Wenger on Saints' goal: "It is an art of bad defending from Chelsea. Zouma is turned completely and the space between him and Azpilicueta, look where James is. He should be in there and Azpilicueta much more in. There is no communication, but what the striker does is exceptional"

I will have to watch it again to see the leg but i am sure that what brought DCL down was TAA’s head and body which DCL fell over accidentally.

And that ref no even look the screen well before he decided on the penalty. Shortest time at the monitor ever. Chairman don make up him mind long time ago. cheesy

It’s the intent the refs look at. TAA intentionally raised his leg. DCL was probably already falling before TAA raised his leg to trip him, but TAA did raise his leg to trip him and that can be seen as trying to stop a clear goal scoring opportunity. Even TAA did not protest against the pen because he knows what he did. When the ref went to the VAR monitor, I expected him to come back and brandish a red card and I am sure TAA feared the same.

The ref did not waste anytime at the VAR screen probably because he immediately saw that TAA intentionally raised his leg and that was all he was looking for. I think he was lenient, Mike dean would have given TAA a red card.

You wouldn’t be civil in your arguments because you care more about gathering likes & being liked by the majority.

All these players you mentioned have been known for their unreliability over the years. Nobody overhype them like they do Kovacic.

When you’ve a stable strong midfielder that shield the defense well, all these inadequacies by defenders would be less noticed. Has Kovacic won any important trophy that was not from the bench?

Some people are even making excuses for kova by saying it’s Kante fault. Same Kante that played with Matic & average midfielder like DrinkWater and excelled.

My interest mostly lies on midfield & Kovacic had a bad game yesterday. Or am I the one operating these Twitter accounts?

I don’t agree.

Kante has track record playing in midfield two, with players like Pogba, Matic, even Drinkwater. Winning major trophies in all events.

Has Kovacic had any record that atleast we can compare with in the past to know if he’s not the problem? Under previous coach like Sarri or Lampard was Jorginho Kovacic partnership really that perfect?

This post is so right on point.

@bolded... That is exactly my thought. I was even shouting red card when the foul happened. When the ref went to VAR, I was almost certain it will be red.

Can you do a comparison of the style of play Kante excelled in with the said players and the style he is playing in at the moment.

In that match, he was good at ball recoveries but flop in every other aspects of ball usages. His inadequacy in usage of the ball will be his undoing with Tuchel and why he affected Kovacic and our midfield play.

Kante is a runner and not a ball user

Yeah i have watched it again. TAA convicted himself by raising that leg. It was unnecessary because DCL was already going down, but having raised it the ref should have given a penalty and a red card.
If however the ref was giving the penalty for the initial fall over TAA's body i don't agree with that one. If he was giving the penalty for the petulantly raised leg why was the red card not given as per the new rules?

Ogbeni, Fraudiola didn't win anything in his first season with a City that finished as Ucl semifinalists few weeks before joining them.

That's how Eruditor was 'making mouth' anyhow thinking Fraudiola couldn't get it wrong last season. He is still a missing person here till tomorrow


Nobody said pep guardiola won anything but be kind enough to tell us the semi finalists team under pelligrini finished with just 66points while under pep they finished with12points more.


By the way,i wonder why you are still here commenting with Conte getting it all wrong in the ucl at inter milan wink could it be what I am thinking?

Nadal and Djokovic will most likely surpass Federer in grand slam titles. Which of them will be number 1 will most likely depend on health.

Federer has stopped winning titles, Nadal has 1 guaranteed title a year and Djokovic has 1 guaranteed title as well.

Nole is 2 titles behind Nadal but 1 yr younger. So COVID willing Nadal surpasses Roger this year at Roland Garros and Nole then starts chasing Nadal. Whichever of the 2 maintains health and fitness will be the last man standing.

Who knows Novak might just step up and claim either Wimbledon or the US open(another hard court). But the French is untouchable except of course Rafa is injured

Im not saying Kante is the problem neither Kovacic but both of them can not play together due similarity in their play; both are roamer, with that they miscalculate their position and this confusion is an advantage for opponent to always capitalize on. Those players you mentioned play differently from Kante.

He has all you could think of in a great defender.

Though he may be getting old, at present he is still better than most of all those hyped as the best CBs in the world.

I can only rate Dias a lil bit above him in Epl and it's because he is faster as he is obviously younger.

Nadal owns French. Nole almost owns Aus. Nole is a bit better on the other surfaces but they are both more beatable at Wimbledon (surface) and US (end of year attrition and fatigue).

america will print 4 trillion dollars and share for it's people while the rest of the world starves cheesy nobody is even asking why don't they suffer inflation but if another country does it, inflation will destroy it's currency

The whole system is unfair but who is going to confront america?

China wants to build their economy, they have found a loophole in the system america enjoys and they are exploiting it, europeans just want peace, world war 2 really affected those countries, only russia remains and america and it's european puppies are doing everything to bully russia, IMF is a hedgefund for rich countries, they give conditional loans to poor countries, america is the major donor and have more say in their activities, world bank and IMF serve at the pleasure of america, UN is world congress but the top dog is america, they push their movies every where, their goods and companies, they have monopolized the world, they have military bases everywhere, they are holding a piece of land in cuba and have refused to leave, cuban government told american government to leave but they wouldn't, they use it to torture people cause american law doesn't support torture, they are bullying so many countries but the world looks on, as long as you aren't taking over my country no wahala, which is worst abeg, taking over your economy or taking over your country

Google dollar milkshake theory, you will weep when you are done reading about it

American stock market is a casino, most people are only there to make profit, if a top casino spender runs out of cash, federal reserve will print more money and bail out the company, if you have a company that is too big to fail, you can take major risk knowing that no matter what, government will bail you out, insurance without limit, they will create derivatives and bet on them, they will create derivatives on derivatives, a bet on a bet on a bet on a bet

If we discuss 2008 financial crises, you wouldn't believe the kind of things that are possible in america if you have money

There was an american company that was placing bets on the weather, these guys only care about making profit not wealth creation and since they are the worlds accountant and police man, they can do anything and we will all suffer the burden, I only have a few more decades to live, na fuckkkk, weed and small comforts win am for me, the way the world is, if you reason am, you go give up, I never even talk facebook and Google own monopoly cheesy

Cia has overthrown governments all over the world but american movies will use russia as the bad guy, if war happens tomorrow, only russia has the ability to face america, they will conquer the rest of the world in 6months

You don't understand something. Roman knows nothing about football. All this na yarns. Roman can't jog ball up to 5 here. My nigga only cares about trophy. You think getting smashed by Conte, Leicester and Everton as Pep did in his first season is beautiful football in Romans eyes?

Paltry 12 points more, was disappointing as he added John Stones, Sane, Jesus, Nolito, Bravo, Gundogan to an already solid team.

Conte used Victor Moses, Dayo's calamity Luiz and Alonslow to destroy him home and away.
Not forgetting how he was bundled out of Ucl by Bakayoko and his friends.

You saying he wouldn't have gone trophyless with Chelsea is an invalid statement, similar to what turned Eruditor to a lost 'spanner' in the hands of Dayo.

I know that. It is 20, 20, 18 right now. I have already taken it as a given that they will both pass Federer.

Djokovic is fitter but Nadal is 2 ahead right now and has a guaranteed annual. So Nole has to win multiples every year until he is about 36 for him to be sure of surpassing Nadal cos the Spaniard is likely to still add 2-3 French titles to his tally.

I am rooting for Djokovic cos i like them in the order Federer, Djokovic, Nadal. Djokovic is the only one that can stop Nadal from being the all time leader and that as a Federer fan is something i do not want.
