This decamping just dey sweet Fubara anyhow

SmooshCHN:
All that Draymond talk about "We don't need you. We won without you" is fake deep. Give that man his damm flowers.

They have tried so hard to discredit KD and it continues to fail woefully, now it is legacy and asterisks.

No way the Warriors don't win the 2019 NBA finals against the Raptors if KD was healthy and available. We are talking of a player they rushed back after he strained his calf in the semi-finals against the Rockets (A series he dominated and led all warriors scorers until he went down). Of course he ruptured his Achilles because they couldn't keep up with the Raptors. What happened after KD ruptured his Achilles during game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals?

etidy:
All this one na fanboy talk. This would have been valid if we are talking about a tier b or c star.
KD is in the debate of the greats (Top 10 or 15 all time) and invariably they are held to a higher standard

1. Kobe had to prove he could win without Shaq, we knew he was great but he still had to do it.
2. Steph had to prove his first title without Durant wasn't a fluke and that he could replicate and most importantly win the finals MVP
3. LeBron had to prove he could win outside Miami and Pat Riley/Wade which was why part of why the title at Cleveland was so significant
4. Magic had to show he could beat Bird to be the GOAT of his own era.

All the greatest had a monkey, they had to get off their shoulder and durant is no exception.

Deep down Durant himself knows it, Assuming he had a couple of deep playoffs run post golden state this may have been a non issue.
But he has repeatedly stacked teams and failed to get anywhere.

Durant needs to show he can win outside golden state, whether he likes it or not, its important to his legacy.

Giannis and Jokic have one title each but most consensus agree that those titles are greater than both titles Durant won at Golden state.

There are so many fallacies in your response. None of those things you listed on there questioned the greatness of the 4 player listed. I mean you had to go as low as Giannis and Jokic..

KD headlined 2 out of your 4 titles in the modern era/ since the franchise moved to the Bay Area. There is no way you are talking about the Warriors in the modern era and the 2 titles that KD will not top the conversation.

You guys are the ones still stuck in that world because KD has moved on and just wants to win. His desire to win has nothing to do with his legacy or any kain asterisk you want to put on his career and championships. When he gets called as a first ballot hall of famer, you can choose to keep your asterisk, it is inconsequential.

Onuachu is useless outside the box and extremely slow for Nigeria's style of play

He is only good when you play in the opponents box and Nigeria doesn't do that


Same issue he had at Southampton, showing good touches on the halfway line but by the time the wingers enter the box, he will still be on the halfway line

So he can't press at speed or follow his wingers into the box. Tactically it will be like another Tolu Vs DRC scenario with press failing around the striker and the team not being able to relieve pressure by playing balls into the channels for the striker to chase

There will be absolutely no justification for leaving the top scorer of the Turkish league; the same league where our best player competes. You may be right about him not being good in the past but his current form means he has to be in the squad at the very least.

Onuachu isn't going to start for us, so our attackiing tactic isn't going to be built around him. if anything he can come in when we need a goal to support Osimhen or as a sub after a game has been won. Irrespective, his strengths give us a different way of attacking opponents when we need goals.

Strikers in Onuachu are reliant on the ball to feet, their frame makes it difficult for them to be as mobile as they would like to be. He is definitely better than Tolu based on current form.

I just returned from a Congressional delegation to Nigeria with @HouseAppropsGOP. While there, we visited Benue State.

I'm fairly certain neither Nigeria's President, VP, Senate, Hell even the Benue Governor has visited these places

Shebi na Benue e see where e dey shock. If e visit Southern Kaduna or Jos I wonder if he no go need therapy

On a norms, should APC and Asiwaju have anything to campaign on in 2027?

Na because dem no rate Nigerians. We dey call am “see finish”. I won’t stop saying it, there is no consequence in Nigerian politics.

Ibime:
This is nonsense with Onuachu backing Osimhen when Moffi and Awoniyi are still alive

Based on form, Onuachu beats Moffi and Awoniyi. You can’t ignore his 11/15, which tops the goal scorers chart in Turkey. You absolutely have to reward his current form.

A40:
Ahn ahn you wan kill am?? Shey na him tear Jayson Tomtom Achilles?? This was supposed to be a write off season the support cast are all gone apart from White and Pritchard but it looks like he might finish with a top 3 seed. If he wins a series or two he definitely should get some credit

And he delivered only one banner with that roster after keeping us above the 2nd apron for 3 years abi?

You don hear about the Michigan Football (NCAA) Head coach wahala?

A40:
You no gree give your meerkat credit. He's actually done a yeoman's job so far this season

Naaa fam!

I have said the only way the meerkat gets my validation under any circumstance is by raising banner 19; his 2nd.

Has he tried thus far? Yes, but we are riding on JB which is the right thing to do. Hopefully JB stays hot.

SmooshCHN:
Broski, we left all that in 2018. We are not kids anymore.

It's 2025; if you're KD, you have nothing in this life and the next to prove to anybody in the World, USA, NBA; let alone NL concerning basketball.

Anyone seriously bringing up this topic has to be doing it for clout or TV time. It can't be a real conversation. It can't.

As in ehn!

Men, as we don enter the festive season, financial demands will start mounting from all angle.... Abeg, no kill yourself.

Do only where your power reach and leave the rest for God. Don't allow anybody stress you pass your limit, including your own family.

If you check yourself truly and e no dey like that, e no dey be that, another year dey for front. No give yourself HBP or stress related anxiety because of people this period.

If e dey and you can afford, abeg show love to the poor around you and most importantly, take your health seriously and find some time for yourself to relax.

Wahala no dey finish

Yes I understand this but gyokeres strength should be hold up play, he was getting it especially against Burnley before he got injured
He was everywhere that day

I am trying to be careful with how much I speak about Gykores because it may read like I am defending him. However, post Burnley, including the CB game, I can't remember a ball to feet or anything near back to the post or touches inside the or around the box.

We played exclusively from the wings with our wingers scoring. Except you are asking Gyokores to go and start dragging wings with Martinelli/ Madueke. He can't play like he did against Burnley all the time, he will be spent before halftime sef.

I just believe we should be able to adjust our tactics a "little" bit to accommodate some of his strength; I mean, isn't that why we got him in the first place? An alternative way of attacking teams..

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
To whom it may concern.

You have been making noise with no bite.

What did you do when we called your bluff and visited Taiwan in 2022? You wailed, tucked your tail and looked away like we expect. You for blow up the plane na! Or arrest Nancy and the delegates.

No be Cho! Cho!! Cho! Show your working!!

Spy360:
When I made this prediction in May, I was opposed by Davep and Roland17

But my thoughts came through. As it stands now, Gyokeres has been playing false 9 and he is not even well suited to it compared to G Jesus who looked better when he came on.

The argument has always been about a different mold of striker that offers us a different approach and that is what Gyokores is.

Asking Gyokores to play as a false 9 or inverted striker isn’t his strength. There there numerous instances before Gyokores when we were looking for goals, had possession but all our strikers were hugging the edge of the box with nobody inside the box for crosses or keeping CBs honest. Teams player low blocks and got results against us because of a lack of CF.

Now he is here, we are still expecting him to play the same way that necessitated his purchase in the first place.

iamoyindamola:
Roland17
Jesus had more touches in the little minutes played than gyokeres, I think he needs to start making himself available the competition are coming back with kai close

2 different kinds of players. Guokores can’t do what Jesus does, neither can Jesus do what Gyokores does. Gyokores isn’t built to run around or build from deep. He needs touches inside or around the edge of the box. He offers us something different that we should be taking advantage of.

A40:
If they want to break the Warriors record they can. Their depth is absurd

They also have high draft picks next year. They are stacked now and in the future.

2 wins in 8 is tough!

3-0
Martinelli with the 3rd that's 5 in 5

He loves scoring in the UCL

iamoyindamola:
My head scatter that moment
I am also concern about gyokeres, this guy should be opening up na he's always disappearing in games

The Martinelli incident that we just talked about is an example of why he is struggling.

A promising attack that took Martinelli almost 30 seconds to make a decision that ultimately killed the attack won't help any CF. Do you know how many times Gyokores positioned, repositioned, repositioned before Alaye decided to finally pass back? Outside of the goal, which was fantastic, we haven't created much. We look indecisive with the ball and that means we are just holding possession without being incisive in the final 3rd. I am not making excuses for him but we are not offering much. He had 1 header when Martinelli was decisive with his cross, it hit the opponent but the ref did not call for CK. CF have very limited time with their movement because CBs know they are there, so we have to be quick and decisive when we move the ball.

iamoyindamola:
Martinelli is frustrating to watch

Baba killed a promising attack with unnecessary dancing, only to finally pass back

Big saves from Raya

OK Madueke, that is some finish!

How is that not a CK? Clearly went off Brugge's player

Hincapie hit the post there I believe

MSGAMBLE9:
But with Norgaard in Defence? At this rate Kepa would want to leave on January

Until Raya gets injured, then we start reading the worst excuses.

Theflint1:
You sabi ball, this decamping is more or less to prevent harassment after his tenure, I'm sure it was part of the agreement made before he was allowed to resume office.

Also, Fubara’s decamping guarantees APC and Asiwaju unfettered access to Rivers funds for the upcoming presidential elections.

raumdeuter:
He wont be given the 2nd term ticket. He would be primaried and given a minster or ambassador position where he can chop but not the governorship. His actions has shown to Wike that he cannot be trusted. He is an Ambode at this point

My thoughts as well. I don’t know if Asiwaju will renege on the agreement that led to his return. Joining APC is the safest for his political future, especially when you consider he is still young in the game.

Sportsweb:
No follow corner corner support tinubu o - Fubara

I don’t think he has a choice. He wants that 2nd term badly. It would be interesting to see what APC do when nominations begin in Rivers State.

Thank you Oga Lawyer.

B. Mead with the only goal of the night to give us a win against Twente. A dominant performance but just couldn’t score.
