Appreciate the feedback.

Smart people understand that it is the post you engage the most that will be talked about the most. I dropped Awoniyi goal hypes across various posts... how many engaged it? Only Kog45 (Big Awo fan) & maybe just a few talks and it died down.

I drop Osimhen... how many engaged it? Not so much.

But I drop Nwakali assist and you see one f**l quoting it multiple times saying the same old rubbish. And then he turns around and say we are talking too much about Nwakali. Do you see how stewpid that sounds?


Lengthy without substance? Well, We have Dumb Fat Charles to thank for that. Lmaoooo
It is still engaging him in the multiple quotation that extends it sha.

Please next try just try to ignore.

K.Nwakali's first half for Ponferradina vs Cartegena

Cartegena 1-1 Ponferradina (HT)

1 assist (You need to watch it to understand how good it was)
1 chance created.
100% ground duels won (5/5).
3/5 accurate long balls.
8 recoveries.
2 interceptions.
2 tackles.
70% passing accuracy (23/33).

He's also the most fouled player in the game so far (2).

This is good

Sometimes, it's better to address a little and then ignore.

This is because "totally ignoring" gives the "gullible ones" ideas.

Funny part is after all their noise is done and settled, they and their idiotic fans will each return to the reality that stares them in the face. The reality of their pathetic little lives.

So let Tomfoolery continue showing itself. It always attracts more followers than real substance.

Wisdom speaks and then stops and watches.... but foolishness and "pseudos" always keep yapping and yapping to sound smart and relevant.

Non-Nigerian related but just a reflection on how time can be so funny yet brutal.

As far back as 2017 - 2018, most coaches will have Dele Alli and Alex Iwobi in the same side.... and their pick will obviously be Dele.

Fast forward to 2022... Iwobi is an Everton Mainstay while Alli looks like he's heading out the door at Everton and headed to Turkey. Hmmm...

...Time. Respect Time.

Video Clip: K.Nwakali's Assist

https://twitter.com/nwakali25/status/1559483341895860225?t=5xY6f1HRfwqqWyRiaAJHoQ&s=19




P.S: *For those interested abeg. Don't quote me saying nonsense. Thank you.

This is delicious.

How Nwakali and Alex Iwobi played second fiddle in Eguavoen's system that favours long balls is still an enigma.

Imagine placing this kind of long pass to any of our forwards.

I have been avoiding suggesting this here until Nwakali hits 10 games this season showing same form and quality in the middle.... but the hint is this and I have long mentioned it as one of the options on twitter.

An Ndidi-Nwakali-Iwobi Midfield, with all in form, will be a near perfect mix of Steel and Complete cruise control. I know you have mentioned this too before (I just nodded at that post and smiled).

It is also similar to what I expect in an Ndidi-Alhassan-Iwobi MF Trio. Another near perfect trio from tactical POVs.


But these will hopefully take place with time...

For now, I want to see an Ndidi-Iwobi-Aribo MF trio first. I know its couple of tactical imperfections but that is the midfield combo that, I believe, has earned a chance to be seen properly when next we meet for international games.


Eguavoen really messed us up at the Afcon. You talk of long balls yet kept Nwakali benched despite seeing what he could do in that 3rd group game...and then he kept Iwobi benched too and when he played him, it was wingwards towards the right for most of the Afcon tournament.
Ofcos Iwobi in turn didn't do himself any favors by flunking in that role. But it still all falls on Egu.

Thanks goodness for Lampard who got Iwobi going again and finally moved him centrally (as already suggested beforehand by me via twitter) for about 6-9 games or so before finishing with him as RB last season.

Before this new season began, the question arose on twitter about where Lampard should play Iwobi and I said, he should simply use him exactly how he did when Iwobi began playing under Lamps.... As a deeplying CM.

The best part is that Peseiro understood from the first moments he resumed the Super Eagles job that Iwobi is the man to properly oil the wheels of our middle game and keep things rolling from deep.
I guess he saw that we were lacking that deeplying conductor and it shows in the way we have been playing under him even though it is still early days.

Iwobi is our main central midfield playmaker and one who can also play further forward as a number 10 if another deeplying midfield player is assigned that deep conductor role.

What we have here is an opportunity to lift the face of our middle game dynamics. It is up to the SE crew to take things further.
