Danielnino00:
you get it jare..

Football is a team work...one player can put in a lot of efforts, but "singlehandedly" is a strong word!

Na so forgiveness talk say Moses singlehandedly won Nigeria the AFCON and Chelsea the EPL and Europa league

Maradona days are kinda over.

Kbs468:
Guess who is this below

Guen disowns Father Luiz. Lol

Danielnino00:
It means the same thing in football..
To say Pulisic singlehandedly helped Chelsea finish 4th means that the goals Tammy,Giroud,Willian, etc scored were of no importance..

We can even say Kepa single-handedly made Chelsea finish 4th, just from behind. Those goals no be here.


But that would be an insult to Rudiger, Zouma, Azpili, Christensen. And insult from behind, double reference.

TheGoodJoe:
I think that intensity in his play is what manu miss. I am blown away any time i watch Richarlison take those runs round the pitch.

However, I will like to see what Ancelotti will do with respect to directing his forward play and increasing his conversion rate. Because, sometimes Richarlison can be all over the place.

That work rate is stunning. He'd make a perfect attack partner for Vardy if he was at Leicester. And then even have less defending to do again. Meaning, more goals involvement.

Edopesin:
While Richarlison has great work rate, his defensive actions are not needed in a team that press. Asides Kovacic, I don't think any other player was more involved in counter attack buildup than Pulisic for Chelsea last season

As a forward Pulisic is a better player

Not needed? How? Even Ancelotti was once seen beckoning to him where to stay while defending. So its definitely needed.

Philosopher1979:
Samuel Kalu, etebo can take free kicks

Are they so good that if they stand behind one, Nigerians already believe its in the net? They are not dangerous takers. No threat whatsoever.

jihday:
I disagree, during the last Afcon we scored twice from corner kick. Do you think it's by sheer luck?

Freekicks is the focal here na. And then in such a way that its part of why they are relevant, even at their clubs. Its almost zero for the SE on this front.

enomakos:
our boys are so lazy and lack ambition, it is just about the money
I use to bash Mikel daily when he was at Chelsea for not learning even freekick for this team mates that were expert at it

Its worrisome o. Very.

See defenders in EPL stepping up to contest fks with superb freekick takers and they are likely to score more. Not this usual luck fk thing, but part of their technical abilities...... I dunno who needs to sound this bell o. Cos its not good atall.



I do study our opponents when SE eants to take a setpiece of freekicks, they don't really bother much. Like they know its no good. SE don't know they study our clips too ni?


I hope the new boys change this fading ability. We need it badly.


That Mikel own sef.... (hesitates)

forgiveness:
And who told you Pulisic doesn't have these attributes?

Pulisic doesn't even defend like Richarlison. Yet Richarlison can recover so fast to be in an attacking position that Pulisic would be before a counter and still impact the attack.

Numberd favour Pulisic tho. But better? Naaaah

andrewbaba44:
The English coaches has always been bias when it comes to selection

I hope the boiz wey full my club, Arsenal get sense if atall they really want an international career. Its their choice tho. Seeing how Ings is treated should send signals to them. All the best.


When i saw Grealish as winger, naik i know say Southgate na Carpinta.


Once again, Bravo to Rohr. At least he knows what he's doing.

Spy360:
Nna see hope, motivation and inspiration .

Arteta daalu o

Its time. City had their chance severally. If we had KDB, we'd have done better, that i believe.

mostob:
toor! . Wembley ,our second home.

komekn:
Do you mean players born and bred in Nigeria with reference to the bold❓

Because that does not resonate with my understanding.

......


Isn't it obvious?

This is getting harder. Goodluck to those trying hard to break into the 3 Lions.

Get worse everyday.


Southgate na Caretaker.



The OYO is getting louder...

solonnachi:
When will Africa start playing its own CAF Nations League? .... Just thinking aloud!

CAF?


Proactive na wahala

Active na bigger wahala


Reactive naim dem sabi

Nd they're even failing at this again sef.


See how this Nations League don turn better place to rake in goals and national relevance. If we had such a tournament, Osimhen, Nacho and Iwobi for don relegate Odegbami from 2nd on all time goalscorers list tipe tipe.


And maybe our noisy neighbors for don use am restore factory settings to their football situo.

R2bees:
Arsenal U21 vs Ipswich Town EFL trophy.. 8 Nigerians in the Arsenal squad.. 8!

My club can so develop naija players born abroad ehn.


I'm still here wondering why no home grown naija players has been successful since Kanu. What's happening?

Iwobi isnt home grown. So that kick him out. This isnt good news.


So its easier for a homegrown Nigerian player, by this revelation to break into both Chelsea and Man Utd than Liverpool and Arsenal!

Its been years.

timay:
He has 101 now. 8 goals to go to beat the international goals record
Meanwhile, Portugal's next international match is a friendly against Andorra.

It seems Portugese FA are doing everything they can to make Ronaldo beat that highest international goals record very fast.

Nice one from the FA

Ali Daei about to become history, a 2nd time.

Meanwhile someone else dey battle with release Clause.


I'm on my knees, o God... Provide the Super Eagles to just only, only beat Rashidi Yekini's 37goals. Maybe in 2035, we'll get the one to match ororo's record. But for now, 37 nust become history. Amen!!!



Thomases:

Philosopher1979:
I don tire. Iwobi is better off as an attacking midfielder. Rohr can see this but his coach in Evertoon doesnt see it. I cant repeat myself

I hope he gets deployed in that wing. Ancelotti i believe, knows this well. Everton for Europa.

mostob:
bro...I love your optimism. But... it's just somehow

Yeah you're right. But i believe if we reach Wembley, we'll rep England better than Man Utd did vs Barca years back. Fergie no wan respect hin opponent. He hearam that night. Twas a stale night to me. Too one sided.

Arsenal are getting great again.

Wembley!!!


We'll Probably win Europa, pull a nice come back into the ucl Ko stages and reach semis.. Pull one PSG, then after World Cup, win the UCL.

Danielnino00:
Boss.... .
Na here u Dy stay??

We dey hia wella


Which market you bring come? If no be from transfer market....

Omanambala:
Even before he played for the national team Etebor was an attacker with Warri Wolves and scored tons of goals. Have you noticed he is always erratic and error prone in the midfield. He is an attacker

naija coaches and the if you wantu be a pro, then get ready to play anywhere anyday. Its inevitable.



I think they balance this stance, cos its killing loads of talents for me.

Some european coaches do it too. And it backfires. The fact that it has a few success here and there has made it seem like one kine blessing for a naija upcoming pro.

Danielnino00:
"Attention geting" isn't exactly what he needs..
He needs put in decent performance and get enough game time..
Ramon Azeez isn't getting the kind of attention Chuks gets in laliga,but he is doing quite alright and is part of the team..

Exactly.... We barely even mention Azeez.


Till then. Season don start

Subzero047:
Turkey fans are obsessed with their players

Lol. 6 of us now got this

MetalJigsaw:
Etebo brought all this upon himself. He just stopped improving .
An outdated caliber of player.

No flair
No intelligence
No creativity
No consistency

a few friends on twitter are getting dm on twitter from Gala fand about 60days inaction by Etebo. I Don Understand until i asked around. Are Gala fans afraid or what?

Danielnino00:
I think the belief among the pro Nwakali crew is that he is still that talented kid we all saw at the u-17 world cup and has the potential to be at the top.. the only thing lacking is game time! .

While the "not so pro Nwakali" crew believe that he has wasted enough of his playing career and not good enough..

Either way, time will tell..
By November,one of the two crew would be smiling at the other ..

When no be Kroos or Coutinho. Make we dead this thing. For La liga perfermance if he fit pass Chuks in attention getting once season start, i go begin dey reason something. Haba.


Nuff said

Edopesin:
lols

*Iwobi has failed as a midfielder unlike Nwakali

*Nwakali better than Aribo

it is becoming a nuisance

This Nwakali talk sef. i no wan dasi before, but abeg all of una wey dey expect stuff from him, let him see at least 250mins of football under 6games abeg. One would think he plays better than Aribo and Iwobi with the mentions here. Lol. That play time matters to me. Ain't raising no hopes abeg. Till then. He's yet to even shed off the cadet team identity sef. Make we take am jeje jeje.

barackodam:
I really like Adama, I don't know why I do. But he will be a victim too

Twice now, he couldn't play. He suppose know sey Mali juju dey active for e head. Instead make e comport

He will go the way of Munir. Unless Spain changes their way, he's not a typical Spanish kind of player. And they're just considering him now, based on the hype surrounding him, and of course, so they don't lose him to Mali

oh, I've even forgotten he wants to rep spain sef. Best of luck to him. I'm wondering in which circumstances they throw him in sef. Hmmm.

barackodam:
As you made your bed, so shall you lie on it. He had the chance to play for Nigeria. He chose not to. We respected his decision and bid him well. Idc, he should be more bothered about improving his own quality so he can get a call up.

Let's face it, even if he played for us, there's no way he'd have made our team at this moment. He needs to work on himself more

Maybe he's regretting and all that. Just saying o. But that 3mins dey pain ear gaaaaan.

Subzero047:
Make he come help them renovate abuja stadium

Ceballos cannot be benched.

Xhaka can, if Partey comes.

Ceb and Ozil can partner Partey in midfield.


Partey can make life easier for ozil and Ceb than Xhaka can. But one thing about Xhaka is that unbeaten streak. He also gingers the team. Partey has good passes too. Rarely gives a bad pass.

Oduamadi..... No club.
