Fifa suspending Russia is just so stupid of them ,I wonder if Russia footballers are at fault or supporting what’s happening

Same fifa that couldn’t suspend USA ,ISREAL

This is unfair to the players and coaching staff

Fifa uefa are so stupid and useless

After they will open their dirty mouths and say they don’t mix sport with politics

Please tell us when and where and in what competition , Glasgow Ranger's beat Arsenal ❓❓

Danielnino00:

4 goals were ruled offside by VAR, two of which were very questionable.. Both teams had 10 shots on target and created dozens of chances!

Liverpool and city hardly play with a recognized number 9 this season and yet, they have scored more goals than many teams in Europe this season. Liverpool in particular have scored 100 with Salah, Mane, Jota and Firmino, none of which are strikers...

Believe it or not, a time will come when 18 yard box tap in strikers will be completely irrelevant to the modern game...

fabyom:
Firmino, Jota and Lukaku are not striker? 10 shots on target and dozens of chances created yet no goal, you are simply supporting my claim. Name one 18 yard tap in strikers. Firmino, Osi, Tammy, Auba, Lukaku, Kane, Firmino, Daka, Ihenacho, King, Dennis, Morata, Vlahovic, Benzema, Laca, Dzeko, Martinez?

Sorry the question should be plural not singular.

Football is never certain,but the teams with clear potential for me are Fulham and Bournemouth.

Celtic and Rangers will struggle in the championship probably fall from mid table and below.

Meanwhile y did Cameroon sack deir Portuguese coach for rigobert song ? When qualifier is just a month away

Danielnino00:


Firmino isn't a striker! He is a false 9.. He is classed as a forward.. Jota isn't a striker either. He is primarily a winger that can play anywhere across the front 3.
Lukaku that's a striker has been struggling badly in this Chelsea team..

Why are you repeating the fallacious statement of no goal scored? You clearly didn't watch the match...

All those players you mentioned proved my point,innit?
We are doing past the era of 18 yard box tap in strikers..

fabyom:
Firmino is a striker who doesn’t score regularly. False 9 is playing a midfielder or winger in attack.
Why did Tuchel bring on Lukaku then?
Tuchel had no other striker that was the reason he played Havertz as a 9 and he even said Havertz moves like a 9. We know him and Lukaku are not on good terms.
Jota and Firmino play as a 9 for Liverpool.
If a 9 is not needed why not play Salah or Mane in attack.
You are the one inventing your own formation

Do you know the amount Mancity tabled to buy Kane?
United is after Oshimen and Chelsea after Haaland.
No top team is playing without a striker.
As long as there is a need to put the ball in the net, strikers will never be out of job whether they are tapped in merchant or not.
Name one striker that is not hotly demanded.
Barcelona buying Auba should tell you that no quality striker will ever be out of job!

JohnBullMySon:
I don't asslick America dude.

Where were you when Taliban Afghanistan was training Al-Quieda terrorists in camps to launch attacks in the US?

Where were you when Iraq invaded Kuwait, a major US ally because of inability to repay $15billion dollar debt and jealousy over surge in oil production.

Russia has been sullen at not being able to win Ukraine over from the west, and now they think invading an innocent country is the best decision?

No need schooling me about international politics. I know who I support. Russia must pay

Oga sir firmino is not and never a striker ,jota is never a striker also

Lukaku is a striker and hasn’t been doing well recently ,he didn’t even start that game and I think harvetz was the false 9 there

Tuchel and lukaku are in very good terms ,even after that statement he made tuchel kept on playing him tell recently

Chelsea is not after Haaland ,that was only last season

No top team playing without a striker ,maybe you will tell me if man city and Liverpool are small teams

Tell me one free democratically governed country that the USA invaded by itself please.

TFLASHOGEE:
fabyom submission is actually simple, you can be tagged as a striker even without you being an out and out striker or your regular number 9

If Firmino is not a striker what is he? Jota has majorly played in the Striking position for Liverpool also

COOL10:
One thing people need to understand is that there are different kinds of Strikers/Centre Forwards. It all depends on the quality of the player and the instructions of the coach.

The False 9 phenomenon is more of a ROLE than it is about wingers being deployed as strikers or attacking midfielders being asked to play the striking position.

The role of the false 9 is to drag defenders out by dropping deep and spreading passes mostly to the wings. This gives room for the wingers and attacking midfielders to thrive and also helps to create space for the Centre Forward when play is pushed upwards.

Judging by this definition, we can as well say that Harry Kane has been playing the role of a false 9 recently ( at least for the past two seasons).

It is more of a role than anything else.

This call stuff, does Riley do it to other club managers or its cos its Lampard?
