Johnpaul01: As I said before, the possession style takes time to pick up. Guardiola did not win the league in his first season. In Guardiola's second season, he got rid of the chaff. Sarri is building something special. The results will come with time but first he must get out the chaffs like Fabregas. Fabregas has been so lazy most times he plays. Lacks the work rate to meet up. Look at Silva at City and see how hard he works for the team. He is about Fabregas age and played in the U17 and U20 World Cup with Fabregas but Silva still puts in a whole lot of effort for the team. Not just passes. Fabregas lacks the work rate and cannot be compared to a work horse like Kovacic. |

TheGoodJoe:Iniesta came from the youth academy, he started out as a youngster and played even after he left his peak, but Fabregas came in at his peak and spent only 3 seasons with them, who is supposed to have better ratios. Zlatan has more goal ratio for Manchester united than Rooney but you can't compare his impact with Rooney because of the time factor, get this into your head |

einsteine: Its just funny how you write. I posted something up there and you are still saying it's not true, Kovacic was wrongly used as DM throughout his time at Inter? A role he played that Real came calling? I laughed with your last statements about Fabregas, so you know he did well enough at Barca. But your low capacity brain still branded him flop. Why was Guardiola booted out of Barca eveb though he won a lot of trophy for them? Why was this same Higuain that your Chelsea signed booted out of Juventus even though he scored a lot of goals for them?? Go figure. |

Johnpaul01:Jul 06, 2014 thegoodjoehunt: https://www.nairaland.com/1792593/netherlands-vs-costa-rica-world/35#24483744 That was my statement in 2014 before Van Gaal began his job at Manchester United. Van Gaal is an extremist when it comes to possession football but required a long time. I knew Manchester United lacked the patience to work with Van Gaal. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by Johnpaul01: 10:27pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
TheGoodJoe:Guardiola doesn't play possession game, he goes all out attack, and he will be forever grateful to Fabregas for his time at barca. Chelsea has become a boring team, that their match thread don't get to front page again, out of their last four matches only 1 moved to FP, and that was because they were playing against arsenal. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:27pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
Johnpaul01: Fabregas in his spell at Barcelona had a better assist ratio but Iniesta always supplied the right ammunition Barcelona needed to build a dynasty. That is the point I am making. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by Johnpaul01: 10:29pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
TheGoodJoe:But he was sacked by barca because he left them 1 point above relegation zone, that's what you get when you posses and not attack |

Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by Johnpaul01: 10:31pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
TheGoodJoe:And I am trying to tell you that he should have a better ratio because he spent his peak there and he did not stay long, its a normal thing |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by oyetpel(m): 10:33pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
einsteine: Not replying you this tard again. But for other people who might be reading, i will make this last shot So because Brozovic played DM at the world that makes him a DM? FYI, Kovacic played DM for Inter and during 2014 world cup, Croatia coach also used him in that same DM he was playing at Inter alongside Modric and Rakitic but Croatia came home empty handed. Dalic learnt that lesson and he never used Kovacic to start any important game at 2018 world cup. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by Johnpaul01: 10:34pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
TheGoodJoe:seems you don't know what possession game is Guardiola don't tell his boys, go and possess the ball, he tells them go and attack, attack always and its because they are always attacking that they tend to possess a lot but sarri says just be with the ball, don't loose the ball and when you get a good chance you can shoot. That's the difference between attacking and possession game. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:35pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
Johnpaul01: Even when Fabregas was at Barcelona with Iniesta. Keep in mind, Iniesta is older but his impact on the the team was far better than Fabregas when you reference his influence to the style of play. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:37pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
Johnpaul01: Not true at all. I am a City fan and a big follower of Guardiola. You do not get to be the second best teams with respect of possession by going all out attack. Our first rule is to keep the ball. Second rule is win the ball back as fast as possible before we attack. Most attacks are done after creating spaces in the opponents half with well played possession football. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by Johnpaul01: 10:38pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
TheGoodJoe:What are you saying? they were both young then and iniesta was a better player, which one is iniesta was older like he was above 30 |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by einsteine(m): 10:39pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
oyetpel: You are a fool and base idiot. Show us your coaching badges since you know better than the coaches who have found Fabregas to be past his prime. May fresh lightning discolor your ear if you don't keep to your promise not to reply |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:40pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
Johnpaul01: As I said before, Van Gaal needed time to build Manchester United. He changes a team's style of play from its DNA. At AZ, I think Van Gaal finished 13-14 on the table. The next season, he won the Eredivisie with AZ. It takes patience and a strong heart to work with Van Gaal because he believes in his philosophy to the core. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by Johnpaul01: 10:40pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
TheGoodJoe:Then how come did sterling say that Guardiola tells him not to be afraid of loosing the ball |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:42pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
Johnpaul01: Iniesta is older, Even though it can be like two years, in that perspective, Fabregas was closer to his prime years than Iniesta but Iniesta offered more class. Finito. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by Johnpaul01: 10:42pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
TheGoodJoe:then what made him to get fired below at 16th position one season after winning the league at barca |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:44pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
Johnpaul01: Sterling plays on the forward line which play a vital role in the attacking segment of our game play. Most time, close to the opposing goal. When we get to that section, we can lose the ball with the mentality of winning the ball back as soon as possible. That does not mean Stones or Fernandinho will play with such mindset because if we lose the ball in that section, we are exposed. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:45pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
Johnpaul01: Impatience of the Barcelona board. It takes a strong heart and patience to work with Van Gaal. When you look back, you will see he was working on something phenomenal. His knowledge is too deep. Deeper for even the masters of the game. Let alone you and me. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by Johnpaul01: 10:46pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
TheGoodJoe:because iniesta is a better player in all angle, even when Suarez is at his core prime, messi will still perform better than him even though messi is older and that's because messi is better than him in all angles. But what Fabregas has achieved, Kovacic can never in his entire life achieve it. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by Johnpaul01: 10:48pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
TheGoodJoe:But hazard and willian don't attack the way sterling and sane does, they still pass the ball even in attack |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by Johnpaul01: 10:51pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
TheGoodJoe:Impatience after winning league?. Van gaal did not end that season, he was sinking down the table day by day and it was looking like they were heading for relegation, I just have a question for you, if you were barca president, will you leave van gaal to continue coaching and risk a club of that capacity going to relegation?? |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:52pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
Johnpaul01: So you now see my point. Despite Fabregas having high goals and assists, better than Iniesta, he was not the better player. So that is also why Kovacic is a better fit to Sarri than Fabregas. He offers more to the modern day system than Fabregas. A Fabregas in his prime lacked the work rate to break into a set up like Liverpool with the likes of Naby Keita, Henderson, Wijnaldum. You might think of his passes but the intensity and work rate takes a bigger part of the game. That is why you see the likes of Vidal taking center stage. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:54pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
Johnpaul01: The system is still growing and the systems are not replicas. What matters is that Possession is a big part of Guardiola and Manchester City game. It comes first. Sterling and Sane were not performing at the current frequency when Guardiola first came. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:56pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
Johnpaul01: I showed you a link where I was warning Manchester United fans about Van Gaal. The president or me lack the deep understanding of the game than Van Gaal. We will work with our laymen understanding to sack. That does not make us right or more knowledgeable than Van Gaal. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by Johnpaul01: 10:56pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
TheGoodJoe:Fabregas never had higher assists than iniesta, iniesta and ozil were still la liga best assist givers from 2010 to 2014 |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:57pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
Johnpaul01: Ratio. Ratio. Check the average of Fabregas assist to game at Barcelona and check Iniesta. You will see Fabregas had a higher ratio but Iniesta was the better player. |
Re: Chelsea Have Today Completed The Signing Of Striker Gonzalo Higuain(Pics) by Johnpaul01: 11:01pm On Jan 24, 2019 |
TheGoodJoe:Guardiola game still reflects on the creativity of his midfielders, if not for injury, de bruyne would have been the highest assist giver in EPL this season but Kovacic lacks creativity, he cannot create chances |
