BascoVanVeli:
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

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??

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

It won't be bad if ROhr tries him out in that position

Kalapizim:
WHAT is iwobis goal return for Nigeria since you care about his role as an AM for us ?

Go and find out yourself. Since you're on Nairaland, it means that you have access to data and internet. Okay??

BascoVanVeli:
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

chidi1:
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

timay:
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?

charlesemeka85:
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.

tbaba1234:
This is objectively false. You do not even have to go far. Iwobi was the best player on the pitch against Ukraine

Hahahahaha. Okay oooooo

Please, you guy should check this show out: Ëvil"

Grey's Anatomy S16 Ep5

I am beginning to hate the story line for Meredith, like what happened to the world class surgeon she is? And why is Shonda so hell bent in throwing her in jail. like i don't get. 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.

Is it your love for Gey's anatomy that made you name yourself Calliope? I am just wondering oooo

Na wa for this thread

charlesemeka85:
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

charlesemeka85:
Lol displacing Iwobi ko!

See ehn, I want the Super Eagles to succeed just as much as anybody here does. However, I feel Iwobi is becoming too complacent in the team and anybody who shows consistency and can play same position should be given a chance

gamaliel9:
I think SINCERE SETH will add value to u23 defense

How Sir?

The guy is strongly built oooo....like a high budget Moses Simon...HE PLAYS AS AN ATTACKING MIDFIELDER...What we have been looking for......

I know this was just highlights, but I am impressed with his agility and skill.

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.

BascoVanVeli:
Yes and[b] Eze is a big lad[/b]. Could be a threat in the air with his height.

Wrong. He is 5'9 mostly. He is of average height

Eartquake1:
These guys make their choice from childhood, no amount of red carpet rolling or visitations will change their mind

We can only tidy our processes and make ourselves more attractive

Abi.

More like tidy up our country. To be frank, Naija no get good brand at allllllll

Eartquake1:
Hope you know that our begging process has resulted to 0 result, 0!

Iwobi, Aina had no choice and the host of Ekong, Balogun and Ajayi had no chance with England and Germany

If we could have gotten those players without begging then why are we?

Cc Tbaba1234

I agree with you on this. In fact, I don't think we should be visiting any foreign born to convince him to play for us. England doesn't do that yet these players are killing themselves to play for England (notwithstanding the economy difference between us and them).

If you want to rep Naija, you won't need too much prodding. I'm tired of small boys using us to increase their clout on social media.

Eartquake1:
Dude you're judging from one U17 match?

Oga, Many was there for our last two ttiymphs and the boys played good football. Algeria's coach for the AFCON wasn't there for 3 years yet they won it with similar calibre of players to ours.

I like Rohr for his man management skills and good (unbiased) team selection but that is all he has going for himself. I wonder the excuse he will give after AFCON 2021.

Eartquake1:
Humility017 will start to clamor for his invitation to the SE because there's a 'fujita' in his name

Hahahaha. Leave him alone na. Its his way of seeing things which cannot always be the same with every other person

Eartquake1:
We have 23 Nigerian players in Brazil

Focus on them

That doesn't mean we can't appraise other players as well

Eartquake1:
Manu what? Are you joking?

The only reason I don't want Many as Super Eagles coach is corruption and other criminal activities that seem to be inherent in all Local coaches. Apart from that, he seems better tactically and technically than Rohr and his assistants.

CD Leganes Interim Coach Gives Reasons Why Omeruo Was Dropped From Matchday

Kenneth Omeruo was surprisingly dropped from CD Leganes matchday squaSquad d when they faced RCD Mallorca on Saturday though the Nigeria international was pictured undergoing training with his teammates a day before the meeting at Municipal de Butarque.

Leganes interim manager Luis Cembranos lined up with two central defenders in Dimitrios Siovas and Unai Bustinza, a departure from the tactics of ex-coach Mauricio Pellegrino, who usually played with three center backs.

Explaining why Omeruo and Moroccan Youssef En-Nesyri were not in the squad vs Mallorca, Cembranos told reporters post-match : ''I have chosen the best eighteen. It wasn't just the physical, the technical and the tactical. It was also the mental.

''I have tried to select the best to compete and suffer today, to be closer to getting a victory.

“We have taken a step forward, convincing ourselves, believing a little more in what we are doing. It is an important turning point to continue growing as a team. Let's see where we get.''

Siovas suffered an injury against Mallorca and it remains to be seen if Chidozie Awaziem, who came off the bench to replace the Greek defender in the last game, will be picked over Omeruo when Leganes face Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Meaning Omeruo isn't a technical defender?

chukwunedum150:
Do you think Milner will make Man City starting XI

He may not but will definitely make the bench.

I feel guardiola was too hasty in selling him. He could have covered up for them now that they have injury woes. He is a utility player

TheSuperNerd:
Japan, France and Nigeria say hi.

Japan.... Hmmmmm....a long shot

I will go with Naija after Brazil. I feel the boys will get better with each game

alekside:
No, they are not crap.

Don't bother quoting certain statements bro.

Same Henderson equalized yesterday and Milner got us a goal and assist against Leicester.

I guess Klopp is really dumb to be fielding crappy players.

I just tire....

Brazil are the favorites to win the U-17 WC and they most likely will

safarigirl:
This is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth

Na una sabi ooo

safarigirl:
Kelechi has also scored freekicks, he's quality.

I remeber when Naby Keita was also a point last season, and it was because of his injury that he got pitied.....Pepe has no such excuse, and Arsenal doesn't have time.

Okay oooo.

I don't hear. The argument self son tire me. And I'm not even an Ivorian.

Icon4s:
I am very sure if it were a Nigerian player that was bought for even half that amount and has performanced the way he has you would not be defending him like this.

Because he is Nicholas Pepe we should allow him to spend the same number of seasons as Iwobi before doing a comparison between both players. Good Lord of host!

Oga, at least leave him till January. Simple

andrew444:
Because say ronaldo dey score pk or wetin, go check ronaldo clean goals make you see

Go and also check Pepe's clean goals make you see as well

andrew444:
Iwobi will start if klopp where to manage arsenal, unless someone better is there to bench him, dont make it look like arsenal got mane or salah there, its still the same klopp that give arnold a chance same klopp bought an average robertson and made him better so what makes you think he will not play iwobi? if dem tell you say robertson go pursue moreno you no go believe

I can give you average players klopp started at a good dortmund team

You are just against iwobi and you cant hide it, you know how to call players average but look at how you are defending pepe, SMH

I'm not against the lad. I have my opinion and so do you. Iwobi can't press and I doubt he can learn to. He looks to babyish on the ball and will tire easily. He may learn under guardiola though if he buckles down

andrew444:
Abeg no call ronaldo here

I'm not calling Ronaldo. I'm not comparing him to Ronaldo wither. I'm just countering an argument with a fact. Please read carefully
