UpLoyo: And here you are wasting your life away on a forum about a guy that doesn't know that you exist. So because he plays for naija means you guys should dictate what he's supposed to do with his life? Does anyone come to your job and compare your incompetence with the guys you went to school with? You guys really need to stop, the guys is probably at a beach now relaxing, enjoying his life while your is on hold, commenting like the guy wakes up, comes to nairaland to check what he's supposed to do with his life. Stop hating and go figure out your own life. The guy's life is made at 27yrs of age, so stop hating.
Did I hear you say 27?he made it even earlier and some 40 years old uncle are on here beefing him with the bonus 10mb given by Etisalat lolzzzzzzz

nedu2000: compare mikel with his contemporaries...messi et al!!I'm a football fan & for mikel to remain in chelsea just 'cos of greed is purely an anti-football act,he can make more money simply by improving his performances on d pitch,you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that the highest paid players coincide with performances on the pitch....messi,zlatan,beckham,rooney,del piero attests to that. I don't care about mikel to hate him
Comparing Mikel to his contemporaries doesn't mean Messi alone, where is Taye Taiwo and other players that were at the U20 2005.I know Mikel's world cup performance was poor but the joke is getting dry already and its shouldn't affect his personal life decisions.

byrron: Have u seeing anyone with a bright future beefing a successful individual before? Its usually the miserable and frustrated people that does such.

The guy never said so by himself and all of a sudden haters are already on rampage insulting him as if he is responsible for their collective miserable lives.

Hating someone that does not know of ur existence and has done u no wrong nor harm still beats my imaginations.

How can people be this frustrated and wicked?
How are these people different from boko haram when it comes to habouring this high voltage of resentment and hate?

Wolves in sheep clothings.
What do you expect from low lifers,they always try to console there miserable lives by beefing someone that has achieved. But instead of learning how to become someone in life,they blame an innocent old woman in there village for there misfortune.

SportsNigeria Rise To 34th In Newest FIFA Rankings by striker9(op): 11:16am On Jul 17, 2014
The Super Eagles are now ranked 34th in the world,
according to the latest FIFA rankings released
today.
Nigeria were eliminated in the second round of the
2014 World Cup, after a decent showing where they
also drew 0-0 with Iran, beat Bosnia 1-0 and lost
3-2 to Argentina in the group stages.
This means the African champions are now third in
Africa, only behind Algeria and Cote d’Ivoire, who
are ranked 24th and 25th respectively.

SportsRe: Was Mikel Obi The Worst No 10 Player At The World Cup by striker9(m): 5:21pm On Jul 15, 2014
abatically: Thanks bro. Yes people need to understand that football has changed. I can't believe in modern era people are still looking for a no 4, no 8, etc. Most formation now does not require a number 4 , jeez even wingers swap wings so u can't say someone is playing no 7 or no 11. That is why a good football analyst would not tell u someone is playing no 4, he would rather say CM or CDM, no 10 is called CAM, no 7 and eleven are simply called wingers or forwards depending on the formation.
yes bro,a cam must be attacked minded and ready to join the attack.Mikel plays a cm because he can help an attack with passes and can easily move backward to defend .
SportsRe: Was Mikel Obi The Worst No 10 Player At The World Cup by striker9(m): 4:56pm On Jul 15, 2014
abatically: Mikel didn't play no 10 at the world cup. In fact the last time Mikel played as a no 10 was against Burkinafaso in the first match of AFCON 2013, he also played as no 10 briefly against Zambia. Both games ended in a draw, since them Keshi returned Mikel to central/holding midfield role.

To understand this topic, first we need to understand the meaning of a no 10. A number 10 is a team's playmaker, he is the player that plays in the hole behind the main striker. Now this can be very confusing depending on the formation. Some no 10 even start from the wings and move to the middle when they get the ball, this is different from a traditional winger that runs down the wing to cross. Again it depends on the tactics. A number 10 normally plays in front of 2 central/defensive/holding midfielders who cover for him.

Not all formations require a number 10. A 4-4-2 formation traditionally does not require a no 10. 4-4-2 formation relies on the wingers to feed the 2 strikers.. that is the formation manchester United are used to playing and that is the main reason kagawa couldn't fit in. You need to have 2 Central /defensive midfielders and Kagawa can't play there. kagawa is a natural no 10 and for him to flourish, a team, has to play 4-3-3 or 4-2-1-2-1 . To play a no 10 in 4-4-2 formation then the no 10 would have to play from either of the flanks and drift to the middle when he gets the ball.. not very practical unless the player is multi talented. This is what Valbuena did against Nigeria. A very good example is in the formation below.

https://images.press.co.uk/source/8e1b60e30668f1182b97c22c67366f78.jpg

Mkhitaryan is the no 10 playing behind sturridge while Gerrard and Lucas are the central midfielders ( similar to Onazi and Mikel). Lucas is defensive midfielder while Gerrard has freedom to move a little forward. A number 10 is a player that dictates the game and connects the midfield with attack. Unfortunately we do not have such player in Nigeria.

Against France, Moses played in front of Mikel and Onazi and that made him the no 10 as shown the the picture below.

https://outsideoftheboot.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/France-Nigeria-Tactics.png

So how would u tell me that Mikel played a no 10 in this formation when he is not the one sitting in the hole?
kudos to you bro,you are now one of the few people I respect on here.To add to your beautiful analysis, people need to know football has changed.The role of number 10 is not like What is it in the era of okocha,zidane,scholes ,mbami,del piero etc
