and some are saying that the dude won't make the afcon team because the Super Eagles nah parade the likes of messi and Ronaldo.
with all fairness the guy go make many Africa countries afcon list

Without mincing words, as a winger or wing back, SiMoses might never get to achieve dis little feat throughout his laliga career. When I read people comparing Chuks, Musa and SiMoses as wingers I chuckle at their ignorance. Musa(with all due respect) and SiMoses are headless fowls as long as the position "winger" is concerned. That said, musa is a class act as a striker and a WF, same cant be said of Moses Simon though.

Laliga player of the week nominees.



Chuks would have to beat off competition from the trio of Daniel Parejo who bagged an assist in Valencia’s 2-1 win over Real Madrid and Pablo Sarabia who also scored one and assisted another in Sevilla’s win over Alaves, whilst Real Sociedad’s Mikel Oyarzabal completes the pairing.

Chuks stands tall here considering his rating, stats and calibre of players he faced, plus the club's(Barcelona) status.

Laliga team of the week

You do not need to refer to someone as dumb. People have different opinions. No matter how farfetched it is, it remains their opinions. Respect it.

Please leave out the harsh words.

Kid is an effigy, hence I don't take him seriously. Engaging such a stinkpot will amount to bringing myself to disrepute. I dont give credence to such witless posts.

My boy from the high school academy beside my house.

This thread has been relegated to naming goal scorers' names from obscure leagues all over. I followed suit

My dear oo, people really are celebrating a goal scored in the CSL of all leagues? Is this how low the SE has fallen?

Joebie:
Agreed with one reservation. we also have to count Ighalo’s recent goals for SE. Abi can’t someone make amends for their past? Let’s praise Ighalo at least for now.. U can’t just hate person finish.

People can make amends for their past buh some amendments can be deceitful. This is why i said his recent goals rush is nothing buh a pig on lip sticks bkus when the going gets a notch up, he will still cut his normal figure of barrenness. This makes him unreliable. I only rate players who rise to save the day when the chips are down. I'm sorry if I seem cantankerous, buh I love being real.

Salah is hell bent on undoing everything Liverpool has fought for, with his stupid jealousy and selfishness.

Salah is obviously jealous of Mane's shine

darkelf:
Double standards. Plain simple!!!

Musa shows up when it matters most while Ighalo chickens out. Thats not to say Musa made the right move. Ighalo's prodigalities in front of goal are well documented. Ighalo is a rope of sand as long as the national team is concerned while Musa is a hero. Musa has played and excelled at the highest level, national team wise, while, Ighalo has been a colossal fiasco, hence, it's preposterous comparing the two. Musa as a wing forward promises more goals(very vital ones for that) than Ighalo as a striker.

Truidstar:
We will make it out of the group stage. 6 groups, top two automatically to round of 16, joined by best 4 third place teams. I am not an Ighalo fan, but let's see how it goes. This is African opposition.

Well, I believe our wingers/wing forwards will once again, come to our rescue, otherwise we are doomed as I don't expect Ighalo to suddenly become prolific, neither would penalties be that easy to come by, for him to cheaply register his name of the score sheet as usual

Toylove:
Bros
Let’s place a bet...ighalo will top strike and Nigeria will qualify from the group stage

Sorry I'm not a gambler.


Just as he has been top - striking in all the tournaments we have taken him to?

U basking on the euphoria of his recent goals returns of which four were penalties? Minus the penalties, how many goals did he score in an open play? It would be perilous having Ighalo as the striker, it has always been.

BascoVanVeli:
Ighalo with a goal.

U celebrating a goal scored in a league equivalent to league 2(English third division)? I put it to u, if Ighalo strikes for Nigeria at the AFCON, we wouldn't make it outta the group stage.

The most scary words to say in a plane " ALLAHU AKBAR"


That is the same as taking Simi to AFCON...he should join Juventus

Now, here is the true definition of stupidity.

junnyjake:
Chriskels, with these few games providing us another opportunity to beam our lights on Jamilu Collins, is there any chance, you might have changed your stance against him?

Jamil and Shehu are not SE quality. Both have no business in the team. I would rather Ola Aina manned that LB/LWB. As poor as Idowu was and will ever be, to me, he aint worse than Jamil. That LB remains a cog in our wheel.

TheGoodJoe:
I disagree with your last comment. We can not say Nacho is wasting away because he is part of the team. At the end, Rodgers has his first eleven but it does not mean the others are not assimilating the knowledge Rodgers is passing to the team.

I think the whole team is performing better, not just Ndidi. Are you seeing Wes Morgan playing like a ball playing defender? Not seen him in that light but it is working under Rodgers.

Rodgers has said Vardy is his top pick and he is playing Nacho as a center forward. Meaning Nacho will get his chance when Vardy is not available or when Nacho gets ahead of Vardy in performance. Meaning Nacho needs to keep working hard in training to get ahead. I am very okay with that.

Well, I just hope he uses his opportunity when he is presented with it. I dont see Vardy letting up anytime soon though.

Yes their performance has improved buh Ndidi has been the best. He was the reason they defeated Burnley even with Burnley's numerical advantage early in the game. The less said about their game yesterday, the better

zuchyblink:
Long man

Despite his height, this boy clearly looks his official age. Facially sef, he looks younger than 24, this makes me wonder if he was born abroad abi him no follow suffer the Naija harsh weather that makes most of our players look older than their ages?

TheGoodJoe:
Just came back from the game and I must say, this was the best I ever saw Ndidi play. He was not just good in his marking but his tracking back to win balls was off-the-chain.

His passing also improved and he was very balanced in his play.

I think he is the most improved player.

Can u feel the Rodgers effect? Andy has been the best player for Leicester since Rodgers took over the reigns and with his reputation even before Rodgers, this boy might be headed for ManU by summer, bkus to me he is the last puzzle in that United midfield. Pair him (as the destroyer) with Pogba as the CM, then watch ManU reclaiming their rightful place at the summit.

BTW, Leicester, a tale of two Nigerians. While one is assimilating the said knowledge from Rodgers, and showing it, the other is wasting away on the bench.

Make una hear ighalo oo

Lies! Lol who this one wan deceive? Bros stop with the lies already, Barca never considered u, and if they did, u were rock bottom on the queue of strikers they wanted on the interim as a back up to Suarez. They would have pushed for ur siggy and coarse u to sign, if that news of their interest in u was substantiated.

Lol even ur misinformed fanboys said u were Spurs bound to bench Llorente
Any excuses for that too?

Lol we are smarter now, we dont buy this kinda lies no more. This is same thing carpenter Etebo wanted to sell to us, that he rejected Epl, laliga and ligue1 clubs for moribund stoke

Better luck next time bro, this one no reach

As tall as Onuachu is, yet, dude is more athletic than most our players with lower centres of gravity. He was so mobile that most times I wondered if he was a DMF or a striker. Mehn, dude was everywhere.


Who else feared when he was doing that traditional Nigerian goal celebration, the ever delicious back flip abi summersaults?


Goodjoe, did u see any similarity between Marega and Onuachu yesterday?

Humility017:
Lol. ..brother you nor get work at all. ABEG leave Oga Icon4s let's enjoy the moment

Lol bro, free me oo, make I worry sir Icon4s

Joebie:
I don’t know if someone has already mentioned, but Solanke and Uduokhai were both on the scoresheet today.

This overhyped scam still dey play for the U21s? Lol

Sancho, Nelson, Alexander Arnold and Odoi right now

Icon4s:
Firstly, did I ever discuss anything on Onuachu with you?

Secondly the comment you quoted from Goldfish was made in 2017. So why are you including 2018 and 2019?

Please look for someone else to pick argument with not me.

sorry bro, we no dey fight. in stead okwu ga-aputara ogo na ibe ya, ka udu nmaya dawakwaa.

daalu.

wetin u think over amunike style?

tbaba1234:
Onuachu was supposed to be involved in friendlies before the WC but he picked up a knock.

now this is someone who was there, plz do u still remember what was icon's assertions when onuschu's name was thrown around against simmy's enroute Russia?

Icon4s:
As at then 2017-2019? You are just trying to prove what does not exist

Who is talking about 2018 or 2019? Abeg I no get ur time this morning.

I am giving u points bereft of preconceptions and u trynna twist facts. from 2017-19, were ighalo, simmy, nacho, Success et al statistically better than onuachu? in forgiveness's voice, yes or no?

After watching Emma Amunike's Tanzanian team exhibit the traditional Nigerian gengen pressing style of play, i felt like it was Sir Westerhof all over again. In far away east africa, Emma is invoking the SE spirit of the 90s to early 2000s. I really wanna face Tanzania in Egypt.

Rohr is always proving me right that he ain't worthy of this position he is occupying now,how could a rational thinking coach sub out his tallest player when he was defending a corner kick ,in this 21st century?

Icon4s:
Go deeper to do what? Paul Onuachu was never a SE material until this 2018/2019 season (this was not even much of a debate because it was so obvious). The post u went to dig up was in 2017 when Paul was really lagging behind in the pecking order of Nigerian strikers.I don't even remember going into any debate about Paul Onuachu with you or anybody. So I don't know what you are going deeper into.
The National team is not for every D!ck and Harry, it is only for proven players. Paul Onuachu has proven this season he is ready to compete for a place in the SE. He was invited and nobody questioned his invitation. So what game are you playing here?

Your usual attempt of trying to claim cheap Glory
Bros no market for you today

Hmmm OK oo, buh my boy has been consistent for about four seasons now. These past years ighalo hasn't done nothing to justify his inclusion in the NT.


About this line "How was his rating compared to Ighalo, Iheanacho, Success, Simmy and co as at then(2017-19)?", u just shot urself in the foot here bkus ,statistically, none of those guys came close to him. Don't get me started with ighalo's armature CSL stats, we all know it was a fluke

Oya take am!!

Tottenham U18 first choice goalkeeper, Oluwayemi 18;


''If Nigeria comes for me, then I'll go but at the moment I am focusing on England youth,since I am already in the system, but then, it is Nigeria first''.

Icon4s:
^^^ so what did I say here now that will warrant me to make any apology? That post came in 2017. What was Paul Onuachu's game level at that time? How was his rating compared to Ighalo, Iheanacho, Success and co as at then?

I don't think anybody here raised eyebrows when Paul Onuachu made Rohr's list in this 2019 as it was glaring he deserved the call up. So I don't know which Glory you are trying to claim here.

u want make I go deeper?

Well, I will keep doing my good job of unearthing quality players for our various national teams. Good thing my boys are proving to be hits, back to back

Icon4s:
You need to state when that discussion on Onuachu took place. It couldn't have been this year or last Year. Onuachu has been a subject of discussions here since Siasia invited him for trials with the Olympics team in 2014 of which he was not impressive and was dropped. I am never one of those that classify leagues as back-water leagues. Go check my posts.

Almost everyone acknowledged his improvement this season even being the highest scoring Nigerian player. So it is a no brainer for Rohr to invite him and a lot was also expected of him and he delivered.

So I don't know the point you are trying to make here.

this is how it all started, the internet is never amnesiac

Search For Top Striker – Rohr Beams Searchlight On Midtjylland Paul”Nigerian Crouch” Onachu
https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/image-47.jpg


A source close to the coach of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr has once again confirmed Paul Onuachu of FC Midtjylland is firmly in the plans of the coach as the search for a classic number nine continues.
Rohr is searching for a top striker after Manchester City Kelechi Iheanacho failed to justify his spot as the top striker in their last game against South Africa which the Eagles lost 0-2.
Although Tiajin Teda Brown Ideye is still the favourite to clinch the role, Rohr has sounded out his assistants to keep a close watch on Onuachu who took the Danish League by storm last season with 24 goals to his name.
23 year old Onuachu stands at an impressive height of over six feet and his physical presence alone is part of what Rohr believes his team presently lacks in attack bar Ideye who is in his 30’s.
However with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) yet to secure any friendly game ahead of their next competitive game in September, the chances of the forward having a chance will only be enhanced if he maintains his form when the Danish League resumes.

Hmm... Ok o.

Plz eh, Supersports studio no get something to dey absorb the outside voices from the fans?

Which one be, nna Chima, Eagles abatago na-udi ha? This boys na-agba ballu

Choi Iwobi ji ndia egwu-egwu na that midfield.

Onuachu a, bukwawu onye egwu oo upon height ya. Odogwu nwoke

Then when Onuachu was getting subbed off, all I was hearing was;

Nna I gbalu ofuma, daalu rinne

Then, when Ighalo shielded that ball out of play, they went this way;

Ighalo nwa mama, daalu nwanne mmadu, onye egwu



Lol Asaba kwenu!!

Icon4s and Forgiveness should apologise for what they said about Onuachu when I first brought him to our notice.

I told u guys I never liked the idea of Simmy Nwankwo, that Onuachu was a better option buh u guys and others said I was always opposing every move by Rohr and that Onuachu plays in a back water league. Icon4s in particular was more critical about Onuachu. Yea, it is still early days, buh my boy has shown that talent no dey hide.

I saw Forgiveness shouting "this Onuachu na baller ooo" and I was like
