Vidal is starting because we don't have a choice..

We all remember that he wasn't starting when the season began; when we had options with Arthur, Busquets, De Jong, Roberto and Rakitic.

But now only De Jong and Busi are ahead of him in the pecking order.

Puig has been wonderful. Puig has one more season to mature and gain more experience.
No big time coach will play Puig in a Champions league final or semi final today.

Tell that to Pep who played Foden in a must win Quarters against Real Madrid.

If it's his anointed player, "at the circumstances Tega was playing then"

But if it's other players, "in the here and now, then, they weren't good"

He's just someone who will always twists nd bend a narrative to suit himself. We know this, he knows too. Still does it anyway, and we still engage him too.

That's a 3 man backline. Taribo can't make it.

Yekini over Drogba? That's debatable

Now that you mentioned JJ, I realized the team was intentionally created to disfavor Nigeria.

The aerial duels is still assumptive if taken in context.

How many times do you see Chelsea launching the ball in the air. The ball is predominantly on the ground.

Next context Lille often play the ball in the air over the defenders for Victor Osimhen to run in behind the defenders. It works in French league one, because thier defenders are not as fast as EPL defenders.

If you look at Burnley they score a lot of headers and they win a lot of aerial duels because that's their game plan. How many times will you see city giving aerial balls with theit short forward players. Nonetheless, very short Raheem still scored 20 goals in the EPL.

Of course. To preach your agenda, it doesn't work in the EPL.

And in the next paragraph where you admitted it works, you said "because it's their gameplan"

So, aerial ball is not Lille's gameplay, abi?

It's only Burnley's

That's right.... undecided

I specifically asked about Champions League and League trophy because they are highest trophies in Club football Local and in Europe

maybe you should look up the meaning of bias

Lol, no, you merely handpicked the league which favored your gospel. That's what you did.

UEL is better than finishing second in UCL, no matter how you put it, so, don't cherry pick

They have Zero
Liverpool went for 30years while Sevilla are aiming for 100years

So, Europa League and Super Cup na spoon abi?

When Sevilla was winning b2b2b UEL, the same UEL you're looking down on intentionally. The same UEL Chelsea and United celebrated like they won World Cup.

smh, keep up with the bias.

Europa League is not a trophy, it's just spoon

No, my question is PAOK are to play Besiktas then after Besiktas might sign PAOK striker Akpom.

Why would Akpom deny his future team UCL football? He should be supporting Besiktas not PAOK. His commitment might not be 100%.

Yes, yes, yes.

I understand now. He will play for PAOK against Besiktas, help PAOK qualify for UCL, then deny Besiktas UCL, and maybe UEL.

Then go to Besiktas to play only domestic comps cheesy

Yes, I understand now

Johny Georgopoylos has just reported that Paok will not sell Chuba Akpom before the Champions League game.

Why would he want to deprive his future team of Champions League football?

You mean they?

I don't think PAOK are concerned whether or not Fernabache makes UCL. PAOK themselves are trying to make it.

It's only fair they don't jeopardize their own chance of playing UCL so that their opponent can play UCL.

Can you support your statement about Yoruba and Igbo having more players in the NT than everyone else ?

That was not the focus of the discussion. I used it as a yardstick to explain to him.

I said, it's not about percentage of Yoruba, Hausa or Igbos in the team, it's about representation.

And he was using a scenario where we have 60% of Hausa in the NT. I said, during different periods, different regions are the most I'm numbers. That doesn't matter, not really.

What matters is going to the tournament on merit, say, no Hausa, Igbo, or Yoruba was good enough to make the team. Remember we said merit. It's very much possible if we're being honest, but who would listen to that?

That in a whole region, there's no one good enough to make the national team?

That will be the question

Truth is that we need to get rid of forwards like Suarez, greizmann, coutinho and braithwaite, then use the money to get a top striker and young striker, build our game play around wingers like fati, dembele and trincao who are fast

Except Bayern have a bad day on Friday, I can’t we barce winning this, cus their defender will overlap with little or no worries

If that was so, there would be like 60% Hausa, 20% Igbo and 20% Yoruba...don't u think?

Nope. It's never about the percentage.

It's always about representation.

"we sef get pesin for there"

There was a time Yoruba's were the most in the NT. And there's time Easterners(including south) were the most.

The goal is to make sure each of the 3 region has a player in the starting lineup.

If you have the time, disprove that. Pretty sure you can't.

Call it coincidence if you like, but Shehu has only been in the team to fulfill quota requirements

Counter attack with which players? Baba said fati and puig is too young whilst dembele is just returning from a long layoff

Vidal for counter attack? Mehn you guys never cease to surprise me

The only player that plays counter in the whole Barça team is Dembele. Only him!

Maybe to an extent, Semedo too, but that's debatable.

You see the rest? Once them don pass halfway line, na to start dey hug remain. And then do the usual, back pass.

I wonder why we blame Griezmann for what every player is guilty of

Under Army rule we had much of the same corruption, stealing and favouritism, to say nothing of tribalism.

And the economy was not necessarily in good shape.

Plus, the repression then makes Buhari's repression as a democratic leader look tame.

Buhari in 1984 would have just jailed you for 200 years. Buhari civilian can't do that.

Democratic rule is better than army rule.

In fact, Nzeogwu and company did Nigeria a big disservice by overthrowing the democratic government of that time. Likewise Buhari in 1983. The truth is, if they were dissatisfied with the corruption in power, they would have done better to resign and run for office.

I very much disagree with that. I'm more even disappointed that they were unsuccessful with it.

When you read Nigerian History well enough, you'd appreciate Nzeogwu's idea. Not necessarily how he tried to pull it off, but aborting that democratically elected government which was a sham anyway.

There's a reason military came back again in 1983, because there's still no difference.

The only thing they cared about was enriching themselves, and not about governing

And if you play your way into Rohr's team you have to play your way out

That's why a Turkish division 2 player gets invited to the team, yeah?

Players from division 2 of top 5 leagues are not even looked at, but mighty Shehu paid his dues enough to be making the team.

IMO, it is beyond quota system..

Shehu isn't even primarily a RB..he was moved there due to lack of options in the role.. After we got Aina and Ebuehi,it was only logically for Shehu to be moved back to midfield... But he kept starting ahead of Aina and Ebuehi..
If not for his injury at the AFCON, Aina and Awaziem probably won't have played..

If na quota system,then Musa would be starting every game too...

Thing is, Musa or Shehu has to start(going by the quota analysis). And Musa doesn't always start. That leaves us with Shehu. And that's why he always starts.

Because, let's face it, he's not a RB. He doesn't even play RB at his club, but he kept benching 2 of our RBs

If you watch juventus you will know, they wont be stupid to give him that award

I also saw immobile as seria A best forward

But how come dybala didnt win juventus player of the season since he won that award, its confusing

The same reason Hazard won Madrid best player while Benzema was the league's best player.
