Rest this matter pls

charlesemeka85:
even the Anguissa is too clumsy too my liking

The guy wan be pogba overnight 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm currently watching the recap like this, I pity the guy Anguissa, he was really frustrated yesternight, nobody of note to pass to. And that Papa Gueye (no 25) of Senegal was on his case 24/7.

the Present ONANA
and The Egypt Goal keeper . who is the worst ?

I nominate Onana. Nothing wey Dat guy wan keep for my eye.

All Wilfred Zaha total professional goal, Epl, CIV, oneteam4turkeyspor no reach #100

Find another player.

is this a fact, or just cruise?? Cuz omo

chrisooblog:
Onyeka was good in our last match but in the long term you won't get the best out him if he plays DM. He's not completely comfortable with the ball at his feet.

No one looks at the number of wrong passes he made in dangerous areas.

Danielnino00:


Club and national team are never the same... Your performance at club level will earn you an invitation to the national team, but it is your performance in the national team that will keep you in the national team..
Iheanacho has justified his stay in the national team by every standard..
You may not want to admit it for obvious reasons,but Iheanacho is ne of the most technically gifted player in the team..

Dude are you listening to yourself 🤔

Obvious reasons 😮 Eze, Olise, Zaha, are technically gifted players. Irrespective of the whatever team KC plays in technically gifted is not word I would use to describe him.

Decent finisher good technique but not exceptional yes. Boniface, Ademola, Iwobi, Aina, Chukwueze are technically more gifted than him.

If VO was not performing in club and league he would not be in the SE. His continuous top performance in club have kept him in the SE not just past glories.

This is why comparison is made continuously about players in the HERE and NOW to see who might give the best quality in the national team. Not because he did it before he can do it again.

Consider that Nathan Tella scored 17 goals in the Championship which KC is struggling to get recognition in. I would not say that KC is more technically gifted than Nathan Tella and or clinical add to the mix KC is not match fit after coming back from injury.

mostob:
All this epistles are for your pocket. Kalvin Philip I not playing regularly yet he keeps getting called up. Maguire was a disaster last season but still made the WC squad. How do you justify these?

Maguire no justification but Kalvin Philips doesn't have anybody competing with him in England add to that he is Manchester City none of our players will get into City now.

So in the context of the world class quality around Kalvin Philips it's understandable, he gets selected.

yinkeys:
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves now
One game at a time
We should live in the moment lol
Still a long way to go
Still got good teams in the tournament
CIV coach goofed for not inviting Zaha

Big time

I called a friend from Cote De Voire and he explained there were cultural differences which Zaha had not tuned into.

He didn't understand why they had to share rooms, he did not like sharing room with guys openly practicing JuJu, some of the food was not up to scratch.

In Africa even when officials are taking your bonuses you keep QUITE when things are going wrong you keep QUITE, when you get grief from government officials you keep QUITE.

Unfortunately Zaha is vocal and doesn't understand those cultural dynamics.

You can say I'm talking rubbish but you will not hear this in the media.

superbloke:


See the excuse he's giving. No one is better than Kalvin Philips in that position. Person wey dey glued to the bench for the past 2 seasons. If it is Nwakali or Kelechi now, criteria will change.

There are some teams getting on the bench is a major feat in itself. Teams like, Real Madrid, Manchester City, etc

Nwakali will not smell the U18 and KC will not smell the bench of city Now.

Odegaard was a bench warmer for Real went straight into Arsenal team and dominated from day one, he is the captain of Arsenal.

Or Pogba from Manchester United youth team and occasional bench warmer to midfield general at Juventus immediately on arrival.

Lesson - NO BE ALL BENCH BE BENCH

humility33:

Oshimen don too miss chances brother. The thing dey vex me when we get strikers may e go bury am for bench

Osimhen's all-round play and pressing is too good for him to be benched. His finishing will also get better, I'm sure. He just needs to be calm when in front of goal. He wants this afcon win so much, he's looking desperate.

Onuachu is capable

charlesemeka85:

It's not about misses. Surely missing chances comes with the terrain. The emphasis is on the number of misses and missing clear chances too

chrisooblog:

You know why he had to play as a DM. Modern football requires players to be versatile. Won't be bad if he develops that part of his game. Increases his value

Mujtahida:

Iheanacho is our most clinical striker. Would not miss as much chances as Osimhen has so far missed.

Iheanacho is our most clinical striker but we should not forget that Osimhen's pace, on and off the ball runs and counter attacking ability/instinct is what creates most of those chances.

Iheanacho relies heavily on a pass from the midfield or wings in order to score.He is not fast on the counter.So we won't be seeing most of those chances with Iheanacho starting.

Mujtahida:

Iheanacho is our most clinical striker. Would not miss as much chances as Osimhen has so far missed.

He would not even see most of the chances,as the opponent defenders will get the ball before him.

Osimhen's aggression,pace and ability to get to a through ball before the opponent defenders makes him an asset in counter attacking situation.

charlesemeka85:
so mk we kill am na because he missed those chances? Una go buy gun mk we tk track am 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great player like Drogba missed a penalty that would hv handed CIV their first afcon in the finals against Zambia

Yak’s miss against Korea nko?

Even almighty Messi and Cr7 don miss clear cut chances tire in their illustrious careers both in the national teams and clubs

Abeg Mk una die the matter abeg

People are still talking about Yak's miss over ten years ago and Ikpeba Afcon penalty mishap over 20 years ago but we should shhusssh about Osimhen's miss just less than a week ago?

Is he some sacred cow? I rarely criticise Osimhen because I really do believe in him but to say people should not talk about his profligacy is downright ludicrous. Even Osimhen with the high standard he holds himself to, will likely not agree with you. Yes. He himself said it that he missed chances. Go and tell him to die the matter.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3u8zlwuVNNs?si=cmXyvpv4YFLFnPBw

How stating the obvious fact that he missed chances amounts to killing or not allowing him is beyond me. You guys twists things and create needless arguments out of it. You cannot police people on what they should or should not say. You counter it with your own facts not set down a totalitarian demand that people should shut up.

This is what most people don't understand about Osimeh. He gets those chances in the first place because of his dogged play. He is a terrorist to defenders because of his dogged ness, positioning, and strength.

I remember as a child we always mocked Van Nistelrooy for always scoring tap ins, but as we learnt more about the game, we realized Van Nistelrooy did the hard work to put himself in those positions and not all strikers are capable of that.

This is the kind of conversation we should be having on this issue not charlesemeka85 telling people to die the matter. If you are put off by people talking about his misses, just ignore the post.

charlesemeka85:
Belgian 2nd tier? 🤕

Well Zulte likely to gain promotion next season. Decent move judging where he joined them from

at least one point away from first place

Marjoribanks:
We might meet Cameroon if we top our group.

I would have preferred Guinea!

Cameroon has been the best team in that group but has been unlucky!

best team how??

Please for subsequent games, it will be wrong to sub in Onuachu except we want to hold on to a lead.

We play counter attack/attacking football under peseiro, so we need fast forwards not an Onuachu who is slow.

Terem Moffi would have been a better sub if we needed another goal.

For this tournament Iheanacho will have to compete with Chukwueze and Simon for a position on the Right wing or he will be like a super sub in this tournament.

In the most recent game Iheanacho played for us, he scored . So which past glory are you exactly talking about?

Nigeriagood:

Most players with high centre of gravity tend to be slow.

How many through balls was he able to use?

Was he able to get a shot on target or off-target from a counter?

We play fast attacking football under peseiro, relying heavily on the pace of our front three.

Definitely agree!!

chrisooblog:
Na bro Cameroon just played with determination and gra gra. They lack quality in many areas and it's painfully obvious. Senegal was just slack for some reason. They could easily have hammered them 4-0 the way we did in Uyo that year. This Cameroon team at the AFCON may have the heart but the quality is seriously lacking.

Nigeriagood:
Onuachu is not slow

Why did you think he struggled in Southampton last season?

It's because most mid-table team/teams who want to stay above the relegation zone adopt counter attacking system of play.
