Ednut, e no good like this o. I send you Dm, you no gree respond.

By now, Nairaland should have a feature that allows one to block/mute certain accounts on the forum. Some people are just plain nuisance, every time you read their posts at least a hundred of your brain cell dies off.

Seun do something.

Samueltemi337:
Emmanuel Dennis wanted by Tottenham and Arsenal

I'm still not sold on Dennis yet. I have a weird feeling his gra-gra might fizzle out soon.

AnfieldFan:


22 goals a season with 13 assists is more than decent returns for any player...

It was decent but Barca didn't beat their transfer record for a decent record. Even Eto'o who was used as a sacrificial lamb in the transfer deal was contributing way more than that number for Barca.

No I didn’t watch the Roma game
I missed it, there was no power
But i know what DM’s and DF’s do to top strikers
Shuku shaker

It was against Inter Milan and it was from a head clash after both players went for an aerial ball.

yinkeys:

True. He should learn how Messi handled games with Sergio Ramos
Be ready for war when they face tough teams
Back then Barcelona Real Madrid games where usually tough/rough
Salah didn’t know what time it was when Ramos did him dirty in the champions league finals
Chellini did Saka dirty in the Euros final too
He should know when to play dirty or smart

Napoli still got hope to win the Scudetto
Especially after they won the away match against AC Milan

Did you even see how he got the injury? What is all these funny talk?

AnfieldFan:


Ibra had 35 goal contributions in 46 matches....How is this flopping?
Ibra's issues came from his Inability to see eye to eye with Pep for whatever reason...
Every player has spells where the fail to find the back of the net, doesn't mean they aren't quality...

You think Barca in 2009 paid 65m euros plus Samuel Eto'o for Ibra to come and score 22 goals a season?

Ibime:



Ibra only started returning poorly after he was bombed out from the no9

No, he was misfiring before he lost his spot. He even went on a two month goal drought in the league in the middle of the season. He had some good games here and there but it was obvious Zlatan wasn't going to work and Messi playing as a false 9 was the future for Barcelona.

Zlatan of course won't want to take blame for his failure at Barcelona, so no one should be surprised he is pointing fingers at Messi for it.

Ibime:



I believe that 100%. Messi wanted the false 9. Ibra didn't flop anything, someone was just better and wanted his spot.

In Man City, Pep called all the players in one of his first meetings and asked if any of them is Messi. They said no. Then he said Messi is the only player in football that can tell him what to do and he can't bench, and they should shut up and follow his instructions precisely. That's as per Sami Nasri who was a first hand witness.

Bros Ibra flopped in that Barca team. He went through goal droughts while Messi who was playing from the wings was scoring hattricks after hattricks. I remember there was a point he had scored just 1 goal in 10 games. He was struggling.

AnfieldFan:


Zlatan's SO CALLED FAILURE at Barcelona wasn't due to footballing activities...
You should know this considering how long you've been a football fan...

Zlatan struggled in the Barcelona team and didn't gel with the fast paced Tiki Taka football. He was very wasteful and unreliable as the team's CF. There was a game against Zaragoza Zlatan was so wasteful Messi had to dash him a penalty to save his ass.

Watch and see for yourself.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp7Ak0yH9fQ

All these fact twisting just to push agenda sha. Anyone who watched Barcelona in 2009/2010 season knows Zlatan was struggling in the team and didn't settle well into the team.

Zlatan Ibrahimovich was very wasteful in front of goal, he was missing sitters after sitters. He was on a goal drought for 2 months in the league playing as a centre forward in a prime Barcelona team.

Of course agenda over facts.

Trevor012:

Sorry my bad, my bad . It was just funny hearing someone who follow a pedophile and also worship a moon god talking about stupidity. I mean this bunch of people actually believe allah divided the moon. The irony was freaking amusing lmao.

How old are you? You talk like a teen.

Bombblacks:


Seems people like you don't understand the meaning of fluke. If you did something once and couldn't replicate it, it can well be regarded as a fluke.

We are saying the same thing na. Chelsea's unbeaten record was a fluke. Same as our 15 goals a season defence record.

Expert17:


Chelsea conceding 15 goals in 2004/2005 EPL season was a big fluke

Chelsea 86 home games unbeaten record was a big fluke too. We haven't been able to get reach 25 games since then

If we play 4-4-2, teams like South Africa or those North African teams will play basic triangles around our players until we chop goals like sardine. If we had like a talent like Scholes or Gerrard who can pass and dictate the game on their own, I won't be too worried.

Tired of this Ronaldo Vs Messi debates sha, it is always agenda over facts and the argument is often stupid and pointless.

This is a Chelsea Fan Thread, make we focus abeg.

Capaldi:

That's all I need and that's what everybody said.

Show me one post from anyone here saying Messi scoring 91 goals was a norm and not an exception.

I will show you enough asinine posts from guys here saying the record was a fluke.

That was the crux of the discussion.

Capaldi:

I don't know why you are saying replicate like anybody said he should score 91goals again. That's the problem with Messi fans. Every post they see not licking their god ass is seen as an attack. No one is saying scoring 91 goals is easy or downplaying it. The point is that Messi level is 60 to 50goal mark yearly. The 91goal is just an exception not the norm.

Are you stupid? Where did you get the impression I am a Messi fan from? The point of the argument are folks here saying Messi scoring 91 goals a year was a fluke and does not deserve to be celebrated. Of course, that performance was an exception and not a norm, that is why it is regarded as a Record. Get the Bleep outta here jumping into the conversation while talking out of your ass.

MrBrownJay1:
as much as this is an unfortunate story, let us also blame the girl for being so easily lured to a stranger's plce AND/OR her parents for not educating their children on the dangers of life (and especially daughters against men).

What's the use of the blaming the girl if she is already deceased? How does this help anyone?

Trevor012:

You didn't answer the question. Did Messi reach 65goals again talkless of even 70goals or 80? Scoring 91goals in a single year and scoring 60goals plus in 4 consecutive year which is harder? Winning one champions and winning 4 consecutively which is harder? Answer on a postcard.

Bros read this your post again, gently this time around....how does it sound to you?






Yeah, exactly.

Expert17:


Don't waste your time

If we truly dip it, this argument about Messi not replicating the 91 goal a year record is very stupid

If we are to go by that, all Guinness Book of World records are flukes because these records are yet to be matched.

Trevor012:

So if it wasn't luck how come Messi couldn't even reach 61 talkless of 70 ever again?

Again, that an achievement cannot be replicated does not mean it was luck. Did Nigeria win Atlanta 96 by luck? Or is Chelsea's 86 home unbeaten record luck? Did George Weah win Balon D'or by luck?

donjazet:
Does anybody agree with this?? Current premier league best 11? Henderson over kante and jorginho? Laporte over VVD? Funny how none of the top 4 teams have a performing striker.

Rudiger over Laporte and Mount over Mane for me. I might be bias but James has better stats than Arnold this season.

There are some achievements that can never be called a fluke no matter how you'd want to argue it sha.

Winning a league.
Going undefeated an entire season.
Scoring over 100 goals or points a season
Conceding less than 10 goals an entire season.
scoring 91 goals in a year.

The level of consistency you need week-in-week-out an entire year to do this is very high. It is stupid to just chalk it off as a fluke because the achievement can not be replicated.

Leyqute:


58 and 59 are 2 and 1 short of 60- which is the least of CR7’s goals during his consistency period.

There’s 9 goals between his best and least best output during that period.

For LM10, it’s about 35 goals. This speaks volumes in itself. It was a fluke season. If Messi was actually capable of 90 goals, he’d score 90 goals the next season - or something close to it.

Messi's crazy momentum dropped due to the exit of Pep Guardiola at the end of the season. That was peak Barcelona.

timay1:


it was definitely a fluke year. But his fans will not admit to it.
Because if it wasn't, he should have at least hit 80 goals in an additional one or two seasons but my guy couldn't even enter 61

It's synonymous to the last season Hazard had at Chelsea when he had a lot of goals and assists.

Hazard don't usually produce good stats as a foward and has never had that kind of stat at any stage of his career before. So that was a one off

Lol, Hazard had similar stat at Lille. What are you on about bro?

Ibime:


Well the other Messi seasons are 60, 59, 59, 58. . . .and assist go boku

Messi even got 29 assist the same year he scored 91 goals. He had more assists than Iniesta and Xavi combined. He wasn't just a tap-in merchant, he was creating and scoring at the same time. It was crazy.

timay1:


You guys are unsurprisingly having it backwards.

No one doubts his goal scoring ability as evidenced by his multiple highest goal score award. But that particular 91 goal year was a fluke and no matter how you twist my words, it won't stop it from being a fact.

Do you know how retard3d it sounds to say someone scored 91 goals in one year is a fluke?

So to you any major achievement that cannot be replicated is a fluke?

Prepare by revising your tax journals and notes.
