currently aribo is the most creative midfielder we hv and his stat is there for all to see

If una like make una tag nwakali midfielder orchestrator or maestro

And for those suggesting a midfield trio of ndidi nwakali and aribo mk una kuku tell us say una wan use stress kill ndidi because with lazy and clumsy nwakali as cm dude will be over stressed

This na African football which requires physicality and and stamina so our best bet is having ndidi with Onyeka and any of aribo or iwobi with Onyeka a box to box midfielder who while chasing possession will help ndidi in covering grounds

Eguavoen can’t risk benching an Onyeka who hv been the teams best midfielder in training so far for nwakali

It’s way too risky

For nwakali fans una fit add an for una fantasy team

You sounded pained than rational in reasoning. And , I flatly disagree Aribo is more creative than Nwakali. You could say Aribo is more athletic and faster but he is not more creative , technical nor more skillful. I strongly disagree.

Papi85:
na ur crack head oga na em report me

I don't have any oga, also I doubt that Mmiri-mara-ugo was behind the ban. I guess it was that liar from UK that you like suckling his d!ck that decided to dangle your fate as usual

PurpleHouse:


I have repeated pointed this out. Never allow any North African team dominate midfield. Choke the midfield and frustrate them from coming to your end. Them go begin frustrate cause foul. You can then hut them on the counter.

I hope someone can pass this to Eguavoen it will be useful against Egypt and I wanna believe this modern game's of today is being won in the midfield as that that federal capital of every team and matches once you loss it you are gone Even if you are playing lower opposition

TheSuperNerd:


This sounds like Charlesemeka85... Looolll

Only he and a few others don't understand the essence of keeping a tactical balance of Midfield control and grit. Having all grits is not the way to go. You would only be hard to break down, be playing on the backfoot for the most parts and would suffer dysfunctional passing rhythms in the middle game.

Relax... Nwakali is here to stay. His skillset is highly needed. We cannot be all brawn and grit with no technical control.
And Ndidi always struggle alongside another defensive minded MF. Isn't that fact already established? Ndidi loves to handle the bulk of the defensive load. His stamina is 100. He cannot be overworked. Also he won't defend alone. Nwakali's pressing and workrate has improved over the past 2 months and Aribo's workrafe is also very much present.


Also, Aribo cannot dictate a game. His passing range is limited. This is why he cannot function properly from deep but only when close to the box. His creativity is of a different ilk. When played on the wings, he has the knack for 1-2 exchanges and to attack spaces in order to create and go for goal himself. I have my totalfootballanalysis of Aribo in 2020-2021 to back this.


So take a chill pill, down it with Sprite... relax and watch the best of football featuring Ndidi-Nwakali-Aribo in midfield. Trust me... you would love it.

Happy New Year Charles....

The guy you mentioned his name has been a nuisance here and uncivil and needed to cool off.

Papi85:
the leg get strength?

Yes, quite stronger than Aribo's that looks like a tooth pick

Nerdie.. how things na?

TheSuperNerd:
Let's not think too far ahead of ourselves. My advice.

Be like Joebie... take it one game at a time in the group stage then we can begin assessing our chances from the first KO round.

The team has fine potentials but let's mix excitement with a little bit of caution.

And yes, thanks so much Sir Soetan. I appreciate the welcome. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO AND TO EVERYONE JUST WALKING INTO THE THREAD AND SEEING I'M BACK. Great to see y'all.

Now I understand why everyone missed you while you were away. Very exquisite football analysis from you there!

Well knowing they won't be at the WC they will be all out in this one.. I expect them to go far. However, how they approach their match against Algeria will determine if they have that fire in them.

chrisooblog:
Would have agreed with you ordinarily but I think they lack character. Losing out to Cameroon for the WC qualifiers really diminished them in my eye.

Same Haidara that Nwakali manhandled with technique despite the lad's brawny kinda plays at U17 level?

Or Partey that couldn't handle Nwakali in a friendly? He even resorted to kicking Nwakali every now and then just to stop him.

Even at the 2019 U23 Afcon where we failed to qualify, Nwakali covered himself in Glory bossing a midfield that had Brighton's Mwepu with Daka in Zambia's Attack. Where was Mwepu's power then?

Look, Power and Brawns will almost always bow to Technique and Brains.

Papi85:
Imagine civ vs 9ja for semi finals eguavoen cum play nwakali with em tiny leg to battle kessie for midfield or against Mali to battle haidara or Keita

I pity una

Who through pass and fancy play pep for afcon?

The Man, Joebie... Happy New Year My Good man. Glad to see you here too. We have had our disagreements and would still have more but as you can see... Adults move pass things and leave it for kids. Good to see you, Good Sir.

And as usual, I trust you will be your ever cautious self on our expectations ahead of the Afcon and guess what? I wasn't disappointed. But in truth, your approach is best right now.

I mean, in the light of many happenings, changes to our lists due to player withdrawals and slow start to preparations. Caution is the way to go mixing it with a part of the feel of excitement in the air.

Have a splendid 2022, Joe. Would love to see your pie charts and bar charts after our group games is done and dusted.

u see the problem, always making reference to nwakali’s u17 exploit

Can the same nwakali lace the boot of haidara currently?

And nwakali with all the techiniques and brains hv got 0 goal and assist this season, no be juju be that?

Where is nwakali today and where is mwepu?

I swear una no get shame to Dey go back yesteryears just to make nwakali relevant over night

Mwepu is with Brighton doing marvelously well

Haidara is in Leipzig and touted amongs the best in his age bracket

Nwakali is in Spanish 2nd tier with no hope of getting promoted this season and not even among the best in his team let alone the league

The Supernerd. You are back!!! Happy new year.

But on a serious note, why do you keep going on this sabbatical leave all the time? We missed you all the while.

JohnBullMySon:
Turns out Ighalo is trying to convince his club to play at AFCON. He needs it to secure a move. Also, a new player has been contacted but not yet disclosed. NFF will have to pay a fine to replace him with Ighalo. Fingers are still crossed and Eguavoen is giving Ighalo time to persuade his club.

Let's see how this turns out.

Abegii!


Ighalo should getat....

He knew about the clause in his contract yet came out of international retirement to do what exactly? Like say Super Eagles na him birthright. Very selfish mudaf**cker.

Whether the player to replace Ighalo is Cyriel Dessers or Terrem Moffi, NFF should go ahead and pay the fine cos both are upgrades on Ighalo and worth having in the team. (I prefer Dessers sha)

Also, this players late replacement issues has shown Eguavoen as an indecisive and un-assertive coach who is not able to make the hard decisions.

The minute this Ighalo's issue came up, Eguavoen should have replaced him immediately. What nonsense is waiting for Ighalo to convince his club?

Shioor......

Nwoke, nwayo nwayo. At least those who like you are old hands here should please just temper words so that you can set the tone for the newer members of the commentariat . If I say I don't like you, I lie cos you get mouth. Truth is that when someone insults us, it's very painful. But the Goodjoe is just awesome how he takes it in his stride. Kog45 is also one person I admire a lot. Not saying you should be like them oo. Not at all. One thing I learnt over time though is to ignore an insult online. Many times I will type my clapback and then delete it.
I no say make we no insult oo. Small rofo rofo fight from time to time keeps the ginger but if the playground becomes a mud basin due to yama yama insults no one will be able to play in it again. This is our playground. Na men we be. So my brother, hold side abeg. I greet you.

Lol, well no p. We move
