Leyqute:
I still can’t believe last season.

You guys only had to win 6 games out of 9.

Could’ve won the Liverpool game. Should’ve won the Soton game. Even the one against Newcastle.

Big f up. Enough blames to go around.

swiz123:
OasisX tried to be deceitful by making it look like the money was spent on feeding alone. While the money might be overstated, it is not reckless in the real sense of the word.

Buhari's 1 billion daily feeding program is the reckless one and not Otti's whose budget covers 3 months.

swiz123:
Buhari spent 100 each to feed 10 million pupils daily. So 1 billion was spent daily on feeding, and 30 billion monthly.

While I expect Otti to be more financially prudent, I must also point out your obvious bias. Cos it seems while Abia is your adopted state, Saudi is your adopted country and not Nigeria.

OasisX:


.....Abia is my adopted state and I won't be intimidated for talking about the state. LOL!

Lol
One of the jobs of modern attackers is to create and score goalscoring opportunities.

They're called attackers not strikers.

I don't see anyone calling Saka a striker

Jodera:
Apologize for my late response.

The word 'inverted' is just the use of wingers (or Midfielders and rarely strikers) to make closer to the goalposts for more goalscoring opportunities. Wingers those days are mostly known for assists and crosses (that's why you see Right footed players playing the RHS of the wing and the left footed players playing the LHS of the wing). This is to give them that comfortability to always cross the ball the the two strikers Always situated in the box. Those days, Saka would play at the LHS while Martinelli would play on the RHS.

But now, due to tactical switch, it has changed and we can see where Saka and Martinelli are playing now. Nobody would call them STRIKERS , as you falsely alluded.

Same for False 9. The introduction of false 9 is to create fluidity in the final 3rd and involvement in midfield play in order to maintain possession (by having that extra outlet in midfield). It doesn't necessarily have to be a Midfielder. (Trossard and Messi were never Midfielders even though I admit Firmino was).

So you saying, wingers are strikers, false 9 is a Midfielder and Inverted FB are Midfielders are all wrong.

We all know sef that most wingers presently nowadays aren't strikers.

raumdeuter:
Unless I'm mistaken, are you not the one who was here defending the Naira change of Buhari and Emefiele back in January when people were dying daily?

Is that not absolving govt of blames

Maybe it's another person sha

raumdeuter:
So this is his excuse that he went for unpaid salaries 2 days to Governorship elections and he is always seen at Labor Party campaign grounds he think say we be small pikin

No wahala no be only him sabi give excuse wey no dey cover your ankles

Those thugs sef didnt beat him, they only used hand to rub his face, Ajaero is lying say dem beat am

mostob:
Gbam! You made a nice point.


But the issue is Raya is not doing anything tangible to keep Ramsdale on his toes. He also is conceding useless goals.


We all praised Arteta for being ruthless when he benched Ramsdale but he needs to be ruthless too when dealing with Raya.

BlueRayDick:
Arteta caused it with his poor man management jare. He should at least let Ramsdale keep in UCL matches if it's Raya he prefers for EPL.

It makes no sense denying a player who was part of ur success story chance to even enjoy playing at the top level; it's unfair relegating him to Carabao cup just like that. Even if u want to ease him out of the club , u should go about it with sense.

Jodera:
Before I would answer you question first, please oblige me

Define an Inverted winger?

Jodera:
Lmaoooo...

You don formulate new definition from somewhere again.... As usual

mostob:
No be only swag...why you no add swagger join



Oga...DLP is different from DM. The differences are very clear. Google is your friend.


The example wey you bring no follow at all.

iamoyindamola:
Did he ever play DM for arsenal?
These guys are tripping

Jodera:
Wetin be this na??

Fabregas was special that 2006. He was never like Havertz and never was.

And yeah, it was shocking that Pires was removed instead of him (even Pires himself was shocked as it was his hometown) and that's partly due to his age factor. I agree it was a good decision tho but omorr no ever put Havertz and fabregas in the same sentence.

I beg you Spy

mostob:
You know this and you're still asking. You want a DLP to play as a lone DM for us?

Xhuntra:
You won't see yarimo, freestuffsng and the other evil men around this thread

Lush100:
Omo.na when Fabregas enter DM position for arsenal that Wenger time na when AFC and EPL football sweet.

I doesn't matter who was striking for us.
You will score goala even Chamak that was known for scoring with head was using leg score.
That's why he was called " FABREPASS"

mostob:
Jorginho is not a DM. That he plays there doesn't mean he is a DM. Do you even know who a DM is?



Many arsenal fans were not happy with his signing the. because he is not a pure DM we needed to back Partey up.

mostob:
Jorginho? the same Jorginho? He is the one you're relying on as backup to Rice? And you want us to win trophy?


No be clear eye you use type this one Spy

BlueRayDick:
I really don't understand how Wike won this round o.

Wike planned to impeach Fubara using the HOA members, Fubara's loyalists foiled the attempt and Fubara is still the governor as of today.

Whatever compromise they both reached behind closed doors we don't know, but what we do know is that the impeachment move failed and Fubara will most likely finish his 4 year term. Maybe Wike will win the war eventually, but this first round of battle surely favored Fubara.

Or how u take see am ?

Itsrm:
Lol, he didn't win anything. Wike still controls everything. Wike is also not a fool. He knows SIM is no longer to be trusted. He already even hinted it in one of his press conferences that the last election may be over but another one is coming.

Itsrm:
Shey I said it at the time. The people pushing him don't mean well for him. Eyes don clear now

I doubt he will go for any second term. I seriously doubt.

mostob:
Where he is going to get that replacement is what I can't say. Unless we want to do snatch and grab...proven DM is kinda scarce. I think he might just go for Zubimendi but that won't be easy.

daveP:
Na Italian club get that kine liver without fear for the repercussions that aren't even in the rule book. But it's true. This game was a premium robbery. I wasn't expecting a win, but what the hell did i just watch??


Funny enough, Nketiah was superb tonight. But i will not lie, Arsenal need Victor Osimhen. He is the only 9 that can reduce the uselessness of Saka and Nelli on the pitch right now. All the two need to do, instead of that rubbish backwards pass, is to just find space to cross for him. Besides, his pace alone and shot power and accuracy and aerial ability.....

This is not the EPL.

mostob:
No.... Read what I quoted bro. What you listed as the differences between both are contradictory.

mostob:
You are right and wrong at the same time. Yea, both Partey and Jorginho differs. Partey do drop at the CB too. The difference is that Partey like to hold the middle. You won't find him at the wing or ahead of the middle circle during buildup. Jorginho likes to roam to create fluidity which exactly is his main issue. He is not always there whenever you need him.


Partey would still stay and secure the box during counter attack but Jorginho will approach the ball carrier instead. That's the difference between the two.

BlueRayDick:
Well, his best is not good enough for a team that sets sight to win at least one major trophy in a season.

In a tight football match those who play football know that there will come a time in the match when u just need one player to take the initiative and turn the tide of the game. Anytime the ball gets to Jorginho, and he just decides to either lay a safe pass to one of the back 4 or when he gets caught up and he has to put his body on the line to win an unnecessary foul; I just shake my head.

I have played with such players before and I know how frustrating it can be especially for the attackers. They will be left flat footed and just be running around waiting for that incisive pass that will never come.

toluxe0075:
Omo, which kind talk be this. After coming up with ridiculous “off the ball” excuse for Harvertz, here you are again with a new role for Jorginho.

You are coming up with this “transit passes around the 3 defense” excuse because he performs woefully at the simple responsibilities expected of a dm. Even with the transition passes talk, Jorginho still average at it sef.

Besides, if he can’t transit passes around the defense to the attack, why then is he playing at all. This is expected of all dms. Partey does this and provides more defensively and attack wise just like many other dms do.

Even your statement that someone is “stuck in the 90s football” makes your defense of Jorginho more ridiculous because he doesn’t even know how to carry out the minimum responsibilities expected of a dm talk less of taking up more responsibilities expected of modern day dm.

Besides, why should we keep playing Jorginho or have players like him if they will keep being average at the responsibilities expected of them. Why should we go into games with them hoping for a miracle to happen for them to perform.

We benefited immensely from Partey’s presence in our games because he gives more just as Rodri does for Man city. So all these “new roles” and excuse for Jorginho and the likes don’t cut it.

A001:
Lols, I understand you clearly. I used to reason like this too when I was religious during my university days.

But life isn't like that. I didn't say voodoo doesn't exist. What I'm saying is, "voodoo" and "juju" are wrong terms.

It's mostly used by ignorant people. The correct term is "mysterious".

Underlying those mysterious feats people call voodoo, juju, spiritual, supernatural are some unknown laws of nature (unknown physics, chemistry, biology).

They're manifestations of some unexplained science generally.

About the spiritual realm, scientists will soon start demystifying that.

You see all those terms like dark matter, dark energy, etc., which you might have been seeing around in modern times, refer to aspects of what religious people call "spiritual realm", though most religious people and scientists don't know this at the moment.

Even many scientists doing research on dark matter and dark energy don't know.

In the native Yoruba culture, it's dark matter and dark energy our forefathers used to refer to when they use the term "weju" (meaning "being able to see the unseen realms" ).

Dark matter is simply matter that exists in the unseen realms, and dark energy is energy originating from the unseen realms.

I don't want to say much on the subject. These are not what to be discussed in detail on Nairaland because they're meant for the scientific community.

It's ignorant or mischievous people that call mysterious phenomena "voodoo", "juju".

If you know what you're talking about (unless you want your technique to remain a secret), you'd call it by its specific name.

For instance, if I know some codes to teleport, i.e. disappear (I'm sure you call this feat juju or voodoo in your area as many do in Yorubaland too), if I want to hide my knowledge from people, I'd just tell them it is "voodoo" or "juju".

But if I don't want to do this, I'd state the specific name of my stealth (or teleportation) technology.

Does it involve hiding in certain segments of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum (the popular technique of our ancestors and forebears called ofe in Yoruba and similar terms in the other cultures around)? So that stealth technology is EM-based.

There's no juju or voodoo here.

Does the technique work based on the use of an invisibility cloak? Again, people are working on this, and breakthroughs will be achieved in the coming years.

No juju here as well. When I hear the word juju or voodoo, I just say to myself that it's either this person using it is ignorant (which is the case for most people) or is being secretive.

liveLongNprospa:
I understand this.
But whatever reservations we might have for this man doesn't give government the right to treat him this way and then police still comes and lies about it to our face.
