LOL. See ehn, don't even try to use that people like you line with me, else, I will send you on a wild goose chase for ONE post of mine ever hailing Etebo, and you will never find it.

Maybe people like YOU blindly hype anybody that plays a decent game, but don't use that term with me.

Etebo may be decent to you, but he will forever be bang average to me. I never called him trash.

I don't know what performance he put up against Algeria, I did not see his name being hyped. I saw Mikel and Moses and it is shameful that the most recent performance he has had, that you recall, is from a game that was played over two years ago.

Imagine, an almost three year old game, and you wsnt me to believe he's a baller. What a joke!

aunty ,nobody hyped am. when you said you didn't see what he brings to the team,that is extreme. If u had called him Average .ehn ehn we would have understand.

Lol

Make una dey castigate etebo dey go like say una get more better players

Someone today said doesn't deserve to be in the team ,I just dey look that person dey Laff

If I talk dem go say I don start

Sentimental thread wey almost everybody hates ighalo and always praise their favorite player

One person for this thread that one na to dey support fine fine boys like say e never see fine boy before ,if to say etebo fine now dat person no go castigate am

Make we leave matter

Lolz.. maybe Etebo too should go and bleach.

To be ranked above Chukwueze is a joke

If Chukwueze had been white he'd be ranked a lot higher, they even ranked Zaniolo with two career goals above Chukwueze

Lolz..that is whites for you

Earthquake3:
Etebo is not as good as you people are painting him

What's his strong point, is he a good passer? Is he a good tackler? Does he shoot? Does he screen the defence? Does he control games?

He's just in the team because we've no other alternative, he won't make it in the first team of top African teams

I agreed with your post. Am not saying he is already the Messiah. But I hate it when people talk trash of a player. My point is Etebo is not WC but he brings something to the team.

Earthquake3:
Guendozi ranked at 70 million who writes this nonsense?

bro..the guy is good o. make u watch arsenal match

safarigirl:
he is too old for us to be talking about what he can become.

This is it. There is no becoming Essien. He is a jack of all trades and master of none. He is not a game changer. You can't look to him for penetrating crosses or screening the defense. He doesn't have good hold up play, he can't dictate the pace of a game. At most, he has bursting runs, but that's what the wingers are for. He is in essence, useful everywhere, and yet, useful nowhere.

He is just in the team, for lack of a better option. It isn't because he is a great footballer, or he has done anything exceptional. He is not much different from John Ogu, they are dispensable players and their careers will end unceremoniously in the Super Eagles,

One day, he won't be called up, and nobody will care, because he was never all that anyway.

crosses? holdup play? screening defence? I think you should watch him more often. Etebo is just a poor man Ramsey/Vidal kind of player. His only shortcomings are in the final third.

bazooka1:
Pound for pound is Ndidi really a better footballer than Etebor? I don't think so.

impossible.. you can't compare both..they play different roles with different methodology.

wayodude:
I agree and disagree.

Etebo has a fantastic engine and is highly versatile, this guy has played almost every outfield position on the pitch as a professional.

Without going into too much detail he simply needs to add a bit more quality to his game in the final third. He can become as good as Essien was. For now he is a good squad player.

Gbayi bro...that is my point. we may not get WC players for eagles o but let's appreciate the one we have. Rohr tactical approach sometimes limit his performance. The Croatian match is an example.

andrew444:
No bad for omeruo, he has had a good season this year.

But na only naija players dey celebrate team of the week like say na trophy, see as him friends they type congrats for him page like say him win champions league.

Inferiority complex dey really worry them

Na so dem dey congratulate themself for goals ,when chuks score Barca for that 4-4 and that man of the match performance ,see as all of them dey write congrats for the goal like say na so others African top players dey do

Ordinary goal clearance from line wey omeruo clear ball e post am for instagram like say na achievement ,he for no clear the ball nah e for allow all enter as if dem no dey pay am salary .

The only congrats that's important if you don't win a trophy is etebo sw player of the year ,or if Ndidi go win Leicester young player of the year again

Lolz...my brother ,e no easy na ... considering the calibre of defenders wey dey the league....

And oga Charlesemeka ,those teams you mentioned, what have they achieved with their WC MFs ?? see ehn,let's appreciate what we have. This Etebo you people are calling trash,many country would give everything to have him in there NT.

safarigirl:
the thing is paining me

You see the kind of midfielders being paraded by these countries, and we are shamelessly hyping Etebo here. We should be soaking chaplet somewhere at this point, because I can bet you that the AFCON group stage will be tough for us to begin with, let me not even reason what comes after.

who is hyping Etebo? No be people like you dey hail him here when he put up a star performance during our 3-1 victory vs Algeria. Continue to dey shame una player... I repeat Etebo is a decent player not some trash. Shebi Naija get plenty MFs for Europe ,why have they not find a better replacement. I still remember some peeps here calling Omeruo flop.. the boy yaf shut them up with his latest performances already.

Schemerkhiz:
Rita Okoro the recent invitee to the SUPERFALCONS....

She is based in the US and she's also a ref..

A ref...lol

safarigirl:
What is he balling? We can't even find where to put him in the midfield half the time, so, what is he balling?

A few bright sparks here and there does not equate to balling, he's not even consistent. He better do something amazing at AFCON, because I repeat, he brings nothing spectacular. Just because Nigeria has become accurate to mediocre performances by players, Etebo is now balling.

He never even reach Sunday Mba level in the national team, it is lack of competition that makes him look great. If you find a midfielder with purpose, Etebo will look ordinary. Na the gragra dey make am look good.

Etebo is a baller...I will repeat and defend that words wherever and whenever. .. You should blame Rohr for being tactically inefficient rather than blaming the guy. Tell me any other MF in SE that can offers what Etebo offers. Mba? Lolz ..just because of AFCON winning goal abi

WAFU 2019: Injury Rules Out Falcons Safe Hand; Nwabuoku, 20 Others Storm Abidjan



0 comments, 06/05/2019, by Best Choice Sports, in CAF, Football, News

By Ebube Dike

Super Falcons goalkeeper, Tobechukwu Oluehi has been ruled out of the WAFU Women Championship holding in Abidjan, Cote d’iviore from 8-18 May, Bestchoicesports.com.ng can authoritatively confirm.

Tochukwu who sustained an arm injury is expected to be out for 20 days, and was joined on the list of those dropped including Mary Anjorin, Joy Jerry, Rofiat Imurum and Ugochi Emenayo.

Tochukwu we gathered will join the team to the final training tour in Austria immediately after the WAFU tournament.

Those who would fly the country’s flag in the tournament includes three goalkeepers of Christy Ohiaeriaku, Chiamaka Nnadozie and Alaba Jonathan.

Four defenders of Glory Ogbonna, Chidinma Okeke, Maryam Ibrahim and Mary Ologbosere made the list.

There are also seven midfielders of Peace Efih, Osarenoma Igbinovia, Amarachi Okoronkwo, Adebisi Saheed, Evelyn Nwabuoku, Joy Bokiri, and Cynthia Aku.

US based Uchenna Kanu will lead the seven other forwarders of Alice Ogebe, Uchenna Kanu, Chioma Wogu, Rita Okoro, Rofiat Sule, Esther Sunday, and Antionette Payne to the tournament.

The team will depart Abuja Airport on Tuesday to Abidjan.

I hope we unearth another decent defender in this tournament.. the over reliance on Ebi and Ohale is too much. Aside Ayinde and Chikwelu,it will be splendid if we can get another decent MF.
...and Adebisi Saheed? wtf is she a transgender ni ..Lolz

safarigirl:
maybe he did

Because till tomorrow, I don't see what he brings to the team. He's rarely ever a stand out player, just getting by for lack of competition.

Winning South West Stoke City player of the year, whatever that means, doesn't make him stellar, it's not like they made it out of the Championship with his contribution

you don't see what Etebo brings to the team? fear God small na . He might not be WC but this guy dey ball abeg

samu ..city or Liverpool
I think city will be a better choice.
At Liverpool, his favorite position is manned by Salah and I don't see how Klopp will bench salah for Samu.
At city,working with a tactical astute manager like Pep will improve his performance and hasten his development.. he also has higher probability of winning silverware at city, also the cash is available ...Lolz. The only challenge he will face at City is Playing time. Even at that,if he really plays well,hr might still bench some first teamers there.
But IMO, I think he should stay in Spain for at least another 2/3 years since he is already familiar with their playing pattern. It may not necessarily be villareal.Moving to another league might hamper his development.
o pari

enomakos:
Is the WAFU tournament not for home based only?what is Toni Payne and uchenna KANU doing in the list

can you pls share the list here sir

Ayinde..her ball control ,distribution and finesse is top notch. Anybody knows where Loveth Ayila dey . ?

andrew444:
Lol

Dis guy no go kill me

Abeg leave me jor

as in eh ...the same messiless Barcelona hammered RM at home o.Lolz.. some people funny sha

Curtisaxel7:
Adebayo "The Beast" Akinfenwa can do the job. .

Please let's clamour for his invitation, our current players are too soft . WE NEED AKINFENWA!!. WE NEED AKINFENWA!!. WE NEED AKINFENWA!!.

Who's with me?

calm down bro...we are going for AFCON not WWE or smackdown

Earthquake3:
The dude is fvcking overrated, playing well against Slavia Prague and Malmo doesn't make world class

When the tough game against Liverpool came he disappeared into thin air

the guy is good...lack of game time might have affected him...on His day,I will pick him over Willian and Pedro.

Earthquake3:
Hudson Odoi is an overrated English kid

Imagine if Onyekuru was English with 50 goals in 100 appearances

odoi? overrated?..I beg to disagree bro. He might not be world class but this guy is good

safarigirl:
a bigger fellow?

Show me a bigger fellow than the trio of Balogun, Ogu and Uzoho in any African team to start with. In fact, if sh-it hits the fan, nobody is taller than Onuachu

hmm ...lemme use style agree with u sha

andrew444:
E be like say you want make we get bouncer for super eagles abi

Lolz....not really but football no dey go with gentility again...u need to add a bit thuggery...

safarigirl:
What are you talking about? Whose boys are soft?

You've so easily forgotten how Iwobi, Ndidi and Balogun nearly beheaded Feghouli in Algiers during our WC Qualifiers?

Who you dey call soft? Make any of these African players catch our guys outside, you go know who soft.

wow...you ignited my memory, but what if they encountered a more bigger fellow ...this is Africa for Gods sake.

andrew444:
Kolasinac power player ,he made bundesliga team of the year in his last season at shakle 04 and they came 8th ,that says a lot ,it's just like a Leicester city player making Pfa team of the year

Sokratis is good also

Do you mean Arturo Vidal ?

hey bro...am talking about their bad-boyism...toughness and thuggishness... not their playing skills

watching Arsenal vs Napoli yesterday,the way Sokratis handled Koulibhaly during the altercation really got me. How I wish we got someone like him in the SE squad. All our players are damn too soft..we need a Vidal,kolasinac or sokratis kinda player...our boys need to stop dpubg fine boys up and down...IMO

darkelf:
How If I may ask? I'm not saying you are wrong but maybe he has posted some top performances in serious competitive games I don't knoe about

when compared to Akpeyi ? Taking Alampasu to AFCON is a bit beneficial to the SE. A couple of training, a little bit exposure might go a long way in helping him... and also if he was able to retain Uzoho on the bench being the first choice at UAE, I have no doubt he can do so now if given the chance. Though,many factors are against him especially his club status but the fact that he is still young and has potentials made him stand out when compared to Akpeyi.
I also think he will offer a stiffer competition to Uzoho than Ezenwa and Akpeyi
cc andrew44

andrew444:
Even in your mind you know alampasu will not make the squad

You need to be realistic and tell yourself the truth

That is my list bro ..not yours.
But we all know taking Alampasu to AFCON will do us more good.

darkelf:
Nice list but I'm not sure of Alampasu making that squad.

Ogu is yes/no for me. Mixed feelings about the guy

I mention Alampasu because what us the use of taking Akpeyi to the tourney. And about Ogu, if u notice ...there are three different MFs in my list...three are starters while the rest are backups.
