raumdeuter:

Na my normal area of the table I dey like dis. Forget the anomaly of last season.

Na Obainojazz you go dey wonder how e take dey where him dey.

If no be your fortunate win against me, na me for dey top table now

Haaland (C) hattrick please.

Ibime:
You are wrong

You cannot watch a Maresca attack and say he has not found a way to always overload the opposition and score

Goals are almost always guaranteed in Chelsea match, the question is whether we have a balance between attack and defence so as not to concede on counters

Sir, we beg to differ...

airmark:
You don't need any balancing rim, fix the attack. Period.

Unlimited22:
No because it can't be the same thing we've been advocating for since 2024

Lol

Unlimited22:
Excuse me o, whether we have a WHAT?

E shock you say that word is being used more often here lately

Popi mention don explode

popizaino:
You guys can whine about the defence all you want but truth be told,our coach EM is not it.

We have a billion dollar team but we still play ball like some amateur team national league.

When are we going to see good attacking flow of passes,good ball circulation even when pressed?

When is our striker going to get decent supply of ball to take on defenders and not rely on some individual brilliance?

When are we going to be able to control the midfield without passing back to keep off pressure?

When are we going to stop killing attacking threats from corners by always running back to the goal keeper?

When are we going to try something new in the third half of our opponents?

Don't you guys watch other big team play,do they have the kind of disjointed passing options that characterise our own game play always.

The better we open our eyes to the fraud this EM is,the better for us.
C3x3aa
As it is now,we are not better off than last season expect some fluke win against Fulham so weeks ago despite strengthing our squad in the summer.

The earlier EM goes back and challenge himself, to improve on his own tactics,the better for us.

I will not say more than this.

I thought we create loads and loads of chances but our striker waste all those chances. Did we suddenly stop creating chances for our strikers?

Dubravka clean sheet

FBS:
Is this possible in every game? Like your opponent came to play purely for your own entertainment? How you take dey watch ball sef?

Football is simple even if appears complicated.

1. To WIN any given match - a team MUST score more than the opponent. Margin of win is secondary because you can't always control it. Winning is key = GOALS.
2. Beside the coach, you need a balanced team - read - Ultra sharp attackers, energetic and IQ midfielders, formidable back-line and a dependable GK.
However, that one no mean say you won't concede because mistakes are inevitable and some goals cannot just be stopped. If you like pack 50 Yashins in goal.
3. At this level, a team probably wont always concede 5 goals in a game, same way a team won't always score 5 goals in a game. Obviously you might want to argue it's contradictory - it's not, but hey, if in doubt check point 1.

We beg to disagree on the bolded...

Period!

Calibrator:
Not fit... Will miss two GWs or more.

I can see you are my opp in Bongo.

Lol

I no dey even check that Bongo sef. Na FA Cup be my koko.

This kind ultra defensive lineup wey you play... Na for DefCon points? Lol. Let's watch and see..

Calibrator:
Is it not the same Gabriel Gudmundsson that is currently flagged Knock-75% chance of playing that is presently running up and down the left flank for Sweden national team?


Sarr, I know what you are, you national team deserting mercenary 🫵🫵

Is Sarr fit? I sold him already

iamoyindamola:
I miss deadline again that's why i hate international break

Paper tiger and excuse 5 and 6

Ellexy:
Oha for Oha

Na so nah

raumdeuter:
No one has won the world cup in Africa.

That world cup attendance is the last one we made
Peseiro couldn't he got 2 points in 2 games towards world cup

Afcon semi, afcon final. None of them won the trophy

World cup attendance is the key

Charity begins at home.

In 2 years, Peseiro took us farther than what Rohr gave us in 5 years at home, Africa.

Remember, he was not sacked. Who says he couldn't have taken us to World Cup if he did the 5 years Rohr did?

raumdeuter:
Peseiro nor Rohr won the AFCON

Rohr took us to the world cup, Peseiro didnt

Rohr nor Peseiro won the World Cup.

Peseiro took us to AFCON final, Rohr didn't.

raumdeuter:
At least Rohr took us to a world cup, which one did Peseiro, Eguavoen, Finidi take us to

At least Peseiro took us to within 90mins of winning AFCON....Which one did Rohr won for us?

raumdeuter:
Where is he now, Did he take us to the world cup?

The one Rohr took us to, how far?

raumdeuter:
Peseiro that is the coach and how many points did he get us in the world cup qualifiers?

He took SE to AFCON final, surpassing Rohr.

raumdeuter:
timbros and the anti Rohr crew

How market. I hope you are enjoying the entertaining Eagles

You're not talking of a coach that actually took SE to AFCON final. You dey talk of Rohr

Ibime:
Don't make me call Gernot Rohr for you

Wetin concern me

So una finally succeeded in robbing South Africa to get one point

Silentgroper:
Well they did finish third three consecutive times , I'm not sure but I think that was okocha's era .

Bolton finish 3rd three consecutive times? When?

raumdeuter:
Make we no lie, make we no steal, Okocha is the worst player on that list

Lol... I know say food don done for you as long as na Okocha

But seriously, I no understand how Adebayor top Diouf because he played for bigger teams but Okocha, playing for the likes of Fenerbahce and Hill, top Adebayor.

BlueRayDiick:
You guy was just not good enough.

You are only confirming the fact that he was best known for his indiscipline records rather than his goal scoring record.

Baba Ur Senegalese Joey Barton no reach Adebayor when it comes to goal scoring which is their primary roles as footballers.

People who rate Adebayor higher than Diouf do so because they watch him actually score goals instead of working as a part time hooligan and part time footballer

I don withdraw for the conversation the moment I see "pooling booth award"... Nothing else will convince you again with that mentality.

BlueRayDick:
Strikers are judged by goals they scored on the pitch in their career, not pooling booth award.

Adebayor scored far more goals than Diouf can ever think of. His work rate saw him move from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1, to EPL and to La Liga.

Diouf was busy dropping poverty numbers for a striker and ended up not scoring a single goal in a season at a top club like Liverpool. Shame!

Ah! The famous pooling Booth award. Lol.

AirBere:
Well, we can agree to disagree.
My submission is that Diouf was a forward with poverty numbers even at small clubs. His first big move was an absolute disaster. The potential was there but that's just about it.

He's not what you think he is to be honest. So yeh, he's better than Adebayo according to you. I don give up

Fair enough.

BlueRayDick:
Is Togo bigger than Senegal ? Oya tell us why Adebayor has more international goals than Diouf considering the fact that Adebayor played for Togo and Diouf played for Senegal.

Adebayor lasted longer. Diouf went on multiple bans and retired early.

Now how many trophies did Adebayor win with all those goals?

BlueRayDick:
He probably thinks we have forgotten all about Diouf who was best known for his indiscipline on the pitch rather than the number of gaols he scored.

There's a reason timbros is running away from Talking about the number of goals both players scored as strikers.

You get loads of chances to score for Arsenal than for a club like Leeds or Blackburn, no? Naturally, Adebayor will score more goals than Diouf.

But what did those goals achieve for Adebayor? That's the main issue. Both for the team and for himself individually, the goals amount to nothing. So what's the use?

Adebayor playing for tops teams in Europe, one trophy.
Diouf playing for small small teams in Europe, three trophies.

Tell me, which is better?

BlueRayDick:
Guy U are stanning a Diouf that didn't score one single goal in a seaosn playing for a Top side like Liverpool.

It is a 4cking disgrace bro! A striker for that matter, not a defender or goalkeeper o. Ederson wey be goalkeeper sef dey score in a season

I don't stan Diouf.

But you see where Adebayor dey? Diouf pass am. FIFA is with me on this one

BlueRayDick:
No, show me the number of goals scored by Diouf in his club career and also show the number of goals he scored at the national team level playing for a star studded Senegal team.

Let us check who is the most prolific goal scorer between the two of them.

You are the one who falsely claimed Adebayor didn't do anything apart from playing for big teams and I had to show you his achievement with African Minnows like Togo to clear that false claim. What he did is tantamount to a single player dragging minnows like Lichtsteiner or Luxembourg to the World cup

Diouf scored lesser number of goals compared to Adebayor. He played for smalls teams. That's his excuse. Adebayor played for bigger teams... Now the question is, what did Adebayor win with those big teams? That's where he flopped.

Did FIFA put Adebayor in their All Star Team because he scored a million goals in qualifiers? Did FIFA recognise Adebayor in FIFA 100 because he dragged Togo to World Cup?

Spot the difference.

afrodoc:
Those of us that watched the mega way Diouf flopped at Liverpool can't be deceived. In his 2nd and final season, he played 33 games and scored ZERO goal. Goalkeeper stats.

He has FIFA recognition. That's something Adebayor can only dream of.

He performed in the highest level in football: World Cup.
