I guess the bolded should be applied to you
You're one of the most respected sport analyst here but your politics is diminishing your sense of reasoning and argument coz lately most of claims are not backed up with facts
Why is It that when people have contrary views with you you tagged them as kom-menion but when you home boy was busy telling us how zuby and agu was better than Ndidi you were so mute that i was wondering if you're still in this thread or not ...had it been it was komekn that was telling us how Luke Amos was better than ndidi probably you would come fierce at him like an hungry lion

I made a very simple preposition I said nacho is not technically astute...I gave a definition of what it means to be technically astute ( the definition is not self birthed I went online to get the definition )

A technical player is a player has excellent ability on the ball, a good-looking player in possession, with the ability to buy themselves time and space due to their skill manipulating a football, working it in tight areas and improvising with their strong technique to solve problems in the game as they arise. They are players of strong touch, skill and imagination.( I'll like to show me instance where Nacho has exhibited one of these or probably know for one of these )

I moved on by giving instances where Guradiola had to drop him for better technical player like sterling
Nacho was dropped coz he wasnt technically proficient like sterling I gave instance where messi was played as a No.9 this shows Guardiola love for technical no. 9
If your nacho was that techically astute why would Guardiola sell himhuh

I will implore you not to let prejudices blind your sense of reasoning.
If in doubt, this was the paragraph that show that while in a bid to prove no technicality, you ended up proving it exist, but is not enough, which already counters your initial stance. Pheewww!!

Usage of "if your nacho was that technically astute" and "drop him for technically better player" already settles what you tryna discredit.

All these are trash and belongs to the bin I didn't even bother to read those epistle
The main koko of the matter is show us how nacho is technically astute simple !!! Which one be long epistle to ri oloun I gave mine in my previous post and you countered it you have been saying shit since morning not even a point to counter it ....
Or is this new nerdy factor ;evasion from question??
In your own post, you used the word "better technical astute player" for the person that dropped Nacho to the bench. You did. That means for this argument on ground, he is not technical enough, but needs to get better. And to me, that ends all these talk. He is!!! in your own words.

Barnsley and Fleetwood have something in common.


Then since that's the road we want to go down, then the yardstick of hype and praise should be extended to Iwobi more. Afterall he's even coming back from a knock. Shebi we want to do it na. Oya na.

His assist sef was Ozil-esque!!

Very Technically Astute and positional awareness to get that superb goal.

I'm telling you. Maybe he finally did some private works on his shooting. Iwobi is someone that do gets into dangerous positions but only let down by his weak shots.
exactly. Twas too evident. Now imagine a SE player dedicate time to Fk speciality...

Una don see am say iwobi Dey ancelotti plans right ?

And yes not as a starter and I think it’s because of James Rodriguez

Subzero will will have nothing to say about this till iwobi will have a bad game cheesy
Lol

After the goal happened, i saw the reaction from the bench and its one of acknowledging that indeed, Iwobi gat it. Hopefully he features him more. Richarlison has an understanding with Alex, just by that link up.

If we are top 20 by Qatar 2022 we have a very good chance of going to the knockout stages
QF go sure wella. Our Bredas set the latest standard. We should set the new one. And i go pray make these Noisy North African Giants rep us well and go to the KO stages. I doubt they've been unlucky always. Its alwayd been West Africa for a while.

EPL TBT: Yakubu Aiyegbeni, EPL still remembers his class act.

Courtesy of @premierleague:

#OnThisDay in 2011 ➡️ @Rovers 4-3 Arsenal

Yakubu's debut double secured a comeback win in 7-goal thriller.

The video highlights...

His quick interview after his brace "downed" the Gunners...

In conclusion, we will always remember that 2010 WC miss. Football is both beautiful and cruel. Lol... But the Yak was indeed a class striker.
That 1st goal of his.....



He belongs to those generation of strikers that knew where the post was. No need to look. Then WC happened. Chai.

I no watch this match that year. As they tell me say Song do og.... I happy say i no watch am. Na for Complete Sports SE abroad i read highlights las las.

Staying and fighting may no longer be an option given the facts that Ancelloti might still sign a winger and Everton are willing to sell him off...
If he decides to stay,his game time will be very limited ...
I just feel he is not dispensable yet. Especially if its from the middle pa Carlo plan to use him. Doesn't look good for him sha.

Crystal palace/Fulham/Brighton and Holve Albion somewhere like that. He can have a decent career in a small team.
Some people can't handle the pressure playing for an ambitious side, maybe he's that kind of person.
Lol, you say somewhere like that.


I think he'd wana fight for his place. He can even play alongside James. But he needs to take it all to the next level with Project Ancelotti.....

The aim is to upset the top 6. Iwobi should be useful to that cause to me. Kets see sha

Growing up those days, the sitting room was never big enough for us to celebrate a goal. We usually ran out into the passage way and run back in again grin grin grin grin grin

Some times we even ran out of the house if it was a BIG GOAL. grin grin grin grin

How many can relate grin
I can


We lived at the 5th flatin a 6flat Abesan Estate. We normalized running down the stairs to the down floor to join people to celebrate a goal, then run back up with our funny accents, drink water. Sit back again. My bro always slept off b4 full time. Not cos the game was boring, but cos the exercise was...... grin



Imagine hearing a whole estate chorusing Goaaaaaaallll together.
