mtisTheQubit:

Yobeezy:
Stop being this ignorant and stupid,IAAF is a worldwide athletic event and Kenya hosted one last year.
We have been privileged to host another 2020 where your lifeless athletes with partake the sporting event by then.

and you stop being dense u hosted a cadet tournaments stop trying to give the impression it was the full senior championship u hosted because if that was the case south africa will host way before you guys who cannot even host ordinary CHAN competition not even AFCON

mtisTheQubit:
jelousy heh naija man..IAAF is not for lazy people

what's there to be jealous of that you guys hosted a glorified inter secondary school athletics tournaments? Lol oh you're so right I'm dripping with envy

mtisTheQubit:
We hosted IAAF World U18 Championships last year and we gonna host IAAF World U20 Championships year 2020

in short cadet championships

Jonraid:
But we did host the IAAF which is a worldwide event and soon we will host the IAAF under 23

IAAF as in world athletics championships? Please educate me which year did that happen

Jonraid:
Nigeria a country that could not host a proper African championship in Asaba thinks it's the real deal. Oh my !

says the man whose country could not host common CHAN tournament something which even rwanda has done

tbaba1234:
Omeruo is finally taking the steps, he should have taken years ago. And yes, he stagnated for a while.

I always considered kenneth a naturally gifted player but decision making and reading of the game has probably prevented him from having a more successful club career glad he is beginning to work his way back wish him all the best

BascoVanVeli:
I will never agree with that. That type of thinking creates selfishness and ruins teams. The goal in football is winning and an assist is exactly the same as a goal. The attack is built around the nine but that doesn't mean that he must score in order to help the team.

happy sunday bro I have to agree with him your primary purpose as a striker is to score goals everything else Na jara. I always rate a footballer on how he carries out his primary functions on the pitch if he excels in that and does well in other areas bonus but if he's terrible in his main role no matter how he does in other areas I still won't rate such a player that's why I can give alex iwobi some slack this season that even though he hasn't scored so many goals so far he creates and give assists for his arsenal teammates because that is his role unlike iheanacho who even though has many assists hasn't quite hit the ground running in terms of goal scoring which is his main responsibility

Icon4s:

Joebie:
K. Nwakali is among few players some have tagged SPECIAL TALENT.

I understand you bro not knocking the criticism just questioning the decision to see the bad performance of 1 player while ignoring how good the waste man was

komekn:
I don’t think anybody hates him.

I for one don't rate him, third season in the EPL. His time at Watford has been one of indiscipline, disgraceful off the field behaviour ( fighting with 4 Olosho) professional footballer getting over weight, etc.

Now in his third season he has decided t become focused. Grace has given him opportunity in the injuries to key players.

He has improved but I don't think he is anywhere near as good as Ighalo. He scored today, GOOD but should we be gyrating around in euphoria.

He is the striker he is supposed to score that's why they paid £12 million ➕ for him. How many goals will he score this season ❓ To show promise and create confidence in his ability he needs to score at least 10 goals.

I have watched him play he has some pace, physicality but not great finishing. So he is improving but is he exceptional NOT YET maybe at the end of the season he might be. Only time will tell.

But undoubtedly his first two seasons were a complete waste and as such rightly tagged him Wasteman.

Maybe he can make me eat humble pie by scoring a hat trick next week, I hope he does. But otherwise there is a vast improvement in his attitude and that's reflected in his play.

lol I had commented before I saw this post we have always criticized success before for his poor attitude and we are happy that he is slowly turning the corner I'm just curious why haven't you dropped similar nuggets of wisdom 4 Solanke?

komekn:
Chei na wah oh SPECAIL TALENT struggling with bench in youth team.

lol honestly you would make a good nigerian politician completely ignored the performance of someone you called a waste man but focused on the poor performance of somebody else which fits your narrative

I visit this thread once in a while just for entertainment but I have to agree why all the unnecessary comparison are we looking for validation that you will never get if you claim your country is better then won't have to go to all this length to prove it. Forgiveness I see you have brought your wahala here too lol but for once you have my full support

CaptainStephen:
thanks bros

stay safe bro

AtoyebiTaiwo:
Mr Thomas. PDP MAN

lol like union bank will say don't be an uncle thomas

Congratulations safari girl may you grow higher and higher

MetalJigsaw:
Idiot! Go check when last Libya lost a game with such a wide margin.

guy why the insults you can disagree without having to be abusive

tbaba1234:
There are no Ighalo haters.. The man underperformed and was rightly criticized. If he starts showing consistent performances, he will be praised. It is as simple as that.

agreed with no iota of reservation because I no go hotel I'm at home

Good win from the boys. Nice one ighalo not your biggest fan but you delivered. Iwobi magic man. Nice cameos from onyekuru and success. Kalu was poor yes which I find scary for the opposition because when he gets his decision making right take it from me we have a world class winger on our hands. Francis and the oyinbo wall were solid as usual. Collins did ok but I will still need to see him in another match to assess whether he is a short term option as for long term the search continues. Ola grew into the game between him and shehu we should be ok till tyrone gets back.

Let's do this again away so we can have qualification more or less wrapped up.

The midfield still needs work if not that John ogu is a little bit on the slow side I will play him ahead of Etebo. His control and passing range are better search for another descent central midfielder continues

forgiveness:
You don shi am?

God don catch you I thought you said alex was an academy player who was never near the first team of arsenal and now you used your hands to post a screenshot that he was even on the bench way before 2015 you see yourself

forgiveness:
Alex Iwobi made the bench in 2013/2014. Does it mean he was first team player?

How many matches did he play for Arsenal first team in 2015/2016 before he played for the SE?

show me proof that he sat on the bench for the first team in any match

forgiveness:
I know it's talking about 2015/2016 season but I am not talking about it. Rather, I am talking about 2013/2014 season. Understand?

Now, look at the 2013/2014 season link below and answer these questions fast fast.

Was Alex Iwobi also a senior team player in 2013/2014 because he appeared on the list?

Don't forget we were told Alex Iwobi was ENLISTED as a senior team player right from the commencement of 2015/2016 season but what was he doing on the list in 2013/2014? You mean he was a senior team player then too. Bhahahaha?

https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/arsenal-fc/2014/2/

See the snapshot. The red mark up indicates the season and the bottom red mark indicates Alex Iwobi on the list.

Where did you see Peter Cech on the list in 2013/2014?

again your laughing at yourself did alex play any match for arsenal in the 2013 2014 season? Was he involved in that year's preseason? Anyway believe what you want you can keep twisting till u turn to oliver that's your business

stop being silly the link says 2015/2016 season click on it again but really how ridiculous can you get was Petr cech also an arsenal player in 2013/2014?

kindly check out this link for the list of arsenal first team players for the 2015/2016 season. https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/arsenal-fc/2016/2/

if you still argue after this then you are insufferable

forgiveness:
Alex Iwobi was plucked straight from the arsenal U19 academy straight to the national team and was sent back to the same academy after he played for the SE. Fact


The snapshot proved he was plucked from the Arsenal U19 academy to the national team and still played in the same team after the match. It is clear. On the 29 -09 2015, he played for Arsenal U19 academy and that game was against olympiacos. It was right after that match he was called to play his first match against Dr Congo and Cameroon.

There's nothing wrong in capping a talented FB.

forgiveness:
Gbenga Okunowo was already an established player with Barcelonia first team but was never called to the national team during his stay there. It was when he was in Benfica he got a call to the national team. Fact.

precisely my point if according to you gbenga was already doing well in Barcelona and benefica how is it national team that boosts your career

forgiveness:
Where did I write ONLY?

has it changed the import of what you said?

thumbs up doc

TheSuperNerd:
Another man who deserves a statue...

iwobi had impressed in pre-season with Arsenal that's what got him his first invite for the friendlies against cameroon and congo dr. it was his impressive performance for Arsenal in the latter part of the season like the match against everton where he scored his debut goal that really earned him his first competitive call up against egypt. even at that he came off the bench in that match.

no doubt about it iwobi was already in the periphery of the Arsenal first team squad for the 2015/2016 season and not this propaganda you and your tagteam partner are spewing giving the impression that alex was plucked from the arsenal u19s straight to national team

if you erroneously think the national team boosts people career how come sunday mba, agbim, igboun, rueben gabriel, odunlami, oshaniwa, mobi okparaku, gbenga okunowo just to mention a few didn't go on to have long illustrious careers

forgiveness:
What did Iwobi do that made his talent obvious? Nada

He was an academy player. Fact

Josh already played for Sunderland in EFL cup and made the bench in the EPL. That tells alot about a 17 years old lad.

We were never lacking in the AMF position because Sone was inform of his life and Ajagun was still with Panathiniakos in 2015. There was never need for an academy player but we went for him.

Josh Maja, Eze, Billing, Ejara, Lookman etc have made more names for themselves than Iwobi ever made before he was called.

Foresight is the problem.

this is what you said before you go and change it

forgiveness:
Does it change the fact he started playing well for Nigeria from 2009? Maybe 2008. [b][/b]I just know from the time we played WC qualifiers.
