nateevs:


Two things could be true at the same time. You generally have more time than most people to repeat your stance. It doesn't really mean that people kept quiet. It probably means they don't have as much time as you do.

This is a lie and you know it.

You had enough time to mock and ask how many goals Guirassy and co scored in August/September 2024 and called Jackson, 'my boy', but you didn't have time to post subsequently when you were tagged when your Jackson was missing empty net and making us drop points.

nateevs:


Second point. I can tell you confidently, nobody in here kicked against replacing Jackson. Not one single soul.

You and Timbros were against replacing Jackson as solution. You were all about cast only and you were here dancing when Jackson was scoring some tap in, to justify your stand. You don't need to be economical with the truth at this point that your eyes are clear regarding your adopted Jackson.

nateevs:


Alhaji, what were you right about? You know how many times you follow me argue say cast is not the ish?

All goals scored today were scored by the cast. When I told you repeatedly that all we had was first a tactical issue, and a cast issue, you were foaming all over the place, looking for 30+ goal striker.

Now we scored the most goals in the PL as at today without having a 30+ goal striker, and you still want to claim correctness?

Airmark get some shame na.

If i post all you typed to defend your wasteful Jackson, i may be banned. So, rest and embrace your wasteful Jackson.

nateevs:

When I was here backing my boy to score 20 goals, you were busy pointing us to Diego Costa as the standard. Guess what? Diego never scored more than 20 goals for us.

nateevs:


This is not true. It's not as clear-cut as pro-defence v pro-attack.

I for one was always pro-balance, across all departments. Ibime for instance has always been pro-midfield, which is the fulcrum for the balance we all crave.

I, like you, saw the whole debate, and I can tell you that from what I learnt from Timbros, Kimbeast et al.....there's not a single person that was not pro-attack. You just had people who feel stronger about other departments.

Anybody that kicked against replacing Jackson, wasn't pro-attack. You and Timbros were against it as you mocked and termed it looking for shiny striker.

What good has your 'unshiny' Jackson done for us now?

timbros:


You are lying to yourself in that bolded. Kimbeast literally posted my stance from the very beginning of this debate.... Was there any attack that messed up before I made that "balance" post?

Again, think for yourself. You have a brain. Make use of it.

You wanted a new CB, despite having Tosin ing and wanted Jackson to continue to play loads and loads of games this season as his wastefulness didn't bother you. You were also against g a LWF when Sancho was rumoured to be ing.

That's your own composition of finding a balance, which was foolish and I was against.

timbros:


Have you seen loads and loads and loads of Jackson or not?

That comment was made June 2024. Almost a year ago. Can you count how much of Jackson you have watched since then?

Continue living in fantasy while reality stares you in the face.

I told you you will see more of Jackson this season and you did. I don't know your problem with that post

I have no problem with that but with you trying to shy away from your sh1t - Jackson is ok and should continue to play.

We saw how you and Nateevs later became quiet while your misfiring Jackson was the main object of ridicule in the team as he almost terminated our Ucl hopes with his barrenness inside the box.

raumdeuter:


If it happens you will see many Obidients rationalize it

Well, not sure Blueraydick will be a party to that.

@Thazard, even Ibime educated him but Timbros wasn't ready to learn. Don't waste your time on the Balanciaga man.

Ibime:




In this day and age of VAR giving out penalties wotowoto, unlimited injury time to for time wasting etc, conditions favour attack than defence. Days of 1-0 matches are over. Chances are if you base your team on defence like Chelsea of 2005, you will drop more points on average. Playing in your own box now is an invitation to VAR to award penalties against you and invitation to opposition attackers to look for initiate and go down

Yes we can improve on defence, but I bet if our attackers had been finishing their chances early, allowing us to control the game and simultaneously demotivating our opponents, our goals conceded record would be better. Instead what is happening is we fail to score, opponents ginger, score against us some time in 2nd half, then we overextend ourself while chasing equaliser and concede a 2nd goal. All those could have been avoided if our attackers put us in control in the first half by finishing their chances.

The emboldened happened again this season while our striker failed to score in 12 consecutive matches. But how do you convince Timbros who doesn't watch our matches?.

timbros:


You do know that there is something called major problem and minor problem and that a balanced team fixes both part of the problems?

Read my comment again that Kimbeast posted. That has been my stand from day one. Infact click the link he posted to see the genesis of this debate.

Airmark knows exactly what a balanced team looks like but he never want to it our defence has the major issue. He wants people like you to believe that anyone who argues against him is completely on the opposite side. Since he is pro attack 100 percent, anyone who has a different opinion is 100 percent pro defence. Does that make sense?

Statistics proved that our attack from last season massively improved from 2 seasons ago. But the defence from 2 seasons ago became more worst last season... So where does the major problem lie? An improved attack or a defence getting worst?

If I ask you for proof is speaking from both side of my mouth now, you will start running from pillar to post.

Think for yourself. Use your own brain. Stop allowing people do your thinking for you.

Balderdash as usual.

To you, Jackson wasn't our problem. Just tell us the reason you hate me and Chelsea this much.

timbros:


All of airmark agenda ends here, Nairaland.

Come next season, he will still watch loads and loads and loads of Nicholas Jackson.

No two ways about it.

OasisX:




.......he is likely to team up with Atiku. Otti will quit Labour for a Progressive Party, mark it down.

Team up with Atiku as what? Don't let Donjazet see this.

OasisX:



“………I want to inform Mr President that in 2011, Anambra ed the center. In 2027, the decision remains the same. It is time for all progressives to come together, both APC and APGA, we urge you Mr President to lead us in this. We are fully behind you….”

- Charles Soludo

Obi should just keep his money and not ask anyone to donate funds for his campaign as it's already a lost cause.

raumdeuter:


Boateng won a CL and a world cup

Na that serial winner you wan compare to Obi who lost the last presidential elections, lost as Atiku VP, in 2015 backed Jonathan and lost

You know say court even declare Obi winner in 2006

We know the top performers that won the trophies. Boathand wasn't picked in team of the tournament for both tournaments. Just as Anambra people didn't rate Obi as Governor back then, Fifa and Uefa didn't rate your calamitous Boathand.

Sportsweb:
Wow..so he won't get a medal then if Chelsea wins the competition

Maresca confirmed it already.

Sportsweb:
He is. You think Maresca will deny him possible opportunity to get trophy medal?

He won't play, not ed.

nateevs:


Not sure Lavia is ed to play in the competition.

Not ed.

raumdeuter:
Soludo: The last state visit by a president was to commission a brewery and private enterprise.

Soludo ma soko mo, Softly dey throw stones

Just as you fraudulently hyped Boathand those years, Obidients did the same thing for Obi in order to get to Aso rock.

zeez7:

Unlike you a stats and livescore merchant, I watched the game. The only difficult save you can credit to raya was the very awful penda vitinha took. Donna on the other hand, made 3 world class saves
One saka top corner
Odegaards powerful shot from the edge of the box
Then martinelli's close tap in from the goalies area. Stop misleading people here please

You are arguing with somebody who still clamored for washed Sterling to be starting for Chelsea.

All the curses by Arsenal fans on Sterling, are supposed to be directed at Kimbeast.

BlueRayDick:


Leave Popi let him be whining himself.

You see I didn't even bother responding to his mention. Anybody that followed the discussion right from start knows himself and air mark are the ones trying to shift mouth and projecting on others.

Did i shift mouth by quoting Timbros insisting that we didn't need to replace Jackson, before the team improves?

Na you gangan dey whine yourself with ignorance. Abi you want more posts asking Jackson not to be replaced when we had the argument?

timbros:


All of airmark agenda ends here, Nairaland.

Come next season, he will still watch loads and loads and loads of Nicholas Jackson.

No two ways about it.

raumdeuter:


Bayern midfielders bitchslapped him last season and ed the baton to PSG midfielders to molest him again this year

Kimmich and Goretzka molesting Rice and Arsenal

Why were your midfielders not in the semis this season?

popizaino:
It's so funny reading comments from timbros and BlueRayDick trying to gaslight readers on their initial premises on the defence and attack debates.

There is nothing balance about the inter-Milan teams at least not according to your initial premises or have you forgotten how it all started?

It all started when my team Chelsea started throwing away two goals lead and inspite of that i and airmark tries to fault our attack for not converting their clear cut chances.

What did we get in response to this was how we shouldn't blame our attack but blame our porous defence who allowed two goals to slip through their nets,also sighting examples of how a defensively great teams like inter Milan and your team with impenetrable defence of Saliba and Gabriel would defend a single goal lead talkmore of two.

Now those theories of yours has been rubbished by both your team and inter-Milan has they have thrown a two goals lead and you are coming to talk about balance.

Where was this balance when you were telling us a good defence like inter-milan and Arsenal need just a single goal from their attack to see a match through?

Balance injure both of you there.

Also they are no more talking about clean sheets that Inter could only get 1 in their last 12 matches.

raumdeuter:

Did he kill himself when he won at West Ham? 100M 2 trophyless seasons
My midfielders molested Decline Rice last season then ed the baton to PSG midget midfielders

He wouldn't be the one to always score for a team without a quality striker.

Why didn't any Burndisleaguedown team and their giant midfielders, enter the semis?

popizaino:


This is why i regarded Victor Valdes as a good goalkeeper and not parrot the popular opinion that he wasn't one.

He was equally good at stopping shots,his error mostly came from trying to from back.

Valdes was an average keeper that Messi and other great players carried to win laurels.

He got exposed when he came to Man UTD and was deservedly demoted to U21 team. He later got Middlesbrough relegated to the Championship.

Onana too, would have looked good in that Barca team of those years.

fredoooooo:
It comes to a person without teeth , Akara turn to bone... specialist in failure

Champions of Europe, they can never say that.

raumdeuter:


Where is Decline Rice?

He can't kill himself for a team without quality striker.

Were your midfielders in the Semifinal?

Chelsea legends need to be more vocal before another Fraudiola's apprentice in Maresca, turned us to another Arsenal with no major trophy in years.

Drogba, Terry, Lampard should Mikel in asking for a top quality striker next season.

BlueRayDick:


😂😂😂

Only muntulas will get gaslighted by this ur bias attempt at analyzing data. Na people wey never 100 level go look at this ur post and say “ air mark is indeed a great data analyst “

Inter played 8 games in the group stages and managed to score 11 goals while conceding 1.

Barca played same 8 games , scored 28 goals and conceded 13.

Anybody with good head on their shoulder can tell that Barca is the ultra attacking team between the two teams.

Dey there Dey cherry pick data thinking na kindergarten pikin u Dey carry the data come meet .

The person that used each team's playing different opponents with different strengths to conclude, doesn't have good head on his shoulder.

airmark:


What if they didn't miss a fit Lewandowski or they had a Gyokeres yesterday? Inter Milan used 3 natural strikers in that game and we saw how they helped in their goals.

Barcelona must have learnt their lesson and get a quality striker to help aging Lewandowski and relieve the burden off Raphinha and Yamal. Your team will be the next to learn the hard way for not getting a quality striker.

Blueraydick, my guy, I hope you have learnt the hard way as predicted..

Sit down and be humble.

Where's that mumu Sodiki? Sit down, be humble.

timbros:


I don't have time for your ridiculous takes. But let me give you just 2 minutes of attention and answer that you question above..

See my suggestion made on 18th January 2024....



Again that same day...



This was your shameless response mocking my take..



Now run along... Your 2 minutes have expired.

Despite your lies, internet never forgets that you wanted us to continue with your wasteful Jackson.

timbros:


. Na Saka, Trossard, Havertz dem score the bulk of Arsenal's goals. Same way Chelsea can be fine with Jackson and a good cast... Your response? This👇

BlueRayDick:


How many goals did Inter score in this year’s UCL till date ? How many did Barca score in the same competition ?

You think I’m one of those people u will be using ur half-assed logic for ?

Not half-assed and you know it.

So the quality of opponents can't influence number of goals scored, right? At least you should have checked their mutual opponents if you really understand how to analyse data to arrive at an informed conclusion.

Barca scored 1 against Monaco, Inter scored 3.

Barca scored 4 against Bayern, Inter scored 2.

Barca scored 5 against Crvena, Inter scored 4.

and

Barca scored 6 against Inter, Inter scored 7 against Barca.


Just rest.

BlueRayDick:


He knows what he’s doing na .

Barca Dey tear everybody basket of goals lost to a more balanced team , he still wan Dey shalaye on top attack . The good thing is Inter is not known for their attacking prowess

Timbros ignorant tooth must have cut through your flesh.

An Inter Milan with the highest number of goals scored in Serie A, are not known for their attacking prowess. But the same Inter with the highest number of goals conceded among the top 5 in the league, are great defensively.

Timbros, you do this one?

timbros:


The word "balance" is alien to Airmark.

He mocked me when I told him Chelsea need a balanced team to succeed.

What was your suggestion for a balanced team that i mocked?

Your suggestion to stick to your wasteful Jackson misleading the line, and we saw how it has ended. We saw how you and Nateevs became quiet when your Jackson has become that major item of ridicule in our team. Even Blueraydick didn't want to talk about him. That's your definition of balance

andrewbaba44:


Even bastoni wasn’t that exceptional in both legs ,unless na another game people watch

At least let it be not that we wrote the defenders off entirely.

Inzaghi so much believes in outscoring that he turned defenders to attackers to outscore.

WhoDeyHause:

Inter outscored barka 4-3 after being outscored by them from 2-0 down.
Egbon the game is the game.

Fact only.
