TheGoodJoe:
One of the problems of reading too fast. Sometimes comprehension gets twisted. Funny though I also thought that you meant even though Nacho got a penalty like chance. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

TheGoodJoe:
Bolasie is a far better player. By miles. He would have come cheaper and contributed more than Sterling. I am not saying Sterling is not good quality but Bolasie is miles ahead.

TheSuperNerd:
Your intentions huh? *smiles* good to know we're on the same side of things here in a sense coz u also made a 'blast' of my "intentions". NEXT TIME TRY TO BE SUPER CLEAR ENOUGH Sir aiiit......
And of course d sky sports guys are "merely humans". I was the one who rated Bolasie b4 u called my attention saying something like, " NO WAY TIGER, Bolasie isn't a world class star.... "
*smiles*
Then I turned to another group of analysts who agree with me. I wanted to back up what I said.

Or don't u make references in analysis?

And it's "advice" not "advise" *smiles*

And no you can't out-smile me...... *Big smiles*

Welcome to the house Sir...... Good to have you again.... Yeah, I think I've seen this moniker on a few sports threads.

*smiles*

Lolzzz duly noticed on the word "ADVICE" neva knew I cud make a colossal error of dat word, I was multi taskin then and no thought was given to proof read my comment (I accept my mistake nt justifyin myself) and again thanks for being tacit wit d remarks abt it *Bigger SMILE*. I'm a passive follower of the thread though, always reading comments here to add to some of my experience I had gained far back to when nigeria won d U17 wc in d oruma era was still reciting O.N.E 1 then bt KI goal brought me to express myself.....

TheSuperNerd:
Then indeed, you are my "Oga" chronologically and otherwise.

*smiles*

Rather than type *SMILES* you guys know you can just use the smiley for that, right? Just a suggestion

TheSuperNerd:
Wow! Come to think of it. This thread has suddenly gained some 'quick' activity only because of Nacho's goal. Nigerians and success........ Na wa o! Kinda good sha but remember that not everyone agreed to this move to man city. Some said a move to a small club would have been better. Some even said it makes no meaning making the match day squad if u don't get to play and only make 1-5 minute cameos. Many negative and pessimistic remarks came through in and out of NL.

Why am I saying this?
*smiles*

It's because we all need to know the initial views we're coming from. A lot of fans are popping up all of a sudden which is great but pls let's care be taken to know who and who stands for what view. Coz if things are to go bad(nope, not gonna happen) people would start talking again.

It's an unpopular comment I'm making but I know what I'm saying......

Hahahahahahaha...... It's good to be vindicated but as always people are quick to say "I said it", "I knew it", "I saw it".......... Such childishness must stop. It makes me sick.

We must stand by our own no matter the criticism or displeasure we may have towards their soccer career decisions.

We must master the true art of constructive criticism on a scale of good not bad combined with open-mindedness.

Who saw Nacho's first epl goal coming? Maybe people like Safarigirl, Joseph 1013, TheGoodJoe, AIG07, Mikron (where are u sir?) and myself did as with a few others based on the views on this thread in earlier pages. Why? Coz we believed patience and hardwork would eventually speak for Nacho. Let this be a lesson coz I forsee something similar taking place again, maybe with another of our rising stars.

Peace.... *smiles*

Following this thread religiously , "icon "u re been spot on ! Thesupernerd ,safari and d rest of the sport addicts I hail u guys .

TheGoodJoe:

Please let us not try to exonerate Manu Garba. There is no way him, his crew and the NFF members did not know that training in Germany and Playing in New Zealand were two different affairs. Every other team knew this except Manu and Co.

How can he explain the tactics that knocked us out? We were going out. Nothing to lose and he refused to throw in an attacking player. He did not want to win and refused to use the last Substitution.

I know Manu Garba is a great coach. I know if he wanted to win, there are things he would have done differently in that game. As far as I am concerned that man knew our problems and let those Boys down.

If he gets another chance, it is just to redeem his image but please do not exonerate him. As for Coach Siasia, I have my eyes on you.

BascoVanVeli:
How can u blame Manu Garba for going to Germany? It was the NFF choice, they chose to follow the exact protocol used by their past predecessors. Go back to 2013 we were in Germany and played the same teams and beyond that we all have the weather channel and nobody spoke up but some guys on here, no media no nothing.

We should also know what country we live in if Manu started complaining about the poor work done by the NFF he end's up like Keshi and Okon.

As far as tactics that's a coaches choice, Pep left Gotze on the bench all against Barca and the whole world knows how much quality the boy has and his tactics were also questioned the year before against Real. Some coaches sometimes bench great players it happens.

I am not here to exonerate Manu infact i agree his tactics were bogus against Germany and Brasil but what about every other match he has coached for the green white green?

TheGoodJoe:
You have a strong point. The message with Keshi was clear by the NFF. If you do not coach according to their plans, you are smoked. Either way, something terrible went on behind the scene. What hurt me most about the German match was similar to the Man City game yesterday against Palace. When things are not working, try another approach. Coach Manu Garba had one more change to make. Why not use it and opt for Nacho. It was obvious. That was time for individual brilliance to keep us in the competition. Just as Coach Pellegrini threw in Nacho yesterday.

There is no way Coach Manu Garba and Coach Ugbade did not know that was the only change to make. Why he did not do it remains a mystery.

safarigirl:
Sir Icon don too tey for football followership, na wetin make am dey argue like this . I no wan argue again, let's wait till these boys settle, that's when we'll know the true worth of an U20 Silver medal

TheGoodJoe:

Make your point. Last season, I was in a bar when someone asked,who is the most skillful player in the EPL. There was an echo of Hazard's name. I said "No, it was Bolasie." That will tell you how highly I rate Bolasie. You can be good but people look at Clubs and Popularity to judge greatness. I do not.

Bolasie is definitely one of the best players this season but he was terrific before this season. It is just that Pardew is unleashing him and allowing him express himself more. I am expecting him to make more impact because Alan Pardew will give him license to attack. One of the commentators yesterday hammered on it. He said Bolasie will play terrifically upfront. We keep our fingers crossed.

Finally, I want to give Crystal Palace kudos. They were amazing against City and caused us troubles. I pity any team facing them.

I will like you to tell me why you think Sterling is better than Bolasie.

AIG07:
. Sir, don't tell me you're a city fan... The love of Nacho is d beginning of club decamping. The thread is moving on.

joseph1013:
If you read Nwakali's interview, you'd know that it was an intentional act by Manu. He'd rather die than introduce Iheanacho. In the end, Manu won, for we lost the game while his ego was intact. The wicked man would go ahead to say Iheanacho was not good enough for his team and his assistant would go ahead to say that we rate the boy too highly and that if he was that good, why wasn't he playing for the Man City first team. You can imagine such callous statements.

May we never see such irrational fellows handle the future of our kids again.
