hensben:
You are bias, James is a better player and RB than Cancelo. Cancelo had his best year at LB, a makeshift position. He wasn’t even starting for Portugal in wc. Pep system shielded his flaws as a full back.

E no really consign me if James is better than Cancelo.

My own is that in this argument, Pep's system made Cancelo look great meaning Pep isn't a fraud as opined.

We've been told that Conte, Eddie Howe, Lampard are all better than Pep.

In another argument, Pep is winning because he has world class players in all positions and he's a fraud. Make Una continue....

The insignificant piece of sh*t you called club is owned 100% by a foreigner

No soul in London can stake a claim on chelsea

This meme cracks me up all the time...Lmao!

Such a small club

FirstbornWds:
Don't underestimate Auba please. Till he came and left Liga, no other player outscored him.

When Auba came, we were starting to get our sh!!t together. For Dejong, he was so criticised. I also called him training cone especially in the game against Bayern(Koeman period). But the mental strength to turn things around by scoring crucial goals and signing out as a hero is what I'm looking at.

Auba, Paulinho all did well, but all things considered, Dejong just about edge it for me. Let's not forget that he's an average player at best while Auba though past his prime is somewhat world class.

Nilon:
did you watch riquelme play? They say he was a true No 10.

I watched him. His style is similar to Aimar, Pastore, Ozil. He was a Pure 10!

Top player who was ruined by the stubbornness of Luis Van Gaal.....

andrewbaba44:
Players who won our heart in a short period

Paulinho is my favorite here though

Luuk De Goat for me. He came when we are just pure shit and won so many points for us with crucial headers.

Paulinho played with Messi and Suarez but he also did well, but Luuk is the one for me. Man had some serious clutch performances.

Bimffo:
At least my club is not selling club properties to sign players.

Useless club with useless players and useless fans that only became relevant because of Messi

Baba mi, it seems you're either misinformed or ignorant.

Barcelona is a fan owned club since 1899. Your club, a very small club at that who's UCL count is not up to that of Sergi Roberto have sold their soul, spirit and body, not once but twice.

You and your ilks need serious rest on the matter. As a Chelsea fan, you have absolutely nothing to troll Barca. Like nothing.....

Go and win your 3rd UCL title then move on to the 5th one. Then we can have a conversation.

What a small club.......REST!!!

Apart from trophies, eddie howe is better than guardiola.

I can tell you that there are athletes who are faster than Usain Bolt just that they're yet to be known or discovered. One day, they'll all be known, God willing.

There's this guy who plays for my local team here in Omole phase 2. From what I've seen, he's better than Messi and Ronaldo. His only challenge is that there's no opportunity for him to go to Saudi Arabia or may be Europe.

I think Zidane is better than Ferguson just that he didn't spend 60 years at Real Madrid. If he can return and stay that long while adding a couple of league titles, there'll be no debate. He's on 3UCL, Ferguson is on 2 and already retired.

So yes, you're right. Apart from trophies which is the sole aim of playing football, Howe is better than Pep.

Any other popular take?

dominique:
I hope it's true o! I'm still trying to see the sense in plunging millions of people into losses because you don't want politicians to bribe voters and you want to impose silly cashless policy. When you don't want to be unfortunate.

Dominique dey vex ooo

FirstbornWds:
Well understood. However, he didn't actually do it much yesterday. And let's not forget that this is his first start since October.

I saw him play some nice football yesterday n I was also impressed with his tackles but you and I know he's Achilles heel is contesting for balls aerially.

Yes, na why I wish he can be tried in the DM position even if it's a friendly game just to see how far.

There's no better passer in our defence than Eric Garcia, he's very smooth on the ball. Off the ball, he's somewhat a liability especially in the air.

Wiki and Transfer mrkt shows he's 6ft0 but Masherano 5ft7 and Puyol 5ft10 won more aerial duels. If Garcia cannot work on this or
be tried in the DM position, then he should leave ooo

Just my opinion sha...happy Sunday!

FirstbornWds:
So you too think Eric wasn't more than decent yesterday?


Omoh!!!

Chief you're aware that we're operating on a very thin line and this game is all about margins. If it was Hernandez Hernandez or Lahoz, the bear hugging style defending would've resulted in a clear penalty when the scores was 0:1 meaning two points dropped.

He was decent but when you're playing in Europe top 3 league, you must keep your concentration level and that's beyond being decent. You simply have to be good enough and Garcia clearly isn't good enough at this level. There's a reason why Xavi played Alonslow as CB and left Garcia on the bench some matches ago or so.

He did okay, but must stop bear hugging style defending at this level...he has already given away two pens or thereabout this season.

andrewbaba44:
Where is fraudvertz favorite position ,just give me the answer first then I will give you yours

And harvetz is no more a youngster

The question he's asking you is very simple and straightforward though.

What he's telling you to do is to show us the champions League of Pedri and Gavi. In truth, both have none and are yet to win anything significant so any valid arguments right now will always be against them.

However, Thiago Almada the legendary World cup winner who played just about 6 minutes or thereabout is far greater than Harvertz who was grouped in his last mundial.

According to FIFA, World cup is greater than any competition on the planet.

Harvertz no get world cup medal but Almada get am. We were told by our convener that world cup is all you need. That's why Dibu Martinez is greater than Oliver Khan.

In summary, Almada>>>>>>>>Harvertz...

Argue only with your world cup GOLD 🏅 medal!

OhBritannia:
People should stop blaming Raphinha, it's just his first season, give him the benefit of doubt and remember at a time modric was the worst signing in real Madrid but he ended up winning a balon D'or.

Barcelona should keep Raphinha and the fans should be patient with players like Fati, Raphinha and even ferran Torres.
These kids will soon rule the world.

One of the reasons why Barcelona took a dip in the years past is because of the players we sold because the fans were impatient and the club was desperate.

Sometimes players needs time and soon if the fans and the Coach can give this player all the support, he will pay them back with good form.

Cules have faith, these players will come through.

Ferran lacks alot of things(Pace, dribbling, heading) to rule the world but context matters though. It all depends on what you mean by "RULE THE WORLD"

His greatest asset is movement and positioning. At this level, that's not enough, not even close.

If he can do half of what Pedro did for Barca then I'll consider him good enough. Right now, he won't start games for Brighton.

Pedri aka Midri doing his thing

Culer:
He's finished. Make dem andrewbaba44 still dey live in delusion

I'll wait till he's 22 to conclude if he's finish or not. Right now he's giving me serious Bojan vibes but like I said I'll wait for him.

On our defence, Eric Garcia is just not it. Man is a walking penalty with his bear-hugging style of defending. Who thought him that style? Na wah ooo

Where's that spineless Busquets?

Hoely Boehly showing us that anything is possible in football.

I'm not sure you can even offer 8-year contract in football manager.

Up Chelsea!

2ndchildhood:
Tottenham will rather loose than see Arsenal fans happy.. the Hate is on a whole different level.

The game has nothing to do with Arsenal. Totenham gave their best but City are just better and dominating the game as expected!

raumdeuter:
Trailing from a 2 goal lead within 20mins

You dey mind comedians

Rudiger and Boateng won the CL on the field

When will Thiago Silva win the CL on the field

This man, na 2023 we dey ooo Lmao

Meanwhile.....

MacAlister>>>>>>Owen Hargreaves, Ballack, Kimmich, Goretzka, Lampard, Gerrard, Oliver Khan.

FirstbornWds:
Araujo... Right back?

Lol.. Na people like you full this current Chelsea board.

Watch one game, conclude on a player and pay once.

Na why una day pack bums upandan

I been dey think say that guy no ball sha....man talks way too much dammn!

hensben:
Tchoumeni didn’t play that’s why.

Just look at your excuse man.

Who cares about TooMuchMoney? Is TooMuchMoney more important than Valverde, Benzema, Modric, Kroos, Cortois, Vincius and the rest?

Injuries, suspension are all part of the game.

We're in the Europa League because we missed Aruajo and Christensen I hope say e make sense now.

There are no excuses for failure, Madrid lost, simple!!!

jpmoriarti:
Vinicius Junior vs Ronald Araújo tonight:

- 0 shots
- 2/5 dribbles completed
- 22 passes
- 0/1 crosses
- 8/19 ground duels won
- Lost possession 22 times

This guy sha, Vincius must be wondering what he must do; at some point during the first half of the game, he moved to the right wing because of Arooko

Only players with magnificent close control and pace can beat him 1vs1 right now e.g prime Neymar, Dinho, Messi, Robinho, Salah etc. Felix once use his close control to put Arooko on the floor sha but that was then

Vincius is always going for pace and physicality; zero chance he beats Arooko with that.

Faber:
Messi's era is officially over at Barcelona. Xavi have beaten Ancelloti and Real Madrid in three out of the last Clasicos. Xavi just won his first silverware as Barcelona coach since his appointment 14 months ago. Congrats Barcelona, Congrats Xavi. Visce el Barca. Man United fans can keep underrating Barcelona until Barca will shock them

Barca will shock who?

Manu and Barca na mate for football?

Barca that used FC Zebra to win two out their 5 UCL titles.

No be only Man United na Woman United

Starz825:
i just pity you and xavi......

he na just dream rubbish

madrid will always win a final against barca, not because we are better than barca, it just that the cup will always find it way home

Home is always where the heart is...

Messi won the world cup, Barca use Madrid win super up.

You must be in SIFIA banter level pains

Araujo get beef with Vini.


Nothing anybody won tell me.

Vincius Vs Araujo na meme at this point

Aradugbo dey body am like pikin

We were told that Madrid don't lose finals but Barca won so Madrid were not really interested in winning the game

Gavi MOTM!

Araujo Vs Vinicius is like; Bugatti La Voiture Noire Vs Volkswagen

donstan18:
We’ll one day discuss the uselessness of Kovacic.

This guy sha...Lmao!!!

jpmoriarti:
We're playing very poorly defensively. Always allowing Betis to get a shot away. And that defense also lacks height.

Raphinha adding absolutely nothing to the game so far. Easily dispossessed and never beats his man.

Our midfield, very good on the ball but disorganized once they lose possession.

Lewandowski, lethargic and sluggish before his goal.

Only Dembele had a good game in this first half.

For the first time in a while, I think we're doing well. Midfield looks pretty fluid. Betis is a good team, we can't always dominate all teams.

Our best front 3, our best midfield 3, Christensen and Balde for Roberto and Alba and we'll look very solid in defence.

Early days but I like what I'm seeing from the boys

Hope we win ooo

nihilistjnr:
Why won't I show up.

Ororo has won more UCL and then international trophies than the fraud, so in my opinion la poolga is still playing catch-up.

Not like I rate Copa anyway but go on....

Chief I was just laughing at the comments you made in your thread. You've made lots of comments but to be precise, I'm talking about the one you asked "Pessi" fans to stop talking about "Pessi" after his world cup triumph.

All na cruise and banter but like say Messi lose this world cup eh, you for troll till eternity and your comments history supports this assertion.

Meanwhile, in your opinion, is La PoolGa still playing catch up?

In addition, since you no rate Copa, I hope say you rate world cup

Happy new year ooo!

OhBritannia:
The two have to go and If fati don't step up then he has to go too.
Though i still believe in fati though.

Barcelona isn't a team where players are given chances, if you can't step up then you leave.
How Barcelona went from Ronaldinho, Deco, Etoe, Henry, Messi, Ibrahimovic, xavi, iniesta, Suarez to this current shambolic players is still surprising and alarming.

Where did we get it all wrong?

There's nothing wrong with the squad, we got nothing wrong. If anything, what we did wrong was hiring Xavi; who came too early.

We spent lots of money, improved the squad with what the coach (Xavi) asked for.

He's the problem, not the squad. Give a good coach our team and watch us play.

Kilishihunter:
I honestly want to see more of this kid, My biggest highlight of the match alongside araujo before he was subbed off

Won't happen, Xavi wants to renew Busquet which means

Pedri, Busi, Dejong.... starting

Subs.....

Gavi, Kessie, Tore/Sergi Roberto.

The only problem we have is Xavi...he thinks he's Pep!
