If this is really our starting eleven (with 5 FIVE defenders and not a single recognised midfielder) then it's going to be be a long evening.

fabyom:
This Algerian team cannot beat our first team!

Sunday Oliseh noticed Ekong's wack game when he was our coach and placed him on bench but Rohr choose to make him Assistant captain with all the blunders he makes while playing for Nigeria

MetalJigsaw:
That Patson Daka of Salzburg is very good. A very consistent player and the best in his club. And he's a Zambian... A regular goal scorer.

I like the guy die.

I passed my driving test in the UK after one lesson ( I studied the theory on my own) and passed at first attempt.

There were many of my Nigerian brethren who attempted up to 7 times before they could pass.

What is experience knowledge by participative application.

The better the arena, organisation and or placement the experience is gained from , the more valued that experience. And you could say better quality application as well.

Thats why your first place of employment will define to a large extent your degree ad infinitum.

I expand if you trained to be a chef and your first job is at the Ritz Paris, you have given yourself high level value. If your first job is at Mr Biggs then you have given yourself identity at that level.

If you studied Chemistry but worked at Goldman Sachs ( investment banking group) and become an investment analyst, your career is literally defined in the high elite income bracket of the world.

If you studied Finance and Economics but worked for Oredo local government council, your career is defined at the level.

I know about coaching badges in England's Scotland and the requirements to get them. It is not problematic and from my perspective very simple.

For Yobo to get a placement at Everton and get his badges will take him 6 months or thereabouts, in most cases EPL players are given lots of discretion and it's just a matter of fulfilling all righteousness.

So tell me what local coaches know in Nigeria that he Yobo doesn't know and can probably school them on.

I remember years ago when some Nigeria internationals were appalled at the low level and understanding of the coaches. They offered to get a defensive coach from the EPL at thier own expense. Of course the NFF coaches did not like the idea.

Be realistic, there is knowledge by association the higher that association the better the knowledge, understanding and application.

Gosh!! Super eagles is not a dumping ground for average British Nigerian players. Damnit. It is nauseating to see someone suggesting we should consider players from lowly rated Lincoln. We don suffer. Let them play for the queen biko!

Liverpool are flogging Lincoln town fc ( league one) 6-2

With essentially the academy team, such is the gap in quality.

Interestingly there are two Nigerian origin players in the Lincoln. Timothy Eyoma and Tayo Edun, they could be current prospects for the SE for consideration.

IMO.

I'm not a fan of Akpeyi but he's better than everybody in that goalkeepers list

La Liga has huge disparities in quality you have Barca and Real, then Sevilla and Athletico, then a group of 5/6 teams.

The rest are struggling for quality.

Consider that the most expensive player in the Leganes team is Omeruo who cost €5 million.

If you look at the Championship maybe the bottom end in general most teams will exceed that with players costing in excess of £10 million.

So being in lower level team in a top league does not equate to being a top quality player. However, a top performing player in the Championship will exceed £20 million.

So I do not think it is a step down in some regards a step up, If he does well he will be in the EPL.

In reality it puts a question mark on his quality, after a season in Seria A his value has not increased it seems and no other club in Seria A wants him.

This move is a calculated risk. It could pay off - that's if Watford get promoted.

komekn:
Not all leagues are the same.

And not all second tier league are the same.

Watford has just been relegated to the Championship and they have not lost up to 2/3 players.

But in their game against Sheffield Wednesday they were held to a draw. This is literally the same Watford that beat Liverpool 3-0 and 2-0 home and away.

Tell me a team that got relegated in La Liga that was able to beat Barcelona or Real or in the Bundesliga or Seria A.
