Wetin we wan do with Hojberg. We need a world class DM

I just read a rumour that it seems he's not going to be fit for the final.

adisaaowala:


There's no need to rush him back abeg.

If we cannot beat Villarreal with the defenders currently at our disposal, make we just close shop biko

Xavi is a central midfielder - he would know. Xavi isn’t the only one that had Scholes as the best English midfielder of all time. If I put quotes here, you would run away. It’s a tired topic.

Illimitable:

. Who is Kante?

Illimitable:

Modric won the CL and also took a very average Croatia team to the final of a World Cup. His achievement in 2018 was unparalleled apart from Varane.

Varane plays for France - who are expected to win big things anyway. So Modric got all the accolades deservedly.



That’s the point.

Illimitable:


Nobody was counting assists when Scholes was at his peak

Illimitable:

Yet when the greatest manager of all time was asked the number of world class players he managed, SAF mentioned Scholes and Ronaldo. He didn’t mention all those bums on your list.

Illimitable:


When Scholes was running the midfield for England and Man Utd, Gerrard and Lampard were in their parents backyard watching how they could one day be as great as Schole

And only a retärd that has been sectioned to 22 different mental institutions would advocate for Gerrard into the hall of fame without ever winning the competition.

Illimitable:



The aim of creating any competition is to determine a winner If Gerrard knew Liverpool weren’t good enough as a team to win the competition, why didn’t he leave? Part of being a good footballer is making a decision that supports your ambition - I doubt he had any.

Ronaldo could have stayed in Lisbon all his life. Messi could have returned to Argentina to keep in touch with his roots. Zidane could have remained in Cannes all his career or fat Ronaldo could have turned down the opportunity of coming to Europe when he was 18.

All these players made big decisions to leave the comfort zones of their homes and get into clubs that align with their ambitions. It’s not Buhari’s fault Gerrard stayed in a club that couldn’t win the PL. He should take responsibility for his decision.

If you make excuses for failure, it’s perhaps because you are a failure yourself.

Yeah let's just ignore the fact that Scholes played deeper than both Gerrard and Lampard and still had comparable stats..

Bruno is equaling fat lampard's prime stats. Y'all shekpites say lampard is better than Scholes because he scores more. Using your logic, lampard is no better than Bruno...

Scholes was a playmaker. Lampard and Gerrard have similar strengths in getting forward from midfield positions but aren’t as strong behind play.

These are two different roles. Thinking quality playmakers are rarer than quality midfielders who can get forward and score.

Saying fat lampard retired scholes is the funniest shit i have seen a shekpite say this year. Why didn't Lampard and Gerrard's pairing in the England midfield work as well as it could have? You should have asked yourself that..

The key issue with Lamps and Gerrard is that they are more or less the same player. Both like to drift into spaces off the front and both are players that have most to offer going forward. Lampard runs off the ball, Gerrard typically runs with it.


You can’t have two box-to-box midfielders instead you should place that kind of player with a defensive wall who does the dirty work i.e. tackling and intercepting, a high-pressing, energetic ball winner who presses down his opponents and closes down space or a creative playmaker who dictates the tempo of the game. The best players who could have played alongside Gerrard or Lampard in the England team was Scholes but for whatever reasons was completely overlooked by Eriksson, Capello and Hodgson.

Sadly, England over the years have had to rue such poor decision making by constantly disgracing themselves and underachieving in every tournament which they have played in … from Euro 2004 all the way to Euro 2016. Stop saying Fat lamps and Gerrard retired scholes... [/s]

airmark:

Ferdinand played with Scholes and he ditched Scholes for Lampard when he was asked to choose from the trio of Lampard, Scholes and Gerrard.

airmark:

I will be waiting for your excuse on why Ferdinand went for the former 2nd best player in the world or name a Chelsea legend that preferred Scholes.
Former EPL player of the season. Scholes never smelt such feat.

airmark:

Modric won World cup's best player award now how did his exploits in another tournament influence that award?. Lame excuse at its best.

airmark:

Beckham was top assists provider in Epl for 3 seasons, who did the counting? You want to wrap your man's lakuregbe assists stats away from our prying eyes abi?
Ludicrous. Ghosts must have counted Beckham's assists. Maybe Scholes career died before 1996 and you want them to call such player that served below par performances in his last 15yrs according to you, Hall of famer?

airmark:


The same Ferguson that rubbished Gerrard as a poor player only for Gerrard to expose him that he wanted to sign him multiple times and the old man became quiet since then.

airmark:

Meanwhile, Ferguson called Giggs world class and he is in my list. Oya fight that too.

airmark:

This is meaningless.

When Ortega was running things for Argentina and his club, Messi was in his parents backyard watching how he could one day be as great as Ortega.

airmark:

Only a retardd will not see anything wrong in Modric winning the World cup's best playeraward without winning the tournament but faults Gerrard's hall of fame induction.

airmark:

Gerrards individual feat in UCL, Scholes would always dream of having such but it will never come to pass.

airmark:

If we ask what individually did Scholes do now in his 20 seasons at Man utd you will tell us his stats were not recorded at his peak.

We have other players stats but for Scholes snake swallowed the paper where his assists and goals were recorded as if he played only in the 80s.

patrickmuf:
Airmark, you quote even post of Nairalanders in an argument yet you want us to ignore the quotes of football's greats...Is it fair?

airmark:


I quoted Man utd's great, Ferdinand who claimed Scholes was his favourite Man utd player but said it as it is. So nothing unfair here Bro. Patrick.

patrickmuf:
Actually, I just wanted you to see that it isn't factual relying on the quotes of others...

Schokes was a proper CM even though he excelled as a CAM early in his career...Comparing him to Lampard and Gerard is unfair as they both spent their peak years playing as CAMs...

Illimitable:


If you have any football IQ, you would know Ferdinand and Lampard were team mates at West Ham.

Illimitable:


Let me reiterate………..

Ferdinand and Lampard were best of friends as youth players. They did everything together from age 16 to 21. They shared rooms, traveled together, did everything together, did 3somes together.

Besides, what would Ferdinand know about a midfield player? Ferdinand knows more about players than Alex Ferguson that managed the most successful football club in England for 26 years?

Anybody can win a tournament’s best player. It’s a month old competition and even a dog knows there’s an element of luck in a competition like the World Cup where you don’t have to play everybody in the competition to win the trophy.

The league is a complete kettle of fish. All the teams involved in the competition get to play each other. It’s the truest form of competition and this is why they say the league table tells no lies.

For Gerrard to have missed winning it once in 18 years simply shows he’s a failure. Modric faced a total of 7 teams out of the 32 teams that participated at the World Cup. Only a complete möron would even attempt to compare a tournament like the World Cup to a league system.

I knew that that Bailly wouldn’t be up to scrap. Hes so unaware of his surroundings. He loses concentration often. Pair him with another average defense and the result is mayhem.

I expect him to be injured for most of next season. That’s why I didn’t want his contract renewed. He’s just looking to make a buck.

The only season he was fit, we paired him with useless defenders (Rojo, Jones and Smalling)... we finished the season with the best defensive record and Degea won his one and only golden glove.

elampiro:


Nothing has changed on the log. This is most important at the moment instead of risky our players to go all out for unnecessary battles with Europa league final in front of us.

We should rather be blaming the stupid fans who prevented the Liverpool original fixture from taking place. They put the team in a difficult situation.

Scholes is the most talented player that came out of Manchester in the last 50 years. His peers said so, his opponents have said so and he has 11 league titles to show for it.

Gerrard has 0 PL titles in 18 attempts. If you fail an exam 18 times, you shouldn’t get any honor from the board of that exam. The only thing Gerrard should be honored for is certificate of attendance.

Illimitable:


Ask him how many of Lampard’s assists were from open play?

Scholes never took corners or indirect freekicks to pad up stats. As soon as Ole put Shaw in set piece duties, his chance creation and assist stats almost quadrupled.

The other factor is Scholes played deeper in a 4-4-2 formation as a CM for most of his career. Another factor is Lampard played more than 11,000 PL minutes more than Scholes.

11,000 PL minutes is 122 PL games more.
