They did so last season too but only two made it to the quarterfinal. Tottenham will pick up either Juventus or PSG and that will be that for them while Liverpool will probably get Real Madrid or Bayern and that's also that for them. I am not sure I need to tell anybody that Manchester United only managed to delay their flight home, as a Barca fan I hope we get them ahead of Lyon and even Schalke 04
You are joking if you think this current Liverpool team will fall to Bayern or Madrid....

Maybe in their own backyard but certainly not at anfield..


Barca fans always picking on EPL teams at the slightest opportunity... Maybe u folks should appeal to join the EPL if the Catalonia dream is achieved.

Ahmed Musa? Let me just direct you to go back and watch that 2-2 draw against SA during Keshi's tenure, dude was missing open goals. Ahmed Musa is not even remotely clinical(but in the context of the Super Eagles he may get a mention, I mean who is he contesting against? Isaac Success with one EPL goal in a dozen games? Or Iheanacho who can't even score in the Efl again, probably waiting for when they will face Fleetwood and Peterborough again so he can score) and I would genuinely pick Ighalo and Mikel as better finishers.
Ahmed Musa is a good finisher. Watch highlights of his goals and compare it to say Ighalo and you'll see the difference.

Both of them are just very very poor in that aspect. Against Libya both legs Uzoho was just hoofing balls away, hardly completed a single pass, then against SA Ezenwa just kept on kicking everything that came his way either out of touch or straight to one of the South African CBs. For me both are not even close to national team materials, not by any stretch of the imagination if we are being honest I mean Courtois does not in anyway have better reflexes than Navas or even Cillisen but he is starting for Madrid, I remember when we had our VC's cup and we had to take a young goalkeeper from our 400level, dude's reflexes were so good and I can bet all my money that his reflexes are better than most of the keepers we have in the world today, but his distribution and control of his back line was poor, these are the things that distinguish good GKs from top GKs. Like I said, both of the keepers are very very poor and if we have any opportunity we should consider improving the options we have.
Yeah they both don't fill me with confidence tbh. But Uzoho did look like he had good distribution and footwork. I remember someone said it's because he played as an outfield player before he got converted to a goalie.

Rather, it should be "Ahmed Musa is now a good finisher"

The Musa of Pre Rohr era was very wasteful.. He only had two things in abundance: pace and skills.. His final ball product and finishing were very bad...Imagine those days when Musa and Ideye started grin ..Missing goals everywhere...

But right now,he has really mature... He now knows how to use his skills well.. I think Rohr decision to keep him on the bench in the beginning helped him improve cus he was too comfortable under Keshi,Siasia and Oliseh

Maybe Iheanacho needs that kind of treatment too..

Nah I'm talking about Musa at Cska. His pace and finishing are the only thing I've always felt he had. It's just not consistent

Did i hear any noise about that?

Nigerians always looking for different ways to diss a player they dont like
Name players I've dissed on this thread.


You want to compare an aged established star who's experiencing a downturn of form to a boy we're expecting to be a world best.

I don't lower the bar for nobody.

Not even an assist in a champions league game.

I think Rohr wants him to leave the Turkish league for one of Europe's top 5 league.

If Rohr were to consider players in Turkey, Emem Eduok should be called up ahead of Onyekuru .

Onyekuru has played up to 10 champions league games, how many more does he need to secure a work permit to play in England?
Onyekuru needs to up his game against the best teams with organised defense in Europe.

Rohr doesn't fancy him, and we saw how he refused to help his case in the double-legged game against Libya.

Give the boy time he is 21 years old

Are you expecting him to score more than the World established star ?

As if galatasaray is a team who can even make it to the next round or a player in their team can score more than 3 goals .

Iheanacho got 3 champions league goals at city despite less playing minutes does that make him not to be criticized?

Even if onyekuru got 10 champions league goals you guys will still look for another excuse.

Double plus double X double standard by you.

At what stage in thier careers where they invited to play U23.

You use the term established players very generously to the point of deception.
Double standards because I refuse to view things with your lenses.

Iorfa is not above the the U-23 level.


And the example of Ekong is desperate you scraping the bottom of a burned pot of jollof, too make a point without any substance. Ekong was playing in the backwaters of Norway on loan from Gent were he couldn't get games. Ekong was established but only in the SE.
Ekong was the captain of his team there. And your attempt at humor this time was successful, gotta hand it to you.

If Iorfa can't start with the U-23s because of the pride you wear on his behalf, then he's gon lose out.

When Mikel, Osaze were established players who had already played first for SE at this stage you are deliberately being misleading.
Well, since, he played for the English junior teams, he'd have to debut for the senior team before he can play for the Olympic team. That happens only if the coach needs him.


Dominic has been an established players for over 4 seasons. A player who opted to play in Championship rejecting multiple offers from EPL sides. In the name of loyalty to Wolves.

Dominic Iorfa is in a unique situation that has nothing to do with football but everything to do with the money politics of football and agent manipulation by Mendes.
I'm not emotionally attached to any players, so I could care less about anything other than their not playing or not playing well.

Yes, I expect him to do the exact same thing, if he wants to be best.

Onyekuru is special, so I won't expect less from him.

Let him score the 10 goals and see what excuse i'd bring.

Funny enough ball playing is meant to his strength and he showed it at the game against Argentina. One of the reasons I preferred him to Ezenwa.
Ball clearance was never Uzoho's strength. He was just less jittery than Akpeyi.

It's a really bad situation bro. Calls for very urgent attention. Rohr needs to up his scouting game with regards to GK's. I don't think getting a GK with fairly accurate ball clearance should be such a big ask in a footballing nation such as Nigeria. Let Rohr swallow his pride and comb the NPFL...even the NNL for a GK.

Uzoho is poorer than we think, believe me. He is only benefiting from a decent back line. Go rewatch the Libya away game. Dude is a disaster waiting to happen.

That said, I'd pick Ezenwa ahead of him. At least Ezenwa's clearances are better. Lesser evil....

Ezenwa is not even the best keeper in Enyimba.
