Welcome officially to the thread.

Eligreat247:
I think I like this logic of yours... I go with you on this.
My first comment on this forum. I've been following you guys (though in ghost mood) since 2012 and you guys are all wonderful

Jupiler League update:

Waregem 2-2 Kortrijk
85 mins played
Olayinka starts and scores Waregem's first goal, as their arrowhead in attack.

Ajagun also starts for Kortrijk in RM.

The case concerning Echiejile is simple. Anyone who can play LB and don't get bullied like the way he was bullied can replace him. You are either bad or good. I've not seen a fine performance from Echiejile for quite a while. Let's remove all sentiments about age etc. we have 20 year olds starting as defenders in the big leagues and countries. Yes we are going to need experience at the back. Echiejile is not the kind of experience we need. Balogun is. Aina will bench Echiejile at LB. it's not complicated.

Jupiler League Update:

Mouscron still lead 2-1, at home to Club Brugge. 71 minutes played

Awoniyi subbed out in the 60th minute.

He had a hand in the first goal as he was fouled in the 18 yard box.

forgiveness:
Who say somebody no dey read comment on Nairaland?

This is a good one and deserves a thunderous rounds of applause.

Jupiler League Update:

Mouscron currently up 2-1, at home to Club Brugge.

Awoniyi's strike partner, Bolingi has scored a brace. 57 minutes played

He also played as RB for Wolves so many times. Glad he is still in the Championship.

forgiveness:
Now, we're talking.

Dominic Iorfa is one of the best option for the CB slot. I have seen him play in that position for Wolves and he performed wonderfully well.

His father wants him to play for Nigeria and NFF should quickly do something about it fast.

He has decided to play for Nigeria.

Well Rohr won't be Pellegrini. It's an unrealistic expectation you know. But anyways at least we all now know where Rohr is coming from, and hopefully we will understand his future decisions. And let's hope that it all goes well

TheGoodJoe:
Still not my style but I respect the manager's choice. He wants different style of play to make the team easy to adapt to different approaches of other teams and also make the Super Eagles unpredictable.

I am more of a Pellegrini person. Master a system and be a master of it.

Sheyi Ojo of Fulham out due to ankle injury

Championship Update:

Wolves 1-0 Millwall

Bright Enobakhare, 59th minute sub in for Wolves

okay oga sir

TheSuperNerd:
Look, I said he seemed to have shaken off his toe injury setback based on his ability to still get involved in his teams' (Super Eagles and The Foxes) plays and also got a goal recently.... but I then said his fitness level and overall physical conditioning is the issue why Leicester don't wanna rush him just yet into the first XI... This guy missed preseason and was so behind others in his fitness level and ocwrall physical conditioning..... he is gradually getting there physically and fitness wise but still need a little more time.

I even gave a timeline of this month possibly passing before We get to see a super fit Nacho unleashed from the start...

Trust this is clear enough now even though I happen to be repeating myself.

Championship Update:

Aston Villa - Brentford tie end in a scoreless draw.

Josh Onomah started for Villa, and was subbed out on the 71st minute.

I just said I assumed you were speaking based on his recent performances. I'm sure there are many middle grounds. Sometimes we agree more than we think we disagree

TheSuperNerd:
Read again Sir Joebie.... I used the word "Seem/seemed" because he scored on international duty... did I not? Then I went on to explain why Leicester are taking it easy with him... did I not?

Do I have any reason to feel vindicated? I've always advocated for us mastering different formations, and I've been a preacher of dynamism.
Someone is reading Rohr's mind. And I once told you there is nothing wrong with packing the bus sometimes as a strategy to winning games.

TheGoodJoe:
tbaba1234 thank you for the nice post on Gernot Rohr.

From the interview, I can see we have a very sound technical Adviser and team manager. Looks the right man to lead the team. His founding principles are solid and I think we the supporters need to buy into his philosophies. (I am also guilty of this)
He wants everyone to trust the decision of the team manager. I think that includes the fans and supporters.

A good point is that his scouting department are doing their best to monitor most of our players, especially during the weekends. He also wants the team flexible playing different styles and formations. Including the parked bus system I detest so much. He believes in a balance of youth and experience. So we should not expect him throwing any bright new shining object into the team. He will blend in players with time. Not rash and he will maintain a solid balance to the best of his ability.

He wants the team United along with the NFF. He believes in the team but wants us respecting every opponent. In football, anything can happen.

He still considers Enyeama a key member of the team but he might not rush Enyeama into the team. Also, Enyeama might not wear the captain band.

Nice interview that got us a chance to know the coach better.

You said he has shaken off his injury right. That's if I read it well. So I assumed you are judging from his recent performances.

TheSuperNerd:
I didn't address his performance.... I addressed the various talks of his bench role and some people's eagerness to see him play from the start. That was my central message.

Make dem take that Toru case seriously oh.. One thing I also learned from the Rohr interview, he is planning for Russia and beyond.. He said something about the league, and things we need to improve. Also his focus on players with the right ages. These set of players can go on to play for us for another decade maybe..

TheSuperNerd:
Say hello to Jordan.... The NFF are on his case according to reports.

Well at least we all agree that he did pretty well in the just concluded game.

TheSuperNerd:
I addressed both what he said and what others on the thread are insinuating about Nacho's bench role.

Yes same competition I've been clamoring for as regards Echiejile in SE.. He is too comfortable, and it's now telling.

adegwurulez:
The competition will only make moses improve

Okay but you are both on the same page. I didn't see any signs of fears from what TheGoodJoe said.

TheSuperNerd:
To be honest.... I don't know why some are kinda panicking over Nacho's gametime for now... It is clear he is top quality and will bring lovely depth and solid packages to the Leicester team in attack but he needs to be up there in terms of his fitness levels.

I believe they are taking their time with him and have been doing so since week 1 because of that toe... he does seem to have shaken that off and even scored on international duty but thing is, His fitness level isn't at 90%-100% yet... he missed a whole preseason period and played just 17 mins against Mochengladbach and picked up that toe injury... since then, Leicester have been careful with their prized asset as they worked hard to help him recover from the toe setback as well as Still working on his overall physical conditioning and fitness level.

So for me... I say give Nacho this month... he will keep getting his cameos for maybe a few more weeks like 2-3 more... after which I believe the best of Nacho will be ready to be unleashed from the start. So Lads and Lasses plsss chill... Nacho is highly needed in The Leicester team. They need his quality and they know it and that is why they wanna take things easy with him for the long-term benefits of seeing a real player shine for them.


Even Shakes said something like.... "When Nacho is 100% fit and physically eager to have a go from the start, then we will see a real player... we know what he brings"
