Ex Golden Eaglet Star Musa Yahaya Post Man Of The Match Performance For Porto In Win Over Arsenal

Arsenal U23s suffered another disappointment after losing yet again in the final of another Cup game, few days after losing the English FA Youth Cup to Chelsea.
Porto retained the Premier League International Cup title which they won last year with a slim 0-1 win over the youth team of the gunners with ex Nigeria youth international Musa Yahaya playing a pivotal role in sinking the young gunners.

Yahaya operated a little higher up the pitch, different from the wing back role he has played for most of the season for the B team of Porto in the second division in Portugal.

He was very lively and his close ball control, pace and dribbles kept the Arsenal back line busy all through the game. His performance earned him a man of the match rating.

However Porto’s goalkeeper Mouhamed Mbaye made two big save which was also very decisive in Porto successfully defending the title, which is usually contested by U23s of selected top division teams around Europe.

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 36 days 20 mins to go

I doubt he is even the stand out player at Hull. Is he their player of the season? Statistical MOTM or official one?
Was he even nominated at all for the seasonal awards?

I already posted recent article on him.

komekn:
That is the point he is a stand out player.

How many MOTM has he won in his club and league, how many times has he been in the championship team of the week.

Do your homework and comment from knowledge not presumption.

Roberts came to Liverpool after Hull were relegated. I will expect to see Aina in the EPL next season.

Lol he prolly invested in a huge real estate with that money. Quietly cooling off somewhere hahaha

Truidstar:
That Sani Keita incident I still believe was the work of a betting syndicate. What provoked him to lash out still baffles me to this day. Unfortunately that was the end of his Eagles Career.

Buhahahaha

Na forgiveness can’t komekn

Icon79:
To answer your challenge/question, sir: Well, you've represented yourself as Komekn when you're actually Forgiveness

Does that one count


O pari

Oga u urself know say if u were among sky sports analysts you will not say such in front of TV.

komekn:
Those are very strong words.

Please tell the house one lie i have spoken If you can not then that makes you a bigger LIAR.

Some nuggets for u lol

Sir are we going to breeze past ghosts to the semi finals? Let’s be realistic to talk about who our likely opponents will be at the advanced stages. We can’t just set goals blindly as if we are a nation of stars.

Let’s remain hopeful that we can get to the SF or even win the cup, but at the same time let’s not lose sight of realism.

Kog45:
Joebie it seems guys are changing tone now,before we are all clamouring for solid performance at least quarter final but now it is a team for the future no matter the performance.

The only long term approach was to have a decent performance at Russia,playing in 2019 and 2021 afcon and qualified for 2020 WC,nothing more.

Ok we are on the same page.

Icon4s:
Try and understand what Kog45 is saying. If we have a woeful outting that can lead to a total disbanment and over-haul of the whole process. And we begin all over again hoping for another miracle in Qatar.

If this team at least gives a descent performance it will set the stage for continuity of the progress being made and this may lead to better performances in the future.

As for me, I am really pleased with the current progress of the team and would want to see it sustained. Even though I don't belong to those that have set so high a target for the team, I expect a descent outing at least.

Sir it won’t be woeful. what we have now is something that looks sustainable. We want decent representation and steady progress. That’s better than getting to the
QF then falling off the radar in subsequent WCs. Let’s have a more long term approach for once and not expect magic overnight.

Kog45:
We can only get better team in the future with good performance not woeful one at WC.

Quarterfinals no be achievement to me. Make una dey busy dey compete with Keshi etc

Pride of Africa when dey lag behind Senegal and Ghana. We no dey shame? We need
to get things right. If not this time, in Qatar. I’m not expecting magic in Russia. But we need to be realistic and patient. While this team is good, it can only get better in future.

Kog45:
That's not my point and mind you we are not going to WC to prepare for future only but performance by beating previous records set by Westerhoff, Bora and Keshi.

Senegal came to 2002 WC with young and talented player for the first time and reached quarter final and we are going to our sixth WC,no excuse for failure.

Uzoho flops or Rohr not qualify from group stage would not be acceptable to average Nigeria fans.

My man Rohr know what is at stake and is working round the clock to have good performance,anything short of this,forget o.

Ebuehi!!!

Echiejile played 90mins in their final matches leading to their promotion. I just needed
to correct that.

charlesemeka85:
i'm not an advocate of home based players but will love it if rohr can given the current u20 captain a chance in the team after the world cup. i monitored him closely during the last Chan and i must confess he is a massive talent who just need to be polished. i he secures a move to Europe in no distant time. elderson not being able to command a starters shirt in the belgian 2nd division signifies its high time he calls it a day in the round leather game

Echiejile played for the first team of Cercle Brugge na.

Humility017:
and he can't even make the first team for that Belgium division 2 club and some peeps are hanging on the guise of experience to squeeze him into the super eagles...Russia party.

ehen u don talk am clearly..

Icon4s:
Huddersfield are playing a Chelsea that needs the win to have a hope of playing in UCL next year. See, Chelsea will win that game.

Huddersfield are on 36points and GD of -29
Swansea are on 33points and on GD of -27.

If Huddersfield loses to Chelsea their GD will even be worse.

The key for Swansea's survival lies on Arsenal to beat Huddersfield on the last day and for Swansea themselves to beat Stoke even by half zero.

I see HUDDersfield as even having the higher HUDDle to cross.

I don't know how serious Arsenal will take their last game but they will want to send Wenger off with a win. But Chelsea will aim at beating Huddersfield tomorrow by every means.

So there is hope for Swansea.

Ehen dat na another matter.

Huddersfield has two difficult games left.. it's not impossible for them to lose both and for Swansea to win their final game against already relegated Stoke.. make we keep our fingers crossed for Tammy and co.. lol

Icon4s:
No. But it is no longer in their hands.

how na?
na so u hate Tammy reach? lol


na only West Brom and Stoke

elyte89:
E don sure na

Has Swansea been officially relegated?

elyte89:
Tammy relegated

Westbrom relegated


Stoke relegated

Chelsea loanee reflects on lengthy learning curve at Hull City

Let’s talk about Ola Aina.
By Ram Srinivas@rramesss May 4, 2018, 11:05pm BST

Ola Aina has had something of a bittersweet first full season out on loan, at Hull City. It’s been a time of uncertainty and chaos for the club itself, following their relegation from the Premier League last season. Most of their best players were sold all too easily by the owners and the club were left ridiculously short on first-team players until the very end of the transfer window. Aina was one of three Chelsea players loaned to Hull, who had Roman Abramovich’s friend Leonid Slutsky in charge for the first half of the season.

It was always going to be a tough job for Slutsky to produce results with a team that hadn’t even had a proper pre-season together and was generally quite young, apart from some senior figures like Michael Dawson, Allan McGregor and David Meyler. Many youngsters, such as Aina, Fikayo Tomori and Hull City’s own academy graduates such as Max Clark and Jarrod Bowen were thrown into the deep end. Bowen took to the Championship like a duck to water but the transition for Aina wasn’t quite as easy in the circumstances.

Here’s Aina himself, reflecting on the months gone by that have helped improve him as a player.

“It’s been my first loan and it has been enjoyable, even though it has been a difficult season at times.

“I’ve certainly enjoyed playing regular first team football and being part of the squad here. I think I have developed as a player over the season and I feel as though I have matured both on and off the field.

“I’ve always been able to look after myself but being away from home, away from my parents and my siblings, has probably been good for me in terms of maturing and it has all been a part of this experience here. Having Fik (Fikayo Tomori) and Hec (Michael Hector) here has probably also been a help, but even if they weren’t here I think I would still have been okay because of the way things are set-up here.”

That’s as far as the mental and off-the-pitch aspects of it go.

On the pitch, especially in his early appearances, one could tell that the young full-back had a lot to work on to get up to speed with the level required of him. As he’d shown at Chelsea, he could prove to be an effective force going forward but there were holes all over the defensive part of his game, from positioning to decision-making. Aina was also guilty on multiple occasions of taking one touch too many in dangerous areas, where simply clearing the ball might’ve been the better option. He acknowledges the same.

“On the field I have learnt a lot as well – it’s certainly not U23s football anymore. You’re learning how to judge games and when and where to do things.

“In the early stages of the season I was probably doing things in the wrong areas of the pitch. As the season has gone on, I’ve realised that sometimes it’s not a bad thing to just put your foot through the ball and clear it.

“That’s not necessarily the way we’ve been coached coming up through the youth teams, you’re taught to play your way out, but sometimes putting your foot through it is the best thing in men’s football.”

However, perhaps most importantly, both Slutsky and Nigel Adkins, his successor, have shown faith in Aina even as he made mistakes. He has over 40 appearances to his name this season and no doubt, he’s become a better player with each one of them. Regular minutes at Hull City have also seen him regularly called up to the senior Nigeria team and even make his debut. He may well be going to the World Cup, too!

As far as his future at Chelsea is concerned, Ola realises that it’s not going to be easy to earn a regular first-team place at Stamford Bridge and is simply focusing on tackling what’s ahead of him right now, as he should.

“Chelsea is a big club and they have a lot more to focus on than just me.

“They have a lot of other players out on loan, as well as the players currently there. For me personally, I’m working hard towards the dream of playing for Chelsea because they are the club that I have always supported, long before I was scouted by them.

“We don’t know what the future holds, but Hull City has been my bread and butter this season and all I want is for us to finish strongly at the weekend.”

It’s been a lengthy learning curve for Aina at the KCOM Stadium this season but ultimately, it’s made him a better player and will help him a great deal when it comes to overcoming whatever his challenge is, next season. Sometimes it’s a long road to the first-team, and one that may not even lead there but if nothing else, there is a lot of experience to gain along the way.

so true sir

Kog45:
Goid to have Shehu, Idowu,Ebuehi, Aina and experience Echiejile in the team competing.

Aina started the season very well no doubt.. but overall speaking, sir you have told a lie oh..

komekn:
I have seen him play up close and personal and he us strong, rugged and tenacious.

You really can not compare him to Ebuehi or Shehu because he has not played in the RB position for Nigeria to make a fair comparison.

Ola Aina is arguably the best RB in the championship.

na komekn arguement no forget.. we know his standards. This is a team that is currently 18th. Aina will have to be a stand out performer to even deserve an invite because he does not play for the top 3 teams.

if u are talking based on number of games he's played this season alone, yes it's outstanding oh also considering that the championship has 24 teams, meaning every club will have to play at least 46 games all season. Yes it's very outstanding sir. Satisfied now.. but to say he is rugged and better than Ebuehi.. na wa. I'm yet to see a better full back in this current SE better than a fully fit Ebuehi.

Kog45:
Sir am sorry,you are taking it to another level,so let me stop here.

About 80 minutes gone. Waregem lead Waasland 7-0
Olayinka scored the opener

It's expected na.. no be second tier league

Modified
Did Hull City finish in the top 10 of the Championship table? I'll have to confirm

Kog45:
Sir did you read my comment very well cos my point is about not outstanding.A player had over 45 appearances for his club and you said is not outstanding.

who made TOTW for the week's he didn't? If he is the best RB in the Championship I'm sure Wolves or Cadiff would be interested in loaning him from Chelsea for next season. I doubt he's considered among the top 3 right backs in the Championship.

Modified
Sir you have seen him play.. would u describe him as rugged?

Kog45:
Joebie,Aina not outstanding?with over 45 appearances and still counting this season wiith MOTM and making team of the week several time.

He's played for their junior national sides so that's expected.. if we don't approach him, we'd never know.

edi287:
Heard he is waiting for a Dutch invite.

Iwobi makes WhoScored EPL team of the week

Even if na LWB sef, he would thrive

Icon4s:
No matter the formation, as long as Moses is fit, Rohr will definitely accommodate him in the starting lineup.

#TransferRumors

Kingsley Ehizibue on the verge of joining a Bundesliga club

Moses as false 9, Ebuehi as RWB.

kennysville:
Question is if we were to play 3-5-2, must moses play?

Add Ekong and Balogun.

Icon79:
There are certain players who, baring injury, are sure starters on this team regardless of formation. They are: John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses.
And you can throw in Wilfred Ndidi into the mix as well. All the other positions are negotiable.
