Chukwueze is a threat today sha. Although not the best I've seen him play. Hit the post with a rocket volley, then made the run for the second goal, and gave the pass that caused the third goal.

I wish he could give this kind of performances everyday. His problem is inconsistency.

Where is he playing?

mostob:
Omo, if we arrange starting lineup among the guys on this thread, we nor fit bad reach this Granada. How they take reach quarter final, na only God fit understand.

Just give me the CM position or the LB position, then work done finish. Give thegoodjoe the coaching job, but please don't play CharlesEmeka, him go score owngoals tire. Keep thesupernerd away from the team, he can help as the commentator. Do not inform forgiveness and idenna of the match, we can't do with some balotelies in the team. Finally make icon4s the tech director while Andrew44 pairs Komokn in center back. Based on home based quota, consider Bascovanveli

andrewbaba44:
He Dey use brain nah

You no say James Get pace/speed pass am

Well, that's not entirely true, because James isn't faster than him, but he is definitely more physically imposing and stronger than him(Zaidu)

andrewbaba44:
Lol

They said he was running away from James and I talk say ball Na brain

If Reece names use power for am now go score we go blame am for the goal

Only Jorginho was rated ahead of him in the whole Chelsea team

Was he not running away? Did he ever take James on or give a forward pass when faced with James?

jargooflife912:
Someone on this thread said he had a bad game that he was not composed and was scared of Recce James....some people ehn

Yea Jargo i said that, so..? Was I wrong?

charlesemeka85:
nah not from own goal or allnigeriasoccer


A growing list of Europe’s top clubs is hot in the chase of youngster Akinkunmi Amoo.

The clubs include Atletico Madrid and Valencia in La Liga, Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga, Ajax Amsterdam as well as Leicester City in the Premier League.

His Swedish club Hammarby IF confirmed to Fotboldirekt.se the forward has attracted interest from across Europe.



Amoo, 18, made six appearances last season, but in the new season, he is starting matches for Hammarby.

According to Fotboldirekt.se, Hammarby expect that the first bids for Amoo will arrive within a few weeks.

The 18-year-old has a contract with Hammarby that extends until the summer of 2024.

I hope this is real and not mere speculations sha.

charlesemeka85:
Valencia, atletico Madrid, Leicester city, dortmund and Ajax interested in ex U17 star akinwumi amoo

Emmy my brother dun land again oo, with his ogbonge transfer news from owngoal and AllNigeriasoccer

charlesemeka85:
you said it all. in the current super eagles set up we do not have an above average CM

I hope Kelechi Nwakali keeps improving on his game and fitness. Dude was born for that position, and I want to see him manning it after summer

Etebo has the lungs I admire in my enforcers but he is not a good CM. Dude be forming activities but at the end of the day, one can not point out one ting he did all match, than to hug the ball and wait for who to flex muscle with. As for Aribo, I never rated him.

andrewbaba44:
Yes he didnt do that bad at Newcastle

And he is a good player

Yea, Zouh Feddal is equally a good CB

andrewbaba44:
Are you eating mbemba because of just yesterday game ?

Asier Mandi is better than mbemba on current form and a far better player than him on a normal day

Feddal of sporting CP has done better than mbemba on the same league

If I tell you say dem plenty I mean am

Yesterday ke? Guy I saw all their UEFA champions league matches nah, and he has been a Trojan in the few Portuguese league matches I have seen him feature in, this season. Remember he didn't do badly while he was in the EPL with NC

andrewbaba44:
Dem plenty o

Dem plenty is not an answer. Besides, Koulibaly and Abdou Diallo who else is better on current form?

Romain Saiss?
Willy Boly?
Eric Baily?
Mandi?

TheSuperNerd:
Dennis Emmanuel Bonaventure is being linked with Atalanta of Italy.

Very interesting.

Make we hear word abeg, na today we begin read all these bogus speculations on Dennis manufactured by his management team? Ogbeni nobody wants this boy, he isn't good enough

elyte89:
Y re u guys taking Charles transfer rumors serious... His speculations hardly comes into fruition ..we just dey read am as cruise

Kai wetin my man do una for this thread nah?

andrewbaba44:
Lol

Why you talk so

Can you name a better center back, on current form?

Whenever Zaidu was faced with James, Zaidu would wanna pee his panties

Always sending the ball backwards due to the fear of James


Zaidu isn't not composed enough, I have been keeping tabs on him, he isn't the answer to our LB problems for now, though he is better than Collins

Chancel Mbemba is currently the best center back in Africa now

elyte89:
I love his style of play.. I love it when players makes football so simple..he plays d game effortlessly.. He only needs to add awareness to his game cos most times he looks lost and uninterested whyle d game is on..

He is always elegant on the ball, but off it, he looks totally lost most of the time, and he doesn't always make himself available for a pass

charlesemeka85:
Nice observation, for him to strive better as a CM or even a CMA he needs to up the physical and tackling side of his game

These are qualities in a CM or CMA that coaches of nowadays embrace so much. Creativity is not all that is needed but quality needed when your team is suferring and starved of the ball

The issue with many fans is that they re always blinded by the basics and cry fowl teams fail fail to gun for certain players who are obviously talented.

In football nowadays your off the ball workrate matter alot because it seem more robotic unlike yesteryears when players re allowed that freedom to express themselves while the tackling and bustling is left for the DM and DF alone

Football tactics have evolved

That is why I admire Bennacer so much. The way that guy charges at opposition players is so terrifying that that he forces players to make mistakes which allows him to dominate the midfield easily

KC Nwakali remains a huge talent but his off the ball activities do not impress me. He strolls a lot, I want him to be getting involved every now and then, by opening up to receive passes to dictate the flow of the game, he has it in him because he has that eagle eye for passes of every range, he dribbles well and he is hard to be dispossessed, hence, he easily wins fouls. I believe he will do better in a team that enjoys keeping possession. Whenever the boy is with the ball, he always makes things look easy and I am never scared of him losing possession unlike when Ndidi or Iwobi is with the ball

Lol Emeka na TheSupernerd wan make you cry this one wey you dey shout "only God in heaven" "only God in heaven" into about three places? You even dey attack "likes"?

Chai you dun fall my hand


Nerdy dey over hype our players some times, no mind him

andrewbaba44:
E get the kind wahala wey I Dey like sha

I go need chriskels backup sha

Bro for now, talent wise, we and Ghana no be mate.

TheSuperNerd:
If Ejaria remains in the Championship and get capped. Then it is fair to say that Nwakali will also deserve his chance from La Liga Smartbank if he keeps producing the goods as he does now.

I will drop my pen here. Time will Tell.

That Ejaria matter tire me

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

charlesemeka85:
Choi

No be "shoot bird, mama fly oo"

Dude has finally realized he ain't got no future with France

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:
you re right but with good coaching they may surpass Drogba and co

Baba shun civ get players currently

Bakayoko was recently begging CIV for a chance, but CIV dey do shakara for him because of Ibrahim Sangare

charlesemeka85:
you are right but what about the Ajax kid kudus? Yet to see him play buh i learnt he is a promising young star

Kudus is a good AM but he has spent more time on the treatment table than in the pitch to be considered ahead of Iwobi in the AM position.

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

Did you know that in a Nigeria / Ghana combined 11, only Thomas Partey would be making the team?
