You said you need new faces that will pose the threats to our starting 11. I asked you to name them those new faces that will pose those threats and you only mentioned Kalu.

Are Musa and Simon also part of the "New faces"?
Chief why are you dribbling Joebie like you are in court of law.

I think Joebie believe bettter to have a strong bench than players who are satisfied sitting on the bench.

Uzoho Concedes 17th Goal As Deportivo Fabril Lose At Home; Ambrose Features In Hibernian Win Vs Celtic
9 April 21, 2018 11:09 pm

Super Eagles goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho, conceded three goals while in action for RC Deportivo Fabril in Saturday’s 3-1 home defeat to Celta Vigo B in the Spanish Segunda B Group 1, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

Uzoho who was making his 22nd appearance for the club has now conceded 17 goals, and kept 12 clean sheets for RC Deportivo Fabril.

Efe Ambrose helped his Scottish League side, Hibernian FC record a 2-1 win over Celtic in the Scottish Premier League at Easter Road on Saturday. The defeat delayed Celtic’s title triumph.

The win was the first for the Hibs over Celtic since December 2012, and it was the third time that Brendan Rodgers’ side has lost in the league this season.

Ambrose has made 34 SPL appearances for the Hibs this season.

In Turkey, Shehu Abdulahi made his 12th appearance for Bursaspor in their 4-1 away win at Karabukspor.

The Nigeria international was yellow carded in the 72nd minute of the ill-tempered encounter that saw seven yellow cards and a red card issued.

His compatriots, William Troost Ekong and Mikel Agu were unused substitutes in the encounter. It was the second game in a row that the pair were left out of the starting lineup.

William Troost Ekong has made 25 appearances for the club scoring twice while Mikel Agu has 22 games under his belt scoring twice as well.

Ogenyi Onazi was not included in Trabzonspor’s side that lost 2-0 at home to Sivasspor. Onazi has made 18 league appearances for Trabzonspor this term.
Sammy Ameobi played all 90 minutes for Bolton Wanderers who slumped to a 4-0 defeat at home to English Premier League bound side, Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The game was Ameobi’s 33rd of the season. Bolton remains two points clear of the relegation zone, in 21st position, with 40 points from 44 games.

Ola Aina played for 44 minutes before he was replaced by Fikayo Tomori in Hull City’s 5-5 draw with Bristol City. The game was Aina’s 44th appearance this season for Hull in the English Championship.

Yes my point is if you think your bench is not good enough to keep ur starters on their toes never cease looking for that kind of bench, else your starters will feel indispensable and your familiar bench will be comfortable sitting there. To raise the standard of the team there should be a feeling that there is always a position for grabs. Every player will try to put in their best consistently. Any player that have good numbers deserve to be invited to also fight.

He is the one dribbling himself.

Name that player that deserves a starting place that has not been invited. He could not.

I even had to come down to the second 11. He still couldn't. He then said he was pulling my legs.

He later came up again that he needs New faces that will pose a competitive threat to the starting 11 players. Again I asked him to name those players if he knows any. He mentioned Samuel Kalu. OK. Can Kalu pose a threat to V. Moses and Iwobi? He shifted to Musa and Simon.

He has not provided any solutions to the puzzle he is trying to create.

MetalJigsaw:
You have just vindicated my point, bro. If Nacho is actually a dribbler as you calim, why did you have to dig so deep to recall just one skill he displayed about 5 years ago?.. Is he not still playing? why not show us a game where he dribbled his markers at least three times.

Look at V. Moses for example, he was among the best dribblers in the last game against Burnley... I think second or so.
And this occurs almost regularly.

I'm surprisedthat someone is arguing on this obvious fact.

A dribbler is one that REGULARLY or USUALLY ( not seldom), confidently and enterprisingly confronts his marker with the daring and direct aim of getting past him with a piece of skill or trickery.

I don't know how you see Nacho in this category.

Messi, Mahrez, Hazard, V. Moses, Samuel Kalu, Simone Moses, Onyekuru. Robben, Neymar etc are examples


I was watching the video but stopped at 3 minutes , just couldn't see anything that reflected outstanding dribbling skill and then against a MLS team from 2/3 years ago, that's a poor desperate example.

He has been at Leicester for almost a whole season, how many times does he beat a player one on one almost never. Compare him to Grey and Mahrez and you see these theses two beating players continuously two on one and even three on one and regularly.

KC has an excellent left foot and many other attributes but dribbling is simply not one of them.

Is even the starting 11 indispensable? No.

You definitely have to keep inviting players that will create competition in the team.

Now, but my question is do you currently have any player(s) that can induce such competition that is yet to be invited . If Yes, name the players. Very simple.

Iwobi Starts As Arsenal Thrash West Ham; Burnley Hold Stoke
0 April 22, 2018 4:03 pm

By Johnny Edward: Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi made his 23 rd English Premier League appearance this season for Arsenal in Sunday’s 4-1 win over West Ham at the Emirates Stadium, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.

Nacho Monreal’s second half volley from inside West Ham’s penalty area gave the Gunners the lead in the 51 st minute but a clinical finish from Marko Arnautovic inside the Arsenal box restored parity for the Hammers.

Late goals from Aaron Ramsey and a brace from Alexandre Lacazette sealed the win for Arsenal.

The game was Alex Iwobi’s 62 nd EPL appearance since he made his EPL debut against Swansea in October 2015 and his 30 th win. Pierre Emerick Aubamenyang replaced the Nigerian international in the 70th minute.

The Gunners, playing their first game since their coach Arsene Wenger announced he will step down from his post at the end of the season, dominated the Hammers who deployed more men in defence.
Arsenal’s first real attempt on target in the encounter saw Joe Hart comfortably save Granit Xhaka’s freekick.

Wenger’s men were dealt a blow with the injury of Mohamed Elneny who left the pitch on a stretcher after he injured his ankle in the first half.

Monreal broke the deadlock, volleying in corner in the 51st minute but Arnautovic drew West Ham level by finishing off Manuel Lanzini’s pass in the 64 th minute.
Ramsey restored Arsenal’s lead in the 82 ndminute after his cross evaded the West Ham defenders into the net.

Lacazette made it 3-1 finishing after brilliant team play involving Pierre Emerick Aubamenyang and Welbeck.

The Frenchman bagged his brace in the 89 thminute to put the game beyond the Hammers reach.

With the win, Arsenal stay sixth in the table with 57 points while West Ham are 15th with 35 points.

At the bet365 Stadium also on Sunday, Badou Ndiaye’s 11 th minute goal gave Stoke City a first half lead over Burnley.
Ashley Barnes’ second half strike earned Burnley a point.

Stoke remain 19 th in the EPL table with 29 points from 35 games while Burnley occupy seventh position with 53 points from 35 games.

That's why i said no need to argue it cos Iheanacho has passed that level.

I had the opportunity of watching him live in UAE during U 17 WC and closely during their training at Rashidiya.

I will not deceive you his pace is enough to delete opponents so he doesn't even need to drribble.

Check him and Awoniyi critically at U 17 they outshone their opponents with high pressing pace.


I rarely use past youth exploits to determine a players current attributes and or capacity. There is a huge gulf between youth football and senior football so many players never make the transition. So many are given opportunity based on youth level performances but fail to make the grade.

At youth level Awonoyi and KC looked fast in the EPL they are not considered to have blistering pace. they are off the mark where pace is concerned.

Without being a prophet of doom but being objective and considering all the variables, Nwakali, Awonoyi will probable never play for the clubs that own them, Arsenal and Liverpool.

I could give you a list of players who have played for the top EPL youth teams even got to play for age grade national squad who are playing non league within 2/3 years of leaving the academy and these are Oyibo boys so discrimination no deh.

Even though I don't like coming into nacho argument because of d obvious reason, but in dis case,let me chip in something,from ur last statement,I doubt if any player on earth don't knw aw to DRIBBLE!,so definitely Iheanacho can dribble too,even G.k dribble players too,we av seen so many examples like dt,where gk would dribble player when he rushes out to clear d ball,but d question now is from IHEANACHO STYLE OF PLAY,can his dribbling skills be compared to d likes of ROBINHO,ZIDANE,OKOCHA,NEYMAR,RONALDO DELIMA,WHOM ARE KNOWN FOR HAVING GREAT DRIBBLING SKILLS?
Y'all just bringing new questions into the equation. Now all players can dribble cause Iheanacho had three in a match. Now y'all are adding Robihno and d rest.

Someone even implied that Nacho can dribble really well but he does not rely on it. Isn't that funny?

At this point in time, it may help Iwobi to go on loan in a lesser league of some sorts. Wenger has given this kid so many opportunities to prove himself but he has consistently failed to deliver. I fear that new management will relegate him to the bench.

Iwobi will not go on loan to a lesser league

If iwobi will leave arsenal he will go to another premier league team,teams like Brighton Bournemouth and co,but if you expect him to go to a lesser league or championship,Hello No
