I think Eguavoen at this point needs to shut up. He talks way too much.

Do the talk on the pitch and not media houses. He should be planning and strategizing with his assistants on the game next week.
You are the one who needs to shut up

make una cut Eguavoen some slacks he can't watch most of their games that why he has back room staffs to give him report on player's he missed, and him saying he hasn't been watching dessers is the plain truth or you expect him to say he watch his games live every week undecided undecided undecided and him saying he knows his first eleven isn't a crime either, if you don't have an idea of what your first eleven should look like as a coach then what are you doing there in the first place, even on this forum everyone of us have an idea of what our first eleven should/would like.

KC cannot be on the same page Ighalo, Osaze and Yakubu.

Dennis has scored more goals in one season than KC scored in the EPL in three seasons.

Dennis has not needed three seasons of Mediocrity to wake up and be counted.

KC has gone back to his former mediocre self so far 2 goals this season .
At bold, Are you sure this guy is not on meth....
Like Dennis just came from one academy and started playing for Watford, bros you can yarn dust.

Please this is a very pedestrian criteria.

It will be like saying Nigeria is higher than Canada in the FIFA ranking therefore Zaidu is better than Alphonso Davies.

Zaidu is not a world class LB but disrespecting someone who features consistently for his club in European competition is not it.

Even Maguire who has been consistently dropping clangers lately won't be so disrespected to the extent of saying players in Fulham are better than him.
First of all you are too rigid in your perceptions which are not knowledge based but emotive preference.

You assume that Porto is a bigger and Superior club than Fulham. And therefore condescending to say Zaidu will not get into Fulham.

That's why a gave an appraisal of the current left back in comparison to Zaidu. Getting a move from the Championship to the top three league in Europe is quite common. That in itself gives you an Idea of the quality.

Teremi, Evanilson Martinez and Vierra are Porto forward players they are not as good as Fulham's this is very plane to see. None of them can touch the boots of Mitrovich.

What you must understand, it's quite common for players to leave first tier leagues to play in the second tier English Championship.

At the end of the day players will mostly choose money over assumed prestige of the league.

If you look at the wages Porto pays it's players it can not compete with Fulham. Imagine the highest paid player is a near retired Pepe from Real Madrid on £48k a week.

Let's get back to the main subject which was would Zaidu get into the Fulham team and the answer is no. He is not good enough apart from being technically poor.

Zaidu would probably jump at the chance to play for Fulham. Finally ,Money £££$$$$€€€ "TALKS" and football players WALK.

Antonee "Jedi" earns 10 times more than what Zaidu earns each week .

By the way Tosin Adarabioyo is better than Maguire IMO.

You defend Eguavoen too much bro. Even in very unnecessary situations, you'll still type a long speech. Are you now saying that Guardiola cannot break any low block easily because he lost to Crystal Palace. Hansi flick too?

I believe in Eguavoen but he's beginning to make very clueless statements of recent. Imagine saying that the reason you didn't invite dessers is because you have not been watching him. Then again he said that he knows his first eleven.

Those two statements already show a serious problem. Eguavoen may actually not be watching Nigerian players well enough. That's why he can have a fixed eleven in his head. He may not even be watching their games. That's not a good thing oh.

They all can not break down low block easily. All of them. It takes fortune and early goal. Remember Klopp and Liverpool going two legs with Atletico Madrid, without a shot on target? If it was easy to do that, will Klopp be in that situation.

I have given my proposition on how to go about it but breaking down compact defense is difficult.

City were good at Liverpool, though, while across Stanley Park they were not. In fact, this was not the first recent occasion when the champions have dipped way below their natural level.

Poor against Tottenham last week, victory over Brentford similarly hard work and even the five-goal rout of Sporting Lisbon drew criticism from their coach.

Locks are not being picked with the same freedom or flourish; the low blocks are becoming ever more compact and stubborn.

Guardiola believes this could be a laborious stagger to the finish line as those facing them employ the same tactics every week.

'They defend with probably 10 players in the box; the strikers defend on our holding midfielder,' he said. 'There is no space. We need the creativity, the talent for our players to break the games, and be patient.'


Everton perfected that, especially in the first half. Allan twice turned over Kevin De Bruyne in midfield, they broke menacingly as City toiled.

'The games with big margins of goals have finished,' Guardiola warned. 'Everyone is playing for something, every game will be a battle like Everton.'

For City, the theme of teams defending deep and in huge numbers is nothing new, but are they retreating further and further back with each passing season?

'Yeah,' Guardiola replied. 'Most of them except Liverpool I would say, Brighton, Arsenal in some moments.

'Maybe I'm forgetting someone. Aston Villa, we played there a little bit too. Leeds as well. But as a principle, when we make a good build-up, they sit. But, honestly, I'm not saying anything's wrong. Every manager, every team can do whatever they want, absolutely. It's in our hands how to break them.'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10558195/Pep-Guardiola-believes-teams-defending-deep-hurt-Manchester-City-title-race.html

I am not defending anyone. It is just plain fact.

It's not Assumption UEFA ranks Porto way ahead of Fulham. If you disagree take it up with them.

English football has always been known as money miss roads that throw huge contracts at any below average talent that comes their way.

Porto consistently plays at the pinancle of club competition which is the Champions League so why would Zaidu be bothered about Fulham? Chief you doth cap a lot.

I'm sure Koulibaly earns way less than Maguire but even a blind man high on kaikai would never say Harry is the better defender because he earns more.

I guess based on your logic Kepa is better than Mendy since he earns way more.

Subzero honestly you will have many contenders this year for the Gaffe of the year awards. SMH

So because Fulham pays better than Porto makes them better than Porto ?

When does a higher salary and being the richer club equals to quality?

If the Egyptian coaching crew had done their homework and studied Eguavoen's press-releases, they would have dealt with us easily. Immediately after the second game, I was already shouting that any decent coaching crew will beat Eguavoen silly.

Diversify your strategy, you no fit. Conceal the only one you have, you no still fit.

I do not think any coach knows how to break a compact defensive setup easily. We just saw Manchester City lose points against Crystal Palace who played this way.

Even Liverpool drop points against deep playing teams.

We hope we find a way to break it. My proposal is for us to work on corners. We need to train effectively on executing corners but also keep a tidy setup, so we do not get hit on counters during corners.

Playing pattern:
Get the ball to wide players often and get to the corner line and force corners.

Early execution of the corner will open the Ghanaians.

We should also consider shooting from long range with curling shots.
You are point bro but players like Moses Simon, Oshimen, Chukwueze will be mark by 2 defender. Ghanaians are desperate for a win our coaching crew must do the needful

I am still trying to understand what is wrong in a coach looking for players that suit his philosophy.

It should impress people to note that the coach believes the team can improve and is still searching for the right players to suit what he has in mind.

The Brazilians still rave about the squad that had Socrates and Zico. A lot of Brazilian coaches use that pattern of play as a template for their teams.

So I wonder why Eguavoen looking for midfielders with the quality of Oliha and Adepoju bothers people.

For me, I find it interesting and would like to look into what made these players special.
