You are being assumptive, I did not use one game to make any conclusion, CHAI ! ! !

Football is like psychology there are more probabilities than conclusions albeit informed probabilities.

This is why last seasons super star can be this season flop. Consider Sanchez outstanding at Arsenal a big flop at United.

But I deviate, l looked at V.O. attributes that have given him great success so far.

I reiterate, pace, blind determined relentless raging attack. He is physical but not overly ,( wouldn't call him a muscle head) good aerial ability and finishing. However , guile, trickery sublime skill and technical ability are not his attributes.

The EPL is extremely fast and physical much more so than Seria A, French league one and the Belgium league. For him to thrive at a top 5 EPL club he will need more.

He is well known now, do you know that clubs have access to hours of footage of individual players and they prepare meticulously covering every detail. It's quite normal for individual players to go analysts and say give me 2 hours on V.O.

My view is simplistic , which is what he experienced in his two games against Liverpool is a precursor to what he will find week in week out playing in the EPL. But with greater expectations, as a top goal scorer from Seria A.

I think you're assumptive rather.

The attributes you mentioned are enough to make way in the EPL. He doesn't have to be a Mo Salah or Harry Kane in his first season.


Regardless of that angle, he has just what it takes right now to play EPL.

Aspa shining beyond expectation, that's his homework to do. He knows that too. Very much.

This pool is filled with poteuax right now. The formalities are what many are obsessed with. Or let me say, they think the show and fanfare is the koko. They forget the values needed to make it work. Many are mentally deficient and they don't even seek help, so their spouse bears such burden.


Lastly, many no sabi put God for centre. There are many that do so and are doing absolutely well with whatever storm they are going through.

Once again in your emotions get the better of you.

What's the fastest and most physical league as well as competitive league in the world, The EPL.

Haaland is an enigma with a skill set that is made for the EPL , he is a true number 9. He can even be more physical in the EPL than the Bundisliga. In addition I've never seen a 6"5' player with his acceleration.

I didn't make any deduction, just that V.O. will require more to succeed in the EPL. He has played two games against a not on top of their game Liverpool and failed to score.

But that's not particularly relevant, it was the way he got checked, bodied and locked by a Konate that was interesting.

V.O. is the most aggressive, relentlessly determined, hot headed with rage I know. However, Konate just poured ice cold water on him and he couldn't do much. Those attributes that have given him great success in Seria A and French one may not be enough in the EPL. That's objective appraisal not emotive preference and favouritism.

To use your proposition of sentiment, Saka, Martinelli, Mitrovic, Awoniyi , Sancho, Rashford have all scored against against Liverpool. Why not therefore Haaland and V.O.

All these players used guile, trickery , technique and skill and with Awoniyi plain good luck to score.

These are not the attributes of V.O. he needs to find another way IF he wants to thrive in the EPL.

Chai. I want to understand your angle. But Konate has quieted some good strikers in EPL and got rounded up by small boys in the same league. Add unknown regulars. If we are to use 1 game to conclude abilities, then even RVP and Rooney will be nobodies today.

Nunez is still upcoming. I very well want to assume you saw the number of articles written about if he can fo it in the EPL? He is still adapting till now. For VO, he personally knows he will need to up his game if he gets to the EPL. And that he can't do alone either. So no need to make a fuss about it? He is climbing that ladder and i don't see him stopping. You can't deny the effort isn't there since he returned from injury. When EPL comes, anything can happen. But he will get through. That i believe.

lovewins:
Yes he did.

If I remember correctly, he was the one who insisted that the potential manager's pool be widened, after the NFF had initially settled for Pesiero, since the FG was going to be responsible for their renumeration.

I still think though that the NFF shouldn't rely on the FG for coach's salary. The Super Eagle's brand ideally should be big enough attract the needed brands to cater for salaries and player's allowances. The guys at the NFF are just so incompetent no brand worth its salt will want to associate with them.

Sometimes i wish i can see the sheets of how the financials from brands over the last decade looks like. Incompetence is the CEO in that place.

BascoVanVeli:
There is VAR in the Women’s Champions League.

I believe there will be VAR in the group stage of the men's one.

Seriously? Now i have more reason to doubt it. Cos those incidents??

Kroos no wan rest. Make our boys break these ranks na

Nice game.

A splendid celebration of life to you chairman. Cheers all the way!!

So there is a CAF competition for secondary schools too?...
Hearing this for the first time sha

The matter just taya me.

It's totally embarassing that this reflects how bad the Glass House is so far. Peseiro owed his salaries too.

Ordinary arranging of Secondary school students na wahala.


We need a revamp in this deadbeat sector. Na to dey snap upandan like politicians dem sabi.

200m??

We really have a long way to go as regards organization and setting up structures and blueprints.

They better win the next tie vs Sundowns. Nothing special about them. Looks like they got more shots at Dlamini than Super Falcons did vs South Africa at Wafcon.

So this Alima Attervall no see 2mins play?

solonnachi:
But why do Nigerian teams lose their first matches in tournament and been friendlies?

Culture!
We always never really come firing from all cylinders. If you study the set/teams that did win, they usually had a better coach. Our media has played its part by using this to excuse lack of adequate preparation and proper, technical input into the squad.

For this BQ losing tonight, they showed some brilliance, but i won't be surprised if they got no data whatsoever to outsmart MS style of play(which they maintain since last season). These things no hard, but

We can never be our best with such football culture. Times have moved ahead. We need to catch up. Especially the Transition aspect.

“I’m very happy. I gave my all for the team and I gave my all to keep the ball out. My team is so important to me. We practised penalties together and I focused very hard so I could save them.”

Wetin i wan tok sef? Glad they got a podium finish.

AkinDS:
Old mama in retirement league.
Boring.

i hope the old mama 10 we have currently won't sha be benching the younger ones under guise of experience?

codemaniacs:
Style of play, positioning, passing and the time to start making substitutions, passing in the opponents half of the field e.t.c are what they should be working on..

Oliseh has foreign coaching license and he made the Super Eagles worse and caused problems amongst the players.

You've said it well.

Right now, one aspect of Falcons game dey fear me. And that is the defense and midfield cohesion. Long balls won't help us at this mundial. If they can't formulate a way to transit using each other, na big Shege dey load. We may have good legs in both sections, but if a system is not in place, alongside the discipline and the tact.....

codemaniacs:
NFF and Nigeria has to invest in coaching and playing possession football..

Pushing and encouraging coaching license courses abroad till it becomes the norm. We need it on CVs. Then style of play again. We had none in this competition.

Sincere question


Can the SF get this kind of GD at the upcoming Mundial?

GF-5

After 3games.

Amedino99:
wallahi if I see another person talk say we get loaded talents for our team i fit find that person go house. Talents wey no dey useful for national team. which kind yeye talent be that. Normally by this time we suppose don dey announce fifty man list for world cup make forgiveness don start to dey shout tribalism and corruption based on team list wey drop.

You still use style add forgiveness inside


African Pep do this one. Plus foolish and archaic leaders. To set rules na wahala. To do long term thing na Wakanda. Dey don turn am to political style where predecessor will do one thing, and successor will just come and change it instanta.

Ppogbae:
This was echoed for the last two iterations. Let's just wait until the actual tournament to make conclusions

I conceed to this.

do4luv14:
I think it's same reason our Flamingos lost out, after receiving all bonuses, they were promised 5k dollars each, if they win the semi final

5k!!

I never got wind of this though. Too terrrible.

Smh.


Funny enough, for girls their level, 5k na big money. Yet dem dey do like watery frog for pk.

mostob:
500K per goal bro.... Money is now being used as motivation. SMH

Like, just imagine. Is it that bad? Are we indirectly admiting our football prowess is now absolutely dependent on this?


Funny thing is they fit lose now. Cos everyone go wan score

elyte89:
I don’t want to agree with dis phrase again of loaded with talents,7years of no football identity is a big no for me

The last decade has been horrible truly. But what we are seeing on individual level is a good thing (not the NT level o. We never gel on that aspect to be a force yet)

Our hands are so loaded with talents right now that we should be favourites for this Afcon trophy. Almost all positions in attack got double and equally lethal reps.

I pray for days where our football is no longer dependent on money as motivation to beat an opponent in the KO stages of a continental or World event.


I pray for days where it is not a big deal for the players in cadet competition seeing their FA president traveling all the way as ginger.


I really pray those days come


So Olympic boiz got 500k from SE captain as motivation? Anyway, it's the current state of things. Just hate that it is now the format. The MO. The Way.

Garnacho just need talk from ororo his idol.

Napoli will go far in this UCL. Looks less competitive this season. Dunno why it looks that way to me.

AkinDS:
Looking likely that Demehin, Imuran and Abiodun would make the squad.

I pray. I do pray. Flourish? I think we need her.

Empty barrel naim make noise pass.


All? Eeyah.
