Saying that Klopp needs to deliberately set up to cover for him was spot on by Roland17. Liverpool have the best wing backs in the league so, a switch to 3 5 2 will really favor them more so than Chelsea as it will mask the defensive lapses of TAA whilst promoting his attacking play...

CAPdan21:

Saying his game is more suited to attacking is different from calling him a poor defender and comparing him to Eboue implies that he is a defensive liability which is definitely false...for instance TAA is a better defender than walker is a wingback, so if walker is not a poor wingback how can TAA be a poor defender??

AnfieldFan:


So far this season...

airmark:


They will return to status quo as it was obvious Milan used his bombing forward to score them. Rest.

Exactly what I expected them to say.

How can you say he is abysmally poor defensively when his defensive stats is still okay?

He is the weakest link in the Liverpool's defense doesn't automatically translate to him being defensively poor.

The matter don tire me sef

timbros:


So he attacks in the absence of VVD as against what you want us to believe?

Roland17:


Yesterday, I talk am say TAA na just expensive Eboue, nothing else. Klopp knows this, yet remains stubborn because he wants to prove a point. If Liverpool will not play a back 3 and use TAA as WB then he will continue to struggle and get exposed at the back. He needs to be pushed higher up the pitch. When you speak of TAA, for the most part, no one talks about his defending, it is what he does in the final third, his crossing and goals (Does that not sound like a winger or RM)..More so, the way Liverpool is set up kind of favors him when they have the ball, however, when they not in possession, he looks lost. He even struggles to invert to help the CBs, neither is he aware of his opponents position. He is lacking defensively and it will continue to cost him..I am not hating on the man oh! Just stating the obvious..

airmark:


And it ended in goals conceded. Klopp definitely must have seen it and not gamble again.

kushercain:


How old was he? Barely 19 and had health problems off field. He didn't even get mych game time and just played a season so wettin you dey yarn

MorataFC:
The difference between JT and Mustafi is minimal?

airmark:


And it ended in goals conceded. Klopp definitely must have seen it and not gamble again.

iamoyindamola:

I don't know na, I can only compare him with the notable RBs in EPL
That's why I said bring it out so far we are rating base on defense and not attack
And yes he's very very poor defensively

BlueMann:
Kante is back. Who drops out tho?

Kiva had been our best plater these past two games, Jorgo had been steady too.

Don't think TT will throw Kante back in anyways. Maybe Jovacic against Spurs, then Saul & Kante against Villa.

timbros:


We are not talking if his attacking has consequences or not.

You specifically said TAA don't attack when VVD is not around. Do you still stand by that?

raumdeuter:
For those who are better informed please enlighten me on what problems the CBN has with abokifx ? Shebi the guy just dey report latest rates ni

Someone said its like Arsenal fans banning livescore

patrickmuf:
An EPL commentator said same and not just for TAA but involving Robertson too...You definitely do not know more than he does...

Roland17:


Naaaa.. The CBN just realized they need to fight dirty if they are to get some level of normalcy with the exchange rate. While the economy and inflation rate in Nigeria is horrible, we have secondary influencers like Abokifx who are inflating and exaggerating the Naira/ Dollar situation. I am in no way shape or form saying @abokifx is the problem with Nigeria poor economy.. nobody should engage me in such..

Abokifx is pretty much setting the exchange rate in the black market. I don’t think the CBN have enough machinery/ discipline and will to eliminate or totally control the black market but they can reduce the exaggerated rates which is pretty much being determined by @Abokifx.

This situation leads to triple inflation which affects the price of goods in the market. When people ask for exchange rates, no one is asking for the CBN rate, people go on @abokifx and then go with it. It also leads to hoarding of the dollar which of course increases scarcity.. Guess what scarcity does? Your guess is as good as mine.

I have never been a fan of this government but this is one I support. We have too many secondary influencers who are determining the exchange rate. The CBN have to cut the wings of the BDCs and people like Abokifx to bring some semblance of sanity to the black market. They also have to hold banks accountable, I mean, they have to be strict with banks..

The black market situation of forex is horrible in comparison to the black market of fuel.. Nigeria is just tooooooo corrupt!

I wait to read other comments because me sef wan learn.

airmark:


You and who?

Ogbeni, you will see TAA being cautious henceforth with his bombing forward, once VVD is not on the field. You don't need babalawo to tell you. That was what happened when VVD was injured last season, stop disturbing me jare.

timbros:


Said what exactly?

You don't get the discussion. Airmark said that TAA do not attack whenever VVD is not on the pitch. The issue is not if attacking will be detrimental or not.

Did TAA attack AC Milan? Was VVD in the pitch?

raumdeuter:


Thanks a lot for this detail

My opinion is that abokifx only reports the rate and doesnt set.

Also its common knowledge that CBN rates is useless to the average person as no one gets to buy at those rates. If you are in Lagos today and want to buy FX, the surest way is to go to abokis and their rate is different from CBN rates

Abkifx doesnt set this, he only reports

So it's something he will start doing, not something he has been doing like you opined?

Ibime:


Aboki doesn't set rate. CBN is just beating around the bush.

In the days of Abacha, we had parallel rate. In the days of Buhari, we have parallel rate. We didn't have parallel rate under OBJ, Yaradua or GEJ

Parallel rate is the real rate. Emefiele should stop this nonsense. To exchange Naira onto any exchange eg Binance etc requires the parallel rate. Most Nigerians can't access Forex except at parallel rate. Most foreigners can't access exchange except at parallel rate.
