Let's burst your DELUSIONAL bubble, if he is so good why is he the lowest paid player in his Segundo division team Huesca ❓

I will not ask why he has stayed in mediocrity for five years from one lower league to another even descending to youth football in Porto B and still struggling.

Is it only the coaches in the NFF have eyes � to see ,that nobody is else in European football can see.

I know you will not answer the question but resort to gutter language and vitriolic rhetoric EVADING the question completely.

Evasion master always making noise and changing the subject because you just cannot get into a civil substantive discussion.

You have asked this question like 100 times in the last one week, when does the amount a player is paid become a measure of quality?( I'm sure Kepa will be earning almost double Mendy's wages at Chelsea )
Is it a crime to play for Porto B at some point in a player's career?
You keep talking about his career 3, 4 seasons ago, what happened to your law of "here and now".?
By the way... Who do you suggest should replace him? Chuks Aneke? or Fred onyedinma? abi sheyi ojo? and this other one Tega Onomah?
Make rest

So a Muslim is the chairman of Obas in Yorubaland.
I see Yoruba culture fading away in the Future


Oduduwa right now be like

The Olubadan is actually a Baale, traditionally he is not a "king" it is civilization that is making people refer to him as king. So there's not so much tradition attached to the stool, he can be buried anyhow the family wishes.

When the real kings die: Ooni, Alaafin, Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Awujale of Ijebu, Alake of Egbaland etc dies... You won't hear anything like Christian or Muslim burial

TheGoodJoe:
How did he tell the path of Rohr? This man does not even have time to coach the team. Less than two weeks for a major tournament.

He needs praise for innovation. All of us here would have gone Akpoguma, Ebuehi, Dessers etc and filled the team with our preferred choices.

We would not consider team cohesion, team spirit, leadership, team morale etc.

Eguavoen made it clear that there is no time. So he will work with the team on ground. That is the regulars. So they can focus on other teams.

So why is he getting the blame. Rohr had five years to build a team. What will Eguavoen do in few weeks?

As much as people don't like it, He made the right call.

If not propose a better option. He wants a player that plays long diagonal balls. Should he drop his philosophy?

. Classical case of emotive bias prejudice I am not sure Dessers has played in any competitive match for us against any opposition muchless African Opposition. Last time I checked, he is not as good as Awoniyi or osimhen, meaning he won't start matches, he won't even be our second choice center forward... Why do we need to invite another center forward just for the bench? Someone who has no experience in African football, it will be a waste of slot for us.
The match Akpoguma played against siera Leone in Uyo, we all cursed him after the match ( all of us who watched in the same place ) his wing was responsible for most of the goals, because uncle Rohr decided to play him at right back, when we had Aina on the bench, he had a very very poor game, the much maligned shehu Abdullahi has never had any game as poor as that for us at right back.. yet Akpoguma is easily forgiven! Why? Emotive bias!
Ebuehi's predicament is Rohr's fault, he is barely tested in GWG.
So I don't understand all the wailing from folks here

Ademola lookman scored one goal yesterday... One goal o!
Suddenly he has become Messi and Ronaldo rolled into one, his exclusion has become the reason why Buhari will remove subsidy and everyone in Nigeria will suffer
Iheanacho scored a goal and assisted two the other day... Heaven did not fall, people were still saying he should be dropped.
The level of foreign born ass licking here is something else!

forgiveness:
Ademola Lookman should replace him.

Ademola lookman will not add anything new to this super eagles team... We have Ejuke and chukwueze already, they are direct runners/dribblers.
What we need is one more CM/AM

It seems Abdullahi Shehu is injured...
Might be an opportunity to replace him with someone more productive.

Oblongata:
Please do not insult me, after all, I didn't insult anybody. The government can intercede in any predicament of it's citizen through diplomatic means.

Lol
The government should intervene to save Sunday Igboho?
The government of which country?
The government of the same country he wants to divide? Sunday Igboho is on a long thing

esere826:
It would be great and polite if they responded, but they owe you nothing unfortunately.

It's like a movie start not greeting you back after you've said hi.
You're expending 1 person effort in saying hi to them, but they'd be expending thousands of persons energy to say hi back to every one that greets them.

Maybe if the firms were more tech savvy, they be able to within 5 minutes send an email to everyone not accepted, but unfortunately with the way they currently operate, it might be some 2 hrs of their time collating and sending out such mails, so not worth their time.

See the problem?
A whole human being is not "worth their time" because he/she is nobody right?
This is the reason why a soldier will beat you up just because he feels like beating someone, because you are just a bloody civilian
A police man will extort you, because you are nobody.
The problem with us is that we do not value anything in this country not skills, not brilliance, nothing but social status.
Who do you know? Or who knows you? Lobatan

TheSuperNerd:
Wait... seriously?? I just replied you right? So what's this?

I think you have been on vacation from this thread.

What a funnily ignorant take.

C'mon now my man
You know these things
When you say one thing and mean another?
What's that word..... yea
You Gerrit?
Sometimes we say these things you know.... For sanity's sake

When CRIMINALS have nothing to argue with, they will evade discussion or Run. Aka Abba kyari. You forgot that you were the one to denigrate my name first now you wan run. Oloriburuku

Dear 12large1
I love the way you argue.... You make your point without name calling ( most of the time)
Please resist the temptation this time.
Abeg make una just rest this argument.
Gracias

TheSuperNerd:
Dude, just stay off my Mentions. Goodness me!

Osimhen scored 10 in 24 last season and you say he needed more goals while ignoring the boy's health/fitness struggles. You say he wasn't bought for all round plays or all round impacts but goals and more goals.


Now Onuachu gets the goals and you here talking overall impact?? Really guy?? because of trying to make a case for Iheanacho.

Your dick riding is very unhealthy. This is not how to support a player. This is just not it.

I mean, can you see how indisputably hypocritical and st*pid you sound??

Please. Quote me no more with any more rubbish. You are easily the biggest hypocrite on this thread now.

Congrats for taking Komekn's throne in his absence.

Dear TheSuperNerd,
I hope this meets you well
And I sincerely hope your Nairaland handle has not been hacked?
If no then the last two pages sounds like you (witty) at the same time sounds unlike you ( vulgar and unveiled insults).
I ask myself how can these things be?
Wetin happen?
I have therefore resolved to lift my lazy fingers to type these words: " kindly calm down, sigh and move on to other topics"
We have players in camp, give us updates damn it!
No be every argument person dey win, and no be everybody go see your point (I'm sure you know this already)

Thank you.

TheGoodJoe:

It is just not the style of play but you get to see a different dimension of the player. I was discussing with a sports expert on Sunday and I told him something.

If you think Harry Kane is a high quality player, expect him to become fiercer under Guardiola.

Jack Grealish has a knack for creating chances. He will create more and they will result in more goals. You will get to appreciate him more than how people think he is not worth the amount.

Same was said when we bought the likes of Cancelo and Walker. Under Guardiola, it led to people saying that the reason Guardiola succeeds because of how high the quality of the players are. Forgetting his systematic inputs improve their consistency.

Harry Kane is a quality player we know... No be say we think. No question
He is already a fierce striker, football does not need Guardiola to make him "fiercer"
Let Guardiola buy Tammy Abraham for 40m pounds, and make a "fierce" striker out of him, make him his no 9 and win the league
Then we will recognize him as a genius.
He can't keep buying players like Kane and Grealish and you come here to tell us how he is going to improve them
Abeg it won't fly

So next season
Guardiola will have de bryune, Greakish, sterling and Kane in the same attack!
And some people will want us to believe he isn't a fraud?

wayodude:
Totally disagree. When a genuinely good player joins a better team than he has been playing in, he becomes better and then everyone gives the coach the credit of improving him.

Grealish will be training everyday with world class players at man city not the likes of El ghazi and McGinn....of course he will improve!!

Louder please!
Guardiola fan boys will be hyping him as if he is some programmer who opens players' heads to insert new codes.

If he is such a genius... Why does he keep buying high quality players?
Why can't he buy Ajagun and turn him to a world class midfielder?

Lesotho vs Sierra leone it's 0-0 at halftime, if things end this way, we will qualify regardless of our result today

Icon4s:
Bros, Iheanacho's form has not been consistent and Rodgers has other options. No sane coach would drop a player who consistently gives in "A" Performances.

Like Vardy has been giving A performances in the last 14 games ba?

If it was Iheanacho with 14 games and no goal... By now Rodgers would have relegated him to the U23s

Subzero047:
Simy - 7
Osimhen - 2
Iheanacho - 1

It is very clear that numbers is not the reason he is kept out of the team, I don't care about perceived quality I care about NUMBERS

If the only thing that matters are the NUMBERS we can conclude that at the end of this season Onuachu should be in the running for world best!
And Tammy Abraham is better than Harry kane
Baba try another logic abeg

I think Onyekuru got an assist today?
Someone should please post the highlights of Monaco vs nantes

TheGoodJoe:
Are you guys seeing Leipzig. Attacking the bigger club. Not sitting back with fear. Imagine why i was sad seeing Rohr sit back against South Africa.

Well, better sit back in fear keep it tight and give yourself the chance of snatching a 1-0 victory than stupidly attack a better team and get knocked out of 3-0
So much for attacking the bigger club!
Dem don chop 3 sero now their eye don clear.

TheGoodJoe:
You think there was no agenda when they banned City from the champions league? It is beyond coincidence. It happens every year now. Did you not see Llorente last season? You think it is a coincidence that back to back we are going out with clear bias from var.

Then get rid of Guardiola
Maybe city is reaping what Guardiola sow when he was winning the champions league unfairly year after year at Barca.
Ghost Penalties, and Ghost red cards helped Guardiola win every champions league trophy he won at Barca... None was won fairly.
Those days I remember Barca was called UEFALONA, the annoying thing about Pep back then was when he wins with an unfair penalty, or by getting an opposition player sent off for no reason, instead of staying humble, he'll go to press conference scratching his bald head forming Albert Einstein of football.

Guardiola and his fan boys should suck it up and move on, what you sow you shall reap!

Make una know as e dey pain people at the receiving end of those unfair calls in favor of Barca and Guardiola back then.

TheGoodJoe:
How did Pep get outsmarted? Are you saying he did not expect Arteta to sit deep and wow, Arteta shocked Pep by sitting deep? How did he outsmart him?

Almost every team sits deep, very deep against us. The reason why we have lost loads this season is due to this. Nothing out of the extraordinary. We just work extra hard to break the dead lock early to ease space. When we don't or conceed early, we suffer.

Nothing like outsmarting here. Or are you saying Simeone outsmarted Klopp by sitting very deep in both games?

Teams sit deep against city because city's game is possession, that's what they learn day and night everyday of the week, it is madness trying to beat city at possession football. If you want to fight a monkey, you don't do hand to hand combat with a monkey on the trees, bring it to a level ground and give it the beating of it's life.

Long story short, teams sitting deep and City isn't an admittance of superiority but an enactment of the analogy above.

It is Guardiola's duty to find a plan B, when his plan A doesn't work like last night.

TheGoodJoe:
I am not critiquing Arteta. I have even congratulated him. He did what he had to do to win and props to him. I was correcting some that tried to make it look like he weaved some tactical magic and outclassed Guardiola. He did not he sat deep and worked with a strategy to win a difficult game.

Thank you.

We can drag this for as long as you want,
Oga Guardiola's strategy for winning games is to put his centre backs in midfield and bore opponents with passes until they loose their shape and concentration and get ripped apart.
Arteta's strategy yesterday was to sit deep, block the passing channels, and launch quick precise attacks through city's weakest links (the flanks)

You see, strategy is strategy whether it is all out attack madness or sitting deep and soaking pressure.

Arteta pulled a tactical MASTERCLASS that Pep had no answer to, Pep got outsmarted and beaten 2 nil.
There's no where it is written that the only way of playing football is the Pep way.
Last night Arteta was the better tactian, deal with that fact and let's move on.

TheGoodJoe:
How did he outclass Pep?

Look at the stats below. Arteta was totally outplayed. It was just a case of park bus and win. Even Southampton gave us a far better game. Bournemouth played far better than this. The changes did nothing to Arteta's strategy. While Rodri brought the ability to hold the ball high up the pitch. Foden brought penetration in tight areas.

The way you exhalt this Pep tactics sometimes ehn... Na wa
I watched the game yesterday, what I saw was a tactical masterclass.
Pep was outfoxed simple and straight.
Arsenal wasn't just hoofing the ball in hope.
In the first half arsenal could have been 3goals up if they were more clinical.

And from your posts since last night, I bet you don't know what parking the bus means: watch Chelsea vs Barcelona at camp nou 2012, thank me later

For crying out loud, Arsenal's first goal was preceded by 18 uninterrupted passes!
Fucking 18 passes which started with about 12 or 13 passes inside their own 18yard box!
Beginning with the goal keeper!!!
They beat the City press severally with quick neat passes out from the back, Martines that you claimed was poor even completed one dribble.
The better team won yesterday Oga.

jihday:
omo, the hate this guy have for Nacho is at an all time high. Nacho will not displace Obafemi, Long and Evans

Lol that short Obafemi wey be like bag of beans abi there's another one?
People should just stop arguing with the komekn bot abeg

Subzero047:
Where is Sincere Seth?

You will see him the super Eagles if NFF appoint siasia as coach.
Sincere Seth is the captain of Siasia boys association, Segun Oduduwa is vice captain[center][/center]

Is saudiq Umar injured?
He hasn't been in FK Partizan's match day squad for the last two games.

jihday:
I think the goal in Kano was scored via GK blunder by Enyeama. Okocha was a major culprit, hardly showed up for away games

NFF also contributed their quota by fixing the match for 3pm in the hot kano sun, the weather that day was in favor of the Angolans

andrewbaba44:
Gabriel jesus benching aguero? you dey watch ball so ?

So because pep decide to give jesus minutes most times e don mean say e dey bench aguero? have you fotgotten that aguero do struggle with fitness issues most times ?

Even with lesser games in the epl ageuro has more minutes than jesus, that one go tell you say baba get small injury nah , haba

Jesus is not benching aguero biko

I no dey watch ball... Na badminton I dey watch.

Edopesin:
Aguero is an experienced world class striker, which coach wouldn't prefer him to jesus? Mind you he has more minutes played than jesus and has also started more matches than him

Jesus is a proper striker, no sane coach will start firmino ahead of him

Jesus is the Guardiola kind of striker, not necessarily a proper striker, Guardiola likes small, skillful stikers that can also defend from the front.
Jesus can not survive in a mourinho or Alex Ferguson team.
When you want to mention "proper strikers"
You mention people like Harry Kane, Lewandowski, Diego Costa, Higuain ,Lukaku....
No be smallies like Jesus.

Edopesin:
Gabriel Jesus unlike firminho scores goals and also assists and he's also productive from the wings he will definitely bench firmino if he makes the mistake of signing with Man City

of course Jesus will bench firmino at city, but it'll not be for footballing reasons.
Gabriel Jesus dey bench Aguero na.
So forget the talk, nobody can bench Guardiola's favorite son goals or no goals he'll play.

chidi1:
Although I generally tend not to involve myself with these arguments, based on my observation of Safari girl's concerning pattern, I would agree with Komekn. Arguments are supposed to be fact based, devoid of sentiments and personal attacks. You would think that this should have been inherently drummed into a LAWYER during training. I appreciate that this is a medium to air ones OPINIONS, and this should be respected. However, personal attacks, especially when the person has no clue or concerete support on the subject matter, other than sentiments, smirks of a conceited and an immature mind.

On behalf of the Ghosts on this thread Chidi1 I'll like to point out that your moniker is kind of new here, even we the Ghosts don't know you.

That said, I'll advice you to pitch your tents carefully on this thread.
You apparently do not know that man komekn, you don't know him!!!
I personally think Komekn is a spam bot.
So please don't queue behind him just because you read a few days worth of his comments.
Calm down, relax, and observe then you'll know better.
Shallom.

Govr Makinde has gone through it so he is the best expert to know about covid19 recovery protocol.
Dey there dey fear fear instead of learnin what to drimk or eat to survive covid19.Hannibal indeed!

Since you know who Hannibal was, I assume you will know that although he was the best war tactician to ever come out of Africa, he knew when to fight and when to retreat, he didn't fight stupidly or put his men in stupidly unnecessary risks the way Makinde is currently doing with Ibadan.
I think the UK needs his "expertise" right now though
