True, Tavarez got a lot of untapped potential that if utilised very well will make him become devastating. This guy can attack and loves attack well and he's still young. I just hope Arteta improves his game especially from next season.

Ystdy match eh, my heart just dey my mouth. The way both of us they ball ourselves as well as being Very cautious at the back meant both teams really wanted the win. See the way Moyes take they put attackers later. Thank goodness for our two CBs that made the day.

We just need to win Leeds and hope Liverpool wins Tottenham. Then we try not to lose against Tottenham. With that, top 4 hopes is 90% in our hands. My big joy is that Tottenham have Liverpool

With the form of Kane and Son, I'm afraid the bolded will not count...let's just win our matches.
Did you see Son's second goal against leceister yesterday? Omo...e enter body

Jodera:
I still dey ask.
What happened to the Tavarez of first half of the season? He wasn't bad like this na.

Nketiah with a fine game. Started slowly then grew into the game midway through the first half. Love his desire going for goals and was unlucky not to hit the back of the net today, I also think it was his shots which forced the corners we capitalised on in scoring the two goals. Also loved the way he held up the ball today. Seems to be improving in that aspect.

Hope Tomi and Saka isn't out oo. It Would be very bad if we lose those two again to injuries.

Tight and nervy game but glad with the gritty win. Holding first EPL goal for us was very very crucial. Defenders' goals served us today. It's been a long time we've scored through cross and nod(holding and Gabriel).

Elneny and Xhaka had an Okay game, but I'll rate Xhaka ahead of his partner today. Nice through pass from Elneny to Nketiah during the 2nd half. World class passers would be proud

Nice 3 points, back to top 4, happy wins

Coyg!!

Nketiah needs to improve his finishing though...
Imagine it was ESR or Martinelli with those chances....no doubt,one will have entered.

Saka and Tomi should be fine...

Saka was tired and Tomi had a slight tightness in his calf. They should rub aboniki balm on that calf o cos we need him to face Son.

BlueRayDick:
I have issues with Richarlison’s temper. Fielding him and Xhaka in a tough game like City fit result to two red cards in one match o.

I don’t have issues with his footballing ability but I feel like a player with his kind of temperament can be best managed a coach like Diego Simeone

You have a point about his temperament. I noticed it too but his footballing ability is just great

johnjunior39:
No thanks bros, I will rather stick to Nikky

You mean you'll pick Pepe ahead of Richarlison? Quite funny

50d33q:
Sign the 2 lads

which means Martinelli and ESR will start from the bench. Not bad really... Martinelli to back up Richarlison and ESR to back up Ode...which means we still need another striker.

yinkeys:
Our boy has been converted to utility player Ainsley - Maitland - Niles
Better to have game time than not play at all

You get it... though there is nothing bad in being an utility player but playing at RWB is risky. He doesn't have the pace and stamina. It was a lucky escape for Everton yesterday.

Nelson scored for feyenoord today... It's like he won't be coming back here...

By the way, is there anyway we can sign Richarlison if Gabriel Jesus won't be coming again?

The guy is good

johnjunior39:
Nketiah will be a great striker honestly, if only he will forget about if to start or not and try to develop himself. Next season he will be explosive that guy positioning is awesome is finishing that is remaining small. He is always looking for beautiful goals

I agree....the way he singlehandedly carned out chances for himself today was commendable.

Today's match was a comic relief...I just dey laugh....
Tavarez with his peacock hairstyle go dey jump up yet he go still miss the ball...
The way Nketiah just dey bully Zouma ehn...

All in all, I'll take the ugly win especially as Chelsea lost..

My only regret is our 3 consecutive loss ...

Chai...we for dey 3rd by now

Spy360:
White has a tight hamstring. Chance for Holding to prove if we need his services next season with Saliba set to return.

West Ham rested two key players- Antonio and Soucek.

Saliba will have to show he is better than Holding. This team needs Holding next season

Lampard playing Iwobi as a RWB today is a criminal offence...
Everton were lucky they won..

komekn:
Just the same way he has benched a proven and tested over a decade world class striker in Lukaku.

So who is the real clown �

You're the clown here....
If Tammy has half of those qualities you mentioned, you think Tuchel would have let him go.
If you had mentioned Haaland,it'd have been better but Tammy?

I'm still waiting for your answer...which club did you coached and in which year?

andrewbaba44:
No be like that dem Dey judge player oooo

If Tammy really had those qualities he has been mentioning since, you think Tuchel' would have let him go?

TheLoneCitizen:
A manager's discernment does not determine quality, brother.

This same Tuchel let Tomori go for Sarr.

I know....
But the way he was hyping the guy here made me say so

Make we use this one hold body

BlueRayDick:
A very cold picture : unbothered Martinelli carrying the whole Chelsea team Trabaye after Kante slipped

The ref sef couldn't help it

Schemerkhiz:
Didn't you watch the AWCON qualifying game against CIV?

Alozie was a major culprit at the Aisha Buhari Cup last year but she came back stronger...

They all plays in top league such as the WSL, NSWL, French League which is very Physically challenging too...

Note; Esther Okoronkwo is a very stubborn Player so exclude her from this your taught.. if you watch their league games against Lyon this season you would see how she gave tough defenders like Wendie Renard and Buchanan problems..

Ok

komekn:
.

Context of my comments is very clear, I mentioned differing attributes that players are associated with.

Tega Abraham for such a tall guy is known for mesmerising skill, sublime touch and technicality. Of course goals as well. Tega is just one of the many l mentioned.

What's your issue with Tega, does Osimhen have his technicality and sublime touch with skill?

So Tega has these qualities and Tuchel let him go? You're a comic relief really

GeneralDae:
Surprising, because until 2016 final against Cameroon in African football for as far as I can remember, we were mainly a possession team. Under these foreign coaches, our tactics have been so different.

Out there, what the whites thought of African football is physicality. That's why some of African footballers are converted to DMs (Mikel is an example)
So when an African team hires a foreign coach, the coach will sometimes ignore the technical prowess of that team and utilises the physical aspect.
NB...I'm just saying my opinion, these are some of the things I've noticed lately

Schemerkhiz:
The ones you're calling Newbies have already tasted the Physical aspect of the African game of recent against Mali, Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire except few, Maybe one or two games against an African side that Play with a lot of power and pace eg The Congolese, Central Africa Republic, Zambia and Senegal side can pose those physical threat but will go down for sure..

Really? I'm talking about Ashleigh,Alozie,Ify,Esther...
Never knew they already featured against those teams you mentioned

Roland17:
The 6th best young best player na for una own list and calculations.

For my list na number 1 and the GOAT of young players and it is not up for a debate

Alright chief

Jodera:

Na so...make dem.no distract my guy.
He was handing her the award in one shot, then he faced the camera while doing his 'are you entertained?' celebration by pointing to her...

Roland17:
Omo Ologo the GOAT!

Make nobody disagree or argue with me this morning oh!

The 6th best young player in the world. Who dare argue with you? He should come out

Alfryd:
I could prefer we play Africa team

I second this.... Either Morocco or Tunisia.... We can play another physical team like Cameroon to properly induct the newbies to the era of gidigbo football

isan:
i think it will be a bit different this time
we are never dominating possession but we can hurt them with counter with the pace in our attack

To be honest, I admire the SA team. They are quite fit, fast and I like how they dominate possession but their problem is that they lack that X-factor and cutting edge anytime they meet us...they need someone to take charge..Thembi is trying but they need more. Super falcons is not a possession team, we are pacy and physical so the fast counter attack tactic is our major strength.

Kog45:
I remember a day his Dad caned him for messing up in goal post in one of Kwara U13 cup competition,then he was with street club known as PACO utd.I remember the day young Dele signed for Kwara Star,his first professional club before moving to Enyimba.

Dele started very young so I wasn't surprised seeing him back in NPFL,honestly we can have true age for our under age teams.I said it here that a friend who am older than was in Nigeria U 17 camp going to Japan in 1993 with his true age,he was in SSS3 class then but later dropped for Celestine Babayaro.

NFF should go to schools and academies for real U17 boys though I really appreciate them for the national U15 tourney going on in Ogun state.

I agree...there are some talents in our secondary schools but I'm not sure about the age aspect. There are a lot of 18-year olds in secondary schools nowadays. I still think the government should focus more on the U15 tourney.

daveP:
I love what he's doing with his son. In no time, he'll be in u17 colors and follow his dad's footsteps. People like Enyeama, Ejide, Ikeme, Aiyenugba, are the kind of goalkeeper trainers we need. We are still selecting pree 2000s guys for this aspect. Smh.

Some dont even understand this accurate distribution craze in the gk world right now. I noticed its a thing in PSL and GL. Hopefully, our football just stop dozing and catches up on loopholes

Exactly..let's see What Ike shorunmu will offer.

komekn:
Before you respond it's wisdom to consider the context in which comments are made.

Somebody said Victor O has EVERYTHING to be a world class Striker. I disagreed with a rhetorical question ❓

So respond in context please.

Victor O has pace , and unbridled murderous aggressive rage and determination coupled with relentless hard work.

That's his DNA

He is not technically astute and gifted.

What if I tell you I have everything to be a Nigerian president, does that mean I will be the president tomorrow?
Victor has everything to be a world class striker, that doesn't mean he is a world class yet but he needs to improve I'm some aspects of his game. This is simple but the hate and disgust you have for our HG players here made you twist that statement to suit your destructive criticism...SMH
And also, for someone who claimed to have coached before, saying there is nothing a 23-year old player can learn again is an embarrassment to your personality. In fact, it is a comic relief coming from you.

And don't forget to tell us the name of the club where and when you coached

I'm waiting

isan:
I hope it wouldn't be the same story of south Africa dominating possession and Nigeria unable to string 2 or 3 passes together

we all know how it always end

Focus son, focus....

So Dele Aiyenugba is still playing? ...

@39 years, playing for kwara United....his son, Daniel is currently at the U15 tourney in Ogun State.

komekn:
Does he have the first touch of Messi

The two footed precision accuracy of Kane

The skill and dexterity of Ronaldo

The dribbling ability of Neymar.

The Brute strength and physicality of Lukaku.

Be realistic he is very good but a long way off from World class.

I'm still waiting for you to tell us the exact club you coached before oga.
BTW, all you posted here are rubbish. While I agree that Victor needs to improve, tell me a single player that possess all those skills you listed above. Osimehn has his own quality and skillset already...all he needs is some improvement in some aspects.
