You and this your youth policy ehh
Anyways I share your optimism and belief in our youths but I fear that the EFL Cup loss to West Ham may have dampened Conte's mind towards using them

Forget youth
Can we have Alonso and Rodriguez together??
Can we have Kondo and Matic,then Kante and Witsel??

That's over imbalance..... Rodriguez is just another Alonso
Kondo is just another Matic

Squad should be about varieties, that's why I wanted Matic,Kante,Chalobah,Verratti and Baker

Wingbacks should be Moses,Alonso,Kennedy/Ake,

Now imagine having Costa and Lukaku,Why pls??Has Michy done anything wrong?


The best teams aren't made of the best 11s,I understand the need for stars but After BBC Madrid have Morata and Vasquez,Barca have Whoever they have.....We don't need 22 stars,we only need 15 and 7 other players that fit the style and offer good service and if those 7 can be youth products,all well and good

Now I know why we are good friends on here. We have same policy when it comes to football.

I swear I hate international break.

Diego Costa injured.

Greatihex:
i agree with you.
In my opinion, i think this our new formation will tested more against teams that park the bus than teams that come out to play.

That's my thought when I was watching Belgium's match yesterday. I was like which space would hazard and Pedro explore against 10 men sitting deep behind the ball for almost 90% of the entire match duration? He did well yesterday , though .

I agree with you. Well said. The major factor is still that we need reinforcements by january in order to sustain a major title challenge and for tactical flexibility when needed.
Peace

Diego Costa injured.

GOSH!!! our major fear all along!!
I certainly hope he recovers early and I hope michy grabs this opportunity with both hands

Groin Injury. Time for Mr Bat to get off Twitter and show why he cost £30m.

..been praying that none of these lads gets injured but here we are.. SMFH!!

Costa have been very hungry for goals lately and the last thing he needs is anything that will slow his momentum.

Gawdddammit!!!

international breaks are never fun.


I hope doesn't stay longer than two weeks.

I am taking bigkesh side on this one with the exception of ake playing as a wingback.

Ake for me lacks the pace and dribbling skills required to play there. Kennedy looks good for me as a wingback while, ake should act as an understudy to magic or replace matic in lesser/smaller games.

Costa will be fit before Middlesbrough game.

pamcode:
For me it against teams that can match our fluid movement and pressing. Southampton and everton lost against us that leaves Man city, spurs and Liverpool. We seem to be very good with the ball i want to see how we do against those that are equally good or better with the ball or better still how we play when we aren't allowed to have the ball and play to our strenghts. We certainly need reinforcements before next season tighter schedules(i hope).

against Southampton, they had the ball, but our defending was resolute. Then, we were dangerous whenever we attacked, just like the Italians at the euros.

Costa better be fit for Middlesboro, I need his hat trick for my Fantasy team

I just wanna say thank you to Ibime, Airmark, Raumdeuter and Hazard, I already got my share of the £100.

Long live Chelseafc.

How did that happen bro ?

What a goal by coutinho !!! . Tier 4 player , according to dayo.

Neymar of God

1 goal 1 assist. Maybe its because he is playing against CHina and Iraq

Peter Cruch, Jamie Vardy have scored better goals that should make them tier 1

Not against world cup finalist, in a crucial match.

crucial for who? Brazil can afford to lose this and nothing would happen to their chances. Oliseh scored a better goal at the world cup

May be you thought this is their last match of the qualifiers. Ifthey lose this match, uruguay will topple them. In fact it is difficult to score such goal against a desperate argentine team, that needs this match more than anything. You must be joking .

Brazil is not in danger they top the table and 4-5 countries qulify. This is not a crucial game for Brazil maybe it is for Argentina but not for Brazil

Scoring one goal will not make Coutinho any higher than his tier just like it didnt do for Crouch Vardy or Oliseh

Apari , brazil/argentina match is nothing but south american classico. All the teams in 1 to 6 on the table, will have equal chances of qualifying if brazil loses this match. How you could say this match is not important is just ludicrous. They still have away matches to uruguay and colombia. Only a stvpid coach would joke with this match. You always bring stvpid points to win arguements.

Whether its classico or trashico makes no difference. This game isnt crucial for Brazil. That is the point Brazil is not in danger of not qualifying
Whether they have away match to Togo or Mauritania isnt the issue its that the game is not crucial for them

Your lack of education is the problem, A game vs Venezuela might be crucial but this game isnt crucial for Brazil

Yeah, you're right, even Barca had nothing to play for against Man City hence they switched off in the second half allowing City to win the game...Pep isn't special just like Coutinho, fair enough?

Pep has 2 CL only 1 coach living or dead has more CL titles than him. Yet to be sacked at any coach and the only coach to win a sextuple

Barca had nothing to play for hence Man City win wasn't exceptional just like Brazil had nothing to play thus we can't make much out of Coutinho's performance, fair enough?

Only on nairaland someone will say Belgium have quality players than Brazil. Smh

Lol, Neymar is the only quality player in Brazil, all other players are useless, but a certain Barca savior cant even score half goal in a star-studded Argentina team.

Cc Raumdeuter, should we conclude that Messi is too useless for Argentina same way Hazard is useless for Belgium?

Or do Belgium have a better squad than Argentina?

So you have dropped your Pep foolishness for another one? Just a post ago you were saying there is nothing special about Pep
