DrKlever:
Just because of an assist Are you watching the game? He is a chief carpenter, if he likes let him have 10 assists today

The term assist can be ambiguous it almost implies that something exceptional was done.

Collins passed the ball in his own half to his left winger. Who ran down the line beating his man then nutmegged the goal keeper straight into the net and it's a goal.

Nothing has changed in my opinion of Collins, he is still not exceptional to be diplomatic.

It seems l talked too quickly

Dortmund just scored it's 3-1

Eartquake1:
Collins with an assist as Paderborn are beating Borrussia Dortmund 3:0

This.is.not.a.drill

I thought it was a joke.

But it's true the bottom club Paderborn who have lost 9 out of 11 games so far. Have just ripped up the form book and are flogging the mighty Borrussia Dortmund.

I'm shocked.

I can't see Borrussia getting back into this game Paderborn off the bottom for the first time.

Amazing.

Eartquake1:
What did you John Fashanu opt for England for?

Shut up abeg

John opted for England because he simply was not good enough at the time and didn't think he would be able to claim position in the SE.

I apologize for loosing my temper. It really is unlike me. I respect some of your submissions. Thanks

. Appreciated

safarigirl:
na the same thing we dey talk for Iheanacho

You can't compare Kane to KC come on that's not a comparison.

Bea reasonable in addition Kane may lack pace but he's more adaptable to different styles of football. And he can finish with eyes closed both feet.

edi287:
Yep... Pace.
I don't think he can be a playmaking number 9 like Benzema is. The good thing is he and Benzema can both play together.
Have you noticed he isn't as mobile as before since his last injury?

I think he can in the world cup he dropped deep lack of pace couldn't keep up with Rashford and Raheem. So he played essentially as an AM creating chances for the faster forwards

This is where Tega Abrahams is going to give him some serious competition for that number 9 role.

Tega too has been consistently consistent over the last three seasons and is getting better. But Tega has pace. I don't know how fast he is because he's so tall and his stride so long. It's only when you see shorter player alongside him busting a gut to keep up that you realise how fast he is.

Only time will tell

darkelf:
Sorry, I used you to make a point. I have learnt my lessons:

1. You're unstable in your opinions and you use big words to cover up your lies.

2. You are so quick to defend anything English even if they aren't Nigerians or even blacks. An English man can hardly do any wrong in your eyes and you go as far as writing epistles to prove your pointless points.

This will be the first and last I will ever mention or quote you bro. You ain't worth my precious seconds. Good luck defending mediocrity.

You have used that word LIES you use it carelessly and without reference to anything.

You used me to make a point that the Hallelujah choristers on this thread use as basis to call someone a HATER.

Ask me for my opinion and l will give it.

As for the claim that you are scared is comedic tongue and cheek to you.

If l am to be truthful IMO you are one of the VERY VERY FEW on this thread that says things as they are without FEAR or FAVOUR.

I commend you for staying your course.

edi287:
Owen's case is a bit different. He had Raul, R9, and Morientes ahead of him yet Perez went and signed him. That move pissed Camacho off.
Owen still had the best goals per minute record in Madrid that season if I'm not mistaken.
Kane sef I'm looking at him with one eye... This last injury he had has taken something from him Sha... Can't put my finger on it.

Kane is an excellent striker.

However, you have to play a certain way too accommodate him. But when you do goals are guaranteed for sure, irrespective of the league.

Only thing he lacks is pace.

Koboko99:
Please remove Benni McCarthy and Steven Pienaar from the list. Those guys ain't carpenters.

However, you can add these highly skilled carpenters to the list.

Themba Zwane
Tokelo Ranti
Sibusiso Vilakazi
Reneilwe Letsholonyane (fine rasta man)
Anele Ngcongca
Matthew Booth
Oupa Manyisa
Andile Jali
Hlompho Jelena
Thabo Matlaba
George Lebese.....infact the list is too long.

I don't know the rest but Steven Pienaar l know very well and he waa a technically gifted player and a fans favourite at Everton.

Very very nice guy too.

darkelf:
In that vein, it is also a possibility that Osimhen will flop if he comes to Tottenham . That's komekn's point. In fact, that reminds me.....Osimhen hasn't scored in his last 4 consecutive ligue 1 matches. I hope the flopping hasn't started already.

Abeg, na joke I dey ooo

But seriously, Osimhen needs a long rest and its affecting his game a little. That's the reason we need a deputy for him in the SE. Unfortunately, even Onuachu is a Professor of Carpentry

Please if you have an opinion give it.

But don't use me as a reference point, now tell me where I said Osimhen will flop in the EPL. ❓ ❓

It seems you are scared to criticise the fans favourite here,

Many players have played in the week long international break. And immediately started for thier clubs, they didn't need a rest.

Why would Osimhen need a rest he is not injured.

andrewbaba44:
Lol who said osimhen will tear it up at Barca or Bayern ? Not me ,you haven’t been following my comments

Yes Kane will not flop,but hope you know Michael Owen was not the same at Madrid as he was at Liverpool ?

Anyway I said he might go and flop but your ear don stand as Na British player ,I am sure if it’s another player you won’t come here to defend him

Am sure you never expected hazard to have a slow Madrid start

You are confused and you have confused yourself. Must you comment on everything when you have nothing of substance to say.

Let me quote you verbatim

As usual he might go and flop so its better he stays there

Now below my comments to you verbatim ;

Well not neccesarily you but many here.


You completely contradict yourself and then you digress with talk of Hazard. Then to make it worse you bring in opinionated garbage about supposed support for English players.

Unfortunately this is very common here. But what's disappointing is some who claim to be educated acting like village headmasters. No attention to diction or detail.

darkelf:
Guys, please understand that pienaar and McCarthy are there because I wanted to rile up a certain someone .

I shall make the necessary adjustments anyways

Why, may l ask ❓ To what purpose substantive discussion or distracting arguments for argument sake, that's not very progressive.

maidaboi:
wizard of lies

You are derailing the thread bringing disrepute and lowering the quality of discussion.

To what purpose, l am at loss.

You give the wrong impression and new visitors will be far from impressed.

Cam you show some maturity please.

andrewbaba44:
So because these great players you mentioned no leave england mean say make kane no leave england abi?

As usual he might go and flop so its better he stays there, man u should be able to buy him away from tottenham and give him a raheem sterling salary, that should be better for him, he is still the number one man in the english team and maybe any english club he will join apart from city and liverpool

Here is a guy who has had about 4 consecutive season as top scorer in the EPL and you say he will flop.

Now when we talk about Osimhen we say he will go to Barcelona or Bayern and tear it up. Well not neccesarily you but many here. He is the best young striker in Europe, the new Drogba, etc, etc. But look at what you have said of Kane.

If someone where to say Osimhen may flop at Barcelona the daggers will come out for that person and he will be labelled HATER.

Do you see how irrational some of your comments are.

kikuyu1:
Budget being the major determinant I'd have gone for 5 or 6 rebuilt Su 25s for that price.

Kbs468:
@ Charlesemeka85, It's good to know about Mr Tunde Adelakun and the Nff,'s activities in relation to those oversea groomed Nigerian footballers

And particularly of interest is the admission that only the Players that qualifies for the areas requiring reinforcement are on to their radar rather than turning NIGERIA into a dumping ground for all comers in the name of foreign breed irrespective of quality cum excellence

It's also Vice versa.

Your unrestricted prejudice and bias betrays you.


It works both ways the SE is not a dumping ground for players in the name of unsubstantiated unproven home grown "SPECIAL TALENT"

It's not about where you were born it's about being Nigerian and the best players are selected.

Unfortunately the subject matter is very subjective and opinionated ny many here so it's almost impossible to have clarity based strictly on merit.

charlesemeka85:
Lille management have concerns about Tottenham's appointment of Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho is close to Lille management and there is talk of sports director Luis Campos moving to the Londoners to join the Portuguese.

And Le 10 Sport says Mourinho could well raid LOSC in 2020 to boost the squad he's inherited.

Victor Osimhen, Jonathan Ikoné, Mike Maignan and Boubakary Soumaré could all come under consideration at Spurs Lodge.

Mourinho was a regular at Lille last season and has spoken kindly of LOSC's players while working as a pundit

It does not matter Mourinho reputation precedes him. Daniel Levy is in charge of transfers.

He will have to use existing players and youth players on the verge of the first team.

Of course rumours will fly.

Chiba akpom isn't SE material

Nice guy but not good enough for the SE, said that donkeys ago

ChrisKels:
But u were the one who told us he has taken the league by storm with his consistent top quality performance laced with superb end product. U said he has thrived where Sadiq failed



How many more lies have u told ur gullible followers? Just do the honorable thing, apologize for the lies Bkus u getting reputed for telling nothing but lies in here

Eéeeeeee be like say you get PROBLEM.

First of all please tell me one LIE with regards to this matter.

An opinion is not a lie. Seyi Ojo has done very well. It's just that In recent games he has dropped off somewhat . Or of you like lacks some consistency.

Such are the high standards we expect of him.

You can accuse me of being very harsh but telling LIES that's a big NO NO.

If anything there is selective hypocrisy and double standard across the thread by many like you. You didn't celebrate his achievements you have been very SILENT.

His stats for a left winger are actually quite impressive. 5 goals and 5 assists from 23 games as some say here " No be beans "

Now examine what you have said.

And l ask you to tell me one winger of Nigerian origin that has comprehensively better stats than him please.

Finally, what on earth are you insinuating that Sadiq Umar was exceptional at Rangers ❓ Because that's a delusional big LIE. He was exceptionally POOR.

Back to you where are the LIES.

It seems like bull that sees red as soon as you see my name you CHARGE with reckless stupendous abandon.

I have proven you to be BLATANT SHAMELESS LIAR already. Obviously you have NO SHAME.

If not you would remain silent and be sought very wrongly to be wise.

charlesemeka85:
Former Tottenham defender Alan Hutton has criticized Liverpool-owned winger Sheyi Ojo over his inconsistent performances for Rangers.

Ojo has been involved in 10 goals (5 goals, 5 assists) from 23 appearances across all competitions since his arrival at Rangers in July.

Speaking to Football Insider on Thursday, Hutton who was on the books of the Gers between 2000-2008 enthused that the Nigerian has yet to truly show the qualities which pushed his manager Stephen Gerrard into bringing him to the club.

"One that springs to mind is Ojo. He's been very in and out, he came with big promise", Hutton was quoted as saying.

"I still believe that he's got all the ability. Obviously Gerrard hand-picked him, you know that he's got something and I do believe he's shown flashes of it.

"I think he needs to be more consistent, at teams like Rangers and Celtic you're a bit under the microscope, you can't just have the one or two good games, it needs to be seven or eight good games out of the ten.

''Maybe that's where he's finding a bit difficult. I'd like to see a little bit more, hopefully we can see more."

The 22-year-old who is spending the whole of the 2019/20 season at Rangers has only been afforded 13 first-team appearances at Liverpool since his debut.

He spent time out in loan with Wigan Athletic, Wolves, Fulham and French club Reims before moving to Rangers.

Agreed without reservation.

He needs to do more although his stats are good.

TheGoodJoe:
She should have supported the husband than running up and down with another man.

There are tradomedical people who have some mixtures to help alleviate her husband's problems. Some can even turn him into a maniac and addict from there. So you going after the man's wife worsened the situation. It was a chance for her to show her love to him but you spoilt it.

Agreed without reservation or question ❓

I'm beginning to think Ajax feed their youth players growth supplement

Years back about 6/7 years ago l was at Blackburn they were in the EPL then.

I had a boy in thier U15 he was black but from North America. At the age of 14 they had him in the gym on protein supplements if I'm right creatin. Also benching 70 kg plus.

That's what they thought was football muscle and physicality. Madness I thought.

Kbs468:
Did I express anything as being proudy in any sense?

Tell me you have never sinned before and I will believe you.

This was something that was beyond her cope and myself too. Because I initially never went on her to hit and go, instead, it was more of a Love thing after her hubby was Constraint and handicapped.

If not that I later chickened out, We would have been happily married by now.

My first reaction to the post referring to AWAZIEM before my confession says it all.

What if I had stopped there without any follow up confession, would that statement have tagged me of being proud of getting down with married women?

Don't coin a narrative that suits you best please.

All have sinned and fallen shirt of the standard not one is without sin. I am not condemning you but neither am l condoning you.

The ideal of righteousness is not up for compromise.

It's something my Father had told was an abomination and so it's something l have zero tolerance for from my self perspective. In addition my ancestral tribal affiliation has it as sacrilege.

Where another man's wife is concerned, " My body na firewood "

I know that our moral fabric has degenerated and our norms and values have been fed to dogs.

I have been described as "senior citizen"but one here, but on many occasions I have been propositioned by quite attractive married bank workers in the bank shamelessly, When in Nigeria. But it's a complete No No. ( l don't consider myself to be a Jamie Foxx or Wil Smith)

I worked in a higher institution at my Father's request in accounts department. And during verification which means you will not pass out if l don't sign that you have paid all your school fees. Can you imagine all that a teenage boy was exposed to by both married and unmarried women. But my stance remains No No. Integrity and righteousness are not up for compromise.

na football talk carry go Valencia... then the president of the club got carried away with his analysis was think he has something upstairs...

he so much admire him...then and he later decide to give him a chance only for the English dude to show his cluelesness...

they can only excel in England both as players and coach....

you see their brother Komekn he knows nothing beside English football...and he is so proud of his parochial and limited knowledge.... even use it to judge/write off other leagues he barely know about

Presumption from ignorance not knowledge.

Nonetheless, l ask where does your presumption emanate from ❓ Knowledge? in order to make that deduction you will need knowledge.

Having that in mind, can l ask ❓

How many Football managers, club scouts, and coaches of professional clubs in France, Portugal, Germany Holland and Sweden do you know and interact with ❓

Then how many clubs have you visited thier training sessions in theses countries mentioned❓

Because that would give knowledge first hand and experience.

Without doubt l have far greater experiential knowledge of football in the UK than anywhere else. But ignorant l am not of European football.

With regards to the Neville brothers my view ls are very clear. Particularly Phil Neville and his antics at Everton.

I guess Ignorance is bliss.

Kbs468:
How can he be capped right now?

1. With the Super Eagles? Will that be possible? Maybe in the future but certainly not now

2. He is 20 years old, so, He is not qualified for the next U 17 category.

3. Still not qualified for the next U 20 category too because he would have been older yet again

4. U 23? Next edition after Tokyo 2020 ? Of course not because he would have been way way over already since the present U 23 failed with the Tokyo adventure

So, which way for him? Now that we are even talking about ABUBAKAR of the U 23 to be drafted to the SE as number 3 behind UZOHO & OKOYE, How easy would it be for him?

But he could make it to the SE though with a consistent display season in season out persistently too.

Good luck to him with the SE adventure though for the Age-grade Supposed non-qualification isn't his fault definitely.

In terms of what he is doing for club and league his quality is better than Uzoho. Who had not attained those accolades before being invited.

Invitation is not selection.

Let him come to camp and let the best goalkeeper be selected, no prejudice.

Ejimadu wins USL Save of the Year Award

https://scorenigeria.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/philip-ejimadu-diving-1140.jpg


US-born Nigerian goalkeeper Philip Ejimadu has put his name in United Soccer League (USL) record books after he won the Save of the Year Award.

The Los Angeles FC goalkeeper, who played on loan at FC Tucson, beat seven other nominees to the award which was decided by votes from fans.

Ejimadu had earlier made history as the first goalkeeper to win the first-ever Save of the Month Award in USL in April with his acrobatic save against South Georgia Tormenta FC.

The 20-year-old goalkeeper garnered 52% of the total vote of 3332 against finalist Ryan Coulter of Forward Madison FC’s 42% of the votes.

Ejimadu’s Save of the Month of August was also nominated for the award.

Other nominees were Pablo Jara, South Georgia Tormenta FC, Dallas’ Jaye, Greenville Triumph SC, Kyle Zobeck, North Texas SC and Akira Fitzgerald of Richmond Kickers

The elated Ejimadu told SCORENigeria he is delighted to win the award which will motivate him more.

“I am delighted to win this award,” he declared.

“It was not easy winning it, it was a close call, but I am happy I won at the end.

“I thank all the fans who voted for me. This will motivate me to do more and get better.”

Absolutely fabulous the NFF should please get him capped because that's not an easy accolade.

Icon79:
I think it would be a mistake to compare Finidi, Jay Jay, Oliseh, Ikpeba and other Nigerian ex internationals with the likes of Gullit, Lampard, Gerrard, etc. Unlike their Euro counterpart, anytime I listen to our ex internationals analyze the game, I always reach the conclusions that playing the game doesn't necessarily make you all knowledgeable about the game. Bottom line, most of our ex internationals are empty when it comes to game analysis, match reading, and game management.

To this day, the only former players who have impressed me with their game analysis are: Segun Odegbami, Sunday Oliseh, and Samson Sia Sia. The other ones are nothing to write home about.


O pari

Gary and Phil Neville great with thier analysis but absolutely rubbish coaches.

So also is Alan Shearer.

Coaching is not oratory skills bit application of tactics and conveying ideas and improving your players.

Talk talk is cheap actions speak louder.

tbaba1234:
Amuneke is not a good senior coach. At least not yet.. He needs more experience.

Even Finidi needs experience at senior level

What experience did Frank Rijkard have before his outstanding performances with Holland.

What Experience did Gerard or Lampard have.

Please experience of what how to play politics in the NFF.
