I challenge you to bring up any post where the bolded was said or even implied. If not tender an unreserved apology. Please note that I won't accept it after 24hours of this post. So be quick about it.

Bro... Address the 'stat' context and stop twisting your way out. You put Giroud and RVP in the same class using stat. Everybody here said stat is not conclusive but you were adamant. Now, you're making a U-turn because it suits your agenda. Continue.

Spy360:
Any body can miss one on one, including Osimhen Vs Angola. Why is Kai so special to you?

Konate completely owned Martinelli but Kai took him up which meant Martinelli was free to attack VVD that led to the goal. Kai got Konate his first and second yellows that led to us winning the game.

If you aren't seeing those then you are the problem not Kai.

Konate and Kai were like million miles apart for.tha second goal
Check wetin you dey type bro. Unless na different match we watch.

mine3112:
Nelson is faster. Great win and a much needed 3 points to stay relevant in the title push but I think Arteta needs not to over celebrate to avoild backlash from the English pundits expecially the so called rivals' legends. I think we should win a major trophy with him first.

Yea... Nelson is somewhat faster but Martinelli is more rugged.

Arteta didn't over celebrate. Klopp has done worse sef. Football is a game of emotion. Every coach will celebrate such brilliant goal.

Lovethy55:
This is my first month but yes. They said the internship will be paid. But I'm not sure how much yet

Ok .. thanks.
I applied for this year's already.

Guys.. me and one guy dey argue. It is funny sha.
Nelson or Martinelli, who is faster?

daveP:
Maybe he's watching some Bellerin clips

Bellerin dey nutmeg? I don't think so. Na speed the guy dey take use beat players.

Jodera:
He's always been nutmegging players right from last season

No tell me say na today your own morning reach for the matter

Really? I didn't notice. The way he does it casually ehn...

DarkJeddi:
And who you be ?
You think because you stick around here more often,you are somehow an authority in anything?
Nigeria has a habit of losing knockout matches after beating South Africa, based on all of two matches?
Ogbeni,park..

Where did they release you people from sef?
What are you saying? What am I saying? Tell the person sitting beside you to read and explain to you abeg.

daveP:
The Ketekete Effect

Coined from the legendary poetic song of Chief Ebenezer "chief commander" Obey about trying to please people.


Those of you clamoring for Osimhen to be benched will be the 1st to drag everyone including Finidi George if Nigeria doesn't win this game.


So let the fear factor continue rather than loss of momentum.

Do your best and leave the rest, as you can't please people

Oboto700:
which fact...are they not following the games? Some people are just bitter

Truly, Osimhen do miss chances. If they opine for him to be dropped based on this, it is valid. Personally, I don't want him to be dropped because the only thing he is doing wrong is missing chances. That is because none of the other forwards can offer other aspects of his game.

Oboto700:
most people no get sense... osihmen would be running in on defenders just to put smiles on our faces some people here would be asking the coach to bench him.. is that right? That's witchcraft

I know. I didn't support the notion. That doesn't mean the basis of their stance is not reasonable. All you need to do is to counter them with fact, and not going about calling them names. It doesn't bode well on your personality. You get?

Ben White is fond of nutmegging opponent's attackers nowadays. He did it twice yesterday. Who is teaching him sef

Ppogbae:
Osimhen beating Cameroon on and off the field!

Wait o. How many wives sef. Thought Omolade is his only GF. Make this Bobo calm down o.

Oboto700:
oboto means greatness in my dialect

Exactly!
You're bearing a name as great as this and you go about insulting people anyhow on this thread. You sef think am

kennysville:
You mean Zulu speaking opponent

'As the ball was coming in, Percy Tau sebola zibanga jikelo balako and then the defender fifulo jikolo bskhhdjdldjdkd'

To speak complete English in that country na crime

DarkJeddi:
Lol..
You were talking about knockout stage?
Then why didn't you say so or that doesn't suit your agenda?

Who is this?

iamoyindamola:
Person way score own-goal shey because i no talk since yesterday

With his hands for that matter.

Deltamani:
They have every Business playing it even thrice if they still fall within the age bracket… So the Coach that brought both of them in does not know what he’s doing right.. Afolabi who’s currently the U17 Captain showed that she has got some little experience from playing the U17 before now and also currently among the U20 set up.!

The age bracket is exactly what we're talking about bro.. Etim and Taiwo? U17?

daveP:
Don't mind them

Club football- you lose, you brush up and prepare yo win the other.

Tournament football-You lose, you're out. Nobody remembers if you played the best football or had world class players. If you win, even if na carpenter full team, the World would laud them for eliminating the better team and hype them.

The only thing in common between national team football and club football is group stages of those tournaments. Lose and try win the next. After that nothing.


That's why since the Cameroon game, I've concluded that VO is doing like a Giroud-promax sorta. Winning aerial duels and opening up space for teammates to attack and also providing but this time, he's very unlucky with netting. I however feel this southie game, he'll do the needful.

Gbam! Na 'anyhow' football dey win tournament. Victory is what matters not who score. Although those people asking Osimhen to be dropped have got a perfect excuse for that. Osimhen missing chances night cost us one day but that doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye to his other activities on the pitch.

minfelix:
except you will say in knock out stages…but for 2004 na 4-0 them chop and we went to next match beat Benin and proceed to also beat the pepper nation

Yea... I was talking about Knockout

iamoyindamola:
I won't be suprised
I fvcking love this club in stuart voice

Yea... that was a nice gesture from Ode.

Jodera:
Lol.., e be like say you deh vex oo

I dey vex bro. Wetin sef? Shey Arsenal na the only club ni. We no fit jubilate..we no fit celebrate. They should let us rest abeg.

Lovethy55:
Please who else made it to the internship stage? Training school is in May. Let's open a group together my number is 07057746471

Please will the internship be a paid one?

Giroud and Walcott showing up yesterday was kinda strange. Like who invited them?

Be like Arsenal spirit dey hook person. Ozil sef no wan gree forget Arsenal.

Jodera:
Forget Man city sef.

No be Klopp be the master of this wild celebrations?

Carragher and others are just frustrated because we won. Na normal celebration be all these things na

He is a Liverpool legend na...wetin you expect? We lose, Dem go talk..Draw, Dem go talk... Win, Dem go still talk. Bunch of f""ls.

Jamie carragher on arteta and odegaard celebration
You have won just walk down the tunnel
Haters on X: Arsenal celebrating like they have won the league

Ian Wright on the Arsenal celebrations after the full-time whistle:

“The negativity towards Arsenal’s celebrations, what have we done wrong? Stuart, the photographer, is a life long Gunner, it’s an opportunity for a memory, why’s everyone trying to kill the joy? Don’t kill the joy.

“As soon as Arsenal do anything, everyone piles on like Arsenal aren’t allowed any joy. Don’t let them spoil it. My manager, keep celebrating with passion like you do.

“Just leave us alone man.”

These assholes can't even hide the hate again like wrighty said they should leave us the fvck alone

Don't mind them. Ode was not even doing excessive celebration. He just want Stuart to have a memorable moment. It is like Stuart delivered his typical lecture before the match yesterday.

Spy360:
That is why I said stats aren't conclusive. Because the stats people look at are the ones they shouldn't be looking at. Goals and assists. There are other more indicative stats that give better assessment of a player than simply G/A

But you're the one who said Giroud is better than RVP based on stat na. Which one you wan make we believe now?

The issue is not beating SA. The issue is we have not won the next match after beating SA. Hopefully we will break the 'jink'.

The year France won the world cup, Giroud was the starting striker yet he didn't have a single shot on target. No be so?
Some people need to differentiate between tournament and league. In a tournament, all that matters is to progress till you get the cup. Nothing matters more than to win the match.

There are some players you just can't bench anyhow and Osimhen is one. My issue is the coach not subbing him off whenever he is tired. He already run down the opponent's defence for like 70 minutes. Bring in Moffi who is equally fast.

Toylove:
These people wey dey shout bench Osimhen are trolls ba

That last goal though
The girl must be a Bayern fan.

lovewins:
I think you mean Etim and I mentioned this weeks ago when the list was released. It makes no sense. Those who write ages for these players should try and be responsible small na. The problem now is she'll have spent the years she's supposed to compete with her peers in developmental stages and won't cope by the time she's supposed to translate same at the senior level.

Yea... Etim. Autocorrect changed the word and I didn't notice.
You're right. Taiwo Afolabi too.

drDoom3:
Against a mid/low block any player is good at bringing the ball out from the defense, especially in a back three. You have more passing options, the opponents cannot double press you, you have CMs/DMs in Iwobi and Onyeka that can receive the ball, you have Osimhen you can lump the ball to. Very easy.

The problem is facing a high press in a back two. Once the options are limited, that is when you know who is good at bringing the ball out from the defense and who is not.

Whether mid block o, high block o, low block o, ice block o... Ekong had been bringing ball out of defence and we are now in semi. We are playing a tournament involving African teams and not against the like of City, Arsenal or pool.
