I'm sure you were one of those that scoffed at those that labeled Messi the next Maradona. Oya tell me why Trae Young cannot be the next Steph Curry or what was present in Steph's game in his second season that Trae Young is lacking

Gimme one reason I'll wait.
Oga, its Still too early. Simple

Okay, who has signed and who's thinking about it?
I hope you will be this loud at the end of the season. Just after a few games and you're rushing to conclusions.

It seems you're still pained by their wins and dominance over the last 5 years.

If we look purely at how both players have started their careers then it can be argued that Trae Young has been better, especially if we evaluate from the back end of last season to this point.

The argument is not if Trae is as good as Steph yet but the trajectory is there. Their games are similar and do bear in mind that Steph didn't make the playoffs until his 4th season albeit playing in a tougher conference
Oga, this is sports. You know today but not tomorrow. What if he develops a career threatening habit (drugs) or develops and injury he can't come out of (like derrick Rose). Its too early to compare both abeg...

What is your problem man? you seem to be pained that the GSW got a win. No body claims GSW is an elite team, we understand we are gonna be having a tumultuous season, you don't have to keep reminding us.
The dislike is just unnecessary. They won't focus on their teams. Their days are never complete without referring to GSW. I guess when you are a true champion, everyone just wants a go at you

Illiterates. The man said 'Like you did for Joseph' If God grants you such favour is it corruption? or just favour. The same people groaning are the ones who either pay bribe to curry favour or tell that their rich uncle to 'fix' them in a comfy job.



JUST LIKE JOSEPH.
How was Joseph FIxed bros?

Did you read the bible with understanding?

Joseph was made prime minister because he was the only one in the entire Nation able to solve a problem that other wise men couldn't solve. A problem that gave the king sleepless nights. He offered real value that impacted millions of people not just in Egypt alone but other parts of the world. He used his good given skills for good and refused to compromise his integrity. He also suffered a lot of persecution.

So bros, it wasn't given to him on a platter like the prayer suggests

People should allow the church to do things their own way.


And the bible says that the canal man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God for they're foolishness unto him.

1cor-2:14.
Oga, the same bible says that the hands of the diligent brings forth wealth and he that works with a slack hand becomes poor. Organisations promote those that will offer more value.

It pays to work hard. If you really understand your bible, all great men and women of faith were hard workers. David was prepared under fire by the dangers in the wilderness, Esther prepared herself for one night by working for a whole year, What of Daniel and Joseph?? The list goes on and on bros.

That is how you people talk here. Once someone's opinion is different from popular opinion, then it is either the person doesn't watch football or is not knowledgeable about it. Has it occurred to you that people will always see things differently?

The same way I warned you guys about Mikel and was seen as a hater. The rest they say is history. I will be watching and waiting as usual

All of our attacks were centered around Iwobi.. Every counter had Iwobi involved, He was pivotal to the good things we did that day.

There are other players who did well but Iwobi to me was the best player that day.
Not true at all

Lets be a little objective and reasonable here, guys. Iwobi has been nothing but a consistent flop back to back with little flash in the pan. This is a boy who is saddled with the responsibility of orchestrating the Eagles attack ,yet he can barely hold a ball for more than 1 second just because he lacks the stamina, the skill and confidence to man up and face his fears. We have continued to play that misery of an attacking midfielder just because we are short in supply and now you guys want to bring the school boy dada from Queen Park Ranhers to come and continue the mockery. This is just too painful.
If you want to play Iwobi do so because you have no better option because of your incompetence in finding a decent attacking midfielder in a country of over 170 million people. You guys have been crawling all over the place begging, crying and wailing to convince a crappy little nigga from England to come play for you. Its getting to the point where 70% of our senior team will be dominated by little weak niggaz from England...these intruders will adversely affect the style of our play. You guys are not seeing the big picture.
Very soon super eagles will start playing like bunch of init sissies from England....wake up guys. Why must we beg for everything, black men! And those boys will end up marrying white bitches and give their wealth to the Europeans. None of them will marry a Nigerian woman,none. They are inferiors!!
The part of your writeup I agree with

This is a big relief. We can't put our hope on an inconsistent player. Soon some players will come to matches with mattress and blankets. I no get time for immature back and forth.
This is the summary of all my essays since. Tomorrow now, when he fails to show up in an important match, the same people that praised him will castigate him severely

Only the Aribo pass is relevant to the conversation. Now mention another thing he did for someone to say he was the best player on the pitch? Anybody who says that goal wasn't all about Samuel Kalu is running off of sentimental diesel grin
You can imagine them giving credit to iwobi while forgetting the work that Samuel Kalu put in for that goal. Now who are the biased ones??

Ramon Azeez really showed himself for Granada in their last match. He definitely is the much talked about competition for Iwobi.

He killed off more attacks than he created. This is a player I really like but he was not good against Ukraine.
Thanks bros. You are not been sentimental like the others. If we watch matches with an open mind, we will see that Iwobi only starts because there are no replacements tbh

My friend I think you are being very inconsiderate. Against Ukraine, our midfield flopped immediately Iwobi was substituted. During the African Nations Cup, Iwobi controlled our midfield very well. Even in his club, in the penultimate game played at Everton, he did provide assists. I do not know what else you want my man. Yes, he is not a world class player but he continues to pull his weight no matter where he goes. This is evidence by him becoming a first team player in Everton after 2 games on transfer from Arsenal.
Bro, you seem not to understand my point of view.

I am not expecting him to play like his uncle JJ Okocha or to score like coutinho, he just needs to be more reliable

Iwobi is too inconsistent to be our major AM.

He has only one goal and one assist in 10 games since joining everton. If we want to be truthful to ourselves, we need a better and more consistent AM. I am not singling him out for criticism but it is a disaster that the only AM we currently have in the SUPER EAGLES (capitalised for emphasis) is not consistent

He does his job as a 10 well, which is to create chances and carry the ball to your forward players as quick as possible. He might not be a fancy ball hugging kind of player but he's very efficient. Modric that is a balloon d'Or winner, how many assists does he have ? But modric is rated because he does the simple things efficiently and transition the attacks very well
I agree with you that we don't need a JJ Okocha but are you saying that Iwobi created chances that were squandered by our forwards?

Which last 4 matches re u talking about? Iwobi was one of our best players at the last afcon, against Ukraine he was immense.

He has been among the few shining lights in Everton this season n had a good game against westham. I doubt if u watch Everton games at all.

How many goals hv eriksen scored for spurs this season? Does that mk him a bad player?

All of us here know Iwobi not to be prolific in front of goal but he has qualities that made everton spend 30m on him. His link up play, vision and work rate is top notch.

Iwobi was among players in the epl last term that created more chances and the stats re there for u check.
I don't need him to score goals. At least an assist every two matches isn't a bad idea. Iwobi is inconsistent and unreliable. The reason I am hammering on this is because he seems to be our only AM at the moment and thus when he has his bad days, it affects the whole team. This isn't good for the Super Eagles.

This new story line for her is rubbish. Let's get back to her being an amazing surgeon and living happily ever after (Must bad things always happen to her??) And when will the transplant surgeon comes back into the picture and confesses his unending love? I am not feeling this season yet, honestly.

Complacent because he underperformed against Brazil? Give the kid a break. Players do hv on n off days on the pitch.

Na so una go call for Aribo head any day wey em no play up to the standard he has been known of since his debut.

Na for this same thread I hear say ekong no be good defender while ndidi no Sabi pass ball.

Bros shun abeg!
He underperformed in the last 4 matches for us. Even in his club, when last has he scored a goal or given as assist. I am being objective here please.

To think he is the only AM we are relying on now is a damn shame

And at the bolded, I will continue to say my mind and give my opinion irrespective of whether anyone is rude to me or not. It's my own opinion and I am entitled to it whether it pains certain people or not

If he continues like this, I see him displacing Iwobi and putting undecided Ebere Eze to shame. This guy would not need "red carpet"or "begging" to play for us.
