Cyriel Dessers is reconsidering his options after it is dawn on him that getting an eagles shirt as a striker is not going to be no work in the park.

Dude said he is open to playing for Belgium and will wait till September before making his final international decision, according to Het Belang van Limburg



To me, in this particular issue, if the news is true, who cares?

andrewbaba44:


Your tears will be so beautiful at the end of the game

Auba will score a brace

nairalandankrah:
Osimhen will meanwhile have fight for a place in the Napoli starting XI alongside the club’s all-time top scorer Dries Mertens.

elyte89:


Boss he's not fighting anything.. Not did coming season @ least...so u think Napoli will bench a 50m€s abi na 81m€s player?

TheSuperNerd:
You sabi the way... It is how it is. But In the end, it is my wish for all to fulfill their potentials or at least come close enough to doing so. And I would always recognise the efforts of any of our lads who are doing their best to bounce back. I hate recalling their faults or struggles. I focus on what they are doing now to get better and on if they are starting to show signs of progress.



Look, If Isaac Success shows the slightest chance of bouncing back today, I will be all over that and take it up without blinking an eyelid. Why is that? Well, it is partly b'cos he is a product of our youth system and he showed fine potentials when coming up. He was decent in La liga too. I don't give up easily on our talents and I keep watch over countless of them in a part of my spare time. It's well.

Napoli cannot bench mertens for anyone when you are not Messi or cr7

But you should know mertens is a winger and not a striker

So nothin consign osimhen and mertens

Many of una no even know Napoli team self

andrewbaba44:


Me I never give up for success o

I believe injury affect am sha

Now wey Watford Dey championship self e suppose play

TheGoodJoe:


Mertens has played as a centre forward for lots of games for Napoli. He can play the role perfectly well but I think Gatusso will utilise him on his natural wide role.

TheSuperNerd:
I really hope he gets back to playing again and just maybe he can still make something of his undoubted talents. It's well.

TheGoodJoe:
High point of the game was towards the end where Laporte and Rodri had chances on goal from long ranges in free kick manners. I hope it was a tactical idea to break the deep parked bus of Arsenal and I hope Guardiola works on it and makes it an art.

In parked bus situations, curling long shots from the edge of the box like free kicks is the way to go. It fits into the time-space theory too. With the box fully crowded, crossing into those areas is futile.

Pass the ball into the box and return it out to the edge of the box for curling shots.

I hope we continue seeing this tactical switch in our next game we face a team parking the bus deeply.

After our loss to Arsenal, I pointed the above and was glad to see De Bruyne score a goal similar to what I pointed out. I feel in the coming years, we are going to see a dramatic change in long range goals that will be similar to the accurate curling crosses of the past.

I believe it is the best way to beat the parked bus system.

Watch Manchester City’s second goal by De Bruyne against Norwich time stamp - 0:40.

Also watch Yaya Toure pull a wonder in the gif below. We were a goal down to Sunderland and they had decided to defend on a compact manner when Yaya Toure pulled the wonder with the curling shot.


Both are like crosses or free kick curlers. I hope to see more of these next season from Manchester City. An expected tactical switch in plays.

TheGoodJoe:


Congratulations to Arsenal and their fans over the World. That was a fantastic win.

Mertens plays more as a striker for 3 seasons now

daveP:
There was no flow to kill.


Initially i did tell you your back 3 are going to be error prone to Arsenal's attacking trio. No bias there, they proved that right.




Arsenal wanted to repeat that man city sit back thing but as una no get that kine Kdb or Silva player, Chelsea were bereft of attacking ideas after the couldn't see the kind of chance that led to the 1st goal.


A pity Thanos came for Captain America. He was a threat.


Pedro best dub but caged also.

No creativity in Chelsea's middle. Kova got sent off and as i saw Barkley, naso i


As for officiating, some calls were bias. But all cards were deserved. Arsenal are used to bad officiating that they aren't even used to such lil favors. Chelsea got a taste. They should understand henceforth how Arsenal feels on such occasions.


The 14 gave us the 14th.

A pity Giroud got no chance to preach the gospel like kaka


Choose Jesus
And Eternal life

Was under his jersey.

Im very surprised any Chelsea fan will think their defenders and gk would give stunning performances.


Next time sha.


Worst Chelsea FA final team face the worst Arsenal Fa final team of the decade and Chelsea lost.


Overall, Up Gunners.


Saka looked like he had some injury.

You dey "Cc" me partly b'cos you dey derail small o kwa ya?


But I enjoyed the read. As always you enlighten and drop nuggets of your wide tactical and indepth football knowledge which I never shy away from appreciating. You are indeed a treasure to the thread and my personal favorite analyst in here.

But this brings me to asking. Do you think we can bring this into the current Eagles set-up? When we are faced with a team on the continent that sits deep at all times when we trying to break them down, who do you think can serve in those curling shots situations from the edge of the box? That's when our wingers/wing forwards would have worked the ball to the side edges of the box and cut it back away from the crowded areas in the box hard to penetrate with a dribble or a pass.

Ndidi normally would go for power instead of curling his effort. He has to learn that. Also the likes of Aribo and Ejaria could serve in those situations. Or even a defender who can hit it. What do you think?

Note that I mention these guys and other positiona apart from the forwards b'cos it is assumed the forwards like Osimhen, Iheanacho and co would be in the box keeping the defence occupied and thinking we trying to feed the ball to them.


In all I am loving this tactical thinking especially when I think of the possibility of applying it to the Super Eagles and I say again... You, TheGoodJoe are Awesome.

Yara Yara say it after me....

andrewbaba44:


Out wide boss

If mertens Dey always play as striker milik go don rot for bench

Wait, you knew this thing yet you typed that gibberish under Elyte89's post? Heed his advice because like he rightly said, it is quite obvious you suffer from functional analphabet

TheLoneCitizen:


Gutted, very very good player. Former Belgium, Devil Luc Nilis assured him he's better than Batshuayi or Benteke. Belgium will invite him September.

ChrisKels:


No bro, I am not worried, if he turns out for Nigeria, he is gonna be a 4th or 5th choice striker at most. Dude doesn't offer more than Moffi, and he definitely isn't as good as Osimhen, Nacho, Nwankwo and Maja. If he was good enough, he wouldn't be headed for the Jupiler league in his prime. Quality wise, he is in the same category as Onuachu, Moffi, Sadiq and co.

Let's see who does better between him and Arokodare in the Jupiler league, should Aroko join Anderletch as predicted in the media.
