Jodera:
At all, I no Sabi am

I think it was from a song. But people used it for someone who is too strict.. someone wey no dey smile. You get.

andrewbaba44:
I watched the game and I know he was below par ,but I didn’t notice he completed only 1 pass. I watched him lost so many balls ,but na for espn I see say na 1 pass e complete ,I made my investigation and they where right , e surprise me weda na the same game I watch

I was surprised too. Even if na to drop for midfield exchange 1 meter pass with Militao. Well, he and Roque are still on the watchlist for now.

joelsteron:
I hope peseiro returns.

daveP:
Since Wafu B started, esp the u17, how many have progressed from the Nigerian side to at least be considered for the Super Eagles so far?

Or at least to the u17 squad for the WC

When last did we qualify for U17 WC?

andrewbaba44:
Don’t judge him so quick though

I will cut him some slack because of how they play at the copa America ,though that performance was nothing to write him of sha

Yea... but 1 pass in a match? That's somehow now. It would have been better if he missed chances sef.

Shegzdave:
Funny thing is these guys you mentioned no Dey easily smile apart from Big Gabi who Dey try smile small

You get it bro. They're too serious. And that Calafiori be like war Lord.

Vischy:
Na lack of funds if not Estevao Willian would be a Barca player.

Yea... he is also good. I think he is heading to Chelsea now.

Jodera:
Abeg break all these names down

You no Sabi the slang?

Omo... na so Barca for sign baby Lukaku sha. 1 pass completed in 90 minutes? O wrong now

Mujtahida:
Hahaha hahaha hahaha okay na

The law... don't bring that book of codes out yet o.. na joke I dey joke

Jodera:
E no go genuine

Send fund first. It will make the support genuine.

Arsenal lining up with White, Saliba, Gabriel and Calafiori next season.

Commentator: And here comes the arsenal team, Cala, Daju, Ranjupa and marerin.

Jodera:
Lol..
Make Raya deh him post first,
Only Saliba aura is enough

Nobody shares the Cb zone with Saliba

I don't just want Saliba to be bored ni

Chelsea vs Arsenal

Fofana vs Saliba

Midryk vs Trossard

Renato Veiga vs Ricardo Calafiori

Jodera:
Make we forget about Cala signing and lineup like this next season. We get king of Aura and minister of defence in one

Make Raya kuku partner Saliba make we f'Olohun sole.

Jodera:
....if only you dey support England

Oya.. I go support them.

Mujtahida:
I have scouted not the same as I am a scout. I've driven not the same as I am a driver. Gerrit?

Once you scouted, you're a scout. A lot of coaches are out of job currently but that doesn't mean they are not a coach.

solonnachi:
Ofofo reports I'm hearing is that Dominic Solanke wants to play for SE because he was snubbed by England at EURO 2024 and has even contacted NFF.

Make he gerrout. He should wait for his turn.

Marjoribanks:
I have scouted talent to know who a genuine talent is from their first to second touch and movement. At 16/17 you could see Nwakali/Arder/Kanu/Osimhen's talent. I just do not see that boy succeeding as a striker! I have never gone wrong with my prediction. Calafiori and Zirkzee are prime examples!

Nevertheless, I understand your point. The team you played in can also help even when you're average. There are many examples of such players too. Maybe Endrick might be one of them. lol!

You're a scout? wow. But the other day, you said Calafiori is a midfielder. BTW, I'm a good analyst too. Which club do you scout for? Link me up abeg.

Jodera:
Lol...
Just go buy ticket to watch Saka, Rice and Ramsdale for Berlin (ie the finals)

Ok sir... you can sponsor me sha

AndSunGorilla:
Hope you know say na Saka-seize-him o.

I know now.

I actually read it many times because the excuses sounds somehow. Then I checked the moniker.

ekehopp2:
Ucheibe, Oluehi, Toni Payne, Deborah Abiodun, ??, Chidinma Okeke, Gift Monday, Rasheedat Ajibade, Chiamaka Nnadozie

Who's ??
Morufa Ademola I guess?

Yet to see Randy in any of these pictures from The Super Falcons Show @Superfalconshow

P/S: Confirmed. Yes that's Morufa Ademola. Funny how Chiamaka Nnadozie is the tallest, yet a 5'11 guy would still dwarf her

Nnadozie just look like their mother. I kinda like her frame sha... it is perfect for a goalie. I think Emiliano Martinez has the same stature too

Jodera:
Lol, yeah, they've been solely working on that formation oo. The 3 atb they did against Switzerland was what they even worked on newly in their last two training sessions against Switzerland. Before then, they've not tried it in preparation for this Euros.


He brought in Palmer, brought in Eze and brought in Toney. He still left Kane and Saka, Bellingham and Rice.

So with an attack of Kane, Toney, Saka, Palmer, Eze, Rice and Bellingham. You don't think one of this attackers will be withdrawn back albeit still showing attacking class?
And who better than Saka amongst all of them?

Did you know that when England was winning in that same Slovakia match, Saka was shifted back to his right wing towards the end of the match? (with Palmer at Lw) ie when Kane was withdrawn.

Oya Oya... I know you no go gree. It is ok bro. Netherlands go do the Lord's work.

Jodera:
1. First bolded: The reason why it took him long to adjust was because that formation was what they've been working on since. In fact, according to either telegraph or the athletic I read from, it was strictly that 4 atb they've been working on with Trippier/Shaw at Lb while Arnold in midfield. From what I read, seems there was no plan B hence Southgate was just forcing it while changing personnels(from Arnold to Gallagher to finally Mainoo). When it reached Slovakia match (after 4 matches) and it's still not working he just had to change it. If he had plan B, he would have adjusted since especially the 3rd match(against Slovenia).

2. Second bolded: Desperate times requires desperate measure. They're losing and they're on the verge of elimination unlike group stages where a draw they've been having is all good.

What do you expect Southgate to do, remove attackers for another attacker try to put in more attackers to his previous attackers for more fire power?
Most coach will do the latter in that situation.

If you are the one, what would you have done differently? I would really love your response

So you mean they used weeks to practise that exact formation and personnel only to almost crash out with the same formation? Southgate na better otu sha.

There are many options to make in that moment but moving one of your best attackers to LB, a position he has not played for 3 years now in that crucial moment. Come on, that's not something Southgate would do on his own. To think he made the exact substitution by bringing on Palmer should tell you something. He could have moved Foden to RW and bring in Gordon. But because the media says Saka to LB and Palmer to RW. He had to follow the same step.

AndSunGorilla:
Carlos can't score those kain FKs because say the walls have become tighter, scientific and do not give such space again.

Oh.. ok

Amedino99:
the guy probably lost if he staked it at just normal win or lose

I think there should be an option where the player is expected to choose who to qualify or so. I don't really know.

TheGoodJoe:
That is why we don't see much flair and creativity as we saw in the past.

Yea.. because of the scientific and robotic football you're advocating for.

TheGoodJoe:
Roberto Carlos can hit a fantastic screamer but I have seen him cooked many times like of he can't even mark. Go watch Ronald de Boer cook him in France 98 so badly that his coach told him to stop trying.

If this is all you could come up with, then whatever point you have mentioned here to defend the devilish tikitaka football is invalid.

TheGoodJoe:
The speed and intensity comes with reducing the opponents time with the ball. The defensive side of the possessive play. Also, off the ball runs in attacking play.

It will be a fantasy to think Ronaldinho will skate through Liverpool's gengenpress with ease.

You see all these passing and passing around teams employed today just to beat the press, it will take Ronny just a single piece of skill to break the press.

You see players like Ronny and Okocha who are good dribblers, their skills are natural. Nowadays, players play under a specific system to break the press. Once this system fails. the results will be disastrous. But dribblers like Ronny, even if the system fails, they can still do many things to bail out their teams because their abilities are natural.

TheGoodJoe:

I raised points. Debate the point.

If your point is a diamond, LAWMA go still trash . because it has no value. Imagine comparing Cannavaro and Stones.
For all your tactical and intensity excuse let me ask you some questions?

That freekick technique of Roberto Carlos, how many of your LBs can execute it?

Akanji who is supposed to be technical played a ridiculous penalty yesterday?

John Stones couldn't clear a simple ball and Switzerland scored?

Gvardiol nko, how many times did he drop a stinker in this Euro before Croatia crashed out?

Walker for England is just there.

That's what scientific football has caused. It will squeeze out the players' innate and natural abilities and create a rigid system for them. You take the players out of this system and they will look ordinary.

TheGoodJoe:
What is causing the scientific football is what I am talking about. It is the increase in physicality and speed. The only way is to play around it. Speed and intensity has made it difficult to have space for flair.

You hammered on speed and intensity. All that speed and intensity just to play tikitaka. As in, what is the use of the speed and intensity of all players do all day is just to make 3 or 4 yard passes?
