talking rubbish.... are these not the same boys who won the nations cup for us??... the whole team is out of shape stop crucifying the poor guys.

Princecalm:
What was he when he was playing that he will call others amateur,instead of encouraging them to improve

dabossman:


Er, Taribo did not play at USA 94. His first World Cup was 98, and we conceded 9 goals in 4 matches. No doubt Taribo's class was way above what we have today. The guy was a regular at both Inter and AC Milan. Omeruo and Oboabona have become complacent in recent times. They really need to sit up and get their act together. They can be much better than they are today.

Oh, and the Argies didn't defeat us with a last minute penalty. They had two well executed free kicks with with Claudio Cannigia scored. Our inexperience killed us.

blemon44:
Yes they are amateur but they won the nation's cup with their amateurish football. How many times did he win the afcon with his well experienced football?

xtervaganza:
hahahahaha pls don't embarrass yourself



Taribo was one of the world's best centre half and he payed in the Italian series A rivaling Maldini, costcutra, montero, Cannavaro and the rest

adconline:

U have no idea who Taribo was in his playing days.. Google is ur best resource!

Princecalm:
rival Maldini,u just got me craking perhaps you don't know who Maldini wa. what did Taribo achieved at age 20 that Omeruo have not achieve

xtervaganza:
let's not have a stoopid and baseless argument.



Are you seriously gonna compare omeruo with Taribo? No let ppl slap you for street ooo




And yes, Taribo rivalled Maldini and the very best of defenders of the world in his prime

Princecalm:
my simple quesion is what as Omeruo not achieve that Taribo West had when he was age 20

xtervaganza:
playing in the best league week in week out with the very best football has to offer. Big achievement if you ask me




And don't mention trophies, Victor Valdés has achieved more than Oliver Kahn, is he better than Kahn?

lorRhyMeZ:


Olympic gold medal aint beans

Princecalm:
what do you mean by Valdes has achieved more than Kahn,in what aspect.

xtervaganza:

danbrowndmf:

Valdes:6 La liga,2 copa del rey,6 super cup espafia,3 UCL,2 UEFA super cup,2 Fifa world club cup total-20

sociable:
Taribo is experienced and had the right to say what he feels about those who are playing the side he has onece played.
He is a legend.
Does winning the nation's cup give them the right to relax now?...... They are suppose to be getting better!

My Opinion though.

Guykhena:

hayzed2:


This shows that you know nothing but little about football, No viable judgement from you so far.

frustratedman:



YES

xtervaganza:
how about his world cup and euros medal?


You forgot that one too?




And actually I was referring to their national team trophies not club trpohies

danbrowndmf:
ur own Hell fire dem go tripple d fire.

Princecalm:
he won the world cup and the Euros based on the hard labour of others,he never made an appearance during the world cup and euros which Spain won and so will not be fully respected as an achievement.Assuming Valdes was the no.1 choice during that outing do you think spain would have won that trophy.

Former Super Eagles great, Taribo West has blasted the defensive pair of Kenneth Omeruo and Godfrey Oboabona, labelling their efforts in the ongoing Nations Cup qualifiers as amateurish.

The former Derby County defender, once considered world class by his peers, clearly has a low opinion on the Eagles' current back line after pushing the national team's caretaker coach Shaibu Amodu to look for replacements for both centre-back and left-back positions.West, who won a gold medal in the 96' Olympic Games, claimed Nigeria had themselves to blame for their disappointing position and Omerou and Oboabona should take the majority of the blame.

- The Eagles impressed me [during their 3-1 win over Sudan] but our defence was suspect and Omeruo and [Godfrey] Oboabona played like amateur defenders, Taribo told hereisthecity.com
- They are good defenders but they were too relaxed and made the same mistakes over and over again. We have conceded goals in the same way in the qualifiers.- Sudan's goal in Nigeria's 3-1 win was similar to the one against us in the first leg in Kartoum.

- They only did well against South Africa, though they made some mistakes. South Africa had the opportunity to execute one-on-one moves and score goals but Vincent Enyeama saved us. The two defenders didn't play like champions or professionals in other games.- I think they need competition. We need to scout for new central defenders. I would have suggested that they should be dropped but we don't have better replacements for them now. But we should work on improving their weaknesses.
This is not the first time West will rail at young defenders, as he labelled Joseph Yobo and the other new faces in the Super Eagles team to the 2002 World Cup in Korea Japan as 'junk players'http://www.futaa.com/football/article/omeruo-and-oboabona-are-amateurs--taribo-west

Even Oliver Kahn would swap being a world cup on the bench than not winning it at all
