Which new song?

Did I not clamor for Iwobi?

The difference is I don't go after every d!ck and Harry player because he was born in Europe. I only clamor for those that can add value.

I have recognized a lack of depth in our attack and so we are in a dire need of quality strikers. If Ihenacho and Ighalo were leaving up to expectations wetin for concern me with Tammy?

If they tell you Kelechi Iheanacho will score more goals than Kane, do you think it is dilution grandeur?

If they tell you Tammy Abraham will score more goals than Onyekuru is it illusion?


Are you wishing Sadiq bad luck because you prefer another player?

he has not even scored a single goal and quite frankly if I see Sadiq in that world cup list I will totally lose my shiit, literally.
How can he score when he's not playing? And how can he play when he is up against the most wanted striker in the world called Belotti?


My point is, if he plays and scores more goals than Onyekuru, Kelechi, Tammy, Kayode and Osimhen then he deserves to be called into the SE before the world cup.

So, you people should stop bringing down players for your own preferred players.

Emmm High Chief, we are not begging, we are only wooing.

Several countries have done same in the past. Leonel Messi for eg would have been playing for Spain today if Argentina had not made that move.

Mind you, we only go for players that will add value in departments that we need fortification and not every di-ck and Harry. We recently acquired Ola Aina and we will attempt at Tammy Abraham. If we don't get him we move on. But let it be known that we made the attempts so future generations will not place curses on the NFF for missing out on him in case he turns out like another Dele Alli.

I don't go for every foreign born, only those that we need. We need Abraham for Russia.
Praise... Praise... Praise da Lord! Ha... Ha..hallelujah!

For he has turned born again overnight and is now singing a new sange. grin

Hope the status quo remains the same in future dealings. grin

ENGLAND: Championship - Round 12

Leeds 0-1 Reading
Ex- Portuguese junior international, Tiago Ilori seems to have finally won the confidence of Reading coach Jaap Stam as the 24 year old center back clocked 90 minutes in Reading's win on the road. However, the England-born center-back did not come tops in any of Whoscored's performance categories.
+Stats: 6.99 Rating
Teammate and out-of-favor Super Eagles forward, Sone Aluko, also got Stam's nod to start. Aluko lasted 72 minutes as one of the forwards in a 4-4-2 formation, and was statistically the best player on the pitch in terms of pass success rate ( 85% ).
+Stats: 6.81 Rating

Sunderland 1-1 QPR
Sunderland fail again to win, after 10 matches. QPR also extend their winless poor run to 6.
While Super Eagles wannabe, Nedum Onuora still remained sidelined by injury, QPR's new Nigerian sensation, Bright Osayi-Samuel featured once again in the Hoops draw at Sunderland. The 19 year old midfielder was a 76th minute sub-in. He was one of three subs-in to achieve a 100% pass success rate for the relatively short duration they spent on the pitch.
+Stats: 6.10 Rating.

Brentford 1-0 Millwall
Millwall lose for the second championship game in a row with Fred Onyedinma putting in a partial shift for the Lions.
+Stats: 6.0 Rating.


Bolton 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday
Bolton turn things around after losing 8 consecutive games.
Sammy Ameobi opened his goal account for the season when he put Bolton ahead as early as the 10th minute -- playing as RM/RW in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Ameobi's performance earned him a MOTM by virtue of whoscored. He tied 4 other players for the top spot in Total Shots (3). He was the best Bolton player, and joint best in pass success rate (92).
+Stats: 8.56 Rating. (In running to make Whoscored Best XI of the week)
Teammate Derek Osede is still out due to injury.
+Stats: N/A

Norwich 1-1 Hull
Norwich rally late to ensure they stay undefeated for the 7th consecutive round
Super Eagles Wing-Back Ola Aina clocked 90 minutes for Hull in their away draw to Norwich. He was one of the top tacklers of the match with 4 successful attempts. He went on to earn Whoscored's MOTM statistical performance.
+Stats: 7.70 Rating. (In running to make Whoscored Best XI of the week)
Fikayo Tomori came in on the 85th minute as Leonid Slutsky made his third tactical change after playing a man down for about half an hour.
+Stats: 5.92 Rating

Fulham 2-2 Preston
Fulham's Seyi Ojo is out due to shoulder injury
+Stats: N/A

Sheffield Utd 1-0 Ipswich
Dominic Iorfa put up a sterling performance for Ipswich despite falling away with his team. Playing as a Right Wing Back in Ipswich's 3-5-2 formation, the Super Eagles hopeful started and completed the encounter as the third highest rated player on the pitch according to whoscored.
Iorfa Jnr stood out as the best performer with a total of 12 in Aerial Duels won. He made 3 interceptions for the team.
+Stats: 7.90 (Likely to beat Aina in RB for Best XI of the week)
Iorfa's teammate, Tom Adeyemi was unlisted for the encounter

Aston Villa 2-0 Wolves
Villa go undefeated 9 games in a row
Bright Enobakhare remained in Villa's dugout for the entire duration.
+Stats: N/A
However, England U21 international, Josh Onomah tasted action after he was introduced by the visitors in the 73rd minute.
He managed to fire 1 shot and make 1 dribble for the considerable short time he spent on the pitch.
+Stats: 6.14

Bristol 0-0 Burton
Hope Akpan started but spent 68 minutes on the pitch as he helped Burton secure a draw away to Bristol City
+Stats: 6.35 Rating

[quote author=Joebie post=61431164[b]]which friendlies did Conte play[/b]?.. Training is where coaches notice the qualities of players and decide to try out different things. That's what i'v maintained.
My point has always been Conte saw Moses' qualities and opted to play him there. .Even Moses said he had to go back and watch his debut as Wing BAck against Hull, in other to work on it further.

Or have you been watching Joel Obi's training over the years to say he CAN'T play as AM? hahaha

covering up your baseless arguments with that smiley all the time don't still make it look logical.

As they say "you can put a lipstick on a pig...[/quote]How many coach has Joel Obi worked with in taining? Why none of them played him in the AMF for the past 15 years? shocked grin

Are you beter than all those coaches? grin


Now, let me answer the @bolded grin




Antonio Conte admits 3-4-3 wasn't his first choice formation




Published 11 months ago Add your comment




Football News

24/7


It is no secret that Chelsea's imperious form since losing 3-0 to Arsenal towards the end of September has coincided with manager Antonio Conte's big tactical shake-up.

A switch to three at the back, with N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic shielding in front, has given the Blues a solid defensive setup after appearing worryingly vulnerable at the start of the season.

It has also had a dramatic effect on the team's fortunes at the other end of the pitch.



Eden Hazard and Pedro have both thrived in less restrictive roles behind Diego Costa, who has also hit a hot streak of form, in a Chelsea side that have scored 16 times in their last five Premier League matches.

Conte has deservedly received plenty of plaudits for ensuring such a successful transition to a slightly unique formation but the Italian has revealed that the current 3-4-3 setup wasn't initially his preferred choice.



When asked why he didn't turn to the winning formula sooner, Conte said: "It was because in my mind I wanted to play with 4-2-4," as per ESPN.

"I wanted to start the season with this because you have wingers who are strong one vs. one and I like to play with two strikers very close together. But I changed it

"I must be honest, during the preseason when we started to prepare, there was 4-2-4 but also 3-4-3 because this squad could play both systems. I changed it because it gave us more balance defensively and offensively."

FBL-ENG-PR-CHELSEA-EVERTON

The hurtful loss at the Emirates was the final nail in the coffin for Conte's persistence with a back four and he explained the difference his tried and tested defence of three has made.

"I was worried [after the Arsenal loss] because we were conceding a lot of goals in every game and were also letting teams have a lot of chances to score," Conte added.

"For this reason, we changed. Normally when you lose, it's important to have good thoughts, to change to improve and to explain why you made this step.

"I think together with the players we are working very hard and we are finding a new way to change the situation."

FBL-ENG-PR-SOUTHAMPTON-CHELSEA

The 3-4-3 formation was considered somewhat unfashionable in the modern era not too long ago but Conte, first with Juventus, a bit with Italy and now with Chelsea, is showing the value of setting up a team to maximise the strengths of key individuals.

He has stumbled upon the dream combination of getting his side looking like they can score with every attack and almost impossible to break down at the other end.

Chelsea have become the team no one wants to face right now.

Why Liverpool must ignore Sunderland’s interest in young centre-back Tiago Ilori


NEWSSPORT Why Liverpool must ignore Sunderland’s interest in young centre-back Tiago Ilori CLUB METRO OPINION This Is Anfield for Metro.co.uk Tuesday 31 Mar 2015 6:15 am Share Share Share Share SMS 27 Tiago Ilori has been linked with a move away from Liverpool (Picture: Getty Images) With young Liverpool centre-back Tiago Ilori linked with a summer move to Premier League strugglers Sunderland this week, manager Brendan Rodgers must ignore any advances and instead build around the 22-year-old. Word from north east publication the Shields Gazette suggests that Sunderland have been scouting Ilori while on loan with Ligue 1 side Bordeaux this season. ‘The Black Cats are already preparing for next season, and have earmarked 22-year-old Ilori as a potential summer signing. ‘Sunderland will continue to track the centre-half, with their defence in desperate need of strengthening in the close season. ‘However, Sunderland could face stiff competition for Ilori’s signature, with Everton and Celtic also represented at the game.’ The athletic defender joined Liverpool at the same time as first-team fixture Mamadou Sakho, in a £7 million deal in 2013, but is yet to make an appearance for the Reds. However, in two seasons on loan at La Liga outfit Granada and Bordeaux respectively, Ilori has continued to impress, in what should be enough of a progressive run of form to convince Rodgers that he has a role in his side in the future. Liverpool’s manager Brendan Rodgers must not be temped to sell Ilori (Picture: AP Photo) Last term, Ilori made nine appearances for Granada, helping the Andalusian side to a 15th-place finish and safety for another season – the centre-back’s defining moment coming with an impressive shackling of Lionel Messi in a 1-0 victory over Barcelona in April of last year. This season so far, Ilori has made 10 appearances, including a goalscoring display in September’s 1-1 draw away to Saint Etienne. Ilori stands as a supremely perceptive, pacey centre-back with an enduring composure in possession, and has the potential to develop into a top-class defender. With question marks over the long-term stability of Liverpool’s defence, with Glen Johnson set to depart this summer, Dejan Lovren so far failing to impress and Emre Can eyeing a long-term role in midfield, Ilori could have a ready-made role next season. On signing Ilori and Sakho, Rodgers proclaimed that: ‘I wanted to try to protect the present and the future of the club.’ ‘Centre-halves are so hard to find…We were fortunate in that two became available, one that we had been tracking for a year in Tiago Ilori…he is one for the future, but he can be a really big talent.’ Ilori must not become another perennially loaned, ultimately exiled young prospect, Rodgers must harness his talent, ignore the advances of Sunderland, and usher him into the Liverpool first team next season.

has Madu even made the match day squad?.. ask me again.. then I should add him to the list.. Ask me to review my list at the end of the season.
I'm speaking for the moment. And all the players in my list are getting game time.

Thiago will not make my CB list, just so you know in advance. My major reason is.. he has TWO options, that's if he would even consider Nigeria as his third. haha.. very special case..
Then wait till January because that's when things becomes crystal clear. For now enjoy your list.

So, if you knew Mbappe was eligible to play for Nigeria, you will not add him to your list because he has 3 - 4 options, ba? shocked

If Tiago Ilori doesn't make your list based on your obvious reasons, it doesn't stop Tiago Ilori from reaching greater height. grin

Keep encouraging mediocre.

For your information, Tiago Ilori is still official eligible to play for Nigeria. grin

If he was that good WHY were all the teams in French League 1 not in a desperate que to buy himhuh

He was so good he never played one game in the premiership for Liverpool, explainhuh

Gomez at 18 left league 1 and Charlton Athletic and straight into Liverpool first team. Leaving Ilori to watch with Envy, Whyhuh

Not one premiership team registered interest in Ilori why because he was so goodhuh

So it's all newspaper talk with no substance.
If Lukaku, Salah, Bryan etc were good enough, why did Chelsea sell them go? grin

Who told ligue 1 team was not desperate to sign him? grin

Whether Gomez entered or not, answer my first question. grin

Who told you no team in the Premier League registered interest in Ilori? grin

As soon as he went to Reading on the 9th of January this year, he played on 21st and 24th of the same month before he went out due to injury for two months.

As soon as he came out of injury in April, he was thrown into the mix. I think that explains why he had 8 matches before the playoffs. grin

If we have to count the one he played for 90 minutes today, he has played 6 matches out of 11.
