On what grounds is Rashford starting ahead of Hojlund/Amad?

EBL is a fraud...I can not wait to read the breaking news of his sack.

Ellexy:
Na with this kind talk this man go take end Pep era at City? Top 4 talk....

E say na try and aim for top 4...If I catch EBL eh!

Cross River State here.

I will rate Governor Otu 5/10...He has given Calabar a facelift but the State is much more than Calabar. If he replicates what he has done in Calabar in the other LGAs then I'd rate him a 9/10...There's always room for improvements.

CrystalTiger:
So Shaw might magically get fit for Euros 😠

It's crazy. If he plays all the games for England then it shows he just didn't want to play for Bin Laden and the club...Nothing fit deceive me, Shaw has to go and practice in another team.

afrodoc2:
I didn't know Southgate still had some sense.

I am very happy but Southgate is still an idiot. Doctor Shaw made the list.

See the ICC Nigeria submitted herself to...Abeg let's take back Bakassi.

The major players do not respect the ICC...

nitrogen:
DDG conceded 1.13 goals per game in 22/23, Onana did 1.57. Clean sheets 17 vs 9. Of course, he faced more shots than DDG, but the former has been normalized using number of games. Total saves to shots conceded is relatively the same.

I agree that another keeper is needed for ETH’s ‘style’, but we did not see any new style in the last two season, and DDG would have fared better due to the shitty system oga played this season.

Simple. The more ney we spent to get Onana should have been used to fix other areas of the team...See excuses upon excuses for Onana...

maik99:
Crazy how our very own manager sabotaged our season with that atrocious structure that saw us have no midfield, right from the very first game of the season
There's no reason for this season to have been this bad, even with all the injuries

Fact...

mostob:
Who dey troll you? The way you carry Arsenal matter for head eh...not knowing your club is worse. Channel your trolling energy towards sending out Erik Bin laden from your club. Waterfall FC.

Why una no dey sabi accommodate small banter? I see the way you guys react to bants on your thread but some of you are always bantering other clubs.

Onkoolos:
Make I see the werey wey go complain.. I no say that useless rashford go won talk....

They all knew the implication from the get go...

It's the courts that have the constitutional rights to make such pronouncements.

blueghost:
I really felt that replying you will be a waste of time but i feel you do these things you do out of ignorance so let me lecture you for free on basic military course. To defeat your enemy you have to be realistic with yourself or else you get yourself annihilated. Hate it or love it the facts are the facts except when they are changed.
Your dislike and hatred for a country shouldn't make you blind to reality. In military studies, logistics wins you the war; the fact that you can supply troops is crucial. Having studied militaries and formations around the world, it's clear that the US military's capabilities are unparalleled. Here are some key qualities and quantities that underscore this:
Global Presence: The US maintains over 750 military bases worldwide, allowing it to project power and sustain operations across any continent. Neither China nor Russia has this logistical advantage.
Aircraft Carriers: The US is the only country with 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, each capable of carrying at least 70 fighter jets. These carriers provide unmatched air superiority and flexibility.
Advanced Technology: The US military is equipped with cutting-edge technology, from stealth aircraft like the F-35 to advanced drones and cyber warfare capabilities. This technological edge is a significant force multiplier.
Training and Expertise: US military personnel, especially pilots, receive some of the best training in the world. This training ensures that they can operate effectively in complex and challenging environments.
Logistics and Supply Chain: The ability to supply and sustain troops across vast distances is a key advantage. The US military's logistical network is robust, allowing for rapid deployment and sustained operations.
Defense Budget: The US defense budget is the largest in the world, providing the resources needed to maintain and advance its military capabilities. This financial commitment supports ongoing innovation and readiness.
Nuclear Deterrence: With a substantial nuclear arsenal, the US maintains a strong deterrent against potential adversaries. This includes both land-based and submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
Cyber Warfare: The US has developed significant capabilities in cyber warfare, allowing it to disrupt and defend against digital threats. This is increasingly important in modern conflicts.
Sanctions and Economic Measures: US economic sanctions, like those imposed on Russia, have long-term strategic impacts. While the effects may not be immediate, they can significantly hinder an adversary's economic and military capabilities over time.
While it may take time for China and Russia to catch up, the US continues to leverage its advantages to maintain its military dominance. This is why the US works to prevent China from acquiring advanced chips and sanctions Russia, as these measures are intended to maintain its technological and strategic edge.
Economists suggest that the sanctions on Russia may not have immediate effects but have set the country back decades in terms of economic and military development. This strategic foresight ensures that the US remains a formidable military power now and in the future.

It's all about the military strategy a country adopts. For the US, they rather project power hence the reason for military bases accross the different continents, the need for aircraft carriers etc.

For Russia and to a lesser extent China, theirs is all about defending their territory and deterring others from attacking them. China is slowly abandoning their position and are looking to project power hence their heavy spending on carriers and their navy in general.

The ability of an economy to switch to war economy effortlessly is what determines whether a country can hold its own when faced with a war with an equal or near equal adversary. Russia and most especially China can ramp up production in a short span of time to prosecute a war that will last ages.

In all, nukes will be involved if any of the super powers go head-to-head.

For me, I am all for a multi-polar world order.

Commendable. I hope he will give a face lift to the other government schools in the state.

Politicians will always come in a build their own so they get praised whilst abandoning others constructed by past administrations. No continuity in government.

Unlimited22:
Ladies and gentlemen, today is Unlimited26 👽👽👽

Another revolution round the sun.

Birthday blessings bro.

liveLongNprospa:
Looks like apc government favored me.
First pikin Don show today😎

Congratulations bro...

This government is not serious.

When we mention structure people automatically assume we are defending ETH or a player.

How did lack of good structure affect ETH? :

A club with a good structure will not give full powers to sign players to a manager who has never had such powers before, especially one who was coming from a smaller club where he did not have such powers. They gave him that authority because they didn't have the nous to make the football decisions themselves.

A club with good structure will not allow the manager to waste their time for a whole transfer window, promising them that FDJ will sign for us. What lamba did ETH sell to those mumus that made them to waste so much time on FDJ. True football men would have pulled out of the deal long before we did.

A club with structure and scouts and football people will not buy a player for 85m just months after its scouting department evaluated him at 25m, just on the say so of the new untested manager.

Even with ETH's cluelessness, each of those 3 mistakes could have been avoided if the people above ETH were confident that they knew what they were doing. But they didn't, and so were happy to pass the buck to him.

Doc, Oasis was not one of the guys highlighting the problems of the board here. He was on the side of those who thought the coach was the problem. Seeing him now running with your mantra dey funny me abi him think say we don forget?

Oasis na typical politicians, him dey decamp anyhow.

DMerciful:
Lets have true federalism so every state controls their resources

The same money that will still be looted by the political class?

If things were right, even with the money Bayelsa gets now, it should be one of the most developed states. You can struggle to manage millions and want people to trust you with billions. There's a reason some billionaires rather employ professionals with the requisite skills to manage their businesses than trust it in the hands of their children.

Seeing Sancho in the UCL final is enough to make the players question ETH...

From the comments, you can easily identify those who only read headlines and begin to comment like they're informed.

AdisaOwala:
Let's not blame him too much abeg

Question is - should he even be starting as many games?

No be the uselessness of them Antony and Rashford etc cause am?

Garnacho still has a lot to learn - fella is still raw and unpolished

My fear is that if care isn't taken, he might not attain his full potential

No thanks Bin Laden...

Garnacho is learning from Rashford...Stupid player.

Erik Bin Laden don see opportunity to bring him boyfriend.

Garnacho should use his brain more. Pace alone is not enough.

Casemiro has lost his legs.

Mrviktor:
Yes because we clearly can't win..

You asked what is the point of the match for both teams hence my question. Arsenal still have the title within reach and for us, we can still push for UECL qualification...It's not like I want us to be playing in that competition sef.

Mrviktor:
What's the point of today's match for both teams ?

Are you for real?

Joezinho:
Lavia is probably the biggest fraud signing, he came in the summer, it’s the end of the season yet the werey doesn’t have more than 1 appearance...

We nor even mention malang sarr with the steeze of a repentant jihadist. 😂😂😂.

Ma Niqqa...That were no know say we no dey take prisoners for here. Shoot on sight.

MRTA7:
There are many failures but my number one reason for wanting ETH out is not tactics or anything like that. Its the transfers in and out of the squad which he had complete control over. Complete disaster.

For me, his failure in identifying talents and clearing out deadwoods is one of many.

I'm big on tactics and style of play, he has not improved us in that regard.

Also, his man management is poor, very poor.

Three good reasons to axe him.

CrystalTiger:
The decision making in this club ffs..

We had Dean Henderson and this Leverkusen Kovar guy to choose from but decided it was better to blow $50m on Onana..

It was well debated here. I remember that a couple of us were against the idea of replacing De Gea when it was obvious that we had pressing concerns in the team. People said with De Gea we will struggle building from the back but how have we fared since he left?

Every De Gea's mistake was blown out of proportion but how has Onana performed? Has he been any better?

We could have and should have invested the money we used to sign Onana on buying a CB or invest in other areas of the team.

I am waiting to see what the club will do this summer.

Mrviktor:
They were wasteful tho..

Similar to manutd Vs Sheffield United..

They should have been like 5-0 up
I guess it's because their main forward players weren't on the pitch

Their team reminds me of 3 years ago klopp.. no matter the team he fields they always ball.. it's a confidence thing sha..
I know we would still get there again.

What team do you support?
