Lols

Even apart from their ability, do you think it is wise we discard our long term investment (osimhen) because of the short one (ighalo) ?

Edopesin:
“It was a big disappointment.  Even though my players played their best, they lost

to the opponents due to inexperience of my players.

”My team is a very young side compared to the Argentines, who play in the big leagues all over the world. You can talk of the experience of Lionel Messi.

”But my team is a very wonderful one; disciplined, young and very interesting to work with.

They will be ready in the next World Cup when most of them would have matured for big time football like the World Cup,” 

---

The Coach said that but mostob and Chriskels of Nairaland think otherwise lmfao

So what do you expect the coach to say in such circumstance? And what of Germany and Spain that crashed out, were they also inexperienced? Argentina that defeated us with their almighty experience,where did they ended up w?

Edopesin:
are we going to ignore the fact that ighalo took us to the Afcon semi

Really? So he took us to semi? Omeruo's goal against guinea, both samu's and ekong's goals against SA were indecisive?. What of Iwobi's goal against Cameroon? Come on bro, you can do better

andrewbaba44:
They have won something for club levels

International football no be everyday like club football

And besides I am taking about club football but you are bringing international football

lolz . . Even at club level, they couldn't won it all.

andrewbaba44:
Did you hear me argue about now ?

Give credit when it’s due

Ighalo has retired from international football

Eod

Exactly, ighalo has retired.
We moved on already. But saying he will bench osimhen if he mistakenly come back is just outrageous.

Edopesin:
World Cup was just 2 years ago and you've forgotten that Musa was leading the attack not Ighalo that was introduced in the second half

I guess Cameroon and Tunisia are smaller teams when compared with Benin and Lesotho

very smooth

Musa at least scored 2 goals. Wetin your experienced ighalo played.

ChrisKels:
Funny enough, we crashed out because of the over rated experience of Ighalo

lolz .. Tell them. Musa practically singlehandedly defeated Iceland. Ighalo with all his experience, we sabi how e go.

andrewbaba44:
Ighalo na fine player, the thing be say many of una no just like am here due to that world cup miss and co , una no wan swallow una pride

Las las the guy play for man u at age 30, many people still dey shame till now

You sha like going out of line. So because i insisted Ighalo won't start ahead of victor as at now, mean say i hate him. ?Abeg say something sensible.

Edopesin:
lmfao
Ever heard the phrase "Experience lo matter", People agreed that we crashed out of the world cup due to inexperience and we're talking about National team football not club football I don't know why you're mentioning Sancho and haaland

we didn't crash out because of inexperience oga, Are you saying Vicmo, musa,mikel and your Ighalo were still youngstars then? Germany, Spain are inexperienced too? Lmao... You are such a funny dude.
And your last paragraph is not an excuse. Are you saying France didn't have experienced forwards before taking Mbappe to the WC? When discussing football, we discuss both NT and club football.

andrewbaba44:
What have all these players won apart from mbappe?

Experience matters in football.

Seriously dude , so what you are saying is that experience guarantee laurels? Then Ighalo should have won world cup or AFCON for us now. Lewa should win something for poland too. Ibra sef should win trophy for sweden. If sancho , Mbappe ane Haaland bossing things in their respective leagues is not impressive enough to drive home the point that experience doesn't matter in football nowadays,sorry i can't help you.

Danielnino00:
If Ighalo returns to the SE,he will start ahead of Osimhen simply because Rohr prefers him.. it's not because he is better than Osimhen..


Ighalo is more of a poacher, Osimhen is an all round striker...

That last paragraph says it all.
If Ighalo starts ahead of victor, it is due to favoritism.

TheSuperNerd:
News on national team appointments to be made soon.

U-17, U-20 and even U-23.

One major shock awaits. Lol. But one good news is present in the midst of all these.

hmmm... Aigbogun again?

ChrisKels:
But one is more prolific, pacy and energetic than the other. Also one is rated among the best strikers in the world currently, one has also played against some of the best teams in the European champions league and had their defenses in his wake

Exactly bro

Edopesin:
one is more experienced than the other

I don't think experience really matters in football nowadays. Football now thrives on ability and capabilities rather than experience. Guys like Sancho, Haaland, Mbappe have proved that age is just a number.

Edopesin:
better reasons than he is doing well for club and country?

Is osimhen not doing well for both club and country too bro?

Edopesin:
You chose to ignore where I said that Ighalo is not flopping also and that he is also a legend in SE or what more valid reasons do you need?

Ighalo's last tournament with us was more than we could have hoped for and if that's not enough reason coupled with the fact that he is having a great time with Man U then I don't know what more you need

If you can't find any other reasons apart from these,then your opinion about Osimhen returning to the bench if Ighalo MISTAKENLY return is a mere heresay.
If Ighalo should return, he will be back on bench ni

Edopesin:
Ighalo is not flopping also and wether you like it or not he is a legend in SE, even Osimhen admitted that his starting is not guaranteed if ighalo comes back

he is always welcome, he contributed a lot for the National team and even at the Afcon in 2019, whether I am playing or I’m on the bench, watching him from the side will also help me learn a lot from him. I have no problem with it at all,” Osimhen told ojbsport.com

https://www.completesports.com/osimhen-ighalo-free-to-make-super-eagles-return/

you still have not answered the question. Give us valid reasons.
And the quote from victor above was uttered out of professionalism and respect.

Edopesin:
In other words and in proper English, Osimhen will not start ahead of Ighalo if ighalo decides come out of retirement

No be wetin we dey talk since?

yea..oya tell us why.

Edopesin:
Ighalo received death threats after the world cup but still played in Afcon, hell Messi has been receiving death threats non-stop since 2010 but he is still Argentina's best player

Ighalo will bench Osimhen that one no even be talk sef

lolz... Oya tell me why and how Ighalo will bench Osimehn. It is not as if victor is flopping already.

andrewbaba44:
Am we speaking of now ?

We are talking of then and you are speaking of now ,you don’t even know what to say aelf

Ighalo has retired from international football so no arguement

When he was still playing he was better

Eod

this is not an arguement on who is the better of the two.

Edopesin:
if ighalo do mistake come back Osimhen no go see starting shirt again

cc andrew .
This is what i am trying to counter.
Going by this statement, we will just return victor back to the bench if Ighalo MISTAKENLY come back abi? U sef think am now.

Edopesin:
clearly better how? What SE player has not been criticised before abi you think rohr uses the criticism to decide which players should play and who shouldn't

Ighalo is doing well for his club and he was doing well for SE before he retired and if there was favouritism and sentiment at play it is on your part

Somebody finished highest goal scorer in Afcon less than 6 months ago or so and you're saying if he starts ahead of Osimhen it is favoritism lmao

lolz. .ighalo was doing well for SE yet he kept receiving threats from the fans then. Yea, he won the AFCON boot and i am not taking that away from him but you,wanting to bench victor if Ighalo is recalled is just somehow and laughable. As at now, victor should be our fist choice. We should move on already.

andrewbaba44:
When ighalo was starting he was better than osimhen, stop lying bro okay, we arent kids here

wetin u dey yarn sef. You don't expect Rohr to start victor who was at that time still finding his feet over Ighalo. I repeat, as at now..victor is clearly the better of the two.

Edopesin:
you really expect Rohr to start Osimhen ahead of Ighalo?

It is not debatable. Osimhen is clearly the better of the two. You seems to forget how Ighalo was often criticized for his bad performance during the past two years. If Ighalo starts ahead of Osimhen, then favoritism and sentiment is at play.

Edopesin:
if ighalo do mistake come back Osimhen no go see starting shirt again

Really? Based on pedigree, stat , club or what? Sorry to disagree

Lorazepam:
You didnt get the joke *facepalms*

lolz.. Got it

Subzero047:
That all depends on the NFF but as long as they see them as a competitor, they wont

ok

Subzero047:
The private league is not legally recognized to begin with

ok...can it be made recognised legally?

If the proposed private league is later formed,i think the qualified teams from the private league should play a play-off match against each corresponding team in the public league/NPFL to determine who will be playing the in CAF competitions. What do you all think?

Brendan Rodgers on the transformation and remoulding of Wilfred Ndidi's game


“We have been working on his technique, the simple basics of the game, passing and receiving. He takes the ball now and he understands he doesn’t need to spread the ball 60 or 70 yards — he is a continuity player. He has the ball, takes the ball and passes the ball. And when he hasn’t got it, he then uses his incredible athleticism to affect the game.

“From a tactical perspective, a lot of the work has gone into that with him. From a technical perspective, he has constantly worked on his touch and how he turns with a touch. Those little basic fundamentals of the game.”


— Brendan Rodgers on Wilfred Ndidi (The Athletic)







TheGoodJoe will definitely love this.

i love this. Dude is an hardworker.
