someone called this guy Grealish from Temu 😀

TheSuperNerd:
City's defensive transition off the ball has been terrible lately and has contributed to their 5 losses in a row. Also, the absence of a proper CDM yesterday in their midfield setup also saw Spurs take advantage of gaps, while in possession, in the middle third to destroy City.

City didn't play well. They were horrific in defending. And Kyle Walker is washed. Needs serious dropping.

Ifeanyi Matthew starts for League leaders, FC Zurich away at FC Lugano in the Swiss Super League.

His 9th League start in 15 league games.

Flying Eagles' FIFA U20 2023 star, Emmanuel Umeh is on the bench for FC Zurich

FC Zurich lead 1-0 now after 11mins

DaveP and Arsenal fans... Saka is still just 23.

TheGoodJoe:
But Arteta was a deep lying playmaker and joined Arsenal at about 29 years. Stayed about five years at Arsenal too.

I think Saka has been in Arsenal for five years or so. So to compare with a deep lying playmaker while he is a wing forward is not too convincing.

TheSuperNerd:
Ahmed Musa seems to be heavily involved almost everytime Pillars get on the scoresheet. Goals, assists, penalties win, rebound hits. In this case, his rebounded strike fell kindly for his teammate to finish off drawing them level.

Abeg, CHAN Eagles awaits.😁

Coaches have more time with players. No time to convert players in national team football.

TheSuperNerd:
It was not a comparison but a Stats of note. He overtook Arteta in the assists list for Arsenal players in the EPL assists chart. He has not gotten close to Thierry Henry yet.

DaveP and Arsenal fans... Saka is still just 23.

BascoVanVeli:
Yes oh but let's forget about Musa for a second and talk about the man, the myth, the legend. Rabiu Ali must play that ball oh. That man might be the greatest 46 year old in the history of football if he remains in this form by tournament time I will personally start a campaign for his inclusion

TheSuperNerd:
Alex Iwobi as a wide creator in the GWG on the right while "another creative head takes up the central role in midfield" may just be what unleashes the attacking beast of the Super Eagles.

Ideas dey knack me. 😭

Iwobi as a central AM can still work too provided we get the middle balance right but as a right AMF also, this gives us a chance to have two creatives in the sake lineup with fantastic on field vision.

daveP:
A 4123 will work. Turn to a 532 when defending, applying a leaf from Jpes afcon approach. It will bang goals. Leaving that 2 upfront for counter as Osimhen and Lookman

TheSuperNerd:
Ebere Paul Onuachu starts for Southampton vs Liverpool in the EPL.

Joe Aribo on the bench.

TheSuperNerd:
Onuachu has completed the most dribbles in that first half.... 3/3 (100% dribbling success). E shock u?

And Joe Aribo eventually came off the bench early on 37mins due to a Lallana injury.

HT : Southampton 1-1 Liverpool

TheSuperNerd:
Onuachu subbed off for Leslesy UGOCHUKWU.

4mins after that change, Southampton go ahead 2-1 vs Liverpool. Scenes!!!

TheSuperNerd:
The Egyptian King, SALAH equalises for Liverpool.

Southampton 2-2 Liverpool. Aribo still in action. Same as Lesley.

TheSuperNerd:
Wilfred Ndidi will have another coach again. Steve Cooper sacked!

TheSuperNerd:
Rabiu Ali must be superhuman to still be able to withstand the physicality and intensity of the NPFL and still dropping top performances in the big league games. I recall his showing vs Rangers in Enugu. Damn!

Both he and Musa must be on the CHAN team. I dropped a report here pages back which said that is even the plan sef. Impressive stuff. 46 yrs and balling.

elyte89:
Eguavoen shortlisted!!!

Bright Edomwonyi Assist 🅰️ for Diosgyori VTK away at Ferencvaros in the Hungarian NB.I

HT Score: Ferencvaros 1-3 Diosgyori VTK

Tosin Kehinde in action from the start for Ferencvaros.

TheSuperNerd:
So your 4123 typically means a DM, 2 central midfielders ahead of him and then the front 3 of Lookman, Osimhen and Iwobi. Is that right?
