This does not explain the fact that in abroad, they have world class facilities and advanced in technologies to help you be the best you want to be.
Against those whom some of them started from red sand and ajegunle, yet they excelled among the best from Spain, England ,Italy, France and Germany.

Napoleon55:
So is with the foreign scientists and doctors.

You want to compare people who started playing almost from kindergarten to those who started from the streets, be my guest.

I advise you move on from Ejuke..
Ejuke already peaked several years ago
He truly can't do more than he's doing now..
And I personally feel Chelle has been magnanimous to still have him around the SE setup..

zicky:
Ejuke will be one corner laughing at you 😂 😂

Kog45:
Ejuke in Iwobi role,I will rather play Kelechi Nwakali

Kog45:
Sir you're absolutely right

Don't worry, if you know you know. @Papi, una understand abi?

Raphael Onyedika's performance yesterday reiterated my analysis of his utility on the field of play.
Raphael Onyedika will produce more value playing as a central midfielder and even as an attacking midfielder than he would as a defensive midfielder.
Stankovic and Onyedika played a double pivot in midfield with Onyedika drifting into the more offensive areas and Stankovic trailing behind to provide cover.

Raphael Onyedika's three shots were all on target.
Raphael Onyedika possesses an excellent passing ability. His five long balls were all accurate, he created two chances, provided a switch of play that was essential to one the goals, assisted a goal, scored a goal etc.
His shooting and passing ability will provide a good advantage if he is closer to the goalpost where wingers and center forwards will benefit from his excellent passes of the ball and where he will be closer to taking his shots at goal

A player of his abilities shouldn't be wasted plying a much deeper role.

AndSunGorilla:
All brawn no brain.

Papi85:
you are 💯 right. To me he is not a bad player but not up to the level he is been hyped here by nerdy in particular

Meliforme:
I joined 34 minutes into the watch and throughout my viewing of the match, Raphael Onyedika did not impress me.
What exactly does Raphael Onyedika's contribute to our midfield.

When it comes to accuracy in the long and short passes of the ball, Raphael Onyedika is second to none, but what does he even do with those.
I have not seen any significant forward passes of the ball.
I am yet to see any significant forward carries of the ball.
He doesn't open up that much to help build and progress play from the back due to his positioning (is he running away from something, I can't just tell)
I have not seen him control or swith play despite his ability to deliver long balls.

Let's be real, Raphael Onyedika owns the skills to perform all the aforementioned acts, but what exactly is his problem?
Anyone close to Raphael Onyedika should please wake him up with a slap. He should reward his coach's confidence in him.

TheSuperNerd:
What did Iwobi and Ndidi do yesterday different from what the Onyedika and Onyeka duo showed in the first half?
Answer that and you will be taken more seriously because it is clear that their introduction even saw the Jordanians up their game. As if they got even bolder. So pray tell, answer the question and dump this your lazy analysis of always poking at Onyedika who was key to our plays in the first half that produced 3 goals.

Lastly, Funny how you can easily discern Frank onyeka's role yet cannot discern why Ejuke keeps up with his school boy football. Yet according to your "tactical eyes", he is our best winger. I cannot trust such eyes please.
Frank was one of our better players yesterday yet he gave the ball away more times than a pro should which makes my point on his limited technicality which I always harped for years.

TheSuperNerd:
You just sat down and typed a load of bollocks. All these Onyedika misyarns is so forced and screams pseudoanalysis.

Kindly also comment and elucidate "truthfully" on what the midfield of Iwobi and Ndidi contributed after they came in up until that reckless red card as well. What did they bring to the Jordan game that was different? Pray tell? Coz Jordan even got bolder with that change and we did not threaten as much as we did in the first half.

While at it, also kindly explain why Your beloved Tactically best winger, Chidera Ejuke was not effective in today's game. Oh I forgot, he was rotting on the bench as usual.
Anyone in need of a slap na Ejuke and perhaps you, for being so biasedly blind to see the light.

FiveFootNinja:
Once Jamaica hold ball, there's no logic to their next move. It's just to hoof the ball up to the DR Congo keeper.

Abeg I don laugh tire tonight, make I go sleep. 🤣🤣

Cecco90:
I am still worried that we don't have an alternative for Iwobi in the middle.

Sugarboyy:
With all his skills, Ejuke doesn't seem to add anything meaningful to the SE

lbrichman2:
Unfortunately he can't argue with the truth
Na only English hom go speak, at the end of the day, we all know the truth

I'm almost certain Sevilla will release him

Goke7:
That is why mocking Gala or the Turkish league is so disrespectful as they see the value in an osihmen far above those leagues we think are the best. In fact I know people will come for me but make osihmen go Saudi league to earn mega bucks cos what’s talent without the right value for it.

A player score goals and even create goals for his teammates what else does any club with ambitions want? A messenger or house boy?

minfelix:
why are people surprised that Juventus played stronger even after getting a red card….Wafcon 2022 we were shown red card twice playing 9women against the moroccans and dragging them to the PK shootout…
Juve is a bigger team and a bigger brand than Galatasaray, my only blame on Gala is that they should have not allowed juve score more than 1goal, allow them play you, as the class of barca/madrid that they are then lock up your defense for the rest of the match, couple with they are on home soil, even 2man Juve team should be pressing the life out of Gala…
make we no dey pretend as if Juve no pass them by far…

Kog45:
What has Diego comment got to do with Osimhen/Lookman Mozambique drama,did you ever see Chelle complaining about Lookman overall display...a player just joined a team and his coach made honest opinion about him but to you Osimhen a teammate was right just cuz of Diego comment...I repeat it una too dey disrespect the boy

Kog45:
Una propaganda too much,just to justify Osimhen actions which he already apologized,him añd Lookman have moved on...Diego simple comment didn't criticize Lookman but talking about a player that will understand Atletico style of play more with times but you're trying to center it on what happened against Mozambique...una too dey disrespect Lookman despite his stats said otherwise during Afcon

Kog45:
Diego said honest opinion on a new player who's just adapting to a new system or do you ever seen Atalanta complaining about his overall contributions....now to you Osimhen was right with Diego comment,plz how does it related

Black men are ethnic bias to themselves but not racist to the outside world. There's a difference between the two.

This is off topic.

TheLoneCitizen:
Actually white men suffer more
But suffer is the wrong word.
White men are afflicted more.

The difference is that they don't take the affliction as insult.

Blacks can say white boy or whitie
Whites can't even say black boy

Do you remember that story of a Romanian referee who isn't even whiter than the average Indian refers to Webo as "the black one" and the whole world went into a meltdown?
That is the inferiority complex I speak of. Being sensitive of your skin colour, because there's no better description for Webo in a crowd than "the black guy".

An immigrant steps into a bus and the whole atmosphere shifts. Nobody wants you to sit beside them just because of your skin colour. That's real racism not this nonsense Vinicius is doing.

TheLoneCitizen:
For every angle I watch of the Vinicius racist allegation, I feel ashamed and disgusted.

He's the one of the worst representation of a black man. And I hate the fact that this is the figure head of the fight against something as serious as racism.

And then enter Mbappé. The captain of the most black-dominated football squad outside Africa. Even more blacks than Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria put together.

He sees his teammate get called monkey 5 times and can't confront the accused. Video evidence doesn't support him. And worst off, he turns a paper tiger only after the end of the match.

And then, Henry goes on live TV to ask "why cover his mouth" something that every player from Messi, Ronaldo to even Vinicius in the same match do.

And then, white reporters, journalists, managers and pundits come all out in a manner so overly sentimental that it looks less like kick against racism and more like protecting a lesser species.

Sympathy for the lesser species.

The irony of watching Guardiola criticize racism. A man who didn't field blacks till Doku. A man who nearly pissed his pants out of fear when a black fan chased him for a picture.

Nothing I hate more than sympathy from the white man.
Vinicius just undermines the real victims like Balotelli, Moise Kean, Dani Alves, Henry and Everton Luiz who cried like a baby.
