Sanchez could not score 10 UCL goals in a season for Barca.

Sanchez could not 106 goals for Barca

Sanchez could not finish in Ballon d'or top 3 while in Barca

Sachez could not score 42 goals in a season for Barca

Sanchez could not score in the semi final and final in the UCL to ensure Barca's victory.

Sanchez was never in the World XI while in Barca

I could go on and on

All these Sanchez could not do even when he had Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta


Now with this, we can say Neynar was better than Sanchez at Barca. If Neymar was better than Sanchez at Barca and Sanchez moved to the EPL and proved himself scoring 24 leagues goals (something he couldn't do at Barca), why can't Neymar?

Logic is the key here.

TLona1:


Silva, Fabregas, Eriksen, Sterling, Salah and co are not that physical yet they've been playing well.

I was in OAU in 1999 when a group of like 20-30 cultists brought an entire University of 20,000 on its knees and all of us were running helter skelter. If there were just 10 guns in each hostel that night no one will walk around open chest dey harrass us

Like everything, there are potential for abuse.

I knew 2 of those 99 guys from childhood and one of them actually tried to "connect" me in 98 in Unilag. Having 10 guns in each hostel just means that each time guys fight over babes, which mojo to watch in Awo Hall, or who got to bathroom first there is a potential for guns to be used instead of fists.

You and Trump don't get the point.
The average angry Australian, Canadian, Briton e.t.c gets even by keying you car, punching you or chasing you with a knife, the average angry American has the choice of slaughtering your whole neighbourhood with military grade guns.

After a deadly summer of gun violence, many Canadians are wondering if their country is not as immune to the gun crime plaguing the US as they thought.

Toronto's summer has been hot and deadly.
There have been 109 shootings in the city since May, including last Sunday's deadly attack on Danforth Avenue, when a gunman opened fire on strangers, killing two and injuring 13 others.

Gun crime offences in London surged by 42% in the last year, according to official statistics.

What is happening in Nigeria? How come robbers and cultists are able to come to an area or school and hold everyone to ransom

Guns are not legal in Nigeria yet criminals get guns. America has Mexico to the south run by the cartel if you ban guns, they will still enter through porous borders and All you will achieve is give the bad guys a free pass and make everyone else a lame duck where 10 guys will pick guns and hold 20,000 people to ransom like OAU on that night in 1999

What I think should change is banning all military grade weapons and enforce background checks on everyone

Its not a Trump thing I doubt Trump personally owns a gun as he is a City guy. a New York guy, he doesnt live in the countryside and villages, many Democrats own guns and support gun ownership as well. Joe Biden is one

Below is a link on Canada

World best awards looking more laughable each passing day

But that is what happens in most other developed countries. Guns are still legal but strictly controlled. Trump and the Republicans you have been championing in this case don't even want to talk about gun control.
Imagine Trump saying death penalty and placing guards in places of worship is the way to go.

Those links don't mean much because even with those developements their rates of gun violence and deaths are significantly less than those of the U.S.
For example Canada has about 2 gun deaths per 100,00 people, UK has less than 1 gun death per 100,000 people, U.S. in contrast has over 11 gun deaths per 100,000 people.

Even the lawless Mexico which you say is a source of the guns has a lower rate ( less than 8 gun deaths per 100,000 people).

Those years were horrible.
Cultism reigned supreme. You belonged problem, you no belong problem.we were in Cafe one early Monday morning when a cultist shot a student and ran away, the dead guy's friends opened fire on him too and gunned him down. Omo, come and see where guys are running for their lives leaving their babes behind.

The fear of stray bullets then was the beginning of wisdom. You dare not go for night class. You dare not go for night parties. You dare not go upgate to watch Champions League matches even though your team was the one playing. . One night Like that, we were watching a Champions League match at upgare and two cultists started quarrelling, like play like play, gun Don show, the other guy went down, blood splashed. Students jumped, TVs spoilt, a Hausa man selling Suya outside went down due to a stray bullet.


Omo, forget o. Abi is it when Uturu guys came into school via the mountain around 2008 and were shooting directly at students!

I really wished we had our own guns then. Bible one hand, better Pistol for the other hand. One to preach the goodnews and the other to send the gentiles to hell
Can I hear an amen elrony!

Greatihex:
amen.

I didn't know it was this bad until i went to visit him yesterday. I wept like a baby for my friend.

I know this post was from last year when you responded to my post on City against Man Utd but I you brought it up recently and think it reinforces some believes I have held recently

I think in the last 15yrs football changed. Football is faster more technical the big giant players have been sacrificed for smaller, shorter, very mobile lighter players. Nowadays players cover 13-15km easily in a game, I bet in the 80s hardly will players cover 9km. Now it favours guys that can run fast and run longer. So bigger guys will suffer

Also it eliminated specialists for generalists. Think of it, when did the requirement for a goalkeeper start including playing with his feet. Older keepers are just evaluated based on the saves they can make and reflexes now their ball playing skills is almost as important as shot stopping

Now Central defenders. Gone were the days when the job of a defender is to stop attack and boot the ball away, Now every defender has to be able to play from the back even if their defensive abilities suffer. Also rules of the games have changed, the tackles you shake hands over in the 80s will land you in jail now, Center backs were allowed to be slow and mean. Now they have to be as fast as everyone. Tactics changed too. Now its more dependent on space than before, thats why almost every top team will play a high line and have a 40yards free space between last defender and keeper. So pace is key.

For a DM before it was ability to tackle, now its your ability to cover space and pass(Busquets). The AM of old were hardly required to do any defensive work, they were the king just pass the ball to them and they will create chances with their brilliance and elegance, Nowadays they are expected to run and press. Wingers are not only expected to cross they are expected to be a major source of goals. The olden days winger got dropped to full backs(Jesus Navas, Young, Valencia)

Now to attack, This is where the 9 suffered because they couldn't cope with the pace, they got eliminated almost completely and the Support striker who had more ball holding skills, who can drop deep were made to bulk up and play as lone strikers, Most strikers for top clubs at the beginning of their careers were support strikers. Morata Lewandoski, Benzema Suarez, Aguero, Henry, RvP. Its not uncommon to evaluate strikers on how much they can hold up play, pass, play with their back to goal instead of the old fashioned fox in the box who just stick it in the net

Tactics also changed. 4-4-2 which was the preferred tactics then favored target men. Now a 442 will most certainly lose to a 443, 5231 or 451 because the 2 men in front wont even get the ball since the midfield will be outnumbered

Also football went more scientific not just based on natural abilities, modern techniques were introduced into training, diets and match analysis where every coach is using technology to gain some advantage. Before its common to see footballers drink and smoke. Mario Basler was a chain smoker, Old highlights of matches I have seen some players smoke on the sidelines. Nowadays you cannot, you are placed on a strict diet and training regimen.

Football changed and the target men were the major casualty

baba don't bobo me, Delofeu is a Barca-reject that failed at Everton and is struggling at Watford. So don't bring occasional clips as proofs that he's a revered Premier League winger

nobody is comparing. The thing is nothing van dijk does special rudiger isn't doing

No Hazard in today Team.

airmark:


How many Van dijk's matches have you watched this season? That's how you were telling us about Morata, being the best thing to happen to us despite telling you I watched almost all his matches for Madrid.

You won't watch a player well, but rush to jump into stupid conclusion.

Leyqute:
He's resting Hazard for the Yuropa ligg.

But to be honest, I like the experiment. He's trying to make the team less dependent on Hazard

Afolabi6046:
Hazard has back injury
