TheSuperNerd: Saw the rating. Sad by the rating. Honestly, Bartley contributed in making Ajayi look bad today. Ajayi will bounce back but he and his back men really got murdered by the Leicester attack today. The gap in quality between EPL and The Championship showed markedly. he needs to improve and fast the Premier League is very unforgiving |

Subzero047: West Brom don't have any money, they spent all their money in signing permanently their loan signing
They don't have any striker near to the premier league quality hmm well unless a miracle happens I don't see how they're going to avoid going down into the championship. |

Danielnino00: West Brom are heavy relegation candidates.... Na carpenters full this team.... serious ones. They lack quality in attack. Midfield is non-existent defence though not terrible is not great. If they don't buy some more players then I don't see how they won't be relegated. |

TheGoodJoe: One of the best games I have watched in a long time and Marcelo Bielsa made me proud with his Leeds team.
They should not feel bad with the loss but keep marching with their refreshing brand of football.
I hope people can see that a team that wants to grow fast will focus on playing in a brave fashion.
Papa Rhor, all I will say is see your mate. lol bielsa is a great tactician no doubt lovely entertaining match |

from the few minutes i watched a bit of the pace but was still dangerous in front of goal. had a couple of chances that he probably should have converted but overall good work out Subzero047: Osimhen off? |

only one tournament i can remember did Poland perform fairly 2016 q/finals plus he only scored once in that tournament. not impressive by his standards. Messi and Aubameyang are absolutely key to their clubs right now. Bayern had other good performers for them this season and in recent times eg Muller, Gnarbry, Alphonso, Thiago, Boateng (unto beasting level  ) at Dortmund he has Reus, Goitzse, Kagawa supporting him. If Lewandoski should leave bayern today i'm hundred percent confident they will win the league but can you predict the fates of Barca and Arsenal if their talismen were unavailable? Edopesin: At the bolded, Lewandowski is Poland's highest goal scorer in history, he has also helped them go far in major tournaments and these instances are successes for his national team
Again you mistake club football with international football. Messi for Barca, Aubameyang for Arsenal, Lewandowski for Dortmund and Bayern
Consistency defines world class players and not because they deliver when it matters but because they deliver consistently |

i brought it down to semis and goals scored in tournament to show how influential a player can be. you might be unlucky to not win an international trophy but you must have definitely contributed to your teams little success some way, some how. sometimes individual talents will bail you out in tight situations. CR7 so many times for Portugal, 1986 no Maradona no Argentina world cup trophy. club football Messi with Barcelona, Aubameyang for Arsenal lately. Even bring it home to Nigeria without Okocha and to some extent Kanu no way would Nigeria have gone past Q/Finals before we start talking bronze. Players are world class not just because they perform consistently over a period of time but they also deliver when it matters most Edopesin: Ok it's no longer about International Trophies but Semi's, Goals scored in tournaments and whatever works for you 
The quality of a national team is what determines how teams will perform and not a single individual talent |

Aubameyang despite playing for Gabon once finished as joint top scorer in an AFCON. Gareth Bale inspired a limited Welsh team to the semis of the 2016 Euros so no excuse about quality of national team will fly with me. Edopesin: The point is not that they are not world class, it is your using their international careers as a yardstick in ranking them or putting them in levels. You cannot expect Neymar that plays for Brazil to have a better international career than Lewandowski of Poland or Aubameyang that plays for Gabon to have a better international career than Osimhen that plays for Nigeria |

messi is different even though i may prefer CR7 and troll him from time to time i cannot deny his greatness 6 time world player of the year, 3 time UCL winning top scorer awards left and right almost on a regular. with Argentina at least he has gotten to 3 international finals. I've never disputed that Lewandoski is world class but their are levels to this thing. some players are better than others and whether we like it or not their trophy cabinet will indicate how great they were. Edopesin: Well Messi retiring without an international trophy doesn't deny the fact that he is the best player in football history and same applies with World class players like Lewandowski, Suarez and Aubameyang |
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by chrisooblog: 2:38pm On Sep 10, 2020 |
well that argument was about him and Neymar and I rated Neymar above him. still do. Neymar has done it in club football has also done reasonably well for brazil. Lewandoski has done very well this season i can't deny but let's see what he does with Poland. Edopesin: Well you did say Lewandowski is not the best player in the world after Messi and Ronaldo because he hadn't won the Champions League. A national trophy might not be far ahead to clear your doubts |

hmm for me yes you can say he was one of our best players in Russia and Egypt but off the top of your head which moments can you point to during those tournaments will you really say he wowed you? i think etebo's attacking instincts need to be reignited. don't know why rohr hasn't tried him more often in an advanced role in the final third of the pitch TheSuperNerd: Not as one of our best players. He was our best player in Russia. Even ahead of Musa. That's the truth. At Afcon 2019, he was definitely among our top 3 finest too. But right now, there is a revolution going on in the team, new Midfielders with some specific skillsets that gives us upgrades in their roles are emerging and Etebo may find himself on the bench more times going forward than in the first XI.
Anyway, time will tell. As for him moving into an offensive role, let us see where Fatih Terim at Gala plan to play him coz I suspect it would be in midfield. Perhaps he could feature him as an LM. Time will tell. |

i won't lie i'm kinda scared for Iwobi this season. he might get a few games but if he doesn't impress early on then  TheSuperNerd: Well, yea, Carlo dey vex this transfer window. Three good signings so far. If they indeed want to bring in a winger, then they would have to look elsewhere coz Lozano is already looking primed to feature prominently in Gattuso's new look Napoli.
But again, I really hope they don't follow up this winger talk b'cos that would affect Iwobi. They have Iwobi, Bernard and Walcott. We all know James is sure to start. Richarlison too is a sure starter. Lewin as well when they play a two man attack or when they play Richarlison from the sides. Abeg... I hope they don't bring in a winger.  |

hmm really tough question. leaning towards Lewan but the Uruguayan vampire tends to deliver in clutch moments. Overall I will go with Lewandowski cos he's an unrelenting goal scoring machine but his invisible man acts a times especially for Poland concern me. Subzero047: Lewandowski or Suarez? |

stop bothering yourself you can't shame the shameless. i can't count the number of times i've provided numerous receipts to disprove some of his arguments using even his favorite transfer market. instead of him to be humble and accept he will just spin into another silly argument.

abi! the only player i can try and say he almost single handedly won something for his team is Maradona for Argentina in 1986 even that sef is under probably Danielnino00: You are absuing the word again.. If you want to commend a player for a particular feat,do it... But don't disrespect his teammates by saying he singlehandedly did this and that.. Football is a team sport and no player can claim to singlehandedly win anything for his team. |

true sadly i see league 1 calling. unfortunately their small stadium means they can't rely on revenue from fan tickets to boost their finances. i really liked them they played football the right way despite not having the biggest budget unlike the Stokes, BURNTleys WBA of this world.

to be fair etebo used to hit 'em well during his time with the u23s. i think guys like Iheanacho, M.Simon, S.Kalu and Etebo should be doing extra free kick drills on their own or when with the SE. with constant practice they could get very good andrewbaba44: Audio free kick
Please have any of these 2 players score free kick for the national team or their club sides ?

you have answered your own question. Nwakali is doing poorly now but who knows what tomorrow holds? plus I don't think he was saying Nwakali is better or up to Ojo's level. he was just pointing out the double standard of wishing one player the best in trying to revive their career while declaring the other's dead forgiveness: How can you compare Ojo's career with Nwakali?
Ojo's career is still better by miles. Though I don't agree Nwakali's career is dead and buried because I am not God. |

honestly you spoke my mind. these guys are already up against it the least we can offer is good advice and support. even when criticizing it should be productive not to damage their moral ChrisKels: If you knew where most of these boys came from, you would never wish them to fail. I wonder how these guys in their 30s and 40s would look at small boys who they are old enough to father, and be bitter about their success and always wish them failure just to justify their unfounded claims. Some people are praying fervently for Nwakali to have difficult times at Huesca, for Osimhen to come short, so that they would rush in here to shout "I told you so". Some of you go dey knack young boys juju for village out of bitterness. Lol the boys will continue to flourish. |

thanks supernerd very illuminating article. that's why education is so important for youngsters. Victor is lucky to have a good support system around him. his older brother really did good by him. if only most nigerian footballers had smart genuine family like victor's brother. seems napoli were also trying to prevent having to pay so much to the former agent by calling nedved akagum people!
