I watch football not stats. Saka is an express way against a speedy winger, a tricky winger and or a bully. Defensively Saka can't lace the boots of Brandon Williams of Manchester United, the least rated(though bkus of his age) left back in England's pecking order of natural left backs

Your get eagle eyes for players sha

I would pick anybody ahead of those two, but, no, Saka isn't as good as Chillwell, Rose, Williams and Shaw, thats not to take anything away from his abilities, after all, he isn't a natural left back. I doubt he would remain there once kieran Tieney is back for Arsenal.

You forgot ryan Bertrand

Can you name the defenders?

Besides everybody knows Tomori's weakness which is that he doesn't have the frame for a Center back. If Saka becomes Arsenal's first choice LB next season, forget it

Let’s see ,but kolasinac tierney have been having injury issues that’s why

Can you remember any defensive mistake he made in his matches as a makeshift lb? He provided 4 assists from that position

Who will prevent him? Chilwell that is flopping at Leicester? Danny Rose that is struggling for gametime or Shaw that is finished? I don't want to mention Williams because he's not even a competition

On current form Saka walks into the England national team

How is chilwell flopping at Leicester ? Yes chilwell is overrated but not flopping okay

If chilwell is that bad he won’t play 11 games for England within a year

I'm not against calling up foreign borns. They're equally Nigerian and deserve a shot at the national teams as much as our local borns. What I'm against is calling a guy with no apparent roots to Nigeria, who has (most probably) never been to Nigeria talk more of living in it for the 15 years our constitution prescribes for naturalization. I realize that we aren't there yet in terms of local basketball quality but hiring mercenaries to represent us will not solve the problem.

If we want good basketball teams, then let us get good coaches (foreign or local), and good facilities and league structures. Hiring mercs to make us look good would only amount to artificial development and will surely prove counterproductive to the development of the sport in Nigeria in the long run. There are no shortcuts to genuine development.

NB: It is possible that proof may emerge that the Spencer guy truly has biological roots to Nigeria, if that is the case, then he has as much rights to vie for a spot in the teams as anybody else. I made this post in the absence of any such evidence.



Not when his father is a Nigerian

The guy is good o
3 points shooter
A good guard he is

But also a turnover baba just like other good guards out there.

I am totally confused here. I do not get it. Unless it was a defensive formation. Like a park bus approach. Who they were playing will go a long way. Joe Allen even in a forward position is baffling.

I think during play, the formation will switch to a 3-5-2 with Lallana and Coutinho playing the forward roles. Joe Allen will drop to the creative midfield role while Moreno will offer width down the left. Henderson will still maintain position but will drift to midfield when they lose the ball or try to keep possession. He will go down the flanks but not too forward.

The play will be more off a direct one with the balls heading to Lallana and Coutinho for most of the forward play. This is to narrow the defensive set up of the opposition while Moreno will bombard the space with pace when the gaps come.

The opposition set up and line up can create a better picture.

There's something about the NBBF and how they go about their business, they are quite organized.

With proper funding, there shouldn't be any cries about unpaid wages.

You are right... The NBBF is probably the most organised sport Federation in this country..

Their major problem is lack of funding...

I read somewhere that the big catch is Saka.

Also Ademola Lookman's switch is complete.

And Ebere Eze plus Ovie Ejaria have agreed to play for us.

If this turns out to be true then we would have a complete team. Except that Akpeyi would still be the one at the goal post. grin
