One major highlight of his game when he first came into the picture was his ball distribution. But what these two games have shown is that without confidence, even that part of his game will suffer.
We saw him hurriedly kicking all backpasses without first trapping the ball and looking up. I really hope he is psyched up because if we keep gifting the opponent possession in the guise of clearing his line, one of such would come back to hurt us.
It's funny we are taking Consolation from the Argentina Loss to Spain. Can someone tell me how celebrating the Argies Loss gonna improve our Team?. Let's face our Problem and leave them to face theirs.
Epp them, epp them, oga dey form big boy, at least our own talisman, na work permit hold am. Oga Messi balance for stand dey watch decimation.....very soon, na from pitch he go vex comot

Cadec007: the deal is lucrative oo....but any player united signs now with salary above 180k na wahala cos no english player in the squad is earning up to that amount since rooney left...though i would have to confirm again....btw Future Dr. Neezar i greet thee.
It would be a stupid mistake if barca let him go. Umtiti is black puyol
joeace2020: Abeg let's forget fight n return to football matters... Umtiti is popping up everywhere today. they say Mourinho has called him personally and he might come to us... bailly - - umtiti.. what a defense
You people should just forget it. Umtiti ain't going nowhere
Mujtahida: You didn't allow emotive sentiments to blind you and put Kelechi but you have given us a sharp team using objective and verifiable criteria. Kudos to you.
Leyqute: Why you think say dem dey hail am? Person wey dem murder come rise from the dead like Neo for Matrix. Even Trinilist and Morpheodawg sef dey fear am
asha80: the issue is this there is a serious crises in the way we run football at home that is why it is like we go cap in hand to beg FB to play for us(especially those who do not have affinity for nigeria except their surname)..i do not see brazillians crying about thiago alcantara(whose father was a bonafide ex brazillian international) opting to play for spain for he grew up there.
That is why we must stand firmly against what this current u20 coach is doing. If we take over aged players as our u20, a time will come when we'll need them to step into the SE, at that point, they'll be very old and won't be able to carry the burden of our national team. That is what we faced when players like kanu and okocha retired.
If we do not fix this, they'll be a huge gap in the future.
komekn: Professional career progression and choosing your national team are not the same thing. They are miles apart so using that comparison is simply not tenable.
Can I ask how many overtures where made to Jordan Torunarigha past, present and continuous using the supposed standard you have made.
Double standard.
National team participation is part of professional career progression, so they are one and the same.
I don't know why NFF went back for Torunarigha, his position on the issue has been straight from the beginning.
That is the difference between these English kids and Germans. While the Germans tell you straight up that they are waiting on Germany, the English kids will lead you on, give you hope and then embarrass you. Tammy has done it, Jordan has done it. Iorfa was doing the same until he realized he didn't have a future with the 3lions.
TheLoneCitizen: I don't see why we keep castigating these young men. Put yourself in their shoes, would you put Harvard University over UNILAG, we should be very satisfied at being 2nd choices. Everyone wants to thrive at the highest level.
You won't see me castigating these young boys. Matter of fact, I have always maintained that we'll be the 2nd option for most of these foreign lads, especially as most of them have close ties to those foreign countries than with Nigeria, that is very much understandable.
What I'm against, however, is komekn and others making it sound like we never made any attempt at iorfa and that he is being exempted from the national team due to corruption and other malpractice.
I'm all for actions and consequences. when you make a decision in life, be man enough to face the consequences of your actions, do not blame others. Iorfa wasn't straight with us, tammy embarrassed us. These actions have consequences and they should face them. Even in Education, not all universities accept 2nd choice candidates.
They told the NFF when he was a teenager that he will commit at the age of 23.
He made the commitment 2 years earlier last year Summer spoke with Rohr and he is still waiting.
Nigeria was always the second option for Iorfa and his father, they were holding out for England and they felt their chances where brighter at Iorfa's young age.
The plan was that he'd play for England if the invitation came or if they showed any interest, but if there is no interest before 23 then they'd fall back to their 2nd choice. They wanted to play a fast one on us.
You're the one always harping it into our heads that 19 in football terms is no longer a young age. A player is supposed to have made those decisions even before 20. If I approach you when I need you and you turn me down citing a hogwash as excuse, best believe, when you need me, I won't even look you twice.
We are a moving train, we stopped for him and he refused to hop on, we've moved on. He should join the next train(England) if he thinks he possesses the necessary boarding pass(talent).
It all started from the France match ooo. Where hensben was saying them bench a whole Pogba, ehn? Impossible..
