The Dark Knight Returns

zuchyblink:
Batman

The hypocrite is jumping up and down now because Dennis (that one we all know na smokescreen) is doing well. Going as far as to say the SE should be built round Emmanuel but disappeared at the tail end of last season when KC served him fresh humble pie from the oven.

kingphilip:
ask him where he was last season when Nacho was scoring the goals?

After he'd tell you that in the here and now while when the player is doing okay in the here and now we won't see him to talk anything.

But make the player get rough patch, we'd see him consistent.

Nobody is saying Nacho is perfect, nobody is saying he shouldn't vary his game to fit into different styles of play, but for you to always come around and tell us a player cannot see a championship team to play for is not anything near constructive criticism.

That was how he said about Osimhen not seeing team Z of all clubs in the premier league then only for him to go into hiding when he started playing well and then bringing out the old tricks of here and now to deceive the gullible.

If in January Nacho moves, he'll tell you that based on what he saw in December and not like forever and his post is always looking foreverish.

Komekn's Iheanacho agenda would be hilarious if it wasn't so ridiculous.

KC that was one of the major contributing factors to Leicester City winning the FA Cup a flop?

Player of the month winner nko?

Warri Southgate cruise pass luxury ship.

andrewbaba44:
You still ended up saying nothing in this your long epistle that’s full of trash

Ko necessary oga kome ,your same old recycled words about hyping epl players who went to other leagues ,the best players in the epl are from other leagues ,just take note ,one of the best strikers in the epl history is aguero from other league who is better than many English striker ,if not all of them

You are very silly for thinking other European teams will pay nacho 20k a week ,I am talking about decent teams that nacho should join you are here talking about teams like Levante ,Sevilla leipzig will afford to pay KC ,is Roma not paying Tammy ? Tammy was not even active last season or half the player iheanacho was ,but he got a club but you think nacho won’t get a club


No European team will take nacho but European team will take Tammy who was not that active last season ,you are just too delusional

For your information KC is not a Leicester city flop and will never be regarded as one

You cap too much and you know nothing about football.

This means former Nigerian international Joseph Enakarhire played under him.

jihday:
here’s what I could find about him.

Peseiro has a degree in physical education from the same university in Lisbon where José Mourinho gained his. He started coaching in the lower leagues before taking charge of Nacional, steering them into the Portuguese top flight in 2002. He worked as Carlos Queiroz's assistant at Real Madrid in 2003/04, returning home after a season to lead Sporting CP

However, despite playing some eye-catching football, the Lions finished third in Peseiro's debut campaign and lost the UEFA Cup final on home turf to CSKA Moskva. Sacked in the autumn of 2005, the well-travelled Peseiro has since coached al-Hilal, Panathinaikos, Rapid Bucureşti, Saudi Arabia, Braga, al-Wahda and Egyptian heavyweights al-Ahly

Peseiro's only significant trophy as a coach is the 2012/13 League Cup he won during his sole season at Braga. One thing that has been levelled against Peseiro is that his sides have often fallen short at the crucial moments, Sporting having lost the leadership of the Liga in the same week as that UEFA Cup final defeat nearly 11 years ago, while Saudi Arabia failed to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup after conceding a 93rd-minute equaliser in a play-off against Bahrain.

Blessed with plenty money you mean. I agree Akpabio and Udom have been decent but derivation money has no doubt helped.

lakesidepapa:
Either way, Akwa Ibom is blessed with good leaders.

50% of that 1990 Cameroon squad were foreign based most of whom started matches for the Indomitable Lions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_FIFA_World_Cup_squads#Cameroon

TheCongo2:
Last I check, Cameroon reach the quarter final of the world cup with home based players in 1990
Cameroon had a good performance in 1982 as well with home based players only.

But ever since Cameroon started to rely on foreign based players, they have nothing to show for it in the world cup stage.

Roger Milla, Biyik brothers, Cyril Makanaki and Thomas Nkono to mention a few were not homebased players when they competed for Cameroon in 1990.

Honestly! Do the hard work of properly scouting and identifying a coach to match your style no. It's to calling Wenger or Mourinho to say ''how far you sabi this pesin well?

humility33:
Pinnick is just a politician that barely understand and knows football

He does not even know how to look out for a coach with his assistants and technical team instead he went to Mouriho to recommend one of his country men for the super eagles. He didnt even meet renowed football consultants or interview array of interested foreign coaches

And "They all wanna make me lose my mind, up in here, up in here''

charlesemeka85:

“Here we go agaaaaain”

disgusting to watch. Instead of Glenn Hoddle and Michael Owen to call a spade a spade they were doing round about shalaye explaining why Kane wasn't sent off.

At this point it makes no sense shouting VAR if you won't use the damn thing.

andrewbaba44:
England ref going magic with Tottenham vs Liverpool

Suddenly VAR no more exists

To be fair when Swedish players are doing interviews I hardly hear one that doesn't speak english, same with the Dutch players you mentioned.

Danes too understand english well. It's Norwegians who struggle a bit but they are also fair.

andrewbaba44:
You are capping kome

Go to the street of those countries and speak English and tell me how many people will understand you ,you go to be like Mugu ,people who understand English there aren’t up to 80 percent ,you cap with too much confidence


Na Netherlands fluent for English reach that percentage wey you Dey yarn

Now you are showing how shallow minded you are ,so things like this should be known from school

safarigirl:
Meanwhile, did you guys see what happened with the Algeria and Qatar finals match in that Arab Cup?

You get my point.

andrewbaba44:
His point was money and not footballing reasons

He said very very weak as if it’s the Turkish 3rd division

Not just Kante but Mahrez too although he joined Leicester in the Championship but guess what happened he got promoted and dominated ''the best league in the world''

I used Kante as an example of someone coming from an inferior league in quote to dominate a top league.

Astrid4:

Premier league is the toughest league in the world...these players don't need to go else to prove their worth
James maddison, clyne, Gareth bale even John stones are not academic product they're pure championship product

No segunda player have gone up to dominate other leagues I repeat no segunda have dominated other league the league is wack it just more like feeder team for most of their academics most of the player that have shined in the leagues are Take Kubo ( who is a product of Madrid academic ) all those players in the league are fluke
I rate Swedish league pass Segunda division.

And how many more Kante do we have
And don't forget kante is not even a segunda division product

All these guys went on to play in EPL while Reece and Tomori are Chelsea academy products.

As to your second question I don't know any offhand but I didn't claim Segunda players are the best also.

Jude Bellingham is one example but he's still coming up definitely not comparable to Kante who came straight from French second division to win "tough EPL"

Astrid4:
Wetin you go call
James maddison, clyne, John stones, Joe Gomez, Theo Walcott, Gareth bale Ramsey, Mason, Reece James and even tomori ( yea he is having good spell with AC Milan)
All these player are product of championship
Mention one player from segunda division who has dominated other leagues (including laliga)

Have even forgotten Jude Bellingham sef

Dominating? easy there bruv. Haaland is the one carrying Dortmund without him they crashed out of UCL Plus he's just one example

komekn:
I will give you just one from the many English youth players, Jude Bellingham B. Dortmund, started playing at 16 and dominating in the Bundesliga.

Now tell me a better quality second tier league.❓❓

Egbon that's a matter of opinion. Championship might have more money but I've not seen any obvious quality in the league abi how many championship players go to other leagues and dominate?

Kog45:
Sir,English championship is ahead of Spain Segunda irrespective of talents in Segunda......I quite agreed with you on Nwakili,he hasn't done much but we are having issue with creativity in the middle and that sentiment can bring Nwakili in....

If Eguavoen can give Okoye Maduka treatment to Nwakili,probably we see something good but Nwakili I watched recently will need to buckle up to make 28 man list if he makes 40 man list but anyways we do have gatecrashers.

You are making the mistake of assuming more money equals to the quality of a league.

The English championship is not some treasure trove jaw dropping talent if not you would have been seeing them in other leagues. Can you imagine a player in Reading or Bournemouth getting signed by say Dortmund going on to win the league in his first season?

How many lower English league players have done a Kante?

komekn:
So the writer is Arsene Wenger, Mourinho, Pep and or Zidane. So we should now take his word as the complete verdict for outstanding performance.

You are being delusional.

The Segunda Division is VERY VERY LOW in quality and the money is a joke. At one stage the entire transfer budget of the Segunda Division was almost on par with Fulham transfer expenditure in the Championship. That should tell you something.

Nwakali is near 24 years old and people are still talking about youth football exploits of 7/8 years ago,that's ludicrous. Nwakali is OVER HYPED by so many here, he failed in the Dutch Eredivisie, failed again in the second by tier Eerste Divisie.

He was so resoundingly astounding , he went to Porto B and couldn't even be a regular. He is now in Huesca and remains in there , WHY ❓ Too good

These are not the attributes of outstanding quality but the opposite.

When he went to Arsenal , Saka, Okonkwo, Folarin, Nelson, Akinola, Emile Smith, were in some cases 12/13 years old . Now look at those players today.

But he couldn't cut, he was simply not good enough. And don't say discrimination and racism Arsenal has more Nigerian players in the reserves than any other team in Europe.

Football is a very short term career and time waits for no one.

This is why I'm not against him coming to camp. We are nothing to right home about when it comes to creativity. Who knows someone might have a Sunday Mba moment for us.

ChrisKels:
I just want creativity in that midfield, whoever brings it, I'm fine.

You don't know how happy I am that Emil Smith-Rowe is doing well for Arsenal to further increase the number of AMs for England to make Eze's chances for England slimmer. I even pray Dele Ali gets his mojo back. Our midfield is an eyesore, I want improvements

Can't honestly argue with Komekn on Nwakali. The boy's only name to fame is that Atletico game which many just don't want to accept was an end of season kick about.

Kelechi can still come good and I have no qualms with him being invited to AFCON camp to fight for a shirt but I won't hype him like he's the second coming of Pirlo/Nedved/Modric rolled into one until I begin to see consistent top level performances.

charlesemeka85:
spot on

It's a good thing you are questioning the validity of that list because even light research shows apart SA and Morocco the rest barely have up to 15% paved roads. Mauritius that featured doesn't even have up 4000 kilometers of road network. I think it's a case of Those countries projecting their best side and expertly hiding their dodgy underbelly which Kenya has a PhD in.

If Nigeria only showcased the roads you see in movies shown on ROK we would also lie that we have the best road network in Africa.

You don't even need to tell me that Ghana has a great road network simply using google earth proved your assertion but guess what I saw when I looked at Kenya

That's how they lied they have almost complete electricity coverage if not for Kazikazi and those night time NASA pictures.

Lied about having one of the busiest ports on the continent but a visit to the maritime shipping website revealed all

Just30:
Because WEF usually come up with bogus lists...


So why has Kenya not used it moneies from Gold, Tintanium, rear earth minerals and oil to pave more roads to cath up to Ghana?

Kenya lunatic

Why do you like being unfactual? Aribo moving to the SPL meant he had a bigger profile so he would be called up. Rohr and his scouts kept track of all sort of players whether they played in lower league or the elite level. Zaidu Sanusi for years played in the lower echelons of Portuguese football but once he moved to Porto he got a call up. So going by your logic are you saying it was his performance in the lower leagues or with Santa Clara that he earned his invitation?

komekn:
Aribo's call up was well before he joined Rangers,he was already invited and had been in consideration by Rohr and the NFF for over a year.

Rangers had their first game in the 2019/20 season in Scottish premier League on the 4th of August 2019, that's the day the season started. It was also Aribo's first game in the SPL .

Aribo had just played 4 games in the Scottish premier League before he played for the SE on the 10th September 2019. Are you suggesting that after just 4 games he was therefore invited to the SE❓.

You know that's not TRUE.

Please stop sharing fake news the poor woman is not Kadaria Ahmed's sister.

Here's her tweet clarifying the picture.

Pray the woman in the picture gets justice.

Aribo was called up when he joined the Scottish premier league. His debut was against Ukraine in September 2019.

komekn:
Sorry typo will modify to Midfielder.

He made is SE call up from English League one, and has remained outstanding in the SE to date.

The science of it is not yet known. Some say sex before a match helps some say it doesn't. However like you I'm also not looking at the moral aspect. I'm just interrogating the lack of professionalism such behavior breeds.

If players are going to be engaging in 'extra curricula' activity let it be a team decision and not a group of players undermining the rest. Personally if you have been getting some for weeks on end a few days or a month of celibacy won't kill you.

komekn:
I am not hear to make a moral judgement.

But the issue is , the pertinent question❓❓ , does this in any way affect affect their ability to perform at the highest level.

Sleeping with your wife or girlfriend or Escort it's a question of perspective.

Having a bout of bedmatics may actually help a player to relax and focus on the game and overcome stress and nervousness. And one thing for sure, it will enhance his ability to get a really good night's relaxing sleep before a very important game.

Big ups to you my good man.

This is not an ideal situation honestly speaking but all we can do is hope for the best and back the Eguavoen led crew.

TheGoodJoe:
I will like to share a sincere apology on how I went off at the appointment of Eguavoen. Even if it was not the trajectory I expected from the team and felt he has been off the scene to just take it, I think it is not too bad an appointment.

The coming weeks will give us an idea what to expect if we don't get a press conference from him.

As for Salisu, that is a very tough one but we can not deny his technical know how. I feel Rohr's game suffered with the suspension of Salisu. Salisu seemed a key arsenal for Rohr.

As for Yobo, he still remains a National hero and vastly experience. He might have more to offer tactically than it looks.

Dr. Terry. We should hope his knowledge can transcend into tactical reading and inputs for the team.

I think with the explained break down of law and order in the camp by Pinnick, I see why the likes of Kanu and Okocha were recruited.

Pinnick believes with more highly respected names in the camp. Ex-Players that have done it in Europe and for the National team. Those that have seen money, they can get the players to respect the team's management.

So I will throw in my support behind the coaching crew and the NFF to see how the first few week plays put before taking my final stance.

What you do in your free time is your business but once you are called up for a game you act professional. At least wait after the game before sowing your wild oats.

I remember it was this kind of behavior that got Foden and Mason Greenwood sent home from the England camp before a game.

komekn:
Sorry dude your talking balderdash.

You know how many top world class players use the services of Olosho as well as have side chicks.

Neymar, Balotelli, Ronaldo, Rooney, Benzema, Raheem, Kyle, etc, etc the list is absolutely endless.

Many are a lot more discreet about it.

Strong hard face

solonnachi:
I also have that feeling about Eguavoen's qualities but on a second thought, that's the reason why he has so many assistants. Remember that he has worked with Siasia before in the SE and they did well. I think his presence will bring sanity and discipline to the national team with all these issues of sex party arising and arguments in the dressing room. His facial look will control the team.

See as you dey smile now your heart don cut before to face CR7
