is that section not in umunya, true or false? Did I ever say the road has been finished? Hate will consume you ingrates. Is work not going on on that road? Do you still bypass that section to enter the other villages in anambra? Formerly one couldn't go on that straight road from onitsha to awka. You must bypass the umunya section. Now do you bypass that umunya section? Is it not a straight road u take from onitsha to awka. Don't let hate consume you. One very wide lane that can take up to 4 cars or more side by side has been done in umunya. Motorists are comfortably using. Hateful human being. Say the truth and it shall set you free.

Oga,no dey shout don't let hate consume you like a female she goat on heat.You said umunya road section HAS BEEN DONE and I called you out on your bullshit.And no,one section of a road being finished doesnt mean its done.The other part of the road is unmotorable and the one built is not even finished as driver have to still enter the lane that is bad to complete their journey on that road but you are here deceiving the gullible

chukel:
if this is done, that will be great. I'm so proud of this government in terms of infrastructure. Everything said here is true. Umunya section of enugu/onitsha road has been done. Work is going on on the road. I drove from enugu to umuahia and back on Friday and Saturday respectively. It's almost a smooth journey from beginning to the end. They should endeavour to finish up the road. However some sections of the already built roads have started having potholes at the centre of the roads. They should ensure a long lasting legacy. The onitsha to okigwe road passes thru my community Arondizuogu. Work is on going there too. Road was terribly impassable in the past. Story has changed now. They should also ensure quality jobs that will last long. Sadly, igbos are very ungrateful people. Truth be said. We are hateful, spiteful and very ungrateful.

You are a bloody liar.Which Umunya has been done?? Only one section of the road was built and is currently usable and not all part of it has been finished.Stupid fool peddling lies online

Y’all think if MOU had been Manu manager during that era he wouldn’t be winning trophies back to back?
Reason Mou kept complaining about how other clubs were spending talk about buying wing backs and defenders at the price of strikers. It wasn’t cod he wasn’t spending as well but he wasn’t the only spender.

Ferguson wouldn’t survive in this era they’ll drag him, even with his spending power at the time he still needed Webb’s backing to win his trophies.

Some of the comments I read on this side of the forum really exposes a lot of y'all as people who started watching football in 2008,thinking that Messi and Ronaldo are the only two people to ever kick a round leather.

Ferguson won't survive in this era?? Are you saying he won't win trophies in this era or what?? Did you ever watch his teams play?? Do you know how many generation of players that passed under him?? What kind of nonsense do I keep reading as opinions?

I'm 26 now and still counting but no sex yet.

I am glowing in the grace of the Almighty, although the konji use to set in many atimes esp at nights and whenever eyes mistakenly see those plumpy boos, thighs and bum bum.

But guy man gats to maintain and control himself. I must stay VIRGIN for Wiffy.

Sounds to me like lack of play than wanting to remain a virgin.But what do I know

TLona1:
I don't totally agree with this. Football is now more technical than ever. There are now new and better ideas, strategy, tactics and approaches that various club use when it comes to playing on the pitch which will make it a bit difficult for El Fenomeno to thrive in this modern day football.

The new tactics and strategies are not stopping Messi and Ronaldo from banging in 50 goals a season tho especially Ronaldo.Dude is so unique as an example that he doesn't shoot and score from 35 yards anymore,barely scores a free kick this days,can't dribble to save his life again and his style of play has changed so much from what he was known for and he still maintains his momentum and his touch for goals.Ibra still scores for fun and can easily get into any top team even at his age.Dude has over 500 career goals.Aguero is still putting the ball at the back of the net.

Ibra and Aguero though brilliant dont even have the talent that R9 had.For you to be out of world football for months and Brazil considers you worthy to lead their world cup exploits speaks volume of what he would do in this era

IKON360:
This hype train doesn't help o, De Lima was good no doubt but which team did he play in that on their best day can beat this Man city on their day or Liverpool on their day? Football is a team sport not a one man show. C. Ronaldo helped Madrid win 3 UCLs because he had the best service line a striker could ask for, however when those service lines were nullified even Ronaldo became toothless, same thing also happens to Messi and same thing can also to even De Lima

You didn't seriously ask this question. The same Tottenham team that was battered by Bayern kicked out Man City from the champions league last season or is the same Liverpool that got whooped by Barcelona. Man City have been struggling with Laporte and the same Laporte that was a rat in Spain is now a lion in England. What is Laporte going to do against a team of Zidane,Ronaldo,Raul in their hay days??

The Man Cities and Liverpools don't even face decent attackers anymore.. How many teams have the Drogbas,Rooneys and co facing Liverpool and Man City?? We are in an era where dribbling a defender makes news and headlines than how many goals were scored in a game and you think Ronaldo playing in this era is played out??

spillo1:
Lol prime Maradonna and de Lima will piss all over this era.


The Serie A of the 80's and 90's was like watching teeth being pulled unless you were being treated to a proper, top class attacker or forward because the defenses were so good, tactical and cynical, that nothing but the top brass could get any change out of them.

Batistusta, Baggio, Del Piero and so forth had it really hard and it was a genuine acheivement for a lone player to outfox such a collection of mean, hard-nosed defenders who played every game like their life depended on it. Ask kimbeast or any person who watched Seria a then.

That's why when Ronaldo went there and ripped the piss out of the league it caused an absolute uproar. Before he got there all the defenders and football experts were saying he'd not be the same player in Italy as he was in Spain because he wouldn't be allowed to play in the same manner. They were right. He was even better in Italy than he was in Spain because he became a playmaker and link man as well as the goal-scorer, whilst in Spain, it was all about giving Ronaldo the ball and watching him run to goal and convert. Do you research on why Maradonna is called a demi god in Naples.



The likes of Van Basten and Gullit were booted and kicked so frequently in Serie A that it forced early retirement for Van basten who retired 29 and caused Gullit to have countless time out with one injury or another. It was a mean, hard-nosed league. Doing the business there carried more merit than any other league.


The late 80's and 90's Serie A may have had the biggest concentration of imported, world-class talent a league has ever seen. It was the place to be if you wanted to make your mark and sides in Spain and England had to do a lot more AND beat at least a couple of Italian teams to be taken seriously.
When United beat Juventus of the mid 90's, who were seen as the best side in the world, it catapulted us to a completely new level of world renown and global recognition as a footballing force. It announced us as big time player again.

If the likes of Shearer and Bergkamp had done what they did in Italy rather than England at that time they'd be held in much higher regard now than just good players.


Ronaldo going there and shaking that league to the core was like something out of a science fiction flick. Maradonna at Napoli also. Before and after Maradonna Napoli are shitts. If you think these O.G's won't rip apart this silly era I nothing to say to you.

This was much better than that talent debate. I completely agree with you on this.

Problem with football this days is with the advent of social media,most football fans all tend to now see players like Maradona,De Lima on youtube instead of TV.Again,general evolution of the game and most importantly,the Overbloated transfer market is the reason football quality has greatly reduced

Fools now think VVD is the greatest EPL defender of all time when Vidic of just about 10 years ago was tearing EPL apart and not much noise was made about it.Anybody with recent memory will know VVD has not put in a single match, the performance Vidic put at the champions league final at Moscow against Drogba.Imagine VVD winning motm against toothless bulldogs like Tottenham against Vidic against Drogba and Chelsea that were UCL battle hardened?? Most people hyping today's football don't even know Vidic has been EPL player of the season twice against a much harder league teams like Chelsea,Liverpool.

Again if De Lima was in today's era,he would be unstoppable. C.Ronaldo hasn't scored any decent free kicks in a while and still maintains his numbers.In fact his style of play has greatly reduced from what he did at manchester United to what he does now.He's not even a pure forward and still bangs tons of goals.Imagine what prime Ronaldo would've been doing right now.Who is stopping him?? De Ligt?? Pique?? VVD?? Who?? An average Laporte is leaving Man City shitting in their pants.What is he going to do against De Lima?? Prime Torres was toiling a seasoned defender like Vidic,what then will Ronaldo do to him??

spillo1:
What fallacy am I reading with my eyes. Bros are you ok? Did you watch De Lima ronaldo at all? You can't even place Messi and Maradonna in the same sentence when it comes to talent and WTF.... Ronaldinho more talented than De Lima for feck sakes how old are you? De Lima and Maradonna are god tiers better stop it.

Ronaldo may have had it all in terms of what was needed from a no 9 but to say Messi and Maradona talent wise don't come close to R9 is being flat out ignorant.What does he have they don't have?? Apart from heading due to limitations in height,what else?? Dribbling,explosive power,touch in front of goal,Ability to score free kicks. They all do this things as no tens,can operate and easily adapt to multiple roles in the team.

We don't have to hate one to love another.

Someone told you CAF has not paid AFCON participants for 3 months, your response is that you don't follow the politics and how the finances are dished out, yet you want to keep writing senseless epistle on what another man should do with his career


[img]https://media./images/1e0ffb8413d3a178a8fb779199f4169e/tenor.gif[/img]

So using the same logic,nobody should play for Nigeria cause we all know how it goes down here with wages and bonuses over here. Haven't I been saying that NFF and their cronies are a downside if he ever picked Nigeria over England.

Who is now to shut up??

A40:
It took CAF over 3 months to cough out AFCON funds. Is that the tournament you want Tammy to come and die on top?

Even if he is not making bench shouldn't his past services for Nigeria get him a look in? Why can't they play him so another club would see his talent and be willing to take him away from Leicester? After all international football is rife with players who barely get playing time from their clubs. Why did we dump the likes of Utaka and co quickly when they had trouble

I don't pay attention to Afcon politics and whatever they do there.if we are to look at football politics,then football won't even be played at all as fifa is a primary problem of the game. What concerns me as a fan is what is done on the field.Nothing more

What do you want NFF to do for him?? Play him ahead of players that make bench at their various clubs?? Won't we all be calling for the head of Rohr if he does so??

Talking as if Nigeria is the only country that dumps players.England won't even remember you can sing their national anthem if you are not performing.If those that perform at their clubs don't even play na you wey no dey play.Dele Alli has dipped in form,where is he today?? Wasn't he playing against Belgium about a year ago at Russia?? Iwobi one of the worst players of Epl that was brought in and removed in the same match this season,wasn't he the one playing rubbish against Brazil?? Who benched him?? You think if he was playing for England,Southgate will remember where he kept his number??lol

A40:
You do realize Chelsea and Southgate could have had an understanding not to play Tammy as he's their only decent striker right now right?

Even if he fails to crack the National team the likes of Anichebe, Iheanacho and co what was their gain at last?

Not in a case of them losing.Bulgaria were never a challenge to them to begin with but

Iheanancho that doesn't even make bench for Leceister again and Anichebe that could be argued slowly faded away from football.If Iheanacho picks himself up from whatever that's affecting him and at least does something significant at club level,he's coming back and retaining his shirt at Super Eagles

raumdeuter:
Football is a means of livelihood for players and they need all the money they can get. So why would anyone make a decision that might mean less money for them

Would it be better for Fabinho to play for Angola since he cannot get into Brazils team?

He may not make as much with Nigeria as with England, but he will still see money here.Am not talking NFF tho. Am talking strictly of his football career in terms of what happens on the field which is what I care about

Well if Angola has a good team that can readily compete for the continental title and put him on the pedestal as an African great,then he's better off here.

raumdeuter:
Actually winning AFCON is more useless than other trophies, AFCON that players deliberately excuse themseves from playing. I have told you of Matip and KPB who retired when they were told to come play AFCON

Zambia won the AFCON in 2012, mention 1 player from their entire team that is better rated than Raheem Sterling who has won 0 titles. Sterling is too much, Any of those Zambian players rated close to Tammy Abraham currently. You think anyone outside Africa regards AFCON more than an unnecessary distraction like the Asian Cup

Copa America is way better than AFCON because South America is a better footballing continent than Africa. Many clubs scout from Copa America, Many talents play in Copa America

I can watch Copa America to see Messi, Neymar Aguero James, Vidal Alexis, Suarez

Last world cup how many South American teams made it out of their groups and how many African teams made it? Dont stop at last wont world cup, go back as far back as you can

Its better to play with Brazil Argentina Chile Colombia Uruguay than to be laying Zambia Burundi Nigeria and Egypt

A competition where semi finalists are determined before the first ball is kicked is more useful than a competition that can spring up surprises.lol. Might as well go watch some San Marino Belgium or something.What is considered the overall quality starts with 2 or 3 teams and then it all ends there.The only reason people pay attention to copa America is because of Brazil and Argentina which 1 is more likely going tonwin between the two. Might as well bring out the trophy every 2 or 4 years and just tell those four teams to play to determine who wins it

Zambia winning the Afcon was less predictable and entertaining than Brazil winning the copa america at their back yard.Zambia put in more work than Brazil.The copa america is considered a thing because of the names of the players that play in it.Nothing more

African football is piss poor but acting like overall quality of South American football is the best thing to ever happen is funny.

raumdeuter:
Playing for Italy and Playing for Argentina holds no significant difference in finances and exposure

Playing for Nigeria vs Playing for England is significantly different

With Xavi and Iniesta playing David Silva still played, Would David Silvas career have been better if he chose to play for Venezuela instead

Fabinho is behind Casemiro in ranking for Brazil, should he have gone to play for Angola instead? So that he will get a chance to play AFCON and become an Angolan legend

Nobody is talking about finances.He simply would play for Italy more than Argentina. The only significant difference is clout and probably more money. But Nike and their likes will offer him more money cause of his exploys with Chelsea than what he does in England cause he's significantly unknown in the national team

He played due to Spain's system of going for a man striker.But if he slept and thought that Del Bosque would keep Xavi or iniesta on the bench for him for any reason then he must be really foolish.Matches where Villa and Torres played,where was he??

And who knows Fabinho in Brazil.Can't even remember that last time I saw him in their shirt

raumdeuter:
Some opportunities on the field are total waste of time like AFCON qualifiers and AFCON itself. If most players have a choice they will rather avoid it. England played Bulgaria see the amount of people with financial power who watched it. When Nigeria is playing Burundi for the AFCON qualifiers how many people like that will watch? The match might even be played on a substandard field

If these players you mentioned were to be Europeans pray tell how much more they will have

Zidane is an Algerian like Rabah Madjer, Dessailly is a Ghanain like Tony Bafoe, Pogba is a Guinean like Titi Camara,
If Zidane had chosen Algeria do you think he will be at this level? or Dessaily chosen Ghana

You keep on saying Afcon is useless but winning it is still better than having 0 international career trophies.Messi has 0 international trophies despite copa America being more uselss than afcon.A competition they have to hand over invites for other countries in other continets to come and join them in playing due to shortage of teams.Only Argentina, Colombia and Brazil are decent there.Add Chile and you have an already set up semi final even before the competition even began.Still its a silverware that have escaped Messi which he may never win.


I can also call a couple of African players that would've been crazy players for European countries.It really goes both ways

raumdeuter:
Italy and Argentina are peers in football in terms of exposure ranking and everything, Nigeria is not mates with England in football.

England to Nigeria is like Argentina to Ukraine which is what is analogous to Tammy leaving England for Nigeria

Some players dont even want to play in AFCON cos its a bloody waste of time. Do you think Kante regrets not playing for Mali? or Pogba regrets not playing for Guinea? How are his brothers who chose Guinea faring

Does Amazon employ Software engineers as gatemen?
Gabriel Jesus is a backup striker for Brazil, Ask him if he will rather go play for New Zealand so he can be an Oceania football legend?

Juninho Pernambucano was a backup for most of his National team career, Would he have been better if he decided to play for Venezuela or Costa Rica

It has nothing to do with tier level of both countries.If he considered strictly how his internatonal would be,he would play for Italy. If he thought that maybe he doesn't care about those and really cares about just representing his country,then Argentina to the rescue.But if he thought him choosing Argentina was kicking the ball with Messi around,them I would like to have those drugs he had

When the news came out of Tammy and Tomori call up,I said Tomori will benefit from it cause England have been looking for a partner for Maguire.So far as he continues playing well,he will cement his place in the team.Trying to compare Kante and Pogba's situations of playing either for their African countries or France don't relate cause they will play for France irrespective of anything.There are no Xavi and Iniesta there.The positons they both play is an open one

Them no born you well to say you were signing for Barcelona as a midfileder during the days of Xavi and Iniesta.Prime Alex Song was relegated by Busquet.What happened to Fabregas at Barca?? Pirlo would've been cleaning the entire bench despite how good he was during the time of prime Xavi.

There are positions you can walk into in any team and compete.If Tammy was a midfielder,winger he would play. If he was a defender,he will play.But to say he's walking into England to play as a CF when Harry Kane is hale and hearty is simply being delusional

Brazil doesn't have a decent striker.Firmino is no Ronaldo.Hes good in link up play but hat is it.Jesus has chances of playing especially when it comes to scoring goal and he plays for the team.If I had option as a striker to play for either Brazil or Nigeria I will go for Brazil.Because I know if I can perform at least one quarter of Ronaldo,I will be in their starting eleven

[quote author=Ibime post=83142717]

You are the same one that will label Tammy as Victor Agali the minute he plays rubbish for Naija and call for Osimhen to replace him

This makes no sense at all.So because he plays for Nigeria,if he plays rubbish I should clap for him.So because Ighalo was Afcon highest goal scorer,when he failed to square up the ball to Ahmed Musa I should have called to congratulate him.smh

Let's be honest, Tammy is a very vertical striker like Lewandowski and co. Nigerians may not take to him like they didn't take to Efan Ekoku. They may prefer more fluid strikers. Allow the boy bide his time with England.

Let's not act like that boy will not be liked and given play time here.Iwobi who is probably the most average and overrated player i have ever seen that should be playing for Norwich is a starter here.Playing for this country won't have been an issue

The likes of Andy Cole, Ian Wright and co who rode bench for England are more successful and renowned than SiaSia, Amokachi, Yekini who started for Nigeria. They have so many media opportunities now compared to SiaSia and Amokachi who are looking for where to eat

Am talking about football on the field.Not what one does outside of it.So there are no African players that are eating well and have media opportunities. Drogba,Okcha,Eto'o and a host of others?? So Andy Cole,Ian Wright had more successful careers than Drogba or Yaya Toure?? Lol

raumdeuter:
So if Dybala had chosen Greece instead of Ukraine how would he have been better for it. What is AFCON? The same AFCON some players will plead injury or excuse themselves from to focus on their club. Is playing for Nigeria a guarantee that eh would win AFCON? We have only won 3 times. So its not like we win every time

We won in 1994 and 2013, That is almost a 20yr gap,, 2 generations of players played for Ngeria and didnt smell the AFCON. Kanu our greatest player ever did not win the AFCON

England has as much chances of winning the next Euro as Nigeria has of winning the next AFCON. I dont know which player will rather win AFCON over Euros

How does the guaranteed shirt in Nigeria benefit him? You have a chance of working with Amazon as a Software Engineer, why will you prefer Konga ?

Your Dybala scenario doesn't make sense. Am just saying,there are players you just can't displace from their position. If Dybala was offered to play for Italy and thought that for some strange reason he would displace Messi at Argentina or if he maintained his form he will play knowing fully well he can't play any other position for Argentina if not for that No 10 postion,then he would've been really dreaming.Same thing with Tammy.If he is comfortable playing behind Kane then its all good.But if he ever went with England other than Nigeria with the hope of playing then he's fvcked.

Not saying he will win it with Nigeria. But he has higher chances winning Afcon than Euro especially since he's was going to be a big boost to the squad.He will contribute more to Nigeria than England which boosts his chances of winning the title.For example,Ighalo's goals took the team to the SF of this years edition. Now if he reaches his potentials,he will be better than Ighalo and that's potential extra goals to win the trophy

Guaranteed shirts means he could write his name as an African great,African player of the year.He will be a lion here rather than mouse there.Overall positive outlook for his career.And please its better to be a CEO of Konga than gate man at Amazon.That's exactly what's been played out here

raumdeuter:
He is a top 9 just like Kane and will be Kanes backup
Being backup to Kane is not the worst thing in the world. Many strikers in the world with more experience will sit on the bench for Kane. So what is the big deal with Tammy sitting for Kane?

If he is not in form he will be dropped whether he chose England or Nigeria. So why should he pick a country where he probably doesn't understand their language and has barely been to?

If he drops form Nigeria will also drop him like we dropped Iheanacho

How has being backup for Messi worked out for Dybala?? Dude barely has an international career despite the things he has done in his club career. What's the point of playing well as a striker only to see the bench hoping Kane gets injured or whatever to be able to see game time when you can be a continental king down here contending for Afcon,African player of the year etc.In terms of football played on the field you are better off here than there.England will win games but you are not playing.Chances of winning any trophy with them is almost non existent. More chances of achieving with Nigeria than England.Only problem is NFF and all the bs that comes with them.

You can't even compare him to Iheanacho.Dude is not even making Leceister first team anymore.A drop in form for a player means just that spell things are not going well.Not a scenario you don't score for more than a year and not making bench anymore.If Tammy was in a situation things were not stable,he will still play for Nigeria. The shirt is almost guaranteed for him

raumdeuter:
Tammy has a different style of play to Wilson and offers something different which is height and physicality. So it is a bad thing to bring a different type of striker on when you need a goal and everything you are doing till now hasnt produced goals

If Tammy maintains his form he will get his chances, Just like Sterling and co

Tammy is one of the newest members of the English team and you expect him to walk into the starting eleven just like that? Those on the bench are they not footballers too

Except you forget Tammy is a pure 9,not a player you can play on the wings.England will not play a 4-4-2 with him and Kane up front when they have truck load of wingers.Rashford plays well in England so where is he getting that shirt from.He will never bench Kane no matter how good he gets unless England goes for a total rebuilding. Kane as it is right now is a leader on the field for England and is playing well and scoring goals for the team.

Football at times is not a matter of form.If Southgate leaves tomorrow, a new coach may drop Trippier for TAA but it will be extremely hard to drop Kane for anybody.Displacing Kane is like Dybala saying he's displacing Messi from Argentina.Even though both play the same position,Its not going to be possible until Messi hangs his boots for Argentina.Same with Kane

raumdeuter:
Last match when they brought Tammy in as a sub, you complained, Today they didnt bring him as a sub you still complained

TAA one of the most in form player is on the bench, In football you have to sit on the bench some times

If Tammy continues to be in form, he will get his chance than to come play for a country he knows nothing about

TAA has never been fancied by Southgate despite being good for Liverpool for at least 2 seasons now.And I said Tammy will only be good when England are losing.You think if England were losing this match,Wilson be brought in ahead of him??

A40, Bulgaria 0 - England 5, subs are Wilson,Mount and Sancho. No Tammy despite being 5 nil up.lol

Prompto:
No peace for the wicked as this lunatic truncated the democracy n regionalism that fuel the growth of Nigeria to become giant of Africa so must his entire lineage be truncated one by one.

It's in Nigeria that clubbing = a sin. Overly religious people who do not even keep the high standards they set for others.

Nigerians are so shallow minded and believe they are better than others because others don't do what they do.What kind of foolish question is who goes to club on a Sunday? So everybody is a Christian or a govt worker that must only go to church on Sunday or must sleep to go to work on Monday?? You are free to go to shoprite and their likes on Sunday but anybody clubbing that day is foolish and sinful. What kind of moronic thinking is that

Low is a funny man.How do you tell your defenders in Hummels and Boateng that you don't need them in the national team when you don't even have a replacement for them.Playing Emre Can as a CB and dude got a red card .lol

Reference:
Game over. Rohr cost us a better result. A win was indeed possible. The attack was bright, the defence solid but the midfield was a complete sham. We need to develop a natural 10 that will hold and create. Ndidi was far overworked today.

Wirh Rohr we will continue to be a 'nearly' team in tournaments. His game reading skills are questionable and his tactical responses are mediocre. He can be made technical manager of our teams because he's done well in attracting and unearthing new talent but his match day work is...

Our midfield is shiiit cause when the opponent has the ball,we shift to a 4-5-1 set up.We dont pressurize and this leaves us open to creative players that can play the ball behind the midfield. I think our attack has been reformed a little bit and defensively we are solid even though a lot of work can be done


3 key areas we must work on

Arieal balls - We concede a lot from crosses and dead balls.Our players were completely ball watching for that goal

Midfield - Ndidi is fantastic but nobody is complementing him. Hes always exposed

Tactics - We need to push our wide players out when teams have the ball and we are winning.We cant be winning and allow players all the time in the world to make those passes behind our midfield.Rohr has brought us so far,but i think its time we took that important step forward.We have been in the same position for a while now and that step is needed if we are to really compete

Is it that we dont learn anything from our friendly games or what?? Our problems has been arieal balls.We concede a lot from those.From England to Argentina to this.Why cant the coach work on those?? And whats with this 4-5-1 defensive shape the coach employs when the opposition has the ball?? This leaves us at the mercy of highly creative players.This was how we surrendered a 2 goal lead against Ukraine.

Its really tough watching us do the same mistake over and over again.smh

Perhaps, but he is even playing below average in this game.

Mind you, he always has a moment of magic in him.

Marco Silva subbed him on and off in the same game few weeks ago.1 year ago he wasn't even in starting 11 at the WC.He just had a decent spell and that was it

Iamgrey5:
Iwobi has lost confidence

He no longer believes in his own abilities

He is like Ozil that feeds off the faith his coaches have in him.

I don't think the Everton coach have any faith in Iwobi

He didn't lose anything.Everton exposed his ability as a player.He has always been bang average

[quote author=A40 post=83087718]Endorsements, negotiation clout. Besides playing for Nigeria does not guarantee he wins anything either. Up till 2013 Nigeria had not won a spoon in 19 years!

!

Iwobi is a bang average player that still gets endorsements because he's a Nigerian.Pepsi,dstv etc all gave him money when dude could barely score a goal.Nationality doesnt affect negotiation clout.If you can put the ball at the back of the net,you can demand more money.Again,I cant even remember the last time England won anything.Not that he may win anything with Nigeria anyway but the chances here are bigger than Englandl

No shame in being unable to displace Harry Kane. No out and out #9 not named Robert Lewandowski can do so in today's football.

How does he have the clout to negotiate when he's a bench warmer for England?? And Harry Kane is no Messi,Neymar or Ronaldo that should play irrespective of form.He's world class but doesn't mean he's kept on the pitch when hes not delivering especially if a striker that can score is on the bench.

Football is a form based business. In these streets you're only as good as your last transaction. If Löw could evict World Champions like Boateng, Müller and Hummels then I don't see why Abraham should not get dropped if he loses form.

Tammy is in the form of his life right now and Harry Kane that most of his goals have been penalties so far and hasn't really been playing well played ahead of him.Well,it might be too early to judge but Tammy had no business coming on the time he came on at least considering the form he's in right now and state of the match at 1 - 1.You cannot be banging in goals as he is right now and the manager considers you only worthy when they are chasing the game

Unless he's going to be a Drogba and maintain that form and keep that goal in coming, then he may stand a chance.In 2 years time another guy will pop up.What then happens then if he loses fitness,form or his touch in front of goal??

Those players you mentioned have clearly passed their prime and Low is even planning on dropping Neuer.Its only natural that players irrespective of their previous achievements if not delivering are replaced.They are now rebuilding the team

He might not care for an AFCON title. I'm sure he considered these things before switching to England

But he considers Euro and World Cup?? He's playing career already has 0 international titles.This is guaranteed because if he thinks he has more chances of winning either of the two ahead of Afcon,then he's dreaming

Ahmed Musa and Kenneth Omeruo are not getting dropped but how is it helping their club career? Leon Balogun nko? Why are you guys advocating for mediocrity

Why you dey talk like this?? You want to compare a potential world best striker's career to average players. Who said anything about his international career affecting his club career. Club and international careers are two parallel lines.That you are playing well for one doesn't mean it helps the other.Nobody is advocating for any mediocrity. Just talking from a football perspective,nothing more

One thing I know is Tammy Abraham will not ball and not get picked. You on the other hand are hedging for anticipated mediocre performances and loss of form. Who is to say he can't be the next Harry Kane for England? If he is good enough he would make it in England as well

He will get picked quite all right but will that be ahead of Kane that is the question especially if continues to score and improve as a player.And no am not hedging for anything.I already predicted before when he was called up that he would be thrown into games England are losing.He will only start against teams like San Marino and their likes.England will not go for a two striker system with him and Kane.Unless England will decide to go for a total rebuilding, am afraid this guy has no chance.

Again on the whole hedging for his loss of form,I said that if Tomori sustains what he has,he already has cemented his place in England as they are looking for a partner for Maguire and he looks like a perfect fit for that position.He will see more playing time and I doubt anybody will displace him for that position.It is just what it is
