lol ignorance at its peak.where in that post indicate that his parent were nigeria a. the only thing i can read out clearly is marculay father is the founder and principal of cms and father to herbelt marculay. This is nairobi walker name you an adult dullard.

Hahahahahah! Dis small boy is abusing his elder and he called himself a Nigerian, a Yoruba for that matter.

Who are you deceiving?


Since, you have acknowledged Herbert Macaulay's father was born to a Nigerian parents in Sierra Leone and he accepted to be called a Sierra leonian according to Ghanaian school of thought, the same way Herbert Macaulay accepted to be identified as a Nigerian. Full stop.

Don't be dull to read that too since you pretended not to see the open bracket that was written Nigeria beside the name of his father.

vaxx:
no. the parent already claim saro nationality. Unless you can point to me where the parent are known as nigeria.

Your logic has been defeated.

Even wiki acknowledged his father is a Nigerian and Herbert Macaulay claimed Nigeria.

Better replacement for each position?

As if you replace players as easily as you replace bed sheets on your bed.

You think if we have players better than Iheanacho, Moses, Iwobi, Ndidi, Mikel, Echiejile, Etebo, Balogun, Omeruo, Ekong any where in the world we will not field them?

You think the coaching crew are not interested in improving the standards of the team?

What do you think team building is all about?
You wake up and overhaul a whole team when you have crucial matches all because you are searching for better players?

As far as I am concerned I will give this current coaching crew Excellent in terms of scouting for players for the national team. We had crucial games against Zambia and Algeria that could not be toiled with. With the little time he had after his appointment he maximised the established potentials in the team and came out tops.

We organized a friendly against Senegal of which a couple of players had their debutes.

We organized a France camp and so many untested players were featured in the two friendlies.
I am sure from the 3 games we have played this year the coaching crew has assessed a lot of these players and know which ones are ready for the Super Eagles.

Forgiveness I dare you to mention any player or players playing in any league(s) in this Universe that are better than the ones Rohr is likely to start against South Africa.

From you post, you still focused on the first eleven but I am basically interested in who replaces dem 'should incase'.


Of course, we have witnessed many cases a Barcelona, a champions League starter and goal poachers were denied the opportunity to play for their father's land.

That one no be new thing. And I am beginning to suspect and question the rational behind the selection of some players nowadays based on Osimhen, Shehu Abdullahi.

Remove Omeruo from that list, he has past it for.

Like I said, who to replace them and not who better. Comprehend the thing, abeg.

I will like to have a Ball Playing Defender in the mix especially if my opponent is not very potent in attack.

MODIFIED.

Mikel Agu will do very well as a Ball Playing Defender if he is molded to a CB. Just me thinking.

Mikel Agu should be left alone in his preferred role.

AIG07:
can I help him Sir?

Abduljelil Ajagun,
Mickael Olaitan,
Babatunde Michael,
Rahmon Azeez,
Sammy Ameobi,
Dominic Solanke(if not for the ongoing u-20WC). Make I stop here... He'll come to point out the rest.

Are you being mischievous or what?

Where on this thread did I clamour for Ramon Azeez, Babatunde Michael, Sammy Ameobi and Michael Olaitan?

Maybe when Ramon Azeez was still in the La Liga and Olaitan playing for Olympicus in the Champions League which was reasonable as at then.

I remembered I clamored for them in the Olympic thread.

I never fancied Michael Babatunde because I knew Keshi brought him through the back door, d magogo way.

Sammy Ameobi, what? When did I clamor for this one? Maybe when he was playing with Newcastle in the Premier League.

Yes! Ajagun Abdul, Raheem Lawal and Solanke were/are regularly mentioned by me here. Why? Because I believe they deserve to be called.

I am not even done with the role call, they are many, based on their current form.

I know where you are going but... Make I no talk.

Joebie:
Introduction

This guide is going to look in your central defensive set-ups, and how to achieve a cohesive backline. I will discuss your common central defensive pairing.

Central Pair

You have 3 central defensive roles and 3 central defensive duties to choose from. The roles are as follows:

1. Central Defender
2. Limited Defender
3. Ball Playing Defender

and the duties are as follows:

1. Defend
2. Stopper
3. Cover

The roles are fairly similar in most respects, and defensive distribution is the most significant difference in the roles.

The Limited Defender tends to simply clear the ball as far away from goal as he can - ensures you do not get caught in possession at the back, but it does turn over possession to your opponents quicker and can leave you under sustained pressure. A good idea if your team does not possess the skill to keep hold of the ball in the backline.

The Central Defender will distribute the ball to nearby teammates, helping you keep possession in the backline, and to calmly distribute the ball to the midfield. There is the risk of getting caught in possession at the backline, however it can alleviate pressure on your backline by keeping the ball, and building attacks and distributing the ball to players in the midfield capable of influencing the game in the middle and final thirds.

The Ball Playing Defender will look to influence counter-attacking opportunities by playing through-balls in to players wide of, or in front of himself. He can also help the team maintain possession with his superior passing skills and licence, although he must me fairly creative and a good passer, otherwise you can turn over possession if your player tries overly ambitious passes he is not capable of.

PAIR COMBINATIONS:
1. Central Defender & Central Defender
2. Central Defender & Limited Defender
3. Limited Defender & Limited Defender
4. Ball Playing Defender & Central Defender

You can pair Limited Defenders as they do not affect the balance or overall passing structure as they simply play direct, same with a pair of Central Defenders who simply play a short passing game. The Ball Playing Defender however plays through balls, and due to the increased creativity should generally only be paired with just a simple Central Defender - this is because the Central Defender can help maintain possession at the back, passing to his more creative partner instead of hoofing the ball clear like a Limited Defender and his "safety-first" approach. Having 2 Ball Playing Defenders can see your defenders playing with too much creativity, and attempting too many risky passes.

The duties provide the variation in defensive approach, and these can significantly change the way your defence balances.

The Defend duty is the standard approach, aiming to defend merely as guided by team instructions on marking and pressing, holding the defensive line and winning the ball when appropriate. It is a balance of the 2 "extremes" offered by the Stopper and Cover duties.

The Stopper duty aims to step up early to engage the opposition and quickly win the ball back. This can expose your team and open up space for your opposition, stepping ahead of your defensive line.

The Cover duty will drop off to try and catch any players breaching the defensive line. This can leave your opponents more time and space just in front of your defence unopposed, but it can also prevent your opponents from breaking through without a player to cover and track their runs, reducing their chances of getting a clean shot away in behind.

DUTIES COMBINATIONS:
1. Defend & Defend
2. Stopper & Cover
3. Stopper & Defend
4. Defend & Cover

You can play most combinations of duties in the backline, however most importantly you CANNOT play a pair of Stoppers or a pair of Covering Defenders. The Stoppers will expose too much space in behind, and the Covers will gift too much room in front of the defence, and fail to challenge for the ball often enough. Both pairings can badly expose your Offside Trap too, by either allowing room behind the full back's or behind the centre backs, played onside by the full backs. The Defend-Defend pairing tend to stay in line better and are significantly better for shape retention, and playing an Offside Trap. The Stopper-Cover pairing tends to exaggerate the best qualities of each individual, with an aggressive defender to attack the ball early, reducing room for the opposition forwards, and the covering defender can make up for the aggressiveness of the Stopper with his excellent positioning and pace. The Stopper can make up for the Covering Defender's deeper positioning and sometimes lack of aggression by closing down the space in front of the defence. This pairing can cause problems maintaining the Offside Trap with the Defenders in line, allowing gaps for your opponents to exploit.

I will choose 4-4.

i have made my point clear. Herbelt parent are not nigeria fakati. Or you want him to adopt his grandparent nationality

Answer this question and stop...

If Herbert owns the biological right to his parent nationality, is it not right to agree that Herbert's father also owns the biological right to his parent nationality which is Nigeria?

fanficgirl:
I highly doubt that. Ashantis fought the British for the longest

Perhaps.

vaxx:
you cant even reason well mr adult.

herbelt marculay grand parent were capture slaves . they were resettle in Sierra Leone . they gave birth to herbalt direct parent. who too sierrea leone as a nationality. this people came to nigeria as a worker and gave birth to herbalt.

point one hearbelt parent are known as a citizens of saro.

the grand parent has adopted saro as their country.

lastly herbelt marculay owns the biological right to his parent nationality not his grand dad. fakati

If Herbert owns the biological right to his parent nationality, is it not right to agree that Herbert's father also owns the biological right to his parent nationality which is Nigeria?

it does not matter who move the motion first. i may have an idea but if the idea is not implemented.it is useless. so kudos should be given to who take the courage to achieve it first. Challenge me with logical explanation not weak argument. Ghana independence was,fought not plead. There is diffrence.

Now that you have learnt that Ghana never influenced our independent, rather Nigeria influenced Ghana, I am satisfied.

If you want to how we shed bloods during the course of our figh for independent then Google is ya friend, than rather come here to mock the victims of our liberation.

obaaderemi:
Forgiveness, abi o de gbami ni ke?Hah!the way that guy stands fact on its head is frightening.He will tell lies and continue to respond even when it is clear he is lying.Even the kenyans are now having a taste of his blind illogicality.And to think I believed he had been cured of this malady.

He lies with a straight face but I think he is very ignorant and doesn't want to learn.

vaxx:
am waitng for these anyway. Your strongest argument. But this is the finish line. Which nationality those herbelt maculay parent hold？


i got it now. you can only learn by insult. You dont argue with fact you see and copy without using your logic or should i say your logic is faulty. Supposing i own an american citizenship but my parent are originally from somalia Will it be possible to transfer the origin of my parent origin somalia to their paterner grandchildren？

Chai! Dis guy dey disgrace naija with em small pikin sense.

Now, let us analyze your analogy.

The father of Herbert is a Saro because he was born in Seria Leon, ba? That is the reason he is no longer Nigerian.

Now, the same father came down to Nigeria and gave birth to Herbert Macaulay.

According to your analogy, is Herbert Macaulay still a Saro or a Nigerian?

Icon4s:
All well and good if Rohr feels Awaziem deserves to start ahead of Omeruo.

But my argument spans from the saying that bc Ekong and Awaziem played CB against Corsica and Togo they have now built a Chemistry so they must start against SA. That is a total fallacy.

And let me chip in that performance in training is not the only criterion for match day selection. I thought we would have learned that by now.


Take it or leave it Kenneth Omeruo is favorite to start against SA.

This is one of the reasons I always cry out for better replacement for each position but many are satisfied with the first eleven.

By now, Rohr ought to have know who should replace who. Abi we never learn reach from 1994 world cup to 2014 world cup. Commot one player and the team go fall yakata.

Now, back to the discussion. Why then did you mentioned 2013/2014 AFCON and wc if you point is the second paragraph?

Performance in training is very important though other factors may be considered.

How many times has Omeruo partnered Ekong?

This is Super Eagles, the players currently inform should be considered ahead of any expired legs.

You fake fact. Bring it here with confirmed source and not the usual hen and bull story.

As it is, the Grandparents of Herbert Macaulay are from the former Oyo province and not your fake story of Saro blah blah. Sorry.

vaxx:
the fact has been establish. what do you want to hear again.his parent are not biologically nigerian. his mother father is related to bishob ajayi crowther . but is it logically ok to call herbelt a nigeria becuse of his mother father relatiomship. Ask yourself.

Which fact?


The one from your Ghanaian history?

See the one wey be confirmed one.

There is a museum at Calabar where I saw the culture of Efiks. The marriage part caught my eyes.

It is mandatory you teach the bride all the ingredients to... it's not what you think ooooooo but it is in their culture to satisfy a man. Mbok!


Nevertheless, wetin kwunsin us with dem matter. Maybe he was forced to marry or his lifestyle doesn’t suit his ex - wife or he was playing away and his wife caught him but instead of him to humble himself, he para, we no know. The rest his history...

As long as he finds peace of mind and he translate that on the field of play though I don't believe in divorce, it's good for him and our country. That's all.

Icon4s:
Awaziem and Ekong played CB against Corsica and Togo and that is enough to push out Omeruo who has played that position from 2013 AFCON to 2014 WC qualifeirs and series of other qualifiers.

You may give Awaziem the nod based on other factors but not based on chmemistry with the other CBs.

Played in the past na past tense. If Awaziem performance better than Omeruo during training, he deserves to play.

Dis na me first come dey block road for better players.

Later you will be the one claiming Victor Osimhen na senior player hence no need to bring Abraham to the national team as if say na em buy the jersey permanently.


No bi the same Omeruo wey Ranti give sand chop again!?

This incident is even more recent than 2013 past glory and even Omeruo was the biggest culprit against France in 2014.

I will answer when I am less busy. Your mouth needed to be shut once and for all in regards to Nigeria's matters absolutely.

i will answer question in details. Herbert Heelas Macaulay was born on 14 November 1864 in Lagos. He was the seventh child of his Sierra Leonean parents. His father, Tom Babington Macaulay, was the first principal of CMS Grammar School in Lagos. His mother’s father was Sam Ajayi Crowther.Back then, Lagos was a segregated town. Europeans stayed in the best parts of town, migrants from Brazil and Sierra Leone stayed elsewhere, natives, elsewhere

Herb attended his father’s school, CMS, then Fourah BayCollege in Freetown, Sierra Leone. He returned to Lagos in1882 and got a job in the Department of Public Works. In July 1890

he left the Lagos Colony for Plymouth in England, to study Civil Engineering under G. D. Bellamy.

. Where is Tom Bambington Macaulay's ancestral home town?

What is the name of his father?

Last bullet. We should have gotten independent as far back as 1953 or 1956 but the Northern Region frustrated the efforts by walking away and voting against it while the Ghanaian parliamentary overwhelmingly voted for independent in 1956, as agreed by the British for the parameters of getting independent as at then.

Where did Ghana set the motion or movement of independent for Nigeria?

Nkuruma wanted to become the president or Lord himself over all the black man in Africa hence the need to form organizations which he became the president of those groups.. but we saw the handwritten on the wall.

now to kwame inkrumah. there are many minds who influences him that those not mean they set the race for him. kwame inkrumah carry the spirit of the west indian born black nationalist marcus garvey. He is kwame inkrumah greatest mentor. Not influencer.

no african leader in the sub sahara region was courageous enough to seek for the independence. inkrumah champion their idea with the big 6 and they were successful..after the ball started rolling.


here the verbal word of the african leader. we are not free until the whole african is free. after ghana independence awolowo dust his pen and paper with the likes of azikwe who saw the courage in kwame and saudarna of sokoto to plead for independence.

inkrumah fought for ghana independence along the big six unlike nigeria independent that was given because of pity.


gowon ,ojukwu and mobolaji of lagos will nnot forget the importance of aburi accord that was supervised by a ghanian General jA ankrah

How do you know he is not a Nigerian?

So, what was Zik campaigning for that gingered Nkuruma to fight for independent?

You are too young doesn't mean you should do your research.

Nkuruma never championed the course for freedom in the soil of West Africa. Don't tell lies.

Harbert Marculay and some radical Nigerians seeked for independent way back 1889 before dem born Nkuruma. Stop lying.

You are too young to start telling us the history of our father's land.

It was during the course of Zik of Africa campaign at Ghana Nkuruma eyes opened and come gather liver to voice out for independent. Nkuruma acknowledged it.

It was Zik of Africa that encouraged to study abroad. Stop lying.

He was motivated and highly influenced by a Nigerian without which Ghana would have remained a colony of British for donkey years.
