Amedino99: this your midfield four na somehow oo. How would they work in paseiro plan, who will shield the defense.
There is something I no Dey understand again regarding eagles set up….In 90s Mutiu Adepoju and Garba Lawal do stood in for Sunday Oliseh with no issue but to get cover up for Ndidi na wahala….US 94 I saw Westerhoff preferred Siasia over Okocha.Are those formations not feasible again cuz this present eagles Dey give me headaches o
I didn't bother with clips of Eze and Olise everybody knows who they are , pure Quality. Interesting that Carney and Tim are still teenagers and bossing the Midfield like men.
The issue are these guys ready to play for Nigeria
Amedino99: yeah. I noticed he doesn't feature in games again. 3 games now he has yet to feature. Maybe the interim coach does not really fancy him. If this dude later becomes permanent coach I think he should seek either a transfer or loan to another team.
The transfer fee from Ranger was a burdened on the young man and much is expected from him.Good that he is still young but sincerely I don’t rate him.
Kogi state election would be the first test for incoming administration and I don’t see what happened in the last Kogi gubernatorial election repeating cuz Yahaya used everything to win but left for Igala and Okun to do the needful by coming together or else Kogi will continue to live in bondage of Yahaya.
Nigerians with our wahala….wife or mother,just pray to have good one…I remembered how Toto Abuga was murdered along airport road after arrived from UK and everyone believed that his mother was the culprit due to issue he had with his son over properties.It was Toto Abuga wife that stood for his husband when he was alive and after death…..mother or wife can’t be trusted when it comes to money issue o cuz they belonged to the same EVE.
Marjoribanks: Paserio did not say that! Fact. Tosin brother was the one that said he is not ready to play for Nigeria yet. Based on what Criteria is Tosin better than Akpo and Bassey? Being a better paser is even debatable, overall he is not better than Akpo/Bassey! The first job of a defender is to defend and Tosin is not that great in tackles. How can you call yourself a professional football and cannot pass the ball? Of course, some are better passer than others however why is it that when Akanji, Stones and Ake returns to their National team they suddenly lose their passing game. why? Because Mancity formation and good midfielders position themselves well to receive the ball which makes average defenders like Ake, Stones and Akanji look amazing! lol.
Oga Majori,just my opinion.I will never picked Akpogunma and Bassey over Adarabioyo and Awaziem as CB.I love ball playing defenders a lot so if you see me talking about Balogun it was purely based on his ball playing…I don’t rate Ekong and Bassey cuz I don’t really fancy theirs style of play….I would have love Akpogunma cos he does it with ball but he lacked the zeal especially with eagles…..Yes you are right on Ake,Akanji and Stones looking different as man city players in their national teams but fact remains it was their style of plays that attracted PEP.
You nailed it especially on Adarabioyo and Awaziem being the kind of ball playing CBs we need in the Super Eagles.
And ofcos respects to Omeruo.
In order for the Super Eagles defence to look a lot steadier and more in sync with the midfield, we need defenders with a mix of rugged physicality, Decent 1v1 defending and ball playing technicality Or at least, one Ball Playing CB with good 1v1 defending to complement his partner's more aggressive Physicality.
A Ball playing CB or libero-kind CB to complement a CB-aggressor.
These are key tactical and technical elements to consider especially if our 1st to 2nd buildup phases must improve.
TheGoodJoe: Very heart breaking end to such a brilliant talent. I always felt he would take up a coaching role in the near future, being the fulcrum of Coach Monday Sinclair's possessive plays.
Sad we did not get to enjoy him in the Super Eagles colors but the view that saw his displays as a creative midfielder knew he was a gifted maestro of the round leather game.
I pray God grants his family the strength and fortitude to bear this loss.
Goodby star midfielder Emmanuel "the waistbreaker" Ebiede.
Your performance in the scrimmage game at Shell RA, against some of the star Super Eagles player will always be on my mind.
Sorry TheGoodJoe and on behalf of this forum pls send our condolences…..RIP Ebiede Emma
komekn: You are absolutely correct 6 years ago I didn't rate Adarabioyo as well as Fikayo .
Adarabioyo was a Langley skinny player just tall with no physicality at the time, he was a teenager. Then he matured in body , ( come get muscle) it was the day I saw him bully Dominic Iorfa for a header on loan playing for Blackburn. Then I could see that ,"Small boy don turn man"
I watched Aina and Fikayo play for Hull against Burton Albion up close and personal. Hope Akpan was playing for Burton.
Aina was outstanding as usual and Fikayo was lost.
Fast forward he goes to Derby as a CB has an outstanding season and was the best CB in the Championship the rest is history. Once I had seen his improvement I started calling for him to be called to the SE well before he got recognised by England.
Footballers are not static done progress as the develop and get a lot better. Then some keep going backwards with never ending diminishing returns like Awaziem .
The problem with Awaziem is he is good technically not exceptional , but he is also just too dam slow. That's why he is in Croatia.
Yes I remembered I had conversations with you on why you didn’t rate Adarabioyo and Fikayo then but rated Aina Ola…As you said they are teens then but now more matured,honestly surprised seeing poor Fikayo Tomori of Hull city doing wonderful well now
komekn: Let me quote you verbatim, "being benched by a Diop that is worst than Awaziem".
You made a comprehensiveness FALSE statement.
Your said expressly that Diop is is no where as good as Awaziem and implied that Tosin is not as good as Diop. Both assertions are totally false as you anchor ⚓ them on the fallacy that Tosin is being benched by Diop.
I saw similarities in Adarabioyo and Awaziem games.The two make it cool and to some coaches they are soft but coaches that have Guardiola or Arteta mentalities would love to have them in their squads….Diop to me put more energy into his games and based on that Fulham coach preferred him ahead of Tosin….well based on pedigree of where they are now Awaziem is odd amongst the trios……but Sir I remembered you don’t rate Adarabioyo some years back though was young then playing for man city.
Marjoribanks: What makes him technically better than Akpoguma, Omeruo and Bassey?. He is being benched by an average DIOP. Guy rest!
My man,yes Peseiro doesn’t rate him according to OWNGOAL with no real source but I want to say as CB Adarabioyo is better than Akpogunma and Bassey.I will only give it to Omeruo based on his experience with eagles…How I wish we have options in ball playing defenders like Adarabioyo and Awaziem in our team cuz there would be real link from defense to midfield instead of gbas gbos of Ekong…just check out man city team,Ake,Akanji and Stones,these guys does it easily.
If I talk wetin dey my mind .. e go be like say e get why?
Na phone he steal .. Dey kill am
Tribalism wey Dey OAU …pass hitler hatred for Jews ..
But e Dey coded .. even among lecturers .. talk more now wey them dey at their peak like Mc Olumo ..
I know OAU.. na my alma mater.. .. we run things there and I know wetin I type .
That boy no for die .. if him name no be chizoputra..
I hates criminals .. and am not supporting his presume act..
But every student of OAU .. know this fact.
Even among the lecturers and prof.. and management
Rip son
Wetin Dey your head than tribalism…yes very barbaric and anyone responsible for the death of the young man should be dealt with mercilessly but Oga a phone theft was killed and burnt recently in calabar,pls wetin you go call dat one?tribalism abi what….pls everything should not be center on tribalism.
LagosFirstSon: Miss. Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the daughter of Alhaji Kafaru Tinubu who is the elder brother to Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji (Emilokan adopted mother in Lagos). The young lady died and Emilokan was smuggled in and he began impersonating her.
Civil war,Ojukwu ran away and came back, funny enough contested for Nigeria president,meaning he doesn't know what he was doing and total betrayal on good Igbos that lost their lives during the civil war.Respect to Chinua Achebe but he ran away too... but Soyinka was jailed for supporting Biafra and today Soyinka is in mud for expressing his views.. I don't think Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa will disrespect Soyinka this much cus facts are there on what Soyinka did during civil war.
Eniitankorede: Shut up!!! The election shows that Obi rigged his own election in Southeast and left the rest for boys under him to suffer. He rigged presidential election in southeast. But didn’t border to rig the rest. That’s why he will lose at the tribunal. The evidence is there. LP is the only party that did fantastically well in presidential election but failed woefully in others. It shows that massive rigging occurred or there are no political structures that will help those under him, or both.
Thank you..I just don’t know how some guys reason.Imagine SE are not tribal cos APC has six senators as if those senators are not from SE….this country ehn..how I wish we can have Igbo as Ogun state governor,Yoruba as Sokoto governor and Hausa as Enugu governor.
shortgun: Same south east they said APC supporters were being killed during the last election. The truth is now coming out, everyone can now see the lies and propaganda of APC supporters.
This have shown to the world that the people of the south east are detribalised and true believers in democratic processes that is free, fair and devoid of any form intimidation.
Oga make we just stop this tribal issue…the senatorial contestants in SE are from which tribe?If you want to base last elections on tribal analysis then SE would come first based on block votes LP party got during presidential election,followed by SW which gave APC 4 states out of 6 states…kudos to North west,North east and North central for playing real politics
Blueelf: My prayer is that NFF gets a world class pitch that'll be used solely for SE matches and nothing else
So that all this complain about pitches will stop and we'll see those players that are just mediocre
Thank you.Enough of these excuses of pitches…our eyes go soon clear again if we failed to make it to WC…Koko be say Peseiro must up his games…..even if pitch Dey hang their legs no be Guinea Bissau…I can name South America or Europea national teams that would beat us in that bad pitches we are talking about.
TheSuperNerd: Mikel never uttered the words "technically very poor".
He said, "...Is he VERY technically good? Well, not as much...but he will get you goals for sure."
Mikel was only speaking on his level of technicality. He is emphasizing that Osimhen isn't high level technically but is decent enough. Finito.
Even Haaland is as NOT technically high-level but he will always score.
Wetin technical Dey do for goal scoring self….Yekini was very poor technically and not even finest in his games but always delivering…Osimehn is a fighter who take ball to defenders.He is not a dodger but real man when it comes to the game.
Pinkybae: Ethnic bigots like you are actively killing Nigeria. I am not blaming politicians. I am blaming selfish and gullible Nigerians beholding to their oppressors. What happened in Lagos isn't election?
You wicked souls are endorsing the pains of these Nigerians on the polls clearly shown on the thumbnail.
How much of their loots do they share with you.
Is N5000 worth burning 🔥 down the country?
Y'all will go down in this flame 🔥 you're generating in the country.
Oga just forget Lagos o..Yes liberals people voted for Obi in Lagos but GRV no way.Haba only a fool would pick GRV over Sanwo Olu,pls on what ground for God sake.
Chinjo2: Moghalu don score own goal. At the appropriate time, we shall revisit this tweet.
Oga just forget, Moghalu can become Obasanjo of 1999 that lost SW and still became President.... Tinubu four years would be based on his KPI. If he failed pls give me Moghalu and see Nigerians voting for him. The man represent real Nigeria not all these ethnic religion politicians that keep on running to fake bishops and real bishop.
Misterc: In as much as he's one of our Most Respected Nobel Laureate..... I must say Professor Wole Soyinka is just all words and no actions.... If you're supporting Obi just say it... If you're supporting Tinubu just says it straight up... Rather than these sitting on the fence and all words...
If Ojukwu is alive he would have slapped you for saying Soyinka is a words man no action.
