komekn: Ighalo was playing in Laliga at 20 he must have had something to be in La liga you are being UNKIND.
But we are talking about the HERE and NOW not speculative assumption. A player the Management has said he currently lacks what it takes.
Look at SE strikers of the past and present.
Yakubu, Yekini, Ighalo, Anichibe. Odemwingie, Ideye. Emenike, Obagoal, Ikpeba. Look at thier attributes all of them had a good degree of physicallity and the best strikers were the strongest physically speaking.
So a good degree of physicality is a must have not just a desirable among other essential attributes.
DrLikita12: We are grateful to Mikel, Akpeyi and Ogu for their services over the years. It's time for them to bow out. Possibly Ezenwa as well. We may need to buy seat belt for Musa if he gets called up again. Time to scout, learn and build -we need CBs, GKs and more midfielders. Time for our league to get a look in.
I go vex for you o what do you you mean by Ezenwa possibly? It is surely o, Ezenwa must go he's old and not adding any value
Mickael2: Sorry if I am drifting away from today's match but....this is what Pep himself said today.
"West Ham created problems, had chances and played good. After the summer time, after most of them having just four training sessions, it is normal to make mistakes, but is it good! It is better to see it in the games than in training sessions; training is fake, not real, and when you play against a real opponent, that is the best way to improve.
Cc theGoodJoe, why have you then been telling us that training is what improves a player when Pep himself has pointed out that trainings are fake? This should be a sound advice for all players moving this season, don't go to a club just to go there and train, go to where you'd be sure of regular playing time. Finito
Taliban: If the line up us true, am disappointed by Rohr finally. This is a losers final for crying out loud, I understand Ighalo''s inclusion but the subs should be starting this game. Ogu, Onyekuru, simon, balogun even shehu except he's injured, kalu etc. Na wa o.
so when he loose you people can come for his head again
BascoVanVeli: Mehn Enyeama's own was worse oh. I think Yakubu's miss kind of excused him though. Plus he is Vincent freaking Enyeama and his quality was never in doubt.
A young Gk is not the solution for the immediate term
I will take a regular, performing NPFL GK (that has/had/will play in CAF champions league) over any of the guys we currently have.
Those small boys are for the youth team. GK is about experience and exposure. Understudy a more experienced GK, yes but not to take over the reins immediately
prenations cup, Rhor said he'll take a look at Maduka Okoye
Odunayaw: Alright, Mikel? good idea. Shehu? I doubt there's no one here that'd be offering kind words to Rohr afterwards
imagine Mikel comes in, loose possession Algeria counter and score a late winner i'm sure the music will be 'he's been off form all tournament long why bring him in'
Y'all who want Rhor out better brace up, if baba no resign nothing NFF can do, report say NFF will have to pay him 1mill dollars if they choose to terminate his contract and the NFF is currently cash strapped
Taliban: Any feelers on tomorrow's game? Already getting jittery o, hope say we emerge the best loser tomorrow in the loser''s final. Cos those Tunisians are very good and compact o, na dem comet demselves from final with their unfortunate own goal. Also hope our boys are practising penalties too. Tomorrow's losers final is a must win so we can add to our bronze collection.
Go Eagles, soar high!!!!
I never see formation for the game tomorrow, please drop it like it's hot.
forgiveness: That's if he still remains the coach. He should be gone by now.
I may change my mind if he's ready to bring in mildfielders into the team and if NFF will sack all those Nigerian assistant coaches and replace them with foreign technical advisers and foreign goalkeeper trainer.
forgiveness: To slow to react. In the last few minutes, it was obvious our mildfield collapsed due to fatigue.
Unfortunately, no player to replace them on the bench.
you can't really blame him, extra time was looming who would he bring in? Mikel? he needed to be careful not to upset the balance of the team at such a crucial time
komekn: But they will know JJay, Okocha, Taribo, Yobo, Ikpeba, Kanu, Yekini, etc
When we say to people that African football has not progressed the way it should have people get all defensive, this is reflection of that. Considering our players and where they play today.
it's not an African thing, ask ordinary folks who aren't football addict to name a Brazilian player they'll probably be able to give you Neymar and may start mentioning Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Carlos and Rivaldo.
