Make Ejuke enter, abeg.

I still can't understand the tactics behind using 2 DM if you are not ready to allow your wing backs to support the attacks.

Icon4s:
We need to do more.

We cannot always be relying on Players who see us as second choice

Okay

Utonwanne:
He's and Aina might be possibly be better than Reece

Ebuehi is not better than Aina.

Utonwanne:
Is he not?

He is not.

Utonwanne:
Playing for Chelsea or England doesn't mean they are better.

Aina was believed to be better than Ebuehi until they play in GWG . If Aina had chose to stay at Chelsea as an understudy, he will likely be benching James, everything being equal

This is no Sentiment. They are some better player in lower leagues

Is Ebuehi better than Aina?

kentebemoney:
In man management? There is room for sentiment.

Room for mediocre too, right?

smartsmith0907:
Yes that's true but rohr wants to use this match to boost okoye's confidence
You should rohr always know his squad.okoye will definitely start I also think that ajayi will start ahead of agu

Sentiment at play. Performance in training means nothing to Rohr based on what you wrote here.

tbaba1234:
Okoye is the default first choice at the moment since Uzoho and Akpeyi are out. Rohr talked about Yakubu starting one of the games. Alampasu might also get some minutes.

Why? Is he better?

Icon4s:
Oga, this is a different case. 95% of the French national team players are groomed in France.
We should also groom players in Nigeria.

Football development is what we are talking about. I don't have any problems with foreign groom players, but we should also groom players locally for foreign export and for the national team.

We are already doing the bolded. Don't you think so?

It seems like you don't understand me..

Players based in Europe aren't the same with those born in Europe..

Osimhen, Iheanacho, Chukwueze are based in Europe but they are a product of our football system...
Ekong,Aribo, Aina,etc were born abroad,are based abroad and are a product of a foreign football system..

Of course ,there's nothing wrong in having foreign born players in our national team as long as they have the quality to improve the team.. but if it gets to a stage where our national team is overfilled with foreign born players because the home grown players aren't good enough, then it would be had for us...
We need to put more effort into developing our sports sector..

Lots of talents are wasting away here..

Developing our sports sector can augment the quality of talent and raise the bar. Nevertheless, they will still have to prove themselves in Europe the same way the foreign born players are proving themselves.

Danielnino00:
We are talking about foreign born players not players based abroad...

Brazil, Argentina, USA,etc have quality football infrastructure to develop their players...they don't need another country to do it for them like in the case of Nigeria..

Our football infrastructure is a mess !
From the grassroot to the professional level...

Our infrastructure is a mess. No doubt about that but it doesn't change the fact that the best players in the world are found in Europe or should I say must prove themselves in Europe.

Danielnino00:
The French team is filled with French players of African heritage born in France and are a product of French football system...
The French are just reaping the rewards for their own hardwork ..
The reverse is the case for Nigeria...we are reaping another country's hard work...
Our sports administrators need to do more...
Football,and sports in general is one very important sector that can reduce poverty and crime rates among youths in this country...

What is the difference between Brazil, Argentina, U.S.A etc and Nigeria when it comes to relying on players in Europe?

I agree with the last paragraph though.

mostob:
what i am saying is they should be competing with those countries you mentioned.
Forget WC, what of Euro? The fact is England is overrated.

I should forget the biggest competition in the world and talk about a continental tournament, huh?

mostob:
Fourth place? When they should be aiming higher than that with all the calibre players at their disposal. Na their mate dey reach final.

Okay, the like of France, Croatia, Belgium, Germany, etc come sell guguru and epa, abi?

Icon4s:
We are drifting towards a period when all Nigerian starting 11 would be foreign born.

The NFF really needs to step up and boost football development at the local level.

Is there any problem with that if they are better than what we have at home?

What do you have to say about the French team full of foreigners?

smartsmith0907:
I respect Southgate..but he is kinda clueless and he is not a tactical genius like the media hype him and fourth position is not impetus for those kain England should be in the top 3 best team in the world they have the quality.

Are you saying France, Croatia, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Germany are inferior teams compared to England?

smartsmith0907:
Even 6-0 they have the chances that why I said south gate is clueless if am a coach with south gate players at my disposal I would have given Naija the biggest defeat of their life.

The same Southgate took England to the fourth position in the world cup.

Please, respect the man.

There are a variety of factors that determine what makes a big club, trophies won, legendary players, stadium capacity and so on.
The end result usually causes plenty of debate among supporters, keen to put forward their argument as to what makes their beloved club the best.


Real Madrid have long been considered the best team in the world

Real Madrid have long been considered the best team in the world
Thankfully, France Football have managed to compile a list of the 30 biggest clubs in the world and have based the end results on ten specific reasons, with each worth points.

They are:

1 Number of players in the squad to have won a World Cup
2. Continent level titles won (eg; Champions League),
3. Shirts sold per year
4. Annual revenue
5. Record transfer fee paid
6. Average attendance
7. Market value of current squad
8. Ballon d’Or trophies won since 1956
9. Social media followers
10. Clubs with the biggest mythical status

According to these criteria, the top biggest clubs in the world are:

1. Real Madrid
2. Barcelona
3. ManU
4. Bayern Munich
5. Liverpool
6. Juventus
7. PSG
8. Chelsea
9. Manchester City
10. Arsenal

Apparently, Arsenal is bigger than Athletico Madrid based on these criteria.

Aside Odion, which Nigerian player is currently in any of these clubs?

I am not talking about the best clubs now ooo.

TheSuperNerd:
Nooo... Not that. But you are always on a "debunking hunt" especially with screenshots of different kinds.... Kaaaiii... You ehn. Small time you go even debunk yourself. Lol

Hahahaha! Abeg carry your wahala go. Lmao.

TheSuperNerd:
I swear to God when I clicked on this page number and began scrolling from below and saw Screenshots of Drogba with UCL trophy and his achievements.... Kaaaiiii... I just knew it is Forgiveness at it again!!!! And behold!!! It was indeed Forgiveness! Ahn ahn!

Guy!!! Wetin Naa?!! We get Match!!! U no dey tire?? Haba!

So make I no debunk lie, abi?

elyte89:
Dont blame Andrew..I am very sure majority of dem started following european football keanly in '03/04 era

Not d time when we trek long distance to watch matches during d years of satellite dish owned by d richest person in d whole area

I agree with you. E bi like say na 2004 Andrew begin watch ball.

In the 90s, Chelsea was a very well known club. Na since that time I don dey follow Chelsea. Zola era.

True! Na true Satellite dish people dey watch matches den.

andrewbaba44:
Na 2004 people recognize Chelsea as better club world wide

Newcastle won the premier league title before you

European winners cup and Super cup Chelsea won in 1998 na Abakali or Ogbomosho world wide recognised competitions?

Why you dey misyan updan na?

andrewbaba44:
Okay maybe I should have said better concerning arsenal and atm right ?

But Chelsea is a new club nah ,no be 2004 una begin win trophies ?

2004? Why you like to dey misyan like this eh?

Maybe these people are living in another world entirely different from where Covid19 halted everything.

Some people should use their brain.

smartsmith0907:
Rohr is showing more tactical prowess creativity is now coming from the wings and full backs we dont really need to rely on the midfield.

That's what I am talking about.

timay:
Musa case is very disappointing though. At his age, nigga can't even make a decent cross as a winger, and he's been playing for a decade now

Musa was actually a striker before he was converted to a winger in Holland.

Utonwanne:
Because I know

. Your opinion.

Utonwanne:
Yes,,, I believe he will do good. Any problem?

How do you know?

Utonwanne:
I believe more in Tijani

Are you joking or what? What kind of gamble is this?

Let us see him play first.

Icon4s:
Bros Calm down. Let's discuss more of the players in camp.

The list has been drawn and players have been invited so let's move on please.

Alright sir. But I will reply my mentions oooo.

nelszx:
Look at this picture clearly, you see where he is, that's where an AM/SS play not in central midfield.

What is different from what I posted?
