Na so we see am oo!

@Ibime, I agree that sometimes you need to switch formation according to the opposition but I totally disagree that the diamond formation is the problem.

Remember we were  bangin.g in goals like no man business just 2 months ago? We even kicked them L'arses right where it pains most? Tell me what formation were we playing then? was it not the same diamond?

From your earlier post, you stated this . . ."The diamond formation does have its merits. It allows you to dominate possession and play pretty football".

This precisely is the problem. . .we dominated nada! Take the matches against Wigan and Westham as examples?

Against Villa - We did dominate but fell to set pieces. In fact most of the goals conceded this season were from set pieces. How sad!

You know, some prefer zonal marking to man-to-man marking but the point is, nothing can stop that ball going in if it will go in. Someone will definitely make a mistake and it is mistakes that lead to goals. That's what this game is all about.

Formation I don't think is the problem. The players to execute it maybe but then again, what formation do you have to play to make Kalou score regularly or at least hit the target? I'm not the type to talk down on our players but we all know that this boy can miss 10 chances out of 9!!! 

Joe Cole? His sharpness ain't just back yet. A couple of more games and you will see the difference.

DS came on and did well. . .looks sharper and more relaxed which is good.
Borini? After that "miss-of-the-day" against Portsmouth needs to cool down. If he does that again, I'm afraid his next chance won't come soon.

One question though, why are we not playing The Prince? What happens if the ban comes into play? Meaning that he won't be playing for another 2 months for Chelsea?

@ Chelseans
Supposing the transfer ban comes into effect, can we realistically last for 2 seasons with our current squad? Do we hope to win anything during that period?

Me thinks We need to buy 3 players. 2 - MFs and maybe 1 roaming forward like Nic. We play much faster that way. The down side though is that Nic sometimes stays too freaking long on the ball.

The problem here is who do we buy? What are the chances of making QUALITY signings during the winter window?

semid4lyfe:
Aaah, finally- we agree on something in Nairaland

I'm just wondering. . .what does mama-gee know about Nigerian footie? I bet she said he would a good job because of his looks?   

snowdrops:
lionel messi

No need for the sarcasm.

Easy bros. . .no be question I ask?.

Way to go boi! Time to go international.

semid4lyfe:
No be na wa, na real wa! To be frank, I'm surprised I got a nomination on this board. Why you may ask - simply because I hardly post here. This explains why I'm just seeing this thread at this moment despite the fact that I've been coming online everyday and posting regularly in other sections (If I had known earlier, I would have dragged all my hommies in the phone, literature and computer sections to come and vote for me here ) . I only started coming to this section in the last 3/4 months or there about of this year, I don't support any football club and hence I hardly post in the football sub-board (don't think I've posted in that subsection more than 10 times this year) and I only post in this section just some days before, during or after any of our National team matches or sometimes just on some topical issues concerning our National teams. I doubt if any of the regular posters on this board know me sef. I think my Nairaland User Statistics says it all.

Nonetheless, I'm flattered and honoured by the nomination but IMHO, Sagamite deserves the award by a mile. He's the most analytical fellow I've come across in my short stay and participation on this board and I suspect he's psychic cos he speaks my mind on the major issues all the time. Hmm, Honeric01, dominique and the Mod, FBS are also worthy of mention.

@Semid4lyfe
Well I don't know why your name was included (actually I did)  but I felt you contributed fairly on this board. Now that you have proved otherwise can I strike out your name? 

Any objection from the house!

rasputinn:
BTW I hope Warri Wolves bounce back to the top of the premier league.They conceded in the 90th minute to Enyimba @ Oghara due purely to inexperience and tactical indiscipline

honeric01:
yes, it was a bad time to concede, cletus Itodo didn't show mercy at all by scoring the winning goal that shot Enyimba up the table.

Bros you both are off topic  

Why Glo Pulled of League Sponsorship

Fresh facts emerged at the weekend on why telecommunications giants Globacom Limited pulled out of the sponsorship of the Nigerian Premier League. And top of the ‘sins’ of the men managing the Premier League in Abuja was the unwholesome ‘dashing out’ of Glo money to consultants of the NPL.

A source close to Glo revealed at the weekend that despite the many accusations been peddled concerning the non remittance of the contractual money for the on going season, chiefs at the telecom company had indeed made up their minds not to continue with the deal because of the manner in which those who had no direct involvement with the current contract are making money at the NPL.

Fingers are been pointed at both Shehu Dikko, the marketing consultant to the NPL and one Emmanuel Oboh, the legal adviser to the league body as the two-some who have been getting paid from Glo money without any input in the new contract, which took effect in 2006.

Glo's current contract, which kicked in during the 2006 football season at a total cost, including value in kind, of N787 350 000, has now risen to N1 016 733 for the current season. Out of that sum, N922 383 000 is due in cash but the NPL claim that they are yet to receive a kobo, nearly six months since the payment was due.

honeric01:
let me tell you this, our league is not a one, two or three man race league, so even with 2 matches to go, no team is guaranteed the tithe.

Potential winners are


Bayelsa (defending champion)
Warri wolves
Kwara united
Heartland
Rangers
Pillars
Dolphins (not so sure)
3SC
Shooting stars
And Gombe United.

Check out the log, that should show you that it's not a matter of mouth.

What are you talking? I can't even see Enyimba on your list? Have you seen the table lately?
We TOP the table and 2 points clear! And you think they can't be among the potential winners? na wa o

Andre Uweh:
Nice video, but it did not capture fouls in African nations cups.

Yeah but nna men those tackles are NASTY!!!

arkinses:
FBS, how do you embed a youtube vid on NL?

Quite simple. . .

Follow the steps here.

1. Copy the youtube url e.g   
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhSLKQeltrY
2. delete watch?
2. Replace = with /
3. You should have http://www.youtube.com/v/qhSLKQeltrY
4. Now insert flash button (located just under the B _Bold sign)
5. End result should look like this [flaash=200,200]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhSLKQeltrY[/flash]
Note:1. It should be flash and NOT fla[i]a[/i]sh. I did that in order for you to see the end result.
         2. You can change the size of the video by increasing or reducing the value [ , ]

Hope this helps.

Chidi as LB? Nah I think that RB is his natural position. He plays that same position for his club.

Sorry but who is Mercy?

You should be the one sending the request!

Let me have a look. . .brb!

Oh yeah?

Drama. . .

Andre Uweh:
They are super eagles left full backs.
Both play in France, Marseilles and Renees.

@ Andre Uweh, you dey mind those 2 people? They know nuffing about Nigerian footie. They are not Nigerians.

@topic, who is better? I think the answer lies here. . .

Andre Uweh:
http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/features/soccerstar/2009/dec/21/soccerstar-21-12-2009-002.htm
In football he has a lot of characteristics that can earn him goals. For instance, he crosses the ball well, he is a free kick and penalty specialist and above all his legs are loaded with bullets. Such a player should be the dream defender of any coach in the world and it beats my imagination why Amodu is keeping him on the bench. I’ve watched the other guy play so many times and there is no doubt he is a good player. He is a great defender in the making, but for now, Taiwo is far better than him.”

Cappadona123:
Enyimba is very gud,i can c em winning d league

Yeah we run things. . .

And by popular demand _{Ibime you owe me one}  Monsieur OW11 will contest the election!

You saw it, I saw it, heck we all knew it. Wiki does wonders!

Ibime, over to you!

honeric01:
too early to fumble

Nothing go happen. We run things!

Ibime:
You lots are having a bubble. OW11 should be repping on the list of nominees in this section.

As for Sagamite, he's a foreign import. I doubt he knows the current managers of 3SC and/or Kano Pillars are.

Ibime, you don come again oo!      Because the guy is from Pora-court?

Oya Sagamite, it's your call!

I want to see this battle! 

Enyimba Eyin!!!!

We run things. . .

Sagamite:
