TheSuperNerd: I am surprised you didn't even throw the name Nwakali at him as a strong possible for that role in the near future based on his very strong recent showings as CM for Alcocorn.
I just hope Huesca survives the drop and Nwakali rejoins them in the La liga, then, I will be taking another good look at him for that position.
charlesemeka85: the only European club that hv made contact with his management team for now is ac Milan but nothing tangible yet. Other offers re from China and the UAE which he rejected
Lyon has made contact. In fact, he was supposed to join Lyon in the winter but his camp (management team) had to call it off, as they preferred a move in the summer to moving midway into the season
charlesemeka85: lack of an enforcer is the biggest problem we have currently in the present super eagles team. Aribo have not really done that job well even of late I will even see him deployed as a 10 because of his eye for goal and dribling ability
If can lay our hands on an energic enforcer as ac Milan Kessie or bennacer we are good to good
Even the incoming ejaria to me he is featherweight for the rigors of that position
I just can't wait for one to erupt from no where
You sabi ball, but if we had a better coach to tinker the team, we could make good use of our strength(forward) to achieve good results. No one has it all, after all
mank1234: Would you say that Ghana that almost reached semifinal in 2010 had so much depth? It's the mentality of the team. The Ghanaian team is the team that won u20 that year and yet we're not called young team as our coach would.
We are so poor in the midfield to achieve that fit as Ghana did in 2010. If we had a power playing enforcer like Bennacer to partner Ndidi, with a good AM, then we can be looking at pushing teams. We have the forwards but our midfield and defense are bad
charlesemeka85: i mentioned Egypt and Tunisia because when it comes to African they re power houses that no team should undermine
The Tunisian hv less quality player wise but boast of compactness and understanding which hv made them one of the most underrated but feared teams from the northern part of the continent while half of the Egyptian team is from AL ahly which gives them the nod ahead of others with regards to understanding and bond
Not arguing the fact that they seem to have compact teams, reason I said you made good points regardless, but below is the point or notion I wanted to correct.
The above mention teams hv good players littered all over top leagues in Europe like us so we shouldn't expect such achievement to be an easy one as many here think
charlesemeka85: To me even winning the afcon won't be an easy feat. We have to overcome the likes of Senegal, civ, ghana, Egypt, Algeria, morocco, Tunisia and even Mali to achieve that
The above mention teams hv good players littered all over top leagues in Europe like us so we shouldn't expect such achievement to be an easy one as many here think
We need to set pride and past glory aside and embrace facts n reality
I am not saying we aren't good enough to win the trophy next year but it won't be a walk in the park
No Emmy you ain't totally right though you made good points. Egypt, Ghana and Tunisia do not have good players scattered all over Europe, but you were right to have mentioned Ghana as a threat because they are our perennial rivals.
First Era: - Yakubu, Martins, Utaka, Osaze and Ike Uche
Second Era: - Osimhen, Iheanacho, Onuachu, Simmy and Sadiq
Notabien: Judgement should be based on how the two eras kicked off, put it into considerations the different abilities of each players in the respective eras in the eagles, and the quality of clubs they started off with
TheSuperNerd: A shame they didn't give it as an assist. But that's an assist in my book. Onuachu is obviously one of the most influential players in all of Genk's attacking plays this season. Seen enough of his other games and then some others via highlights to reach this conclusion.
IDENNAA: I am not feeling this Aribo guy ,one bit. I still prefer Mikel Agu , the U17 boy that played against Algeria and Onyeka.
I don't rate Aribo but please don't you mention those plumbers here again. Which one be Mikel Agu and Frank Onyeka again? Are we going up or going down?
IDENNAA: I strongly believe we have a superior pool of talent in Nigeria than England. Otherwise , give me an example of an English born Nigerian that has ever wowed you in green white green. These boys need us more than we need them.
My brother, were you here last Month when I dropped this post below, and these people came for my head?
ChrisKels: I don't get moved by these foreign born or bred players no more, none of them has ever turned out an exceptional player, for either Nigeria or any of their adopted countries. Our best players have always been the ones we produced down here in Nigeria.
Funny enough, the only exceptions to me have been the ones we turned down - Alaba and Emmanuel Adebayo, and none of those who turned us down for their adopted European countries have come an inch close to these two.
I thought that first goal was an Onuachu assist. We tend to overlook his assists and involvements in other goals scored by his team mates, for the simple reason that he scores with reckless abandon
superbloke: I remember when it was fashionable to berate Iheanacho and predict his doom when any new player features for Leicester. Slimani, Okazaki, even Demaray Gray were supposed to send him packing from Leicester. Someone was saying even championship teams would not want him because he's a failure when he wasn't getting game time but was making excuses for an English born player who was in the same predicament.
The guy is now in better form than almighty Vardy at the moment. Omo, Never write anyone off o.
List is incomplete without the mention of Fousenni Diabate
12large1: Rohr did the same in 2018 don't let hate distract you from the truth
Hate? What has my lack of confidence in the coach got to do with hate? Dude why do you like sounding like a kid? Two pages back, I disagreed with you on Masuaku and Zaidu, and all you could come up with, was "nkita lacha anybody that puts Masuaku ahead of Zaidu anya". How old are you really?
seankafor: It's about time bardy takes a break, dudes been scoring blanks in 9 games..no goals
Maybe it's time to try Nacho/Madison. But will Rogers have the balls?
Oshimen really has eagles eye on goal and I love the way he shoots at goal at every opportunity.. maybe he has leanrt to be selfish too.. maybe selfishness is what gattuso teaches them in training.
Napoli will go for champions League same as Leicester. Our strikers are repping us in Europe.. simmy and olayinka not forgetting onauchu..
When is the next international break please .. can't wait no more
Vardy's lack of goals is the reason Nacho is enjoying this great run of form. If you break the combo to push Nacho upfront, you would end up making Nacho suffer another drought. Madison and Nacho is a no no, I would rather play Baines in Vardy's place while Nacho maintains his SS position
12large1: Yes, he did. Remember that he inherited a dead team that failed to qualify for 2 successive nations cup and surprisingly defeated Algeria (1) at that time cameroun (defending champion) to qualify for world cup. Although, the man is now stagnant but let's give credit for him rejuvenating us in 2016. Oliseh and keshi (latter stages) failed with the same exact players that Rohr excelled with in 2016
Rejuvenation is what Tuchel is doing now, producing results with same team Lampard failed with. Rohr is rather lucky to have these quality players springing up in his era, he wouldn't have done nothing with the same quality of players Keshi and Oliseh had
12large1: Omo let's give that coach some credit he tried in rejuvenating a dead Se from the hands of oliseh and big boss (rip) he just needs a good tactician next to him
He didn't rejuvenate anything, he wouldn't rejuvenate nothing if these players didn't spring up. His predecessors never had these array of stars to choose from, yet Keshi performed even with a limited workforce
Lucque: God don finally do am....its finally our turn to have players playing week in week out....our strikerssss...scoring every single matchday....just take a moment to enjoy it..instead of quarreling everyday...can't we just have a day to just be �
