Who told you flair and imagination is sleekness? You can run from pillar to post. I have simplified it for you. Delph is moving from a Rakitic style of play to a Busquets style of play. This change has improved him. It is like Onazi trying to play like Mikel.

The concept is too simple. Either you learn or keep googling articles. That article proved nothing. You can see the hammer on energetic runs. That is what Guardiola is cancelling.

If you like, keep arguing.

Onyekuru subbed 89th minute... time to switch to another match

TheGoodJoe:


If we are debating on something and you watched it, it is okay googling articles to support the claim. However, I find it disturbing when you are googling to argue something you do not understand.

goldfish80:


Too much of Man city blogging have rubbed off on you in the wrong way. You no longer watch football from what it is but you watch football from Man city perspective.
Apparently, you're saying a player can be sleeky without having flair and imagination?! ... I am not shocked. I've seen you post more shocking things to defend Guardiola. That's the classic TheGoodJoe speaking.

I had to google an interview of his former coach just so you understand Delph didn't suddenly develop flair and skills from the teachings of Guardiola.
You sint disappoint me by coming up with more laughable stuff to support your Guardiola veneration.

joseph1013:
But he understands what sleekness is na, may be more than you. You say Messi and Maradona are not sleek, but see this review by EA sports:

"Game developer EA Sports has announced a new feature to its upcoming football simulation video game “FIFA 16” that had gamers really excited. Apparently, the game will already give players the ability to make the signature sleek move of Argentinian football superstar Lionel Messi."

Flair and sleek are synonymous.

A sleek move is like When Milner charged to Messi in one of the Barcelona vs Manchester City game and Messi, stopped waited as Milner charged to him, he said the ball in between Milner's legs. That is a sleek move but that is not regularly how Messi or Maradona play. The play more with pace. Messi plays the ball in a more mobile style.


When you take Mikel for instance, he has come under lots of criticism for playing in a sluggish way. In Nigerian slang, playing with too much yanga. That Messi move was a yanga move but not Messi’s style. Just like Maradona, they play in a more pacy style and take on their players with pace.

Just as Mikel can make runs with the ball, he is not a pacy player. He is sleek. Just as Messi can make a sleek move, he is not a sleek player.

List of sleek players

Mikel, Busquets, Alonso, Scholes, Pirlo, Ibrahimovic, Berbatov and Nzonzi. We can not put Maradona and Messi in that bracket.

joseph1013:
You don't know what sleek or flair really means. Let me ask you: Where did you get your definition of sleek?

TheGoodJoe:



I just told you what a sleek move is. If you disagree, tell me what you think a sleek move is.

joseph1013:
Dont tell me you just cooked up the definition. What is your source of this prettywoman sleekness of footballers?

TheGoodJoe:


Why do you think I tackle goldfish80 on just relying on articles and stats? I do my best to watch and understand what is going on. I did not cook it but tried to make it clear. If you go through it, you can see the difference.

joseph1013:
Oh, so you just cooked it up. If a word sounds interesting to you, you just start using it without caring what it means? Bros, terms in football, like any other profession have definitions. You cannot say you cook up what a dribble is. Or passing. Or goal. All of them have definitions. Else, the whole sport just becomes a disorganized affair.

TheGoodJoe:



So after watching football for years, you still need to copy everything without having an idea to explain it yourself. Na wa.

Give me an example of a sleek move.

joseph1013:
Wrong move! No matter how many years of watching football, you cannot define a goal outside its accepted definition. Even Infantino cannot unilaterally tell us he has his own meaning of dribbling outside of what the football community knows. Millions of 'Na wa' will not change anything.

Until you can tell me your reference for what a sleek move is or who a sleek player is, you can't ask me to tell you one. We have to be on the same level to start a discussion about it.

BascoVanVeli:

I don circle dat one tey tey. It is on the 21st of next month.

TheGoodJoe:


Haba. Blood Of Malachi.

So if you are watching match, are you saying the commentator has no right to say, "That is a sleek move"?

Just say you do not know and move on. I have done my best to make it easy for you. Next time you are watching, you can tell a sleek move without waiting to Google it.

joseph1013:
LOL. And how many times have we heard commentators say Messi made a sleek move or is a sleeky player?

Just say you don't watch enough matches and are not in tune with why and how terms are used in football, and move on. It's not as complex as you are making it seem.

TheSuperNerd:
In LA liga, Uche Agbo's Granada are losing 1-3 to Valencia right now with about 2 or 3mins to go...


Uche Henry Agbo started the game.... and picked up a yellow in the 39th min. He eventually subbed off in the 63rd replaced by Sergi Samper (isn't this lad of Barca?).

maidaboi:
and you think kelechi is not a hard working player then you need to rethink, all the players you metion where geting the drills plus adequate game time. Did he keep messi,stalin,sane,stones and all those you metion on the bench for 1 month on the name of drilling?

TheGoodJoe:


I Made it simple my man. Not complex. Mikel = Sleek player.

Another way to look at it is smooth. If you look at Maradona and Messi play, you can not call their play smooth. Definitely, you can tag that to Mikel and Busquets.

You like going around in circles.

You say player A is sleek and player B is not. I ask how you know a player is sleek and another is not, you say you don't care about generally accepted definition of football terms and that your knowledge is through years of watching football and that you have no outright definition source you can give me deriding Google in the process. When boxed to a corner about register in football, you say other commentators refer to sleek players and that shows you're correct. I say fine, and told you that those commentators regularly say player B is a sleek player. You say they are wrong and that if I watch player B, I cannot say he is a sleek player.

Bros, have you eaten this afternoon?

If the boy agrees to play for Nigeria then Elderson will have to buckle up but I think Elderson still has an edge over Torunarigha because he has experience.
