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 �
Don't really get the rationale behind Isa Diop choosing of Morocco(his maternal home) ahead of Senegal as he couldn't make the cut for France, considering the fact that his grandfather was the first Senegalese international to play in the French league.
12large1: Oga mi, in my opinion he is. There's a reason why zaidu is at Fc Porto one of the team in the round of 8 of cl while he is at a small team (WH) I hope you're not like the other guy that think fulham is better than porto
Oh! your reason for this is club quality and strength? Hahahaha what a way to analyse players ability.
12large1: Abeg Zaidu is already better than him. Please don't disrespect zaidu like dat
Are you drunk? Zaidu better than Arthur Masuaku?
For now, Zaidu is not close to Masuaku and Bensebaini, though I would put him in the same league as Algeria's Fahrez who plays for Lazio, Senegal's Fode Bello-Toure of Monaco, and of course makeshift Cornet of Lyon
I wish Zaidu could grow to be as calculative and and consistent with his crosses as Arthur Masuaku who in my book is the undisputed best left back in Africa now, ahead of Bensebaini.
