Certitude:. He's like Nigeria's Lingard. All activities and pace, but no end product. That thing low-key annoys me, as he usually end up putting us under pressure with unnecessary ball hugging, and he ends up doing or wrong pass or doing a back pass |

Then no matter what league he is in he should be the stand out player for club and league. Please do not make reference to youth glories they are TOTALLY IRRELEVANT.

charlesemeka85: True talent doesn't hide. There is a HUGE DISPARITY between youth football and senior first team football. Nwakali has had three seasons in European football and has been comprehensively WOEFUL. This is where you see emotive sentiment in the extreme, yet people call him a prospect. Talent alone will not get you ahead but diligence and hard work. These are things he seems to lack. What level is the Sudanese U23 team if indeed they are U23 but that's not important. We have a U23 league in the UK. Would it be wrong to suggest that the Chelsea or Fulham U23 are most likely better than them. Consider that Nwakali with all his extraordinary talent struggled at Porto B. He then plays against Sudan and and some think he has arrived. Using the Sudanese match as a yardstick for quality is nonsensical in the extreme. 1 Like 1 Share |

chrisooblog: Aribo actually had multiple offers for the EPL but believed that progression would be easier under the tutelage of Gerrard. That assumption is now working. It's quite funny when l mentioned these guys donkeys ago l got all the vitriolic abuse under the sun. That league one is too low for the SE bla bla bla. That l am biased against Nigerian born players and a hater bla bla bla biased and a HATER. Look at the sudden massive U TURN l know how Charlesemeka was also subjected to the same harangue.

TheGoodJoe: Agreed without question. With regards to the bold Akinfenwa comes to mind, it is not very nice to see but it's Effective and wins games. I remember him completely cancelling out too Liverpool defenders when he played Liverpool in the FA cup. I think Osimhen need to learn how to time his runs and use his pace better and think more about his positioning. Sometimes he's running around like a headless chicken to little effect. Getting into physical battles is not his type of game. 1 Like |

BascoVanVeli: Not exactly. Scotland as a league has a much lower rating than Turkey. But there are two teams that are far better than the rest. Celtic and Glasgow Rangers and have a higher rating or comparable to Galatasaray and Fenerbache. Then the other issue is that the Scottish premier league mimicks the EPL. Making the transition to the EPL not so difficult. I will remind you to consider where Van Dyke came from arguably the best Defender in the world. Barcelona once bought a striker from Celtic. One of the best U 16 players in the world is at Celtic. So it's not so straight forward. 1 Like |

One of my biggest problems for the Super Eagles is that we don't have a single quality pitch in the whole of Nigeria for my team to play matches on. This is not acceptable for a country of Nigeria's level. Gernot Rohr 9 Likes |

benji93: Let me give you three current examples. Lukaku destroy opponents with both pace and power. His power play transfers to how he runs ( power running) that means if you try to barge him when he running you are the one most likely to.be thrown of the pitch. Lukaku doesn't have aerial dominance as much but good technical ability although touch isn't great but he always scores a nightmare to defenders. Benteke is a beast in the air but you must play to his strengths, accurate crosses in the box and balls to feet in the box. I remember him receiving the ball with Yobo right on him but behind him, he successfully held Yobo off and scored against Norwich. Currently Crystal are not playing to his strengths same problem at Liverpool. The master of all currently for me is "Bad boy" BALOTELLI actually he is a really nice guy and very generous too. But he combines Athletic ability , power and strength and crazy technical ability with pin point accurate finishing. He does it all, Aerial dominance plus power running. If only he had the right attitude he would be competing with Ronaldo and Messi. He power runs, positionsl sense excellent. And his 1 on 1 even 1 on 2 is legendary. |

seankafor: Oga stop saying this Na. In all honesty, do you think we can play that sort of fluid passing game we played on Tuesday on that Asaba pitch. Be truthful with your answer. The only pitch were we can still play that kind of game is the UYo stadium. But the NFF decided to ignore UYo for an Asaba potato farm that they call pitch 1 Like 1 Share |

Many times I'm very dissapointed that we can't boast of a single quality pitch in 9ja.... The whole north east west south of Nigeria and we don't have a 90 thousand cap stadium, very very very bad.... If countries were bringing their stadiums, we can only boast of uyo... We cant even host Afcon...not to talk world cup or Olympics.. Abuja stadium- coma National stadium - dead, buried, Ash thrown in the Atlantic... |
