When was the Last time Cameroon collect 4 whatout reply?

EEGA:
SA did that and it worked for them because we had Awaziem and Ekoong,no Balogun,Etebo as AM ,no Mikel, Iwobi as Lwf,no victor Moses and Iheanacho as CF, no Ighalo.

No team in Africa can beat us with our stars present.U can't frustrate a team with Mikel,Balogun,Vic. Moses and Ighalo.These players are experienced and know how to approach such team tactically.

Mujtahida:
Of course you surely must have read Rohr repeatedly saying this is a different Zambian team than the one we beat last year. Mikel said we respect Zambia but it's time we wrap this up and the team as a whole has refused to be drawn into low mind games with Zambia with several players including Mikel saying they will do their talking on the pitch. So you see they know how to gauge things.

It's different from fans who from the get go in the name of reality show so much fear so that when we win they'd be happy, if we are defeated they'd have the morbid pleasure of saying 'shebi I tell una' . That's the perspective I find difficult to swallow. Believe in your team to the hilt!! That's what the Zambians are doing. Go to their page and sample comments.

Mujtahida:
Mickael2 light or darkness? What are you seeing? At least yours comes with analysis not just fear mongering. So what do you see?

junnyjake:
When it comes to Onazi this time, we need not cry sentiments.

Is Ndidi more likely to score from range than Onazi? Yes, absolutely.

Agree with him on that and forget about his past stand on Onazi hereby prolonging the argument.

Onazi was poor against SA, fact! And in fact I blame him for the 2nd goal. He's had some great games for SE, and he's still valuable to the team. Finish.

komekn:
Bonaventure seems to be a good prospect, I really don't know much about him. He does seem familiar, was he involved with the Nigeria All stars team that came to Manchester some years ago with John Fashanu

Dessers has done well at Utrecht, Onyekuru is already owned by Everton and I believe if not for work permit issues he would be in the EPL. That may still happen if Koeman is still here in the next few weeks, as they are now desperate for attacking options and have none. Can Onyekuru be a striker for Everton No, but a winger yes. He is a bit too lightweight for my liking. Watched him against Celtic and he struggled. You can see how Musa has struggled at Leicester.

Awoniyi currently needs to prove himself, he is far off the mark. To be brutally honest there are at least 10 Nigerian origin players better than him currently in the championship and EPL.

Unfortunately the league they are playing in is not a very strong league. That doesn't mean they are not good. However, I expect them to be dominating in those leagues and if they are not then questions about thier quality.

They do not have to be in the EPL but it cannot be denied that if you are cutting it in the premiership and making waves then you will be quality and good enough for the SE.

Incidentally our top players are from the EPL Moses Ighalo, KC, Iwobi, Mikel, Ndidi, and soon to be Aina. Take these players out and what do we have left.

So the idea that you must be in the EPL is not necessarily true but it's a great bench mark for quality.

Kog45:
No o Michael 2 just feel Onazi is not d best for that position but d guy deserves some respect coz i don't see any better midfielder than him for now or do we say Agu,Esiti,Ogu are better even Ndidi yet to show us is better than Onazi of 2013/14.

neighy:
maybe you dont get his point... He is trying to say ndidi shoots better than onazi (taking SPG) into consideration..
Just like saying lampard has more goals from shot than gerrard that is not underrating gerard ... But lampard is more likely to score

Kog45:
Pls what is so special picking Onazi to test keeper in shooting training session and what do u mean by shot conversion ratio,are u talking in a match situation or what.

Kog45:
Haba Michael 2 testing keeper with a shot in training and taking balls from d stand.

If u talk about match situation i w agree with u but not one on one situation shot especially training session.

Pls always give little respect to Onazi Ogenyi.I still remember his outside shot for Lazio just like Olishe goal against Spain.

Mujtahida:
Trust me, I'd love to see your suggested combo but not now. The stakes are higher now and midfield is crucial to our game cos the Zambians are not too enterprising there. After this game we can say hello to all forms of experimentation.

Humility017:
you and this onazi issue....eehh
how about his shots against Ethiopia some years ago during the World cup qualifier

BascoVanVeli:
like really? u just couldn't help ur self abi? Same Onazi that broke his teammate hand with shot.

Dedebanky85:
That was Esiti's introduction that slowed and stifled any kinda threat the Zambians had in Ndola. I don't think Ogu even made the bench in that game. Subs were Musa, Esiti and I think Shehu if I can recollect well.
But I do get your points regarding Ogu. I remember he and Mikel over bossed the game against the Uruguayan team in that 2013 confeds.

Mujtahida:
So Ogu played in the Zambian first leg? I can't recall

BascoVanVeli:
Ndidi is doing the bolded because Rohr must know he is fatigued. I must admit the man doesn't miss much, good job.

Kog45:
meaning Ezenwa is starting,after nailing Zambia,i want to see Ajiboye in goal against Algeria,possible d guy m be better than d duo.

Mujtahida:
It has never been tried. Not now please.

Icon4s:
Oya from the list of available players give us your preferred midfield combo.

edi287:
He was scoring more than 20 goals as a winger and let's not forget the season where he scored 42. Cr7 wasn't always the tap in king you guys make him out to be. Like I said, go watch videos of his first 2 seasons at Madrid and come tell me if all he has is finishing. Dude simply adjusted his game to extend his career. Nothing wrong with that.

AIG07:
A sincere question needs a sincere answer?

In the absence of these trio, does the SE stands a chance against 'this' Zambian team?
Balogun
Mikel
V. Moses.

edi287:
It's like some of you guys have forgotten the Cr7 of man united and early madrid days. The super skillful one that dribbles past players with ease. I saw someone say apart from scoring, there's nothing cr7 can do that Hazard can't....all I have to say is go and watch old videos of him. People forget so easily

Joebie:
I have.. we had his VCR tapes back in the days..
We are talking of a player at 17 already doing wonders
leave that matter. when you talk of the greatest ever you have to look beyond your generation.

Icon4s:
Mikel will definitely play the AM position.

One of Simon and Iwobi will have to start from the bench.

The ........Ndidi........Onazi
.......................Mikel combo seams to be working well. I don't see Rohr changing that.

tbaba1234:
I think Onazi is integral... His breaking up play was top class against Cameroon

Joebie:
Put Pele as #1 ever, and everything you say is valid.

The Messi and Ronaldo debate have gone on for so long that people, even editors are daring to place Messi as the best ever. That's the greatest football sin ever.

Other arguments and comparisons I don't care.

Icon79:
Bingo! As I had said over and over and over again: take away Cristiano's goals, he's useless to any team. Anybody can score goals if you're playing with the likes of Marcelo, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Isco, Casemiro, etc. All Cristiano has to do is to play at the shoulder of the last defender and meet the final pass. Does anybody realize that a vast majority of Cristiano's goals these days are mostly tap ins!

And I am not the only one that have said this because even Sergio Ramos once said openly that Cristiano is excused from doing any defensive works because he's expected to score 30 goals per season for Real Madrid.

The real super stars like Messi and Maradona can change the game even without scoring goals. You cannot be the best player in the world if all you do is score goals....there's more to football than goal scoring!


O pari

safarigirl:
oya, no vex again. Sorry

safarigirl:
you have?

Your moniker is the most recent to dabble on the CR7 goal scoring matter, that's why your name is first

safarigirl:
From Roy Keane to Ronaldo and Iniesya, before you know it Ramos, Marcelo and Pique will join the argument.

It wpukd be nice if you alk agreed to disagrew ao we can get to the matter that brought everyone to this thread.

Cc Mickael2, bataderemi, Napoleon55, TheGoodJoe, goldfish80 and all other affected parties

Napoleon55:
is goal scoring not part of football?
u would even think goal keeping,marking,noding are not part of football,only dribbles?
