Bassey was subbed off at half time with a suspected injury..

I think it was the fall, straight on his Tommy from a contested Ariel duel, He was holding his Tommy and and side for up to 3mins

Bassey was substituted then Ajax let in 2 goals. I am happy Bassey won't take the fall this week. The supporters now recognise how immense Bassey has been for them.

I am watching Bruno against Porto. The guy playing style and stature strikingly similar to Udogie. We gat an immense talent on our hand. Super player!

Chukwueze got a brace and assist in a copa del Rey game tonight

ok

I pray that Frank Onyeka grace will find Nwakali. Hopefully one day he (Nwakali) will play against real footballers. Amen. Frank the tank is an immense talent. Let the disrespect stop today!! @supernerd.

Fantastic. The new coach believes in him not yanking him off for Pino every 60 or 70 minutes.
He needs consistency in playing time after that his last injury. I am happy the new coach has found a way to start him and Pino instead of substituting them for each other like Emery.
Arsenal is watching!!

What disrespect? Is this below the immense display we witnessed today?

Same game I saw? All he did was run around and do his pressing jobs and make pressing runs into the final third when needed. What else? Dude did what I expected of his pressing qualities and was used by Thomas Frank exactly how I have analysed him several times. Plus he even missed a big chance.

Truth remains Onyeka doesn't have the ball playing nous needed for the Super Eagles Midfield while Nwakali has it in abundance and has been very consistent this season.

The game vs Man City again showed Onyeka's limitations. ZERO PASSING RANGE ON DISPLAY. Not even a single Long ball from Onyeka. Not a single through ball or lines-breaking pass.

Couldn't even complete one dribble.

The chance he created came via a simple short pass layoff for Toney which was even squandered.

You guys will eventually come to see the truth in time. For now, live on in your delusions about the current state of the Super Eagles Midfield.

We all know I tag Chuks the Naija Robben and will always rate him but you lots should cool it on this one.

Chukwueze bagged a brace and double assists against a Spanish 5th tier side. A Tercera Amateur team.

So make una cool down abeg.

Arsenal watching because of Brace vs a 5th Tier amateur team? Calm down.

You are late to the Bruno hype party that began here many pages back but welcome to the light. Better late than never.

Anyway, he's still a bit rough around certain edges. He's a solid Left footed defender with rooms for improvement. Always liked him since his feirense days.

Udogie looks more polished for now though.

Kelechi Nwakali came off the bench with his team already 2-0 down in the Copa Del Rey and he bagged an assist but it wasn't enough as Ponferradina fell 2-1 to Spanish 4th tier side, Guadalajara.

Arthur Okonkwo bagged a Cleansheet as Crewe Alexandra beat Colchester Utd 1-0 in EFL League Two.

His 6th cleansheet of the league season in 17 league games.

Tomori should've just accepted Canada's advances. They handed him a spot on their 11 on a silver platter!

Too bad. His loss.

You called it right.

The Beast is always gonna be a problem. Success still got it.

Once he entered the game I knew there were going to be problems.

How many DMs does/do what you listed above against a team like Mancity? Until Nwakali plays with quality footballers then we can compare.

The difference, Udogie plays primarily as a wing back while Bruno plays as one of the 3 men in a back 3 or left back. Of course Udogie is clearly better.

Frank can only play what the coach tells him to play. If he was allowed to play his game he would be carrying the ball 20 yards at a time.

BannedLarge:
Although, I would had invited onyedika due to the fact that he is presently playing CL football, I wasn’t impressed with his cameo vs Algeria

Oh didn’t know he was called up
I’m guessing the coach wasn’t impressed either so that’s why he was dropped

Eze plays LCM while Nwakali plays RCM... they can complement each other in the same starting 11..

I think he has done more than enough this season, if his agent try to market him he should easily get a more decent team
