These are the one I was expecting jodera to mention
They always have their moments and nothing spectacular
My hatred for English players is because of the media that over hype them
If they are really good individually they suppose win WC like 5 times

Na true... But they may be able to achieve something with a good coach though.

Jorginho is coming

AkinDS:
In answering your question, No.

I think the list Randy released for the upcoming Women's Revelation Cup will pretty much make up the squad for the WWC.
Three people who were not on the list and who will likely be considered are Nicole Payne, Debbie Ajibola and Gift Monday.
Nicole has had more activity over the past year (National team and USC) - close to 20 games... Zogg has been injured for the most part.

Realistically, I really don't see any 'outsider' (i.e. anyone who hasn't been a part of the team in the last year, of which Zogg is) making the final squad.

Debbie Ajibola or Deborah Abiodun?
If you're referring to Deborah Abiodun, she still has a long way to go. Otu, Ucheibe and Ayinde are ahead of her right now. Very soon, she will be added to the gold but right now, the WC is too early for her.

iamoyindamola:
He's black too
And I don't rate him too he's gidigbo type I prefer cancelo, all these English players you see mentioning I personally don't like them

Ramsdale and Ben White?

iamoyindamola:
Saka is not English English

Lol... He is English Yoruba then

TheGoodJoe:
When Guardiola plays two upfront, he likes to have a runner playing as full back. That was why he signed Mendy in the first place
In the Arsenal game, he switched to a two with Haaland and Alvarez. That was why Walker came in.

With respect to Zinchenko, he offered that deep lying play maker role but many times, caught out of position, which caused us pressure.

They are all Wonderful players but, Rico Lewis leads in intelligent passing play and I think that is why Pep is feeling the guy.

Arteta couldn't find an immediate answer to that tactical switch.
Yea... Zinchenko do get caught out of position at times.

Danielnino00:
The team in yellow is Bendel insurance I think..
Remo Stars also fly regularly to their away games..I think they have a sponsorship deal with this new airline, flyvalue jet..

But Remo and Bendel insurance are the most professionally run clubs so far this season ...

Yea..you're right. Bendel insurance is on yellow.

I'm not sure their flights are sponsored though like Remo stars.

komekn:
Onyekuru is simply not the crowd favorite here , he hasn't been outstanding but then he is not really liked.

You're wrong.
Personally, he used to be my favorite player. His goal exploits in Belgium drew my attention to him. His name also popped up here when Vicmo retired and there were talks of who best will replace him. His downward career trajectory since he moved to Monaco is why many of us stopped mentioning him.

TheGoodJoe:

I think we are experiencing another tactical switch and it has a lot to do with Rico Lewis.

I have always respected Joao Cancelo as a top quality full back. Very creative with the ball, overlaps with intensity and presses the right zones.

However, Rico Lewis brings something different, he controls the centre like a deep lying playmaker. Seems this is what Guardiola thinks it is key.

Nathan Ake is also insane with that too. Meaning, no room for Cancelo. Cancelo is not happy because he believes he should start regularly but the tide is changing.

Wish him the best but I believe in the passing game over all and we need more passers than runners.

All you said about Lewis here is exactly what Zinchenko offers which begs the question, why did Pep let go of Zinchenko?
Pep sef.... man will do, undo and redo.
It took him just two substitutions (Walker and Julian) to outsmart Arteta on Friday

Shooting stars and Gombe Utd don dey use plane now....
We need NPFL to be televised though

Jodera:
Lol... I know say Sod just weak as him see Spy reply.

iamoyindamola:
I no rate rice don't know why
Typical english lad

Bro..Rice is good o.
Saka is English too going by your judgement.
Normally, English players are sometimes overrated but there are still some among them that are authentically good. Rice is one of them.

Spy360:
If Awilo goes on loan who will be Partey's backup seeing Elneny is injured?

Sod I can confidently say you cannot run a company.

Prove me otherwise

Spy, you like unnecessary arguments sha
Even, I want Sambi out on loan but there is no replacement. You didn't understand his post.

kokaneprodigy:
You also need glasses. The rule says clearly prevents him from getting the ball. He marked him till he slipped.

Since the Man-U debate y’all have claimed every offside call after that is similar to that of Man-U. Even someone with an eye and half a brain won’t watch that video and tell you it’s similar.

But Rashford's run also prevented Akanji from getting the ball na.

benji93:
Are you serious? Are you comparing Iheanacho to Daka now? Shame no even dey catch you.

There is no comparison, just logic. Since Nacho has to score hattrick against 4th tier side to impress you, why didn't Saka who started the match score too? Remember Nacho was just on for 5 minutes before he scored.

thank you

Jodera:
He's playing next week against Everton.

Hopefully, he's given us lifeline for us to really get a good Midfielder

Hallelujah

Arsenal submit a second offer worth up to £70m for Moises Caicedo but Brighton want £80m for their star midfielder.

[Simon Jones daily Mail]

Make we add that 10M abeg.

johnjunior39:
I don't source brotherly but saw it somewhere been worried like is my family business.

Cost what if it true , howwwwwwww do we survive with a ball watching midfielder

The injury may not be that serious bro...
It is his ribs according to report

ObaIgwe1:
I read he put in transfer request ( not sure how true). It's not about the right price this time, Brighton doesn't wanna sell... because even at 40m Brighton is making a massive gain on him.

I pray the deal goes through, either way we MUST get a very good DM this time if we don't wanna bottle our chances again. Partey and Elneney are injured, and Awilo has proven incapable for that position.

But I will prefer also that we get a DM that is EPL proven, the one that can hit the ground running. If not, then it is better to groom White or Tomi for the role at this time.

This is our best chance to win something, the league or Europa.. we must not fail just cos of one player deficiency... Else we might not be able to hold some of our golden players for long.

Bro has even posted his farewell speech on Instagram. Brighton should let him go.

JohnBullMySon:
If this is the meaning, then that is a bit silly from Osimhen. Lookman is his countryman and they are not drawn rivals.

Bro, it's a banter.

charlesemeka85:
the guy is just another burnaboy outside football pitch

Wait o, you Sabi Yoruba abi how you take understand his post.

jihday:
Osimhen have replied Lookman

Osimehn is one kind of personality outside football.

Jodera:
I just rewatched the clip again and this time without the tension of the match and coupled with Jen.cejyde explanations too, I certainly don't think Odegaard did anything wrong in calling him to order.

I mean, Odegaard pointed at him to Mark that zone (plus player) In order for Man city not get out of that press while he (Odegaard) started out with the press. It's really frustrating after giving your all to a cause only to find out that it's been made futile. It would have been a different case if Odegaard didn't instruct Sambi as well as showing the way.

It's really frustrating sha and 95% of us will do same thing esp if we really CARE!!

Thank you. That 'pointing' is exactly why I was furious with Sambi.

johnjunior39:
I am not sure Papa Xhaka saw him because what is the meaning of that?

I just watch the clip, I would have done worse walahi even petit attacking midfielder is defending and you are strolling around.

There is difference between low - confidence and zero interest.



Wo, no be lokogna dey do me, Partey is injured for whopping two months biko how do we salvage this, not sure Brighton is ready to sell Caicedo

2 months? Your source bro.
The last time I checked, they have not done the scan.

TheGoodJoe:
Nathan Ake silences Bukayo Saka and upstages Erling Haaland by scoring FA Cup winner against Arsenal to show why Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola loves him so much

He added: “When we talk about the margins of this game, you’ve got to turn round and say Ake dealing with Saka [was vital].

“I think Saka is Arsenal’s key, ace player, arguably been their best player over a few months. I don’t think there was once Saka got the wrong side of him”...Stuart Pearce (former England and Manchester City Manager)

I knew you will never agree since it concerns City. Ake didn't silence Saka yesterday. The tactic Arteta employed yesterday was to force city to play the long ball tactic and it was working until Partey had to go off. Saka didn't even finish the match.

Roland17:
I think Spy360 already addressed some. This isn’t about Awilo’s response, obvious poor play or mentality but about Odegaard’s reaction as CAPTAIN. For all I care, Turner, Xhaka, Gabu or even Saka can chew the kid up with that type of obvious reaction but not your captain. I mean even if he was upset, which he has every right to be, his outbursts, flaying of hands is the wrong reaction because you have ended up singling him out.

We saw Turner’s performance yesterday and in previous games, why is he not going to yell at Turner? Leadership is different bro, it is totally different on so many levels. I have nothing against chewing the kid out and giving him an earful but that was not the place or how to do it. That was a teaching moment for Odegaard to help Awilo with his confidence and issues. You think Awilo doesn’t know he played poorly? You think he isn’t aware he let the team down in some ways?

We have fragile fans who watch at the stadium and historically can be toxic, even though they have gotten better this season. The Arteta we know before will not hesitate to throw Awilo under the bus during the press conference but he has matured and rather spoke glowingly of the kid but that doesn’t mean he will be kind to kid in training or dressing room. He just knows that he is supposed to protect the kid and his team first!

I have rewatched the clip. Do you know why Ode shouted at him? Sambi was probably feeling too big to mark.
Twice, I repeat twice...Ode pointed at Gundogan and instructed Sambi to mark him but Sambi refused. Saliba was supposed to mark Alvarez while Sambi stays infield to mark Gundogan but just stood without pressing.
Ode did nothing wrong whether as a captain or a player.

iamoyindamola:
Awilo is collecting time 5 of his wages

This life no balance...

Jodera:


Well, he's their player bound under contract. Let's see how it goes

Brighton has given him a 4-day break to sort himself and get prepared for the second half of the season.

Jodera:
Lol...na now you dey know?
Person wey dey earn 5k pounds a week

This is slavery o. Players wey no good reach am dey collect 200k per week. If Brighton block this move, they're enemy of success.

Omo..Caicedo is earning 180k per year. As in 180k? Not even up to a week salary of some players. Jesus Christ!
