Être un messie

Hi Android17,

What do you think of the Dangote's refinery and the (expected) possibilities around solving the subsidy problems. Is there any hope in that regard.

Off the top of my head, I think there are different kind of structures that can be created for competitive economies (with Dangote's partnership of course) seeing as most of the Oil marketers are part of a cartel

Concerning Oil theft, I would think foreign mercenaries are our best bet - at least short term; especially if you think of the rot in our security system plus the incentive of Oil money

I would really like to hear your views

Someone go still score any goal by anyone in the team will make a difference

Well, I still want a Messi goal but want Poland ahead of Mexico.

Maybe the Saudis can help

Fair Play determines who goes second.

Think Poland still goes through

Olowu is Yoruba and understand Yoruba

Someone thinks user09 is nihilist, Glorousgbola is me

No, he isnt.

Just give it time. You would see what I see soon. I'm hardly ever wrong with these things.

Hahaha Bros, e don reach my turn? Wetin I do oo
Na Arsenal fan I be; nothing concern with Jorginho... Oga you detective job ko neccesary? Come out straight and ask me

Been on this forum with since forever with diff moniker before the wipeout; more conversant with share trading stock recomendation thread since the days of easi money, Wanaj0, BigJay,Father of one etc.. and subsequently property thread; similar wahala but na the kind fights wey dey make men money.
Only recently started chatting on footy; abeg na who Alternate account you dey suspect sey I be? Just curious ..

Of course u know who u are. I'm surprised folks here haven't caught onto u. Pretty much the same story with segunzik with the faux Yoruba in the username and in some of your comments?. I absolutely would take your bet if I were raumdeuter though

BTW I would really like an expository on Jorginho and what you think of him as a footballer. Is he someone u would like at Arsenal?

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde indeed. Creates an alternate to converse with perceived enemies with some semblance of decorum

The " Egbon" at the start of most sentences gave you away. I really hope it isnt malignant at this point.

Olowunl01, what do you think of Jorginho as a footballer?

Looks like I may have been slightly wrong with my earlier deduction. The NPD is strong on this one.

It's all a faux reality anyways

popizaino:
How many games have we played then? What is the assurance it wouldn't be 20points by now if we didn't sack him?

I already provided a counter argument by saying you should extrapolate however you like.

Just get ready to make more excuses for the guy

Before firing TT, we were just 6 points behind the league leaders. Guess what we're now 14 points behind them. More games, More points right?, Extrapolate however you like

There will sha be implications for not making top 4, U'll finally get the Cobham FC u've always wanted seeing as players will want to leave for Champions League Clubs.

Patience my ass, You can only be patient with someone who knows what he is doing, not this one who's out of his depth

Exonerate1:
Tuchel fans coming for Potter are hilarious. This team is literally tuchels from top to bottom. We played some of the worst football I've ever seen the past year. 2/4 in finals where we won on penalties and needed a last minute winner the other one.

They gave him 250M and he thought sterling was the solution to our attack and an injury prone mid player like fofana was going to improve us

To be fair, TT didnt want to be involved in transfers. The failure is a general one. Wonder what the actual JD of our scout is.

I'm not sure TT woke up and just decided to go for Fofana and Sterling. I can understand Kimpembe and Auba cos these are guys he's worked with in the past but as TT's shown with Pulisic, he's not one to be sentimental when it comes to actual performance on the pitch.

He's also the one guy I would have trusted to take us out of these bad phase

I dont even understand at this point, Have people suddenly forgotten the multiple issues TT dealt with last season? Injuries, average squad, fatigue, fixture congestion, handling more than his coaching job. Plus sanctions and takeovers e.t.c.

Why would anyone think that Graham Potter could cope with those problems better than Tuchel? Tuchel still managed 3rd, won the club World Cup, made it to two domestic cup finals, and the quarterfinals of the UCL where we barely lost over two legs to the eventual winners.

Feel like it's a long term project and that's why the new owners appointed him. He has shown at Brighton already that he's capable.

Capable of what?. The demands at Brighton is not even a semblance of what it is here. I do not think Graham Potter is the man for such a long term project. He's shown nothing to make me believe there will be better things to come further down the line. Everything he says and does reeks of mid table mediocrity.

I've seen some improvements already from games like Salzburg, wolves, Milan are even city.

No, I didnt see it. I did see individuals taking the bull by the horn and not that much of structure or synergy in play

Obviously there's still a lot of things to work on especially with our press and defending in general because we look all over the place sometimes.

I have tried to see what he sees and like most coaches, I pay attention to their thought process particularly their post match interviews to see if he sees/understands what went wrong and this Graham guy has been underwhelming. Looks like a guy who is a formless tactical roop; Oh, go out lads and try your best freestyle. Not in the least bit tactical to me. He's basically just continuing Tuchel's tactics and has not evolved a bit. Thinks and acts like a mid table manager

But truth is most of these players aren't good enough and there's little he can do about it.

Na... The players are certainly not worse than Brighton and Newcastle players. These past games have been horrible; no belief, presence, game management, control, nothing.

Exonerate1:
I still think Potter is the right guy.

Why do you think so?

Be like our coach came here to draw. This is pure mid table material

Too much Positional indiscipline. I'm not even seeing any plan in the way these peeps are playing

I do not like ball huggers and I certainly do not like this Broja guy

forgiveness:
Which Tuchel's useless squad building? Who told you Tuchel was incharge of buying players during Abramovich's era?


Besides, if you didn't buy Cucurella who could have replaced Chiwell?

Are you not aware Chelsea was banned from trading players and the transfer of ownership?

Haha. At least someone remembers events correctly

For the records, Tuchel did not like to be involved in transfers or other parts of Football management. We all saw the switch with Lukaku when Chelsea was sold

For instance, I can tell you that (data) metric led to the purchase Fofana and Cucurella. TT probably just acceded to what he was shown cos he needed a WB and CB desperately. Panic bought Auba and Sterling. Even Zakaria in the last minute was not well thought out

Infact TT pursuit of many players last season was head-scratching (Presnel and the likes). Well at least he admits he's bad at it. Boehly should have rather focused on hiring a fit for that aspect and football management in general rather than taking us to the gallows for a Yes man

FBS:
Lol

Potta and Booly should take a course in Data Analysis.

This is nonsense.

Please add Leadership courses and how to be a yes man in Football management

Exonerate1:
I don't understand most of these players honestly. One player would be with the ball and everyone just runs forward, nobody providing any passing option

Freestyling.

Typically happens when there's no system/tactics in place

Time for me to get my leadership degree.

Will probably stand a better chance than Potter in coaching Chelsea

Cant VAR override Yellow cards?

popizaino:
I don't think this is a problem from the way we played in the first half. If there were trying fanciful passes in the midfield and wanting more time on the ball by playing our usual pattern,we would have been exposed but with this tactics,i think both starting is justifiable.

Nobody, Absolutely no one who's watched them both in the middle would say the bolded.

For starters, RLC should never start for us cos he adds nothing to complement Jorginho. Very bad awareness and cannot or should not even be playing the CM position.

The pressure is constantly on Jorginho cos he's doing it alone

This Potter clown constantly pairing Jorginho and RLC in the middle tells me he's yet to learn

Fool doesn't even know the strength of his players after all.

Jorgiboy!!

Looks like Mount is playing RW

Arsenal playing high-line against us

Nawa oo

Kai and Auba constantly running into the same space. Potter should know better

This was and remains my view of the FX crisis.

Nigeria is cornered and do not have the wherewithal to compete. Everybody shorts the Naira these days

OasisX:


Situation is so terrible in Ghana to extent a Man knelt on live TV Programme to beg your President, but BAT is your headache.... LOL!

We are short of Shoes Shinners in Naija sha, so work dey for una!

That character isnt Ghanaian. I have said it a million times here

drisham:
Motm

This one was deserved.

A complete Midfield 8 in the game and very disciplined positionally

Kai and J5 were top in the game too

BlueMann:
I felt he was okay positionally, but I leave that for you to judge yourself, assuming you would watch the game later.

Yeah..Finally did.

I think he's ok too. Decent combo with J5 too. Did see him moving to create passing lanes just like Kovacic. Passes quickly too

There were few times though I saw him second-guessing where to be. That'll probably come after a few games.

An easy upgrade for me over RLC

BlueMann:
Likes to put in a tackle, good recovery runs, good goal, a tad sloppy on the ball on a couple of occasions but generally very good debut.

Positionally nko?

How aware is he? Dont need no thug running all over the place

How was Zakaria guys?. Would have liked to watch him, Particularly his combo with Jorgiboy
