He has had a fair share of those bad games. Off the top of my head, I recall his blunders against Serbia, England, Libya(away), now this. If I prove further, I might unearth some more.
When will these errors become one too many?

Are u talking about the playing area? If so, they can’t have different measurements.

cc12:
Standard pitches aren't of the same size but have a minimum measurement to be rated as a standard pitch, for example Stamford Bridge's pitch and that of Estadio Camp Nou aren't of the same size or measurement

Son Heung-min at the Asian Cup: How many games will Tottenham star miss?How long could Mauricio Pochettino be without his star forward?

Spurs will be without Son Heung-min for a significant portion of the new year (Getty Images)

Finlay Greig8:32 Wednesday January 9th 2019

The news you need, condensed.

[/b]Son Heung-min is the Premier League’s in-form player, rattling in six goals and laying on a further three assists in just his last five matches.

But come January Son is set to miss a series of league fixtures as he prepares to take part in the Asian Cup with South Korea.[b]


The call-up could have huge ramifications for Tottenham, the title race and Fantasy Premier League.

Nearly 650,000 FPL managers currently have the forward in their teams, but will need to transfer him out ahead of Tottenham’s Gameweek 23 fixture against Fulham.

How many games will Son Heung-min miss?

[/b]The good news for Spurs fans is that the club have negotiated with South Korea and Son will not take part in the first two group fixtures against Kyrgyzstan and the Philippines.

This means that Son will be available for Tottenham’s clash with Manchester Unitedin Gameweek 22.

The bad news, however, is that South Korea are among the tournament favourites and stand a good chance of going the distance.[b]


Should South Korea reach the Asian Cup final, Son Heung-min would miss the following games: Fulham (January 20), Watford (January 30) and Newcastle (February 2), as well as the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie with Chelsea.

Son will also be out of contention for Tottenham’s FA Cup fourth round match at the end of January.

In the same 2017, a certain Kelechi Nwakali was hailed by all and sundry as the perfect solution to our midfield woes. Some even went as far as asking Rohr to take him to the WC instead of "old and washed up" Mikel Obi. All that hype because of just ONE good performance in a FRIENDLY game.

Time will always separate the chaff from the wheat.

You're deflecting. I was obviously talking about the Asian cup in January. It was around that period Kane got injured.
Son was one of the most inform players in the league before he left.
He missed the first two group games for Korea because Spuds kept him back. Simple.

Uzoho made a mistake. A bad one, yes but not enough to write him off. He was solid at the world cup even after shaky friendlies.

We have a goalkeeping problem. The 3 goalkeepers invited are not playing regularly and that is bound to affect their sharpness.

I do not understand the unwillingness to try out new goalies.

We want to keep bringing Super Eagles to Asaba – Okowa

Friday, March 22, 2019 5:05 am


Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State

Tonobok Okowa, the Chairman of Delta Sports Commission, says the state will be delighted to continuously have the Super Eagles play their matches in Asaba.

Okowa told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Asaba that the team’s handlers seemed comfortable with the Delta capital city’s hosting capabilities and facilities.

“The state government has not influenced it in any way.

“The choice of Asaba by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) may be out of the fact that the state has successfully hosted other international matches and that the facilities are good.

“The state government has not really done any form of pushing to continue to host the matches in Asaba, but if the state has the option, it will grab it.

“We want to keep bringing them (the Eagles) back because we want to always put the stadium into use and our people love to have them here,’’ he said.

The Delta sports official pointed out that Asaba was well situated and bordered by states such as Edo, Anambra and several others.

“I guess the NFF loves what we have here and the first time we ever hosted an event for them was the Aiteo Cup.

“I am sure they (NFF) loved the turnout of people and the crowd was overwhelming. This may be why they are coming back.

“The city’s location is strategic and I know that they will always want to use this place and we will be obliged to be giving it to them at all times,” he said.

Okowa assured that every arrangement to successfully host the three international matches slated for Friday and next week at the Keshi Stadium had been concluded.

He added that they expected to have a surge of spectators.

“Here, we are talking about two international matches between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Seychelles coming up on Friday, the Super Eagles’ friendly with Egypt and the Nigeria Under-23 team’s fixture against Libya next week.

“We want people to come out and cheer them, but we guess we will have a surge. However, we have put mechanism in place to control the crowd and the traffic will be put under check throughout the period of the match.

“We have a good security architecture in place to manage the situation,” he said.

LESSONS WE LEARNED FROM NIGERIA VS SEYCHELLES

1) We need more goalkeeping options:Uzoho is not good enough

2) Mikel needs to get back to the team :Rohr should settle whatever rift he has with Mikel because when Iwobi is not at his best the team lacks creativity

3) We desperately need a set piece taker: Apart from Etebo nobody is decent enough on setpieces and being a tall team that was what we should be capitalizing on

4) The search for a good striker continues : Onuachu has flattered to deceive on his debut, that means Nigeria still seeks a replacement or competition for Ighalo, I advice Rohr to look to Mfom Udoh who has been banging goals in the NPFL for seasons now

5) NFF should listen to Rohr about stadium choices :The match played in Asaba hindered the players instead of bringing out the creativity in them and being so close to Afcon the Super Eagles need to be playing on a good pitch to bring them to rhythm

6) Onyekuru is a star player : despite mesmerizing the opponents in the Seychelles match, Onyekuru recorded two headers one resulting to a goal, more than any other Nigerian player and for the smallest player on the pitch that is quite an achievement

7) The Nigerian crowd need to wake up :Apart from the Supporters club the rest of the stadium was silent and spectating instead of supporting, In the U-23 match against Libya the Nigerian team needs the crowd behind them
