Chukwueze out for Ekambi.
This Coach is sick.

When a team is battling relegation, they sacrifice beautiful football for survival.Some players are also sacrificed in the process except those who can adapt to the new pattern.

I said it earlier that Chukwueze should move.

Their current pattern requires that wing-forwards track back to defend which doesn't suit Chukwueze .Chukwueze has been average or poor with the new pattern as observed from today's game and their away game against Eibar.

Curtisaxel7:
I see no reason to reinvite Vicmo.

The guy has grown bigger than the SE. The little success he has had has entered his head. In the match against Argentina he reportedly blatantly refused to play as a wingback. The NFF president himself had to go to the dressing room to beg Vicmo before he grudgingly accepted. And we could see how halfhearted his display was that day. No matter how good a player is, he is no use if he feels he is bigger than his coach and team mates.

The Moses of 2013 with hunger and passion in his eyes is not the Moses of 2019. Let's make no mistakes. Yes he has paid his bills in the SE but if an apprentice becomes too big to listen to his oga's instructions, he is sent home empty handed and in shame no matter how long or how well he had previously served. "Okro anaghi akari onye kuru ya"!.

WE OWE VICMO NOTHING!

Since we will be facing African teams, we still need him.

He has always performed well as a winger against African oppositions, but for the WC or against European opposition, he is better as a wing-back.

In 2014 World Cup he was poor against Iran, held the ball too much instead of passing.Babatunde later took his place in the team.In 2018 world cup he was poor against Croatia.

He needs to realise he is very good as a wing-back but poor as a winger.

Oasis007:


I guess you won't be the first to call him out as an overrated Kid if.... God forbids, he fails to making first XI after the Move?! You call it a defeatist Mentality, I call it a realist Mentality.

Yeah..... It's good to be an Optimist, but I'm more of a Realist than an Optimist. I vividly remember when thegoodjoe was vehemently against Iheanacho leaving Man City, some of us called him Names, but Today he's vindicated.

He left City for playing time because he wanted to remain with the national team.

You can't make WC list with all those 5 and 10mins appearances.

He made the choice.How are you sure he is in Pep's plan?He even broke record of being the 1st 4th sub in the FA cup.

A young player needs at least 70mins of real match action every week to develop.

andrew444:
Those club you mentioned gave top team a run for their money but the question you will ask if did those team gave top team a run for their money during their season of relegation ? Hell No

If villareal goes down the better players will leave there take it or leave it,as far as chukwueze is good he wont be there at villareal

Solomon Rondon didnt go down with west brom because he is a good player

Shaqiri didnt go down with
Should i mention more?

I recall West Brom beating Man U last season while Stoke drew with Liverpool.

Tammy was balling for Swansea at the beginning of the season but still got relegated with them.

andrew444:
Moving january is bad, Villareal will not be relegated

Dont compare chukwueze case to simmy

We are talking about a young talent here

La liga is just 17 games and you are talking about villareal being relegated , mind you villareal is one of the big teams in spain,they started so poorly last season and they still ended up with a europa league spot

You guys are talking as if villareal is in the position of chievo is seria A

Its only 6 point gaps between 17th place Villarreal and 8th place valencia so whats the fuss about all this relegation talk

Even with Chukwueze Villarreal has been drawing with lesser teams and losing to big and mid-table teams.

Villarreal tend to concede goals easily.They even drew with SD Huesca and lost to Celta Vigo at home.What if the coach changes to a formation that requires a Samuel Kalu type of winger?

andrew444:
Moving january is bad, Villareal will not be relegated

Dont compare chukwueze case to simmy

We are talking about a young talent here

One of his goals was a bicycle kick against Juventus to tell you how high his confidence was last season.

andrew444:
Na now you want make him strike? season never end na

Last season Crotone got a new coach who decided to give Simy playing time.Simy finished last season with Six goals in his last 8 games in the Series A, but that was not enough to save his team from relegation.He made the WC list but didn't receive offers from top clubs.He is now in Serie B and is being ignored by the national team.

Chukwueze should move if he gets an offer from a better club.To remain in a relegation threatened club when you are opportuned to have offers from better clubs is a big gamble.

andrew444:
Villareal will not relegate and even if villareal relegates he will never go down with them... NEVER

Strike when the iron is hot.

Icon4s:
Bros try be explicit. Do you mean to add to my squad list? Match day squad? Starting 11? Sub into a game and of course what is the complexity of the game as at that moment that I was going to make the substitution?

Lol.

You for tell the guy say you no go answer.

BascoVanVeli:
I don't think he should leave Villarreal. Their brand of football is perfect for him and he is always going to be loved and supported at the club. We should not discount what the environment he is in has added to his growth.

Bro, Simy is now in Serie B.

ChrisKels:
Only a stupiid man would question Chukwueze's age. If u wanna know more about Chukwueze, ask guys who were in Michael Okpara Uni of Agric Umudike (MOUAU) and its environs (from government college to Gate, infact the whole of Ibeku). Chuks was at most 17 when he came up against me in MOUAU stadium in 2016 after his exploits in Chile. Looking at his small frame, I was full of confidence that I would easily keep him in check despite his pedigree, bkus Dude was clearly looking his teens and I was vidibly older though I was 22 going on 23 then. To cut long story short, the name Marcelo that I was fondly called then instantly eluded me in the pitch and I was a mere Echiejile before Chuks. Till date, my babe still taunts me for my shambolic displays that day, whenever the name Chukwueze comes up.

Just so u kno, Diamond Football Academy doesnt take players who are outta sec skul, otherwise u present ur original waec result for age verification. Birth certs can easily be doctored but not waec results bkus waec doesn't register candidates below 16, hence u would be required to add to ur age if u fall below the minimum age.

I've always believed the MRI to be 98% efficient till I heard of Uzoho's marriage ,coupled with the fact that his team mates(SE) use his age to mock him.

GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR 2019
Chukwueze
Onyekuru

Nice, but a 7/10 rating for Agu would've been better, under most improved.

The guy is a typical destroyer but still has to work on his passing and on-the-ball movement.He kept on playing the ball back to the defence against Uganda.

damagnificentusb:
CHRISKEL

Exactly.

tbaba1234:
There is still a player in Iheanacho. He just lacks the confidence and the determination, he once had. I don't know what can help him regain that confidence/passion though. Maybe a psychologist.

He needs to lose some weight too.

Iheanacho is a player who thrives in a team that plays attacking football with quality wingers and mid-fielders.

I suggest he moves to a top table team in Europe.

Icon4s:
My comment did not trigger Bobobooge's in any way.

I don't think he is 19.But he is very young.

I recall a moniker here once said Chukwueze was hired as a mercenary to play against their school team and that day he disgraced him(the moniker) who before then was known as Marcelo.

Icon4s:
Here we go again

Boss, na you start am.

Mickael2:
Bros not to argue anything at all as I won't be available to reply but you need to go and watch that game again. If you say we matched the Croatians then....well then I guess I now see why you are an Arsenal fan

We matched the Croatians in the middle.

elyte89:
So d likes of rakitic,modric,perisic,mandzukic,etc b average players,dis team paraded d best midfielders @ d world cup,na because of our unrealistic target and hype made us think we could defeated Croatia b4 d worldcup started ,na when world cup start,our eye clear

We didn't concede any goal from open play.Croatia's 2 goals came due to our inability to defend corner kicks.

Mickael2:
No offence but you need to watch more PSG games. They do not play a 4-3-3 formation, just because Neymar is given the freedom to roam doesn't mean it is a 4-4-2, I am guessing you will also say that Barcelona is currently playing a 4-4-2 formation because of Messi's position on the pitch?

This is their line-up against FK Crvena Zvezda and Liverpool according to whoscored.

Mickael2:
Which 4-4-2? For which club? Di Maria plays in a 4-3-3 formation with Mbappe-Cavani-Neymar as the forward line. When Neymar drops deep Di Maria covers that spot. Then Verrati and whoever else gets the nod completes the midfield triangle. So how exactly is Onyekuru going to bench their midfielder? And how is Onyekuru going to bench Di Maria? See eh, if you go to PSG he has to deal with Neymar and Mbappe and he definitely will not bench either of them at all

PSG played 4-4-2 in their last 2 champions league games against Liverpool and FK Crvena Zvezda with Di Maria as RMF.

Their coach likes playing with all the talents available to him.

andrew444:
The. What is onyekuru if he is not average ?

World class ?

Onyekuru is good not average.He has the potentials to be world class but needs to leave for a higher league.

Mickael2:
Ehm Boss, Di Maria is a midfielder how will Onyekuru bench him??

Di Maria plays as a RMF in a 4-4-2, the same position and formation that Chukwueze plays for Villareal.Onyekuru is also a right-winger.

junnyjake:
Yeah, you can only say as far as you can see.

I admire the young man's work ethic, it'd take him far, but don't forget, he's just 19, this is his first professional season in the top flight.

Villarreal is not a bad club, they play good football, he's given ample opportunity to shine, he plays in the Europa League, what else??

He has gotten himself acclimatized to the environment, i'd like him to mature more there for a little while before he leaves.

And who said Chukwueze cannot be benched? We've seen Dessers despite his goal scoring abilities dropped to the bench repeatedly. So forget talk.

Turning the Ugandan game to a 1-man show? Puullease, that's not a truthful representation of what happened that day. He had a nice game, and that's just about it.

It could go either ways for him.

As a player you need to be
ambitious.
Desserts was doing well in Belgium
(backwater league) but when he
joined Utretcht in the Dutch
Eredivisie, he became an Orji
Okonkwo type of player(players that
score when they come-off from the
bench as sub but won't score when
they start).
Chukwueze was the best player in
the 1st-half.You can re-watch the
game.Most of our attacks that day
came from him and his combination
with Osimhen.They threatened and
gave the Ugandan defenders tough
time.In one occassion he nearly got
an assist but Musa was adjudged
to be off-side.After Chukwueze and
Osimhen were hurled off after first-
half, we never seemed to threaten
them again like the 1st-half, bar
Kalu.

andrew444:
Oga onyekuru is average despite my support for him I will tell you the truth

Onyekuru is an average player

Average player doesn't mean someone is a bad player .

If omeruo was good in the championship I am not sure if he will lack Epl team even if it's the bottom team

Onyekuru is 21 so give him a break and he is an Everton player ,framed out on loan due to work permit issue

Onyekuru can make Everton team ,because I don't think Bernard is better than him

Onyekuru is not average.

Like I said b4 u know little about him.

He just needs to leave Turkey and Belgium for a better league to develop.

Omeruo would have developed better if all those his loan moves were in mid-table french,Italian or Spanish league.

.

andrew444:
Go and ask world class Luis Suarez why is he yet to score in the champions league for more than a year ,if he gives you his answer I will also give you my answer seems you are trying to be sentimental

An average player can't bench di Maria oga

Julian draxler could not bench di Maria and you expect onyekuru ,na wa for you o

This shows you know little about Onyekuru.Onyekuru is not average, he is competitive ,can bounce back,hardworking, but not obedient.
He is not average.He can bench Di Maria with time.He just needs to leave all these backwater leagues to develop.

The same backwater leagues that stalled the development of Omeruo.

andrew444:
You won't see psg news about Alves vs onyekuru

Stop bringing a playing down who is getting goals okay .

You are the one who brought Onyekuru into this argument.

andrew444:
So list of player who where not given a chance at the Epl has turned to Nigeria players ?

I already know you when you ran out of point you change topic

Please show me where I tell you I will show you list of Nigeria players ?

As if more than 50 Nigeria players have graced the Epl

Stop being clueless bro

This is a Super Eagles thread so it's right to include Nigerian players.

andrew444:
Stop judging a player by a friendly game okay

Did chukwueze score on his debut ?

Your hate for onyekuru is out of this world

Onyekuru should sign for psg and sit on the bench ?

Now I can see how pointless you are,if he go psg Na you go still call am bench warmer ,a psg team that Lucas Moura was frozen out

No need to argue with you sha ,na live scores and online news you dey read

Stop hyping a player who is yet to play 20 career games

Henry onyekuru has about 40 career goals at 21

I have nothing more to say to you

40 career goals in backwater leagues with poor defensive organization.

How come he has played 8 champions league games without a goal or assist?

Onyekuru would have become one of the starters for PSG by now because their new coach like utilizing every player available to him.That would have helped his development also by playing along side Mbappe,Neymar and Cavani.

Or do you think Onyekuru can't bench Di Maria?

andrew444:
You should know the Epl better than I do

Yes no coach leave his best players on the bench ,what club will chukwueze be their best player ?why don't you allow him arrive the club before you conclude if he is their best player or not

Should I give you list of good players that was not given much chance in England and was label a flop by the media ?

The last time I checked Spanish laliga is the best league in the world ,chukwueze should remain there for one more season at least ,shebi na Arsenal him for join but he preferred Villarreal and now things are going well ,the boy is already a first teamer and one of their best player so he should continue like that to next season ,why do you want him to rush as if he is in his late 20s

If that boy go Epl and e no play well na you no go let us hear word for this thread.

He is in a better league and you want him to leave there to go to Epl ?

I need the list of Nigerian players who were not given chance in the EPL and labelled as flop.

andrew444:
Barca site praising world class alba for keeping chukwueze quiet as if he is griezman or Cr7 ,una can form thing ehnn

But psg site didn't praise Daniel Alves for keeping onyekuru quiet during the last season champions league in the group stage when onyekuru gave Alves a run for his money

Stop comparing Chukwueze with Onyekuru they are not on the same level.

While Onyekuru failed in his debut game against Corsica, Chukwueze was balling against Uganda who have kept 5 consecutive clean sheet.Onyekuru who is always known to impress within his first 10 mins on the pitch, was anonymous against Uganda.He even played on the left which makes matters worse.Even Kalu was balling against Uganda.

Onyekuru's biggest mistake remains not signing for PSG after his exploits with Eupen.

9 – Jordi Alba:
Had a lot on his plate to
try to nullify the threat of
the pacey Chukwueze,
something that prevented
him going forward. When
he did, his crosses lacked
conviction. Quiet second
half.

komekn:
Please correct me if i am wrong but from my understanding his first game was against Glasgow Rangers where he was far from impressive, he came on for about 15 minutes and didn't score and certainly did not get a MOTM.

Read again.I said the new coach's first game which was a Europa game and Chukwueze scored and won the MOTM in that game.

The game was against Spartak Moscow and the new coach's 1st game.
