Utterly useless team that is Arsenal...Most useless team in London except Fulham, may Ogun lick your balls if you quote me and chat shit...

HanksAnuku:
How is hazard the better player this season? How?

Stats don't lie, but interpretation of stats is subjective. Guy I'm the one who said Hazard is in the same bracket at Ronaldo and Messi talent wise. My allegiance is clear

But if even Chelseafan1 can cuss hazard this season, then what I'm saying should come as no great surprise

Hazard has had a great season individually. But his stats have flattered to deceive.

Look at Aubameyang and Lacazette. Lacazette has only 13 league goals, but 9 of those goals were the ones that sealed the win for his team. I think Auba has 16 or 17, not sure but only 3 of those goals won the 3 points for his team.

This is what I'm talking about here. Not pumping Huddersfield and Cardiff then clapping your hands.

Salah is DIRECTLY responsible for 1/3 of all Liverpool's wins this season. That's not stats padding by scoring unimportant goals

See what happened when we last faced them. Hazard was playing rubbish, while Salah was shooting golazos. After the match Hazard went to be joking with Salah sef. I felt like slapping him.

At this point of the season where goal difference might possibly decide who makes it to the UCL or not, every goal is of importance. Talking about the stats, it's only now that I'm seeing folks look deeper than what the stats suggest all because Hazard is involved, when Dayo and his minions were brandishing stats (goals + assist) last season, nobody asked to know how many of those goals actually won points. I assure you next season, the table will turn and you'll see guys turn this argument on its head.

You almost beat person pikin o!

Hehehe heat of the moment...

diggz:
Bwuahahahaha....see vexation

The thing vex me sha!

odizeey:
that's why I am saying nobody gives you award for your wrong of choice team.

But Hazard has had a better season thus far, the stats says so...

HanksAnuku:
Since when have Liverpool had better players?

How many goals did Hazard score playing alongside Costa and Fabregas

How many goals did Hazard score playing with Mazacar or Lampard

How many goals and assists did Mane and Firmino have last season, when Salah was running riot? Compare to Willian, Pedro, and Morata and the numbers are very similar. Why did Hazard not match Salah last season then?


Bros rest abeg. This is not one of those arguments where you can claim the team is better as an excuse for Salah outperforming Hazard.

Salah gangan IS the team.

What exactly is the argument about, Hazard is clearly the better player this season, stats don't lie.
Talking about quality of players, when Hazard played alongside Fab and Costa, Chelsea won the league and he had a great season in the process, let Salah do same, let him win a trophy.

odizeey:
so mane and firmino are now the gods of soccer. Story. They should be giving world best based of overachievement too na.

My post is quite clear, I only highlighted the quality Liverpool (You can add City) possesses compared to Chelsea and United just to let you see that Salah has the advantage playing with better players. Imagine Hazard playing alongside Mane and Firmino who on their own are formidable, don't you think he'll be doing much better? For a clue, look at VVD at Sutton, for all his excellent defending, Sutton were still shit but a year and a half after, at Liverpool and with better players, he is making the UCL team of the season and a strong contender for player of the season...

Hazard has been better than Salah this season, it's pretty evident. Hazard plays with Pedro, Willian, Giroud, Higuain who have nothing on Mane and Firmino... For me, Hazard is overachieving with this Chelsea team just like Pogba is overachieving with Manchester United.

andrew444:
I will take Epl teams serious when they dominate Europe for the next 5 years starting from now

Still using the lens of comparison...Every league is interesting, it depends on your preference.

femiti:
Only if you stop crying for a second

Whatever makes you happy.

andrew444:
The battle for the 4th position is useless ,Arsenal man united and Chelsea are bang average that they are scared to win a game in their past 2 outings

Argue about the top 2 and the performance of EPL teams in Europe this season. That guys post made no sense as this year, EPL teams have really improved.

femiti:
You must have cried alot last night ...elekun egbere

Don't be unfortunate.

barackodam:
Game week 34

La Liga

No team has been confirmed relegated yet.


Game week 31

EPL
Huddersfield relegated

Week 33

Fulham relegated.


Yet, EPL is the most competitive league

I really don't fancy all these unnecessary comparisons, you just pick the metric that favors you. I'm sure if you look at performance in Europe (UCL and UEL) you'd say the English league is right up there this year. Also, the battle for the EPL is fierce, it looks like a fight to finish, the battle for the 3rd and 4th position is also intriguing as a loss or draw could see a team in or out of the UCL places...

I am happy you guys are beginning to treat Liverpool like the threat they are, one very important player in that Liverpool set up is Robertson, he is their version of Alba, if his overlapping runs is curtailed, then the chances of Liverpool and Mane in particular hurting you is 50% reduced. With the right set up, Barcelona will prevail.

BykeLaByke:
De Gea ain't been the same since encountering Messi on a cold Tuesday night at the Camp Nou.

He's been poor since the world cup...I guess it's time he moved on or maybe his contract situation is Making him unsettled.

Kagawa10 and Afrodoc, I appreciate the conversation you guys are having on our young players.

You guys shouldn't mess things up, my money's on the line and to be honest, my hard earned money and not angel's money.

Lana1:
I never said he wasn't.

That's just me stating the obvious. At this point, I am one leg out of team Martial fc

Greatihex:
did you see angels during the match?

You didn't see Angel Son? Are you sure you watched the game?

Lana1, I hope you have been watching Son, left, right or CF that guy will give his best...He is better than all our forward players across every position up front.

raumdeuter:
Pep was brought in to bring City dominance to the English game and he has done that in his second season setting records and waiting for pople to break it

You're a barefaced liar...Before Pep, City won the league with Mancini and layer Pellegrini, so your lines makes no sense, winning the league with record points still counts for a league title and not two so, Pep hasn't better Pellegrini yet...Tell him to win the UCL or be forever referred to as a fraud, fraudiola

larride:
In the words of the great sage Ser Dayo


He was brought in to molest the EPL. The same EPL that pellegrini won in his first season

Even Raumdeuter knows it's the truth. Pep was signed for the UCL and not EPL, a local trophy according to Dayo

Before you come here and say City will win the league and FA Cup, add the Caraboa cup, remember he was brought in not because the league was impossible but to win the UCL.

Eruditor:
What is the correlation? The ATM that lost to Juventus is it the same one that got to 2 finals simply because it is the same Simeoné? I don't understand the point you are trying to make. Where was Poch's counter in the last meetings losing 3-1, 4-1 and 1-0? Simply say you are praying for City to go out. That is understandable. But as for all your conjecture above, ok. Please don't give excuses when Tottenham get bundled out. For e.g, don't say Kane was injured or that one got red card etc. Thanks.

Let's discuss shall we?

Son is just as serious an Attacker as KDB is an AMF, dude shoots when the chance presents itself, passes when necessary and tries a take on when the possibility is there...The most dangerous Spurs player.

Son is still the one Spurs player I want at United, he is deadly, a pity Trippier and Rose are shit.

Angel Son playing for City.

I will still keep Martial, he has it in him however, he is going through a bad patch. I don't know but our coaching crew should start working on the players individually rather than as a group, it's ridiculous that from here we have pointed out time without number that Martial doesn't attempt to make runs in behind as he hugs the wings often times making it easy for the average fullback to deal with him yet the coaches don't seem to be working on that aspect of his game.
Not every player is like Ronaldo and Messi who look to improve on their performances game after game, for some of them, you just have sit with them everyday like babies to review their performance, give them that psychological boost etc. It's painful in reality when you consider how much they are paid but we need to manage them or cut our losses which I don't think the board will be happy doing especially for the young talents (Martial, Rashford, Lindelof etc)

As a team, there's a disconnect between our defense, midfield and attack, no synergy whatsoever and that's why we look drab going forward and very easy to play through. Often times you see Rashford pressing and Lingard and Martial are not in sync same thing with our midfield. It's also the case when you see Martial running at the opposition defense yet our full back will just stand waiting for him to perform some kind of magic. Movement is a key component of modern football, it is what makes Barcelona and City so dangerous, most of Messi goals where he appears to have dribbled 3-4 players are made possible because of the movement of his strike partners.

Just got outta jail...Young is a disgrace, to think he was a winger is even more annoying...

Eruditor:
Even if I am a fan, I try to be objective. Pep is not trying to win a game and leaves KDB and Sané on the bench till the 89th minute nor does he play Fernandinho and Gundogan with only Silva as the creative outlet. Or leaving Mahrez on till the 89th minute as well. He gambled that is my only conclusion. And this "virtual" away goal everyone keeps giving Spurs in their calculations. I don't know how it works. It is easier for City to win 5-0 than for Tottenham to lose 2-1 at the Etihad. If Tottenham were to qualify, trust me, you will see Angels on the pitch playing for them.

Which Angel played for Atletico Madrid when they dumped Bayern out with Pep as the coach?
Spurs are very good on the counter and if Kane doesn't recover in time for the return leg, that should see Lucas start and with his and Son's speed together with the passing ability of Erikson, City should have their bags packed. Poch knows how to set up his team to counter Pep.

Son, Alderweireld and Erikson have all been immense tonight.
Son is still the one Spurs player I want at United.
