You rate a player based on what his role was and how he executed it. It is futile using your own basis for the assessment as it will not make sense.

Similar to the way Keepers and Defenders are not rated based on their number of assists or goals scored as important as those are. They are rated on the specific role meted to them by the manager. If Ederson has a 95% save rate but did not help with the build up of play, you can bet your bottom dollar that Pep will seek a replacement because Pep expects those of his keepers sometimes maybe even more than making saves.

To that end, Grealish was actually more important to City's success last season than both Gundogan and Bernardo Silva put together. I'll even say Pep trusted him much more than KDB but that is talk for another day. His role was not to rack up assists and goals - City scored a ton of them the season prior. He was to provide vent and control for a team that was transitioning into a different playing style than previous seasons. One in which, City could not afford to be overly chaotic in attack like Pep had dictated in the past. He also helped alot in tracking back and making life difficult for opposing wingers and fullbacks alike, something Mahrez could never do regardless of his goal or assists tally.

How did Grealish fair compared to his RnRs? He scored a solid A and would have been A+ if he had chipped in more goals or assists. That is about it. Unlike some other players who overdribble because they have no where to go or due to the fact that they never see the whole field at play, Grealish needed to dribble in and out of channels as a pressure relief system for City. You either fouled him or he went past you and that was instrumental to how City played.

Some people may need to rewatch Bayern Munich and Real Madrid against City to understand the impact Jack made. In the 2nd leg of the Bayern tie in particular, Pep specifically asked him to dribble City out of Bayern's press and he never missed a beat. As soon as the ball was given to him we knew Bayern would either foul or Grealish would have his way. Trust me, you may never appreciate his role until you are supporting the team he is doing it for.

I hate to quote the man but Mourinho put it best when he said football has been ruined by people who judge every single player on stats. Some aspects of the game are intangible. End of.

Negro I have seen sloths that are quicker than you. If a child is born to Nigerian parents in the US what is the nationality of the child? Does a US citizen by birth not have more privileges than those who naturalized to become one hence "moreso" or can naturalized Americans run for president? Take a lesson and stop being eternally ignorant.

Meanwhile, in your own part of Obi-Akpor people abroad don't visit Nigeria for vacation, a ceremony, Xmas or just because? Pray tell, do they fly in and swim back or won't they need to have booked a return flight to get back to their base?

Here I was thinking the major problem was the frequent manic episodes that have bedeviled this Ikwerre John Nash with his ugly mind, making him to see and say things that do not exist but everyone with a working brain can see you are also an inveterate liar. In truth, you are more a liar than you are schizo and that says alot. Why not post the screenshot of any bet where hands were involved to show anything was lost if it is true? You tried to brokeshame it flopped, man started crying because what I throw away on one part of my round trip is the reason he was readjusting his budget so his wife won't call him the mad wretched Austin powers she got hitched to.

I peeped at your recent conversations with others and you were being called mumu on repeat. Imagine my surprise mumume. No wonder you think you should be the sole arbiter on the Depape saga since you know he is foreshadowing what your life will be like 2 years from now; Psychotic deadbeat father to a daughter he obviously molests. You guys probably have the same dietician only that you are more obese and 5 burgers away from the heart attack that will kill you before you reach Depape's current age.

You look exactly like Wike if he was bleached. The same body frame, dance steps, bow-legs, charisma and with the same hoarse voice. Spoiler; but nobody would listen to an Amoebic version of Wike on a rap track (which is what you sound like on records neega...facts ). Actually, scratch that. Wike is a fitness model with Drake-like cadence and vocals compared to you.

Rehash the 20k naira nonsense from now till your next crisis, you can't spite me. In your inner mind you know I am boujie to the prime and I deal with S's with 2 lines . In fact, the only people it will bite are those who would never get it from me. I don't know how soon you would get it into your big bungalow head but those your money lines are weak and nobody who ain't trying to die will use them to bungy.

And for someone who is not interested in anything I have to say isn't it ironic that you quote me alot? I won't even get that type of echo if I yelled in your trophy room considering how empty it is. I have told you to stop but you won't because you think if you square up to a king you'll get raised to the power.

Are you not the shameless coward that started fellating the man who exposed your mental problems? The same you who has done how many paternity tests to be certain the kid is yours? You are a career nairalander. You are in no position to be talking about credibility or honor mister self-professed rapist and cheap olosho patronizer.

If knowing about events in early 2000s makes me old, how does that logic work for my knowledge of events in the 1860s? Nigga you put the 'stewpi' in stewpid. It's no secret; I am Kawhi Leonard's agemate. That I am more advanced than you should not make you conclude that I am as old as you the geriatric fat phuck of the football section. Remember what your "conclusions" did for you in the past? Stout little man, if lying isn't your favorite pastime why don't you provide where I claimed to be a senior manager or may militants strike members of your family still inhaling soot in PH.

This is NL. My name is the moniker and nothing else. You're not the first person to think I was old because of the knowledge I possess in many fields. It was fun while y'all ninnies made the assumption (wetin concern me?) I just remained cool and relaxed like permed hair.

"Everybody put their information radarada..." I don't care that short men like you like to tell tall tales to make up for what life did not give you. Come to think of it, is that not how we know the people who stole company money and got fired or the ones who get body slammed by their wives ahome? Or the ones who use pictures of other people to represent what they look like?

This daft guy is looking for honor amongst monikers on a faceless forum. How silly can you be? I am ashamed for the good people in Manchester who are hosting this unfortunate schizophrenic quarter wit.

iDIMe the once bright light now faded. I can perceive your napoleon complex from this side of the divide. 5'6 negroes think when a census for full humans is being done they will qualify. You don't. You are a waste man and a waste of a man. Do as those voices in your libtard head are telling you and become the transwoman you have been destined to be. Atleast identify as the cunt you really are.

Did your mum not look you in the eye and tell you you are her fattest biggest mistake? Always bringing your folks up pretending you take care of them because you hope they'll reverse the curse they placed on you. It is irreversible.

Wake up. Your hex is set in stone. I told you, besides the psychosis currently dealing with you, brace up for the myocarditis that will come from the shots you took and surely get you killed like takeoff.

Stop quoting me trying to project your mental illness on me. I already warned people not to take the mainstream media seriously but wait till after the elections to know the full story.

Anybody who is not a prideful dummy will know that throwing CNN, FOX etc with their talking points into a meaningful conversation about truth should not be taken seriously. They lied to you and you were quoting them about COVID-19 such that when the truth came out you had egg on your face only to shamlessly claim you gave room for being possibly wrong. Which is why I brought your argument style to you again because you are doing the same thing a deluded preprogrammed cursed nutjob will do: bullishly parrot the talking points of the people who have every intent and reputation to lie and when they walk it back (which they will), you'll pretend you considered the alternate argument.

You have tried the broke shaming, we don't know your location, and who you are angle. I laughed all through because protecting my identity is more important to me than settling for your NL games. Just because I have decided to defend myself a little, you are now claiming I am responding because I am trying to lie. Don't other Nigerian Americans travel back from time to time mumume?

I told you to believe what you want. Why must you engage me? Why must I see your point? Mental illness is not transferred by replying NL posts so no matter how you quote me I won't be contracting it from you. You are almost 40 man, act your age. If you are not ashamed for yourself I am sometimes ashamed for you.

Post what you want, throw shade, just don't quote me while at it. I don't know why that is too hard for you. I am happy with my life. I am content. I don't try to engage you or respond to your posts yet you are always looking for me. Do I look like your psychiatrist?

Mumume, for the umpteenth time we have nothing in common. I am not a short bow-legged obese looking bastard with documented manic episodes who is too prideful to admit he was wrong.

My only sadness is that Davido's son died and not you.

This bellend can see the words written there and is still calling it conspiratorial. No be mumu you be?

I don't know who he is. . .but I know his name and he is my friend.

Did Shaggy not teach people how to say it wasn't me even if you are caught red-handed in a shower?

This clown thinks Paul Pelosi's story started today. You are a learner. Even during his recent DUI case, the police refused to release the identity of the passenger that Paul was with when he was arrested. Those who know know why they did so.

Stop quoting me. Anybody can write anything on a charge sheet, it is what you can prove beyond reasonable doubt that the court will hold. Any bow-legged half wit should know this.

This money angle you keep harping on is not making the impact you think it is making. So if I give someone who was insulting me money I prove what to you?

I'll rather be rich in real life than be on NL pretending for people who don't know me. lol

Nobody brags about flight ticket but you are bringing up 20 thousand naira to broke shame me?

Are you not a clown like this?

Yea, being charged for burglary is proof that said person will be convicted of it. Especially when Police Dispatch has the victim saying "he is a friend. . .his name is David".

Buahahahaa. Oga leave talk till they confirm I am right again. I will be here to read your excuses. That is if your partner does not recommit you to a mental health facility. . .again.

We know who the mental case is. When you ask them to point out the facts now we will start getting shalaye about I was only called a nutcase many years ago but now me and him are best friends so . . .

As if it excuses you from being the bow-legged schizo that you are.

We will be here when you will swear you entertained the possibility of David Depape being Paul Pelosi's escort gone bad. No be you again.

Anu mmpama.

I don't want to have any conversation with you. Post your regular lies and leave me out of it. Anyone with a working knowledge of NL can tell if Eruditor deactivated or not. If you will lie about something that is easily fact-checkable, imagine what lengths you will go to to hide your big fat L.

Also, you don't have enough money to broke shame me. My return flight will pay your inflated heating bills for one year no hassles and I'd still have change. Stop trying to play dirty to muddy the waters. Trust me, I can go down that line but I have a conscience to live with.

Your screenshot there has you arguing that the CIA concluded Sars cov-2 was not engineered. Now you are speaking from 2 sides of your obviously smelly mouth by claiming you considered the possibility of a lab leak.

What will sars Cov-2 be doing in a virology lab (where viruses are engineered) before it can leak? Did you ask yourself that when you were fiending for a copout? We ain't discussing bitcoins here man. Some of us are fully-funded postgraduate degree wielding Chemical Engineers from one of the best universities in the whole wide world ffs. Pity us by not exposing your ignorance.

This retard is arguing that the home of the number 3 citizen of the country does not have secret service protection? Is this the iota of intelligence you are trying to brandish? Why don't you wait till after the midterms to be sure you won't catch another L like all the other ones you have suffered so far?

You mean someone whose BLM and LGBTQ themed residence in one of the gayest cities in the world- San Francisco - and is antichristian decided to be far-right in September of 2022? This is the intelligence I am supposed to contend with? If you are unsure about something why not wait so you won't have egg on your face?

Is that not how you argued CIA concluded something that DARPA files debunked the very next year? Was the Hunter Biden laptop not Russian disinformation till it was not?

This habitual L catcher is quoting FBI when a simple bodycam will dissolve all doubts.

The number 3 Citizen of the country with all the security cameras but no video evidence showing "a friend...His name is David" breaking into the house.

All the security details attached to the speaker and her house were non-existent during this "break in".

What else? An antichristian gay male prostitute, San Francisco resident, nudist, castro-lover, hippie with more pride flags than a banner of lions druggist fits the profile for a conservative.

Remember when the CIA confirmed Sars-COV2 was completely natural and had nothing to do with a lab in Wuhan? Buahahahahaha!

monerozi5590:


Chief this ur comparism d some how. We Nigerians critize our country out of love. Is our country but if an outsider critize or insult Nigeria we go change am for d person wotowoto.
Are you an American? You are living in someone else's country and you are critizing them in anything thing that they do. Why not just leave the country since you don't like them and go to ur beloved Russia.

I made an original post and then edited it before you saw it because I don't like sharing personal information here. To answer your question, Moreso than some people on here "defending" the US.

Let me also point out that Russia is not my beloved. I might agree with Russia concerning Ukraine but that does not mean I agree with them on everything. Same goes for the topics being discussed on here. That is why it is politic for anyone who wants to disagree with me to only challenge me on what I have expressly written and not what they think.

And Mary was a perpetual virgin.

Buahahahahaha.

monerozi5590:


Android22 are you in USA? If you are how do you feel reading the above post?

No country is perfect. Some people have gone to jail for long terms in the US due to possession of Marijuana. The USA has some good internal policies based on a very strong constitution but some of her external or foreign policies are evil. I might prefer living in the US to China due to the former but it does not mean I cannot criticize the latter when it is errant or diabolical. Nigerians do same about their country and it does not impair on their loyalty to the country.

Says the person whose own medical records shows he is mentally unstable. Buahahaha.

They'll never quote your actual words but instead use stupid strawman arguments because your actual words were right.

Just be ignoring me o Jare. My own is to come and laugh when you are wrong...again. The again part must hurt real bad.

There is a reason I ignore you and people like you. Even when time will prove you wrong again you'll just create a narrative in your own mind where you said what ended up being right and the other person said what was wrong. Schizo things.

You've stupidly jumped to another fake web page created on Friday and then deleted on Saturday after it was busted as a fake. When we have 911 voice note, picture evidence showing shards of glass broken from inside of the house to outside, police report showing both men were in underwear and the accused's history as an antichristian, LGBTQ+ patron, socialist and seasoned hippie.

I've told you repeatedly to stay off my posts. I don't enjoy conversing with hopelessly incorrigible people. Just give it time when they walk it back like they did for COVID-19 and the Hunter Biden laptop. We are still waiting for the effect of your sanctions on the Russian rouble. Here in the US, those who were calling Pedo Joe a unifier can confess how happy they are with their 401k and the gas prices they are now paying.

Some people on the basketball thread that were crying conspiracy are now realizing that my PM is their AM. Everybody is now pretending I did not tell them exactly what will happen. Just like I did the inflation reduction act. LOOOOL.

seankafor:
it's be more easier for the world to shift from its axis and earth burned to ashes in a nuclear warfare than for NATO to defeat Russia

If NATO could, Assad won't be heading Syria today. Obama and NATO had targeted 2011 to get him out. 2022, he is still there because Vladimir Putin told him, I got you. Like I said, USA = propaganda and hype.

Nancy Pelosi's husband attacked? Is that the narrative by the mainstream media? Nah. He is a finook who invited a male prostitute to the house and things went south. Don't worry, give it time, I'll be right again.

seankafor:
do USA abide by these rules outside their country?

And do you think Russia doesn't abide by these in their country?

And how do you dictate how security agency interrogates terrorist who poses threat to country's security or who has caused serious damage to security?

There shouldn't be any rules when interrogating with a terrorist or a potential terrorist

If the USA abides by the rules why is Julian Assange being imprisoned? Because he exposed the war crimes America had been committing. The USA is a propaganda-backed nation that was worsened by the Obama presidency. Had Hillary Clinton replaced him, whatever Biden is doing now she would have done from 2016-2020. RINOs like Lindsey Graham and the late John McCain are on record by November 2016 assuring Ukraine of this proxy war by 2017. They thought they would deceive Trump into it but he refused so they stalled and got Biden on-board. That should let any well-meaning person know what is truly going on in Ukraine.

patrickmuf:
Spot on...You don't expect the Russians to go all guns blazing against a people they hope to have on their side at the end of the SMO...

Yea that post was very accurate. I was just laughing when I was reading some other posts prior to that one. You can tell the people who still take whatever they see on mainstream media seriously.

Decimated. Destroyed. Discombobulated. Disenchanted. Diseased. Deceased.

Ebukacute:

Simple... There is no single crime Chelsea sacked tuchel for that Potter hasn't committed and even worse.

Tuchel was sacked for not complying with Boehly.

Sniper04:

Wetin havertz do,the Baba dey innocent

No, we are not saying Havertz is playing poorly. We are saying he is usually one of the players Chelsea fans on here blame for any bad games regardless of if he is directly responsible for it or not.

lordfalcao:
E sure me say when Ibime go see 3-0. He go rush to check if Jorginho started the game. But he will be disappointed.

Buahahahaha

raumdeuter:


Harvetz actually

In the hierarchy of blames Jorginho Harvetz Kepa in that order

I forgot Havertz my man.

andrewbaba44:


Chelsea want to kill sterling career ,una Dey carry am go wing back

Even as he has been wingback and also lost the ball a couple times. He gave the 2 passes that opened the BHA centers for a goal. 2 times. Gallagher missed and then foolishic. The 2nd time Mason overhit the ball to Havertz.

lordfalcao:
Na God save Jorginho today

Kepa will take the blame today.

andrewbaba44:


Same sterling pep made to he one of the best wingers in the world and they said pep was buying the league

Relax. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess. . .

Have they blamed Sterling today?

youngZee23:
Don't forget..With money everything is possible..And how sure are u that pep,city and co are saying the truth..klopp and xavi them ran away cos of the conditions involved..

Klopp and Xavi did not run. Every big team bid for Erling because the transfer fee and other addendums were meetable. It was now left to Erling to decide which team he would go to. That is what I have been saying. The 7 big teams I mentioned there all bid for him. Erling selected City because of the historicity with his family, the sporting project, the style of play, the potential to improve, the watchability of the league and competition, the teammates, the role to fill, the manager and the chance to win.

He said Bayern would have been his next best choice but 2 major things worked against Bayern. The unwatchability of the league and lack of competition as well as the fact that Bayern's best player was the position Erling would have to play in. Bayern promised him they'll get rid of Lewandowski (it leaked) which is why Lewandowski was adamant about leaving Bayern.

He said RM's issue was Benzema occupied that position and that RM clearly prioritized Mbappé. PSG on the other hand had to clear out Neymar to make room for Erling's salary. Mbappe had told PSG to play him in the position Neymar plays in and sign an out and out striker as he [Mbappe] did not like playing as the out and out striker. I could go on explaining things.

Erling simply rejected Liverpool and Barca so it is natural for their salty managers to give an excuse. Fabrizio Romano has repeatedly said every club offered Erling the same money. All the journalists that are usually 100% on City said same but you'd rather believe gossip columns like daily mail that can't get their story consistent?

If Erling came to City for money what historical context do we have to prove that City pays players outrageously? None. Real Madrid and PSG pay their big players more. Bale was earning 600K a week and Neymar, Messi and Mbappe earn crazily as well. Should Erling not sign with PSG instead? Why were they number 4 and then Bayern (a historically stingy club) is number 2. That should tell you that money was not the major driving force.

I can tell you for free that most big name players earn more from endorsements and outside hustle than their salaries. Don't let anybody mislead you. Someone who cannot dance will tell you the DJ was not good.

youngZee23,

City lied.
Erling lied.
Alfie lied.
Soriano lied.
Guardiola lied.
Dortmund lied.
Bayern lied.
Fabrizio Romano lied.
The Athletic lied.
All City tier one journalists lied.

But
Simon Phillips is telling the truth.
Jurgen Klopp is telling the truth.
Xavi Hernandez is telling the truth
Irrelevant Journalist that has been wrong on every thing about City is telling the truth.
Daily freaking mail is telling the truth.

Is it not convenient for someone who is wrong to claim that anyone who is reliable is wrong or lying so that he will not be wrong? Ask yourself.

Dirtyyansh:
.

He rejected your team
No amount of money would have made him choose you.
Win 1 UCL first

Wouldn't you wish that? Well, Napoli asked for 5m extra and City said no. That is the same City that would pay Haaland 500k more per week than their best player. Buahahahaha.

User09:


This is exactly what it is. I was gonna ignore the entire debate cos I was gonna come off as Anti-Chelsea.

How do u exaggerate stories and crap just to prove a nonsensical point. Dortmund audited accounts of multiple years throws the entire rubbish argument into water. By next year when City releases theirs. Watch out for the other leg of the spin.

Never seen someone so ignorant and yet so prideful

I was reading the exchange from the beginning but I wanted to ignore until I noticed other neutral observers started buying the lies as well.

Dirtyyansh:


Cut me some slack, FFP is a joke.
City ought to have been sanctioned if that federation were not toothless.

Barcelona got away with alot of nonsense this transfer window, why were they not punished?

Keep that FFP nonsense in your back pocket.
The teams who have money would bribe their way through & Infantino and his cohorts will overlook it.

City are the best run club in football. Sorry we don't do bribes. We refused overpaying for Jorginho, Cucurella, Kane etc. I could go on and on. The era of breaking the rules has ended. It won't be invalidated by your desire to believe your own wishes and conjectures.
