Babayo is no longer Chelsea's first team player. Nothing concern me if you no know.

Are you lying to yourself? See the stats below.

Jorginho has the other attributes of a modern DM. He can score, assist or give second assist while he performs his primary duties as a DM.

This Jorginho will break into Barca first team without any problem.

i take it that you're joking. Lol.



You said that tooooo easy.

Jorg break into where?


Jorg vs Ndidi on chances of who will break in 1st into Barca..... Lol.

I feel he isn't happy with this move. But i expect him to perform expressively than at Arsenal. Marco might unlock his shoot at goal tendencies.


All the best Iwobi.


Now i gats watch Everton matches now.


40m for Iwobi

Chukwueze currently tagged at 6m...... Nigerian youngsters may break the 100mark before they clock 30yrs.

Happy Birthday Kratoss


Pls do make them suffer, @ SE Opponents.


Cheers.

eph12:
Also better than VVD too. The guy is an excellent defender, ignore all the nonsense some people are saying

Abeg.... I can never compare with VVD.


Pls respect that dude.


Abeg.


Pls i use God beg una


No try this sarcastic thing na.


Shuu


Chai.


Musta what vs VVD.

forgiveness:
You should be thinking of him moving to a bigger club than Arsenal from Everton.

See i get you. But i prefer it happening from Arsenal. Or a loan so Arsenal can get him back and hr becomes a legend.


He can also downsize from Everton. Its a probabilistic one. I hope for the best. What if.....


See my angle now? Thats why i dont like this deal atall.

Now i wonder how Arsenal will get him back now if he performs at Everton. A loan dral wouldave been better. Chai. Thr same stupid fans that dont fancy him will vilify Emery if stuff go wrong soon. Ooohhhh God!!!


This deal dey pain.



I imagine Everton selling back at 100m in th3 nearest future.

charlesemeka85:
iwobi should remain in arsenal

Hr will perform at Everton definitely. But i dont fancy this move One bit. He should remain.

Why sell Iwobi for Christ's sake?


Arrrggghhhhhhh


All of you happy dont really know what he btings to the table at his age for Arsenal Standards.


Smh.

ellex:
Anybody aside Mustafi will be ok. I don't want to go through this nightmare for another season


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKVdx1Buce0

I also dontlike Mustafi. But i recently saw that he has better stats than th3 so called Harry Maguire that Man U got at 80m. Irony of football.

charlesemeka85:
i tip him or okereke to make the leap easily than oshimeh. the latter seem light weight to my liking. oya make una kii me

Osimhen will have about 5yrs before he can solidify that spot like Ighalo. If Awoniyi steps up, he will get many call ups between now and then 2020

komekn:
Can not argue with that.

In reality it's open season anybody can make a claim.by putting in consistent top quality performances in club and league.

So the so called front runners may end up being in the background as other players take the limelight.

It's going to be very interesting.

Rohr is best left to solidify this new brand to me. At least for cohesion purposes.

Onuachu and Lokosa having same SE destiny?


1 tourney and out?

charlesemeka85:
Juventus join race to sign Onyekuru

Hehehheheheheeh


Sorry for the laugh... But pls is he willing to b3 playing 5mins only?

forgiveness:
Onikan and Teslim Balogun stadium will host the U20 female world cup. Other venues are Benin, Asaba and Uyo.

Wont be surprised if Pinnick picks Asaba as Finale venue. Lol.

andrew444:
If awoniyi starts scoring for Mainz quickly don't be suprised he might even be the one to replace ighalo immediately ,according to some of you here rohr rates the German league

Lol You're so so right.

Infact i hope as Tammy don enter Chelsea, hope we wont see a SE miracle either?


I believe Awoniyi has the best stakes, silent ones to Ighalo's Shirt.

tbaba1234:
Awoniyi announced by Mainz

Good one for him. I hope he takes it by storm... And with full focus

Eartquake1:
Bournemouth has told Leicester that they will only accept 75million for Nathan Ake

These people wan collect Maguire money

And to imagine that Mustafi and MaGuire havr thr same stats, even Mudtafi is better, i cant but smh. Point is Mag is overhype...

I feel like dancing Griezmann's Circus Dance for those calling for Rohr's Head. Y'all forgotten 1game left stats??


I recall Ramos mockingly doing so after scoring in the Madrid derby last year.

Leave Rohr alone. He irks me too. But he's building something to me.


From the SE team alone, we can get an u23 team . We too dey faya coaches.


Mind you, other countries know Rohr's value if you guys dont. Lets build.

Ighalo should be above Kanu on all time highest goalscores for the SE.

If only age was on his side Mathematical's 23goals will be overtaken to make Ighalo 2nd.


Iwobi currently has 6goals.


If he scores averagely 4goals in a non afcon year and 7 in an afcon year, for the next 8years, i see him close to 34goals.


Wait o. Our Olympic Team itself can be gotten from these current SE19 players. Just add zacalla and maduka and a few oldies....


I think our hands are currently full.


Ride o, O Netherlands of Africa.

Are you an Akpeyist??


Reeks of Sacarsm o @ this scoreboard of yours

Joebie:

Na true na.


The least i currently expect is aNyone tryna give hype to Akpeyi


Shuuu


Do we now have Akpeyists?
Cc elyte89

darkelf:
It was shot straight at him. Wasn't it?

He was just lucky?

yeah. We know the real Akpeyi mehn.

No one wantw to talk of the fact that Alferia were superior tactically. Pls hype them na.



That tactics seperated a combo btw Chukwueze and Awaziem. So give em some slack.

We are stuck with Ighalo till he retires i guess. We need a 9 that reacts fast in the box.
Odion isnt that.


Overall, Rohr rohr rohr, yet he is a 2nd on all time wins with 21wins.
I pray he leaves his conservative mode though.


What a young squad.

BascoVanVeli:
Let me just say that Akpeyi made a very key save earlier in the match when Omeruo lost a clearance.

Key save how?


That was luck on hid side. Have you forgotten Akpeyi? That had probabilistic outcome and luckily for a chancr at saving for Akpeyi standards, that was just pure luck.

andrew444:
Lol UZOHO?

Isnt it major knowledge that a half fit uzoho is better than the current akpeyi aka fraidycat?

That freekick cannot pass Uzoho and defenders need not protect uzoho or worry about his positioning during setpieces.


Overall uzoho organizes his wall instead of stand directly behind it.

Icon4s:
some people's analysis can be so shocking!

Me,i just refused to discuss the game with anyone since that fk spinned in. But some talk i see here ehn. Chai.



Suddenly someone is saying Jamilu is crap, in here? Another person is saying Shehu offers nothing. Nawa o.


Only 2 players has consistent blame as each game went by. Not cos of delivery, but cos of decision making in the final 3rd in crucial situations..... Our 9, Ighalo. He is the top scorer and i love that. Lemme not start sef. Also Akpeyi, our wall were so scared for baba, sotey Onyekuru has to lie down incase fk was taken low. The foul itself was cos of the fear that Akpeyi would ef up if clear shot angle was given.


Our guys know he is minus 1. No doubt.

We were just tactically overwhelmed. Thats all. Stop looking for errors in players that took us this far into semis to use as excuse.

The fright of Mahrez is why we need prioritize freekick specialists in SE.

Curtisaxel7:
Mikel should've started that game ahead of Etebo.

Etebo is just a combative box to box hard tackling midfielder. No finesse, no passing abilities, no game control abilities, nothing. Service to our forwards was virtually non existent, courtesy of a dead midfield. Sadly, Mikel who should've been at the heart of the midfield was played out of position a couple of times and then condemned to the bench.

Rohr needs to learn, you don't win a game with tackles alone.

Talk like this is disgusting. Mikel over Etebo. Current Mikel?

What are you even saying.

Etebo has been the most reliable SE player this Afcon. Chai

Awaziem has improved and shown he can now hold his own. Scary at first. Wish his the best today.


Our middle seems unmatched still by all teams we meet or those in the tournament. They keep thinking our fullbacks are porous areas forgetting we have wingers that can defend well too.




I see Uzoho in training, i expect bim to make bis debut against the Algerians.


Wish Osimhen can just see 2mins, and not that Onuachu taller.

darkelf:
I was enjoying a local meal but I just had to postpone it to reply you.

You're absolutely right about the bolded statement. YES, OUR BOYS DON"T SEEK TO IMPROVE. It's like their mentality. Many of them are just happy to play abroad and earn money.They don't think about ways their game may evolve. They don't actively seek ways to get better. I keep on saying that the only person who seems to work really hard at improvement is Ndidi and maybe Omeruo/Aina. I don't know him neither am I his personal trainer but it is self-evident in his game. Ndidi seems to be better with each passing season. A friend of mine in the UK says that there is no nightclub were Isaac Success and KC nacho isn't known. Tomorrow, we wonder why these boys have stagnant careers!!! There is a time for work and play, don't get me wrong but too much enjoyment especially for a sportsman is a real BANE.

How many of our players are on special diets?

How many of our players have personal fitness trainers? Not the one they quickly hire when it seems they might not make the squad but I mean the perennial personal trainers?

How many of our players stay back after team practice to practice set-pieces, finishing, tackling, PASSING, positioning etc?

How many of our players seek to play for the glory and not money? Don't get me wrong, money is important but when you have groomed yourself to be the best, Money will chase and overtake you. Its like the hidden law of football.

We can shout about Rohr from now till tomorrow but if these guys aren't doing their bit, there's little a National team coach can do (although Rohr has many deficiencies of his own).

Sad sad.

I recall saying that no team studying us would be afraid of our setpieces before the world cup. We have taken over 150 corner kicks in the last 3yrs and buried less than 5. Fks are even worse since Nacho scored vs Argentina. How else are our Attack instincts supposed to be something to be afraid of.


I wonder if the consciousness of the fact that even minnows are now experts at studying teams they wana play against so intricately. Lateron, we as Nigerians would now be surprised when these lil teams shock us with winners. What were we thinking before. That even as minnows, it would never fall in their favour.


That Madagascar game is a perfect story.

9/11 of their X1 all play in 2nd division in France. Tueh.


And a championship fella is standing over our freekicks?


I prefer to not focus on all these tactical talk for now. We shouldn't be shocked next time. They also played their part. And our players to paid by being less alert once its a small team.


We go dey see players dey shout i wana be like pirlo, ronaldo, hulk, etc

Yet these guys set asides 2-3hrs of fk practicing. I learnt Mou once begged CR7 to goan rest before a vital game that year cos everyone has gone home after training. Pirlo own sef is even funnier. He employed a non club staff to assist as he practice kicks.


As for their fitness you spoke right. See Onazi. No matter the pro-ness of a footballer, if his weight is not in check, he would never do anything tangible in 90mins.


What of practice for how to manoveur a defence with moves that confuse? Never SE. We are too direct and predictable. Only speed and chance we still use. Told a friend we dont have defence breaking skills. We just wait for chances. So archaic.

Sincerely, lets be simply Nigerians for this Seedorf encounter, Its better Ighalo doesn't start that match. Once he's saddled with 9, he has this urge to never take good decisions that would later on hurt the team, and all of us watching the match and as time flies. Its even more painful when we conceed a goal again.

I believe the young boys would help us get goals calmly and might win a pk unconsciously.

I notice also that Musa has this urge to kiss the ground whenever he misses a sweet chance to bury a goal. Unchanged.

Overall, lets be factual.

Its said that Etebo is the one standing over our freekicks in this era of football. Its shows how bad self building by our footballers is. Don't they practice like CR7 to become experts? Its just as appalling to see Rashford standing over Man U freekicks in that whole team. Pls dont get me wrong.

So VicMo and SimMo are the only two that our confidence of burying a setpiece near the 18 is high on in the last 3yrs?

See Brazilian team. Almost all the defenders can bury fks comfortably. Do they need the coach to tell them before the self develop such aspect of the team's attack?


Phew.

kennysville:
Quite frankly its not Victor Ikpeba... I cant remember the dude's name. Ikpeba doesnt do commentaries. He is only seen on the picth side for pre/post match analysis

its actually Ikpeba's voice. Especially during qualifiers.
