At last Chukwueze comes on 73rd minute, he should find it a lot easier than his first game.

Rangers are very tired and down to 10 men so it's open for him to shine.

U re really scared of Chukwueze scoring, taking all these precautions 1st-Flanagan being a shadow of his former self 2nd-Tiredness.

Bro. just admit that the boy is good and stop comparing him with Umar who couldn't get SE call- up with his exploits in Eredivisie.

We re talking of Chukwueze a LA liga player.

Game over 0-0

Chukwueze came on and just not enough time to show anything. He had One very good shot on goal, but then I expected him to finish off Flanagan, but Flanagan actually skilled him and took the ball off him on one occasion. But he did get him back with good skill and got him yellow carded with trickery.

Extremely disappointed with Villareal a La Liga team. Rangers would be flogged comprehensively by Fulham bottom of the EPL.

I expect expected them to win comprehensively and not struggle. For a whole half Rangers were down unjustifiably to 10 men and Villareal could not take advantage.

Rangers would definitely struggle with the top half of the Championship.

Oboy Chukwueze was interesting playing just behind the striker(AM) in his cameo appearance against Rangers, though cameos can be deceptive

realpoacher:
At bolded, FYI, Lobi stars have more prestige in the CCL than USD Loum or whatever their name is from Cameroon

Go and check your records

Lobi stars in the early 2000 played very well in the Champions League and won matches away when they needed to

As a matter of fact, these are matches that I watched live on TV because I am a fanatic football fan

I am not just the Chelsea, Barcelona fan.. No, in the past I watch anything football from 5-aside live and on TV to Argentine, Mexican, USA, South African, Norwegian, Portuguese leagues...

I have only toned down a little of recent since many years of Nigerian football disappointment

Growing up, I am the only one that will scan the whole of the neighborhood looking for where to watch Ghana vs New Zealand U-17 world Cup match by 2am even at the risk of my life in a strange town

So when I complain about the poor performance of our teams, I am predisposed to know by experience the stand point of my arguments

I stand to be quoted anywhere,

"NIGERIA BY VIRTUE OF EXPERIENCE, ACCOMPLISHMENT AND LEVEL, HAS NO BUSINESS STRUGLING ON THE CONTINENT IN ALL CADRE OF FOOTBALL"

As Sir Southgate will say, African football seems to be retrogressing

And I will add to it by saying that Nigeria and the NPFL should be out there competing with the best of the world against Europe and America, not losing 1-0 away in Doula and coming to give me excuses.

Toh

O pari

Did you watch the game❓

Rangers are technically inferior to Villarreal and half to compensate with harder work rate and pressing.

This is obvious, any time a team is down to 10 men they have to work way harder and are at a clear Disadvantage.

This is not about Chukwueze but the whole team. And it's an indictment on the Lower segment of La Liga. That they couldn't finish off Rangers.

I watched the whole game not just Chukwueze.

On your comment. I have never compared himas a player to Umar. I really expected him to score, l expected him to start but none of that happened.

So because Villarreal didn't beat rangers you are disappointed ? How do you watch your football ?

Championship teams are crap read my lips

You are just too stubborn to admit a player is good because he is not England brought up ,but you are quick to hype waste man like solanke

Mr komekn change your ways and try to be sincere when you say things ,stop taking sides on the players you like ,this is a faceless forum nobody will beat you .

I can assure you that the only Epl team that will win this Villarreal team is mancity and Liverpool ,they will give Chelsea a run for their money and the rest big team

Last time after beating Real Betis...the commentator said the way they play does not fit their current position in La Liga....i think their problem is a quality striker....every other department is solid...just a predator in the box is what they need

One question but you will never be able to answer it.

Show me where l hyped Solanke, that's all please❓ Or it means you lack integrity, unless you have created your own personal definition of Hype.

So do you think it's unfair to expect Villareal in the mighty La Liga to beat Rangers over the two legs. particularly a Rangers that was down to 10 men.

How do you watch football ❓ ❓

I was and still am dissapointed in the performance of Villareal. I expected much more.

Maybe La Liga is loosing it's superiority in European football❓

Nigeria’s youth national team coach, Paul Aigbogun has been forced to put aside some former Golden Eaglets players being considered for his squad to next month’s West African Football Union (WAFU) U-20 Cup of Nations, because the organisers termed them ‘under-aged.’

Is this how u draw conclusions, after one game?
We can draw similar conclusions from the other results as well.

realpoacher:
Have you asked yourself why we lost the two slots in the first instance?

If not for our poor performance, would we have lost them?

Even after losing them, will performing woefully on the road against any opponent bring it back?

How you go on and on defending terrible performance and attitudes amazes me

Baba we are mediocre at best to say the least

The earlier we buckle up the better for everyone

So we shouldn't restructure our football and aim for the sky rather we should stand and look with hands akimbo?

You are truly not helping NPFL cause

The fact of the matter is, if u think losing 1-0 away from home is a horrible result u just don't know football. There is just no sugar coating that.

I think you are dreaming wake up, this is blind support.

Over the two legs.

Considering Rangers where a man down, Villareal should really have finished them off.

3 things to say

Nacho Vs Solanke must be considered as hype o. U compared a full professional to a youth team star/ first team sanitation engineer

@ Bolded, I wanted to ask u the same thing because countless times we have seen teams win with 10 men on the pitch. In fact some teams play better when reduced a man.

Btw Isaac Success signs new 5 year contract with Watford, any comments?

This is another evidence that a striker does not have to score goals to help his team. How many goals has the beast scored in the past 2 years? But yet.....


Isaac Success: Watford forward signs new five-year deal

29 November 2018


Nigeria forward Isaac Success has signed a new five-year contract with Watford to keep him at the Premier League club until 2023.

The 22-year-old moved to Vicarage Road from Spanish side Granada in July 2016 and has since gone on to make 35 appearances for the Hornets.

He spent the the second half of the 2017-18 season on loan to Malaga but has scored three goals in all competitions this term for Watford.

Success has won four caps for Nigeria.

"This is a just reward for Isaac's continued hard work and application this season," said Watford chairman Scott Duxbury.

"We look forward to seeing him develop further over the coming years."

Watford manager Javi Gracia signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract on Wednesday.

I will reiterate my opinion to be clear as a clear No.9 leading the front point man STRIKER, I rate Solanke higher than KC.

That's not hype, that's just matter of fact, the same way l rate Rangers journey man striker Kyle Lafferty higher. In effect what I am saying is that KC is not striker. If that's your definition of Hype then you have created your own version of the English language.

Rangers is in the Scottish premier league 20 places below La Liga. Rangers will struggle in English league one. When a team like Rangers is down to 10 men against a La Liga team it should be game over.

If Watford want to keep a striker they paid £12.5 million for three season ago who has scored 2 goals after 30 games in the EPL. That's entirely thier business that's thier standard.

This is good news for Isaac success ,even the coach signing a new deal shows the coach will help him a lot

Somebody is calling him a waste man ,a waste man has just won a contract till 2023

The convos we had were never about being a striker or not. They were about who was better. Remember u even cooked up fake cup goals for Solanke Keep your hands off that goal post!!

So now u want to say Watford don't know what they are doing abi? How about u never knew what u were talking about in the first place. Watch football don't just look at stats, they only tell a piece of the story

Under-aged?
That word is very strange in Nigerian football.
Who are the Organisers if I may ask

I didn't cook up fake goals in the plural I in error added one goal to his Solanke tally, no biggie.

I notice that you are mamupulatively selective as you choose not to into enter the discourse the comparison l made with Tega Abrahams, and other strikers with KC ❓Why Solanke alone❓

When the text is taken out of context it becomes a CON.

But you can not discard the terms of comparison, you must keep matters in context. Which is simply that KC is not a true number 9 and it is in that context the comparison is made between KC and Solanke and other strikers.

How can you compare two things that are different.

How many times have clubs paid insane money for players and discovered it's a big mistake. The big clubs can write it off, but not the smaller ones.

So clubs like Watford, Leicester, etc will persevere they simply can not afford not too. If after three seasons you are waiting for a 22 year old player to develop. Will you must have a lot of time or few choices.

Clementoke:

I think they are referring to some of the current Golden Eaglets players who failed the MRI

Guys need to stop haranguing komekn about Chukwueze. We know what we know for a fact and believes what he wants to believe. No amount of nairaland chat will change that.

charlesemeka85:
Bukayo Saka has moved a step closer in his bid to break the record of Nigeria's youngest debutant for Premier League side Arsenal after he was named in their match day squad for this evening's Europa League meeting against Vorskla Poltava.

It was not certain that the Hale End Academy product would be included in the 18 as manager Unai Emery earlier named 20 players on the provisional roster for the trip to Kiev on Wednesday.

With one eye on the North London derby vs Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, the Spanish tactician took ten youngsters to Kiev, including Bukayo Saka.

Saka will become the youngest player of Nigerian descent to debut for Arsenal if he comes off the bench against the Ukrainians, aged 17 years, 2 months, 24 days.

It is also worth noting that the winger cum fullback will become the youngest player of Nigerian descent to feature in the Europa League if he gets game time.

That record is currently held by former Everton midfielder Hope Akpan, who was aged 18 years, 4 months, 3 days when he faced BATE Borisov in December 2009.

Arsenal Starting XI Vs Vorskla Poltava : Cech, Lichtsteiner, Jenkinson, Holding, Maitland-Niles, Guendouzi, Elneny, Willock, Ramsey, Smith Rowe, Nketiah.

Substitutes: Martinez, Osei-Tutu, Medley, Gilmour, Saka, Mkhitaryan, John-Jules

Bukayo Saka's left reminds me of Taiye Taiwo.
