Lol on the basis of these 2 games, I agree. But it was Lesotho.

jihday:
Yes, the top 5 ranked vs the next 5 ranked

BascoVanVeli:
Balogun captaining in Balogun stadia

The last time Balogun took the band he appeared to be overwhelmed and it showed in his performance that day.

JohnBullMySon:
I think Rohr might prefer to start Onuachu and bring in either Osimhen or Iheanacho as a substitute. You know Iwobi is fit right?

Samueltemi337:
Who go come be captain?

DrKlever:
false positive result from benin. I said it here that i don't trust the result.

IDENNAA:
You said sideways passes but Iwobi could never take on a player one-on-one, he would still play sideways. Iwobi is not good at crossing neither could he shoot...have you forgotten so soon ?

ChrisKels:
Ajagun has not retired, forget the adjective(European), water dun find en level, and dude is languishing in South African second division when he is supposed to be in his prime

2nd gini?

Dude be tryna euphemise the very unfortunate situation. Retired indeed.

IDENNAA:
I don't see what you miss in Iwobi. However, I think our midfield woulda been worse if the makeshift Iwobi was there. We know Iwobi is good at 1-2 and scores but we need a natural midfielder and Iwobi is not one.

IDENNAA:
But Rohr would rather condemn him to bench.....honestly, only Chukwueze can match Onyekuru when it comes to wing play and skills

nairalandankrah:
But he has to agree to go back to mancity

Canada2021:
Please will naija match be televised on dstv

Iheanacho’s current deal with the Foxes, worth £60,000-a-week, expires next year, A new contract will see his salary increase to £90,000-a-week..
Who would've thought

Actually in the immediate HERE and NOW he is the most IN -FORM striker that Nigeria has.

However, he has scored in consecutive matches, he looks way sharper and brimming with CONFIDENCE the oil that produces goals.

Is it a flash in the pan or is it better things to come after 4 seasons of outright mediocrity. Only time will tell.

The cherry on the pie would be Leicester beating Man city on Saturday and KC scoring that will put all the past under perfoming years to bed. Even if they don't win, and KC can score against his former employers, just one goal two would be bliss and three would amazing.

When things go well and you are performing the past is often forgotten and replaced with the HERE and NOW.

The key component of a quality top class striker is CONSISTENCY he needs to get that.

Let's see the next 9 coming games before the end of the season, to call yourself a quality striker he should really score at least 6.

I am actually impressed, it seems he has finally climbed out of his perennial doldrums.

andrewbaba44:
An 18 year old pique have no chance at man united with world class vidic and rio Ferdinand playing at his position so he isn’t a failure

charlesemeka85:
Maduka hv improved a whole lot ooooo

For now he is better than uzoho

AndSunGorilla:
Good points sir. Am just curious as to why we haven't had an African star in Man Utd, despite some good mentions with Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and even City. At some point in time, I also used to think South Americans also have it tough in Man Utd for whatever reason, Forlan, Veron even Tevez, just my own thoughts.

charlesemeka85:
you forgot to add veron

charlesemeka85:
djemba djemba was brought in as a cover and understudy to scholes but dude flopped big time

fortune was decent but had a roy keane to contend with

bailly have not been fortunate with fitness and injuries

kendrick93:
Okocha played only one game, as a sub against ivory coast

zoboizee:
I equally believes Uzoho is better than Okoye. Funny how some people think Okoye should be our number one goalie. The guy to me is poor at crossing or aerial ball.

TheGoodJoe:
Anderson took a fall for Mikel. If Anderson agreed Mikel signed that deal with Manchester United, Mikel would have been in trouble with the forces behind the scene.

Anderson could not also say Ferguson knew about them trying to sneak Mikel behind the forces.

So he accepted he forged Mikel's signature. Went to jail and let Mikel go to Chelsea.

The Ferguson team really loved Mikel and I hope Nigeria raises another gem with the class of Mikel again.

Odunayaw:
waaaat

Is he describing an own goal

AndSunGorilla:
True that, the same way he turned Eric Djemba Djemba to world class!!!! By the way I haven't seen an African ( full blown) thrive at Man Utd, Quinton fortune and Bailly are the best from africa to feature for them and that says a lot.

chrisooblog:
You make good points however Shittu was the one who orchestrated Mikel's trials with Chelsea. Ferguson knew he had no chance getting Mikel through Shittu. Hence the reason why he used Anderson to try and get Mikel. He also probably thought Mikel would probably want to be his own man having just turned 18 but unfortunately for Sir Alex he didn't reckon that Chelsea had other leverage on the young man.

If you know Sir Alex's notorious disdain for agents then his actions won't have surprised you.

TheGoodJoe:
I heard there were lots of threats and secrecy behind that saga. Mikel had no choice from his former agent, Anderson. But, why did Chelsea not let him be when they could sign anyone at that time.

TheGoodJoe:
How did he let Mikel slip? The only blame Ferguson can get is allowing Mikel sign with Lynn Oslo after discovering him. He should have stayed in Manchester United and not waited for a future deal.

After unveiling Mikel, John Shittu came with his mafia movement to scatter the deal. Mikel had to admit he signed the deal under duress to save his neck.

So Ferguson can not get blamed for it.
