Oldboss:
Maurizio Sarri revealing as far
back as in 2019 that the 26-year-old tends
to experience stomach cramps before
games out of sheer nervousness, this was What Sorry said and it happened during FA cup final I just pray it won't happen when we play vardrid

Thank you boss.
But does this make him a poor defender? No
But some things like this needs to be considered especially on a day he is the team's last resort as far as defence is concerned. That is my point.

BlaqFaze:
He missed the Barca game because he has ill...stop believing all these media hypes and lies.

How did you know it's because of mental issues he missed the fa cup match...that stupid rumour came out because he had already agreed a deal to sign for Barca

Barca will never sign a player with question marks

I don't know why you're making this a big deal. It's just what I've noticed about him.
At the bolded,how do both correlate? How did agreeing a deal with Barca stopped him from playing a final match?
Just so you know, he claimed to be ill too that morning of the FA cup final matchday. Sarri also complained of him being nervous and having stomach cramp before matches.

Imagine we have pique and Christensen fit for a match but he got nervous and decided not to play that match.

jpmoriarti:
Did he have disorder when he played them in the first leg?

I'm not referring to that Bayern game alone. I'm talking of long term reliability. It's something I've read about him. He pulled out of Chelsea's FA cup final match last season due to anxiety. Sarri also mentioned something similar about him. Infact, there was a match Barca played early this season (a final of some sort) which he missed due to the same reason.

Jodera:
Lol, you should know Partey is African. Born and bred in Africa. Played in African club before heading to athletico, had some loan before breaking into the first team

My point for all these things is that him done old, so it's old age that's showing now that he's claiming 29yrs. In fact, he's not injury prone in la Liga as he missed only 6 games in his years in athletico.

I'm just grateful he's giving us world class performances consistently. All he just needs is for arsenal to manage him properly and have correct person on standby to play when he's not available, reason why I'm against him being sold.

Him quality dey very very hard to find

You're right sha

Jodera:
Arsenal really try for this matter. I'm glad arsenal wade into it. I also read that it was constant communication with Ghana Fa that made dem not to play Partey ystdy If they suspect anything.

Kudos to arsenal and the management for doing this. Dem don try

Mtchew....the guy just dey give the management problem. He should go back to Ghana and collect better herb. See the way Dem dey monitor am likea Vegetable garden.

Shegzdave:
For real?
Those guys won’t kee person with the nature of their injuries sometimes

He tripped when coming out of the bathroom. That's what I heard.

I'm just fed up of all these useless injuries.

iamoyindamola:

Village people they abroad too

E get where village people no dey? Make God help us ni jare

jpmoriarti:
We have enough cover this time around. Pique can show he's not finished yet. Christensen is there too. Eric García etc.

I'm not worried

We can't rely on Christensen. He has something similar to anxiety disorder (not sure). He might develop blood pressure just by having the thought of playing Bayern. I hope you understand me

Geld:
Why am I relaxed?...who do I feel that all these are hogwash just to make our players come back before scheduled time?...
Untill we hear from Club official website,all these are lies from Media

It might even be Laporta doing the underground work with the journalist who knows

That was why I said they may be playing a script. Let's wait and see sha

iamoyindamola:
Na why I propose sell doll
If he nack to much he fit get injury sef

I'm just fed up of the guy.

Last season, I heard Tierney got injured just by stepping out of his bathroom.

zuchyblink:
No one is talking about Olise again

why should we talk about him?

lordofstrings:
Atleast okoye better pass Ward Leicester goalkeeper

At least Ward Sabi catch small shots na...
Okoye na Ward pro max

do4luv14:
I understand bros, But pitied him, His Injury layoff, And inactivity at Club level,

Abeg make una pity am, Abeg

Pity who? Does the national team looks like a place where Dem dey serve pity?
The guy is not just good... If not for something else, should he be starting ahead of Uzoho in any match?

January should just come asap so we can get Douglaz Luiz or Danilo. I'm tired of this Partey matter. He is an African for God's sake. To comot boxer sef is risky for him, he might break his waist in doing so.

Meanwhile our women just gave the Spurs a resounding thumping. The men should prepare to do more abeg

iamoyindamola:
They should buy him sex doll to do the do too

guy..

kingphilip:
Is this a reincarnation of sheyi or what?

Cc: chriskelz

I thought I was the only one who noticed.

fabyom:
Iwobi and Nwakali do mark now. Go watch their games. Also, it depends on the coach's tactical prowess. Football has evolved. One of the CB can step into the midfield to support. The wingbacks can also slide into the midfield to add more bodies since the formation allows for natural wingers to dominate on the wings.

like you said, It can only work with 3 at the back formation with one of the defenders (Ndidi) stepping into midfield Or in a Midfield 3. But currently in the 442 JP is using, it can never work against a top team. Being defensive is not just about marking sir. Both are somewhat DLPs, they need a DM beside them to function properly.

isan:
So that means the coach favor her ?

If that's how you see it.

codemaniacs:
You didn't mention any DM so I assumed your forward players will be Simon osimhen moffi chukwueze and your midfield will be nwakali and iwobi with no DM then aina omeruo ajayi bassey in defense. That's what I assumed.

Due to the people and coaches Currently managing Nigerian football it's impossible to have starting midfield four.

I was actually countering the opinion. I was not the one who opined the idea. Check who I quoted again please

What if the players are acting Xavi's script? This is more than strange.

charlesemeka85:
mk dem try am our midfield go be Lagos Ibadan express way

Exactly. Both are not that defensively sound to protect the Midfield.

codemaniacs:
I understand your post and I'm also talking of a lineup.

I'm not sure you understand. If not, why would you say I'm used to a lean midfield? Isn't Nwakali and Iwobi a lean Midfield?

BTW, playing Iwobi, nwakali, Ndidi and Onyedika as a Midfield 4? Well, it's not impossible.

Deltamani:
Maclean’s Chinonyerem

ok...she looks different

codemaniacs:
Your problem is you're used to the lean midfield Nigerian coaches use.

Nigeria should have a starting midfield four of iwobi nwakali Ndidi onyedika while bonke onyeka alhassan-yusuf etebo should be on the bench..

For Nigeria to be successful at least 7 midfielders should always be called up.

I don't think you understand my post. Oga Fan want us to have a Midfield of Nwakali and Iwobi in a 442 against Algeria!

We're talking of a lineup here not the general squad.

isan:
How is Onumonu randy favorite? at the Awcon which CF is there to play ? we need kanu and Ajibade for the wings

She was tired in that Morocco match yet she was not substituted. Fingers crossed sha

fabyom:
Alhassan will flop in Super Eagles. I have watched him play. I don't see him fit the profile of a National team player. However, Nwakali will excel in JP system. He is the type of DM/CM he needs. Can pass, shoot and dribble. I would have loved to see Nwakali and Iwobi's midfield 2 against Algeria.

You can't have a Midfield duo of Iwobi and Nwakali especially against a top team like Algeria. Both of them are not so good defensively which means our midfield will be an expressway. Infact, Iwobi and Etebo played well because Sao Tome was a lesser team.

TheSuperNerd:
Alhassan won't flop. He is brainier than several of our midfield players in the middle game. He won't flop. And you obviously haven't watched him enough. You need to take your time to watch him without bias before making statements that won't age well.

Alhassan is better than Frank Onyeka both from tactical and technical points of views and we need that compared to a lad whose main attribute is running around, covering grounds like a headless work merchant.


And K.Nwakali will definitely fit right in and a midfield of himself and Iwobi is indeed tactically feasible

sir super analyst, explain this please. I want to learn

Deltamani:
MC

Who?

Bigzigg:
Sorry, Desire will rather make way than Onumonu.

This Onumonu sef... She should sit up. Her performance at the AWCON was poor

Deltamani:
Tony Payne can actually slot in the Right Back position if the need arises and Alozie moved to the bench, Desire Oparanozie is more a sure banker as her return will kick Maclean’s out going by experience too. Ify is Randy favourite Striker, he would even try dropping her last last he would only bench her except injury that can result to her dropping..

Monday Gift to come in for who?
Peace Efih for who?

Toni is too intelligent to be playing as a FB for us. Ify being Randy's favourite is not helping matters. The CF position needs to be thrown open. Going to World cup with Desire and Ify as the strikers will not be a nice decision.

Okobi can always make way for Efih.

elyte89:
Abi na...from our senior analyst

Baby analyst you mean. There is only one senior analyst on this thread.

Jodera:
This our defence ehh, na strong roadblock. Ivan Toney run sotey him tire. Mbeumo run sotey my guy eye turn am.
Speed, Jam-body, ruggedity, those guys go Man up to you.

Plus the fact that Partey no dey even give space for their Midfielders to dey throw correct pass, instead na hopeless pass into space, you go understand why the duo of Toney and Mbeumo frustrate today

You don talk am finish.
As Jesus dey lead the press in front, Partey dey block their midfielders and then there are Saliba and Gabby in defence. If at all the opponent manage to pass these people, there is Rammy at the back. I really wish our B team could be at least half as efficient as the main team
