Lots of average players in there. The likes of rashford, Bruno fernandes, etc. Average average average players. I will not watch their matches in a long time because they don't deserve two hours of my time. I feel sorry for ten hag. A good manager, but the players are not technical enough to execute his style of play.

Same lineup as GW1. Your guy is stubborn

Jodera:
I no dey see Ben White name oo

Lana1:
You misread my post there. The 2nd part you highlighted was directed at Lauren James. I have seen folks talk about how she is better than most male footballers which is not true. No matter how good she is playing against women, it wont end well if they put her up against men. Na our sisters from Enugu pocket am the other day. How will she now fare against the likes of Rodri or Rice.

As for Sarina Wiegman her credentials speak for her. If they gave her say France or Germany, she will beat Southgate for sure. But will she reach back to back world cup finals with back to back Euro wins with this same England team is the question..

Kantebets:
what do u think will happen if she faces a top male coach like Pep

Lana1:
I'm not writing her off coaching a men's team. Intellect or not, the requirements will be very differnt coaching men compared to women. Plus she has been flogging mid male coaches coaching mid female teams.

Lana1:
You wan dey compare men and womens football? Because she is winning on the womens stage doesn't mean she will do the same with the mens team.

This is similar to those ones that keep comparing that Reece James sister to the men. No matter how good she is, she wont measure up to the average man. Na only her fellow women she fit dey flex for

BlueRayDick:
I actually like him based on his track records. He's one of the few Buhari appointees ice never had any reason to criticise.

Just like u mentioned, I just feel the photo-op is misguided and he was ill-advised.. As iamoyindamola mentioned it won't even take time before nairamarley pose with marijuana or make another song about drugs.

BlueRayDick:
I used to think that Marwa was a serious guy.

How does snapping picture with a well known drug abuser help in the war against drug abuse?.....Except he wants to tell us nairamarley has gone to Rehab and has turned new leaf.

BlueRayDick:
Digging deep 🤣

Leaving the room with the lady evangelists phone in his plain site was His albatross. I'm sure if they hadn't found her phone it will be difficult to trace her demise to him.

He would've even gone to the lady's family to commiserate with them when they break news of her demise in church

ACL is six months to heal and one month for fitness.

Not confirmed though. I still have fault hopes that it's not ACL

The Bishop get mind o. His sex partner died a night before during a sexxx romp and he proceeded to leave the congregation in service next day like nothing happened. 😲

Ellexy:
Optics and nothing more.

DontBullshitMe:
You have too high expectations for an incompetent organisation.

CrystalTiger:
Abeg go find better dirty gutter go sit down abeg

raumdeuter:
Nowadays teams are more efficient and they've realized that dribbles is not an efficient method of progressing the ball

As a youth player who grew in an academy, dribbles will likely be coached out of you unless you add productivity to it otherwise your career will be like Okocha Hazard Zaha and St Maximin

lordfalcao:
Cole palmer is a baller

afrodoc2:
That Cole Palmer na youth team terrorist. It would be interesting to see how he does in the first team.

Ibime:
I strongly disagree. Defenders are no longer mumu. All of them have seen those skills a million times and many of them can do those skills. This is not the days when every team played in a silo and you'll be seeing some skills for the first time when you meet the opposition

There are much more dribble types than before and players are all exposed to them. Even on amateur level, there are far more dribbles and dribbling styles than when I was playing actively. The amateurs of these days can twist blood out of some of the pros of those days because those pros won't have seen those skills. Go to any power league or YouTube amateur channel and see what I'm saying

MorataFC:
You just stated the reason why this modern football has more quality compared to the oldie, now we have computerised training, we have keepers trainer, fitness trainer, nutritionist, physiotherapist etc, and a lot of training materials. I listened to Segun Odegbami many years ago and he said if I had the opportunity to have been trained with the training facility the current players are having now, he said 'I would have been a better player'.

Enzo5:
intelligent write up but still doesn't stop creativity. Tactics are supposed to bring out the best in the team.

Hazard didn't stop being Hazard because he played for Mourinho neither did Ronaldo. I don't think tactics can completely change a player who has flair and creativity, it may hamper them like Ziyech but a good coach uses tactics to his team's strengths and not to hinder it. Pep didn't hinder Robben dribbling, nor KDB playing dead balls with how strict he is.

I would say the more prevalent press tactics has called for more players with work ethic than with flair, but player like Kvara, Leao still exist and thrive. It's just more difficult with opposing teams being more organised with zonal marking and new defensive structures than they used to be 20yrs ago.

Ibime:
The biggest change from the 80s is two more players in the defensive block (7 as opposed to 5) and each player covers 5km more than those days so space is at a premium. Players can still dribble and even better than before, but the space to dribble no dey again

Enzo5:
how can tactics neutralise both team and individual creativity? You're saying tactics nullify creativity?

COAS IN FORWARD OPERATING BASE ERENA, NIGER STATE MOTIVATING TROOPS AFTER ENCOUNTER

Following troops' encounter with insurgents in Zungeru general area of Niger state, in which gallant troops of the Nigerian Army paid the supreme price in defence of our dear country, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Nigerian Army, Lt Gen Taoreed Lagbaja arrived Mina, Niger state capital, late night Tuesday 15 August 2023 and today, immediately moved to Forward Operating Base Erena in Shiroro LGA of Niger state, where he was briefed on the current security situation by the General Officer Commanding 1 Division, Maj Gen Bamidele Alabi.

Addressing the troops soon after the brief, the COAS urged them to rally together and be more resolute in bringing the nation's adversaries to their knees and restore sanity in troubled areas. He maintained that the fight against insurgents and bandits is a just cause, in defence of Nigerians and the nation. According to the Army Chief, "Protecting lives and defending your nation are the noblest service anyone can offer. You are therefore in the noble profession of arms and must not allow your morale to dwindle. We must defeat the adversaries of our people and take back every inch of space where they are hibernating in our land", he added.

Gen Lagbaja assured the troops that he will do all within available resources to give Nigerian Army personnel and their families the best in terms of welfare. He disclosed, that this is topmost in the pillars of his Command Philosophy. He directed the immediate reinforcement of the troops with additional combat enablers to enhance their operational effectiveness.

This is not unpopular na!

As the money in the game increases, the quality really reduced. Moreover, more teams becoming system-based teams contributes largely to it.

Now, there are more boring matches compared to matches say 10-15years ago. Even two big teams produces boring matches presently compared to before. If you no take time, you fit sleep

TeslaFC:
Hope he’s training sha. Because this attack is simply not it.
