aribo and ojo's rating against hearts


Joe Aribo – 7/10

Looked full of confidence and showed good composure on the ball in midfield, without making a telling contribution. Continues to look a great buy.


Sheyi Ojo – 4/10

Entirely ineffective, failing to cause his full-back problems. Looked to get behind on occasion but flattered to deceive and often ground promising attacks to a halt. Subbed for Kent after an hour. Hard to see how he can continue to justify a starting berth with Kent back fit.

First bad day at the office for him this season albeit Rangers as a whole did not have a good game.

Possibly overwhelmed by the sheer brute strength, tenacity and relentless striving by Ikpeazu.

I remember when he was on Fire at 18 he waited for a call to the Nigerian U20 but nothing happened.

Eartquake1:
Yea I saw his picture he was huge

As an 18 year old he was so HOT he scored three hat tricks one against Arsenal and two against Chelsea.

He was at that time like a serial killer his legs were like tree trunks then.

andrew444:
Apart from you being realistic here about padeborn being a relegation candidate

Anytime you hear jamilu collins your head go stand

You should not make sentiment based presumptions based on your own self birthed notions.

What is pertinent are my comments indisputably FACTUAL ❓ That's what you should concentrate on not your sentiments.

Eartquake1:
Aribo and Sheyi Ojo started for Rangers as they drew 1-1 to Hearts

Uche Ikpeazu got the MOTM award dude is not the best technically but he is a man mountain that looks like could beat AJ in a boxing match.

I remember him when he was 18 playing for Reading fc U18. He was so big then it was like a man playing with small boys.

Eartquake1:
Jamilu Collins not on matchday squad for Paderborn

Paderborn seem like they are heading for a relegation

That's been pretty much obvious from day one of the season.

8 games played 1 draw and 7 losses is very very poor.

Couldn't help but notice Hearts vs Rangers with three Nigeria origin players on the pitch.

Once the top rated teenager in English football Ikpeazu is playing for Hearts.

MetalJigsaw:
I think Rohr is deliberately ignoring him because that guy could send disappointing Iwobi to the bench. I strongly believe Rohr doesn't want that to happen.

You may remember a certain Alaba that plays for Bayern Munich. He wanted to play for Nigeria but was asked for Bribe before invitation and he then walked back to Germany.

I don't know if it's true, but what is incontrovertible to me is there is something. AMISS.

Icon4s:
I don't know why he will always switch off when he gets into dangerous positions.

Today Iwobi had a very good game today in my opinion almost everything good in this match came from him.

If he doesn't get the MOTM it will be a disappointment.

Critically speaking he needs to be more consistent and garnish his performances with the occasional goal.

jihday:
the whole Everton team have been rubbish tho so why make it look like Iwobi is the source of their bad form

Everton right now are in a very precarious position.

If they don't win today then I think Marco will be shown the door.

A number of things have gone wrong not least in recruitment. They are very weak in the Striking department as well.

This is not about the Iwobi but Everton as a whole.

I'll be watching this game live.

Humility017:
even after apologizing to you for my misconceptions... you still decide to drag the matter and insult me...

to be honest what else do you know besides British football and government? ??

Lol

it's like you've been to everywhere in this world. ...

you must be a traveller.....

My Father was an academic at UNN and he insisted that l do nor think highly of myself. And get to know the palm wine tappers and most people that many would turn thier noses up against.

That's why l speak Igbo too a good degree.

safarigirl:
very rude something.

The way e dey always talk, you will think he's the only international man on this thread.

No vex abeg, we cannot change people on the internet. Make everybody just dey manage everybody.

I can not adjudicate on how you think.

Beyond "As a man thinketh so he is" perception is self birthed it's not established, it is more of a reflection of one self than anything else.

Rude in my understanding would be outright abusive, insulting and with vitriolic rhetoric.

I may use sarcastic tongue and cheek language as well reprimand strongly. But insultingly rude l doubt that.

I challenge you to find one post where l have been vehemently abusive and or used vitriolic rhetoric.

Now go and look at yourself in the mirror carefully and do some self analysis and ask who is one of the most RUDE persons on this thread.

Now that you have looked, sit down have cool Apple & Mango juice drink and REPENT, because you have just seen the person YOU.

First remove the big FIRE WOOD we deh your eye before you remove the small sand sand for my own.

You can make me laff no be small tin.

Triniti:
Don’t mind that fella, he thinks so highly of himself, with over pompous British arrogance. Dude probably thinks he’s talking to a bunch of local palm wine tappers, that has never seen an airport before

"As a man thinketh so he is"

I have palm wine tapper friends that l hang out with when l am in Delta, and l am able to harvest quite some wisdom from a lot of them.

So please do not denigrate palm wine tappers.

There was one that l knew at Nsukka as well he was my first Palm wine tapper friend. He probably taught me more Igbo than anyone else.

andrew444:
Slimani is not an epl flop, he was never starting ahead of vardy

If i could remember he was their top scorer in the champions league

Only first grade strikers can bench vardy at leicester, but no first grade striker will play for club like leicester

Example of first grade striker, Aguero, Suarez, cavani

40 game's in the EPL and if I'm right 8/9 goals. Is that not poor for a striker make a comparison between his stats in Portugal and its woeful and if woeful he has FLOPPED.

Quarrel no deh.

Odunayaw:
And the North Africans with tasty leagues are corruption free?

There is no league l have had involvement with in Europe that is not corrupt, it is a question of degree.

kellycute:
we know exactly what u just did bro.... Your comment is so full of prejudices and u don't even know how to hide your hatred for Osimhen. You are indirectly playing down Osimhen achievement of winning the lique1 player of the month of September using the nonsense rhetoric of French league being less competitive. You underpined your proposition citing how slimani flop in the epl but now flying high in the French league. Osimhen light is brighter than your hate. Instead of you to congratulate Osimhen for his achievement but u are busy mastubating on your nonsense proposition. Do me a favor bro,,... Gerrahere for real..

Let's go back to basics, what is prejudice❓ an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason.

I raised a cogent and relevant observation about the ascendancy from football obscurity of Islam Slimani. Who Osimhen just beat to get player of the month.

Slimani is a Leicester city player just like KC and thier situations are very similar. Both have been very poor over the past three seasons in the EPL

In that context to then deduce that if KC were to move to the French league one he may have a change of fortune. That makes perfect common sense.

You are guilty of being bigoted with double standard and blindly prejudiced with negative bias and presumption. Not me.

On this thread we practice EXCLUSION and not INCLUSION you would think there are only 2/3 Nigerian players doing well.

There is no need for me to join and add to the commendations given to Osimhen when the whole thread is overwhelmingly singing his praises continously. It's just repetition of fact, it's boring to me.

So because I don't join the Aladura hallelujah choir to sing the praises of Osimhen l HATE him.

Look at how you think and make deductions and maybe you describe yourself as a progressive Nigerian youth.

So when l say you are prejudiced and bigoted l say it objectively not emotively.

NUFF SAID.

Koboko99:
A Nigerian player won the French league player of the month, instead of congratuting him you talked about someone who didn't win and his failed career in England and turkey, then you ended up dragging Kelechi into it. Bros you no dey tire?

You better not qoute me with that your Winston Churchill dictionary.

Its your choice to commend him that's your prerogative.

The topic l have raised is completely different from the one you have.

Maybe because your view is narrow and parochial it completely bypassed you that Slimani got a considerable number of votes.

The same Slimani that essentially failed in the EPL. There is relevant comparison between KC and Slimani. They are both Leicester city forward players and both have been firing blanks for three seasons.

Slimani goes to league one and his almost dead career is Resurrected. The implication is that all hope is not lost for KC, maybe he should find his way to the French league one.

But of course you had to misconstrue my comments.

BascoVanVeli:
So because I have knowledge of the local league I have never left my village abi?

Your comment was bullsh*t and made you seem pompous.

I spent more than half my life in the states but that is not a claim to fame so I won't write it on my head.

You talk about getting denied opportunity but what about being railroaded by justice systems when Caucasians get a slap on the wrist

No be quarrel.

Nobody said you have not left your village or anything remotely similar.

You hardly ever talk about the states you hardly ever make comparative deductions with the USA.

Travelling back and forth and spending half your life in a country are two completely different things.

For the time l spent in Miami l was already picking up Spanish just by engagement and interaction.

Victor Osimhen floors Slimani to win French Ligue 1 player award

By Stephen Adigwu on October 17, 2019


Nigeria international and goal-scoring sensation Victor Osimhen has emerged the French Ligue 1 player for the month of September after a fine start into the new season with Lille.

Osimhen got 45% of the votes cast to floor Monaco’s Islam Slimani (37%) and Nantes’ Nicolas Pallois (18%)

While Slimani has scored four goals in six appearances for Monaco, Pallois, a defender with Nantes, played a
key role in the club’s surge to the second position in the table.

Meanwhile, the French Ligue 1 side has expressed their gratitude to those who voted for the Super Eagles forward.

“His outstanding form and your votes combined to make @victorosimhen9 the @Ligue1_ENG Player of the Month for September. Take a bow everyone !,” tweeted Lille.

Osimhen on his part took to Twitter to thank fans for the award.

“Player of the month of September��major thanks to those who voted for me,I appreciate each and every one you, special gratitude goes to my family, teammates and my loved ones��GOD is the greatest ��we move✊�
@losclive,” he said.

Osimhen is also the fourth-highest goalscorer in the top five European Leagues, behind Bayern Munich’s Lewandowski (11 goals), Manchester City’s Aguero and Chelsea’s Abraham (both with 8 goals).

The Nigerian is expected back for the Eagles to face the Squirrels of Benin Republic in a 2021 AFCON qualifier.

Maybe KC should find way to go to French league one.

Considering that Slimani completely flopped comparative to his high scoring times in the Portuguese league. 40 game's in the EPL and 9 goals is nothing to be proud about for a striker.

Although his record is better than KC there is still hope if he can find a less competitive league. He may just resurrect his career. One should note that Slimani also flopped in the Turkish league on loan.

Somehow this forgotten Slimani is now flying high in the French league.

the only thing komekn knows is British football....
I just don't wanna reply him... who does not know that oshimen is from Edo state...

You didn't look before you leap, just exposed your unbridled prejudice and bias.

We were talking about Victor Ikpeba a confirmed Sapele guy, Uhrobo from Delta state.

See how hatred make you disgrace yourself for PUBLIC.

wayodude:
Osimhen is an Esan name confirmed

Victor Ikpeba we talk oh not Osimhen.

I stayed down south in Georgia and I had countless occasions I can draw from. For example being called the N word by passing rednecks after Obama's first presidential win. To blatantly not being served at a bar because I was with a group of African American dudes. I can go back to high school and to pull out even more occasions sef.

I thought you lived in Nigeria considering the depth of knowledge you have of the local football scene.

IMO getting called names is for me superficial racism and just the tip of the iceberg.

I mean it's not acceptable still very painful. In my primary school me and my older brother were the only black kids in the school. We faced multifaceted racism on all fronts from teachers and pupils.

At a stage l became a panel beater realigning the heads of any oyibo boy that dared to confront me.

Institutional racism doesn't make noise or call you names. It simply EXCLUDES you and DENIRS you OPPORTUNITY until you get so fed up you may decide to return home. And in that context the racists have won. This is core RACISM that denigrates black people to the back of the que. Particularly when the measurements of competence are subjective.

Koboko99:
Victor Ikpeba, Edo man, Prince of Monaco.
Victor Osimhen, Edo man, Pri.....that's how stars do

Victor na Sapele guy oh

safarigirl:
A few days ago, I was on a site, and there was this news about a lady that looked black enough to me, but all the comments, from the predominantly Black American site, kept repeating that she wasn't black.

In complexion, she looked black enough to me, albeit of a different ethnicity. So, I asked one of them, what it meant to be 'black' and who decided it, and after explaining to me, their perception, I got some form of clarity.


Now, for the purpose of clarity NEXT time, so that the likes of Komekn, don't call me ignorant.

Whenever I use the term 'black' on this thread, it is in reference to the Americans. If I wish to speak of those in Africa, I use Africans, and when I speak of those in the Queen's country, I use 'borough'

Someone who lives in the UK, cannot speak about race with the same authority as the Americans. In the UK, apparently, they don't have the same definitions of racial relations, as in the USA. I LEARNT of this last year, and I will not be called ignorant by anyone, just because they happen to be born abroad, or they think the rest of us do not have access to the internet and cannot do our own research.


For the purpose of next time, please.

Apologies for calling you ignorant.

By the way l worked in Florida USA for a period and have a first hand experience of the socio economic and racial dynamics of Florida in particular and the USA in general.

Add to that l have a lot of friends predominantly US military from my times in Germany and in the UK.

I could say a lot more my sister married a Black American and still lives in California USA. but it's not important.

So your assumptions are wrong.

BascoVanVeli:
What is all this nonsense you are talking about? I have no idea of discrimination that I have actually faced in real life? You think I was reading a story book. This is something I have experienced myself.

Context is RACIAL DISCRIMINATION

Where and when did you face racial discrimination❓

safarigirl:
my friend, if you watch Onuachu's youtube clips, you'll be convinced he's better than CR7

Every football fan knows that youtube clips are fraudulent in nature and only show you the juicy parts, you cannot judge any player based on them. I bet even Mustafi would have a pretty dope youtube clip, doesn't make him a decent defender.

When you want to argue a player's quality, use live matches please, not Youtube

If you want to assess video footage. Then it should be footage of an individual match not a compilation of matches fused together into one 5-7 minutes clip.

If you can get 5-7 minutes of an individual match of a player gives you a good indication of the players quality. Better still 4/5 minimum 5 minutes clips of individual matches.

For a player to be on the ball for 5-7 minutes in 90± minutes match with 22 players on the pitch says he is doing something outstanding.

kellycute:
Naija men wey nor fit influence his son make he play for us na mumu. How I go born pikin and he go tell me say he nor go play for super eagles? E nor fit happens. He go choose playing for Naija or I go disown am sharp sharp. It is very important to raise your kids with the mentality of "you are first a Nigerian and that is all that matter".

It's pretty obvious that you haven't lived in the West.

safarigirl:
Do you know the most important thing in communication?

It is not stringing fancy words together, contrary to what you do here. It is PASSING a message. If you cannot pass a message, you have failed in communication

This thing you wrote, I don't understand a word of it, aside the usual "you're ignorant" talk. You have not enlightened me, because you focused on all the technical, big words that make you appear a sage.

My man, speak in simple English please.

And please, unless you live in America, I doubt you would be in a good place to further enlighten me on this sef, because when I say 'black people' I mean the ones in America.

You response should be apologetic and muted but instead you are hostile and loudly contentious. Consider what you have said that. "Black people" l mean the ones in America , you didn't say that in the beginning, nonetheless it's still crass ignorance.

You are being ambiguous and far from clear and you are guilty of your own allegation. Can l ask therefore, which America are you referring too ? South, Central North l really don't know .

There are huge disparities across the entire Americas and the least of those is not language.

It seems you have failed to present a clear and precise MESSAGE, you are indicted by your own unit of measurement.

This is truly comedy, thanks for giving me light hearted moment. Please do have a wonderful day.

charlesemeka85:
Erdal Torunogullari, who is Besiktas presidential candidate's close ally, has promised to sign Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho if Ahmet Nur Cebi is elected.

According to Fotospor, Iheanacho has been sounded out about joining the Istanbul club following talks between Torunogullari and the striker's representative.

It is claimed that the Nigeria international could be joining Besiktas on an initial 18-month loan deal if negotiations are successful.

His first team opportunities have been limited under managers Craig Shakespeare, Claude Puel and Brendan Rodgers, with only 16 starts in the Premier League from a possible 84 since his transfer from Manchester City in August 2017.

Iheanacho is struggling to gain playing time due to the presence of Jamie Vardy and Ayoze Perez, and a move away from the King Power Stadium when the transfer window reopens would be the sensible thing to do.

The 23-year-old's only appearance for the Foxes this season came against Luton Town in the third round of the League Cup.

Not too long ago, l said KC will struggle to get a good Championship side.

There was hell fire and brimstone sent my way and the usual tag HATER.

The top strikers from the Championship are among the top strikers in the EPL, currently that should tell you about the quality.

I was being generous by saying he should go to the Bundesliga. l knew that Leicester will have to take a big loss in terms of transfer fees. Nobody will pay £25 million for him now even half will be struggle.

But to go to Turkey hmmmmm get as he be.

A month ago after a few goals in pre season we were greeted with KC is BACK, what will delusional ones say now. ❓

OMANBALA1:
Ignorant black people do that like the hood ones. And , you are right the whites make this subtle condescending comments like "your child is the most intelligent black kid I know". The white are very insulting but it's easy to burst them.
Meanwhile, black people hate each other like no other. The whites, however, do not hate black as much a the hispanics hate blacks....hispanics hate black people more then they (the black) realize.

Nonsensical proposition with no substance whatsoever, birthed from indepth ignorance and lack of knowledge.

safarigirl:
Black people call full blacks that speak properly 'white' just because they speak properly, how much more the mixed ones, the same black people have the most derogatory names for Africans. They mock openly

The white mockery is not so open, theirs is more of a condescending brand

You absolutely have no idea what you are talking about.

First of all the dynamics and diction of racial discrimination derogatory or not have considerable spatial divergences.

Then add cultural dynamics historical underpinnings and you simply cannot generalise wholescale.

It's highly ignorant if the truth must be told.

BascoVanVeli:
That's true but that is always the case with mixed kids. Though I feel the black side will mock more out of jest but it can be tough. Imagine considering yourself as black and being given the name"white boy" in the same community. That may sound harsh but even darker people get name called also "black", "oil spill", etc.

You are being way too general and add to that cry presumptious as well.

I am sorry you have NO IDEA what you are talking about.

Keep to Nigeria local football not the dynamics and diction of racial discrimination in Europe and or the Americas.
