Do you know Aluko you have been clamouring for is 29 and also helped Hull city to premiership but was release immediately by hull.

If Aluko was that wonderful why didn't they hold him on with a contract

#hypocrite

you're trying to say that according to Komekn since Omeruo couldn't be signed permanently by Middlesborough even though he helped them to the premiership because he is not good enough that Aluko is not good enough that's why Hull city didn't retain him

Is Onyekuru on the list? NO. Cefini.


Top 10 Premier League Dribblers

MARCH 31, 2012 BY BACK PAGE FOOTBALL
The Premier League does not have Lionel Messi, or no longer boast the trickery of Cristiano Ronaldo, but here are the top 10 players to have produced the most successful dribble attempts in the 2011/12 season to date:

10. Gareth Bale (Tottenham Hotspur) – 49

Last season’s PFA Players’ Player of the Year has dribbled past opponents on 49 occasions this season. This included a standout performance in a 2-1 victory at Wigan where the Welsh winger successfully dribbled past opponents on half a dozen occasions and scored Spurs’ second goal midway through the first half which proved to be the winner.

Gareth Bale has completed 82% of his open play passes in his 28 starts this season, an improvement of 8% on last season. In fact, Bale has improved his figures in the Goals Scored, Assists and Crossing Accuracy this season as last season’s award still remains a mystery. Or was it because of his solo effort against Internazionale in the Champions League that swung the voters his way for the Premier League award?

9. Nani (Manchester United) – 49

Despite suffering from a couple of injuries this season, the Portuguese winger has succeeded in 49 dribble attempts in 22 starts for Manchester United in the Premier League this season. The former Sporting player was instrumental in Manchester United’s 3-1 victory over Chelsea, handing Andre Villas-Boas his first defeat as Chelsea manager. Nani scored the second goal of the game with a rising drive from outside the area before winning a penalty in the second half (which Wayne Rooney failed to convert).

Nani has contributed with 6 goals so far this season and eight assists in open play. Both of these are down on last season when he was a strong contender for PFA Player of the Year. Nani’s 1,876 minutes in the Premier League this season are more than any other Manchester United midfielder during an injury hit season for the team.

8. Jose Enrique (Liverpool) – 50

One of Kenny Dalglish’s better signings during his second spell at Liverpool, Jose Enrique is the only defender who makes the list. The Liverpool full back who often overlaps Stewart Downing on the left flank has successfully beaten 50 opponents with the ball at his feet during the 29 Premier League games he has played.

Jose Enrique has played the full 90 minutes in each of the league games he has started this season, only missing Liverpool’s 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur in February. The former Newcastle left back has picked up just two yellow cards this season, with one of his strengths pinning wingers to the touchline. Enrique’s attacking abilities has seen him attempt 115 crosses leading to 2 assists in the Premier League to date.

7. Stephane Sessegnon (Sunderland) – 51

The Sunderland forward has been one of the better attacking players in the Premier League this season. Stephane Sessegnon is amongst the top 10 in successful dribbling attempts (51), open play chances created (46) and open play goal assists (7).

Stephane Sessegnon is currently Sunderland’s top Premier League goalscorer with 7 goals, making his return to score against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday following a three-match ban for a straight red card in the Tyne-Wear derby. The Benin international has improved his Pass Completion Rate, Crossing Accuracy and Minutes per Created Chance in comparison to the 13 starts he made last season.

6. Luis Suarez (Liverpool) – 52

Despite sitting out 5 Premier League games through suspension, Luis Suarez makes the top 10 having successfully dribbled past players on 52 occasions during his 25 game season. The controversial Uruguayan is Liverpool’s top scorer with seven Premier League goals to date.

No other player has committed more handballs than the six Luis Suarez has been penalised for to date. Another category Suarez leads is free kicks won per game. Some opposition fans won’t be too surprised to hear that stat.

5. Scott Sinclair (Swansea City) – 54

The Swansea City left forward has contributed to the Premier League debutants with 7 goals, all at the Liberty Stadium and five from the penalty spot. The former Chelsea youth scored 19 goals during the Swans’ promotion campaign last season and has adapted well along with the Welsh side in the Premier League.

Scott Sinclair scored one goal in his 18 Premier League appearances on loan at Wigan Athletic in 2009/10 and has greatly improved his goal rate with Swansea, scoring his 7 goals in 30 games. Sinclair has not scored since a 1-1 draw at home to Chelsea at the end of January.

4. Nathan Dyer (Swansea City) – 54

Praised for their exciting passing game, Swansea City also have two of the top five dribblers in the Premier League. Along with team mate Scott Sinclair, Nathan Dyer has taken the ball past opponents on 54 occasions through 30 games this season. Dyer caught national attention during a 3-2 victory over Arsenal in January where he scored the home side’s second goal after winning a penalty for the first in a game he dribbled past three Gunners.

Nathan Dyer has created more chances (25) than team mate Sinclair (22), but only has one assist compared to his team mates three. The former Southampton youngster has succeeded with 56% of his dribble attempts, whilst Sinclair’s success rate is 48%.

3. Moussa Dembele (Fulham) – 63

The lively Fulham forward has caught the attention of a number of football fans and pundits alike for his dribbling and technical ability. Moussa Dembele scored his only 2011/12 Premier League goal to date in a 2-0 victory at Wigan at the end of October. In that game, the Belgian international successfully dribbled past four opponents but failed to create a single opportunity for a team mates.

The former AZ player has scored four Premier League goals in 55 appearances, creating 74 chances for team mates, resulting in five assists during that time. Manager Martin Jol may want Dembele to increase his productivity levels at Craven Cottage, but the Fulham number 30 has certainly shown his ability to entertain in the English league.

2. Victor Moses (Wigan Athletic) – 72

Following the sale of Charles N’Zogbia to Aston Villa in the summer, Wigan Athletic fans and manager Roberto Martinez were looking at Victor Moses to fill in his place. The former Crystal Palace player has certainly had his opportunities on the left wing, but has yet to fill into the French man’s boots. Chairman Dave Whelan criticised his manager for leaving Moses on the bench for a home game with Swansea City recently, but the three Premier League goals scored by the Nigerian so far this seaso have made him anything but prolific.

Victor Moses’ 72 successful dribble attempts are down on the 109 Charles N’Zogbia produced in a Wigan shirt last season, and the new left-sided player is also down on the former’s goal assists; five to one. N’Zogbia’s nine goals last season were a big factor in Wigan avoiding relegation last season, can Victor Moses become the 2011/12 hero in the final eight games?

Now, show me where Onyekuru is the best dribbler in Belgium or among the best in Europe?

Make una stop to dey deceive people 4 here.

Think we're going to have problems against teams that sit back i.e Iceland.

the first game at the mundial will determine who sits back the most between Nigeria and Iceland in the second game

If they need a win crucially, they must need come out

But Uzoho sha

Please should i mail you too

komekn:
There is no, 'I think' in this matter.

The comparison was made in direct comparison to the supposed obsessive reliance of France on ZZ Zidane in the world cup. And our similar reliance on Mikel.

That comparison is simply not tenable. France had a team with a number of World class tried and tested top level players. For instance Deschamp, Thuram, Trezeguet, Vieira, Thierry, Pires, etc This team was star studded.

We are not on that level individually speaking. Our strength is in team cohesion, spirit and determination not on individual exceptional world beating talent.

he was only telling us the deficiency in over reliance on a player in this case Mikel Obi

If a whole star studded France can't keep their heads high when Zizou went out, then how much more the gwg

komekn:
You really can not make that kind of comparison you should know better.

Look at the other top players that were in the French team, Deschamp, Vieira, Thierry Thuram. Playing in the creme de La creme of Europes top clubs.

Our team does not have strength in depth in terms if top quality players.

he's not running a comparison of our teams with their

i think he was drawing attention to the fact that the 2 Dms used by those teams were not having different playing styles as people are clamoring for our DMs to be

eterisan:
tackles don't win you championships, goals and assists do. Top players, win you championships, top players give goals and assists..... Sad but true..

a striker should be fielded from the goalkeeping position to the striking position then

eterisan:
yes boss.... You know a real top top quality player can take a game by the scruff of the neck and change it... A moment of magic or brilliance... The guy was everywhere..... Ndidi doesn't have that in his locker yet.. That wow moment.... Heart skipping move that can turn a game on his head. .... Let's say Nigeria is in dire need of a goal...who do we look to for inspiration... Who makes something happen.... Not ndidi for me.... This is the point I have been hammering. ..... Tackling alone isn't enough to break the ceiling into real top top quality. . Superstar...... He is on the rise though. . Great performance from ndidi tonight.... Better days ahead....

they don't play same position

tbaba1234:
Balogun was NOT at fault for any of the goals..


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCuVtyPQnpk

Una sure say Akpeyi no better pass this keeper

eterisan:
God bless you for your honesty... But you can try nd check their stats with opta or whoscored.com...then we talk OK... Seri was at one time a target for barca... This guy is an ivorian... Discussions where even held.... So what has Seri got.. That ndidi lacks.... Infact na me love ndidi pass for here cos I am bn objective.... Those calling him world class and finished article are just fan boys and girls that hype any high performing eagle player to high heavens.... After them go criticise oga komekn and English media and league..... When they are obnoxiously biased when it comes to the super eagles players

I'm not sure anybody did call him world class

It was just someone here that decided to call him that to end the argument


From what I've been reading from the so called fan boys I think they mean he's the best for now in performing the traditional DM role which is to shield the defense and break up attack and from most of them, they said there's surely room for improvement and only opined that for the little he's doing now, he should be given a little recognition for it

eterisan:
matic na old man now, that argument is dead already... Now we are comparing ndidi to his mates.. Fred, weigl, sms, can etc.. And why they are targets for top clubs nd not ndidi.... What aspects of their game is ndidi lacking cos obviously ndidi is the best tackler.... Me thinks this should be the direction of the discuss now

Modified... Let's add tolisso already of bayern.... Winks of Tottenham..... Seri of lille.....

like Safari, I hardly watch games these days so I can't really say anything about them all

Mickael2:
I did, he went there in August and it wasn't until November/December that we started complaining

you forgot he was injured?

Sanches has been consistent in man utd's line up since his arrival

Mickael2:
I still do not understand y'all. Before Iheanacho came to Leicester who was he? Who knew his name? Why would you all of a sudden send Vardy to the bench? When Alexis came who was he? The best player in Arsenal, who was going to bench him? Martial? Rashford? Not to mention that Alexis never took part in the ManU preseason, so you can say that this is his own preseason and there is no shame in that, he is adapting

did you consider Iheanacho not adopting tii because he didn't partake in preseason

Mickael2:
Yes!!! Everton not Southampton. In fact let me take it upon myself to find out the players that have topped the tackling dept for the last 5 seasons

please include the number of tackles they won all season too

eterisan:
I am a city fan... Lolz... And city is seriously in search for a dm..... They are the mark of excellence right now.... So if ndidi is so good why is he not a target for them.... Oga tbaba1234 could not mention one top team interested in ndidi nd the dm ndidi will bench...... I so much love what ndidi has achieved, I aspire for him to reach the top level... But saying he is there yet when clearly he is not is..... Smh..... I tire..... Naso una been do for nacho case o..... When chief icon4s say the boy never ready..... Some even claim... TheGoodJoe...... Say nacho better pass Gabriel Jesus nd mbappe..... Now how d thing turn out..... Mek we De calm down jo

and the report stated Matic as their top target for the role

Kog45:
If Matics is world class then Mikel is world class no arguments

Everton’s Gylfi Sigurdsson may miss World Cup after damaging knee joint​

Everton’s Gylfi Sigurdsson is to see a specialist amid concerns his season has been ended by a knee injury which could also put his World Cup participation in doubt.

The Icelander played the full 90 minutes of the 2-0 win against Brighton at Goodison Park on Saturday but it has emerged he may have damaged ligaments.

Sigurdsson is to have the problem assessed on Monday evening but could be out for the rest of Everton’s campaign, which would throw into doubt his chances of featuring in Iceland’s first World Cup, in Russia this summer.

His brother Olafur Mar Sigurdsson has spoken to Icelandic media and claims the joint of the player’s right knee is damaged. “It is anticipated the 28-year-old Icelandic international could be sidelined for several weeks but it will only be after consulting with the specialist that a definitive time frame will be known,” an Everton statement read.

The £45m club-record signing endured a difficult start to his Everton career having moved from Swansea in the summer as his struggles were matched by the team’s.

The accident couldn't have been more fatal but for an incident that happened few minutes before then

A bikeman brushed a ladies car and the woman had to park at the middle of the road to tell the bike rider to fix the car which caused hold up on the road only for a trailer to fail break far behind and start clearing the vehicles ahead of it causing the accident that's pictured above

tbaba1234:
Some were good/decent.. One was wayward.. In terms of crossing, Aina is the best crosser.

seems Iheanacho is trying in positioning for crosses having scored a header today and another in the qualifiers

We might be needing it in the world cup I think

tbaba1234:
Online stream..

with mobdro or

tbaba1234:
Another powerful run by Sadiq, stopped this time.. The man is terrorizing defenders

please which station are you watching it let me see if I can tune in

tbaba1234:
Ebuehi pushing forward more since they conceded a second, delivering several crosses. No product yet..

please the crosses are they wayward or straight to the target

With good positioning of our forward players will it cause trouble for our opponents?

I'm just trying to weigh the option of crosses

tbaba1234:
Ola Aina is part of this Hull team that is always shipping goals

but he most times get a high rating


Probably he's doing his bits while others aren't
