Three days ago, I saw Kalu, Simon and Rabiu played in the Europa against Genk.

I was not impressed with Gent style of play. They were too rigid and too couscous. Maybe that limited and reduced the abilities of almost all their players to mediocre. And it really affected our Nigerian players.

Kalu and Simon played as RWB and LWB respectively in a 3-5-2 formation while Rabiu played in the Middle. So, both Kalu and Simon were cautious of defending duties to adventure to the attacking position.

Some how, they pick up in the second half after the boring first half. That was when I noticed the coach lapses by not allowing his players to express themselves.


They team showed great passing skills and dribbles.

However, I will narrow my assessment to our naija boys.


Rabiu Ibrahim: This boy has added aggressiveness and physically to his sleek kind of play. This boy is very skillful with all his moves, touches, dribbles and passes. As in you can't what he is going to do next with the ball.

He plays exactly like Jay Jay Okocha but unfortunately players like him can't succeed in this era where emphasis are more on speed and tactics than the former days of Ronaldinho and Co.


He can only thrive in a team in the Spanish league.

The only floors I saw in his game are, he doesn't demand for the ball and he doesn't when to make a pass. He looks raw. I think more playing time will improve his game.



Samuel Kalu: I think the formation reduced his ability. He is very skilful and he always wanted to take a shot at goal (unnecessarily). After dribbling, he seems not to know what to do with his final decision.

Meaning his final decisions are very poor. Lost the ball unnecessary many times before he finally got his act right with a pass that led to the only goal of the match.


Simon Moses: As a LWB in a 3-5-2 formation, his ability was also limited. He ventured to the front in the first half but I can't really notice him in the second half. Though, he could have seen his free kicks and corners convert if the strikers were not wasteful.

I think accurate delivery of crosses his a plus to him but I was not impressed with his game holistically.

I'm not talking about quota for home based but if we can find some of them that merit it,they should be called to camp to slug it out with their foreign counterparts.

But according to ICON4s,NPLF player presently are not good for Eagles which made me sad coz we cannot be going to Europe and be inviting players playing in Bosnia,Cyprus or third division just coz they are foreign based.
Ok na. I agree, NPFL players should be called ahead of Bosnia or Cyprus players.

Oga, Sheyi Ojo was bought for 2.13million pounds at the age of 14 years. The most expensive player bought at 14 years of age in the whole wide world. grin


Sheyi Ojo has played in the Liverpool team while Success is struggling for a minute in Watford. grin


Lookman has played 6 matches and scored one for Everton.

Can we now debate? grin


Man City to Chelsea? shocked grin Bhuuuhahaha!

Sheyi Ojo was playing in the Championship with Wolves before he was recalled from loan to play in Premier-league last season.

This season, he was a sure banker to make the team before injury blighted his season.


All the players I mentioned are not Academy players.

Sheyi and Ovie are considered Liverpool first team players before injuries came their ways.

Which one is academy player on my list?

You are saying he hooked Neymar and still saying clear as day light. The question is, did Munier foul Neymar? If he did not, there is no way that is a penalty.
what is a foul? Munier obstructed Neymar's movement, is that a foul or not?

TheGoodJoe:
Luis Suárez’s dive exposes Barcelona’s cheating, amid the celebrations
The notion of the club’s revival against PSG being special is undermined by their players tumbling. The message? When things get tough, keep conning officials


If the awarding of Barcelona’s first penalty of the night was dubious, Thomas Meunier committing the apparently fatal sin of falling over with Neymar in close proximity, the hosts’ second, which fuelled the fairytale, represented a blatant act of cheating.

Consider this scenario: that Luis Suárez threw himself to the floor in the manner he did after darting in front of Marquinhos when playing, instead, in a key international against England. No odds can be offered that we would have heard plenty more about it, either in immediate post-match analysis or now that the dust has almost settled. In this instance? People are willing, just about, to cite “controversy”. It is Barcelona, they are brilliant, fresh parameters apply.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/mar/09/luis-suarez-dive-barcelona-cheating-psg
you do understand that Suarez was clean through on goal when he was pulled down? When you are the last man you should not make any illegal contact, besides let me ask, has UEFA come out to condemn the ref openly? No! Even Colina and Webb agreed that both cases were penalties, soft penalties but penalties
