Philosopher1979:
HOW NIGERIAN LEAGUE CAN IMPROVE

The Nff and government should make it a law that no
Nigerian footballer should leave Nigeria before the age of 28.
Most of our best footballers go through football academies and leave without even playing in the nigerian league
The few good ones in our league leave after a few years or even months.

Imagine if Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze, Obinna Nwobodo, Keneth Omeruo, Peter Etebo etc were in Enyimba
They would win many international trophies in African football.
This law should be in place for 15 years.
Also our local clubs should patronize football academies for players.
If there is a law players cant leave before 28, football academies will be forced to sell there players to Nigerian clubs
and not European agents to make money

This measure should be put in place until our league can stand on its on.

It does not work this way bro. Truly,our league will develop but we will be so poor internationally.

TheGoodJoe Parker has invented a new tactic, wingers are wingers in attack but fullbacks in defense

4-3-3 attack, 6-3-1 defense

Invented ke?

Jodera:
Yes, I know we don't have quality players but the style of play made us to be worse than what we currently are so that's why most of the blames are on him. If the team was creating chances and style of play was somehow good, less blame will be on him and more fingers will be pointed at the board to improve the players

I concur

Erm...we fit add flop of the year to the award categories?
it will serve as some kind of motivation.
The gift won't be a problem, we will wrap sugar cane and present it to the winner.

This one still carry me for mind and e never move on with him strong head like tanker

I dont have time for people with low self esteem

Face front

Baba , make una do well for that committee o. No tell anybody to go sit down for Bush o

Jodera:
If we're playing the way we played ystdy, I don't think the Blame should have been much on him like that. With the play of ystdy, we can obviously hope on improvement and even see that our players are really limited.
But he parking the bus against the Aston Villa levels(midtable teams), that's solely on him and not the board. And unfortunately, that's how we've been playing this season

But we all know we no longer have quality players . I'm not exonerating him but the board too didn't help matter.
The best solution now is to do a clear out, make we start afresh.

Arteta shouldn't take all the blame. I even pity the guy. The board take the larger share of the blame.
At this point, we should go and gather all the academy players and play them..

Ok, on arseblog, some fans think Arteta is over coaching the players. They feel that his constant shouting from the touchline is preventing the players from expressing themselves.

On David Luiz after his clash of heads with Jimenez…


David is okay. He has a nasty cut [on his head]. He was conscious, they [the medical team] did all the tests for him and he was completely fine. But he wasn’t comfortable playing with that. Obviously, we’re really worried for Jimenez because it looked really nasty. 


On it being obvious both players had a problem…


Yes, when you see the reaction of the players, that’s concerning obviously. You know that something bad is happening. We’d like to send him our best wishes, our love to him and to his family as well who are suffering. Hopefully, it’s not as bad as it looks. 


On Luiz continuing to play…


First, the doc has to check [the player], there’s a protocol to check that he hasn’t lost any consciousness, which he didn’t. They have some tests they have to do before putting him back on the pitch. David was just concerned about the cut nothing else. They will continue to do some checks in the next three hours but he was fine. 


On why he took Luiz off…


He was very uncomfortable, he could not really head the ball. Obviously, a central defender that cannot head the ball cannot continue playing football. 


On the performance…


A really bad result. The performance in the first half, we had our moments and they had two shots on target and scored twice. We had a great reaction in the second half, we went all for it. The team showed their desire and how much they wanted to win the game. We created opportunities, we created the chances and the goal didn’t arrive. Obviously, I’m disappointed because I think we merited more from the game. 


On if he’s concerned by the home form…


It is when you lose three games in a row for different reasons. Obviously, I’m really concerned and I’m responsible for that. I must say that the reaction the team had, the way we played the second half, it was what I expect from them with more quality, more ability. At the end, the desire and the willingness to go and get a result was there. 


On the lack of goals…


We have to put the ball in the net. We created chances but in the end, it’s about putting the ball in the net. In the first half, they had two shots on target and they scored two goals. One with a little deflection and the other a great action from Adama [Traore] which was really difficult to defend. When we had the chances, we didn’t [take them]. The goals will come. I insist. We have to keep pushing the players and believing. 


On creating chances…


I always want to create more chances. More chances and more shots on target. We don’t hit the target enough. We put 32 crosses in today and the quality of those crosses has to increase. We need to be more consistent. We had enough chances today to win a football match and we lost again. No excuses, we need to improve. 


On Aubameyang’s form…


I don’t like to personalise about one player. We all have to score around the team. It’s our responsibility to do that. 


On form dropping off…


You look at the results, it’s exactly like that. The way we lose football matches is by very small margins. Again, in this league as it is at the moment, things are not going our way. It’s not time to feel sorry, it’s time to work harder, everybody being united, pushing the same way and I think it’ll come. We just need to work harder and keep doing better what we’re doing.

Be like na the spuds we dey play next. Everywhere stew...
I'm definitely not watching that match.

Abeg, shey all the players no go come Shiloh like this? I can't even understand. E don tey wey I watch ball fah. ..arsenal why?

do4luv14:
You guyz are here talking about SE quality, and how to use A to get B, our sport Minister is looking for #81M to cut Abuja stadium grass

81 gini? How much is the stadium gan?

BlueRayDick:
Yes it was....I just hope he comes back better, I don't want him to go the way of other youngsters who showed impressive stats at the at the beginning of their arsenal career before everything went down south

Yea. .i am more concern about his injury.

BlueRayDick:
I hope he comes back better . We’ve missed his pace and raw talent upfront

I'm telling you. We miss the guy badly. His shooting drill was impressive too.

Jodera:
So ozil still dey join dem train?
This guy na real cruise I swear

Baba no dey worry at all. He was training as if he will start the next match.

BlueRayDick:
Gabi

He looked sharp in training yesterday. Saka,Mo,Willy and Ozil all trained.

Spy360:
Perhaps. Still depends on him.

Yea

Spy360:
Yes. But it happens at only one side of the pitch, the other side can move central.

Check:

From (normal)

Auba.......... Laca............ Pepe

AMN.. Xhaka.. Ceballos.. Bellerin

Tierney....... Gabriel........ Luiz

To (attacking)

AMN... Auba... Laca... Pepe

Tierney.Xhaka.Ceballos.Bellerin

.......... Gabriel... Luiz............

Or (attacking)

Auba... Laca... Pepe... Bellerin

Tierney.. AMN.. Xhaka.. Ceballos

.......... Gabriel... Luiz............

Yea, i understand. Maybe A change in formation or personnel will be suitable. Auba will move central or Arteta can set up the team similar to Liverpool's.

Happy Birthday Chris and kellycute, many happy returns.

Spy360:
You are right but it depends on him and not the manager. We usually play with wingbacks which tells the winger he is free to move central. He does not need the manager to tell him.

I don't think so. Arteta usually instruct the Fullbacks to move to the Midfield rather than provide width so i think he is playing to instruction.

Ok...One thing I have noticed about Pepe is that he tends to score more when he is closer to the box. staying on the wing is not just his strength. I think Arteta should redefine his role. I want him to move more centrally. Though, the RB will need to overlap and this is where the problem is, AMN will combine well with Pepe than Bellerin but Hector is the starter.
If Pepe can play more in the centre rather than staying on the wing dancing shakushaku, i have no doubt his output will improve.

BlueRayDick:
To think some people actually suggested we sell Auba for him because he can play with his back to goal .....Good thing, now when he receives a ball facing goal, he will turn and back goal post either dancing Atilogu or forming Amalize the cat with defenders

Lol. .no mind him.
He always does the most simple thing the hard way.

Hopefully Balogun,Cortrell and Azeez start next week. It is about time these guys get their chance.

iamoyindamola:
Martinelli nko

LW bro. I want him to man that wing with Nelson rotating with him.

Kog45:
My man I will pick Omeruo over Ekong and Ajayi though my opinion.

Same here too sir.

Laca should be sold abeg. Let Folarin take his place. Auba to lead the line with Balogun and Eddie as back up.

iamoyindamola:
Wasted Sanchez really

Btw it's subomi not subuola

I mean between the two. Since Sanchez left,our attack have been missing something.
Sanchez was our team leader then.
BTW,sunmisola will be better. Make we kuku combine the two. .lol

kodded:
boss, I mean am o, willian is a liability for us, infact an ageing ozil is still more valuable than willian to the team.


infact if you can go back to the day we signed willain on this thread, you will see me crying bitterly for his arrival, that man can't dribble, cant pass, cant shoot, cant cross infact watching him play is like pouring 2 liters of hot palm oil into my eyeballs

Relax bro.. I understand you but all the players are not performing right now. Maybe when the team pick up, he will also rise up like yeast. I'm still giving him time.

Jodera:
what's your thoughts on him?

His injury is the main issue. If he can stay fit, i won't mind having him in our MF.
