I do not understand why a Particular Moniker is trying hard to defend the Flops of the Match.

Ndidi is a fantastic Player - a very good DMF, but he failed woefully as a RB. I can't really blame the Coach for playing him there, seems he thought with his CB Experience, he would fair better.

I saw a proposed Lineup, and I couldn't stop laughing. Onazi as LB?! LOL! Thank God that the Eagles is done with local Technical Adviser.

We need to play Musa Muhammad as the Team's RB henceforth. Someone is craving for Experience, but he forget we got the Goals from the inexperienced Kids in the Team.

I implore the Advocate of Omeruo to watch his last Match he played for his Club, they lost the Match disgracefully because of his fatal Errors.

I will rather play Musa/Shehu - Balogun - Ekong - Taiwo/Oshanjwa in the defence line.

Mikel and Onazi still remains the best Pivot for the Team's Midfield. I think we should stick to it, cos they ain't doing bad. Then we should have Esiti, Ndidi even Kelechi Nwakali as Backups.

I will pick S. Moses over V. Moses and Ahmed Musa as the Team's RM any day any time. Though he's not as good as V. Moses, but he's more committed to the Team than him, and better than Ahmed Musa with Ball on his Feet.

Iwobi is a fantastic discovery, a rare Gem, he should maintain the LM position. While Iheanacho should maintain his AM Role. The Trio are skillful, talented and can comfortably switch Positions without distorting the Team's Rhythm, rather make it hard for the Opponent to contain them.

Upfront - we've been let down by our present Strikers. However, I would suggest Isaac Success to lead the Line! He's strong and pacy, he's also terrific when he's in form.

Meanwhile..... we can't invite all to the Camp of the Super Eagles. We should stick with the present Squad, so that they would be able to gel-up well and become a Force to reckon with and a Team to fear beyond the Africa Continent.

Let me send someone to get me Milk! God! Super Eagles and HBP be like............ since time immemorial!

Hope the Pressures ain't too much on our Team? Hope they can hold on to the Scoreline? No one is asking them to score more Goals! 3 points are all that matter!

How many Minutes of added Time pls! Make this Match end quick before person get HBP!

Seems the MOD in charge of this Thread is high?!
Till now..... the Title still reads Zambia 0 vs 2 Nigeria!
When is he gonna update it?! For the sake of those following the Match on Nairaland, another responsible MOD should do the needful!

"Because of his transfer and his status, we demand a lot from Paul Pogba. We’ve got to leave him in peace so he can progress."

- Laurent Koscielny

"I think Marcus is doing fantastic. He is probably one of the most exciting players in world football, young players, at the minute.

"I am sure if he keeps working hard and developing he'll be a superstar in years to come."

- Wayne Rooney

"I believe that Manchester United could 100 per cent benefit from a fit Bastian Schweinsteiger.

"If everything you hear and read is true, you can consider it disrespectful. He's not just some player, and also not only 18 or 19.

"I trusted myself to do that before [Schweinsteiger's retirement], but this has nothing to do with saying his retirement is positive or negative.

"We should be thankful that we had such a great player." 


- Ilkay Gundogan

"If he plays the way we know Wayne Rooney plays and he surpasses my record I'll be the first one to shake his hand and pat him on the back. For a striker, that's fantastic.

"He now wants to play in midfield - if he was a midfield player he would have played there.

"He says he wants to retire after the next World Cup - to me that's his management company putting a lot of propaganda out. It's about what he does on the pitch."


- Peter Shilton

"I've always been a massive Wayne Rooney fan - he's always been a street fighter giving 100 per cent, he'd get in the box and score goals and I always rated him very highly."

- Peter Shilton

"In the Euros he's captain, and we lost to Iceland, I didn't see him in the game, I didn't see any leadership. I've not seen the Wayne Rooney I know for a year."

- Peter Shilton

"Broadly speaking, we are working really well together. We have two coaches, Silvinho [Louro] and Emilio [Alvarez], and I think that myself, David and Sam [Johnstone] are working really hard alongside them.

"As each week goes by we are all feeling more and more comfortable with each other as a group. I think you can see this in David when he’s playing – he feels good and relaxed in himself – and that our work and training during the week is very good. 

"Similarly with myself you could see [when I've played] that I’d been training hard and waiting for my chance to play and that when that did happen, I was 100 per cent ready. As I said, I reckon a great job is being done with our training and that can only be a good thing."

"You work hard all week in order to play at the weekend, and so as the game approaches you will be 100 per cent ready and available for the manager and the group of your team-mates. You aim to show them that you are all prepared and ready to play.

"Having played my first game of the season in the United shirt has been very important as it gives you reassurance and keeps you calm and relaxed in the knowledge that things went quite well. You know that you can keep on working and improving. 

"It’s also good as it means that the people within the national team set-up are also aware that you have played and done well which means that you are in a better position to be selected for the upcoming qualifying games.

"I didn’t know them before but I think with their years in the game and their vast experience, they’ve really been able to add some different ingredients. We’ve been working and training in a way that maybe in the past, we hadn’t been used to. 

"We are doing lots of exercises in just one activity; we’re not just focusing on practising just one part of our game but we are aware that goalkeeper training nowadays is based more upon game situations. And we don’t limit ourselves to just one situation but we practise two or three of them together.

"For example, we make a pass and then we continue playing, and then according to whether the pass was executed well or badly, another ball might come in to play for which we have to be ready and waiting. Dependent upon this situation being concluded positively or not, we know that another ball might be on its way too. 

"It’s all about widening the goalkeeper’s vision, and not limiting the keeper to just one situation but encouraging him to have a wider appreciation of what’s happening. And they certainly have that vision.

"So they are encouraging us be more watchful and aware that not every situation just ends with the first ball going dead. Whether you’ve made the right or wrong call, or even on many occasions if you’ve made the best save of the game, that ball might then go out for a corner, stay in play or even come off the post and fall straight to an opponent, and you then have to be ready for that next ball."

eph12:
Actually we paid for Depay but they sent Defraud Clubs be cheating United since Fergie left

You think time is up for Depay?!
How old is he?! Do you think he's old enough to pick back his lost form!

elrony:
Abeg na Defraud At the moment, till further notice!!!


Lil Memphis and Grandpa

He has said it - that he's presently like a loaded Gun! He's ready to take his chance whenever the Opportunity comes! Kindly be patient with him!

Memphis Depay is talented, he's simply not consistent! He's growing up now.... and he's definitely gonna come good!

eph12:
He is correct

Of course he is! But it's Depay not Defraud?

nyabinghi:
yes he will.

.....Like David Beckham, Roy Keane and Co?!

elrony:
Who be that?..The cheek tho

I think he should have be a Model instead of playing Football!

^^^^^


Chai!

The Dude has gone Mad again! What a Pity for the People around him?! I do wonder how they are enduring his Madness!

elrony:
That should be Memphis Defraud!

You are wrong! LOL!
Meanwhile..... Diademk07 wouldn't like the below Image!

Who can name the Kid in the Picture below?!

Elxandre:
I think Herrera will turn out well for Spain.
Their midfield hardly gets dominated, so what many say is his weakness might not be highlighted.

I'm ain't sure Herrera is gonna start the Match! Maybe he's gonna be introduced in the second half!

Congratulations to Herrera!

"The Chelsea experience was too much too soon. I wasn't flexible as a manager at that time. I was communicative, but I wasn't flexible in my approach. At Tottenham I learnt to be different.

"In professional football you have to live the day-to-day. The objective is the group performance, but every single individual requires a different response from a manager.

"You can't be the same person to each player. At Chelsea the group was more important, I stuck to my methods too much."

Andre Villa Boas has the above Message for all the Chelsea Fans!

"In my formative moments working with Jose was the best time of my life.

"I was able to learn to many things and working with him takes you to another level. You fall in love with him and he becomes your idol. I wanted to be like him, know everything that he knew and absorb all the information he was giving.

"Then you fall on the wrong side of Jose and that's when things change and you realise that you've been blinded by someone. He has this fascinating capability of getting the best out of you, which has good or bad consequences for people.

"My consequences were that as a result of the argument or disagreement we had, I started my coaching career.

nyabinghi:
from a great player

Lol!
I think he deserves a Stand at Old Trafford! Perhaps a golden Statue would do!

SlaughterGang:
Why did you trade your brain for kool-aid?

Depay is light years ahead of your wheelchair over at Bournemouth.

I've never imagined something sensible could come from you Dude!
But you did great with your response to him! Keep it up!

"Of course you want to play. As a football player you want to play. It is my job, I love football and I love being involved with the team. 

"Obviously I am not starting at the moment with Manchester United and I have to work hard to try to get back in the starting XI, which I am doing, and when I get my chances I have to take them.

"But again I am fully supportive of the team, of the players and of the manager at Manchester United. Of course I want to be involved but the most important thing is that we win."

"Well, I think it is important that we have got exciting young players and that good young players get the rewards they deserve.

"He (Rashford) has been fantastic since he got into the Manchester United squad and he has carried that on at the start of this season. I think he fully deserves his chance to be in the England squad to play and, if he does that, I am sure he will take his opportunity.

"He is a fantastic player with a great attitude and he has got all of the ability he needs, so I don’t see any reason why he can’t. I am sure, if given the chance in these two games, then he will start to try to do that."

"[Jose Mourinho] has faith in me. He told me so.

"I feel like a loaded gun but I have to wait for my chance in the first team. I am at my dream club and I want to fight for my place."

- Memphis Depay

"Ander can be an important player for us, because we play with four attacking players plus Paul who likes a lot to go to different positions, to try and create.

"We need a player like Ander because he is very fast on the defensive transition, he can give us the security we need, especially against fast counter attacks."


- Jose Mourinho

Ander Herrera is gradually gaining the Confidence of Jose Mourinho. He needs to keep up doing his best for the Team. Who cares if some Folks here think negative of him?! The most important thing is; the Manager is gradually getting his starting Lineup and Herrera is an integral Part.

"He has changed his club team and needs to find his bearing with his new team-mates.

"With Paul, we always expect more. When he does something neutral, often it is not enough. He is someone we expect to make assists in every game - there is an expectation that is too large.

"Paul is okay in his own head. He knows what he wants.


- Didier Deschamps

AdisaOwala:
I don't mean to downgrade Herrera but I read that he was only invited as back-up to the likes of Thiago and others struggling with injuries

Chai!
That's really a bad news, but a very good one for the Herrera's Haterz! You shouldn't have shared it jhoor!
