We have gone so far past corruption in Naija, we don't even know what Corruption is again.

Omo! This post touch me.

I don’t know but what’s you guys take on two attacking FB; Reece James and Chilwell

Won’t they leave the two CB just too expose because we know both of them don’t just sit at the back, they attack too

Chilwell can track back, Alonso cannot.

Zouma is far more athletic than Christensen and we won't be as exposed as we were versus West Brom

And if he's doing so, Jorginho will play because he is a DM that sits back, even though he cannot defend.

vicot:
interesting piece


While previous managers have often just had to think about maximising Hazard’s talents, Lampard will have several more to incorporate. While this may seem like an advantage, and it certainly can and should be one, it also poses Frank with a challenge not felt by Sarri or Conte. While Sarri could play a defensively solid midfield 3 of Jorghino, Kante and Kovacic as well as a defensive winger in Willian, and Conte could use a back 3 and physical double pivot, both systems offering Chelsea and Hazard a solid base from which to play, Lampard will not have these options if he is to field 4-5 of his match winners at once next season.

The guy analysis was brilliant from start to finish, I spent almost an hour reading it before retiring to bed yesterday. Tactical flexibility will be required of Lampard with the caliber of players at his disposal I will expect him to alternate between a 1-4-2-3-1 and 1-4-3-3(with its variants) formations this season to get

Look at Tomori too.

These players will just collect their customary 1 or 2 caps and be done with national football.

Zaha saw the light and chose Côte d’Ivoire (18 caps, 5 goals). He would never have played more than 3-5 times in an English shirt. Aaron Wan Bissaka sef don wise up. He’s choosing Congo over England.

Given a choice to play for either Nigeria or Canada, I'd pick Nigeria 20million times. Canada that is certain they will never qualify for WC.

Nigeria razz but there is a 0.6 probability that we will always qualify for every WC, and 0.99 probability we will qualify for at least one in every two WC competitions.


Playing for Canada is likened to sitting on the bench for England, I'll choose three lions over the Canucks if it's down to that.

Azpilicueta is still ahead of James.

I don’t think so

ennyjay72:
I think lampard won't try it again,he has corrected himself,that's what killed us against westbrom,Alonso and James were always nowhere to be found.

I expect Azpi to start more but chilwell can track back na,he is not like Alonso

Let’s see how we would play this weekend with everybody fit

I don’t think so

Its not even a debate. James game is still raw. Azpi is still more effective than him.

Lol well this is Mikel’s EPL stats

249 EPL appearances

Started 186 games and came in as Sub 66 times

With that stats you can’t say he was just a regular player or Bench warmer Bro

Mikel was a regular at the start of his Chelsea career. He chop bench well well afterwards.

Mikel spent 11 years at Chelsea (2006 - 2017).

If Chelsea played 38 EPL + 10 European competition+ 6 local cup games (FA+Carling) every season on the average (it's more than that though), that will amount to 54 games per season.

So, in Mikel's 11 years at Chelsea, he was eligible to play in 54*11 = 594 games. Let's say he got injured and missed 100 games, that would be around 500 games he should've played if he was a regular. He only managed 372 games in total.

Lampard spent 13 years (2001-2014) at Chelsea and played 648 games. That's almost double Mikel's apps in roughly the same period of time.

Mikel warm bench oga. Or have you forgotten this image?

timay:


It is because they are actually the best team presently.


Balanced attack and very organized defense. Their defence is the best I've seen from an European nation in a long time after the 2006 Italian team.

If another European team will win the next world cup, it's Portugal. The cam only be denied if a South American power house come to the party (Brazil majorly, Argentina is currently trash)

in other words Ronaldo may win d world cup, before messi if he ever does

When you eat eat and eat soon you will explode like Hazard

pamcode:
To get to that top is still possible. Kane is preferred choice for now but a fitter, faster striker whose conversation rate is on par could displace him. Tammy still needs polishing as a center forward especially as a target man. His heading is poor, he doesn't have that upper body strength, his finishing is around 7/10 which must be improved. With form and injuries on his side he might make 2nd or third choice CF.

all these name dem dey list if not for corro na Abraham for lead England attack for Euros. Southgate has called him up regularly and will likely still call him for euros next season

hensben:

Oga it’s not a matter of debate

Lampard is trying to ease some people off the team, Azpi would be back up

We have played 4 games this season and Azpi has only played 1, came in as sub once too

Azpi missed the first few games through injury just so u know..

Azpi was on the bench from the very first game this season sir

So, all these your explanations did not give same credence to what I typed?

Bros, you typed that Rashford had declined. Players who have declined do not regain their form ya know?

Lol.. Azpi that rushed himself back self. Don't tell me u expected him to be involved in the first few games

Canada have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup.

Lol Azpi rush himself back, One thing I know is Lampard don’t rush people back from injury

Don’t get me wrong tho, I am not saying James is better than Azpi but I feel Lamps want to bring in James to the team and Azpi would just serve as backup to both RB and LB

Well saturday is around the corner, let’s see who would start?

Thugs disrupts protest in Alausa... What next??

should have opted a country because they get to be one of the host nations for a competition holding 6yrs from now?

any how you put it, it was between Nigeria and England, never Canada.

Bro nobody is arguing all this

Everyone knows Tomori chose to play for England because they are better country to Naija

What the guy is saying is that, okay since you want a better country then Canada would have been a good choice for him because he would definitely be a starter for Canada and he can play CONCACAF too

When I respect this fight na when them change funding source from cash to crypto.

If you are good and sure of your talent, you play for the team that gives you the highest exposure and reward
How many of the people here with dual citizen kids will advise them to play for Nigeria if they are really good

Most will choose the team with higher potential

Same way players will choose Chelsea Man Utd even if they are not guaranteed to make the CL over teams like Ajax or Olympiakos who are almost guaranteed to make the CL

How is Canada a better country than Naija?

una don see us finish. Baba I can school, live, work in Canada but if it comes to playing football for either country, it is Nigeria without any iota doubt.

I'm just trying to understand why anyone would say he should have gone for Canada when Naija is there.
