Scoring bulk of his goals in the Spanish 2nd and 3rd tier and he's regarded a legend? That's to tell you the quality of the Granada team.

80% of those goals were scored when Granada was in Segunda B (Spanish third division). Where it mattered most, the Segunda (the second division) and Laliga, Ighalo faltered as usual, so it was not out of place to say he was trash at Granada
You can see.

He even failed to stamp his authority in the LaLiga. He only made it to England just because of the Pozzo connection.

I am in the medical field Mister man so this is not about whether Osimhen is at Napoli or Juventus. So my stance on this would be the same. Health first before selfish football interests!!! We are in a pandemic. Get that into your head okay. Merci.
It doesn't matter if you're a medical bla, bla and bla, why are they the only ones stopped from playing? Are they the only club in Serie A? Is Corona virus only prevalent in Naples? Just after 2 positive cases and that's enough reason to stop them from travelling? With Genoa, at least we understand.

I didn't imply anything. Comprehend first before u react Mr All The Substance. Too bad your own substance doesn't help u understand simple English. The koko of my comment was that nobody notices your misses when u are new.

Then u say he was trash in Granada when the man has all but a statue there grin that's just silly.
21 goals in 106 games for Granada, that's at least average, I accept that I was a bit harsh on that regard.

Simple English? it was you who jumped into my mentions trying to make it look as if Ighalo is some victim of undue criticism and I merely reminded you that he wasn't up to scratch from the beginning, but we were patient with him, so you can't make it look like Ighalo is just hated for no reason.

So his father didn't die? Are fathers not important to some?

He scored against Chad and was not invited for the subsequent matches. Siasia brought him back into the fold. Why would I argue facts? Yes he had a poor world cup but he put his head down and worked harder to prepare for his next opportunity. We all know how that turned out even though u also didn't mention that one.

See u are just a hater trying to use football as a cover. All u did was tell the side of the story that favours ur motive. Ighalo is not the striker of the team. That job belongs to Victor Osimhen EOD. At the end of the day the anger really is that the man ended his story perfectly. U would have been much happier if he had flopped even prior to the AFCON.
cry cry

You're a sad Mr.

Where did I imply that his father is of no importance? Please? He should have taken 3 years off to mourn na.

You lack substance, that's why you've rushed to call me a hater using football as a cover. Man! I never attacked his person, I only made mention of the fact that he was trash for a long while, from Udinese, to Granada, to watford before he managed to hit it, at that point he still was useless to the National team, all these, I can recall from the top of my head, no google needed.

You implied that I'm giving Dessers a soft landing because he's new to the team and I responded by saying, Ighalo was trash for a while and we were patient with him till he picked up at the AFCONQ and subsequently the AFCON proper.

What Osimhen has done at 21, did Ighalo achieve half at the same age?

Oga if u want history lesson then ask grin

We had 3 different coaches during that AFCON run and all Siasia did was bring sanity back to the national team. I think those were the only games Ighalo started in those qualifiers. The only chance he had was stolen from him by ViMo anyways so I don't know what misses u are talking about cos if he did people would still be talking about it.

Ighalo only started missing after he lost his dad and we all know the death threats that followed so don't give me that nonsense of Ighalo having it somehow easy. Man has been hated since day one.
Look at someone who wants to give me a history lesson. He can't remember anything about Ighalo's horror show in the SE at that time, but he has made excuse for him already.

Of all the games he started how many goals did he score? Ok, aside the ones he scored against Chad, if he was prolific who would have sat him on the bench?

After misfiring in 2 legs against Egypt during Sia1's time, He did same against Tanzania, Rohr then rightly sent him out of the team, too bad our other strikers didn't step in to do better, then he was recalled for the Cameroonian game where he reclaimed his spot, from then on till the conclusion of the World Cup, he scored zero goals, zilch!!! This is a player y'all are touting to be a savior of some sort?

That's a load of sentiment based negative bias nonsense.

"Ighalo was trash for so long"

Ighalo had a break out season in the EPL with Watford. Thats why he was able to get a crazy $$$$ contract with Chinese football.

If Ighalo has been trash for so long what then is KChuh
Yes, we depended on the Watford man to qualify us for the 2017 Afcon, but, your man kept missing chances that day in Kaduna, with his pedigree at club level, he still couldn't translate it to a goal at the qualifiers.

I blame Sia1 he should have put him on the bench for the MLS Adi.

KC has 9 goals in the national team presently, how many did Ighalo score at his age?

So u missed all those matches Iheanacho started ba? Add Salami and Aaron Samuel.

Ighalo didn't get a clear run at the number 9 position until around the world cup qualifiers and even at that it wasn't until the AFCON qualifiers that he was undisputed number one
Your excuses are so lame.

Why didn't he outperform Nacho? In fact how many minutes did Nacho played more than Ighalo?

Ighalo was trash for so long, he should thank Sia1 and Rohr for his career progress.

At the Afcon qualifiers, he misfired and we failed to qualify.

Nigerian. The 27-year-old started his
career with Favoritner AC Youth, but
currently plays for Bundesliga side, Mainz
05.
He has scored four goals and provided
six assists in 24 appearances for Die
Nullfünfer this season. He plays as a
centre-forward with a height of 1.88m
Onisiwo is a married man and has a
child. Although he has spent all his life in
Austria, he has not featured for the
senior national team which makes him
still eligible for the Super Eagles.
How old is this post.

Dude even has a goal for his national team.

Okay fine no problem these are negatives and it will be sorted out in the subsequent match remember this is just a friendly and we've been out for months let's just hope for the best. With torun and tosin paring in the defense we should have a strong center halves and ehzibue is coming we have a strong midfield with ndidi and aribo and 80% of those that played yesterday are bench warmers so why you fusing huh

Seems nobody wants to say it, but there is nothing special about Akpoguma. Before he committed and even when he did I was not as excited as I would be if it was either Toruna, Adarabi or Udu. I always maintained that Awaziem and even Omerou are levels ahead of him as a center back but some guys were rating him higher just because he plays for Hoffeinhen.


BTW, Balogun remains our best center back, dude is getting better as he ages ala Italian players
I didn't show any excitement at his switch at all.

He's not an upgrade on Awaziem.

This Rohr guy has done nothing to improve this team, the only positive from employing this man is helping us get some foreign born players based solely in Germany. We have always had this creative midfield issues, yet this yeye coach overlooked Eze while piling up the team with destroyers and lug of woods in Onazi, Agbo, Agu, Ogu etc
This post was made on the 26th of February 2018


elunico:
I still don't think we've gotten it right with our midfield. I know you want to point out the depth we have in that area, but wait a minute.

Their style of play are similar, we've got Ndidi, Onazi, Agu and Agbo (only that he's a bit more disciplined when asked to shield the defense, otherwise he's just another tackling machine) Etebo is a workaholic like the rest, we won't miss him if he fails to make the final 23 to the WC, and I'm not really excited about his recent performance in Spain. It's really funny how Rohr expects his Midfield to blend when he takes out Mikel to bring in an Agu who's a destroyer to partner with other midfielders like Ndidi and Onazi.

The only different midfielders we currently have in the team are Mikel & Ogu. I'm simply not satisfied with the Midfield selection

Insults are not needed. I know a lot are passionate but let's tone down on the insults. I was not expecting wonders TODAY. We were a bit bellow AVERAGE to be honest.
Passing and crosses might be our undoing.
I felt Rohr needs to sort out his first eleven quickly. Tunisia are not on Algeria s level and it showed. If we play Algeria with our full team, I feel we might struggle as our passing is suspect.
We wasted this two friendlies in my opinion. Especially during this lockdown period.
Total waste!

What do you call someone whose ineptitude soars to astronomical levels? A DUNCE!!

He seldom learns from his mistakes.

We'd definitely find it hard against the Algerians because he's tactically rigid.
