Mbappe football IQ is lower than Nacho?? Ok oo.

DrKlever:
Is Gabriel Jesus the tap in merchant and Mbapp who's all pace and skill but no football IQ better than Iheancho on present form they are just fortunate to be selected to play. they ain't better than Nacho. simple!

Mickael2:
there was absolutely nothing special about what Chelsea did. At the end how many shots on target did they have? Barcelona have played like this against Athletico Madrid, Real Madrid and even Juventus, they sit back and soak the pressure and attack for 3 or 5minutes and score. I was laughing when someone said that Chelsea outplayed Barcelona, that was exactly what the coach wanted. Ok which good chance did Chelsea create? That Alonso freekick was never ever going to go in, it hit the outside of the bar. Rudiger's header came when they were already down by 3, then that Alonso chance too is the only genuine chance I can recall. Oya Barca, Suarez had a chance which he would have scored anyother day which Courtois saved, Paulinho's header was saved by Courtouis, Messi has scored 3 freekicks in 3 consecutive matches but Courtouis saved his freekick(cc Tbaba1234, it was way more than 4 shots on target so it wasn't as if there was no GK). This was easily Barcelona's game plan and it worked to perfection. Infact Suarez had two good chances, one from an Iniesta backheel and one from a mistake, both saved by the GK.


If you want to talk about the ref then do well to tell us that Giroud should have been sent off for up to three blatant elbows on opposing defenders. That was never a penalty anyday

ChrisKels:
I have a big genuine success story from an insider about some quality foreign born players making waves in Europe's top five leagues who have called in saying they are reconsidering their earlier stances of turning out for their European nations, I would have loved to share the news in details with us here but for the prying ears, let me shield my sword until it's reported by THENFF.COM. We wouldn't wanna repeat a mistake. With these developments, expect some changes and stiffer competitions in the defence, midfield through to the attack.

I fear for Omeruo, Agu, Echiejile, Nwakeme and to an extent, Ogu.

Oasis007:


Forgiveness...... are you sure you saw the same Match with the rest of us?!

lexyman:
which match you watch ?

Daejoyoung:
l agree that Messi was just the difference today and Barca didn't show that class, but l disagree on the penalty claim. Alonso went down too easily.

TheSuperNerd:
That name, that man...

Na surprise? Messi is of Krytonian and Asgardian crossbreeding... And....

Mujtahida:
What was the result? Abeg tell me

lexyman:
and what about Moses... ? the defense line of Barca , curtailed all the attackers and made them looked ordinary

Mujtahida:
Komekn how far champions league na as per physicality? Wetin Barca tell Chelsea na?

jihday:
Please most of us still remember 2013/2014 events, first Mba had club issues when two Naija clubs were dragging his ownership so much that he ended up in a French division 3 club, secondly he was crap during the confederations cup and the world cup qualifiers against Ethiopia

eterisan:
I did not bring up ndidi and rakitic talk o... Maybe asha80.... I stated it that ndidi is no better than busquets... That ndidi is excellent not world class.... Them Dr de tag me hater now...

eterisan:
Ndidi cannot play rakitic position.. He will flop big time... How una de look this Ndidi sef... This guy was a defender before o.... Blik una Dr forget.... He doesn't have d guile... How many assists, goals has he... What is his passing accuracy or success rate.... Oga forgiveness help me pull the stat na.... U sabi that thing well.... Make all this our people see.. So them go calm down for Ndidi mater

maidaboi:
how did musa scored 23 goals for SE?

MetalJigsaw:
Oga, Wether na Reuben or Robin... Both him and Agu are a pair of shitty players. Finito!

TheGoodJoe:
Ruben was not a passenger. The challenge he had was getting in tune with the game and he was not a likely replacement. Keep in mind, Azeez was the one to come in. The violent nature of the French team made that substitution unlikely. Also later in the game, Ruben improved and even made two tackles.

He was not a flashy choice and as I said, you do not know if the names you wanted would have suited the tactical plans for that game. We also lost Michael Babatunde to injury before that game. Losing Onazi and then Azeez not coming in reduced the options further.

As I said, unfair criticism.

BascoVanVeli:
This is a dead legend u are talking about. If u don't have proof of this put a sock in it.

TheGoodJoe:
Keshi was not going to play Nosa in the DM role. He played Azeez as a deep lying player.

What I am saying is Keshi had his tactical approach to games that got him results. In the confeds, we matched the World Cup Champions Spain in play. Our finishing plus their quality tilted the results in the Spanish favor.

We did not have quality players then and Keshi relied on tactical innovations to match quality teams. Same goes with our 2-2 game with Italy. The highly criticised Ameobi was the man of the match.

When Oliseh came on board, he noticed the so called criticism was unfair when he found it hard rallying quality players for the Super Eagles.

tbaba1234:
I even forgot Mba..

tbaba1234:
Look at Etebo in Las palmas, Ndidi in Leicester... Those are players clearly in great form for their teams.

Azeez had a few good games but he was anonymous several times for his team. That said, I believe, he made the WC team on merit but he should never have been a first choice sub.

Aluko and Igiebor on pure quality should have been there.

andrew444:
Bro you are right but it seems you are against kalu and onyekuru,please don't judge them just because they haven't won anything with their various club,and mind you the season Moses Simon won the league he came around January which is half season,back to onyekuru,what do you want onyekuru to win with eupen? a newly promoted team in his first season there where he scored 24 goals,you can't compare them to gent,Gent has always being a top club in Belgium,don't judge those players because they have not won trophies,what do you expect onyekuru to win for anderletch also ?and he is already injured,stop judging football like that,you sound as if you are against kalu and onyekuru....Comming from a Moses Simon fan boy

tbaba1234:
Really? He was playing but was he in form??

elyte89:
We are talking abt eagles u re mentioning club


I keep saying it... Asyde DT argies match in 2014.

99.9% MUSA performance in GWG SHIRT is an eyesore,so POOR,HE LACKS basic knowledge abt been an attacker, d guy na olodo player,I av not enjoy DT guy a BIT

tbaba1234:
It is just that Simon got into the team first. Many of these other boys are outshining him in Belgium.

elyte89:
Stop mentioning Musa...wetin d guy achieve asyde making 1st eleven under mediocre coaches....I no like DT musa guy at all,very predictable in his style,so myopic,erratic in his performance, just too poor as an attacker,his final third ball is disastrous, I support boss chriskel on dis,if I were to b d coach,he won't smell my bench, let alone of making d 23man list

Loogan:
Oga stop acting like you started watching football yesterday! Gerrad is a PL legend but he never won the EPL, buffon is arguably the greatest of all time but he never won the champions league, no matter the talent football is a team game, there's nothing like singlehandedly.
Winning a cup means that a lot of things are going right at the club including big luck.
If you have watched both Simon and kalus game ever since he joined last year January without bias, you will know kalu has been the best player between the two.
At the time they had good quality players when they won the league, good momentum and Simon an unknown quantity came and helped them to the title, ever since then what spectacular thing has he done? He has gotten found out by Belgian pro league defenders and since then no special season, I doubt he has hit double ditig goals in his career. Simon is the more experienced of the two but His progress has stagnated and until he fufill his potential I would not overlook better performances by a younger team mate just because Simon has won the Belgian league!
Onyekuru has not won any league and has only one personal achievement, but is it not the same league he tore to shreds? Simon has stalled, and right now kalu is the better player based on club performance.

Loogan:
I agree, I remember musa at our last World Cup outing, I was seriously shocked his ball control was very poor, easily gets dispossessed, he's lucky he has some goal sense(musa was once touted a better talent than mane in about 2013) but no self development.
Simon would dribble everything and then give a hopeless cross, appalling end product. musa and Simon lack the ability thier talent deserves. They are lucky they have more club and international experienced at this stage of thier careers than these out young guns, else musa would have seen the other side of gernot.
Personally I would feel better if a bonaventura or olayinka started ahead of Simon.

ChrisKels:
Before the injury, was he as good as Kalu? BTW, how many matches did he even miss because of the injury. Did u know even though Henry onyekuru has been off for much longer time than Simon was, he still has better stats than Simon. Can u beat that?

ChrisKels:
I have said this more than a million times on this thread and I reiterate, Simon and Musa ain't no cerebral wingers and won't make my team ahead of better wingers like Onyekuru and Kalu with the excuse that they have good defensive psych.

tbaba1234:
This is a bit deceptive.

Kalu has missed 6 games this season.
Moses has missed 10 games.

So the difference is only 4 games.

You have to keep going back to Simon's first season.. Agreed, he was great in his first season but he has not grown from that.
