he is too weak for men’s football. Hv had the opportunity to watch him play many times, Yes the talent and footballing intelligence is there but strength and agility is very poor for a midfield player of this era

I pray he works hard to maximize this opportunity cus after this I doubt any reasonable club in top European leagues will even look his way

Imagine a player like Onyeka after the burn out he had at the last afcon coupled with playing few mins for Brentford last season and in the beginning of this new season moved to Germany this summer and went straight into Augsburg’s starting 11

I remember some wanted him to bulk up during his time at Arsenal. I dunno. I dunno. Nobody deserves to go through all this anyway. I once watched a recovery routine for Onyeka and co. With all that build yet e dey affect them. How much more when you no dey bulked up or fast. Infact he should be faster as he's slim.

Well well.

Barnsley’s coach Darell Clarke on Nwakali


" Kelechi is a mile off right now, he needs to do what I’ve told him—get fitter, more high-speed distance running. It’s nothing I haven’t already said to him.” “He needs to improve in all areas, but we also understand he’s adapting to the English game and we’ll keep working with him"

Remember i said I'll stop taking the crew that recommend this guy seriously? These are basics that Akpom and Iwobi have learnt since days at Arsenal as teens. He's still struggling with these?

Good for him if improvement is drastic this season but the hype reallllly needs to die. He needs the Super Eagles MORE THAN the Super Eagles need him.


Any other shalaye-er dey waste their time abeg.

Usa thrice, alongside Germany and now, North Korea. Africa get talent but na that tactical aspect dey yeye efforts. Nigeria making Africa look good at these cadet competitions, male or female

mostob:
There was no similarity between what he said and Finidi statement.

The season Auba won the golden boot, how did the team fair anytime Auba is not available? Or on the day Auba didn't bring his scoring boot, how was our general performance?

Pray tell, how does clinicality work when it is a key metric of strikers and lethal forwards across the last 3 decades? It doesn't matter but you use it to analyze the same Auba that is an example? It is not Auba's fault that the team was still a WIP. He did what was required of him and that is just it. Asides tye fault out which i still blame him for, man did his own part and that's it.

Clinicality is very very important for any striker. Simple!!

germaphobe:
clinicality doesn't have anything to do with position on the pitch. Even when we had more traditional forward in Nketiah and a more proven striker in Jesus, Odegaard and Trossard were and is better finishers than them. Auba was good but he also misses chances like 2 or 3 and still scores 2 or 1 because the creativity was there. Ozil knew where to place the ball in front of goal when he needs to score than Auba, one is a AM while the other is a S. If we score 3 to 4 goals per match without a pure 9, why would I need one when we can use that resources to chanel in other areas? (This is my main argument).

This sounds something similar to Finidi George's 😆😆😆😆😆

Why will you say the boldened at all? The Auba you're talking about like this is the last to get golden boots for this club, twice and the last to score above 20. If he wasn't clinical enough, i will agree that even at that he wasn't at full potential then as he should be banging in 30+ then. We can agree on that?

Doesn't that buttress my stance, regardless of how many we keep scoring? What does this team need different from the last two seasons to make any flair, excellence and tenacity of City to Become 2nd or beaten at this long game?

A striker is one of that
Mature wingers in prime, not past prime.
Consolidation is all i need. Else we will keep doing things that has never been done before (wey dey sweet belle of some fans), but still measure up to 2nd best. I can't emphasize this enough.

germaphobe:
I don't know what other fans might be saying, but you're right. Spurs game, if our forwards were deadly enough, that match would have produced more goals for us. Against City I believe the late introduction of skelly tempered with the backline setting a bit.

If is what you used there. And I'm happy you used if.

If is probability. We can continue to use if till Game week 33 and then start wondering why we fall short. The technicality of a natural is way way different from what any of our forwards offer. A Fernando Torres moment was all we needed yesterday to make city cry in pains, but we have no striker. Allll our possession won from city at the left back spot where GM and Co were all ended up useless because GM doesn't have sense and 2ndly because that was the plan all through. We could have done better. Yes goalscoring may not be our problem, but a 9 will make us win games way way earlier and out of nothings and that's why I'll continue to demand for one. The fall out of Auba with MA is not going to make me overlook that.


If the fallout didn't happen and Auba was an integral part of consequent setups and we are still getting several goalscorers, that will be >>>> than now.

Who has seen the Rude Haaland clip? Omo Ben White wanted to go ballistic but Teta stopped him.

Just watched a clip of all the rough moves of Haaland on our players and he didn't get a warning or a card.


Besides, why is it always and only the corrupt Howard Webb that's in the studio to explain all these nonsense poor refereeing?

For our side, we need to end the time wasting antics, we don't need it. 5 games and 2 red cards is the last thing we need right now. We should be cunnier.

Haaland don dey act like Lucifer.

We still need a striker. Dedication is why no one wants to even focus on Kai for that game.

BlueRayDick:
Saliba na Giant .

That’s why he always “ katan lewon “ . It’s surprising how Saliba has that kinda physique and is still very very swift in his movements/markings .

Saliba is the kinda defender most strikers hate playing against . Only strikers like Ronaldo , Balotelli, Ibrahimovic etc can really eat vs Saliba steadily .

I guess that's why he no fit ever play rough or bully. Na dem dey bully am.😆😆😆

I pray we see more of Cali goal. Na xhaka dey do that kine thing well. We too like dey enter box abeg.

Spy360:
When you see a well drilled team it's the manager.

Can we all now accept that Arteta was right about not needing a striker?

Three tough away games and we almost came out with 9points.

Without our best player Odegaard for two of those games.

Arteta deserves his flowers

You're super hilarious and on a Monday to say this. Guyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

No be only flowers. Na plant. Early in the season and you're still on this No striker stance!??

I lost count of the crosses City resorted to when they could find no loop to exploit again. It was sweet how alert Gabriel was in particular. Those Gundogan chance would have won the game for city in the 1st half. But I'll need more shots from outside henceforth. That Califiori goal dey sweet me likeeeee......

Gabu and Saliba tall pass Haaland ni.

No friendlies for us to even test all newbie team

Na this time we suppose dey line up such. I hate the thinking process of nff all the way. Sport administrators in Latvia>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

9 key saves but no bonus points for Raya? This FPL na scam for good goalkeepers abeg.

Next game na Bolton. I'll know Arteta is full of crap if Ethan doesn't start that game. Pgmol weldone o, we dey see una consistency. The rules dey bend like crayfish 3very game

Shegzdave:
We move jaweee bro

Hopefully we have a better outing at Emirates. Infact this game should be used to plug in allll loops, especially for Kai. His passes were poor all game. His running is his forte in this team right now. But he gave his all and that's what i commend.

Shegzdave:
The red card really pained Me…
Martinelli tried with the defense today, it’s one thing that helps him since he’s been playing shit all this while but Jesu is one player I want us to see out of the club with his rubbish play

E kon be like Pep go look for GJ lookalike in Savinho abi Savio. Guy offers nothing.

I'll want Arteta to work on this off ball incidents that causes controversy. Rice that week, Jesus this week. We don't need all that. The cards are getting swift and soft these days. Any little thing, card don comot pocket.

iamoyindamola:
4 points from spuds and shitty away
Both could have been lost

Raya and Gvardiol today lasan

4 shots from the guy all were saved. That guy is a super decisive player mehn. He no dey delay to shoot.

What happened to Saliba today? Kon be like na Gabriel get this season.

Shegzdave:
Martinelli might be shit these days but you see this match, he helped defensively but you see that fake Jesus, he should just getat

That is all that he seems to be contributing to this team this season. Up front, piunnnnn. I hated the cheap dispossession by Walker. I also wished we gunned for 1 PK. I dunno why we no sabi that aspect since last season. Chei

Shegzdave:
Yeah bro and the boys gave their all , they were too tired
The last minute equalizer seems like a win to city

This match is a double headed one for opinions. You can't but commend the guys for playing out their souls. You also can't but vex for some useless displays by the Brazilians up front.

They were glad for that equalizer mehn. Especially Haaland. We locked up the wings and i told someone we are lucky Rodri no dey
They're also lucky that Saka was removed early, the red card and then most important, no 9 to punish that their attack-minded defense.

Shegzdave:
This draw felt like a loss

It did. Especially seeing how jubilant they were.

Plus we just gave up on attacking. I was praying for a Torres vs Barca moment but we were bent on bus parking

We've truly come a long way mentally wise. This was not expected at all.

Asides all i want to say, I'll handpick Martinelli and GJ. Both of them should getat. All our getting possession back fell to GM and he lost all the possession to Walker

Arteta should pls not be wasting a spot in the XI abeg. Abeggg

Up next u17. Let's see what we got.

Philosopher1979:
Moses simon will enter into many teams. He does the simple things the right way and is more consistent. Chukwueze is hailed as very talented but he is too inconsistent. Ademola lookman is just a more consistent and intelligent version of him. Moses simon with his average talent will bench chukwueze in many teams. That's the truth. Chukwueze has been given opportunities and he needs to take them. Moses simon will create a chance, defend well, mark and be dangerous on the ball. He may get up to 100 international caps because of his effectiveness

A wane in recruitment caused this imo. Cause why will he still be starting under different managers? AC Milan tax?

When last did any NPFL team go this Fifa Club WC sef?

These guys dunno that's the big big stage of cash out that can last a decade ni? Smh. Na transfer fres to latvia dem sabi pass. Since 2005 abi when sef. Pikin don turn fresher for uni sef.

teeshet:
I still prefer chukwueze to simon because he is potentially dangerous in attack than the latter who is average

Just by decisionmaking near 25yards to goal, Simon>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Defending? Simon
Pressing? Simon again
Both are inching closer to be replaced but for now, Simon.

charlesemeka85:
nawaooo 🤦‍♀️

The best highlights of Chuckwueze in GWG recently is jumping on the shoulders of the goalscorers. Only a substitution denied us that highlight.

Try every spirit.
Wolves want to be sheep
Foxes want to eat their cake and have it
Dark demon wants to be a bright shiny angel
Discernment should be the most important spiritual gift in the Nigerian Christians sphere right now and this is no exaggerating.

That show inspired my nephew to want to appear on that show and he began to be a current affairs guru. He's in UI but the show is no more. That Show was also a PR for suitable African universities that viewers from other countries could want to gain admission into. My regard for Kenyatta came from the Zain African Challenge.


Nobody wants to do anything again. Smh

I gree up with PZ Cussons products in our home, just like millions of other Nigerians. We'll take their pack covers and read the details and etc.

Now they're about to leave because of evil and corrupt leadership. If it is choking companies and manufacturers like this, how much more Nigerians, the consumers.

I am in the industry as a PM(production manager) many male actors take alot of hard drugs and toxic drinks just to gain confidence on camera maybe that is wat is happening to them now

In other words, to see "clean act" that doesn't need all these nonsense to face camera na the exception. Like a similar situation to the music industry. Smh.
This is terrible. Not like I don't know but i didn't want to believe it was that bad. I guess i have to las las.

See as permutations full grand solely because of Odegaard injury. Pep go lose KDB laidis and na still we Arsenal fans go dey fear playing City. That says alot about how City are loaded. We'll ger there soon.
