Umar with an equaliser

Get ready to watch gangling Umar 7:45

I have a feeling that Rohr will not name anybody that has not played any match under him,competitive or friendly for the world cup.Even if the player is doing well. He seems conservative. He is likely to wait after the world cup and then call them up. He was given two more years in his new contract...lets keep our fingers and shoulders crossed

tbaba1234:
He was fairly regular for Porto from Feb- May 2016 after impressive performances in team B. I remember he was outstanding against Benfica that season.

A change of managers moved him back to team B.

You can't just say, he won't play in the premier league. I do not see why not.. There are several calamity defenders in the EPL that Awaziem can replace.

I think we under rate Awaziem in this part of the world,perhaps because of one or two matches...the guy is damn good,versatile and times his tackles. He is even good with his head. He joins the attack when a corner happens.I would like him to continue for one season under Ranieri and learn more before proceeding to a bigger league

Yobo was an attacker in a club in Portharcourt,Nigeria. It was Amodu that converted him to a right fullback,,,then he left Nigeria.....you know the rest

Samuel Kalu is good,if he were a Brazilian,he would cost not less than 30million euros...or an English player....phew...40million up....savvy?

Gong is growing.. Trencin brings out our best than that Midjyland team....checkout the players that have gone through their school.. Simon Moses, Rabiu[flop at SE],Samuel Kalu,Kingsley Madu,Ude and Aliko are first teamers,and now Gong going berserk....they have really made some money too

Yobo was an attacker in Nigeria.

Dts if we get to d knock out stage



Beside,no matter aw humble Mikel is,

He would av his own clique who support his leadership, and stripping him off d captaincy might lead to chaos in d team no matter aw "mature" rohr handles d situation. So boss,let's leave Mikel for d role

Yes Sir,Sir! i have no more submissions to make on the issue.

Savvy?

Please,before you sleep tonight, just say Psalm 23 for Chiugo of Chibking1

elyte89:
Seconded,dt gesture alone could alter d teams unity.

Perhaps,it could alter it....perhaps it could enhance it...Mikel is humble.If the team agrees...it could work...there is this feeling you have when playing and you know that your goalie is a cat. And to top it,he can stop penalty kicks....that s why i also support the inclusion of that Dele Eiyenugba...at least with two of them we are assured,after 120minutes,that one or two penalty kicks SHALL be stopped.

Ogu egbolo egbo n ato uto!

Captain s band does not give him first choice....Keshi was once captain but always on the bench,even Yobo was once a non-playing captain

elyte89:
Give who captain band....dt would b d biggest mistake in d history of Nigerian football

He feels aggrieved that he was insulted on top of death of his mother[is it father?]. This captaincy can be done after team discussion... Mikel and Onazi gives the press conference. Team decision..case closed

Balogun balling as right side of thee-man defence for Mainz against Freiburg

Enyeama s contract ends this season

He plays for Lille B team,probably third tier, he is now their first choice. He is an experienced goalkeeper.
Uzoho plays in third tier too. He is not an experienced goalkeeper

I think we can do what the French call `rapproachment` with Enyeama. We can give him the captain s band,but not the first choice goalie,let him fight with the other two goalkeepers we are taking to the world cup.

Selling money to get Money.

Yes,the first money is the product,the second money is the profit. Thats business

Ogu is good... driving those long shots..we need more of that in SE..His head...i was surprised on how he buried that goal with his head..His passes..top notch..However,he seems to be restricted at SE than at his club...So,Ogu of club is different from Ogu of national team...I also think that he is bigger that Israeli league..He is not being challenged enough there...Perhaps that s why he comes out tops in most matches there. Is he eligible for EPL counting his national team appearances.. ?




Savvy?

THE SITE IS NOT SECURE OOOOO

Please,these cooks,which school do they cook for? I want to go and see oooooo

safarigirl:
he's doing exceptionally well as a DM....we cannot be doing coulda, woulda, shoulda at this point.

Then we should be arguing that he needs to improve on passsing game if HE IS DOING EXCEPTIONALLY WELL
And worst still not scoring goals...since we know were he is coming from. These his tackling stats are a clear evidence of his talent as a backman

gamaliel9:
We need Ndidi back as central defender. I am not comfortable with the way European coaches change our players position[though not only ours ooo that Bolivian at Man U], Mourinho 'killed' Michael[Mikel] Obi,a potent attacking midfielder,Gbenga Okunowo,a solid midfielder was turned into a defender at Barcalona by Van Gaal,now,that coach at Gent has turned Ndidi into a defensive midfielder while the guy is a superb central defender

Under Siasia and Obu,as an u21,he was our best junior defender,two solid world cups. I believe that had Ndidi being allowed to blossom in his natural position,he would have shown more class that Cannavaro and Puyol by now

This is my stand and we would have two solid central defenders by now

Umar balling but losing at home

Savvy?

These are the ones i can remember,each of these are match deciders,like Payet...Did you watch anyone of them?

Watching Dymitry Payet reminds me of players that walked this planet between early 1980s and late 2000s...This age and generation is second class

Yesterday s game reminds me of Romania vs Argentina in 1994 World cup...full of speed,skill and sublime counter attacking

Ilie Dumitrescu

Dymitri.....i just finished watching the in French.

Dymitri Payet.....le velodrome a cracker hire soir!

Dymitri..i like the sound of the name....Perhaps,he has Russian roots..

Those passes were sublime.with left foot for that matter...


Quelle folie hier soir a Marseille!!!

Those young guns at Leipiz were on the moon...but the Marseillesians were over the moon...its been long i watched a match full of skill,speed,fury,guts,and fans going bunkers and the commentator screaming in French..quelle folie..quelle folie[what madness,what madness

wanaj0:
After making loss for 3 years, ABC turned profit in 2017. Did they do anything differently? Is it sustainable? People will want to understand how they turned the corner and whether this is a ONE off.

They have entered the fast lane like GUO,God is Good,etc as Sir Oracle said,i have started seeing those small buses that make faster money

Evidently,Sir Loco is an extrovert. Good solutions from Sir Oracle,Igirigi Ogu,Odogwu ito

A one...ode de de...a two..o de de de.....I know Musa will not be dropped for Russia..allow him a third world cup,thank you and goodbye FOREVER from the national team..thread on Musa closed.

tbaba1234:
Emenike is correct, that is an error.

A long cross from deep is still an assist from Musa..

Two crosses i can see...that is in eight years oooo....i am interested in his QUALITY CONTRIBUTION TO HAVE LASTED THIS LONG

The level of football is improving though i rate the players of 1990s- 2000s better that the players of this era. Check out AC Milan,Inter,Parma,Lazio[Gazza was once here],Ajax,PSV,Barcelona[at a time,Stoickov,Ronaldo,Hagi etc were in this team],Bayern,Hamburg,etc,. English teams were nowhere then except perhaps Man U[Always beaten then]

Musa has not improved,he was even better at u20 with Kayode. Now,he is no longer needed.


I am still waiting for Musa s three crosses in eight years!

We cannot take somebody to the world cup because he has been with the team for long...thats sentiments..because he has stayed long in the team..but his "experience"[if he has one] does not benefit his team. How has this supposed experience uplifted his team? When i see Musa,i feel like someone who thicks he has money in his pocket,after travelling long distance,on arrival at home,he sees that his pocket is empty...Its now i realised that he has been all puff and hufff..no stuff...perhaps we managed him because we had no quality replacements after Finidi and Tijani Babangida..but now quality is coming round the bend----Samuel Kalu, K. Onyekuru etc


Just tell me three crossess in his eight year sojourn in Eagles that were headed into a goal...
