chrisooblog:
Lol you're a comedian. How old do you think I am? Unlike you I'm not dragging respect on this forum like some insecure agbaya! Senior men on this thread behave sensibly and are given their due respect but nobody disrespects any except you and your penchant for childish outbursts.

Do yourself a favour and grow up.

Pls Chris baba,let it slide.

Nigeria U17 star Ola Oyinlola moves to Liga academy…young shall grow.

goodnessme1:
He should also buy for Yooloba miscreants on nairaland.

and yooloba miscreants will share it with their yibomeri miscreants on nairaland cuz una understand una selves wella spitting tribalism views.

Alfryd:
Daddy I think we have chance with atulobi (not sure I got the name spelled correctly) that hamburger GK in bundesliga than this guy... this guy won't drop Austria citizenship for Nigeria o... assuming he will he won't pick Austria u20 over us o

It would be a massive coup if we get him

komekn:
Omeruo has stagnated and has nothing to offer the SE.

He has never gone beyond being average or below his club career says it all.

Okay

Nomyth:
Who knows his name?

Tobias Okiki Lawal.Good to see him against Liverpool and hope NFF can convince him to drop Austria citizenship cuz Austria law is against dual citizenship.It was this barrier that stopped him from featuring for Nigeria under Rohr.

Safarigirl the Law oya cuz you like seeing Nigeria national teams with cute guys and fine girls.

ChrisKels:
You don't have to be extremely good to play ahead of those I mentioned.

In my opinion, he is just better than them.

A rookie like Igoh Ogbu to be better than Veteran Omeruo,Ekong,Ajayi,Adarabioyo and ,Bassey to me he is extremely good.

Pidginwhisper:
Defense shaping up, Forward loaded, but midfield is thin. Shey we no get midfielders ni. Make we bring in these U17/U20 boys. Teams playing 15-16yrs old players no get 2 heads now.

I will always give it to Westerhoff.He knew after Senegal 92 that he was having issue of traditional number 6 which is DM.He searched and got Oliseh,against Ethiopia Sunday Oliseh at 20 send experienced Friday Ekpo away from the team with his displayed.

Peseiro just need to open more to solve the midfield issues cuz against North Africa teams you need a balance midfield and in a tournament names don’t do it but team chemistry

Daninya33:
How old was Pele when he won the world cup for Brasil?

I remember when Awoniyi got his first cap under Keshi…Iwobi under Siasia…Leon Balogun under Keshi….Osimhen under Rohr if am rightly…Henry Nwosu was 17 years old in 1980 Afcon…Keshi was 21 and captained eagles….Adokiye a university student

We are having issue in the middle and is glaringly but we are still dragging on emerging young talents like Eletu and Akinsanmiro.All we need now is to fix the missing link and make the team balance cuz tactically Peseiro has not really convinced me.

Marjoribanks:
Senegal no sabi! I am not scared of any team. They should be wary of us.
We will break any AFCON defence with a rejuvenated Ndidi and Iwobi in midfield, and an attack of Boni, Moffi, Lookman, Chuz, Simon and the Oga himself (Osimhen).
Without injuries/red card AFCON will be a walk over for us! Believe me!

Yes but we failed in last Afcon and WC qualifiers due to poor goalkeeping and if care is not taken am seeing the same scenario happening…imagine Uzoho warming the bench in a very poor league .

ChrisKels:
I would play Igoh Ogbu ahead of Omerou, Ekong, Ajayi and Adarabioyo*

The guy must be extremely good,hope to see him soon

TheGoodJoe:
You agree he is an English national team legend. Then try to downplay with across the board. That downplay is going out of context of the debate.

The debate is about tactical knowledge, not comparing Le Saux with Maldini or Carlos or Puyol.

Now, an English national team legend, meets a young player and gets some tactical concepts of defending from the young player. Then exclaimed that he learnt more in that lesson than all he learnt in his whole career.

That is the point. Not comparing across board.

The gulf in knowledge between Le Saux, who is a bigger name as far as I am concerned to Alderweireld will give you a picture of how the old guards are less informed tactically.

In summary does it makes Le Saux a poor player to new generation players.

Knowledge in football should not be static so not a news to me that Le Saux acknowledged the recent tactics in football or do you want the tactics to remain as it was ten years ago.

We don’t need to talk much on this except if you are using the new knowledge to downplay older ones.

AndSunGorilla:
Didn't Rohr invite him? I can't remember why he turned down the invite.

I thought passport issue,no dual citizenship in Austria.

Bannedlargedx2:
Aside if yekini, there are other players on your list that osimehn is much better and team has to select their best possible 11. Personally, I will have the both of them on my Nigeria all time 11

Well your formation but seeing Osimhen and Awoniyi partnership should tell you that either Yekini or Osimhen,one must be on the bench cuz Yekini/Owubokiri partnership against South Africa was a reminiscent of Osimhen/AWO against São Tomé.

Odunayaw:
Na this straight no nonsense opinion na im I de like o Elder.

English football used to be largely kick and rush.

Mr Joe harping on him & Toby made it look like the new teaching the greats of old.

Joe drew our attention to Le Saux and Toby interview to drive his point and to be candid there is that wide gap now but the same Le Saux will make the present England team that’s having Chilwell.

Bannedlargedx2:
There’s no way that osimehn won’t be on Nigeria all time xi even if his career end today (God forbid) tell me a Nigerian footballer that achieved something similar to what osimehn achieved at Napoli last season? Mind you, the likes of Kanu, Mikel, martins, Moses all won league titles at the big 3 but they wasn’t as integral at their team as osimehn was at Napoli last season

Sir,my opinion and I said as it stand today,hope you see Osayi in my team….

Osimhen still have Yekini to beat and his Afcon performance will determine that,not even all time highest goal scorer.He is close to my all time team but Yekini still has the edge for now…

Odunayaw:
I'm glad we have an Elder in the house. Would you place the said man as a defender legend?

I don’t think thegoodjoe refers to him as legend but a England legend when talking of left full backs that have done it for English national team,rating across the world I will rate him as one of them that played the game,nothing much.

TheGoodJoe:
You don't even know Graeme Le Saux but you want to argue. Na wa.

Graeme Le Saux from Jersey a English channel island.I followed him passionately as Chelsea fan,a good left back in his days.

Well,am opportune to watch old,new and vastly new generation of footballers.Yes there are massive improvements in what we are having today which is expected but I will not use that to downgrade the past footballers.

Sir,I want this discussion to start from Nigeria using eagles as our reference point from 1980 till date and compares the set of eagles.

My all time eagles till date that will make today’s eagles line up.

1.Vincent Enyeama
2.Bright Osayi
3.Taiye Taiwo
4.Stephen Keshi
5.Uche Okechucwu
6.Muda Lawal
7.Segun Odegbami
8..Daniel Amokachie
9.Rashidi Yekini
10.Austin Okocha
11.Adokiye Aimesemeaka

TheSuperNerd:
That is not the point. The fact you putting him as a player close to the Mikel Mould yet always seem to be reserved about him screams some form of contradiction on your part.

Also, he wasn't average against Farense. Nwakali completed the most accurate passes (62) in the entire game for both teams. He was also the most fouled player in that game (was fouled 5x). Additionally he created 2 chances and recorded 20 final third pass entries with 14 recoveries. Average showing?? That is not true.



Also, vs Moreinense, he again wasn't average. He created the most chances in that game (3 created) and also won the most duels (10). He also delivered 14/18 accurate long balls with 13 progressive final third pass entries.
Average again?? Nope Kog, it is not true.

Okay

TheSuperNerd:
Hector is OBVIOUSLY not Chaves' Best player. Not even close.

You put Nwakali and Mikel in the same sentence yet you say he has been average for the two Chaves games you saw. Na wa.

Yes he was average against Fareinse and Moreinense,my opinion.Pls does putting him and Mikel in the same sentence stop him being average in matches.

Joebie:
He is average and you hope to see him in a better club next season. Na two things u talk there

Yes averaged in two matches I watched so far and how many matches to go…I repeat it I hope to see him in better team next season.We have seen poor players getting better transferred.

comodo:
Just checked the statistics of Chavez team. I think Kelz is ahead. Maybe I no see well.

Sincerely I based my judgement on how Chavez valued Hector Hernandez,not about stats.

TheSuperNerd:
Leave Kog45. He is trying as much as he can to seem neutral when it comes to Nwakali but it is clear he doesn't rate the lad. So how will he analyse right on the lad?




Below is Kelechi Nwakali in the Portuguese Primeira Liga Bwin this season so far.

Kog45, kindly point out the Chaves game where he was average.

Doctor,forget that am trying to be neutral.I rate him or not I will pick Nwakali ahead of Aribo as it stands if I have my way cuz I see him as only midfielder that can give me Mikel at least.

I said Hector is the best Chavez player cuz he is like Vardy to Leicester in Chavez.

Ramon92:
What if the investigations show Naira Marley and Sam Larry are innocent?

The koko be say Naira Marley started the death of Mohbad through intimidation and molestation using Sam Lerry to carry the act.

TheGoodJoe:
What is the contradiction? Have I ever said that Chaves players are high grade? I have always maintained that Kelechi Nwakali is the best player in the team. So can you explain contradiction in my statement?

Hector Hernandez is the best Chavez player not Kelechi Nwakali.

Joebie:
Na star for matchday too

Yes with whoscored and sofascore reports he is doing well but with his two matches I watched so far he is average,hope to see him moving again to better club next season.

comodo:
I guess I just read Rookie in Portuguese league. Meaning your definition of a Rookie means that he is right. I don't think Kel have any experience in Portuguese league 1
I don't think he said that he is a rookie footballer.

I don’t think there is need to term a professional player who has some experiences as rookie just cuz he is playing in new league.It is inappropriate.

Sir,do you see anyone using such word here to justify a player performance.Nobody call Awoniyi a rookie last season in EPL or you see anyone defending Onuachu and Aribo as rookies in EPL last season.

Marjoribanks:
Osihmen in for a long ride with this team. Overworking himself for nothing. Kane just dey walk around yet ball dey come to him in dangerous areas. Osihmen just dey hussle for nothing! He should have left!

Sir,right from U17 Osimhen always work for the team.I think we need to calm down on his mates.Despite not scoring he won MVP which showed he did very well.

Joebie:
Nwakali play today?

Nwakali play or no play na star here when it comes to talks

mostob:
No mind them bro....the same way he was missing chances in that Ghana match...

But Osimhen had a good game today

Meliforme:
In the manner Victor Boniface is regarded as a rookie in the German Bundesliga, in the same way Kelechi Nwakali is a rookie in the Portuguese league.

Context is key, but you failed to grasp it.

At your statement in bold, how am i talking down on Nigerian players doing well.
If you can't point them out, then you need to apologise.

Sir Meliforme,rookie in a real definition is someone who is new on a job without experience.

Pls let’s stop using some words to suit our analysis.I am hearing it for the first time that a professional player who has been on the job for some years and moving to a new league is a rookie.
