It's remarkable how you have continuously for the past 4/5 seasons, just presented myriad of misinformation and disinformation. Nwakali has had a career of consistent continuous downward spiral of mediocrity.

What you are doing is ludicrous and outright misleading to suit your self birthed deceptive agenda and narrative.

Which is NWAKALI is the best Nigerian Midfielder.

I've said and not just with hearsay but substantiated it with comparison analysis. My conclusion, that the Segunda division is a low level league and of poor quality. Your response was that there were players above 21 in Villa Real B team , the same thing applies with EPL U21 teams. First team players use the U21 to get match fit after injury. I once watched Balotelli playing for Manchester city U21.

You've brought out these statistics, it's irrelevant the league is very poor, but more so when you're consider the club almost bankrupt and has no money. That's reflected in the low quality of players they can afford.

Unfortunately, "na money deh kill beta Soup"

Statistics have to be seen in context of the quality of the league and team. Statistics in themselves are not conclusive but indicative.

Stats say a player makes 40 passes but what type of passport is it or the quality of the pass, we don't know. It could be simply 40 kick &rush long balls hoofed up the pitch to a tree trunk giant striker.

Ponferradina would get flogged by most teams in English League two and quite a few at a national conference league. Ponferradina has done nothing of substance in this poor league and there is a simple reason, it's a poor quality league and team sitting permanently in the relegation zone.

Oga rest...all these na shalaye.
Onyedinma and Onomah wey you dey force on us here that time, were their stats not similar to this.

Nwakali is not good. We agree... oya rest IJN

TheSuperNerd:
Philosopher1979, take these words above seriously. It is coming from one of the many Arsenal fans here. I can list almost all the Arsenal fans on this thread but ain't no way Nerdie's name pops up in that list.

Any news on Valentine Ozonwafor?

This victory sweet... I like the tears from those talkative fans.
Ramsdale almost cost us. Gabriel had that corner under control, he shouldn't have punched the ball since he knew he wouldn't push it so far.

See that drive, the dribble, the way he glided through United's defence.... Whoever scouted Trossard deserve a pay raise.

The way he played is what I expected from Martinelli.

Bluelines69:
Arteta desperately wants to win this game, and it might hurt him again….that first leg pain am too much and Ten Hag knows that

Then he should calm down

Make Arteta sef calm down. it's unlike him to be this emotional. Calm down and study the opponent. And Martinelli needs to be moving inside their box. Staying on the sideline is what they want him to do. Come inside and let Xhaka overlap.

Arsenal is jittery. we're not playing our game. I understand sha. White and Partey are sleeping. Bring in Tomi and Trossard abeg.

Philosopher1979:
Ah! I got it. U are an Arsenal fan. I now know the club u support vat last. U have been hiding it

He can never be an Arsenal fan. Arsenal fans plenty for this thread but he is surely not one.

damagnificentusb:
An 18year old Renato Sanchez was bullying everybody at the 2916 euros.

You must be from the future sir.
Who later win the 2023 election?

iamoyindamola:
No
Odegaard is taller

Well...I don't care about his height. Just bang in those goals...o pari

iamoyindamola:
I mean he's short

Pope will win the golden glove and the keeper of the season

Not that short. Same height as Ode, Saka and Martinelli.

Jodera:
He didn't even want to stay sef.

But then, his exploits here was by no means a failure or near that. That itself was a success as far as loan goes!

I agree

AndSunGorilla:
If true, really sad for the victim.

But Alves really disappoint o. All those money and the fame yet you resorted to r*ping a 23-year old. Something wey you fit get in return for selfie.

iamoyindamola:
No..he's way better

Ok

Jodera:
You're making it look as if he was a flop or he was that bad when he certainly wasn't.

He is not but things did not work out.

Roland17:
Martinelli had better get his form right and improve on his recent display, else, he would find himself strapped to the bench. Trossad is no scrub, helps defensively and a big game player who would want to be a starter.

Could he really be affected by Jesus absence.

Jodera:
Anything wey Madrid give us, I no dey reject am again

Because of Ode. For every Ode, there is a Ceballos o

Heard we want collect Camavinga on loan. For what exactly? The guy na another Lokonga abeg

TheGoodJoe:
Even that analyst missed that TOTAL FOOTBALL is Rinus Michels and not Cruyff.

Ok Prof

Jodera:
Maybe my guy looked at Abraham, James, Mount and other Cobhams boys like Chalobah that is playing and thought Chelsea don dey give yoots chance. Him no know the reason why they had that chance at first.

Well... Na make him dey pray sha

Even at that, Chelsea products no dey last. How many of their academy boys have been performing lately?

Jodera:
you see ..
And most players (attackers) nowadays are more technical than brutes.

Exactly

TheGoodJoe:
This possession stuff is ages before Cruyff. Cruyff's boss, coached him in the national team, Ajax and Barcelona, Rinus Michels made lots of breakthrough.

Alright. But a simple search from my end here shows Johan Cruyff invented tikitaka.

Izurejoice:
I imagine his faith now, the players between him and first team

He chose the money bro which was a big mistake. Players in their 30s or with financial burden are those who should be going for money not kids wey still dey learn how to play corners.
BTW boss, which app is this?

kokaneprodigy:
What y’all think?

Fair enough. We're with our 'lucky ring' this time around so whichever ref officiates is Ok.

Jodera:
it's surprising when I heard he left us for Chelsea. Someone that was training with the first team as at December throughout to May last season. While I'm not angry he left arsenal cos it's his choice but my surprise is.... Why Chelsea?

That's the least club that gives chance to youngsters. Except maybe, it's because of money

Chelsea wey dey use loan kill player's career. Dem go send you on loan sotey you sef go tire. Person wey suppose go on loan, develop and find club wey go buy am permanently.

Jodera:
Lol... To close up games or to be subbed in, I agree.

But to be starting Matches?

Holding isn't that bad ooo, but I won't term him solid sha

Of course, he has limitations. If you are playing against strikers like Diego Costa, Holding is your man. He is rugged and tough. But against technical players, he will struggle. Example is that Tottenham match last season. He couldn't handle Son and he got sent off.

TheGoodJoe:

I have made it easy for you and I have connected as easily as you can ever get.

Possession heavy football is Guardiola's gift to modern day football. Anyone you see doing it today studied him and Drew from him.

In a nutshell, with possession heavy football gaining popularity, tiki taka is not dying.

I have clarified enough. The only thing you can do now is go through my post and tell me if there are points that are wrong.

I have given a good summary to bring you up to speed.

What's Cryuff's philosophy sir? I thought he was the one who started all this tikitaka stuff

Off topic
Dani Alves has been sentenced to prison without bail for allegedly r*ping a 23 year old at a night club in Barcelona on 30th December last year. He will be transferred to jail.

So sad mehn

Valentine Ozonwafor has not been playing lately. Wetin dey occur

daveP:
Exactly. Just iwobi right now. Dunno about Eze situation sha, but Onyedika is doing well. Will be glad if he syncs asap.

Olise and Eze are also options but I didn't mention them because I'm concerned about their defensive aspect and also because they're not our players.
Alhassan is also an option but I've not watched him.

Chelsea don sign another winger sef... Noni Madueke. You all should be able to remember him from our PSV game.
