Pep made everyone looked foolish to the extent of looking for ball playing GK with lesser ball stopping abilities grin

Donnaruma and yan sommer don show us the real job of GK for this ucl 2 semis wey we watch ,just like Peter Cech and co use to do then

Na still this same yeye ball playing is one of the reason Man U kicked out de gea for onana

At the end of the day ball playing shouldn’t be the main thing of a GK but shot stopping abilities .

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.
Onana took Inter to a UCL final in 2023.

You asked for goals against big teams and he did that,just as he has always been doing but as usual, a leopard doesn't change his spot.

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.

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? grin

Balance injure both of you there.

These are the comments that started the discussion last year January. You can all see the argument was about improving our defensive play just like how our attack improved when compared to the previous season and striking a balance. Popi is trying to gaslight newbies into thinking that was never part of the discussion.

Kimbeast:
We should be more concerned with our defense that has conceded only 7 less goals than Luton. 3 clean sheets in our last 16 premier league matches.
Kimbeast:
A renowned coach once said Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles for a reason. Our attack and chance creation is one of the best in the league while our defense is amongst the worst. We have only conceded 7 less goals than freaking Luton. That should tell you how pitiful our defense have been. We have watched this team on multiple occasions dominate opponents only for our defense to slip up and concede silly goals. Last season we scored 38goals in the whole campaign while we have 35goals already in 21matches which shows a massive improvement but our defense has gotten even worst. Last year we conceded 47goals, with the 31goals we have conceded already we are going to sur that if our defense doesn't improve. Only an amateur won't see our defense has been worst than our attack this season.

timbros:
We just need to strike a balance between this attack and defense thing.

If you score 5 goals in a match and concede 6, will you praise your attack for scoring 5 in a match or will you blame you defense for conceding 6?

Conversely,if you concede just 1 goal but scored zero, will you praise your defense for being tight enough to concede "just" 1 goal or will you blame your attack for not being able to score any?

While our attack need massive improvement to convert chances created, our defense also need to tighten up. Individual errors in defense have cost us a lot this season. So yes, defense is also our problem.

In 2004/05 when Mourinho broke the record of least goals conceded in the league, we scored 72 goals. Arsenal in second scored 87..... The amount of 1-0 matches we played that season was uncountable.

2020/21 when Tuchel won us UCL, we conceded just 4 goals all campaign. 4 goals in 13 matches!

Make una no dey underrate the importance of defense in football.

BlueRayDick:


Na u gangan talk the truth of the matter; both defence and attack are very important. A balance of both is why Man City keeps dominating the league

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

All football analysis website from Sofascore to fotmob and Whoscored gave Raya an higher rating than Donna. Raya prevented more goals, made more saves from inside the box. All relevant stats points to Raya making more difficult saves but whatever floats your boat its cool.

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.

Who said President Tinubu has improved electricity again?

Come outside let have a word or two.
Take it from me, no president is fixing our power sector in a term or two. Its issues are multifaceted and requires decades of strategic planning and investment.
The epileptic nature of our power supply is foremost but not all due to our dilapidated grid structure. In practical, currently, it can't more than 5000MW. That is no matter what we generate, we can't transmit above 5000MW.
The grid infrastructure is archaic, there's a reason why light goes off for majority of the times when there's an heavy downpour as against what is obtainable in other countries with advanced power systems.
Additionally, the sector is capital intensive, you can research off-the-shelf cost of a 100MW alternator, a 100MVA transformer.

Following up on that, there's no return of investment; our energy is subsidized because Nigerians can't pay for electricity, for a fact 50% of our electricity is lost to theft. That is why we now have misconceptions like Band A.. Band Z — all in attempt by the government to give power to those that can afford it.
In all of these, what can a president for 8 years do anything about?

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. grin

Unlike me—who just started ing CFC recently and can’t afford season tickets—at least these guys, like Nateevs, are actual ticket holders, so maybe their opinion on Sanchez and co counts.
