So football starts and stops in England ba What about ur own Super Eagles who still use the long throws till today?⁰

I didn't say that.

Having a long throw is not an attribute that will give you competitive advantage in modern day football amongst the various other core required skill sets.

if having such attribute is too important in modern football it would hv prompted the likes of Madrid,man united and other top clubs in europe to sign Rory Delap ex stoke midfielder then cheesy

You don't say bruv! You didn't know as of Here and Now 1 year and 6 months ago Moffi had scored 16 goals in ligue 1? The highest number of goals by a Nigerian striker in the french league but you still went ahead to say he wasn't up to par compared to others. Please give it a rest and just own your bias with your chest.

U did say that oga. U said football has gone away from long balls but are the Super Eagles not a football team

Having a long thrower gave Plateau United 2 league titles and now they defeated a giant in the continent with 2 throws by Itodo. So saying it doesn't give u a competitive advantage is just ridiculous. It might not give u an advantage in England but it sure does in this part of the world.

Exactly! Iwobi lost the ball in the middle of United's half. Everton had enough men behind to have tried and stopped Ronaldo plus the Casemiro pass was dead accurate.

Icon79:
Actually, Iwobi was NOT culpable for any of the two goals. Losing the ball close to your opponent’s 18 yard box doesn’t make you culpable if they score on the counter, the defenders ought to do their jobs. Anyone can lose the ball but the defenders have to defend.

Coming from a person who rates KC as a lethal and top striker and Nwakali as a top level midfielder.

Look in the mirror and you will see who is emotive and prejudiced as well as bigoted.

Finally, l have a substantive view of the Segundo division as being poor quality league.

That's how you attempted to throw aspersion on my view that the Scottish premier League is on the same level as English league one.

Your hubris mentality has befuddled your sense of rational.
Can you please show just one of my comments portraying the bolded or in your words you are a big time liar.

I think you are wrong in this aspect. In today's game, Guardiola has pushed the boundaries of defending throw-ins, and most times players seem lost while taking them. A lot of times, most players give up possession due to how tightly marked their teammates are.

However, with someone with a strong long throw-in attribute, he can pick out free team mates in wide areas. So, a player good at long throw-ins will be a huge asset. Just as goalkeepers gifted with long throws and long balls.

I think komekn meant to say direct long balls. Because, today, long balls are key in the modern game. Take into picture Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, Thiago Alcantara, Kalvin Phillips, and many others. However, the long ball preference lies on diagonal long balls and is not directed to big men in offensive areas.

Omeruo should have been retired years ago.

Your club and league performance are a reflection of your quality as well as level.

Jordan Torunarigha was playing for Hertha Berlin in the Bundisliga not sure if he was first choice. He then leaves the Bundisliga rated no three and goes to Belgium league rated number 9.

He doesn't go to La Liga , or EPL or stay in Bundisliga but drops very low. That is not an indicator of progression and or true quality.


He rejected Nigeria very clearly and now career is on the way down , people are calling him quality defender.

Eeee get as e be .

The bolded I think we talked on this long enough that football does not revolve around league rankings. KVB, Hazard, Ndidi,Lukaku, Kompany etc all evolved from the Belgian league currently you have club d brugge sitting with 9 points in UCL a club from the 9th ranking league in the world.

Even Portuguese Sporting Lisbon beat up Spurs in same UCL. Zagreb whipped chelsea too football is not mathematics what is necessary for a young player is getting play time to grow and showcase his potentials... then and then we can take it up from there. The rise of sadiq ought to have humbled u by now

For quite some time Stoke used it to over stay in the EPL. A certain Rory Delap was there, at the Stoke had the tallest players in the EPL.

Sorry you need a lot more than a big throw.
