Someone is claiming Lookman wanna use SE to break to the Everton starting XI cos Onyenkuru is more rated by the same Club?!

Well I have nothing more to add, cos it's apparent you did reason like him.

How can he see that? No, he can't.

. It's times like this I get ashamed being a Nigerian for we are too sentimental,judgemental and hypocritical. It's saddening mehn sad

Thank you for this

Yes ighalo has been a bad player no doubt

But the diss on him is too much,even our last game was a normal game I see no reason for people to insult him in our last game.

They insult ighalo because he is bad,but they praise their fan favorite even when they know the person is playing nonsense.

Who b monkey who be mumu ?

Nobody is perfect but I can never be a bias and childish football fan like most Nigerians

The only time I ever advocated for Ighalo because of his holdup play was against Cameron way back then and it worked. Simy Nwankwo has how many goals in the Serie A this season? There is no way any coach would start him over a red-hot Ighalo, that is one of the laws of nature. If we have Simy averaging like 10-15 goals per season then we can call his name but he isn't, and that's the reason. It is currently clear that we are short of options in that department presently.


Quick question, based on your definition of a false 9, what did Musa play against Iceland? A false 9?


Simy has dropped to Seria B. He is nolonger Seria A player.

I remember watching Ighalo during U 20 WC and i asked myself was Siasia blind.

Really surprised to see him having good season with Watford and honestly apart from Cameroon match both home and away,am not impressed with Ighalo total output in GWG.

But the big question do we have someone to replace him?YES and NO

YES if we can be patient with the young ones like Sadiq Umar,Taiwo Awoniyi may be they can shake the tables but guess what a lot would still raise eyebrows calling this young lads.

Pls can Simy do it?I don't think so cos his goal scoring record not that good.

I think Rohr should change his formation to suit what we have or else we keep on struggling.

Yes we have. Olanrewaju Kayode, Bonaventure and Dessers should be tried.


Awoniyi still need to prove himself.

I am celebrating already, if una no wan join me celebrate, una dey own on una own. Lookman is one Anglo Nigerian I so much love his style, hence I wanted to strangle Southgate when he was trynna rubbish him here, tipping his client Onyedinma to make a better career at the long run. He kept on calling lookman a packaged deal where money changed hand, while Onyedinma to him was the real deal. Hahaha today, where is Onyedinma compared to Lookman grin grin

Onyedinma is a good player. Choosed to be loyal and now he's going down.

No matter what, if a player is good it can't be hidden. Let us wait and see what becomes of him.

Do u think fans can't easily enter the pitches in Europe? I know u don't expect me to be naïve enough to believe that the fans in Europe don't enter the field because of the advertisement boards in front of them? I showed the picture of a Liverpool fan holding back Balotelli, were the Gambian fans close enough to touch any of your stars? You mentioned everything but nothing about AK47 toting soldiers and watching the fans.

If u want to report them to CAF for being unprofessional that is your FA's business but the fact remains none of that should concern the Algerian players. My brother this is a case of crying wolf meeting the pot calling the kettle black. You drew a country that u felt u should have bashed and u are making excuses but the truth is that Algeria is a very tough and rugged place to play football. Did the Gambians shine lights on your keeper or use flares like u guys are known for doing? I would be more scared of fan violence in Algeria because it has actually happened there unlike Gambia.




are you telling me that army soldiers with Ak 47 in stadiums is nice ? Normal ? Algerian players should feel more security to see soldiers with AK-47 war riffle between them and fans near the pitch ? Are you serious ? And you try to compare with europe ? , liverpool ? , soldiers with AK47 to protect baloteli in Anfield stadium grin common !


Not to talk about europ , army soldiers never enter algerian stadiums only policeman and they dont use guns . and in stadium near rining track they wear even bleu civilian sweatsuit to not intimidate visitors .


And violence in local algerian football league is another subject . in international match security is 100% , some lights, flares ? Common cant compare , and algeria dont use this cawardly tactics to intimidate guest . and if it was in algeria surrounded by 70.000 fans near the pitch with soldiers guns the players of the visiting team will not even know how to walk . not even play football in FIFA regulatory conditions .


No need to defend the indefensible

And believe me or not , getting 1 pt from gambia outside with current algerian team form is a good result for all sportanalyst i have seen on tv , so it have nothing to do with the result

Its have nothing to do with skin colors .

Its an official match for the qualification to african nation cup 2019 , not a friendly match, not a match between friends in the neighborhood , even for a local championship game it would be not normal .

And you can be a terminator , having near you 40.000 poeple that can enter the pitch easily, 40.000 poeple that security service could not get them back in the stands , you will be intimidated , its not fair for an official match . so imagine for professionnal players with millions dollars contract with club who play in europ and always in security conditions !

And even for fans safety 40.000 fan inside for a 25.000 stadium capacity , many gambian fans were unjured, few minutes before match start we have seen many medical evacuations and even an heart massage, cardiac arrest shocked ( see video)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jPspzS22hs

The algerian players substitutes for the match were sitting next to an advertising billboard literally right on the edge of the pitch. ( pic1) shocked


They played some random African pop music instead of the Algerian national anthem. embarassed


And you think its normal to play in this condition , this is one of the problems of our continent. we justify everything with oh man , this is Africa it's normal .



Na wa ooooo.

Ak47s are a norm in African stadiums lets not act brand new to the continent. I compared the distance between the fans and the pitch. The fans in Gambia were not close to the pitch. Why should you even care if the sat on the floor or they were injured, how did it affect the players performance. As a professional you should be ready for anything.

Wigan fans invaded the pitch when they beat man city and I am sure there were boundaries in place.

The fact is that there has been a lot of violence in Algerian football and that makes your fans scarier than Gambian fans. A guy just getting out of prison will always intimidate more. You guys have a track record of violence and they don't so your players should have had no reason to get intimidated. If people are willing to sit on the floor to watch their country that's a good thing don't you think?

Please explain further.

Yes, he did very well in making the SE a marketable brand, attracting sponsorship here and there.

And to see that he's come this far, I have to say he's playing the political aspect of the game quite right.

We saw what happened with the delayed MRI scan for the U-17 players. Manu complained about funds and inability to treat the sick ones as a result.

With the other Nigerian teams, he necessarily don't need to offer them equal attention, but just a little fraction of it can go a long way.

Well, I don't think his stats in that CF role support he will be good in that position.

Besides, we need a genuine AMF in the team and the only player in a decent league is Abdul Ajagun. He is the only one that plays in that position in Europe after I discovered that Ebere Eze plays more as a Central Midfielder.

Snapshot 1..... Abdul Ajagun

Snapshot 2 Ebere Eze
Eze can still fill in as an AM. Besides Iwobi is still around. We'll just play 4-3-3 when he isn't around. Ajagun really should be tried out in one of these friendlies.
As for Lookman, I saw him play once as a CF at Charlton and he was ok. Great finisher, quick feet and good movement. He'd make a great false 9

Nope its not the norm its not even norm-al . i havnt seen any army soldiers with assault rigle or AK in nigeria stadium near players during algerian nigerian game

See the conditions of game yourself


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKAEJ6mRgKY

Do you see any ak47 ? Do you see any risk or intimidation on the players ? I dont see any !

So for norms there is only one norm its FIFA , CAF norm and its forbidden to have fans near the pitch and players . again indefendable !

What's your definition of insults here? I've not come across one person insult Ighalo as a person, but his performance instead.

I know you're tryna be balanced, but you're doing a terrible job at that.

Ademola Lookman is an excellent addition. He is young and adds to the excellent wing players in the team.

We might not need a top 9 with the kinds of players, we have.
Rohr will have to sacrifice a DM if we want to go with a false 9. 2 DM and a not so mobile Mikel as 10 wouldn't work with a false 9. You need the front 4 to be very mobile and switch positions easily.

Lookman is currently with England under 21. Any announcement will come after their games. Until, he officially announces, best to have a bit of skepticism.
