Ebuehi. Most of our foreign born kids will feel the same way too if they gave it a chance... the spirit in that team is amazing...The boy has blended so well with the team..

Rohr really messed up for not capping Ebuehi in our last match.

Mujtahida:
I'd keep mute not because I can't answer your boring yes or no poser but no need continuing the convo since you obviously can't grab simple nuances. Boring, too boring. Oya continue yapping yes or no, yes or no, Mr yes or no. . I'm done here. Aint I? Answer yes or no. Bwahahahahaha Bwahahahahaha.

I no ask you to write epistles, Oga. Answer yes or no. That's all.

Abi, he dey difficult?

shogz89:
bros Moses is a good dribbler but to say he is better than onyekwuru in that department is a capital NO.. Onyekwuru dribbles much more than Moses.

Nigeria International Victor Moses is among the top 100 dribblers in the world as far as it is concerned in the top five leagues across Europe.
The latest ratings released by Football statisticians CIES Football Observatory ranks Moses in joint 76 position 70 places behind Barcelona and Argentine superstar Lionel Messi who is ranked 6th in the world.

Is Onyekuru on the list? NO. Cefini.


Top 10 Premier League Dribblers

MARCH 31, 2012 BY BACK PAGE FOOTBALL
The Premier League does not have Lionel Messi, or no longer boast the trickery of Cristiano Ronaldo, but here are the top 10 players to have produced the most successful dribble attempts in the 2011/12 season to date:

10. Gareth Bale (Tottenham Hotspur) – 49

Last season’s PFA Players’ Player of the Year has dribbled past opponents on 49 occasions this season. This included a standout performance in a 2-1 victory at Wigan where the Welsh winger successfully dribbled past opponents on half a dozen occasions and scored Spurs’ second goal midway through the first half which proved to be the winner.

Gareth Bale has completed 82% of his open play passes in his 28 starts this season, an improvement of 8% on last season. In fact, Bale has improved his figures in the Goals Scored, Assists and Crossing Accuracy this season as last season’s award still remains a mystery. Or was it because of his solo effort against Internazionale in the Champions League that swung the voters his way for the Premier League award?

9. Nani (Manchester United) – 49

Despite suffering from a couple of injuries this season, the Portuguese winger has succeeded in 49 dribble attempts in 22 starts for Manchester United in the Premier League this season. The former Sporting player was instrumental in Manchester United’s 3-1 victory over Chelsea, handing Andre Villas-Boas his first defeat as Chelsea manager. Nani scored the second goal of the game with a rising drive from outside the area before winning a penalty in the second half (which Wayne Rooney failed to convert).

Nani has contributed with 6 goals so far this season and eight assists in open play. Both of these are down on last season when he was a strong contender for PFA Player of the Year. Nani’s 1,876 minutes in the Premier League this season are more than any other Manchester United midfielder during an injury hit season for the team.

8. Jose Enrique (Liverpool) – 50

One of Kenny Dalglish’s better signings during his second spell at Liverpool, Jose Enrique is the only defender who makes the list. The Liverpool full back who often overlaps Stewart Downing on the left flank has successfully beaten 50 opponents with the ball at his feet during the 29 Premier League games he has played.

Jose Enrique has played the full 90 minutes in each of the league games he has started this season, only missing Liverpool’s 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur in February. The former Newcastle left back has picked up just two yellow cards this season, with one of his strengths pinning wingers to the touchline. Enrique’s attacking abilities has seen him attempt 115 crosses leading to 2 assists in the Premier League to date.

7. Stephane Sessegnon (Sunderland) – 51

The Sunderland forward has been one of the better attacking players in the Premier League this season. Stephane Sessegnon is amongst the top 10 in successful dribbling attempts (51), open play chances created (46) and open play goal assists (7).

Stephane Sessegnon is currently Sunderland’s top Premier League goalscorer with 7 goals, making his return to score against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday following a three-match ban for a straight red card in the Tyne-Wear derby. The Benin international has improved his Pass Completion Rate, Crossing Accuracy and Minutes per Created Chance in comparison to the 13 starts he made last season.

6. Luis Suarez (Liverpool) – 52

Despite sitting out 5 Premier League games through suspension, Luis Suarez makes the top 10 having successfully dribbled past players on 52 occasions during his 25 game season. The controversial Uruguayan is Liverpool’s top scorer with seven Premier League goals to date.

No other player has committed more handballs than the six Luis Suarez has been penalised for to date. Another category Suarez leads is free kicks won per game. Some opposition fans won’t be too surprised to hear that stat.

5. Scott Sinclair (Swansea City) – 54

The Swansea City left forward has contributed to the Premier League debutants with 7 goals, all at the Liberty Stadium and five from the penalty spot. The former Chelsea youth scored 19 goals during the Swans’ promotion campaign last season and has adapted well along with the Welsh side in the Premier League.

Scott Sinclair scored one goal in his 18 Premier League appearances on loan at Wigan Athletic in 2009/10 and has greatly improved his goal rate with Swansea, scoring his 7 goals in 30 games. Sinclair has not scored since a 1-1 draw at home to Chelsea at the end of January.

4. Nathan Dyer (Swansea City) – 54

Praised for their exciting passing game, Swansea City also have two of the top five dribblers in the Premier League. Along with team mate Scott Sinclair, Nathan Dyer has taken the ball past opponents on 54 occasions through 30 games this season. Dyer caught national attention during a 3-2 victory over Arsenal in January where he scored the home side’s second goal after winning a penalty for the first in a game he dribbled past three Gunners.

Nathan Dyer has created more chances (25) than team mate Sinclair (22), but only has one assist compared to his team mates three. The former Southampton youngster has succeeded with 56% of his dribble attempts, whilst Sinclair’s success rate is 48%.

3. Moussa Dembele (Fulham) – 63

The lively Fulham forward has caught the attention of a number of football fans and pundits alike for his dribbling and technical ability. Moussa Dembele scored his only 2011/12 Premier League goal to date in a 2-0 victory at Wigan at the end of October. In that game, the Belgian international successfully dribbled past four opponents but failed to create a single opportunity for a team mates.

The former AZ player has scored four Premier League goals in 55 appearances, creating 74 chances for team mates, resulting in five assists during that time. Manager Martin Jol may want Dembele to increase his productivity levels at Craven Cottage, but the Fulham number 30 has certainly shown his ability to entertain in the English league.

2. Victor Moses (Wigan Athletic) – 72

Following the sale of Charles N’Zogbia to Aston Villa in the summer, Wigan Athletic fans and manager Roberto Martinez were looking at Victor Moses to fill in his place. The former Crystal Palace player has certainly had his opportunities on the left wing, but has yet to fill into the French man’s boots. Chairman Dave Whelan criticised his manager for leaving Moses on the bench for a home game with Swansea City recently, but the three Premier League goals scored by the Nigerian so far this seaso have made him anything but prolific.

Victor Moses’ 72 successful dribble attempts are down on the 109 Charles N’Zogbia produced in a Wigan shirt last season, and the new left-sided player is also down on the former’s goal assists; five to one. N’Zogbia’s nine goals last season were a big factor in Wigan avoiding relegation last season, can Victor Moses become the 2011/12 hero in the final eight games?

Now, show me where Onyekuru is the best dribbler in Belgium or among the best in Europe?

Make una stop to dey deceive people 4 here.

Martz101:
watching a YouTube highlight video don't show true reflection of the match details

Onyekuru is not a striker. EOD

Answer those plain questions and save it from literary meaning wey no dey dere.

Abi, na Bible bi Rohr's word wey we go dey look for spiritual meaning?

My friend, answer questions or keep mute. Thanks in advance, sir.

Coach Rohr's post-match comments

Coach Gernot Rohr: "We were lucky to have won this game against a very solid Polish side. [b]They created some big opportunities to score and were dangerous from set pieces that we found difficult to cope with but I praise my team for their victory."

"This team is a young team but also a team of leaders. If we stay humble & continue to work hard to improve our play we have huge potentials, but beating 2 FIFA top 10 teams in friendlies doesn’t mean we are now World Cup favourites."

Obafemi and Ideye are still playing in top leagues? ain't they?


They should be considered.


Make we see wetin Junior go bring for the team.








I just love his choice of words.

are the bolded true? Answer..Yes or No.


The things you wrote up ther did not add up. Sorry.

asha80:
yeah heard that but 19 yrs bikonu kwa

Make una free this guy age, abeg. After-all, he passed the MRI test. Didn't he?

Besides, when I heard him screamed 'make una hold that guy' I could decipher, he is actually a kid from his voice.

komekn:
But he plays week in week out mostly as a RB in the championship and has been voted the best RB in the championship.

A player needs opportunity so we can actually see what he can do. Training gives you some insight but he needs a full 45 minutes in a game before any initial deductions can be made.

The question has to be answered in relation to the SE does he bring something more than Shehu and or Ebuehi. So he should be tried at RB as well.

It's possible that Aina can play both RB & LB then that's a very good plus ➕ for the team.

I do think that Aina may combine better with V.Moses from thier Chelsea experience.

You have a very valid point there. Hmmmm!

gbosaa:
Obafemi Martins as well, how about Ideye, Ike Uche, Kalu Uche etc

Not everyone will be called to camp. I believe we have our best legs in camp at the moment.

Sometimes the manager and technical crew have to trust their instinct and invite those they think would execute their plans effectively. The boys did well seeing off Zambia, Algeria and Cameroon...Argentina tested them but we are insatiable, lots of us saud Argentina played without Messi. Same Messi...less Argentina beat Italy 2-0 last night.

Some called it luck, they beat Lewandoski’s Poland at home in front of a capacity crowd...whatever is the reason for the good fortune, may it continue to fall heavily on them...Next is Serbia...England game in my opinion is very important. I pray the Eagles don’t lose that game.

We have our best legs in camp and as much as I think Aluko is good, I think there are enough talents in the Eagles camp...hopefully we’d get to see Junior Ajayi against Serbia or England.

Obafemi and Ideye are still playing in top leagues? ain't they?


They should be considered.


Make we see wetin Junior go bring for the team.

Mujtahida:
Continue to live in 1994.

Do you think he is one of those dirty lying politicians of ours that will tell you.... we thrashed them....they were no match for us when we know the truth?

Dey deceive yourself.

Abeg...commot for road make I see road pass.

Martz101:
you just shot your self in the foot, watch that same YouTube, Thierry Henry goals, they are also from the left side of attack

Which foot? does it dispute the fact that Onyekuru did not score hand full of goals i the CF position?

komekn:
There was a lack of cohesion.

The invenrtive unpredictable spark that flair and skill give you was too obviously lacking.

The darling of this thread KC didnt stand up to.be counted as a forward players. You get boldness to crticiquality

It's not too late to bring in other players to be considered. Particularly experienced tried proven and tested players.

I agree. Sone Aluko and Obafemi Martins are the experienced tried proven and tested players. Yes.

He is just stating the truth, nothing special.

Daejoyoung:
Baba u don confuse me this time wahlai.

Hahahahahah!

ersonleads:
We really missed Mikel obi, dere was no balance in d midfield. Iheanacho can't play in dat position. Wished mikel played, dey could have make some couple of good passes from midfield to attack. Dey really did not play badly. It was just few times in training together after some months of playing together, believe dey will gel more & more when dey camp for world cup

Ndidi, Mikel and Joel combo could be devastating for any team. I hope Rohr tries that mo we see.

Joebie:
When he doesn't bring goals I want to see him do lots of pressing. He didn't do that today either.

Poor.. we have no choice but to settle for false nines. It's a good thing we tried a different formation today. Rohr is doing a great job.

There was no false 9 in that game yesterday because Ahmed Musa rightly played the striker role.

joseph1013:
Perspective: Poland was at home. We practically played and defeated a Lewandowski-led Polish side in front of a 42,000 polish crowd.

Not a small deal!

That's the koko. Nevertheless, the coach should make little adjustments.

sontoly:
The only positive from this game was the defence and goalkeeper, if not i dont we did anything good, no connection between the defenders and attackers, no coordination in the midfielder, I bet if that balogun clearance had been counted ( cos it was clearly a goal) we wouldnt have been saying mosses sabi dribble.

To me mosses played like a slowpoke, he is not a good teamplayer at all, only releases ball when he is under pressure, and that free kick shld av been taken by iheanacho.

The goalkeeper crises is not yet settled. Make we no deceive ourselves.

Uzoho lacks the basis of goalkeeping. We were exposed several times.

Lucque:
Moses Sabi dribble but onyekuru dribble pass am

That is not true and you know that.

Martz101:
we should be doing review of the match and not arguing this, by the way how many Eupen match did you watch

I saw some on YouTube and all his goals where from the LW and RW...

So, please, tell me how many goals he scored in the CF position in Eupen and Anderlecht?

daveP:
i think Moses needs a partner in crime that understands him in the team, like the Emenike-Ideye pair.

I noticed that after he dribbled, no one came out to receive him pass, no one. I have a problem though, he is selfish. and we don't need this at the mundial where we would be punished for that.


good angle, our defenders have improved in their comfy kinda passing and accuracy.


Balogun is low on confidence, he would have made mistakes if he was at CB. He did well at LB though.

Did Balogun play in the LB position?

lexyman:
[/b]


you mean Shehu still played when Ebuehi was on the pitch

No, I meant while he played.

sontoly:
joel obi is not near to be a replacement to mikel, he played rubbish today couldnt hold the ball or manage to keep it on the ground, the guy na big flop joor.

mosses has a mental issue, too selfish, doesnt pass and when he manages to cross na empty space this is unprofessional.

Which rubbish did Joel play? Please, explain. Thanks

ykalhaji:
Vic Moses... Sometimes you want to stone the guy, sometimes you want to Kiss the guy.

But the coach just sent a message to Nacho, sometimes you have to work for ya balls. Vic Mo is more important than Nacho, so Nacho has to develop his game to fit into how Vic Mo plays, although that diminishes the teams potential, but with the way Vic Mo can all of a sudden impact a game (like he did today with the penalty) I perfectly understand Rohr. He knows what he will get from Vic Mo day in day out.

Mikel Obi and Victor Moses are the most important players in the Super Eagles.

joseph1013:
He was playing too deep. Instead of creating, he was making too many rash tackles. At a point, I feared he would get a red. He eventually got a yellow.

I think Kelechi drifting to the 18-yard box affected Joel's connection with the attack. They were supposed to work together.

A question: For those who watch Torino's games, how much creativity does Joel pack in his game?

It was absent yesterday. I expected him to hold the ball, spray passes and generally dictate the tempo.

Onazi did drive forward and pushed the attack when he joined the foray at the latter stage of the match.

Maybe Joel Obi and Iheanacho acted on instructions but I think you are right about how they should have played.

Iheanacho should have played the S/S or AT role..

gbosaa:
Not leave the penalty for someone else. I meant him being substituted.

Ok sir. Thanks for the clarification.

Sainty92:
Victor Moses na baller shaa...

But some came here to tell us Onyekuru dribble pass am.

Rockyrascal:
I knew someone would bring up this x factor thing immediately Moses scored that penalty.

But truth be told Moses can be a big influence in this team; he just needs to improve more.

Hahahahahah!

gbosaa:
Easy does it. Moses got the penalty. He tucked it away. I still think he should leave.

Leave it for who?

joseph1013:
Mikel is just so important in this team.

Joel has been quite underwhelming. Not connecting with the attack like he should.

I think Joel Obi played deeper.

Mickael2:
Na Joel una wan blame now? What is Joel's style of play? Is he the type of player that will hold the ball and slow it down when our team is suffering? Is that why he was brought in? Joel has been way better than Ndidi as a matter of fact and both have done their work well. Why didn't we put in a ball holder in there? If Ighalo keeps Iheanacho on the bench then he should stay there, put in Ogu and let him be that ball holder. However maybe the coach has a secondary plan, second half now

I wonder ooooooo.

Humility017:
still haven't...bro.
how I wish he allowed nancho take that free kick...he missed.

Ok, because of freekick wey em no give Nacho play na em make am bad.

I think the coach should resolve that and make it clear who takes freekick in certain positions.
