So 3 games is now 5 games ?

He didn't make the bench on 2 occasions So it's now 5 occasions?

Hope you know vardy and demerai gray start some games from the bench most times ?

You guys can't even defend your self

Do you know what it means to say a player is a regular?

In their last 5 games, how many did he start?

If you call a bench-warmer a regular, what will you call a starter?

darkelf:
What is the total number of goals and assist for iwobi so far this season?

Why is it that Emery keeps starting him?

andrew444:
He is not a regular and has started more than 10 games in the EPL...Smh for you

So because he was not on the bench means he is not a regular?

Anyway wes morgan didnt make the bench so does that make him also a bench warmer?

Hope you are not bringing your hate to 2019 ?

I am starting to believe you earn a living to hate a player

Change your ways

Happy new year to you

No one is trying to bring any player down.

Iheanacho was a regular in the beginning of the season but not now since 5 games have been played since then with him getting only 30mins in total.

Embrace the truth, but remember in football you are as good as your last game.

andrew444:
Bros you dey mind them? If i tag them hater dem go talk, many of them even see me as being sentimental because i will never agree with them

Look at one trying to pull victor moses down as if i even call moses a world class player,I am not a victor moses fan and some others eagles player that does not mean i will not speak the truth

Even one said onyekuru is overrated, someone that is playing in turkey on loan and the fee being paid by everton to buy him was just 7 million euros and someone open his mouth to say the guy is overated?

Some people need to use google to read meaning and understand them.

Happy New year to you, wish you the best

Everything depends on how you look at it.

Some will tell you that the Turkish and Chinese leagues is for retirees considering the fact that Robinho,Eto o and some old players are still active there.

Onyekuru has also not proven critics wrong since he has featured in 8 champions league games without a goal or assist to his name.

The few times he came on as a sub during the AFCON qualifiers, he wasn't even impressive considering the weak(African) opponents he was facing.

Chukwueze and Kalu were balling against well organized Ugandan defenders in Asaba while Onyekuru couldn't make any impact.

He failed in his debut game against Corsica.

His only good game being in the testimonial match against Liberia where the Liberians were 2 man down considering the fact that Weah and one of his compatriot featured in that game.

Onyekuru has to move to prove himself in one of Europe's top 5 leagues.

He is not even in Rohr's plan at the moment as a winger.

Curtisaxel7:
Iwobi is similar to Iheanacho in the sense that both of them have NO DEFINED NATURAL POSITION.

Iheanacho lacks the basic ball control which is imperative for an AM/SS. He also lacks the ability to beat defenders with his very poor dribbling abilities and low attacking instinct, and lacks physicality to hold up play so he is not a natural CF. So what is his natural position?.

Iwobi claims to be a natural AM, but apart from his eye for the final pass which he shows occasionally, he has no other attribute of a modern number 10. He can't control the game's tempo, hardly makes accurate vertical long passes, can't hit good shots at goal from range, his dribbling which endeared him to our hearts is fast disappearing, physicality nko? Zero.

So my brother, Iwobi is like Nacho. Jack of all wings, master of none.

I think you are wrong here.

When we played England prior to the WC Iwobi played very well as a RW and even got a goal.He was very creative and the only creative Super Eagle in a match where Regulars Moses and Mikel were anonymous, with Onazi poor.

Iwobi is class.He just needs a decent DMF/ball holder to play behind him.

Curtisaxel7:
Things are indeed looking bad for our Alex.

I watch Cengiz regularly at Roma. If that dude signs up for Arsenal and it gets to a direct competition between him and Iwobi, Iwobi may as well go on loan. And if Nelson returns from loan too, Iheanacho's condition will be better than Iwobi's.

Sad but true.

Una been talk say Emery go sell am on arrival.

Emery come trust am more than wenger.

Which Reis Nelson? Which Cengiz?They will still come and Iwobi will keep them on the bench.

The EPL is not the Serie A or Bundesliga.
A bench-warming lookman left Everton to Dortmund and was scoring goals for fun.

Curtisaxel7:
We tend to overlook Iwobi's shortcomings more than Nacho's. Maybe because Iwobi is FB, maybe because he is Okocha's cousin, maybe because he is supposed to be the team's "poster boy".

But to be brutally honest with ourselves, dude is quite average too.

It's horrifying really.

2 assists against Liverpool home and away and a goal against Chelsea at home this season tells of his quality.

Which other Super Eagles player has scored or assisted against a top 6 team in the EPL?

darkelf:
Oga, iwobi has already become nacho. Compare their stats make you see.

Our National team will fail at AFCON if these gys keep on like this

Iwobi is different from Nacho.

He is our current no.10 and has clocked more minutes under Emery than Wenger.He even had an assist in their last game and was a major threat going forward for his team.He even scored in their last 2 or 3 games where Ozil assisted him.

How is he similar to Nacho who have only clocked few minutes in his teams last 3 games?When last did Nacho score or assist?

andrew444:
Its musa that played 21 games and score 2 goals and not Moses

Maddison has played from the flank this season for more than 5 times

How do you know Moses is no more good as a winger ? It's been long he played there so you can't know or are you God ?

The last time I checked Richarlison of Everton played 38 Epl games last season as a winger and scored only 5 goals and end up getting a move to Everton at 40million is that not also poor ?

If musa play 38 games you Think he won't get more than 5 goals ?

If you are suggesting on something bring proove

The last time I check world class hazard according to Chelsea fans haven't score 20goals a season and some dumb Chelsea fans says he is better than Neymar seems it's all about goals and assists

Am aware you are talking of Musa not Moses.

Moses was anonymous against England, made no impact against Czech, was poor against Croatia.

I will start Chukwueze ahead of both Moses and Kalu any time, any day.

We would have progressed from the group stages if we started with a 3-5-2 with Ebuehi and Moses as RWB and LWB respectively.

Hazard is not only world-class but a game changer.In their first 2 matches this season he came off from the bench to provide an assist in each of the match which earned him the RW.

Football is all about end-product.

How many assists did Richarlison have last season? You only talk of goals.

Samuel Kalu is now competing with Chukwueze for the RW.Do you think he will be able to keep Chukwueze or Onyekuru on the bench for a long time?

andrew444:
Agreed with some of what you said

But Moses shine as a winger on the Epl at Wigan ?

You are quick to forget that

Bros as far as wingers are concerned Moses is a better player than Maddison

Musa didn't failed at Leicester musa wasn't in Craig Shakespeare plans ,musa played 21 games in the Epl under ranieri and scored 2 goals which is not bad for a winger

You said victor moses is only good as a winger against African opposition,I guess he was playing for lobi stars in the caf champions league when Chelsea scouted him ? You are so funny


Chelsea bought a player from relegated threatened Wigan sha a lot

Why bringing the Iceland game here ? What did nacho played on the Iceland game ? Smh for you

Madison is more creative than Moses.They don't play the same position while one is an AM, the other is a WB.

2 goals in 21 games is poor if he doesn't have up to 8 assists.

Players metarmophose with time.Moses was good as a winger then but not now.

Moses can't get playing time as a winger for 6 straight game for any of the top 8 EPL team.

Why do you think we played Mikel as 4 and Moses as RWB when we needed a win against Iceland?

andrew444:
Did I tell you Moses is kicking the ball ?

Lol ,you are already changing it ,did I compare tom to sterling ? We are talking of Maddison and not sterling or rashford ,when you have nothing to say please admit to the truth than bring others players to it ,please remind me of where I compared him to sterling

He didn't win the league alone but he was among and he helped Chelsea,if Moses was error prone Chelsea might not win the league

So because saying Moses is a better winger than Maddison means I am overrating him ? Bros you no get anything wey you wan talk ,go back and read my message okay

Yes Moses is an average player I know please remind where I called him world class ? Don't you know how to read ,now is Maddison world class ?

I didn't call sterling or rashford ,bro please stop disgracing your intelligence

Seems you don't know the meaning of overating google will help you

When you are pointless it's better you admit than to change the topic and bring in sterling , smh for you

Mind you ,you are very clueless

Happy new year in advance

As a wing-back Moses is one of the best in the premier league but as a winger he is not close to any leicester or Arsenal winger.

Even Musa failed to cut it with Leicester.

Prior to the WC against European opponents, Moses struggled both as a winger and as a false 9.

We may have lost the friendly against Argentina with Moses present.

We defeated Iceland because we opted for Nacho and Musa upfront.

V.Moses didn't make any impact against England and Croatia because he played as a winger.

V.Moses is only good as a winger against african opposition.

gamaliel9:
Ndidi need a coach who will guide him on passes....he sure knows how to hammer those long range bombs....did it against Chelsea....He can score too...In future i see him reverting to his original poistion under Siasia...Centre Back...

Convert one of the best DMF in EPL to a CB?


U for play Mikel as 10 for Chelsea, since he played as 10 in U20.Also remember to play Musa Yahaya as a winger for Porto B since he played as a winger for the U17.

Youth football is different from professional and senior football.

andrew444:
I can give you 2 championship player who have been called up by England and got game time

The message am trying to pass is that Rohr doesn't rate players in back-water leagues.

Osimhen a Wolfsburg loanee got invited while playing in belgium, same way Mason mount a Chelsea loanee got invited while playing in the Championship.

We should also recall that Kalu never got a call-up till he left for French ligue 1.In his debut match he started ahead of Onyekuru who only got to play for 5 mins.

charlesemeka85:
Southgate few months ago invited Chelsea loanee to derby to the national team. Can't remember his name buh he is an attacking midfielder and a promising young star

Did he get to play?

Which other championship player was invited?

The same way Rohr called up Olamilekan Adeleye for the SA and Ugandan clash.

Did any championship player make their world cup squad?

do4luv14:
bros abeg kooly done ooo,
backwater you say,

so nah our own wey produce EZENWA, abi who mak ah call,
naim be front water abi middle water league

Uzoho got a call-up just because he kept twice for Deportivo La Coruna under Pep Mel.

Chukwueze got his own call-up just because he featured for Villarreal in a Europa league game.He even displaced Onyekuru.

When last did England Senior national team invite a player in the Championship?

Joebie:
Chikeluba Ofoedu scored the opener in Macaibi Tel Aviv’s 3-0 trashing of John Ogu’s Beer Sheva today.

The truth is Rohr doesn't rate players in Belgium,Turkey,Ukraine,Switz,Norway and other back-water leagues.Ighalo is still in the team because there is no player in Europe's top 5 league to compete with him.

BascoVanVeli:
He had a special moment in the match that is not up for dispute but you can't even name one other thing that he did right. Did he create anything else apart from that? After the goal he was deposited in our defenders pocket, they didn't let him come out and play.

I advise you rewatch the match.

Throughout the first-half he was troubling the left side of our defence particularly Omeruo with his pace,tricks and runs.

Is it any time that a winger makes runs,dribbles or out-paces a defender that he gets an assist or a goal?

If he didn't get an assist then you can say he wasn't outstanding.

Finito.

BascoVanVeli:
Where was the end result? Name one other thing that Percy Tau did, that is what I have been asking u ever since u came into this conversation. I repeat that SA had one single shot on target in 90 minutes. Btw are CBs now supposed to be world class sprinters? I wonder which defender u know has never been passed by a winger.

At least he got an assist after being the best player for both teams.

The guy was a threat throughout the first-half.

BascoVanVeli:
Simple mistake. Both Omeruo and Ekong were on the scene of the crime and u only pinpoint Omeruo as the fall guy. U said he was very very poor and that showed the match was not all that was on ur mind. U know what u are doing so let me not stop u.

Omeruo struggled to cope with Percy Tau's pace throughout the first-half.

Omeruo lacks pace.Even against Seychelles he had to foul their left-wing forward for getting past him.The same happened against Argentina where Messi outpaced him to score.He has always struggled to cope with pacy forwards.

BascoVanVeli:
But didn't Tau cut in from the right to make his assist? But i need to rewatch the game abi?

It's from our left side that had Omeruo not right.

BascoVanVeli:
You are just mixing yourself up. Tell us what else your Tau did apart from the assist. Did he have a shot? Did he create another chance? Who did he put under pressure? Was it Balogun, Ekong, Collins or Kalu? The only one sentimental here is you. You are going against reality just to prove a point

How come you didn't mention Omeruo? The goal even came from his side.He was also under pressure throughout the first- half.

You are being biased and tagging me a hater.

BascoVanVeli:
So am I safe to say that u just don't like Omeruo? Why have i not heard u mention any other player? Seems u just want to bash Omeruo and nothing more.

Stop being biased, Percy Tau was not effective in the right.

Bro,rewatch the game.

BascoVanVeli:
What room? Outside the goal Omeruo didn't even have much to do so I am shocked that you can say he was very very poor. You can never say that when the other team only had one shot on target and one chance created the whole match. How does that even work? A team had one single attack and you are saying our defender was poor. Ezenwa could have written a book with all the free time he had on his hands.

From Pulse.ng

Goal for South Africa
All credit to Percy Tau here, dribbles
Omeruo to run clear of Super Eagles
defence before squaring for Mothiba
to score in an empty net.

This is just one of them.I advise you rewatch the game.

BascoVanVeli:

Even Yobo confirmed our defenders gave him room to operate.

See,Percy Tau finished Omeruo that day.

BascoVanVeli:
One assist is now the definition of lively abi? Samuel Kalu had an assist but also had a shot on target. Was just as good defending as he was going forward, ran the SA backline rugged. If we compare the two it is clear that Tau was not even close to the MOTM. If our goals stand Percy would have only been a side note

Omeruo was very very poor on that day, giving Percy Tau room to operate freely.I wonder if the talks of him stopping Griezman against Atletico was true.

Percy Tau was unplayable in that match, none of our players did as much as he did.

chrisooblog:
guy I'm also baffled about this mythology they keep spreading. South africa that scored from their only shot on target were poor it is now percy Tau who was exceptional

Percy Tau troubled the left side of our defence and made Omeruo look terrible many times.

Mikel Agu rated as the best player for his team with 7.8 rating according to who scored and the 3rd best player in the match which they lost 3 -1.

My only problem with this guy is his constant back passes.He needs to have that confidence to move the ball forward and play more forward passes for Eagles.

junnyjake:
This is his second year, playing in the Champions League and still hasn't scored. He should do better.

Not even an assist in a champions league game.

I think Rohr wants him to leave the Turkish league for one of Europe's top 5 league.

If Rohr were to consider players in Turkey, Emem Eduok should be called up ahead of Onyekuru .

Onyekuru has played up to 10 champions league games, how many more does he need to secure a work permit to play in England?

Famocious:
For Porto B..

I hope the duo of Musa and Kelechi can request for a loan for to modest club in the Belgian league.. This can bring a necessary resurgence to their dwindling careers

Maybe for Musa,Nwakali even failed to cut it in the Eredivisie.

tbaba1234:
Essentially saying Nigeria has not shown serious interest.

He also said the NFF contacted his agent.

komekn:
Did you watch the game❓

Rangers are technically inferior to Villarreal and half to compensate with harder work rate and pressing.

This is obvious, any time a team is down to 10 men they have to work way harder and are at a clear Disadvantage.

This is not about Chukwueze but the whole team. And it's an indictment on the Lower segment of La Liga. That they couldn't finish off Rangers.

I watched the whole game not just Chukwueze.

On your comment. I have never compared himas a player to Umar. I really expected him to score, l expected him to start but none of that happened.

You were typing all those just to downplay his goals in case he scores.

komekn:
Game over 0-0

Chukwueze came on and just not enough time to show anything. He had One very good shot on goal, but then I expected him to finish off Flanagan, but Flanagan actually skilled him and took the ball off him on one occasion. But he did get him back with good skill and got him yellow carded with trickery.

Extremely disappointed with Villareal a La Liga team. Rangers would be flogged comprehensively by Fulham bottom of the EPL.

I expect expected them to win comprehensively and not struggle. For a whole half Rangers were down unjustifiably to 10 men and Villareal could not take advantage.

Rangers would definitely struggle with the top half of the Championship.

What happened to Everton in the last Europa league? They couldn't even qualify from their group.
