How come you're dissing Sadiq? At the Olympics you fought everyone who called Sadiq out for being poor. You stood by him and defended him like he was your brother.

Your 360° cycle have made me realise that you know deep down inside of you the truth in most topic of interest to you like Man city,Guardiola and Kelechi but you choose to defend just for the sake of it.
I now understand you

TheGoodJoe:

You call a man who created one of the best artworks, if not the best ever artwork in football a dull coach. It is his art. HE WHO CONTROLS THE BALL CONTROLS THE GAME. Alex Ferguson and Beckenbauer do not think Guardiola is dull.

TheGoodJoe:
Goldie Gold. We are talking of Popoola. Not Umar.

daveP:
The last 5 goals that Bravo conceded had nothing to do with defence, in fact the defence were beaten and only had Bravo left to deal with, he, like Cech, don't take fast decisions with one on one and when it's only them left....

safarigirl:
well.Alex Ferguson recommended David Moyes as a good successor for him when he retired and we all saw how rhat decision went, so, not to yab Fergie the Great, but sometiminiom isn't so precise

And what is "He who Controls the ball controls the game"? Is it football or yoga we're talking of? For all of Bravo's control, City has been losing control of the game a lot

daveP:
This has nothing to do with respect for white man or if he's a black ass coach. No.

It's just that we know he has some temper issues and we gladly supported him cos he was right then, but now, it's getting too much, and yeah he's retired. But if he is truly retired. He would simply say it respectfully. What does Gernot want gain from lying?

daveP:
lol

Since he isn't omnipresent, his philosophy, not globally efficient, or always triumphant, then I doubt his efficiency in EPL. Simple.


His priorities this time just aren't right since he entered Man city. Is the criticism unfair, I wouldn't, cos I know that he had left time at Bayern and still perform so the is of giving him time to me isn't an excuse....

BascoVanVeli:
Why else are people getting worked up? When Ike Uche called Keshi a liar where was all this hoopla? I ask, what if Enyeama is a type of guy that knows every single call he has missed and Rohr didn't in fact call him like he said? Which one of u know Rohr so well that u can vouch for his honesty?

daveP:
oh cmon. Are you saying there isn't any, any Goalie better with feet than Bravo in existence, cos that's what your statement implies.


Right there in the EPL, Mignolet and this Bournemouth Goalie, are far far better with footwork than Bravo.

TheGoodJoe:
It takes time to adapt his philosophy to the EPL because a lot of his players are not ideal. Key players in the midfield like Gundogan is yet to get a good run. Fernandinho who is one of the key passing midfielders of City has missed about five EPL games. Guardiola could not secure his defensive targets like Laporte and Bonucci. Kompany has not gotten a good run this season.

So it will take time to sort these out. The media criticism is funny when you look at the situation holistically.

daveP:
Well he should have prepared for the. EPL media. He perhaps underrated them.

And still yet, thanks for confirming my opinion.... Pep needs to wake up fast.


Just like the billboard that welcomes one to Lagos

"This is Lagos" it says and not "welcome to lagos" as other states in Nigeria shows.


Pep, this is the EPL.

TheGoodJoe:

If we control the ball enough, we are not to spend time defending but playing the ball. When we lose the ball without control or shape, we are off the philosophy. When we create chances and do not score, the opponents have a chance of countering us and causing us problems.

That is why Bravo not saving is not the focus but us getting more comfortable in controlling the game, creating chances and making the most of these chances.

TheGoodJoe:

Tah. That is not true. Mignolet better than Bravo. What have you been watching. Bravo is plain good.

Mignolet is not close.

TheGoodJoe:

Enyeama's response is uncultured. We should not defend such. He should contact the coach and sort it out. I do not agree with him lashing out.

safarigirl:
people were well aware of Keshi's antecedents having formed a 'mafia' during his playing days against the coach, so really, if you wanted to defend Keshi against Uche , there would be someone around to remind you that Keshi was notorious as well, so what is he standing on? Plus, it's not like Keshi spoke of recalling Ike Uche a lot that period, it was just one question that brought Ike up and Keshi gave that reply

On the other hand, Rohr is a new coach, a coach who spoke highly of Enyeama until this latest fracas. I remember when Rohr was insisting on getting Enyeama back and how important he was to the team, even then most of us here were against such recall.....now tell me, why will someone who has spoken so highly of Enyeama until now suddenly tell a lie against him? Is that normal?

When you try to put a racist spin on things, you end up sounding racist yourself. So, you're doubting Rohr because he's a white man? Maybe if he was black like you, Enyeama would be at fault...so, let's go the usual nigga route and blame the white man for oppressing us.

If you don't think that sounds wrong, then you need to check yourself

daveP:
footwork. Footwork!!! I've watched 11 of Liverpool's games this season and that is my verdict

BascoVanVeli:
Wc quater finalist, 2 copa America, 2 la liga, 2 copa del rey, 1 champions league, abeg pass me wetin u dey smoke.:-)

daveP:
Thanks for that conditional word "if" which proves that Pep's philosophy is not even working and it's affecting his best players. Does Pep ever adapt to his environ atal?


This is where Mou is better than him, the adaptation level.

Watch and adapt.


Conte did,

Villa Boas didnt

Matteo did


Why must Pep be the only one?

daveP:
so his footwork won him all those titles. He was the only one on the pitch ba. No you should pass me what you're smoking. Or rather ask Joe, cos he said there's none like Bravo when it comes to footwork.

So how does titles justify his footwork?

Add the price of the weed besides


Just like saying Valdes was better than Casillas cos he won lots of titles with Barca! Cmon that's laughable and hilarious.....

De Gea hasn't won much with Man U, does that take away the fact that he isn't world class? Chai
When it comes to better footwork, who is Bravo, near Mignolet?

Lemme not go further sef...

BascoVanVeli:
Who said racism? If me saying white man offends u oops but Rohr is in fact white. That said do we really know Rohr? Do we know if he ever had a mafia past? I would think a coach should be respected based on the fact that he is The Coach not if he was a brat as a player. Rohr speaking highly of Enyeama is ok but Conte also spoke highly about Mikel. I hate that i sound against Rohr but bare with me, Rohr said Enyeama told him he would go to Russia if we qualified, Rohr has said alot of things, what if those were all false and Enyeama finally got tired of it? Now if this was the story will u still raise ur hand and blame the guy?

you forgot to add Barca flop...

For Barcelona to have sold that guy after one season, goes to show he's not as good as anyone wants us to believe. Barcelona doesn't sell great players after one seasom

TheGoodJoe:

Bravo kept in 37 straight League games and was the goalkeeper in the La Liga team of the season. He was no way a flop.

TheGoodJoe:

Bravo did not flop at Barcelona and Barcelona wanted him to stay
He chose to go because of a chance to work with Guardiola. Also, Enrique rotated him and ter Stegen. He played the league while ter Stegen Champions League.

It was an emotional departure, not flop in any way.

safarigirl:
....I wonder how well that choice is working for him now

safarigirl:
Exactly, you don't know Rohr, so on what basis are you judging him the liar?

You don't even know the Enyeama you're standing up for, but because he's the black man, hey, let's put a stake through Rohr's heart.

komekn:
One of the things about NFF communication with players it is facilitated by other officials, who may not be the most efficient.

Did he have the right number, did he call at the right time, for instance training usually starts at 9.30 am may not end until 2.30/3.00pm. During this period your phones off.

There are a multitude of scenarios that can cause a breakdown of communication. Enyeama is not a liar, a man of integrity yes from all I have heard.
