dayokanu:

Which top coach can see Okocha and play him in his team? I cant even play Okocha in any U23 team.

In Atlanta he almost made us lose with his pedestrian play vs Brazil which includes losing a penalty. His specialty were spitting like a snake, chewing gum like a hooker and trying tricks unsuccessfully.

~Sauron~:

I wonder. . . . . .
Sagamite ran to post his compilation on Youtube.
I can bring out Nani's skills on Youtube that surpassed all those nursery Okocha skills.

dayokanu:

On you tube, Denilson looks better than Zidane

~Sauron~:

We saw him play and he was gash in 1994.
One of the reasons Westerhof never really liked him.

dayokanu:

^^ There was a reason top coaches took risks on some players but never touched others
Ferguson would rather gamble with Quiton Fortune that pay 5Naira on Okocha

medjai:

JJ made FIFA's list of 125 living legends of football compiled by Pele. Comparing and even saying the likes of Nomvette and Titi Camara are better than JJ is an insult to football. No be only Titi, na Bola.

~Sauron~:


Playing in a big club is all about luck.
Mikel Obi is one-tenth the player Okocha is and yet he was chased by Mourinho and Ferguson(2 top managers).

Okocha was unfortunate and he didn't help his case as well cos he was too playful.
Football scouts would choose Oliseh, Iroha, Amunke, Amokachi, Yekini, Siasia and Adepoju before Okocha in 1994.

Princek12:

Yes, they are no more fresh because Siasia used them.

Princek12:

Everyone who has knowledge, and who has played competitive football, will know that Yobo is not fit. That's why he is not a regular fixture at Everton. Bottomline, Amodu is incompetent for sticking with the same players knowing they struggled. All he had to do was make minor changes here and there, but no, that lazy buffoon kept using the same players without having them fight for a shirt on the team. That is plain silly.

Sagamite:

What a nonsensical statement.

I wonder what is the point of youth teams then.

Tell me which fresh players Capello or Van Marwijk used then.

Tell me what fresh players Ghana are using.

What clunking rubbish.

Yobo is a regular at Everton and only lost his place briefly because he made some errors.

And Yobo was one of your best players at WC.

Princek12:

The purpose of youth teams is to discover young talent, but not at the expense of other reliable players from the local leagues and foreign leagues who may be off the radar. A good coach will scout for such talents and find them.

Princek12:

Ghana are using many players from their U20 team, but they are blended with fit veterans. Why do we have our local professional leagues? There maybe some talented players who for other reasons could not participate in the youth tournament. Amodu is using unfit veterans when he could have replaced them with new fit players.

Princek12:

Capello  is not using fresh players, so that explains why his team performed marginally well and are out of the competition.

Princek12:

Yobo is an unfit player. You have said it that he lost his place due to some errors, errors associated with an aging defender who is becoming unfit.

Princek12:

And also by losing his starting place he will be invariably unfit for a match, but no, Amodu, like the fool he is, still started him. And Yobo made costly errors before he was benched at Everton.

Hahahahahahaha

ITV don finish YAKUBU. . . . .

James Corden brought his 60 yr-old mum on his show to reconstruct Yakubu's miss against South Korea.
And his mum scored from the same position Yakubu missed. . . . .His mum was wearing Yakubu's jersey too.

If i were Yakubu, i would sue.

I think they are just glamourising the whole thing. I've seen C. Ronaldo and very recently Rooney(in this world cup) spurn similar sitters and it didnt come with these much ruckus. Bad miss, no doubt but I think they are taking it too far

Sagamite:

Your argument is that since they have played in youth teams, they are no more fresh.

Lets stick with your arguments.

You state (in surmisation): To perform well, one needs to use some fresh players. And new players that have played in youth teams are not fresh.

So how come Ghana is performing without "fresh" players.

Do you see where your logic breaks down?

That is the reason? 

So how come Brazil, Argentina and Germany are doing well without "fresh" players?

Sorry how did you come to that conclusion for me? 

I would have thought my OWN analysis is errors due to lack of concentration on the pitch.

And you claim to have played professionally? 

Professional players train well whether in starting lineups or not. They are NOT unfit.

Their touch may be suspect but not fitness.
