We can't keep crying Wolf when things don't go our way,not in a well justifiable case such as this anyway.

Diego Costa's 19 Premiership goals won 15 points for Chelsea in the season under review. Statistically, no player won more points for their team last season than Costa. This is pure gold if you ask me.
Diego Costa is not a well loved character. Players loathe him and his antics. Its academic the players themselves wouldn't give him their vote.

More so, both Kane and Lukaku that made PFA 11 striker spot scored more goals than Costa.

If u can admit that players are sentimental it should not be a surprise to you that sentiments led to Walker being picked ahead of Moses.

Kante is a rarity.. Defensive minded players has to be ultra good to be noticed.

But he did. Why can't Moses do too?

Thanks for chipping this in. It totally escaped me.... The PFA gong is very authentic. Nothing beats being recognised by your peers in the industry.
The whole world can't be wrong at the same time.

Lol. Only blind men will overlook Salah, Mane and aubameyang for Moses.

FIFA was not blind.
World coaches are not blind.
Over 500 EPL players cannot be blind.
Bundesliga analysts are not blind.
Italian journalists are not blind
Chelsea fans are not blind.
Liverpool fans are not blind.
CAF technical committee are not blind
BBC viewers are not blind

But you here want us to believe they are blind to rank Mane, Salah and aubameyang high.

Now we know who has African mentality.

They were blinded by prejudice.

Different players.. For Kante to win it , he had to be an unstoppable machine..

There is an obvious bias for offensive players.

For Moses to win it, he has to have an outstanding WC with goals/assists. Nigeria should also get to the semis with moses as the best player.

Doesn't stop the fact that Salah, Aubameyang and Mane did better than Moses even in 2016/2017.

So Aguero, Sanchez and Diego Costa were also noncritical abi? Only 11 can make the team, this does not have much to do with criticality.

This was the genesis.

And we proved conclusively to you that Kane and Lukaku that made the PFA 11 scored more goals than the 3 guys that took the spot they could have taken in PFA11

Moses didn't redefine football, he's not the best player at Chelsea, he's wasn't the best right back in London nor the Epl,he wasn't the best African footballer last season in Europe. Period

There is need for our players to learn from KANU Nwankwo or else they would continue to fail to win APOTY.

Pls check Kanu' s career as a player and analyse how he was so highly rated,if care is not taking you get confused cos his record with Super eagles wasn't impressive and even his club sides can be debated but the guy was always on the news cos he always seized the opportunity the moment he find himself in any big match and do wonder that cannot be erased in the world of football

KANU won his first Africa best due to his magical performance against Brazil in Atlanta and won his second African best due to his great hat trick against Chelsea though he had some other outstanding matches but the Chelsea one was a great feat that cannot be ignored.

There is need for our players to tell the outside world that they are not Nigeria player alone but World rated player,pls check out Aubemayang rating,this is world respected striker and Sallah is going that way too


Remember being the best is not enough to win it,Okocha failed to win it and average Victor Ikpeba won it with his exploit with Monaco despite not even a regular with super eagles.Emma Amuneke won it too but only Yekini won it due to his super eagles performance.

I don't think CAF is biased with strong presence of Amaju as executive member but Nigeria players just need to repackage themselves as a world beater cos consistency matter a lot.Mind you if not for Toure Mikel would have won it in 2013 cos we had only him and Toure that year,remember Enyeama too

Truly very saddened not to see Victor Moses in the last shortlisted three best players,not a good development for our football.

Well said bro.

It is even sadder that with the myriad of Nigerian players in Europe, the only person we are banking on is Vis Moses. Is he the only one earning salary?

A wing back for that matter. Where are the so-called attackers?

I once argued that our Stars may not just be doing well enough to catch their coaches attention but my argument was refuted on the grounds that the coaches have no plans for some of our players.

I can understand if some coaches are adamant and insist on certain players but in the case of nacho (a very talented player, and it pains me to write this), you can't just be going down like that and blame it on Claude or pep.

These coaches gave you opportunities; what did you do with them?

In the world of football, competition is stiff and even if you are given a cameo appearance, make maximum use of it because there are many players waiting for you to slip-up to take your position, even the coaches are under pressure to deliver and may not have patience with unproductive attackers. This is the plain truth.

Mangala was a burst before pep came and he has improved greatly, pep knows how to bring out the best from players. Why was Nacho's case different?

If we want to start celebrating our players, we need to start demanding more from them, CAF award or FIFA awards are no joke. I pray our players prove themselves as world beaters in Russia.

I heard recently that Rohr has visited some of the clubs where our players ply their trades to demand for more playing time for some of them. Nice one sir but that's the best he can do. It's left to them to demand for loan or permanent moves to get more playing time or else face the grim reality that they may not be in Russia. I trust Rohr

I just de read this article DE vex.

What is the writer suggesting we do? The whole NFF to prostrate, do he can walk on them or what.

Rorh has made it vocal about his admiration for Enyeama. What has Enyeama done on his part? Has he rescinded his decision to retire?

If he can't keep up with Rorh's terms and conditions, he better stay away from the team.

I have said it times without numbers that Onyekuru can't play the Striker role but some people : wants to make us believe otherwise just to squeeze him into the team.

Onyekuru must fight for the LW position but I don't think he is the best or inform in that position currently in Europe even in Belgium. grin




Everton Loanee Henry Criticized By Anderlecht Coach For The Umpteenth Time


Published: December 18, 2017



http://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/915905483?-21310:11479:1

Shut up there.

This man makes me angry whenever he speaks, he's always singling out Onyekuru out for criticisms. What about that his polish striker Teodorchyk that has been firing blanks all season? Him no wan talk him own.

What about his miserable defense that let in 5 goals?

I hope Onyekuru gets out of this stronger, as I know for sure, this coach is looking for a way to freeze him out of the squad and Henry's continuous goal scoring show isn't helping him at all.
