Lolz...tricks? dribbling? with all those kind of defenders he faces week in week out? see ehn ,mbappe is average ,nothing special about him. the league he plays in,the kind of players that surround him are what makes him decent.

Yet he has proven himself in the ucl, wc and club level?? Lmaoo no kill me.
If you don't see Mbappe is very talented, then I don't know what to say.
You think clubs were dumb when they were bidding 36m for him before his first full season?

Danielnino00:
I'm relaxed....I know he isn't there yet but there's every possibility that he will get there... the boy is on form...he has the potentials to achieve great things. The fact that he is a starter at a laliga club speaks volume of how highly rated he is... Whether or not he will make PSG first eleven depends largely on the manager's choice....
Like I said in my previous post,there's nothing special about this PSG team...its Arab money that make dominate the ligue1 for well... The champions league is the real place to know how good they are...
Can Villarreal beat PSG in a match? I don't doubt it..

For him to start, he'd have to bench either Neymar or Mbappe. You think that's possible?
Bros this Psg team is good ooo. They're only lacking a world class CM...someone like Kante.

Lucque:
i just watched eberechi eze..that boy and iwobi in midfield will solve alot of our creativity problems...but enough moping....there must be something we can do to get rohrs attention...if we lose that boy it will be both the fault of rohr...d nff ...nd us who claim to know his worth...
so any ideas?

The process to make a switch will be long...all which we would've avoided if we had invited him earlier.

elyte89:
Chairman mostob ...dribbling is just one of d techniques we av in football.its not d only technique

Pace is a technique

Shooting(accuracy) is a technique

Having good passing skill is a technique,in short any skill a player possess is a technique, it now depends on aw good dey can use deir skill,wc varies from each players

Pace, dribbling, tricks, finishing, above average touch yet Mbappe isn't technical according to some?
He isn't Messi but Mbappe possess technical ability. Simple as that.

Danielnino00:
Chukwueze has barely spent a year in Villarreal and he has moved from their academy to the first team and already has three goals and two assists.. Already recognised as one of the best young player in la liga currently... I don't see how he can't make this PSG team with his current form...

You underestimate the lad too much...

Chukwueze wouldn't make PSG's starting 11. Make una chill naaa...when he gets to that level - we'll all celebrate. At the moment, he simply isn't there yet.

Earthquake2:
He doesn't get into striking position, he spends more time on the wings than in the 18 yard box

Granada mostly played him outwide tbh. His physicality is wasted there imo.

It's almost 2019 and people are still making Mbappe out to be Pius Ikedia...SMH.

Odey scores...

daveP:
No I don't!

He's talking about how people disregarded Martins when he was in form simply because he's "too old".

junnyjake:
I thought Salisu was banned for one year.

We are not a serious nation. It's not like he's the best local coach around.

daveP:
You wana start?


Obagoal was still balling at 33. Cmon. And you want me to always totally believe you have your facts right before you comment?
Robben is 34 and injuries have been a part last year. He is getting back to form now. Same as the Everly injury prone Ribery.

in the last decade, mention players that were still balling like Obagoal?


You know what, my conclusions are final! What's the meaning of all this?

Do you understand what he posted?

tbaba1234 have you watched this Iyaji Believe Aitemwen guy?? Came across his highlights on YouTube and he looks decent.

Curtisaxel7:
Are you insinuating that Nacho with his unbelievably poor ball control is a natural SS?

I laugh in German.

He IS an SS. We've been through this time and time again.

EEGA:
Onyekuru really needs to work hard and take his chances.

We can only take 7 forwards to AFCON.Bar injury Kalu and Chukwueze for the RW,Osimhen , Success and Ighalo for CF,Moses Simon(as Rohr may choose to compensate him for missing the WC) and Musa for LW.

Midfield:Ndidi,Etebo, Ogu,Agu,Mikel, Iwobi.

In the middle it's looking like Iheanacho might be sacrificed.

Defence:Balogun,Ekoong,Ajayi,Omeruo,
Aina , Collins and Shehu.

Ebuehi might be sacrificed here due to injury.

GKs:Uzoho,Ezenwa and Akpeyi.

Rohr won't drop Iheanacho for Osimhen

Mickael2:
Precisely

Yeah I think Samu has better close control than him. Sessegnon is probably a better goal scorer

Mickael2:
If I understand you correctly huge talent according to you means an outstanding talent? Something like Mbappe now right? Well if that is your definition of huge talent well I am not sure he is exactly up to that. But for me I consider even Dembele a huge talent and although he may be more talented than Samu I still believe that if Dembele falls into that huge talent category (together with someone like....this young fullback cum winger in Fulham) then Samu deserves to be in it or at least around the periphery there.

By the way Mbappe is an outstanding talent, not huge talent. Some might add Dembele to that outstanding talent category but there is no way Samu is not close to that Fulham guy(this is in respect to the match he played against Liverpool this season which I watched and live too, my first live EPL game by the way, although I have watched a few LA Liga games live). So this is just a matter of semantics, to you huge talent is the ultimate, to a lot of people here it is the second tier behind outstanding talent

You talking about sessegnon?

komekn:
I don’t know how true that is.

But when you go to a lot of EPL training sessions, live matches, talk to players past and present. Talk to coaches, recruitment scouts, a very few managers. But all within English football. That's participative knowledge would you call that bias ❓

Would it not be foolish to be talking with any sense of authority about other leagues. [/b]And yes I go to Spain,Portugal, Germany and Holland but these are short visits there is no depth[b].

Yes I do watch matches in Europe that's why I said ages ago that Umar Sadiq isn't going to be good enough for league one. That was my opinion.

Football evolves like players nothing is static you either going up or down. This years hero is next year's villain.

Why get so HEATED it's supposed to be entertaining lite hearted amusement. No be fight.

That's the point I'm trying to make. You have more in depth knowledge of the English system and our players in it hence you can talk more about it than other leagues.
You would know more about a Sheyi Ojo or an Ovie Ejaria in the youth system than a Samuel Chukwueze in the LA Liga.

Komekn simply has more knowledge about English born naija players than others hence he is/looks like he's biased towards them.
I do think Samu is a major talent sha. Komekn, you need to watch him a bit more. A cameo appearance isn't enough to glean anything from.

TheSuperNerd:
NB: Keep ignoring Dem low lives Nerdie.... Not worth your attention at all... All they know is how to hate on others while their lives lay in tatters and mediocritic state... SMH...



Meanwhile, let me feed your eyes with some of the beastly talents of this lad called Chukwueze likely to make his NT debut against Uganda in the Tuesday friendly....

The last guy he wasted sha...he has a nice change of direction that I like.

Not a fan of his economic ideas.

Too much utopian ish.

TheGoodJoe:
More like Rohr was scared to his boxers and decided no adventurous play or he lacks the capability of building a strong setup to tear up tough oppositions. Either way, our display yesterday was close to atrocious.

Come to think of it, he had no other choice with the midfield he had. Then again, I didn't tell him to invite only Agu, Ogu and Etebo.

IronGalaxy:
who is celebrating? I'm just voicing my opinion and I'm still saying even with the likes of Ndidi and Ighalo this Nigerian team is pretty average.SA was also missing the likes of Zungu, Phiri, Dolly etc. just face it' the glory days are long gone

Glory days are gone true but we are still at a higher level than you guys.

Samueltemi337:
We did not score any goal against iran.... the only goal that was disallowed was the goal victor moses scored against france

Musa had a header disallowed against Iran. Oh and Emenike was the one who had a goal disallowed against France

Video was obviously a skit or something. Don't need to watch it to realize that.

IronGalaxy:
The truth is the Super Eagles era ended with the likes if Kanu, Oliseh, Okocha, Taribo West etc. The current team is just overrated. Had South Africa had all of its players , we would have easily beaten Nigeria

Bafana Bafana ended with the likes of Pienaar, Zuma, Novemthe, Old John Mabizela, etc.
We were missing Mikel, Moses, Ighalo in the first leg and Ndidi, Mikel, Moses(retired), Shehu, Tyrone, etc.
I don't why some of you are celebrating not beating a team that had only 3 CM in Ogu, Etebo and Agu.

jihday:
OK, so y'all clamoring for #Rohrout# who do you have in mind as replacement? a coach you know the NFF can afford o, abi you want a local coach to takeover?

Don't want him out - just pointing out his flaws. It's good we have continuity but dude has to learn from his mistakes.

tbaba1234:
I have read a lot of comments on the game, these are my thoughts on some of them

1. Iheanacho had a very decent game. I was quite impressed with his application in the first 30 minutes in particular. He was not as bad as suggested by some posters

2. Rohr is actually good tactically. His weakness is the reading of the game and his conservative nature. He does not make required changes on time and tries to play it safe. A technical assistant who reads the game better could be drafted to assist.

This current Nigerian team has the potential to play breathtaking football with a more adventurous coach but Rohr has produced results.

3. We were average but should have won easily if not for some atrocious officiating.

In regards to 2 - we are mostly talking about his in game management which isn't that great tbh. He can set a team up but isn't that flexible when it comes to switching things up.

TheGoodJoe:
The South Africans were the better side both tactically and creatively even though his side had less quality. I think you are downplaying his importance to the team.

I didn't watch the game but Baxter ain't it. I've known dude since he was their coach back in 05-06. He's not doing anything his predecessor Shakes Mashaba didn't do.

nelszx:
How on earth are these offside calls?
I think the NFF should petition the assistants to CAF and FIFA not because we've qualified but to serve as deterrent for others. To be fair I think VAR will be needed for the AFCON

SA keep getting these suspect decisions in their favour.
Make I no talk too much sha...

Oasis007:


There is a moment for Everything. Belgium was in oblivion for so many Years, but now they are back in the frame cos there are talented Players available for pick.

This is our time in Africa, our Boys are doing considerably good at their respective Clubs but with Rohr in charge, I'm seeing no Light at the End of the Tunnel.

We have Aina, yet Rohr experimented with Kalu as RWB. The same Rohr would keep playing Shehu as a RB bar injury, despite the fact that Shehu ain't the Position at his Club.

I don't have time for long Epistle bro.......!

To be fair, Kalu has played as a wingback before at Gent. It's not a role Alien to him.

My thing is this - half of the people who defend Rohr no matter what are the same ones who probably criticized Amodu despite him performing just as well or even better.
Rohr's in game management is very suspect. Even a blind man can see that.

TheGoodJoe:
Baxter would definitely have us playing better if he had our team and Rohr would definitely not get the South Africans playing as good as they did today with his kind of tactics.

Baxter is overrated. He's not a good tactician. Rohr is better
