Lmaoo I dont really see Ancellotti playing him. Ancellotti does not like attacking midfielders, those typical no 10. Reason why Isco and Asensio faded away under him.
Real Madrid current setup favours wingers and box-to-box midfielders, reason why they keep getting players with such profile. Black and grit.
Them go use loan finish the boys career.

And Odegaard too. Well, Arsenal will soon come for the kid like we usually do.

Kilishihunter:
Bro, I know we have talented midfielders among them, garrido, txus alba minus the ones in the first team, we just lack a left footed RCM plus the kid is very technical, I believe he'll have fit our style of play more except vardrid move to a more possession minded coach, Well e don go, There's no use ranting about another team's player

I understand.. I'm just trying to emphasize the fact that Xavi may not give him game time. Make we move on.... We can't get them all

AkinDS:
Its a matter of personal opinion.
Randy has started her in more games than any of the other center-backs since WAFCON, so that says something.
Just thankful we have a corp of central defenders that are reliable, perhaps the best we have had in a long time.

Yes...that was because one of Ash and Osinachi was not in the squad. It might even be due to injury.


Our options at CB is not exactly exciting. We only have three options right now. I'm not counting Mama Onome because she will retire after this world cup. We need more.

AkinDS:
That was then, we are talking of now. Oshoala and Ordega have lost a step or two, pace wise.
Oparanozie was never fast and was the slowest of the three O's.

Yes, Onumonu does have pace, having been a sprinter in her middle and high school days.
You can watch her games for FC Gotham to get a sense of how fast she is.

Her game has never been based on pace so I wouldn't worry about her. She needs to start and give us that physicality and power upfront.

Are you sure Onumonu was a sprinter? She is too slow abeg.

Somewhere among the talents in La masia is another 'Arda Guler'. Torre is another decent kid but how many minutes did he play last season? Even in inconsequential matches, baba no dey see minutes.

Na only Nigerians dey blame another player for the shortcomings of their favourite.

AkinDS:
Likelihood of Ashleigh as left back is slim anyway. Reason is IF Imuran is unavailable (for whatever reasons), Ogbonna will likely be the next in line.

Regarding centerbacks, surprised most here don't think highly of Tosin Demehin. I strongly believe she is high up Randy's list. I think she will be a starter. She is quick, physical and her ball playing skills (ball control and passing) and tactical awareness (reading of the game) are way up there. She started and played the full 90mins in all of our last 5 games.
I really don't see how she does not start.

Everybody here rates Tosin but there is no way she is starting ahead of either Ash or Ohale. The only way she gets to start is if we're playing the at the back. Ashleigh and Ohale are far ahead of her.

AkinDS:
This is really a stretch.

The issue with Oparanozie is she is incapable of playing on the flanks (due to her lack of pace) and is therefore, very limited in what she brings to the team, outside of being a point person in the attack. Meaning, IF she is (wo)man marked, she pretty much becomes redundant.
As opposed to Oshoala, Franny, Onumonu, Kanu or Okoronkwo, who can play anywhere on the front line and drag their markers out of position, so they cannot be effectively (wo)man marked.

The role Oparanozie is best suited for is IF there is a change in strategy (i.e., coach switches to a 4-4-2 formation, from a 4-3-3), and she plays alongside one of the other strikers. Otherwise, if the formation is a 4-3-3, I very much doubt Randy will start her. We saw an example of that against New Zealand, where he seemed to switch to a 4-4-2 near the end of the game, allowing her to come in when Oshoala got injured.

You really need to watch some past clips especially when the triple O were at their peak. I don't really know what to make of this post TBH.

Desire is a traditional 9, what do you want her on the wing for? And who told you she doesn't drift to the wing when and where necessary.

And if pace is your excuse, is Onumonu as fast as Desire?

jpmoriarti:
Welcome, boy

This guy na ajebo sha... una sure say he fit last 90mins

lovewins:
I disagree. Her indiscipline and lack of decision is what makes her a liability. She's bound to lose the ball and put the team under pressure. On the wings, she has limited responsibilities; pace and dribbles where it is required. Even if she loses the ball she's less of her liability to the team.

We're actually saying the same thing. However, she doesn't have to play in a particular position on the field in order to determine the rate of liability.

lovewins:
He should please not play Rash in the middle. Stick her to the wings. Rash is a terrible ball carrier. She holds on to the ball unnecessarily and bows to pressure almost always losing the ball. He should work strictly with Onyi, Payne, Ayinde, Debbie and Ucheibe in the middle. If at all Rash would be considered she should play closer to the attack, more like an AM.

Rash is actually good in Midfield. Better in the middle than in the wide role. Her problem has been lack of discipline and decision making. Even on the wing sef, she lacks discipline.

Deltamani:
You all should take note of Rofiat Imuran at the World Cup too, that girl is one for the Future…!!

Gk- Chiamaka Nnadozie

DF- Blessing Demehin, Rofiat Imuran, Akudo Ogbonna, Onyi Zogg, Nicole Payne, Chidinma Okeke

MF- Christy Ucheibe, Onyi Echegini, Peace Efih, Deborah Abeodun, Esther Onyenezide

AT- Rash Ajibade, Monday Gift, Maclean Chinonyerem, Anam IMO, Flourish Sabastine, etc are certainly for the future as they’re all below 24 except Onyi Zogg

We still competition for Chiamaka Nnadozie

Taiwo Afolabi and Ezinne Kalu too.

Abeg...did I missed my way?

Jodera:
Have you seen the leaked 3rd kit?

Yea bro... just cool

BankyGee:
At last. Thank God

You're wicked o

I've been noticing it since but I just ignore since we no dey English class and I perfectly understand everything.

Una don see the preseason pictures?
The unwanteds arrived first

Cedric, Holding, Marquinhos, Lokonga

Pepe never show face

charlesemeka85:
to who? No place in a team is guaranteed, every player is given a chance to fight for a starter’s shirt where the best starts games

Brighton wanted Chelsea’s Conwil who played on loan with them last season but chelsea refused selling permanently to them and in De Zerbi’s list bassey is second in terms of their CB transfer targets which is the reason they are going for him

Also Brighton were interested in him after he’s stellar season in the Scottish league and Europe before he opted for Ajax

I'm talking about Timber sha

Xhaka off for 21m
Nice deal

lovewins:
Couldn't have said it better

Does she have weak foots? Haven't observed her enough to know. This is one of Alozie's negatives, it's something I hope she improves on so she's more lethal in attack.

Alozie doesn't have a weaker foot.

lovewins:
Rinsola Babajide joins Gift Monday and Esther Okoronkwo at UDG Terenife

Omo...this is a big selection headache. Gift on the left, Rinsola in the middle and Esther on the right?

charlesemeka85:
Timber will be massively exposed if he moves to arsenal

one player I prayed that Ten Hag didn’t bring to man united instead brought Lisandro Martinez who wasn’t really in the picture and on the verge of joining arsenal before Ten Hag gave him a call

Martinez was the reason ajax had a good defensive shift the season they won the league before united signed Ten Hag but all the praise went to Timber

The Dutch are like the English, they over hype their own

You mean he is not good defensively? Hope you know say na backup sha. And na RB he go dey play?.

Jodera:
I omorr the leaked 3rd kit no fine kan kan

We all get different taste sha

If only Arsenal got Osimhen & Min Jae
They’d stand a good chance

You really need to tell us wetin you smoke before typing this sh!t
