nah not really anything hardcore like that, just playing. But people like komekn/charlesemeka and more will definitely hear am.

Lol...you can't be too sure bro. Most of those who are condemning the guy are doing so due to the frustration of the big disappointment Nwakali served us all. Even, I myself was disappointed.
But if he can make a big move eh, a single key pass from him will be celebrated by all here.

AndSunGorilla:
Premium oil dey your head!!!! But then again, truth be told, sometimes some monikers talk about him too much and seem to paint the picture that his inclusion in the team will resolve all the team's shortcomings. The excessive mention sometimes seems awkward. All that said, I wish Nwakali nothing but the best for his career even whether he plays for 9ja or doesn't. After all players like Owubokiri, Akpoborire and Obiku had somewhat good careers in Europe without playing so much for 9ja.

I agree bro. I also wish him the best.

Truidstar:
One of the participants in the delusional orgy spotted. Well done bros.

Kid, go face your jamb lessons and leave Nwakali alone.

Spy360:
He is better than Martinelli. Especially during pressing. His only problem is his reluctance to switch position when he is not seeing ball. But we will surely need his pressing against City.

As far as pressing is concern, the only player closer to Martinelli is Jesus. Why do you think Martinelli was once compared to Sanchez? Martinelli dey press bro.

As for your other post, Pep do change tactic especially if he is playing against Arteta. His change of tactic during the last minutes of the fa cup clash was why they dominated us.

AndSunGorilla:
On a serious note, KC is still fighting, I forgot he was adjudged the best player and Osimehn the second at their U17. He got some seemingly lucky breaks after the U17 but life has happened whatever the cause. What is obvious to me is that, he's still fighting and provided he doesn't give up or get a freakish injury, anything good and better can still happen to him.

Gbam! I really don't know why they're condemning the guy. It is his life, his football career.
Has his career trajectory been disappointing? Yes
Is resurgence possible? Yes.
It's simple as that.

Truidstar:
My brother, during the Nations cup… you can go back and check. There was an Nwakali Mass delusion event that was organized. His super natural abilities were trumpeted to the high heavens. Heat maps were produced, pictures of Nwakali wearing Superman shirts were shown, he was hailed as the Messiah of our midfield. Even respected monikers here who normally approached any subject with logic and intelligence abandoned all reason and joined the orgy of delusion stark naked. I had to double check to see if it was the same Nwakali Abi it was another one. It was an exaggeration galore. You can confirm yourself .

Lol... I admire the way you conjure invisible insinuations to push your agenda. After reading this, I started wondering if na the same thread. SMH

Starboytwo:
Good morning folks.

Omo, this Nwakali guy, may God help him so he can justify the faith you guys put in him.

You guys are tough sha, I mean Team Nwakali, you guys have staunchly supported him, through thick and more thin. Kudos.

On a lighter note, if Nwakali just secure a move to a top league, or let’s say Chelasea (na dem fit buy anyone) chai, many people should just leave this thread cuz thegoodjoe/supernerd and more will kill us with intricate short,long,accurate corner etc.

This is where you're wrong. Nothing like team Nwakali. He was once my favorite player and I can tell you how disappointed I am at how his career has turned out now.
We are all disappointed but that doesn't mean he should be written off. He is 24 and he has been having an above average season so far.
Bro...Nacho got blasted for staying at Leceister but anytime he scored, na everybody here dey celebrate am.

iamoyindamola:
the first half of the fa cup if we were ruthless enough we would have been 2 goals up

You're right. Let's wait and see what happens on Wednesday. To be honest, I'm not expecting anything from that match.

germaphobe:
hmmmm... oga. hope say your day was good?. dis kind line up nawah!!

Bro...the loss against Everton don spoil everything already.

iamoyindamola:
Defending against city will be the biggest mistake

I, myself don't want us to defend but the last 10 minutes of our FA cup clash changed my view. Pep will always be Arteta's superior. He brought in Walker and Alvarez and everything changed, we started panicking. Let's just defend our 3 points lead.

iamoyindamola:
What if martinelli start as CF and trossard play the LW
We need someone like jesus on Wednesday and martinelli is the best bet

As it is now...let's just play a back 3 of Holding, Saliba and Gabriel.... Kiwior, Partey, Tierney and Tomi in Midfield.... OdeSaka and Trossard in attack. Let's defend for our life tomorrow. We need to protect that 3 points for some time at least.

They have changed the official in charge of VAR on Wednesday. He was the same man that incorrectly ruled out Brighton's goal against Crystal palace.

Mujtahida:
I
Yes he achieved all that but it does not take away the fact that he's not consistent. What should be taken to mind is that if he can achieve all of this despite his inconsistent showings (I concede the fact that Rogers does not give him a stretch of games) what heights of exploits would he attain if he were a bit more consistent.

And in the Super Eagles Iheanacho and Aribo are a problem as far as tactical set up is concerned.

They're not a problem in a tactical set-up. The coach just lacked the idea of how to use them rightly.

[quote author=komekn post=120883292]First of all you are making the very basic skill set of "long ball" distribution as some high level unattainable skill set.

In reality it's a basic skill set not an outstanding exceptional one, players who have a far better array of skill sets resort it to it now and again not continuously. We have not descended to the leve of playing police game.

In this regard any Nigerian midfield player that is playing in the EPL, Championship and League one are better options than him .

Any Nigerian Midfielder playing in the top 10 leagues of Europe is a better option.

Consider that one of our best Midfielders in recent times Etebo plays in the Greek Super league and thats rated 20 in Europe.

The Segundo is very very low standard to use the term quality is an over statement, with regards to the Segundo division.

For a direct example I would say all the midfielders in Sheffield Wednesday in league one are better than him. For example ;

Adeshina Bakinson
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru
Dennis Adeniran

What's remarkable but not to me Fisayo is wanted by several EPL teams with AC Milan, PSV expressing an interest among other across Europe.

I watched him play for Manchester City against Liverpool FC U21 and he was the outstanding player not Harvey Elliott.

For context a little clip.

like this is why I keep doubting you're what you claimed to be. But then, I think it is the hate in you that's talking.

You once said something similar about Osimehn and we know how it turned out.

Morocco reached the WC semifinal, can you tell us where their players ply their trade?

BannedLarge:
People are forgetting that if Bayern Munich wins the league and champions league, there’s Sadio mane, if man city wins the league and champions league, there’s mahrez, if Arsenal wins the league and World Cup, there’s Partey even salah has 21 goals in all competitions this season and if Liverpool wins champions league, there’s Salah. As for Moroccans, at least 1 or 2 of them are guaranteed a place in the top 3 for their historic performance at the World Cup. You can belittle it but forget that we were humbled by ordinary bad Ghana team.. Inclusion, if Osimhen see top 3 APOY this season sef, it’s a big W to him. This is how we were hyping certain players prior to Ghana game until we were humbled

If Arsenal win world cup abi wetin I dey see so?

1. Salah won't be in the conversation for APOTY.
2. Mane will definitely be a strong contender.
3. Mahrez is a strong contender.

But there's something that gives Osimehn the edge for now- golden boot.

Blueelf:
This is one of the very few komekn's post I agree with

KC nacho is very inconsistent

YOu guy's forget that his inconsistency made Rorhr drop him from the bronze winning AFCON squad

The guy has been on poor form. If you're as good, even a sentimental coach like rodgers won't have any choice but to play you

Dude is overrated because he is many people's favorite here. Same way people overrate Nwakali. This is someone who can' survive the EPL talk less of the spanish lower division where he is plying his trade. I even saw a post celebratinghim as one of the top 15 players in spanish lowerdivision. Haba!!! Have we come this low? And this is the same person some people are pushing to anchor the midfield of the super eagles

Lollll

I won't tow the path of self-deceit

cc thesupernerd

Man...you cap too much and your posts now are somewhat irritating.
Nacho was not dropped because he's inconsistent. He was dropped because he was not playing regularly at Leceister.

As for Nwakali, I'm really disappointed at him. I watched him at that U17 tourney and was like ..damn! we have got a gem.
The same way Sadiq's stats were being dropped here is the same way Kelechi's stats are being dropped now.
You're talking as if other African countries are not calling up players from division 2 and other obscure league.

Make una leave Nwakali alone... the nagging too much.

As it is now, I've programmed my kind not to expect a single point on Wednesday.
Call me pessimistic or whatever. It's what Arsenal has turned us to.

iamoyindamola:
We have said it several time white should not be playing against blocking teams
Zinny is in midfield, Tomi can cross and attack better than white

Infact that Zinny should have been sub sef... Tierney is the better crosser. Arteta's rigidity will mess up our quest.

I think I've been hammering it now. When you can't break them down, use the crosses. Nketiah is short but Holding and Gabriel are good in the box. With Partey, White and Saliba sitting deep, we will be covered at the back.
If you can't win beautifully, you will win ugly.

See free kick!

Unlimited22:
No, it isn't. All you guys have to do is not lose to them

Yinmu.... We don't know the city that will show up.

Roland17:
Man just stop! You yourself just said it few minutes ago. Even if it is to bring Holding and push him into the box. Brentford are not bothered by anything we are doing.

You mentioned a striker or a midfielder. There is a big difference. Holding is a defender.

If man City wins their match, it's over.

Roland17:
It doesn’t have to be a striker. A midfielder or a player who sits in that box to distract the defense and take a player from Brentford. Brentford have packed the box because they know we have nothing inside. Everything is around the box and predictable

There's nobody bro

Bring in Holding, Move Gabi and Holding to their box and whip in crosses. Let's play dirty

Another draw soup...damn!

Roland17:
Why can’t we bring another player to partner Nketiah? Why are playing the same tactics? Opponents are packing their midfield and daring us to open them up. I am so frustrated!

Which striker? That's all we have.

When you suppose shoot, una no go shoot. And when you shoot, it will lack power.

Na foul una suppose dey check not offside.

What a stupid goal to concede!

Thomas Frank about to switch tactic to cross and nod.
Time for General Holding!

Trrrrooosssaaarrrrddddd baby
