This is the summary of the obidient movement

Labour Party is not Obidient movement.

Whatever nomenclature you choose to call it, it's a set of Nigerians that want good governance. Simple.

I just dey look them, maybe Dem Neva Sabi as party politics dey go. If no be PDP wey no serious, those g5 governors suppose don chop suspension since... Best you can do as a member of a party is pass on campaigning for a candidate you don't agree with, but to say you'd belong to one party, then campaign for another party far from normal.

The High court judge is Justice Liman that was once suspended for corruption by the NJC. He was the one that issued a court order from the US.

It's sad seeing him being limited because of injury.
I so hate it when a good player can't enjoy his footballing career because of injuries. It's so sad

Some people are not just built for sports

Any one who can explain is on drugs.

E for better for Tierney to begin learning coaching now. That's how it happened for Klopp and Wenger and all those German young managers. If injury nor gree you start learning coaching early. It can give you over 30years career.

Cool 😎

This is exactly my point when people are omitting Foden.

How will it be that an Epl best player can't break into England squad?
Like not only a Man City starter but current Epl best and league winner. Such player is considered a squad player because of balance? I've never heard of such sha and I doubt the Fa will take it lightly if Southgate does such.
It's not easy at all for a coach to bench him, no matter the reason he wants to give. Bellingham winning La liga best player even compounds matter.


Southgate should just play him and Bellingham in midfield. Forcing him out on the wings (not even his favorable wing sef) will not do both England and Foden any favor

Thank you jare.

If Southgate can't find a role for Foden he will be criticised, and if he dare loses he is in soup, it's very simple. I remember it was a debate some weeks ago.

mostob:
Let me divide everything for you and move.

1. Your bolded is contradictory. Balance has nothing to do with best players. You can try to fit all your best players in the same lineup and an inferior team will beat your team mercilessly.

2. Saka and Salad are inverted wingers by your definition but both are different type of player. Arteta may play him as a wide forward in future but for now, he is a winger. The only wing forward I our team in Martinelli that's why we wanted Arteta to play him as a striker sometimes back.

3. All your examples didn't follow. The teams you mentioned were able to find balance and at the same time fit in their best players in the team. Can you say the same about England?

4. Kovacic is not an AM!!!!!

Your number 1 and number 3 especially the bolded part are different.

As for your question about England, I think you are living in denial because England has all her best players fitted into the first team.

I gave you several examples and you lie that they don't fit in and I am like I thought you were going to give me one example of a country that does not play all their best players in their first team.

Even the Serbia I am watching now has Vlahovic and Mitrovic both strikers in their team. Even Tadic is playing as a no10.

It's easy to just call someone's observation contradictory without providing any evidence simply because you can type. I challenge you to give me one example.

germaphobe:

Uruguay you mean?.

Oh thanks for the correction.

Let me add Germany in this Euro.

They have Kroos, Gundogan, Musiala, Wirtz, Havertz and they played all of them. Formation 4-2-3-1 no wingers in their starting eleven. Not that they don't have but they play all their best players.

Mostob

mostob:
When you have a close to star-studded team in which every players are on top of their game, what you as a coach should consider first is balance.

Lionel Scaloni couldn't take Dybala to Copa America. Sometimes, we have seen Dybala and Lautaro Martinez sitting in the bench. Why? There must be balance.

The formation you proposed here can't work please. Saka is a winger, a proper winger at that.. not a wide forward.

First of all Saka is not a proper winger. At bestbhebis inverted. An inverted winger is a forward. A proper winger is like a midfielder.

That said, I am not against balance. I am simply saying that whatever you do you must accommodate your best players. National team football is not club football where you get all you want. In national team it's what's available so you try to maximise it. That's what makes you a national team coach.

Let me use Scotland as an example. They have two class left backs. In Tierney and Robinson. They have to play both of them. That's why they play a bac three so Tierney plays as a half CB.

Another example is Croatia that just finished playing. They have to clash AM in Kovacic and Modric. They played both of them.

If your best players are two strikers, play a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2. When Mexico had Forlan and Suarez they played both. The only way you can avoid this is if both are GKs.

mostob:
Balance should come first before trying to shoehorn players into the starting line up based on their name or whatever. And no, the 442 won't be ideal for England because of the profile of wingers they have.

What ever system or balance you will suggest must include those two as well as other key players if not the team's strength will be diminished.

By the way which wingers? Only winger I see is Saka and he can play with Kane as a front two

................... Kane...... Saka..................
..................... Bellingham.....................
Foden........................................... TAA
........................... Rice............................

alienating everyone and anyone is in the core dna of the obidient

imagine the deranged audacity, disrespect and outright stupidity of calling obj a political prostitute and jobber

According to MC Cipolla laws of stupidity those who support actions that does not benefit them are the stupid ones.

We need that level of audacity to change the political and socioeconomic landscape of this country. For years politicians have been doing things any how and going Scot free. We need critics like the 'obidiiots' who can criticise anyone including the man that carries the face of the mob.

I don't get this idea of showing respect to someone who failed to respect himself. Respect is reciprocal. If a elder steals and is caught, I shouldn't call him ole because he is my egbon? That's stupidity. If you don't dance naked on the streets no body will call you a madman. Even if it is culture let the culture change because it is not beneficial to anyone.

Nigeria’s Worrisome Corporate Exodus - Punch Editorial

https://www.nairaland.com/8129052/nigerias-worrisome-corporate-exodus-punch .

I thought the argument has always been that we dont pay enough tax in Nigeria . Here is Dangote alleging he pays 52 per cent tax on every one Naira his company earns. Let’s not forget the multiple taxation we the common men face .

At least we can see that it’s not because the foreign investors cannot compete that’s why they are leaving in droves . I mean ; in what investment friendly country will u be expected to pay 52 per cent tax , forced to provide your own electricity , forced to pay community development levies , face difficulties in repatriating profit in foreign currency, face security threat to ur expats , etc ?

Wise men say...
Only fools rush in...
But I can't help ...
Supporting BAT 🦇

germaphobe:

Incomings will be decisive but regardless of who's coming in, anything trophyless again I jump ship. Arteta better start taking every competition seriously as pep does, no be Wenger wey no value Calabar cup(it's actually crazy that Wenger didn't lift the carabao cup in his 26 years). All of them matters, all of Dem.

You are spot on. Having gone so close to the title till the last day, not winning the league next season will be retrogression.

I hope we can get all the additions we need because there is no more excuse to give.

mostob:
He will come in from the bench. Or he can even start while Foden comes in later. Anyhow sha

Any system must accommodate the two to maximise the strength of the team.

The worst is to play them as a double 8 with a sitting DM at the base. Or do what Ancelotti does, play them in a diamond midfield with either at the tip.

mostob:
Foden, Rice and Mainoo should be starting in midfield but Southgate knows better.

If France or Germany catch this England team eh...

So where will Bellingham play?

BATeria infected minions are doing their best to discredit the song. Some of them are wondering how they will feed after typing their nonsense. However let them know that the message has been passed.

You should be rushing back to Nigeria to enjoy the renewed hope. Since you ran away to stone the devil you never came back.

OasisX:



.......how many times do I need to educate Obimumûs that headlines don't always tell the full story?!

Since we are dummies, the best way to tell us that BAT is doing well is to give us an example of another country that is suffering the same pains like us?

Jodera:
Lol, experience shouldn't be a problem na. This guy have been in top flight football for how many years now. It's not as if we're buying one greenhorn from Africa or far east Europe.

Anyways, let's just see wetin Arteta and Edu go get for us. Las Las, we fit no buy any Striker sef

I neto see the person that marketed Solanke to you. That person is a great marketer.

BlueRayDick:




There’s nothing , absolutely nothing that warrants the club to to have sleepless night over keeping an amateur player that won’t turn 17 until later this year.

If the boy feels he wants to leave and not ready to take his chances on the bench while on an average salary like players in his age grade, then by all means he should leave .

I don’t buy into all these sentimental attachment to any academy graduate .

You will be right if you're not interested in making money.

It's not about him playing or not, it's about the demand for him. That's the point I made.

Jodera:


It's not because of true striker or false striker. It's because Nketiah is not that good. I'don't have confidence anytime the guy is starting

I dunno what you see in him sha but currently I think the best for all parties is for him to move on

Recall we have had this discussion before when we compared Jesus and Nketiah. We both concluded that Nketiah has a better goal per games ratio than Jesus and evn't en Havertz. And that it's because he focuses more on scoring while the others who play as false strikers focus more on chance creation.

Nketiah is the record goal scorer in England at youth level. That includes every British top striker you know today. I saw his potentials. He is 24/25.

We can agree on the fact that Arteta's formation or tacticsal pattern only allows for a false striker who must drop deep. That does not favour Nketiah. If Arteta changes his pattern to allow a true striker, Nketiah will bench both Jesus and Havertz.

Jodera:

Yeah, I believe arsenal will try and hold the this Chido boy. If we're serious, we should definitely make a clear path for him into the squad.
And it's true with what you say about Most clubs buying potential big hits and young guys cos proven players unfortunately doesn't come cheap.

Let's just hope we'll get someone good for a Cf. Jesus would have sorted this problem if only he was less injury prone and more clinical than he is

I honestly do not consider Jesus as a striker. He is at best a support striker or attacking midfielder just like Havertz. The only true striker we have in that squad is Nketiah and the system doesn't favour him.

BlueRayDick:


They should give a 17 year old Amateur 50k per week contract ? 😂

U’ve got jokes . How much do u think Fabio Viera and Smith-Rowe earn sef ?

The point is to do all that's possible to tie him down. The emphasis here is that it won't be a waste especially as I did some calculations. Meaning that I don't mind whether he gets that amount even as a 17yo. Off course it will even be better if he will accept a lesser pay as long as he stays. Then even if we will eventually sell him, we won't lose at all.

Jodera:
Underrated how??

I dunno if he'll be a late bloomer Sha but presently he's not looking like someone that will be our Cf. Nketiah needs to be sold.

He's not imposing enough
His link up isn't that great

In fact, to cut the long story short, he doesn't fit a title challenging team currently. I know I defended him as a good deputy when guys where clamoring that he should be sold but then that was because we were top 4 contenders. Now, unfortunately, I'm afraid we don outgrow him.

As for Solanke, I believe he'll do well with quality players around him.

He's fast
He's aerially dominant
His linkup is good
His physically imposing
Can take on his man

While Goal scoring has a hitch here but he's proven that with a quality coaching and settled team he can really Excel. Scored 29 efl goals and 19 epl goals shows the mark of someone who can excel when he's surrounded by quality(anyone who knows Iraola from la liga knows he's a very decent coach so it wasn't surprising for me seeing Solanke with his output this season). He's 26yrs of age also, so he fits well into our age criteria too.

For Nketiah, aside his poaching which I feel he's good at, he's limited in many other aspects

One thing I know about myself is that I don't look at stats (or goals) to see if a player is this or that. I mostly (keenly) watch attributes and skillset such a certain player can bring to this team with respect to what we as a team have cos I believe a good team can make a good player look great while a poor team can make a good player look bad. Also a good/great player might look out of place in a good team whose system doesn't fit such player (it's one key reason I won't pick Haaland or Auba in this team even though they're great players)

I am laughing at you thinking that Solanke is better than Nketiah. 😂

I won't argue. I am only going to pray that Nketiah leaves for another club perhaps replacing Solanke at Bournemouth so we can check something.

Jodera:
Yeah, perhaps it would have been rapid but do arsenal need another "potential or deputy" strikrt?
I thought we need one that would slot into the team and elevate us instantly like G.j did for us. That was my line of thought all these while.

Reason why I said Solanke is because he can bring that presence to the box compared to Nketiah(since that's what most of us clamoured for). Also he's very physically dominating and good aerially compared to Nketiah. He might be a diamond in the rough that can be polished into a devastating striker with the right element and quality surrounding him. I've not watched him well enough to know his other deciding attributes but this is just few times I did watch him last season.

Striker scarce my brother. Maybe we just need one we could shape into a very devastating one na why I dey highlight Solanke

Chai!

Nketiah is highly underrated. Let him leave and we will regret not tapping his potentials.

Jodera:

I read he felt he wasn't ready for a big jump yet reason why he extended to gain more development. Watching his clips and keenly observing his attributes, I felt same way too reason why I once said I'm not really sold on him. But one thing is certain, he has that potential but I don't see him as one presently to fill in a starting spot esp for us

Osinhem is injury prone else that would have been my perfect Cf. Aside Gyokeres, I dunno who again oo. Maybe we should go for Solanke but I've not really watched him to know whether this season is just a one off but he is still young (at least) which is a bonus

Sesko only started making the marks around the second half of last season. He started playing as no 9 when Openda was moved to the wings. Openda was actually the main goal threat for Leipzig taking the season as a whole into account. However a lot of potentials was seen in Sesko hence the hype.

Most of the top strikers available are already in big clubs and they would not be allowed to leave unless an astronomical fee is paid. The move many clubs are making now is to identify potential big things that are yet unknown. The likes of Solanke for me does not look like he will be a top striker. I mean we have observed him for years now and the signs he is showing are those of mid table club level at best.

Arteta and Edu must do everything not to allow Chido Obi Martins to leave for free. They ought to have tied him down before he started blowing hot. They should bless his life with a decent professional contract worth at least 50k. It will not be a waste. 50k x 52weeks = 2.6m. On a good day this guy can fetch over 30m if we choose to sell him.
