting is now getting ridiculous.

I'll always blame Ronaldo for coming here. So anything form of criticism he's getting is his fault.

ChristineC:
at this stage of the competition, the aim is to qualify as easily as possible. seeing off Sherrif while barely on second gear must have been exactly how Ten Hag had hoped.
game management is crucial. our squad is short on both numbers and quality. we are barely 16-man strong for such a congested season, many people don't understand that.
there will be many games that will require energy to execute.

Yeah. Yeah

If we like we win 100 - 0 some people will still say we did not play well.

What else do you want?

Are we going back to the days where some people wanted the team to lose so they can say "I told you so?"

Idolo is back.

eph12:
What's the argument again sef?

I don even forget

patrickmuf:
For now, they need to assist in the build up play until we get to our best as a team...

Okay o

eph12:
Halaand can't tell him that. This is his heatmap

check understat.com for proper data visualization. You don't expect him to stand like a stick in one place.

You can see where proper action is

patrickmuf:
Shifting how? Chicharito is another striker who used fo score goals or have chances to score courtesy of his predatory movements around the box...When they are not playing you begin to ask questions of the supply...

Look at Werner for example, when he was at Chelsea he was renowned for missing chances but replace him with most strikers and you begin to blame the rest of the players for failing to create quality chances...

Also, the team structure plays a role. Man City can play with 10 men and dominate most teams so, Haaland with 26 touches won't matter compared to a striker playing for Man Utd, a team that will struggle to dominate an opponent playing with 10 men...

In essence, our strikers should play more deeper?

eph12:
If you tell Pep that nobody should concern themselves with other people's job on the pitch, e fit shoot you

Halaand suppose don die since be that

Expert17:
The technique was good but the pass was a bit wide , there is no way Martial would have scored that.

The pass was going to Halaand. Sweet service for a striker of his build. Martial is not good with arial balls. That's where playing to the strenght of your team mate comes in.

patrickmuf:
That guy is a clown. See how Haaland stretched for that ball and some how baba wants us t9 believe it's the perfect pass...City are very creative no doubt but some of the goals Haaland has scored has been down to his athleticism and superb positioning...

Because he raised his leg?

Did you see the technique in that pass?

You guys are very good at shifting goal post.

eph12:
No we can't

Everyone should do their job on the pitch. It will make life easier. We will get there with proper recruitment.

eph12:
Did you actually see the goal he scored? Did you see the way he had to leap and stretch?

You're comparing a team that is settled in every position to one that is still finding its feet, and you think the striker can afford to be strolling around the box waiting for food? I'm very sure that tears will full everywhere if Halaand was in this team

So we can afford to have midfielders that can't feed their attackers?

Expert17:
Mixed.

Martinez over VVD on current form.

Ronaldo and Casemiro based on name.

They should just choose one. Ronaldo no dey play that place.

Choose name or choose bias.

Expert17:
North's All Stars XI

Present form?
Abi based on name

Mrviktor:
See that halland goal.

He just dey box 18.

Dem send d ball come he score

Simple.

No be d one wey una go expect roaldo to run box to box bks say una wan press.

When football no be bress

Person get only 26 touches for full match. But na praises dem dey sing for Twitter.

Make martial try am.. We no go sleep for this place

You've not heard of modern football? Fluid attack.

"I'm pressing on the upward way,
new heights I'm gaining everyday."

Potters.

He just wants to go where his mates are.

Ballzproblem2:
you must be trolling at this point

Just an "honest" opinion.

Ballzproblem2:
Fred for which team , please who is feeding you this unclean thoughts ,Satan get behind odizeey!

I just like his playing style. He's the Brazilian Kante.

Ibime:
Back to sender.

A manager is not there to work on individual technique. They should graduate to pros with that basic technique already in place

Brazilian Kante

Ballzproblem2:
na if Brighton go sell ,they go don tire for us,oh well I hope potter recruitment guy gets to work.

United got Martinez, Antony, and Ten Haag in one season from Ajax.

I wish my "darling" Chelsea can be like them.

But we can take Fred from United. He also marks well. Potter can work magic on his passing

Karleb:
Only God can forgive Giround for not scoring in that world cup.

Definition of carry along

TeslaFC:
He did all he could to leave last season. Levy didn’t move a finger.

Missed training, stirred up media controversy just to leave Spurs for Man City, but Levy still did not blink.

He is stuck at Spurs till either Levy pities him (very unlikely) or his contract runs out.

So sad. He should try again.

There's always a way.

TeslaFC:
Looks to me like that time has gone. Except he wants to go to Italy.

Kane is still a top striker.

Time still dey. It's his desire to leave that matters. He's not serious enough. He for done leave if he serious.

TeslaFC:
He did what he could to leave Spurs last season, but Levy had other plans.

That six years contract he sign was his issue. Big mistake. He needs a strong agent to rescue his trophy shelf

Borntosmoke:
Giroud to me. How can I be comparing a trophy less player with someone that has won
Uefa Europa League
World cup
Uefa champions League
Pukas award
FA cup 4 times
Italian league
France league

You are throwing away three epl golden boots, on highest assist, one world cup top scorer for someone that could not hit a shot on target in the so called world cup he won

Well, it's your choice.

Borntosmoke:
In terms of achievement giroud is better that Kane
In terms of goals Kane is better than giroud

Who is the better player?

TrebleChamp:
Some people will use He won World Cup and titles as metric, people like Donstan.18 and co....

Kane sha. That one no try for himself.

If he turn pundit tomorrow, na goals them go dey attach under the name.

OLE came and said he wants a striker that can play along the frontline and bla bla bla. People were hailing him. Not knowing he doesn't know what he's saying.

How e end? Feed striker make he score. No be to dey expect am to turn water to wine.

If Halaand came they would have said he does not have good touches. That he can't thrive in "modern football"

Our gameplay has been bad. I can't blame an individual player.

Ten Haag is here. I hope we laugh in the end.

BlaqFaze:
Injuries bro...he was believed to hava broken the "no 7 curse" in his first season

How many goals did he have that season?

That Sanchez deal pain me sha. I thought the guy will hit. First match baba dey drop some nice touches.

That guy fraud us. Mourihno made some funny signings sha
