If ighalo makes afcon squad a tribal BIGOT and hater here will commit sucide.

Icon4s:


I just wonder how the criticism of Ighalo here is linked to Tribalism.

ChrisKels:


At the bolded

From here, the straw that broke the camel's back was that chance he messed up against SA at the FNB stadium due to his Lukaku challenge. Gush I felt like kicking his teeth via the TV. Nacho should be excused from the team, dude should go back to Taye Academy in Owerri or Emmyboy's Blue Tigers of Mbaise to learn the basics

.

you guys need to stop this...no one hates ighalo here because of his tribe....

the fact that some person's don't like some players does not mean they're tribalist.

do you know that ighalo and oshimen are of the same tribe...in Edo state?

we should all tolerate each other's opinion

Earthquake2:


You couldn't have said it any better

andrew444:
So Efe Ambrose signed for derby county and has never made the bench?

Icon4s:


Same guy some here were clamoring for a return to the SE.

andrew444:


I am a fan of him

But he cant even make derby county?

Yes because he was doing well at hibernian, But not now

ChrisKels:


It is always easy to detect a half baked dimwit, they feel insecure and tend to fight shadows. Most times they are always guilty of semantic malapropisms bkus they use words they do not understand the meaning. That retard does not know what the words biggot and Tribalism mean, and I can prove it.

Icon4s:


Naa....Efe is gone. I stood by him when a couple of years back peeps here were pushing for Awaziem to replace him in the SE. But that was then. He should just go and retire in China or the US.

Koboko99:
osimhen issa goal.....kid can't just stop scoring

andrew444:


Lol

I finally agreed he his gone

But can you see now? he is just 30 years o and he his already gone 30 years that many players are still at top level feeling like 20 self

I told someone mikel still need to play at the top at the age of 32 but someone here is talking about him staying at boro and getting into their back room staff, no be 32 years old david luiz just signed 2 years Chelsea extension?

If i tell una say some of our players reduce age, many of una go say i no get proof

Icon4s:


Bros e don do. Abeg no break our head with Ogbonge grammar.

So how far na? How ur end?

Icon4s:


Talking about Mikel and David Luiz, it is a lot easier for Defenders to still keep doing it even after clocki 30+ but not so can be said for most Midfield and forward players. Age cheating is another subject matter but once most players hit that 30yrs mile stone, they start struggling. I am sure u will agree with me that even Messi of 5 years ago is not the Messi of 2019.

Humility017:


the miss against RSA was a crack on the camel's back...the last straw that broke the camel's back...was the miss against Man city few days ago...Even man city fans here agreed..that he should have scored that goal save for goodJoe....

Nacho should be asked to rest and watch the afcon from his house.....
he is no brainer

Brendan Rodgers reveals his plan for Kelechi Iheanacho at Leicester City

Brendan Rodgers has revealed how he plans to develop Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho and restored his lost confidence.

The Nigeria international,who was criticised for missing a good chance late on in Monday’s defeat at Manchester City, has had a disappointing season and has only scored twice this season in 36 appearances, although the vast majority of those were as a substitute, and his last goal came in September in the win over Huddersfield Town.

Rodgers admits a loan switch so the 22-year-old can get more game time, start scoring some goals again and get his confidence back, could be an option for him, but Rodgers believes there is still plenty of potential to improve and develop the young City striker.

“It’s a possibility, it’s not something I’m thinking about,” said Rodgers.

“He’s a boy that’s just got to where he’s got to on his pure natural talent.

“He’s played some games for Manchester City and we’ve seen what he can do in his few appearances there.

“I think when you come into a club like here with a hefty price tag, maybe you can try and force things too much as young player.

“Normally after that that season of adaptation then things can happen for you.

“Look at Divock Origi, he’s a classic example of a young player coming in to a big club, although Kels is a bit older.

“There’s always that possibility[of a loan]. However, my plan for him is to build up his confidence in this last period.

“Whether on Monday it was being back at his former club, he probably just snatched at the chance when it came, but my job is to rebuild that confidence.

“That’s what I do.

“Then hopefully in pre-season, he’ll hit the back of the net and get the sensation of scoring again. And by the start of the season we have a player who has the confidence.”

Rodgers certainly believes Iheanacho has plenty of potential to develop and he suggested he may look at a change of formation in pre-season so he can play both Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy.

“There’s no doubt there’s something there we can work with,” he added.

“That’s what gives me great confidence.

“At times, we’ll look at a different system that allows us to have two strikers up there.

“If he’s playing with Jamie that’s a really good balance.

“In previous clubs I’ve played a diamond, I’ve played 3-1-4-2. The idea when I came here was simplicity, give the clarity. and when they grasped the concepts then you can start to develop that.”

Players should convert penalties but still miss. As I said, Nacho went for an instinctive finish and missed. Missing is part of football and not the end of the World. Jamie Vardy has missed even better chances than those.

Finito.

ChrisKels:


U get time to dey reply these inconsequential dumb fellows. I select the persons I engage, not all folks here posses the sine-qua-nons to debate with me on subject matters, hence I over look their puerile hit outs. Some belong to section 8 and some the Disney world, reason I consider dem persona non gratas whenever they come fighting so hard for my attentions.

So Efe Ambrose signed for derby county and has never made the bench?

andrew444:


Messi of 5 years ago is not messi of today but messi stats of today has been better than 5 years ago

Barcelona signed arturo vidal at age 31, ac milan signed lucas biglia at age 30

Nigeria players are fond of that, when them reach 30 e go be like say na retirement time

I know mikel will play till 35, but someone here is already suggesting a mini retirement for him.

andrew444:


Sorry I meant top 9

Has musa done well in a top 9 before ?

Have musa been played there before ?

If ighalo is not playing osimhen should be the number 9 nothing like musa there

chaiii how are the mighty fallen

the once upon a time alien kid is now a lowly mortal
kaii walahi.... Nah original wa oooo

darkelf:


Or even Onuachu. He has the height and build to hold up play really well

darkelf:


Andrew444. I've got love for you bro but you gotta stop labelling someone a tribalist when they dislike a player.

I'm saying this because you seem to have made it a habit.

I doubt there are tribalist on this thread. Sometimes, its just personal preference (just the way I prefer if Mikel doesn't feature at AFCON)
