Wait first.... just outta curiosity... who is oga number 1?

*clenches fist*

TheSuperNerd:
That was Zabaleta talking not Pep..... and he was saying he scored five goals while Kun Aguero scored two.... looooollll


so he said he should be the next striker in the next game.... crazy fellas....

Xzbit91:


Have you watched Gabriel when he's in Brazil colors?

The understanding and rhythm he strikes with Neymar is far beyond what coutinho and Firmino have going.

You also seem to forget coutinho is just finding his feet with Brazil, he's not a regular yet.

TheGoodJoe:


Okay. I downloaded it at Low Res. The clip was so nice that I just downloaded a high quality. Thanks for the post.

Firmino and Coutinho work day in day out at Liverpool, you must factor that in your argument.

Neymar and Jesus will be facing more solid teams in Russia than they faced at the Olympics. The World Cup is a different ball game trust me.

Coutinho and Firmino combo is more tried, tested and trusted playing for Liverpool in the Premiership with Champions league football in view next season. It will be interesting to watch them Light up the world cup.

Yes it took a while before Brazil recognised Coutinho's talent but he has grabbed his chance with both hands over the past 2 years. There's always a time for everyone to shine. This is his time and he's been proving to be dependable so far.

TheGoodJoe:


It is you na.

TheSuperNerd:

You are right about The sweet synergy between Gabby Jesus and Neymar..... and yes it beats coutinho and Firmino combo.... I have watched Brazil enough to know this is true. We all watch EPL already so... no need.

But about Coutinho not being a regular... I disagree kinda.... coz when he is fit, Coutinho have always started alongside Gabby Jesus and Neymar in a dynamic front three.


The trio of Coutinho, Neymar and Gabby J is Brazil's first choice front line right now....

It is Douglas Costa, Willian and Firmino that sits on the bench currently for these trio...


In recent games even when Gabby J was injured, Coutinho still kept his place alongside Neymar... someone else had to take Gabby J's place.

I marvel at your analysis sometimes

son...simply went for his leg and not the ball...
if son had touch the ball with his feet it would have been different... I guess u know more than the commentators and analysts

u first said..alli was just ordinary all through the match...his ball control bla bla was poor..
same alli I watched today played well..he was so deadly upfront

your analysis is ridden wit sentiment I think

TheGoodJoe:


The same Alex Ferguson who stayed late at night with Valencia in the hospital when Valencia injured is a racist. Continue.

#FearGod

Xzbit91:


What I mean by regular is someone who is guaranteed 70-90 min on the pitch each and every game. Willian may start ahead of him, or he'll be taken off at 60min or less.

BTW he's also lost his magic touch of recent

Xzbit91:


I get your argument but I just want you to know, it not gonna happen. As long as Gabriel keeps drawing the O'phenomeno comparison.

BTW, Gabriel has already nailed the starting berth in Brazil national team. He's played a few games, so it's not just the Olympics I'm talking about sire

goldfish80:


I have explained earlier why Jesus is starting ahead of Firmino. The Brazilians don't consider Firmino high profile enough, owing to the fact that he played for a small club before leaving for Germany. He was unknown in his country so to speak,while Jesus on his part played for the famous Palmerias and he was properly packaged with the Brazilian way of hype for Europe.
I posted a link to that earlier.

By the way, Firmino started the last 2 qualifiers against Peru and Uruguay. He was pretty solid with his combinations with Coutinho - Neymar - Paulinho. Especially his combo with Coutinho.

Humility017:



spot on....

Russians will never tolerate that..
they just wanna run the young man's future.
such a pity...he will have to leave the league if he really wanna play for Nigeria

OMANBALA1:


Valencia is not of African descent. How many black Africans did Alex Ferguson play all through his carreer? Hehe,Benni Mccarthy.
As for your messiah Pep,we all know how it went down between him and our boys Yaya and Keita and now Kelechi.
You are the one that should be fearing God.

TheGoodJoe:


Sentiments for who? Chelsea or Tottenham. Alli was ordinary. Deadly ke. He took a good chance but failed to create chances for Kane. Kane was virtually stranded up front.

Same Alli you watched does not count. I have told you Alli gave the ball away. Failed to control the ball repeatedly. Although he made a brilliant control and put the ball through the legs of a Chelsea defender. Apart from that, a run and the goal, he was not special. He was ordinary.

As for the penalty. Moses went to the ground before the contact. That is the definition of diving in football. Going down before being touched. Watch the replay. You will See Moses went down before the contact. It is not a penalty. Diving.

jobsat34:


The very first time i m gonna disagree with you.

A typical full back would have square played the ball, same thing SON tot moses was going to hence the slide tackle.

Moses knew he was going to slide, so he made sure he got the ball first, then slowed down for a contact.

Yes, the contact was minimal n soft, and yes 99.9% ref wud fell for it.

I wud rather praise Moses for his fast thinking than castigate him for the fall.

EEGA:
We could have defeated Senegal 3-1.Nacho missed two good chances .Moussa sow's goal shows that he is a regular player for his club.The difference b/w the 2017 SEs and those of 2014 WC is Competition.We are lacking that competition in Nacho's position and that of Echiejile.If a competitive and regular no 9 is invited .I think Nacho will make a move to another club.Let's look at Tammy and "try" Onyekuru.The earlier the better for Nacho.If not after helping us secure WC ticket.He might have to start as a substitute.He has the talent of being a deadly No 9 but needs game time to develop it.From what I observed against Senegal,if he continues this way another star will rise or be invited for him to start from the bench.Also,we can sub him to try other versatile players like Onyekuru.By the time Onyekuru steps up and scores as a Sub.Nacho will now realize his position is under threat.After what he did against Senegal we should have someone to sub him.Pls before commenting go to YouTube and watch the "full" match against Senegal.If Moussa Sow were in Nacho's shoes he will score those two nacho missed considering his goal.We had and created more chances than the Senegalese team.

Onyekuru:

He started the first goal and scored the second.

35 games
19 goals

TheGoodJoe:



Simple. Moses was going to the ground before contact. That is a dive. No need for history. The fact is Moses dived before the contact.

tbaba1234:
Iwobi and Iheanacho on the bench...

TheSuperNerd:

Wow!!! shocked to see Nacho on the bench. Ain't watching though ... thanks for the info..... And I hope your "disappointing" Arsenal don't disappoint.... loooollll

Good to see Iwobi back in the matchday squad too.

Will try follow online.
