charlesemeka85:
yes that’s true. Maybe Alex never knew uzoho is this bad now

Odunayaw:
You should take your own advice.

I ask questions to stir you out of the roforofo you have created in your mind over Nwakali

At one time in the match yesterday we had 3 midfielders on the pitch! That shows we ought not to have started with 2

And I don't need you to agree with me on anything. Your opinion can't do shyte neither can mine so get off that aggressive stance when Nwakali is mentioned

Sho ti ye e?

codemaniacs:
Iwobi was the one who should have prevented the second goal because iwobi was the closest to the ball...

benji93:
Alex self na decent at best, who's occasionally good(He's been quite good so far in the EPL) . I mean how many years you suppose to play with somebody to know say na basket?

charlesemeka85:
baba let’s not mince words, Alex is above decent currently. Bobo Dey ball hoooha!

Segundo division cannot afford any of them, well certainly not Ponferradina FC which is essentially bankrupt.

Just Tega alone his weekly wages is over the entire Ponferradina squads weekly wage budget .

Finally they would not descend so low when they can go to English league one and two and still get more money.

NWAKALI IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE SUPER EAGLES... WE ARE NOT BRAZIL FRANCE OR SPAIN....PERIOD

TheSuperNerd:
You are twisting your excuses.

If you haven't watched Alhassan even ONCE for a whole 90mins of a game. Then you have nothing to say on him. Do you know how much you miss innot seeing 20mins of a game?


Watching all our players 90mins each weekend isn't feasible. One can only select which to watch for 90mins and then view others in several mins.

On certain day offs of mine when they fall on weekends, I do have such luxury to watch as many games as I can involving our lads all with 90mins interest. For some that clashes... like having 3 playing at the same time, I have my laptop, my phone and my TV to share things.

And then for some I also make game checks of 30mins or so.

So it depends on the individual.

You haven't watched Alhassan for a full 90mins 3 times... so you are bound to miss certain points in the game that could actually matter most than what you saw.

TheSuperNerd:
Damn it! How many more of this do I have to put up with this lunch break? Haba!!

And Onyeka wasn't expected to be near the guy taking the shot. Don't misquote me. I clearly explained the scenario.

And what was he defending with the ball already cleared??

All I said is he should have moved more centrally and upwards into his CDM zone at the top of the box. He had the time to do that but didn't even with the ball already cleared and headed outwards of the box towards another Algerian player who then rolled it into Atal's path who took 2 touches for that strike.

That is about 3 touches from Uzoho to Atal before he even struck.


He caused a penalty. Is limited in possession. Shows positional indiscipline for the CDM role leaving gaps in his primary defending zones. And only made a few meters of ball carries which you exaggerate as moving the ball from defence to offense.

Onyeka a gem? With all these limitations and errors yesterday? Really?

charlesemeka85:
please when in the match did we hv 3 midfielders?

TheSuperNerd:
And he did what he could.

Had Onyeka taken a few more steps, instead of Ball watching and moved into his Actual Primary defensive zone as the CDM, he might have gotten the block that no one else could have achieved.

3 touches leading to the goal was enough time to see Onyeka take up position in his primary zone yesterday.

His tactical sense of positioning and anticipation is underpar. That is the whole point.

My comments are not specific to you but in general to what is often said here.

Nottingham play what you call " dour" football not exactly sure what you mean. But I presume you mean unattractive football.

Well Burnley did that for almost a decade and had a good run in the EPL.

Fulham played on the deck sweet football in the EPL a few seasons ago but got relegated.

Teams will rather play ugly and win than on the deck sweet football and Lose.

benji93:
This is not good Sir. Money is not everything.

chrisooblog:
Well whatever Forest is playing right now has them already battling relegation.

fabyom:
Who would have done better? Onyeka was exceptional yesterday. He was the only DM against 3 outstanding CM yet limit them to no shot at goal in the first half. The mere fact that he was in that position to mark the Algerian for that penalty shows the quality of his positioning. That should have been Sanusi's duty. He was all over the place running and winning balls. Paserio should have helped him by bringing on Onyedika earlier. Uzoho punched the ball out from a corner kick, it was the duty of the forwards to press the Algerians while the midfielders add more body to the defense. Where were Iheanacho, Simon and other attackers? You expect Onyeka to press while the attackers do what? Defend? You are just being sentimental.

charlesemeka85:

Roforofo because I state the obvious always when ever nwakali’s issue rises up here

I stand on my stance about him until he proves me wrong and I will be the first to admit my wrong assessment on him when it happens

benji93:
I dare say you have to Sir. Do you not know it's one of the requirements for anyone to be called a good analyst?

TheSuperNerd:
He tried because to most fans, na the man wey dey run around, dey Mark and dey put body in duels na him dey do past everybody.

But if you critically analyse the gaps and holes he leaves when he makes his movements sometimes and how positionally indisciplined he proved himself to be yesterday, you will realise that no be by gra gra. Football is more about intelligence than Gra gra.

When it comes to the Art of Positional Discipline in the CDM role, Ndidi definitely trumps Onyeka hands down.
I may analytically criticize Ndidi's underpar Ball-playing and limited passing range but he offers better than Onyeka defensively and is more positionally disciplined in the DM role compared to Onyeka.

Odunayaw:
You're stating the obvious as you see fit and I'm stating the obvious as I see fit

SE has no business having a lean midfield and ignoring a player having a good season all in the name of Segundo league

fabyom:
Onyeka wins the ball, passes to Iwobi, Iwobi finds Iheanacho, Iheanacho has Simon, Lookman and Moffi running into space ahead of him but decides to shot instead. Iheanacho should be the one taking all the criticism.
Onyeka has Cement his place in the team. Facts!

Utonwanne:
How many of our players have you watched 90×3 this season?

I'm waiting...

Utonwanne:
No Mister, you can't use your laptop, TV and phones to switch on different matches at-a-go. It's a deception and you are not different from who watched only one.

As for Alhassan, I watched the full match against Brugge and other times but just few minutes especially when my preferred match are on halftime break.

Saying about what I could miss in 20 or 30 minutes because I didn't watch a full match rather funny. If a player can only perform for every 20 minutes when I switched off, then he's not good enough. He's just another Fred Macheda.

Like I said earlier, I have watched him enough so stop trying to shut me up because I have not given him my 3 hours - as you claimed to be doing every weekend because that's a lie on its own but...

season still fresh

Arsenal Dey top now no means says dem go win am

codemaniacs:
Iwobi was ball watching. Iwobi didn't do anything. What you fail to realize is that Onyeka is a CM not a DM.

S.E played without a DM yesterday and a DM would have also been in the box so it's players outside the box like Iwobi that could have prevented the second goal.
