Noooo, pls come back .... don't go back to ghost mode .... we're not done yet grin grin

OK, when was the last time you saw Modric, Busquets, or Fernandinho scored from a freekick?
Besides Busquets and Modric are not great in shooting either. And Fernandinho isn't that great in dribbling.

The national assembly is the biggest problem in Nigeria! You just have a gang of thieves in there stealing whatever they could lay their hands on. Look at their salaries and allowances and you'd feel sorry for Nigeria. They even get ridiculous stuffs like "hardship allowance, newspaper allowance, car allowance, house allowance, etc etc."

The United States is the richest country in the world but over here the only thing congress men and women receive are their basic salaries and nothing else. In fact, their remuneration is so meager that many of them can't even afford the high apartment rent in Washington, DC; hence they sleep in their offices. Yet in one of the poorest countries in the world, their leaders tend to steal everything in the treasury. God will judge the Nigerian leaders .... all of them!

Chei! Are you aware that Leo Messi is the only player in the world who realistically possess all these qualities you listed. And I dare you to tell me who else does. Even Andres Iniesta, at his best, didn't possess all of those qualities. And that's the standard you've already set for the 21 year old Ndidihuh

Matic has slowed down tremendously, coupled with his natural lack of pace. This is not the Nemanja Matic of 3 or 4 years ago.

Forgiveness, give it up! There's no comparison between the 2012 Ramon Azeez and the 2017/18 Wilfred Ndidi or Oghenekaro Etebo.

And please check your records, Ndidi and Etebor did not use the national team to get game time in Europe either; so I don't know what point you were trying to make.

Quite amateurish, Mujta, but you might be onto something there. Ndidi's best games for the Super Eagles so far were on the two occasions he was paired with John Ogu (Algeria and Argentina).

We've been searching for answers ourselves without making much progress. As a matter of fact, I was telling a friend sometime ago that I don't know whether Onazi intimidates Ndidi or something grin


O pari

Mujtahida:
I really can't put my finger to it too but I guess it has to do with balance as in since both of them are predominantly right footed they play within the same zone and constrict each with Ndidi being the one who is more constricted. A left footed midfielder expands the zone of play by expanding the game in the direction of the left side of the pitch. And this brings balance and space which allows Ndidi's game to flow. I wont be surprised to see him blend with Joel cos Joel like Ogu is left footed. This is just my amateurish analysis sha.

Nah, I can't prove that of Skippo Keshi (RIP); but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then it must be a duck, right?

And while on that same topic, I can prove that it was it Pa Oni who first turned the Super Eagles camp into a business center prior to Japan-Korea 2002 World Cup. The going rate then was $10,000 per junk player. I personally know how Efe Sodjie made that world cup team.


O pari

Kog45:
Yes O pari master but specifically Reuben was mentioned being a clubless player.

I think others are not clubless,so possible they merited it and tell me players that are supposed to make the team.

I remember Elderson Echiejele was dropped due to injury, Obiorah Nwankwo couldn't meet up,Fengor Ogude lost his place due to his performance at afcon 2013,Nosa Igiebor had a woeful afcon 2013,Uche IK lost out due to indiscipline, Sunday Mba after Afcon couldn't reproduced the same form and Brown Ideye had a very woeful performance at confederation cup.These are the member of Afcon 2013 that were dropped.

Outside this Obafemi Martins was recalled but failed to impress,Joel Obi too couldn't meet up cos he was just coming back from injury,also Bright Dike had injury prior to WC

Oh for highest bidder,pls can you prove it.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Icon79(m): 7:06pm On Mar 12, 2018
Yes, the pre-Chelsea Mikel was a potential world class playmaker before the taskmaster, Jose Mourinho, rewired him and turned him into a DM "destroyer" grin

Anyway, let's hope that Joel Obi can combine well in the two pivot role with Ndidi. My concern is that, for some reasons, Ndidi doesn't seem to play well with Onazi. I can't put my finger on what the problem is because they are both fantastic players. I would like to see Ndidi-Joel Obi combo next week Friday. Fingers crossed!

asha80:
i am not convinced on that ... yes mourinho for whatever reason preferred him there and conviced him to start playing there and national team coaches also followed suite..however if i remember his exploits as attacking midfielder in the under 20 championship in Holland and his performance also in the eagles in recent times where he has played as attacking midfielder then i begin to doubt if DM is his best position..i hope he is fully fit in this world cup rest this issue.

at times that a player has played in a particular postion for most of his career and done well there might not necessarily mean that is his best postion eg lothar mathaus at italia 90

Actually, it wasn't just Reuben alone. We can excuse him if he had fumbled on only one or two players, but Keshi fumbled on:

Michael Uchebo
Shola Ameobi
Ejike Uzoenyi
Kunle Odunlami
Ramon Azeez
Uche Nwofor

And I can go on and on. So it wasn't just one player. The entire bench was useless - sold to the highest bidder.

Thank you! That's his best position, to be quite honest with you. Mikel could be our Andre Pirlo at the World Cup. Normally, when a player begins to age (Wayne Rooney) for instance, he would be moved further down the field, where he could use his experience to control the game without having to deal the pace. In a perfect world, that what we should do with Mikel.

The likes of Iwobi, Moses, Iheanacho, etc can handle the AM role.
