TheSuperNerd:
Well, your reply was dishonest then.

Nwakali and Alhassan are Upgrades on Onyeka. Man Marking and tracking players are not the only skills a midfielder should have.
Nwakali is not an upgrade on Onyeka. Not today. Not last year.

Watched the game and tactically JPES gets 8/10 - the team shape was good, no question.

For tactical Implementation the team gets 6/10 - let down by the attack not pressing as a unit. They worked hard but sometimes not cleverly.

For individual performances without writing reams,

Iwobi was the star of the show.

Moffi, Lookman, Simon and Iheanacho should know by now that once the press is on they have to join in instantly. One second delay and 'your man' will be free to receive the ball and comfortably pass the ball through the lines, making your teammates look stupid in the process.

Iheanacho is clever but not a hard enough worker imo.

Onyeka did okay. Needs encouragement and better fitness.

Akpoguma and Bassey are competent and very competitive. Akpoguma especially is quietly streetwise. He is a strong asset. Bassey hassles well but gets beaten from time to time. That doesn't hurt him though because of his rapid recovery rate. The central defence was fine, no problem there.

Fullbacks Ola Aina offered more going forward than Sanusi, but that's not a surprise as Sanusi had to manage Mr Riyad Mahrez. Tough gig. They both did okay for the most part.

Uzoho. We all know now we have a major problem. All the good work done by the team can and has been undone when your last line of defence routinely turns what should be a basic no frills save into a global disaster.
We have effectively been knocked out of the
2019 AFCON - Akpeyi's token dive for Mahrez free kick.
2021 AFCON - Okoye getting beat from 40 yards with clear view of the flights of ball from boot to net!
2022 World cup Qualification - Uzoho pretty must dived over a routine shot letting the ball squirm underneath his body.

...and then yesterdays Uzoho masterclass in ball dodging.

Until we fix this problem we will not reap the reward of any progress made in other parts of the pitch, and I don't see how we fix it anytime soon.

Sad sad times beckon.

Stop living in the past my friend

Officials cut a clear pk to free kick for us and you’re still complaining
No he didnt. The foul started outside the box and by the rules he got the call right there.

That's never a penalty in any league or proper international game with competent officiating.

The Algerian had already missed the shot before the foul. Africans and refereeing don't mix.

Nigeria have been more solid in defence than I can remember. Well organised without the ball and keeping their shape most of the time. Algeria have had more of the ball without any real threats. They've not created anything of note.

The area for improvement for us is pressing as a team! You only need one player to not press and the rest are wasting their energy doing it.

We should have gone into the break 2 nil up! Thank God there's nothing at stake.

Next 8 years when Adarabioyo, Onoma, Eze and Olise finally made their SE debut....
This is ridiculous. So many words and the real reason for teaming up with the black stars is still missing.

Embarrassing!!

Only last October this is what he said to the guardian UK.

“I’m grateful to where I grew and became who I am. Ghana tried to convince me, but I was born in Spain, in Bilbao. I won’t ever forget my family roots, but I feel Basque and can’t con anyone. I would be comfortable with Ghana, I’m sure, but I shouldn’t be there.

“My parents are from Accra and I really enjoy going. But I wasn’t born or raised there, my culture’s here, and there are players for whom it would mean more.

“I don’t think it would be right to take the place of someone who really deserves to go and who feels Ghana 100 percent.”

”
Williams told The Guardian.

We should not allow anyone make us their second choice. Nigeria's approach to any eligible player should be the highlight of their career. If it isn't then they have no business wearing the shirt. My son is 9 born and bred in London, white Brit mum and never been to Africa. Yet he already knows he's playing for Nigeria if he is good enough when of age.

This kinda Sh1t fuxking annoys me!!

Pinnick's tenure as NFF president officially ends today!

How would y'all rate the man after 8 years in charge??
It's 4/10 from me.

We saw improvements in terms of team national team players welfare, although more could still be done.

Influence on the local game was non significant as evidenced in our level of competitiveness in the CHAN and CAF club competitions.

In terms of branding, he did very well. The deal with Nike in 2018 after several years with Adidas was a masterstroke especially when combined with the commercial success of the 2018 world cup kit. His astuteness in negotiating a 'much improved' deal in 2020 was better than any previous NFF administration had shown.

Now the most critical factor for judging success or otherwise is the national teams fortunes on the pitch. Although things picked up in the early part of his tenure he will be leaving office with the team in a similar situation that he inherited.

The decision to hold on to Gernot Rohr for as long as he did (about 6 years) when results and performances under him had turned for the worse at least 2 years earlier (see the away qualifier against Seychelles just after the 2018 world cup) was Pinnicks major undoing.

The timing of the eventual sacking was also the sort of gamble that a seasoned football administrator would not have gone ahead with. That move can now be said to have lead to where we are now. No world cup football for the first time in 16 years and getting knocked out of AFCON before the last 8 for the first time in over 40 years.

I think a fair score is 4/10. I'm sure Nike will score him lower, they expected a deeper run in the AFCON and a world cup showing as a minimum for their investment.

Interest is not speculation but action.

That action is a value based bid to buy , but nobody did . That's why Alhassan remains in mediocrity in the Eredivise as a anonymous player.

Interest without an active bid to buy is just waffle,wind and fresh air, it means NUTTIN.
Why do you always talk rubbish?

He doesn't play in the Eredivisie, he plays in the Juplier league...before you spout further rubbish, that's the same league from which Belgium (ranked 2nd in the world) has called up SEVEN players to their latest squad. That, by your definition is remaining in mediocrity is it, Mr Southgate of Warri?

He has not been anonymous. He was voted his club's player of the month of August and they are 5 points clear at the top of the league!

That a deal was not completed for his transfer last summer doesn't not mean there was no interest! You said 'interest is not speculation but action' but yet you claim to know how these things work behind the scenes? Smh

Please contribute to the forum if you can but refrain from making derogatory comments on players you clearly don't know about.

To actually hit a modern US aircraft carrier with a missile is almost impossible. Their defences are in multiple dimensions some you can't even imagine. If you think it's just a bit ship with fighters on it you're mistaken big time.

emmaodet:
It is a pity such is happening here.
My mum also pressured me to travel out with my family but I no gree.
Whenever am home, she will always be updating me about how Dammy (my childhood friend who traveled to US) sent car home to his mother, he has just bought land and developing it blah blah blah.
Anytime she ask me for money and I say I don’t have or complain before giving her a part of it, the next thing is she doesn’t understand why I don’t want to travel. That am I enjoying the kind of life am living here?
She believes if have traveled like Dammy, she won’t be struggling to get good money from me.
She pressured my wife too, likewise her mum to pursued me.
Whenever I get a financial hit from my business, the next thing I hear from my wife and mother is - what are you still doing here in nigeria? Are we not wasting our time? Is it not better we travel? Blah blah blah
If my wife reads a news that fulani herdsmen attacks a village or kidnap someone, the next thing is she is tired of this country and wants to move to a sane country abroad.
Just any small thing, let’s move as if they don’t shoot sporadically too in abroad.
Also, my mum wants that pride of answering her friends …. Oh Emma is is US doing fine when they ask her about Emma.
I just don’t know the thing with Nigerians and abroad especially women.
No be by force to push person for abroad abeg
This post got to me. Emma if you have a thriving business in Nigeria and you are over 30-35 please please please don't throw it away for the mirage of travelling abroad for 'greener pastures' or 'for the children'. If you do it will be probably the biggest gamble of your like and one you will likely regret. Godspeed.
Politics › Re: Nigerian Navy Arrests Norwegian Ship Stealing Crude Oil In Nigeria by wayodude(m): 7:25am On Aug 20, 2022
Being in the vicinity of the oil field is undoubtedly questionable. But how did the crew of the vessel intend to load the precious cargo without the cooperation of the personnel running the field and the cooperation of security?

The fact is that this vessel was summoned to Nigeria by one of the ogas at the top to help lift oil that was going to be stolen and sold at a discount on the international market. This is what Nigeria is known for. I work in the industry.

No other country does this. We are a shame to the black race.

Don't tell your husband.
Don't tell your friend.
Don't tell anyone.
Don't tell yourself.

Do all of these and...

The deed will be 'undone'
Your integrity will be unblemished
Your 'morality' will be untarnished

Do different and...

Your respect will be unrecoverable
Your marriage will be untenable

There will be no where to go
Literally ...
Because you refused to move on.

Fantasy premier League Restarts in August!!

Following feedback from the last couple of seasons I am going to reset the Nairalanders Battle Ground League to make it a money league.

Dear league participants,

Succumbing to popular demand, I am going to make some changes to our league in order to make things more competitive and rewarding. The league has been popular and its popularity keeps growing!!

The idea of including performance based incentives has been suggested right from when this league was formed in the 2019/2020 season. Starting this season 2022/23 prizes will be introduced.

To enable this however the following actions are required.

1. All interested participants must firstly respond to this post with your team name. I will keep a spreadsheet linking your nairaland moniker with your FPL team name.

2. Entry fees and details of prizes will be communicated in my next post.

Thanks.

JohnBullMySon:
You're mistaking creativity and skill. Skill is not creativity that's why we see people here calling Ejuke our most creative player when he's only skillful at best.

Chukwueze is more skillful but Lookman is more creative and a better overall player. Lookman had more numbers this season. 8 gaols 5 assists while Chukwueze had 3goals 3 assists.

Lookman's pass success rate is 80% while Chukwueze's is 75% so I don't know why you're calling Chukwueze a better passer. I see Chukwueze as lethal only when you're looking to hit a team on the counter. He's skillful and has a good left leg to put the ball in the right spot. However, making him a starter when you have Lookman on the bench is a no no.
I agree. The one word that can be used to support your conclusion is effectiveness.

Lookman is more effective in delivering a tactical role of any sort than Chukwueze. A player's application of skills is a factor in their ability to deliver but it's not the most important factor.

Something i always observed about Super Eagles come rain or shine. Most Super Eagles players lack grit on the ball in most of their matches. Their build up is always predictable. You will see a player pionting to another whom to pass the ball to. They can't drive forward individual and bring in an element of individual brilliance. They are constantly wasting corner kicks & freekicks. Their decision making in the final third sometimes is just baffling. Cote d'ivoire could not break down lesotho, i will be surprised if eagles put 3 goals past sao tome.
