One of the few things Mourinho was right about


https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/23330815

Lmao!

Europa league is so useless that before UEFA revamped it and ensured direct entry to group phase for its winner, top teams that dropped into it from the UCL usually play a weak side and they regularly get knocked out.

The competition is so useless than a team that makes it to the UCL group stage earn more than the Europa league winner.

Jodera:
2 of those 3 are important... Stop lumping all together as if they're same levels.

Europa is the only competition no big team would love to retain and participate the next year... Facts!!!

In fact, why it is alluring presently is because its winner is guaranteed champions league group stage... Else, it would have been another carabao cup nobody send

Chief, free that guy... I am pretty sure he is just catching fun and doing some mental gymnastics.

runtime:
Lampard loaned out tomori and kept christensen and rudiger who cost us fa cup final and top three last season, this itself is a sackable offence but we choose to let sentiments cloud our judgements.

Maldini recommended tomori who is making a step-up.
chelsea - 8th position.
ac milan - 1th position.

WTF is 1th position?

Mehn na clowns full this shekpe thread.

Who should I compare with? Allegri or Emery?

1. Emery won Europa league thrice, if not straight. Beating Klopp in one of the finals and also lost a finals to Chelsea.

2. Emery won Ligue 1 title with 5 French domestic cups.

3. Emery has never been relegated as a manger[I stand to be corrected]

In all, Klopp has managed for 20 years with not more than major trophies than Emery.

Are you serious??

One UCL is way prestigious than 500 Europa league titles. Every manager before and after Emery that coached PSG after their Qatari takeover won a league title. Garcia's Ligue 1 title with Monaco carries more weight that Emery's Ligue 1 titles.

afrodoc2:
Yes he looks decent so far. I first noticed him cos he looks like his elder brother who is at PSG.

Yeah! I found out he is brothers with the Diallo dude at PSG after I noticed him against Liverpool. Them BT analysts are lauding my boy, he had a really good game showing spatial awareness and good covering for them fullbacks.

NextD18:
I now get your point. But then, achievements are the major things that speaks for managers to be considered as legends.

Klopp is still coming up in that aspect, A manger with 4 major trophies in 20 years neva reach.

Make we know the levels we place these managers abeg.

In 2 years time, he'll be considered as a small boy to Flick too.

Klopp have proved his capability as a top coach by achieving the following;

1. Winning the EPL with over 95 pts
2. Winning the UCL and also losing two finals
3. Winning a league title in a country with a dominant and perennial league winner in Bayern

NextD18:
Lampard has a better head to head result against Mou, is it safe to say he's better?

"over a large sample size"

You missed that key phrase.

@afrodoc2 and other guys

If you are watching the Assnal FA cup, look out for Ibrahima Diallo. He might be the next top player that Soton will blood.

He was super tidy and impressive against Loserpool, showed close control and very good press resistance for a young midfielder.

Ibime:
97 goals and assists in 7 years. Help me divide.

This is for a passenger who does not put in defensive shift.

Hahahaha... this line brought back memories of JayZ Takeover..

Four albums in 10 years, nigga? I could divide

NextD18:
Since Mata left Chelsea in 2014 for ManU, he has scored 50 goals with 47 assists since then for manU, that's about 97 G/A.

No Chelsea Midfielder has reached that tally since Mata's departure. Yet he's a flop for manU according to one LampFraud fan.

If Mata flopped for ManU with those stats, then no midfielder in Chelsea has done well for the past 7 years.

Facts only!!

Leyqute:
With the way things are looking, the league will be United’s to lose.

For one, no top team is playing fantastically well. Our strikers are misfiring, Liverpool’s strikers are misfiring, Man City has no striker and Jamie Vardy is also missing chances.

No team is in good form or shape. Their play has been lethargic and players look fatigued, TBH. Everybody. We’ve been playing 3 games every week or so since December.

Only Leicester’s midfielders are still bustling with energy, it seems. However they don’t have much quality when compared with other teams. J. Maddison has been bailing them out with his outstanding performances.

Liverpool haven’t scored a goal in 4 games or so. Since they mauled Crystal Palace 7-1, they’ve hit the net just once. 5 games, 1 goal. Plus they’ve got injuries. Their woes are well documented here.

Man City are starting to turn the corner. They have been winning games where they haven’t performed well and even players who have been poor are starting to recover. The Villa game was very tight. However, kdB’s injury will be a blow to them. Plus their run of fixtures for Feb/March is not pretty.

Manchester United have been off form for the last 3 or 4 games. Our attackers are misfiring and even Bruno sef hasn’t scored or assisted in 2 or so games.

But the thing going for us is that we’ve been managing to win games despite all these. Pogba is the reason we’ve had 3 wins and a draw in the last 4 games instead of 4 draws. Plus our run of fixtures for the next month or so looks okay (not easy, just not really tough).

If we can keep on wining and put enough gap between other teams , by the time they sort themselves towards the end of the season (like 8 games to go) we can be far ahead and uncatchable, such that our last few games won’t be of much significance.

Amaka and the players better not bottle this. They can win the league. They have the capacity to- unless their head is not correct. Only individual mistakes from players and coach can cause kasala.

You call the manager Amaka and in the same breath want him not to bottle the situation... lol, na wa oh

Lmao!

Klopp go para tire today

Omo Burnley no gree for Liverpool o.. dem dey defend with them lives

SyIvalord:
I was expecting him to remove martial for Rashford and also bring in an extra midfielder. I don’t know why it took him so long.

He must have wanted to go for another goal to kill off the game. Cavani had a good chance that was saved by Areola, it would have prevented that additional time onslaught.

CapitalCee:
I noticed they dropped intensity immediately he went of. Its remaining for that Dias to be injured to and then stage go set

Cancelo is another very important player for them, at a point he was playing like a midfielder/winger combo. Dude is a baller.

handelex:
AWB

AWB actually settled into the game in the second half. The belief in the team is growing game by game, a proper title challenge and a cup will do a great deal for the confidence of our players.

bantamx:
Oga with the way things are going this season I doubt if the winner will reach 80points.

City will get at least 85 pts. 87 pts should win the league. 14 W 3 D 2 L should be our minimum target and that should net us 85 points.

The problem is apart from Liverpool and maybe Spurs with Mou's park the ball tactics, I don't think any other team can beat City.

CapitalCee:
3 points bht very poor performances.
Excellent performances though from Pogba, Cavani and Shaw again.

How cavani has applied himself with workrate, intelligent runs and mentality is the problem we are having over the years. Martial and Rashford leading our frontline needs a review.

Ole need to just get Halaand for any amount.

Chief, just collect the 3pts and move on. Fulham practically parked the bus for two thirds of the game. We created chances and won the game. There were some poor defensive plays but at least we didn't lose the game.

Bailly don craze finish

Ole commot Greenwood bring Matic or McT

Pogboom

Mrviktor:
This bissaka boy ehhh.

I just pray dalot improves at AC Milan..

He's useless in the opposition box.. God damn..

We need something better from him attacking wise

Dalot has been playing more of LB for Milan since he got into the first 11 this month.

This AWB can't take us far o... I don't know how we paid 47M for him

odizeey:
Greenwood no dey game.

How e want take dey game when na mad man dey behind am

Make this AWB no put us for trouble las las

AWB is a modafucka!!!

Maguire missing free headers... smh

BlueMann:
Dean Smith sent off.

The problem was that Rodri dispossessed Mings from an offside position, but that doesn't count as offside...I think.

What was Mings thinking... immediately he brought down the ball it became a new phase and Rodri was no longer offside.

McGinn.. wtf

Grealish is a baller!!

City is just a crazy team, squeezing life out of Villa like a boa constrictor. Villa's rearguard have been blocking every fůcking ball.

City dey ball abeg!

They suffocating life out of Villa like a boa constrictor.
