Althou with that range depending on individual circumstances,stunted growth from poor nutrition,etc a person from a socio- economic background that's challenging added to environmental factors who is 21+ may still come out as U17.

You simply lack integrity.

komekn:
We know that malnutrition impacts on growth. You will not compare a boy growing up in the USA with high in protein diet, enhanced environment background including health and medical care. With one in a highly challenged socio economic one in Nigeria, where to eat a quality meal is a big challenge. We will not even talk about medical care and a healthy environment.

But I can't be bothered by with you today.

So this is how you see Nigerians living in Nigerian...

Food is very affordable in Nigeria.

Most of the food is Nigeria are high quality due to the fact that they're grown naturally and are vegetables..

There are a lot of 5ft4 and below women in Nigeria and their children can inherit the height of the mother..

if the father is also 5ft4 or 5ft5 it will be difficult to have 5ft 9 children unless there were tall ancestors in the families lineage..

Your hate for Nigerians and Nigerian born sports men and women will continue giving you sleepless nights..

mostob:
we're still saying the same thing na. Ndidi,Aribo and Onyeka(or Etebo) .
I was just saying I prefer Etebo to start...

Okay..

I've forgotten about Etebo..

mostob:
It's either Onyeka or Ndidi. Starting both together might be risky. Maybe if Bonke is called up, Onyeka can start then

S.E needs a midfield of 3.

Aribo/iwobi/nwakwali for attacking midfield then Ndidi and Onyeka or Bonke or tijani must start..

Ndidi is over stressed in the midfield and he needs to be able pass the ball to another in midfield.

Using only two midfielders means over reliance on the wings.

S.E played better against Tunisia when iwobi came on.

So it's either Aribo and another attacking midfielder starts and Ndidi starts.

or Aribo starts and Ndidi starts and onyeka or Bonke or tijani starts.

In summary.
Two A.Ms and one D.M

Or

One A.M and two D.Ms with one of the D.Ms playing as a central midfielder.

mostob:
Nice lineup... though I'd prefer any of Onyekuru and Ejuke to start ahead of Simon...then Etebo in place of Onyeka

It's not wise to bench Onyeka..

mostob:
you say
Osimehn, Awoniyi,Ighalo,Okereke,Dessers,Sadiq,Onuachu,Simy,Success.... Those are strikers o even though some are not at the level we need them to be at the moment yet you want to convert Lookman to CF

andrewbaba44:
E never reach like that ,abi are we short of strikers ?

Osimhen Dennis simon are fast... I only mentioned lookman due to his speed and the goal he scored against Liverpool..

If S.E uses Dennis and Simon on the wings then S.E will need "like for like" replacement and lookman can replace Simon or Dennis and be drifting into the box to score..

S.E needs wingers that can score ..

Mane is a winger at Liverpool but a striker or drifts into striking positions for Senegal most times and Liverpool


Salah is also a winger that drifts into striking positions or plays striker for Egypt..

That's if lookman plays for the S.E and if lookman doesn't play then Okereke, onyekuru, Amoo, Ejuke, dessers, Samuel adegbenro can also replace him.

forgiveness:
Ademola Lookman is not a striker oooo.

Okay but he can be converted to a striker..

Oasis001:
Eguavoen and Amuneke Appointments are good Call, I support it 100%. Wasting Millions of Dollars for Bronze Medals at AFCON and second round at WC ain't something to cheer at all.

I am glad we don't hire another incompetent, overrated, Manager again, in the Name of hiring a foreign Manager.

Meanwhile, we need to be realistic henceforth and fairly critiquing the Squad. First and foremost, Alloy Agu must go. He's a big failure as GKs Trainer. I'll rather have Ezenwa in Goal than any of Uzoho or Maduka.

Presently we don't have Goalkeepers. I won't mind Local based GKs like Olohunleke Ojo or we invite that Israel based GK ASAP.

Other departments are OK, except Midfield, precisely AM Position. We need an AM like Okocha or Mikel ASAP. Iwobi ain't a Heir. He has been tested and obviously not good enough for the Role.

I would have canvassed for Olise and Eze, but both are playing as Wingers at Crystal Palace. To me Amoo is not good enough for AM. Our Scouts should find us a proper, natural No. 10 before World Cup begins.

Amoo is a winger not AM.. Amoo plays chukwueze's position..

S.E only has a goalkeeper problem every other position is good only player selection is S.E main problem outside the GK position..

Uzoho should be the main GK unless they find someone else...

joelsteron:
We haven't been talking alot about eagles forwarders since forever. I think the earlier we start discussing eagles defence and goal keeping the better.

Nigeria needs goalscorers...

As long as no goalkeeping mistakes happen from the goalkeepers and maduka Okoye is benched or not invited at all then we will be okay..

If Okoye starts then S.E is in trouble..

Joezinho:
Truth is I think Ighalo should not be recalled. Our back ups to Osimhen are good enough.

All this pressure on Sadiq and Awoniyi does not help.
In fact, don’t be surprised if the pressure also gets to Osimhen when he returns.

My ranking of strikers are in this order: Osimhen, Iheanacho, Awoniyi, Onuacho and Dessers.

The others na "in case of emergency, break glass" type of strikers.

Awoniyi hasn't scored a normal goal in Eguavoen's team so he should be benched..

Nacho doesn't track back and this weakens the midfield and defense.

Onuachu needs crosses, he doesn't press and plays sluggishly..

Osimhen, Dessers, Dennis, ademola lookman, Samuel adegbenro, terem moffi, David okereke, Umar sadiq should be the strikers..

TFLASHOGEE:
baba like it or not ighalo is in the team for now till he announce his retirement again and if he is in the team we would have to mention him in the squad and he won't seat on the bench that am sure of so how do we accommodate him is the option I gave up there expect if you think Onuachu and awoniyi are ahead of him in this present Squad

If Ighalo is going to make the team then Eguavoen should be sacked immediately..

we have Osimhen , Dessers , Dennis, Awoniyi , Umar Sadiq , David Okereke , Kelechi Ihenacho , Samuel Adegbenro , Simy Nwachukwu , Onuachu, Terem Moffi, Paul Mukairu e.t.c. as strikers... so anybody mentioning Ighalo's name is very ignorant of Nigerian strikers...

Its a lie...

Diallo was sparking at me after the final whistle...

HIScraziness:
Nothing for push and if you’re transferring out u pay nothing either. You only pay the registrar you’re transferring to.

Thank you..

Pork:bun is currently giving me errors when I try to buy names...

Who knows if Pork:Bun charges for transfer of domains and pushing of domains

komekn:
Agreed without question.

It baffles me how professional players cannot do simple accurate cross and these are wingers or wing backs.

Chukwueze, Zaidu, Simon, Ejuke are all poor at crossing the ball, the very basic requirement for the position they play.

Football is not just dribbling, skills and showboating.

I watched how many accurate crosses were thrown into the box by Senegal , if not for a very good Egyptian goalkeeper and last ditch defending. Senegal should really have won the game 3-0

Mujtahida:
They tell a lot of lies and propagate same. It is when you subject it to scrutiny that you'd find out that what they say is different from the reality.

Notwithstanding that we scored from crosses, the overall quality of our crosses were poor. They lack fluidity

The headers were also poor.. Moses Simon was crossing the ball but against Tunisia he wasn't given space to cross..

It was Chukwueze that wasn't crossing or even passing into the box..

andrewbaba44:
Both are 3rd grade big clubs

Big club are every footballer dreams ,examples below

Real Madrid ,Barcelona Bayern ,Chelsea man united ,Liverpool

With huge salary from crystal palace Everton a player will easily Dump Napoli ,not all players sha

15 years ago Arsenal was a big club but today you didn't even mention them.

With huge salary from any club some players will move..

Vincent aboubakar left Porto to Saudi Arabia..

charlesemeka85:
the problem with our players is once they secure deals abroad they feel so comfortable that they have arrived and escaped poverty as well so the hunger and eagerness to improve and become better isnt their number one priority anymore

the way chukwueze started in laliga i thought by now he will be playing for of ATM,madrid or barca

for now the only 2 that may end up in big clubs still remains osimhen and ndidi, if dennis can sustain his form this season he may also attract a move to a bigger club than watford only if they get relegated

Osimhen is already in a big club.. Leicester city is also a big club.

PurpleHouse:
This fellow spoke the gidple truth.

zuchyblink:
I told them about our frying contingent and how they made us fail. Eguaveon is old school. Dribbling is not primarily part of the modern game. We failed because our players were showboating. This is why I find it hard to criticize Rohr.

S.E goal against Egypt was from a cross the Egyptians didn't clear properly.

Nacho crossed the ball to Umar for Umar's 1st goal..

Awoniyi's fluke goal was from a free kick cross..

Chuks goal was from a pass within the box which can also be called low cross..

S.E combined crossing , low pass, through pass , one twos e.t.c. to score all their goals..

So you guys should stop supporting someone's false opinion on the S.E..

Go and watch highlights of the S.E goals on y:outube..

Omanambala:
We can try a three man midfield of Onyeka, Ndidi and Aribo....but none is a playmaker.

Honestly, we don't have to invite Nwakali since he is useless and caused us the lost.....we can invite Amoo, still. Amoo is a proper midfielder.

Amoo is a winger.. plays Chuks wing..

TheGoodJoe:

I was one of the first and the loudest to crucify Chuks here. I even wanted him dropped for not playing to instructions. Now you are saying I am defending him.

Bye bye...

TheGoodJoe:

That was actually the tactics and Chukwueze adhering to it. He drifts into a slightly central role to allow room for Aina to push. Keep in mind that Chukwueze will be marked to create room for Aina.

Now you're using "tactics" as excuse just to defend a player that was crap at the AFCON....

Bye bye

TheGoodJoe:

As I said preference. Working with the other players must not be tracking back. It is getting the ball to them when they are in space. Also when Aina goes forward, being in a supporting position to work with him to create channels to attack.

Also giving vital passes to players when they are in offensive areas. Not just tracking back.

You must always have excuses to protect Chuks.. you must be benefitting from chuks financially to be creating excuses for him..

He was crap at the AFCON despite his goal. A player like Chuks should be getting into scoring positions often like the goal he scored..

It's not Aina's job to get into scoring positions..

Joezinho:
No matter how you try to sugar coat it, Eguavoen's tactics cost us that game.. He had no Plan B..

Everyone knew eyes would be on Simon, and Eguaveon didn't make any alternative plan for this. Not even try switch Simon and Chuks positions to see if they can stretch the Tunisia defense by playing on the line and pulling out instead of their predictable cutting in from the wings...

And also, how did Eguavoen decide to not include Ejuke in the squad for a knockout game? Did he underestimate Tunisia to the extent that he didn’t think he would need a player like Ejuke who would be very useful in creating spaces and unlocking a stubborn defense? That was an unacceptable blunder.

Eguavoen is not on the pitch.. it's Okoye that cost us the game and not Eguavoen's tactics.

S.E also didn't have finishers in their strikers.

TheGoodJoe:

Understand that it is beyond your comprehension or even mine. I am still trying to understand the system. The fact is simple, Eguavoen did not play the way we want or are used to. He has his offensive system and it works.

You can mark Simon, and the chances will still come. You can hold Chukwueze and somehow Aina gets into offensive positions.

His two midfielders go forward and yet it is hard to get direct shots at the team.

Leave, Eguavoen is a brilliant tactician. When you try to criticize, you forget the plain fact. We created 13 chances while the Tunisians created 7. They were not tactically superior. We dominated.

So criticizing that he did not play the way you like is a thing of preference, not failed tactics.

TheGoodJoe:

He absolutely did and there was an improvement. In the first game, I can bet I was the most vocal critique of that.

He absolutely didn't..

Aina was getting into offensive positions that Chukwueze should have been getting into and at the same time Aina also had to get back into defensive positions since Chuks wasn't helping defensively...

Chuks is too lazy for the S.E..

Stormtrooper11:
And that man is Generalissimo Kelechi Nwakali aka Jibola Adebola , I guess

Nope..

Just like you're seeing with Senegal Nempalys Mendy and Gueye starting

S.E needs Ndidi and Onyeka to always start with Bonke and Onyedika as subs. Then Aribo, Iwobi or Nwakali playing CAM.

Stormtrooper11:
But AFRICAN Cup of nations is the tournament. I thought the best across the continent should perform

When Russia hosted the world cup mainly Russian artistes performed..

It is a time to showcase the host country's culture and art, tourism e.t.c

Mujtahida:
Was disappointed no Nigerian artiste performer

The host country is not Nigeria so don't expect any Nigerian artiste to perform..

Alexxien:
try and smoke some weed; get high, weed really helps against glaucoma. If you have a doubt you can ask your doctor......May the Lord grant us the strength to accept the things we cannot Change.

Congrats on your sales. Great month ahead for us all.

Telling someone to smoke weed is terrible...

Weed can make someone go insane and lose 1 - 2 years worth of memory. Even if the person's insanity is treated, the person will never be able to recover their memories.

Don't ever advise anyone to smoke weed or drink alcohol or any other controlled substance..

Dailymice:
I always fantasized about sex and all but the most dreamt fantasy was sex with a big ass lady, when I finally fell to the temptation and cummed, I since detested lust and with God's Grace I have overcome..

No matter how the lust holds you, after sex with whoever you're fantasizing with, Sense naturally falls on you and you regret and repent.

Fornication is a sin y'all should repent From. And no lady is worth dying on top of

"Fornication is a sin" is an old form of population control used by the co:lonial thieves to prevent their colonies population from increasing in order to maintain control...

Even the colonial thieves themselves fornicated with people from their colonies...

Ni:gerian pastors and other religious people also fornicate...

So stop saying rubbish...

do4luv14:
I had to watch that Tunisia game again early this morning, around 2am, I replay that goal 3times, and from what I saw, it was not maduka faults, he go down low to save the ball, only for it to bounce in front of him, he could not use bot hands in reflex,

he even got a hand to the ball, but not strong enough to prevent it from going in,

And again it could had been 2-0, there is another shot he palmed over at full length, Maduka is young, he will come good, thing is we had a shirty goalkeeper coach, to inspire he and Uzoho

It was Okoye's fault... stop making excuses for him...

it could have been 3 - 0, Aina also cleared the ball off the line in what was another mistake by Maduka Okoye because he completely missed the ball...

S.E can't wait for Okoye to "come good", Okoye needs to be benched, he conceded 4 goals today, If S.E concedes first against Ghana then all Ghana has to do is defend and drag both matches... Is it until Ghana beats Nigeria 4 - 0 that you will admit that Okoye is not good enough for the S.E...

Apart from Okoye, Awoniyi does not work well with Eguavoen's tactics and must be benched, Chuks needs to be benched and replaced with Ejuke or Amoo..

Ihenacho must never play midfield if his not striking then he should be benched....

komekn:
Yes I agree with you without question.

One is playing and doing very well in the best league in the world in his second season.

And the other is just starting to see if he will play in a league rated 20 in Europe. Obviously no comparison at all.

your best league could not beat a league rated 20th in the Nations League in two legs.

komekn:
If it's on current form, Ademola Lookman is ahead of Chuks and Amoo is not on his level.

On current form, Ademola Lookman is not on Amoo's level...

Chuks should not even be mentioned at all due to his poor performance at the AFCON..

Amoo and Lookman don't play the same position so no one should be comparing both of them...

komekn:
In the Swedish league rated 23 in Europe.

Sorry not until he can do it in much more competitive league with better quality players.

Ndah plays in South African league and played with more confidence and calm than Ekong and others...

Luckily for the S.E you're not the coach and your opinion doesn't matter especially when it concerns Nigerian born players that you love to denigrate..
