Bros, like I told you earlier, I would need to see the evidence. I don't want to just take your words for it. Please show us the threads/posts where he promoted those players you mentioned.

Waiting ....


O pari

I don't have the time to go through all of it because to be honest, it'd be much longer and goes too far back. These are a few examples. I can dig up more if I wanted. Unless you're implying he's no longer a tribalist but solely an igbo hater..

OMANBALA1:
Some of the most racist insurance firms in America still hires few black people. You know ?

Racist or they just have a problem with poor people?

Icon79:
Yes, Arsenal Board told me that Emery impressed them by his knowledge of the team and all what not. But I personally think that they are making a mistake hiring him; because it should be more than that IMHO. They ought to look at his records.

So they think that a coach who couldn't win with the fully loaded PSG team would suddenly start performing wonders with this overrated Arsenal team?
They think that a coach who couldn't manage a choir boy like Neymar Jr. can actually manage the lazy and overly pompous Mesut Ozil? And you don't even want me to talk about a hot head like Aubameyan (sp.). I don't see Arsenal winning anything or making the top 5 next season. Mark my words!


O pari

I don't get your point. How does this prove Iwobi isn't in his plans?? He wasn't my preferred choice too. I wanted Allegri, Nagelsmann or Jardim instead. Emery isn't a bad coach. We stand a massive chance of winning the europa league with him. I wouldn't take his PSG stint as a way to gauge how he'll perform.
I don't know where you got Ozil being "lazy" and "over pompous" from. Don't also know where you got Aubamayeng being a hot head from too.

Petrobros:
Reason why you will always form alliance with forgiveness. Co-tribalists

Anumpama. Typical brain dead onye IPOB. Of course I'm Yoruba to your pea brained self.

Icon4s:
When ever I see this picture I weep inside.

SMH. Tell them to sell to private investors - No
Run the team properly - NO
But we should beg you to do your job. When the players go and shave 10 years off their age and play for the U17, the fool will claim he is a "product" of his team. This is pathetic...

daveP:
i doubt he is Ghanaian sha. But let's all ignore then unless they go too far or we want to vent stored up anger onto them.

Probably an IPOB guy. You know how they think everyone else in Nigeria are animals and in a "zoo".

Petrobros:
Oga stop being a devil's advocate. Don't try to cover up what we know already.

Tell me how far he goes in defending those players you listed above. The intensity is always different when he defends his Yoruba brothers.

Just a mere mention that Aina's father will influence Aina's selection and he comes up with talks that Iwobi and Ebuehi's fathers are in camp too. What do you call that?

That guy is drunk in tribalism.

Nothing like devil's advocate. I am stating facts. Is what he said a lie??

NIGHTMAREOO7:
I hardly comment here I only read comments.
But anyone who says this guys is not a tribalistic is fucking shallow.. Becoz its so obvious.

I have been reading comments here, others are analysis football while he is buzy fighting with arguments and defending his Yoruba brothers
In every comment..
I'm not scared to say it U ARE A FUCKING TRIBALIST.. just click on ur profile and check ur comments and see it all lies on supporting ur brothers... U are spoiling this thread.

Is Joel Obi his brother? When he was calling for his inclusion in the team, why didn't you call him a tribalist?
Is Ebuehi his brother?
Is Josh Onomah his brother?
Is Fred Oyedinma his brother?
Is Mikel Agu his brother??
When he was saying Vic Moses can be as good as Salah under a coach like Klopp, why didn't you call him a tribalist??
If you haven't been here long enough, don't say something you're not certain of. It's talk like this that actually spoils the thread.

hardwerk:
Keep parading Average team ....I will be here to remind you beer parlour analysts of my comment and laugh at you all when your heads have been washed with Ash to show your wailing and tribulations

Shithole average bullshit team

You have been noticed. Bye

KevinDein:
Statically (tackles plus interceptions) the best defensive midfielder in Europe.

Wenger (I love the man) did a lot of fuckkked up transfer recently. Brought in Xhaka for more than twice the fee of Ndidi when it's obvious the team is in dire need of a tough tackler. Emery would have really made do with an Ndidi at the moment. SMH

Wenger was just not going to sign Ndidi considering he sold Coquelin. Wenger stopped using pure destroyers after Flamini left.

Joebie:
J. Obi of yesteryears, I'd prolly put him on top. I've not seen him dribble lately.

Fair enough.

Joebie:
Which Obi?
you know one is number 1 and the other number 3.. don't confuse me o lol

Lool sorry J Obi

chilex9:
But serzly wetin dey worry Moses....why is he doing this?

He played in the FA cup final. Guess Rohr thought that warranted additional rest. Need him to be as fresh as ever for the WC

TheLoneCitizen:
Ahmed Musa beats Iwobi, Ighalo and Mikel even with his hands tied.

Dribbling?? Then we might as well call Walcott the greatest dribbler of all time

This Nwakali hype has more to do with the TYPE of player he is than his capability at the moment. Barring Mikel, our midfield is filled up with Destroyers/b2b midfielders. You could make an argument for Ogu being a regista but he isn't too great at that role. Nwakali can play alongside Mikel either in front of him or behind. Nice qualities he has, but it's too late to experiment. Fact is he hasn't had an impressive season and yes it'd be crazy to suggest we drop Ogu or whomever just off one game. He had a good game and let's leave it at that.

Icon79:
Please you guys should quit making all these unsubstantiated claims and posting it out here as gospel. The same way most people here claimed, without any evidence, that Obi Mikel is Antonio Conte's plans. That he plans to give Mikel a "free role in the midfield". At that time I laughed them off, not because I didn't want it to be true but because nobody provided any evidence to substantiate that claim.

Bottom line is, we don't know if Iwobi is Emery's plans. He hasn't said so. In fact, the only player he mentioned by name during his median press conference was Mesut Ozil. When they asked him about Wilshere and others, he said that he wasn't going to discuss individual players.

So let's leave it at that until he shows his cards.


O pari

Same way we didn't know for certain the Arsenal board appointed him because they were awed by his in depth analysis of every player on the team including some of the youth players till surprise surprise Gazidis confirmed the same thing.
As for this Mikel argument, both are not even remotely similar. I don't know why and how you made that comparison

maidaboi:
we need a good dribbler in the middle
tbaba1234, joebie, thesupernerd please can you rank our midfielders base on there dribbling abilities
cc forum members can also help

Vic Moses
Iwobi
Ighalo
S Moses
Mikel I guess

Joebie:


1. Mikel john Obi

2. Oghenekaro Etebo

3. Joel Obi

4. Ogenyi Onazi/Wilfred Ndidi

6. john ogu

Swap Obi and Etebo

Icon79:
Haha!! I am glad more people are beginning to realize that obvious truth. A few weeks ago, I challenged someone to show me a thread where forgiveness has ever promoted an non-Yoruba player. And I am still waiting ....


O pari

Joel Obi, Ebuehi, etc. Forgiveness ain't a tribalist

Joebie:
Watching ABSA PSL Top 10 goals for March and April. My friends the NPFL is far behind.

I think this is obvious to anyone who has watched both leagues. PSL is in the top 3 in Africa

Iwobi is clearly in Emery's plans...

mazimee:
I had no idea, where does he play?

Winger

forgiveness:
Hmmmmm! The bolded is almost true looking at the midfield.

Yep yep. Too many destroyers/b2b mids.

BascoVanVeli:
I still don't surport Salisu taking Alhassan off before HT. Yes he was jittery because this was his first match back at the stadium after his move but I am sure if he got the chance that Ashadi had he would have buried it and we are talking about a completely different game right now.

I was surprised when I heard he was subbed before HT. Unless he was a 1/10, he should've been left on till at least 60 mins

Unlimited22:
Note taken. Undoubtedly they are better than the B team, but for a set of people who barely trained with each other prior to today, and another team that largely picked itself, it is noteworthy to highlight that at times the A team lacked cohesion. Yes. I said it, and I'm not going to recant because I know what I've seen.

The A team lacked cohesion because the midfield in both games was unbalanced. I don't know how long you've been following this thread but a few of us have been harping about having an additional creative midfielder on the team. Rohr didn't start Iwobi as a 10 and even played a midfield 3 of Onazi - Ndidi - Obi which didn't work out at all. We would've been saying something different if we had Mikel playing or Rohr played Iwobi as a 10 in both games.

Why are people surprised by Partey's aggression?? My guy is Ghanaian and would obviously play like his depended on it. Our rivalry with those bredas no be here.

Joebie:
Muazam sef.. subbed off

He played poorly??

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... Yes Sir Krattoss.... I am happy for his move. I knew he was EPL bound but was not sure if it would be Huddersfield or Brighton. This is good for Balogun.

On Brighton's twitter handle, his clips are everywhere... They said he even brought his own pen. Looolll... Dude no want hear story like "pen failure"...

It is a two years deal... Welcome Leon " The Rock" Balogun to the world's most exciting and most popular league... #SoarSuperEagles

My bad didn't see this...

Leon signs for Brighton

Danielnino00:
No footballer is injury free yes,but Joel own case with injury is kind of special.. We shouldn't take the risk.. remember what happened to us when Onazi got injured against France in 2014...


BTW, so Joel is now defensive midfielder.. prior to the March friendly, his fans made us believe that he could play the DM,CM and AM role well... If the DM is his main role then why take the risk? we already got Ndidi and Onazi for that role..

He can play as a lwb and LM. He is also better on the ball than both Onazi and Ndidi. He just didn't play well in the friendlies

elyte89:
Just d same way I will rebuff anybody claims here irrespective of ur age DT u watched d foreign leagues most especially premiership,and u live in Nigeria keenly b4 d year 2000,Na fat lie,foreign league football wasn't popular in Nigeria den,due to obvious reason,No internet,No dstv,except for d opulent ones in area who av (satellite dish) only av access, and it was very rare to c we only got to watch National teams competition such as world cup,nations cup,euro and d likes aired by NTA CHANNEL 10 AND 7 ...and once in a while around 97 and 98,NTA DO AIR D ROTHMANS German league in weekends once in a wyle,and also Not to forget DBN too DT shows replayed matches of some premiership team most especially Man u,seems d manager of DBN den was a MAN U fan.

Emm Serie A was popular before then in naija na. Didn't NTA have some Bundesliga highlights show that period?

elyte89:
All dis guys claiming to watch and comprehend what's going on in a match baffles me

I was in primary 4 when Brazil and France played in 98 world cup ,na small remain make we c ,I was 9month old when amokachi scored a beautiful goal against greece ,trying to clinch on d oldies

I no sabi as una dey understand dis games o,at Dt tender age...I bet most of u at DT age bracket watched replay and not d real match ,make una no dey whine us for here


Aw primary 4 piking of DT time comprehend each persons name, position, style of play as at den ,me I no believe o ,kids I.Q den where not as high as today's kid,a kid of 3years can operate i-pad conveniently .


I knew what was football during Atlanta 96,though I can't really comprehend d rules and regulation @ age 7

I didn't watch most games,because I was too naive to understand d rules,d game time wereearly part in d morning,games where played around 11pm,12am,1am,2am.d rules den for kids generally was to sleep after dinner,Max by 9pm,I dey bed
Only my my siblings who re older would go out in d middle of d night to watch games at a popular joint where dey own a generator set...generator set den was very expensive and not to popular among d masses

So abeg in a nutshell,if u re not up to age 13-15years during 94 world cup and 96 Atlanta tourney,stop analysing matches for us

Loool most of us just knew the names of the players and nothing more. You're correct in us watching the replays sha as back then my dad recorded every single game we played on VHS.
