This one go mad but I'll switch Iwobi and Eze, I don't think Iwobi will be more productive that Eze on the flanks but I guarantee he will link up play as AM

Talking about Iorfa it seems he is more settled in the CB position as opposed to RB where he played most of the time in his early career.
komekn:


When he went toe to toe with Dominic Iorfa that waa the day l said he has ARRIVED.

He was able to bully Dominic for a header and score. That's when l said this small boy has arrived. I had been seeing him at City as one small lanky boy from age 13.

Small pikin don turn Man.

Those trio (eze, aribo and Iwobi) will combine crazy passes among themselves. I prefer that to mazy runs that end unproductive most of the time. e.g players like Ejuke. But it's also good to have Ejuke as an option when we want to switch up play.

Will be watching Swansea playing Brentford tonight, although Swansea are a goal up.

Brentford have the better scoring ability and l think they will win it. My preference is for Swansea to win because it will be easier for Fulham to beat them than Brentford.

I actually had that thought about him two seasons ago, but not anymore.

One thing that gets players noticed is when you are outstanding in your league then you step up to a higher league and club.

That's what's happening with Osayi.

Football is about continous progression if you are not progressing somebody else will take your place.

In that context there should be continous competition for places, that creates better quality in the team.

Ok, so long he keeps improving.

As for now, I don't think he's ready to stake a claim.

I particularly love this formation. With Aribo,Eze and Iwobi, be expecting a lot of footwork. Against a weaker side,the FBs will provide the width ,Samuel will move a bit closer to Victor, Eze and Iwobi will be the creators while Aribo will make his typical late runs into the box.

The bolded is exactly the reason why excluded him but there are formations where his dribbling skills should be applied

When last did we even play 352

But person wey write this news no no anything, Eduok spend 3 seasons at kasimpasa and one season at Erzurumspor, so why are they saying he is only spending 1 season at a club since he moved to europe ?

Be like our NPFL players are too lazy to improve and upgrade themselves whenever they arrive abroad. This Eduok news made me remember SOKARI ..that guy na baller. Only God knows where e dey now

This is not an unusual thing as the preference for ball playing CB 's you will notice a lot more players moving from RB or LB and also DM to become out an out CB's.

Yobo was a winger that became a RB then a CB.

Seyi was a DM for Rotherham but a CB for WBA.

I noticed Mason Holegate has moved from RB to CB for Ancelotti, another example .

He moved to Kasimpasa 2017 and left January 2019. That's 1½ season.

They are the best pair for our defence and with the way i am seeing now others will settle for the bench, semi will be playing in the epl


It is not about best pair, it is about balance

Do you want 2 non ball players at the center of your defence? How did Etebo and Ndidi work out

I'm not sure if it was posted here, but according to brilla . net the NPFL 2019/2020 season was concluded using points per game. Our continental reps next season are Plateau United, Rivers United and Enyimba FC.

I read somewhere else that Kano Pillars gets the fourth spot because they won the confed cup last year, but I'm yet to verify.





Plateau utd has always produced a formidable side whats left is whether they can progress into the money spinning stage. The Tin city giants , city of my birth and bred always struggle to make any mark on the continent. My hopes are not high

So how is that 1 and the half season ?

Anderlecht target, Tolu Arokodare scored his 6th and 7th goals for in his team's 5-2 away loss to RFS. The player who is dubbed by Belgian media as "The New Osimhen" scored with his foot and then his head.

19 yr old has contributed 9 goals 1n 11 apps.

English football is actually changing. The influence of foreign coaches and ideas is improving it. Bielsa at leeds and other coaches is instilling some flair into their players. Komekn is trying to point thus out and he told me and its true. Although komkn is an extremist he is right on this issue

Correct Naija G to gbadun !
The most interesting piece on this matter is that we have never had an English man who played for super eagles and actually impressed and became a hero. Every single one of them is either a pretender or an outright failure in super eagles colors... grin grin. Namely , Reuben Agboola , Shola Amobi ,Efan Ekoku , Efe Sodje etc. Well , maybe the current batch could rewrite the history and actually give us some hope in these English youngsters.

Meanwhie , Iwobi has nothing more to offer than we already see, Aribo would eventually be benched by real talents like Azeeze , Mikel Agu , Okechukwu , Nwakali etc. You cant come all the way from English and displace our home boys. Stay your English aass in England and play for your country of birth. Our samba like style doesnt fit into the way the English play.

Idenna on this particular day you made a very stupid preposition which is not substantive but highly based on self birthed notions you said aribo will soon be benched by your nwakali
