Does Fiyako Tomori play right back?

tbaba1234:
“We are looking at Efe Ambrose, Maduka Okoye, Felix Uduokhai & a host of other players with a view to seeing them in the colours of Nigeria. If they perform better than those we already have, they have a chance of being included in the final (AFCON) preparations."

It is normal for a team that is down to increase their push for a goal while the leading team goes more conservative to maintain their score line. U don't expect the Egyptians to bow out without a fight.

tbaba1234:
Very few chances in this game. Basically the battle of the defences.

Onuachu, man of the match..

Balogun deserves accolades.

Earthquake2:
Shehu is over working Onyekuru

We seriously need another RB

Icon79:
Folks, seriously, despite the horrible pitch, this is one of the most cohesive Super Eagles team play that I have watched since Gernot Rohr became coach. They still need to learn how to move the ball quicker tho. This slow build up ain't it o, jare!

Iwobi's looking good. I wouldn't be surprised if he scores.

TheGoodJoe:
No need insulting Ighalo to make your point. He is a national hero and a devoted philanthropist.

tbaba1234:
We have many players in this team playing competitive senior football

Earthquake2:
If he performs excellently like he did today what's your problem with him?

safarigirl:
I wouldn't call him a flop, but I do agree he has performed far below expectations.

Considering all the hype, pomp and pageantry with which he came into the EPL, he should be doing so much better, however, it may be too early to call him a flop.

tbaba1234:
Sometimes, it takes players a season to settle. I eon't rush to sell him

andrew444:
Naby Keita is not a flop o

Media don start just because say no b British player

Arsenal are ready to dip into the lower leagues for a new addition.

The Mirror says the Gunners have entered the hunt for Charlton starlet Joe Aribo.

The Gunners have had Addicks academy product Aribo, 22, watched a number of times this season.

And they have seen enough to add him to the list of players on their radar for this summer.

Composed, tall, left-footed midfielder Aribo has been Charlton's standout player this term, helping him catch Arsenal's eye.

He has made 28 appearances and chipped in with six goals for the League One promotion chasers.

Aribo is out of contract at the end of the season which will only increase his appeal as he will be available to the Gunners for a small compensation fee because of his age.

We all know your usual words: " You are filled with Negative prejudice and emotive biase".

That was what I am referring to.

Icon4s:
Bros abeg, no vex. Why is it that the only thing you discuss here is this foreign born players issue.

I know you may call me names now for asking this question but I just have to.

ChrisKels:
Can u for once disappoint us by failing to be an ass, as usual? U read everything he said, the betrayal, the deception, the insults, all the inhumane treatments meted on him, and all could offer was that crap? U smell badly, for real, u do.

Sadiq Slams Gerrard Over Poor Treatment During Loan Spell With Rangers



Adeboye Amosu

Complete Sports




Umar Sadiq has sensationally claimed Rangers still owe him money from his time on loan at the club.

The Ibrox loan flop had his season long loan spell cut short in December and isn’t impressed by how he was treated by the club.

And Sadiq has also revealed he was fined £20,000 by the club over a social media post during his time in Glasgow.

The Nigerian is currently out on loan at Perugia in Serie B after returning to parent club Roma.

It was a nightmare six months for him in Glasgow as he joined the club but played just five times and making one start.

That came in the 1-0 defeat to Aberdeen in the Betfred Cup semi-final and Steven Gerrard had earlier criticised the big forward for his performances in training and insisted he wasn’t capable of starting for the club.

He was forced to play him with Kyle Lafferty cup-tied and Alfredo Morelos suspended and was slammed by fans after the game.

But Sadiq insists Rangers withheld money due to him in December despite his loan spell ending early in the month.

“All of a sudden, I was told that I could not use the first-team dressing room any more. Instead, I had to go change with the kids. Then after a few days I was also forbidden to park my car inside the training centre,”he told the Sunday Post.

“I felt humiliated and kept asking what was the reason for the change of attitude but I never received any answers.

“Gerrard wouldn’t give any explanation about it, neither to me nor my representatives. I believe absolutely that I was not given a fair chance to show what I can do. They made me feel like a stranger. I started only once and that was when there were no other strikers available.

“For me everything went wrong after they brought in another striker. Once I put a ‘like’ on Instagram to a post from a fan and I was fined £20,000 which was absurd. And Rangers didn’t even pay me up everything I was due. They still have to give me my salary for December.”

But while the 22-year-old isn’t overly happy with Gerrard, and admitted he doesn’t care how the club do on the pitch, he revealed there is one player he will keep an eye out for in the future.

He added: “I honestly don’t care how they do. As long as I was a Rangers player, I behaved like a professional, giving everything I could of myself to the shirt but now I don’t want to hear about them and what they are doing anymore.

“In my opinion, they behaved in a disrespectful way to me, both as a player and as a person. When it ended, Steven Gerrard didn’t even have the courage to talk to me and tell me what was happening face-to-face.

“One man I do wish all the cluck and success to in the future is Alfredo Morelos. He was my fellow striker, and I felt good with him during the time I was in Scotland. I would say that he is a very good player and an exceptional guy. He will be one of the few that I will follow with affection.”

When you play for Tottenham, you don't need to dribble you just need to tap in from Eriksen's through pass

When you play for Crystal Palace you have to create your chances and take them

Know the difference between the two

BascoVanVeli:
That's bear parlor talk. Shouldn't even get brought up in a serious conversation.

edi287:
Lool Louis Van Gaal. He wanted Mane when he was at Southampton.

gamaliel9:
u23 matches tomorrow

Angola vs South Africa
Niger vs Ivory Coast
Ghana vs Gabon

edi287:
Yeah I heard that too but LVG didn't deem it necessary to keep him. The fact that LVG pushed so hard for Mane when he was around says it all.

edi287:
Zaha played for Manure and couldn't break into their first team.

edi287:
I haven't seen Zaha do anything that Sane can't do. The only top 5 club Zaha gets into is Arsenal.

Icon79:
Haha!! The highlighted actually made me laugh out loud

Coming to what you said, I think you're using their "football age". If you wanna talk about their real age, except for perhaps Mikel, none of those dudes is anything less than 34 years. To me, 34 is the retirement age in football.

TheGoodJoe:
An unproven Julius Aghahowa saved the Super Eagles at the AFCON against the Senegalese. Calling potential stars as you say is not novel.

chrisooblog:
on your last paragraph i agree that osimhen and chukwueze have to continue to improve and gain consistency. talking about the seasons they have had so far i think both young men can be very satisfied. even if their respective leagues should end today they would have performed far more creditibly than there peers eg. dominic solanke ; D. musa, mikel got call ups to the national team as unproven talents so that approach of calling potential star performers is not exactly novel.

with the super eagles yes only the absolute best consistent players should be invited but in instances where you have rare special players the selection criteria has to be relaxed in their favour.

edi287:
That's the point - he wouldn't start over Sane. He's not as well rounded as Sane is.
