Yes I agree that Ramsdale being vocal is his biggest call to fame and I'm not saying he isn't good I'm just saying he's overhyped. The best GK In the world, Donnarumma, is the most quiet I have seen. Then there's also Oblak.

No need for too much talk, just read this article written after his heroics against Leicester before he started conceding like...

https://zonalsports.com/16/aaron-ramsdale-world-class-talent-overhyped-englishman

As a Coach or fan, i don't think it's ideal to want to reason quietness or loud is what makes a keeper classy or etc. He's not even top loudest gks in the epl. So I don't mind if he talks like Mou or screams like Mweene or El Hadary. I won't use that to decide hype or performance.

They can't have same personalities. So, he's not overhyped. But he does have the 2nd most camera focus on gk in the epl after Ederson due to how they react after a goal os scored. Its the EPL!!

The nff should make any of uyo or abj stadium to be the official pitch for the team. That will help the teams game play a whole lot

Super eagles is known for its wing and expansive style of football like the Dutch which is one of the reasons the team tend to strongly in smaller pitch when playing against a defensive minded side

Philosopher1979:
YORI YORI FOOTBALL, THE NEW CONCEpT OF FOOTBALL FROM NIGERIA THAT WILL CONQUER THE WORLD

Yori Yori football is rooted in Nigerias history and culture as a footballing nation.
Tikitaka has conquered the world
We have seen the Brazilian Samba and the Gegen press.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR YORI YORI FOOTBALL
It is a combination of African or NIgerian, Brazilian and Dutch football.
It has been played down the decades by various Nigerian teams and now in modern times
it finds it fullest expression.
Examples of this unique brand of football are:
The 2015 u17 world cup winning team
The 2014 u17 world cup winning team
The Olympic team of atlanta 96
The afcon winning teams of 1980 and 1994.
The brand of football is unique and not team from Europe or South America can understand it.
Amunike played it with the u17 team and fifa could not understand Nwakalis role.
I BELIEVE THAT STARTING FROM NEXT YEAR THIS STYLE OF FOOTBALL WILL START CONQUERING THE WORLD
THE WORLD SHOULD GET READY
JUST AS SAMBA pRODUCED pELE AND TIKI TAKA pRODUCED MESSI,
YORI YORI WILL pRODUCE A NEW AFRICAN WORLD pLAYER OF THE YEAR FROM NIGERIA.
WE WILL BE UNCONQUORABLE WITH THIS BRAND OF FOOTBALL.
You see it is when we Africans embrace our uniqueness that we can actually conquer the world.
Adaptation and not immitation is the key to Africas progress
and in Yori Yori football our unique style of play adapted to modern football will conquer any team

I love the sound of the name. But it is a philosophy with a track across journalism world? Just asking? It would ve sweet if it can start from there. But even sweet if that pattern is noticeable from the NPFL with neccesary hype from one to six club managers doing it and then its success on continental caf level. Else, na noise o. I wish Intentionality on this was rife.

Any Nigerian will easily understand Osimhen's post. Any naija celeb will post like that and will get a million engagements. But his European fans can't even understand him, sincerely.


It doesn't have to be bad. Its what's at stake here that should be considered. He needs to carry them along and probably cut less on the street boi levels. He's more than a naija star. He's a world star already. Adjustment is required.


We his Nigerian fans will always understand this.

We should be happy we have someone carrying our indigenous language and culture to the world.

Instead, we keep bashing the guy because he refuses to conform to the traditions of foreigners.

Funny thing is, if Messi or Aguero post in Spanish or Ronaldo in Portuguese we will all be impressed at how they are repping where they are from (some people will even go as far as learning spanish to reply or using google translate), but when our own decides to post in pidgin which is our own language we keep bashing him everyday. Colonial mentality.

With iheanacho consistently warming the bench at lesicester if I am to be the coach of the team I will replace him with David okereke on the list

Iheanacho is one of the reasons why Rohr was sacked. Rohr began to lose the plot when he began to change formation to accommodate Nacho and Osimhen on the pitch in a 3-5-2 which clearly didn't work.

But Rohr did not know when to stop. He went ahead to invite Ighalo, thinking pairing Ighalo and Osimhen is the answer to the team's malnourished performance.

How could a coach who has spent 5 years with the team not know that our strength is from our wing pairs- Wingers and wing backs.

We had Chuks, Kalu, Ejuke, Aina, Ebuehi and even prospective Lookman and Dennis. He kept them all on the bench for Simon and Collins.

With the kind of arsenal we have, our best formation is 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1.
We must NEVER change formation to suit Iheanacho. If Iheanacho must play he should be competing with Osimhen as the top striker - 9, otherwise he should remain on the bench.

Knowing Rohr it would take him ages to eventually realise what he was doing wrong, hence my support for his sack.

na iheanacho own Dey vex me pass. In the national team he plays as if nothing is at stake and hardly work hard for the team off the ball

Like you said rohr caused it all by trying to change formations just to accommodate iheanacho in the team. Of late he has been nonchalant and his body language during games makes this claim obvious

Rohr truly was the cause of his misfortune because it got to a point he made so many players too relax and indispensable giving little room for adequate competition in the team by bringing in new faces

Imagine Glasgow rangers new coach pushing aribo further the pitch becomes he noticed that the midfielder has good eyes for goal with decent passing ability when he is close to the opposition’s box and this experiment hv yielded 6 goals and few assist from the player. It’s been long I noticed this in aribo’s game which is the main reason he has been ordinary in the CM position where he is not giving license to push forward because of Rohr’s conservative tactics.

Believe you me if aribo is pushed forward maybe as a number 10 or 8(given the license to be present in the oppositions box often) he will be one of the top scoring midfielders we have ever had

Iwobi and aribo for now should share that responsibility of creativity in the team whereas the more productive one should take over the number 10 role

Ndidi and Onyeka should be the dm and cm while osimehn should be flanked by chukwueze and inform Denis or lookman

Cb pairing should be balogun and any of akpoguma and awaziem. Ekong should be dropped to the bench until his form improves

The AFCON tournament is still taking place under a FIFA sanctioned calendar... So there's no difference..

To be honest it was as if you spoke my mind.

How Rohr didn't see the prospect in Aribo is beyond me. Ever since he score that goal against Brazil, I knew he should be competing with Iwobi in the No. 10 role.

And I still do not understand Rohr's utter disrespect for the wing pairs. Did he forget VM's role in the demolishing of Cameron and Algeria back then? Or Kalu's impact goal against Benin republic?

Chuks was the reason we were brilliant in that friendly against Ukraine and in that 4-goal thriller vs SLeone. Even Aina's super assist was the reason we could make it out of the group in the last Afcon when we couldn't score in that game.

It was okay to experiment with Nacho but how long should it take him to realise that he was stiffening our wing strength. He axed all of them (Chuks, Ejuke, Sanusi, Kalu, Aina, Ebuehi, Lookman, Dennis, Onyekuru) just to accommodate Iheanacho, and when that wasn't working, he was going to keep axing them for Osimhen-Awoniyi or Osimhen-Ighalo combo.

To be honest I'm glad he is gone. He is a good guy and I like him but his complacency and slow reactive attitude was hurting us real bad.

FIFA has a calendar under which all sanctioned tournaments fall under... The international break itself is under the FIFA calendar...

Any tournament (for example,the CHAN) that's not under FIFA calendar can easily be ignored without consequences by the clubs which the players play for...

It was glaring that Rohr didn't know the strength of his team himself..
He wouldn't have continued using the 2 man striker formations if he knew well that Osimhen function better as a lone target man with support from the flanks.. He also won't be playing another holding midfielder alongside Ndidi if he knew that Ndidi at Leicester operate better as a lone DM..
Just so many wrong selections...

Its not a language problem. Its an understanding problem. Many of them learn pidgin. I'm sure you're very much aware of this. But while the angle he's tweeting from is understood easily being Nigerians, the italian fans that genuinely love him can't just grab what he's passing. Nothing about colonial mentality here.

I think the new super eagles coaching crew should groom[b] Calvin bassey to replace aging balogun or error prone ekong[/b]

I pray Osaze comes good at Celtic too so him and bassey will form our central defensive pair in the nearest future

Also the nff and eguavoen should reach out to udinese’s left back udogie. Have followed him closely and must confess that he is better than both Sanusi and Collins

Eguavoen should use this afcon to incorporate akpoguma fully to the team, if possible drop ekong for the hoffenheim man if the watford cb continues to underperform. An awaziem and akpoguma combination should be tried in friendlies prior to the afcon

If club form is the basis for national team selection.

Then the decision has already been made, since the departure of Gerrard and the arrival of Van Bronckhorst Calvin has been in every game and Balogun has been left onthe bench, even after he recovered from injury.

This is the conundrum with the NFF this boy has upped his game in a league that is 9 places higher than the Turkish league. He is outstanding in his league in the HERE and NOW. And we are still waisting time to invite him ,he had effectively benched Balogun his stats are outstanding.

We are still holding on to mediocrity with Omeruah and Awaziem who cannot rise above Turkish league and or the poor 2nd tier Segunda Division. Both players are not outstanding in their respective leagues ,just making up the numbers.

Lies lies and lies just say you don't watch Rangers instead of uttering this rubbish, Balogun has been injured since GVB took over

The latest on Enyimba is that CAF scheduled their match for tomorrow and they are scrambling to either get there or have it postponed.

Awaziem and Omeruo are good players.

Personally i will savour the pairing of Balogun and Ughelumba (Calvin) in the national team, with a hope to witness the same in their club sides.

The pairing appears very complementary with a vast hope for improvements.

The following screenshots of Balogun and Ughelumba respectively were taken from Whoscored

I'm smelling Frank Lampard as new Super Eagles coach

So that idiot amaju is still hellbent on appointing another foreign coach after what rohr did to us

Anyone watching Qatar vs Egypt?

That Qatar keeper is good.. i don't know why Okoye can't be making those type of saves this guy has been making.

He has saved like two 1-on-1s

Actually, Egypt is nothing without Salah and few other of their players that are not there.
