emmachukwu99:
It happened close to my house. I witnessed it live on Saturday

was she found wit human parts? as narrated above.

Mickael2:
lemme run it down for you.


We are arguing about CFs. I told Safarigirl that a striker can have a bad game even though he scored in that game and tbaba1234 said once a striker scores it automatically turns to a good game therein Goldfish80 pointed out Okpotu's performance yesterday. So the bottomline is that I was using Iheanacho generally as an example, please and please I never compared his match against Peterborough with Okpotu's match against Angola, I mean come on, one scored two good goals and could have a hattrick but one barely scrambled the ball in. However if you want me to bring up a game in which Iheanacho scored but still wasn't brilliant then I will but I wasn't talking about Peterborough, thank you very much.

your argument is still not spot on...
a striker can have a bad game when he fails to convert lot of his goal scoring chances...not really because he never registered his presence on the field of play....

take a look at okputu yesterday...he could only utilize one out of about 6 goal scoring opportunities he had...

that is in the negative....
regarding benzema in Madrid...should you understand why Madrid never signed saurez,abumenyang then you will get the reason why benzema still plays....

C. Ronaldo and the board are very comfortable over that...provided they have a player in the ranks who could comfortably challenge a Barcelona player for the ballon d'or and highest goal scorer award and benzema seems to be privy to that quest...being that he play to Ronaldo strength and abilities...

Mickael2:
it is actually funny because I know humility was bashing the team and Okpotu even though he scored but now I said Iheanacho has scored in the CF role without really performing and the narrative has changed to 'any striker that scores played well'. I don't exactly have time for such arguments sha, it's quite clear

how many goal scoring opportunities...did Nigeria Benzema (okputu) misplaced yesterday? compare it wit nancho fumbling against Peterborough...and tell me if they're both on the same scale....

destinyy23:

thanks

kingphilip:
that was in July 2017 sha

I mean the comment he screenshotef

and what was his aim of trying to dig up screenshots of my previous comments...

after all I never denied I criticized yusuf...
and i still for failure to learn from his team major weakness in the last WAFU cup tourney...which has always being their inability to score goals....

so why the fuss....?
rohr learnt from the south Africa mistake and has since make up for it...

Icon4s:
Eh but sebi they say he is 23.

If players like Iheanacho, Iwobi, Ndidi, Awaziem, Ebuehi, Aina are still work in progress. They and Okpotu are in there early 20s na. Then there is hope for Okpotu for 2022 WC.

I told someone I was watching the match wit...that okputu is just 23 years old...

he shouted immediately...
*those npfl players and their age sha...I get no trust for them.....

anyway I pray he gets a good deal abroad...his next coach may likely deploy him as a winger....or even SS...

all he need do is try put his shot on the ground and not on the air....
thereafter he works on his ball positioning...

Icon4s:
But you know we have to reward their hardwork naaa. Hahaha

it boils down to the tactical nature of our clubs in the npfl....
okputu with so physical prowess...by now should have been worked upon and developed had it been he was privilege to be born abroad....

so unfortunate such a huge talent cannot really be harnessed....and now some want rohr to start doing what his club coaches and teams he ever played for...fail to do all this while....

it is grossly impossible...

goldfish80:
Ok, no problem.

good you're try to unveil some of my earlier comments....
it is a good thinh you know...
but that does not change the fact...that this team finishing ability is questionable and yusuf failure to address this rightfrom the WAFU tourney doesn't look professional...


you want me commend a team so wasteful in front of goal...but you withheld yours from a young lad....trying to prove himself in England....
I doubt if any of your favorite in this team will make Peterborough reserve team

please you can give yours to the CHAN team and let me give mine to nancho....
after all it is my choice...

EniHolar:
Yea... I love football, but I'm not supporting any European club.

I watch only Nigeria matches.

bro....that's nice. please find your way to the sport thread>super eagles thread
we need you there.

TheSuperNerd:
Loooollll... na just for check ups naa.... I no even talk world cup... that is totally ruled out. Hahahahahahahahaha... Sir Royalty dey fear...

I really expect much from them...prior now....
but not in anyway impressed thus far...
I still supports them though hope they only get better

goldfish80:
Any team that equalized a game with about 1 minute to the end of 90 and eventually won in extra time deserves commendation.
I find it funny you are making this statement knowing fully well that you went out of your way to defend the main team and Rohr when they lost to South Africa. You even went ahead to blame Salisu instead of the man in charge. I recall this very well because I was the one who mentioned you to stop.

and what makes them ply that route If not for their wastefulness in front of goal...had we convert out chances....we won't have gone through that suffering....

they missed clear goal scoring chances...and you want me commend them...for that...

is it not clear that yusuf lack tactical input in his coaching prowess....?
you as an individual opportuned to coach this team...will you keep playing okputu as CF?
what advise does he have to offer rohr....?

if him and agu were that competent don't think the German will have need for so many foreigners working wit him.

goldfish80:
So nobody commended the efforts of these Chan eagles haven come from behind to snatch victory in the jaws of defeat. But some people were quick to mention me for attesting to the credibility of Orji when they conceded a goal.
I hope we gradually finding out who the real Super Eagles fans and player worshipers are.

commend them for not being clinical infrot of goals or what...?
okputu wastefulness made us suffer this much.....
please you can commend them for all I care...after all we are not super eagles fans...to you.

TheSuperNerd:
Looollll.... Makes it all the more funny... marvelous BascoVanVeli told me he has seen Gabby miss a 1 on 0 chance... Literally. You know what I mean... Empty net. Hahahahaha... Happy he scored today shaa ooo... He alwyss seem to get into goalscoring positions and flunk...thanks Goodness, this was different.

Congratulations Nigeria.... Semi calling and I think Rohr will he expecting like three or four names from Salisu for check ups ....

oga supernerd 3 or 4 names from where?
please don't spoil the super eagles team...

so far so good...only ezenwa made the cut.

Shukusheka:
Play Okpotu as a winger? Na for throwing una go dey pack all him crosses.

he is a bit technical and skillful...but a woeful striker...

I really appluad his ball control from the midfield...but have no hope when he is in front of the opponent goal one on one wit the goalkeeper

AIG07:
you're absolutely right.

to be honest...yusuf should make okputu watch a replay of this match...and he should be asked to advise himself afterwards...

if i were the coach...I will rather play him as a winger...

TheSuperNerd:
Nobody loves to be labelled the villain....
It's a simple sturvs...

Lolllz

Danielnino00:
Another player has redeemed himself with a goal

I tell you...it seems all the flop are bent on redeeming their image...in this match.
they Better do...otherwise they won't like the stigma that will come afterwards

KevinDein:
Good goal.

Good assist from Ali. Calm finish by okpotu

did you just say...calm finish?
I rather call that...a lucky finish from okputu.
I am still not sold on that guy....he made us suffer all thru this match..had he convert those earlier chances it would have been better

safarigirl:
lol....and someone was saying that it would be unfair if none of the CHAN Eagles is invited for our next friendlies

at least 6 of them should make the world cup squad.....especially okputu...

Icon4s:
Omo that Timothy guy, is he playing for Nigeria or Angola?

abeg nor use laugh kill me....
and to believe I sacrifice Chelsea match today just to watch this team play...makes me more angry.

AIG07:
See the CBs some people want to replace the one's in the SEs.

please don't go there...one of those CB according to one of us...play better than Leon balogun...

did anyone hear...the commentator call the Nigeria team....local eagles?

Danielnino00:
Imagine if Yusuf had been appointed as the technical adviser(or whatever post Rohr currently holds), we would have been booted out of the WCQ after the Algeria game...


Seriously most of our local coaches are either too clueless or just blinded by sentiments...

and sir goodjoe was asking for him to be given some time to asses him further...
from his words...yusuf will handle some of our qualifying matches..



thank God for pinnick...

AIG07:
and baba onigbinde wants our national teams to be handle by these local coaches...

SMH.

You will soon see changes with the female national side.

One thing that pains me most is the unwillingness of our local coaches to learn. Yusuf is an Example.

and to think this yusuf once jostle for super eagles coaching job leaves me baffled...

it is so pathetic....the problem stems from the best always does not get the job...yusuf is not the best indigenous coach we have in the npfl...

safarigirl:
Lol, e don be

Oya, make Okpotu carry him mumu come back and make Salisu Yusuf go enroll for coaching classes

If you were the coach will you go ahead play okputu in this match after his flop all from the wafu cup....

I will blame salisu for this team woes...and not the players...for the better part of match the problem have been the forward...but salisu remain clueless to sub him....
