My guy, I no follow those who get expectations before. My hope only rose a little after we beat Rwanda in their backyard, but after the uyo disaster, I don forget am. Not even the motivational speakers who wey full here fit to convince me, so I no even need Ogbolo or whatever for confirmation.

come let us switch allegiance to southafrica so that they can add us to their supporters club to america

Nigeria football history began in 1994 on the global stage. All those aforementioned names don’t count . Folks that couldn’t qualify for the World Cup in their prime.

before usa 94, nigeria was playing brilliant football . Then they were known as the red devils then green eagles. But you folks watch 94 and assume otherwise

Will take this woman seriously only when she realises that her veil can be clipped and she won't have to keep adjusting it, which in itself constitutes a distraction typical of a seductress.

Haba, woman with how many body count again complaining of sexual harassment! 👩

she only forked three men

andrewbaba44:
Ferran torres handles the copa del Rey goals
Lewandowski handles Laliga goals
Raphina handles the ucl goals

Pedri control the whole competition
Lamine yamal assists the whole competition

Olmo palmers the team

Colson:
I edited the post.
He doesn't have the technical qualities.

was drogba technically gifted

Awesome01:
In terms of Strking performance and skill set. Rate the following strikers.

Lewandowski
Isak
Sesko
Gyokeres
D. Jonathan
Osimhen

Where does Osimhen rate on your list? Especially for barca

take away lewa from there. You are not serious. Based on hype and publicity, osimhen comes last. Based on objectivity, osihmen comes second

Colson:
Lewandowski is a veteran, past his prime. I don't know why you placed him on this list.

Isak> Gyokeres>Sesko>Osimhen> David.
You can argue that Osimhen is deadlier Infront of goal than all on the list except Isak, but his skillset (which is a very important quality for a Barca striker) is below par.

who told you osimen is not fleetfooted? Go and watch his game against rwanda and capeverde in qualifiers. How he outmuscle and outpace defenders to pounce on lose balls

andrewbaba44:
Ferran torres has scored 16 goals this season

He will definitely end up with 20 plus

A commentator once said he is the weakest link in the team attack after being subbed off for olmo

Jokerman:
Ten hag deserves swearing for bringing all these average clowns to united honestly

And when these clowns go to other club, they perform. I don't understand

9JAMac10:
Kanu is most intelligent and high soccer IQ Nigerian player ever. Okocha is most technically gifted Nigerian player of all time. My favorite super eagles player of all time I witnessed play could be Osaze odemwingie

i watch kanu play in the 2000s and all he does was fall all over the place like a pack of cards. You didn't watch etim esin, haruna ilerika and you are hailing okocha

Singapore1:
Are you still not respecting Jackson ? a 30 million striker .. giving you 80m striker performance....... but you want 200m striker performance

A 30m striker giving 500k performance. Bring ten alligator tails. You have annoyed the gods

airmark:


I watched how he should have scored in the opening minutes of the game. I watched how he got bullied off the ball by Romero more than once. I watched how he lazied behind multiple times to kill our counter attacks with offside positional play.

If Enzo didn't score, that would have been 2 points lost and we out of top 4, going to Brentford against a Newcastle referee.

Thank God that Son wasn't on song today thanks to his weak foot and Sanchez. Structure ko, structure ni.

If jackson is put on sale today, he cost less than 30m

MorataFC:
Like Jackson, like Sanchez. Sanchez will save the hardest shots but concedes the easiest ones, while Jackson scores the hardest goals but misses the the kind of tap ins chance

Sanchez is poor in everything. I dont know what you are blabbing.

airmark:
Ibime leave the scorer, dey hail a striker that got caught in 4 offsides, 1 yellow card, no goal, no assist and removed for his uselessness.

Enzo!!!

Only thing he is good at is free header, tap ins

pu7pl3:
Nothing sweet me for this match at all...doesn't feel like a win to me.

Madrid, the most powerful force in the world football after VAR and infantino

NinjaMetahuman:
Nothingham will be playing like complete amateur, but somehow they will be bringing results.


Just weird.

Not the forest I know. They play with so much panache and direction

Gucciboy:
Joao Felix will do well at arsenal just like havertz.

Or liverpool

andrewbaba44:
That one babe wey everybody want shag but none wan marry am

He will do well in barca. Chelsea is like fish out of water for him

illicit:
MILF

I like dem stubborn...

you will suck her pussy

lovelyeyez:
It was 9 with Pluto inclusive, but around 2006, it was declassified as it didn't meet the 3 main properties of a planet.
So yeah, we have 8.

The planet in this thread is an exoplanet, it is not in our solar system. Most exoplanets orbit other stars, unlike the earth and 7 others that orbit the star we know as the Sun.

are there aliens

AirBere:
There's so much to talk about here and most of the things I'll say are already known including you but since you asked, I'll answer. I'm just basically stating the obvious but here it is.

Modern football is more data driven. There's statistics for almost everything including touches. Players are faster, stronger, training regime is insane, players eat more healthy this inturn enable them to have a longer career. Back then once you're 29, decline sets in. But here, a 37 year old Lewy is leading a treble chasing team.

Teams play more careful with possession, aimless long ball/dribbles are almost forbidden. If you must give a long pass as a CB, you must be sure that the pass must get to its destination. A manager like Pep can bench you for getting this wrong. Henry once said that he scored twice but was substituted because he left his position to go do some inter play with iniesta on the other end of the pictch. 20 years ago, it was dribble, get to the byline and cross and hope.

The modern game also totally eradicate the free role nonsense #10. It's why players like Felix, Coutinho, Dybala didn't really live up. You're either strong enough to play in midfield or be shifted to the wing. Olmo is playing 10 but his defensive contribution is top notch so he's not really free. Right now, athletes are more appreciated. If you're athletic with a good skillset then you're good to go. If you're just skilful then you'll be another Felix. Most managers would prefer a midfield of three Gallaghers instead of a midfield of three Palmers.

In terms of management, traditional 4:4:2 is gone. The one used by Simenone is modified. Back then it was two classic wingers and two out and out strikers. Try this today and get whooped.

Defensive tactics are not appreciated at all and almost forbidden. It's now known by football fans as terrorism. Meaning that high press possession is the way forward. It's why Bayern would rather go for someone like Kompany who despite relegating Burnley tried to play "his own way" instead of outdated winners like Mourinho, Conte, Allegri, Simeone, Mancini.

Also the introduction of technology in the game like var, goal line tech and the automated offside rule system has really changed the game nah. I mean, var and automated offside rule is why you're on top of the league. Flick knows this and adapted to it with his high line.

All this didn't happen 20 years ago. I don't know if I have answered your question.

So in my mind, palmer, musiala, olmo, odegaard, raphinha, havertz, isi baraton are not free rolers

Bimmarlykay:
It's puzzling that Suarez's UCL stats aren't more impressive, especially considering he played alongside Messi, who's known for creating scoring opportunities. Even Benzema's UCL record surpasses Suarez's.

was he a great striker?

Havertz has scored more goals for arsenal in two seasons than his entire four seasons at Chelsea

Ibukzy:

scammer stop peddling Fake news. Nothing like this on google

Gucciboy:
Ac Milan are the manchester united of Italy

them and their brothers in red label float like sinking ships. They are never steady

engrelvis:
Before man city poor run Liverpool v been beaten dem so no biggie.Man city shud just allow us collect our 3 points from dem before dey "activate"

It will not come to pass

Leyqute:
If ETH had decent in-game management he wouldn’t have been that poor.

You didn't talk like this when he was in charge. It's people like you that is misleading man u fans

Lana1:
I'm looking at the table and top 5 is very possible. Maybe top 4 if we are lucky.
These guys just need to lock in

Top 5 instead of aiming for top spot. Shame on you

Trevor012:
I feel like Arsenal will expose this 3:4:3 like they did to Sporting plus we haven't mastered it yet.

Look at them. They afraid of defeat before it stares at them in the face. That jamiu is a fake fan

afrodoc2:
Casemiro made a few mistakes especially when premature sliding and stretching of leg, but if the midfield is not donut structured such mistakes can be corrected by nearby mistakes.

That donut midfield was the most significant tactical mistake that ETH made, alongside broader general issues like poor talent ID, poor team selection, poor substitution, poor coaching on the practice field.

Casemiro of almighty real madrid. How has the mighty falling in old trafford

Trevor012:
Last two games Hojlund brace, Zirkzee brace, Rashford brace. Erik bin laden was killing these players.

Bin laden kept faith in rashford but your eyes were inside your pocket

Jamiuokolaa:
We can actually get something from that game - the lads are currently buzzing with confidence and the morale is high....

Arsenal (A)

Nottingham Forest (H)

Victoria pilzen (H)

Mancity (A)

Spurs (A) in the league cup

The next three weeks would be interesting!

Five potential losses unless
