I wan't hallucinating the day i saw him play against colombia.His thinking faculty is as slow as taiye

At times I doubt if you've watched Kaita from '2005 up till now. As per the Colombia game, he was played in an unfamiliar outside-right position and he still did credibly well. Even Lagerback admitted as much.

Kaita wins Lagerback praise

Posted: 2010-05-31 11:30

Sani Kaita earned glowing praise from Nigeria boss Lars Lagerback after excelling in an unusual right wing position in the Super Eagles 1-1 draw against Colombia on Sunday night.

Kaita was deployed on the right wing by and was largely instrumental in maintaining team shape and balance despite being a natural defensive midfielder.

It was a display that left Lagerback impressed.

"He was my man of the match," the Swede said. "He was absolutely outstanding and I think he was miles ahead of everybody."
Lars, was however, less pleased with the manner of the Super Eagles giving up a 12th minute goal to Carlos Valdes.

"It is a calamity when a player loses a 1v1. I was not happy with the goal, but we have to work harder on that."

Overall though, the Swede was happy to see improvements.

"This is a big improvement from the last game. I have only trained this team for seven times, and they have shown good quality.

"I think they will improve more, and the team will do better when they play more."

Lagerback will name his final 23-man squad later on Monday.

Though I disagree with Lagerback on Kaita's performance been outstanding (the outstanding players were Odiah and Haruna IMO), Kaita definitely had an above average performance against Colombia. People like you and 12large should stick to discussing soccer at the vendor's stand. Rubbish!

_{Leaves the thread wondering if peeps really expect Kaita to transform overnight into an explosive winger like Arjen Robben.}

She was murdered. . .E0D!

The OP probably just coped his N82. That's why he's so freaked and excited.

The match was a good performace by the team considering their terrible display in recent times.Here is my analysis of the players.


I will mention some players that find it difficult to warm their way into the heart of many soccer enthusiast

1.John Utaka- He showed glimpses of what he is capable of doing and despite playing in an unfamiliar position,he still held on to the ball,thereby keeping possession from the opposition's side.His time in the field was to short to fully assess him 5.5/10

2. Taiye- worst on the pitch.If he is going to be useless upfront,why does he make this a natural phenomenon?Diomansy camara exposed his shabby defense.The problem with taiye ,according to many soccer analyst is his bad recovery after going upfont.Alas that is just 50% of his weakness.The other 50 lies in the fact that Taiye is beatable at the back.Beatable = Dribbable.I dont encourage  a first team shirt for this marsielle defender.I still prefer Echiejele in that position. I will rate him 4.5/10

3 Sani Keita.The guy played in the unfamiliar position .This guy will never be a fan of soccer pundits that chant '' All we are saying give us more goals''.Though I was  also his die hard critic (like I always did Garba) but no team can be perfect. I believe his inclusion was on the basis of the quota system 5/10


In conclusion this is the closest we have had in assembling a good team with the right attitude after the patriots of USA 94.Apart from Taiye Taiwo ,I give all the other players that played in  the match against Colombia,an above average mark

This is my rating in ascending order

Haruna Odiah Enyeama 6.5/10

Rabiu Adeleye Obafemi Uche 6 /10

Osaze Nsofor Utaka 5.5 /10

Kaita 5/10

Taiye 4.5 /10

Sanni Kaita's inclusion is on quota system? Better leave that thing you're smoking.

It's been confirmed. NFF lied about Anichebe being injured.

Which kain thread be this?  You nor go carry cane and koboko make you flog the devil commot for the child  

The writer dey craze. Wetin concern Super Eagles with 419? Na thunder go fire that Tom McCoy yansh.

Theo Walcott come sabi play ball? The guy just be like Pius Ikedia. . .na only to run parallel to line, reach corner flag & cross im sabi. I'm not surprised by his ommission.

Heard the pilots said the plane could still fly but Lulu put his foot down and said he would not risk the life of the players.

Good one by Lulu!

Funny enough I think South Africa will have the best performance by an African team. I've watched them play and there is a sort of telepathy and understanding between their players that I haven't seen in the other African teams. Those guys dey tap soccer abeg. . .I tip them to qualify from their so called group of death.

Eastbay:
UYou have a point on that,though I think Gasol needs to be more consistent delivering in the post-season.
Gasol will not have the tea-party he had through the west playoffs in terms of facing big-men.Boston have some decent big-boys like Perkins,Big Baby and even Garnett.All three can be expendable when it comes to commiting fouls.Phoenix,Utah and Oklahoma were smaller,and as such PAu could dominate whoever toothpick that served as their respective centers.
Im sure Boston won't waste too much effort trying to shut Kobe down.It's going to be largely futile attempting that.They will instead focus on making sure the others (D-Fish,Artest,Pau and Bynum) don't get off offensively. . .

It's what any right thinking coach would do. Still I tip Lakers to take it though it'll go down to the last game.

Eastbay:
But Phil was there 2008 when they lost. . .

True but don't forget Phil Jackson is the special one of Basketball (at least in the NBA). Moreover Kobe & Gasol have this camaraderieship, understanding & synergy that has worked wonders for the Lakers this season.

Dear Moderators of Nairaland,

Phemour has been sending me PM's and Ive been trying to YIM and FB him that Im no more a Moderator and that I cannot reply his PM. I even created a thread for it here on nairaland but guess he did not see it.

And than he PM me again saying that I forggoten him which I did not,. . . I am unable to PM him here and he seem to not be on YIM nor on his FB. . .

is it possible for any of you to please PM him saying that Im no more a Moderator and that I cannot reply his PM but I did send him offline msg's via FB and YIM?

Thank you so much. . . I just dont want him to think that I have forggoten him.

Seems to me like he desperately needs something from you. Why not send him one of your styrofoam stuffed teddies? I'm sure he'd appreciate that and stop sending you PM's saying you've forgotten him.

Rubbish!

? ? ?

All these half-baked guys forming gurus sef. . .Shioor!

Seun:
Yep. Let's create a thread for it?

Thread already exists.
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-331103.0.html

I don't believe all these injury stories been bandied around to explain the dropping of certain players.
Onyekachi Apam  - I agree he was injured.
Victor Anichebe - How come we didn't hear he was injured until after he was dropped? Did he cop his injury between tuesday and now? In the coming days the player will come out and reveal the truth.
Ikechukwu Uche - the guy had recovered from his injury and had even featured for his club so I refuse to believe he was dropped due to injury.

Kanu and Utaka's condition is worse than any injury. Their case be like paralysed patient confined to wheel chairs. They're dead logs of wood. Those guys should never have made the team.

I'm extremely dissapointed in Lagerback for including those two players and dropping Anichebe and Ike Uche.

lagerback was pressurized and arm-twisted into taking kanu and utaka.

I'm tipping L.A Lakers to win cos of Phil Jackson.

He was okay against Colombia. Lets see how he performs against North Korea.

I'm pissed too. Imagine selecting Kanu & Utaka and dropping Ikechukwu Uche and Anichebe. I don't believe the silly excuse of injury been bandied around for the dropping of these players. Lagerback na MUMU I swear.

Muma-gee should be in her 30's. Anything contrary to that na big lie.
