He's not good to go oo. He's old. He lacks pace. Na Okocha mate him be.

mekabuachi:
When last did iwobi score for SE?

TheGoodJoe:

I already clarified before that Finidi was 100% right with the bolded statement.

Either way, I have no doubt that with time, Finidi would have made us phenomenal. Our quest for immediate results hampers growth of coaches. I hope Chelle gets quality time.

Formation is not the most important that wins games but the interpretation by the players. No matter the formation or tactics put on ground, if the players don't understand and interpret their roles, the formation won't succeed. So understanding roles and interpreting it is more important than formation.

This is one of the smartest tactical things I ever heard and it came from Finidi George. Increased my respect for him as a tactician.

joelsteron:
Yes it's me.

A Iwobi in chuks position yesterday, i dare say will never take on that Jamaican let alone score that goal.

BankyGee:
That yesterday own pain me sha, na when he score I calm down small, person wey dey chase records dey do giveaway with PKs 😂

Truidstarr:
The real question is do the players in the NPFL believe in the league? Everyone wants to go abroad. Ask any player what is his ambition next season. Na to Japa.

Meliforme:
None was better.

Meliforme:
Considering the tempo of the game, the introduction of Iheanacho was a school boy error.
What was needed was a genuine midfielder, who can win duels and slow down the game with good controls of the ball.

Kog45:
What's embarrassing when we don't allow other strikers to have longevity in eagles... imagine Osimhen just beat Odegbami record of over 43 years.

Good that we are having Osimhen now

Odunayaw:
Which ones are getting close to 100

Godfrey Chitalu holds the highest at 79 in 111 games
Kinan Phiri at 71 in 117 games
Hossam Hassan at 69 in 177 games!

Drogba, Eto'o & Gyan have 65, 56, 51goals in 105, 118, 109 games
Just look at the number of games!

Mane is 45 goals in 113 games. Just 8 goals above Yekini with about 50 games more!

Yekini had only 62 games! You don't know what embarrassment is

Odunayaw:
Once there is L, the team becomes bad and should be disbanded Same old. Same old.

BankyGee:
Simple...

If he goes to Saudi today, I'm damn fulfilled. Make English clubs go eff themselves.

He's shown that he's not a small or an average player. Many people saw him go to the Turkish Süper Lig and even thought or wished he won't perform 😂

24 years record - The highest scoring foreigner in a single season (all comps.) in the history of the Turkish Süper Lig (not even for Galatasaray alone)... Kokmekn been dey save some drafts...

Osimhen doesn't just break records, he extends them and raise the bar higher to make you sweat to break it! Ask all the U-17 players wey don dey try even equal him record since 2015. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑

Mujtahida:
I think say na only me oo. I even find it a source of wonder that people enjoy wetin Burna boy dey sing.

I love to watch these guys play,and some others I can't remember now,when football as an entertainment, craft and art.

semid4lyfe:
They've been knocking on the door for a while now so I'm glad they got it done this time.

It's a huge win for privately owned NPFL clubs as it shows that with the right investment and structure, success is possible.

It's also proof that a club doesn't need to be government-funded to compete at the highest level in Nigeria. You are happy a private owned club could compete in the NPFL with government fund but still go on to ask the ogun state government to do something for the club 😲

Hopefully, this will inspire more private ownership of football clubs and better management across the NPFL.

Big congratulations to Mr Kunle Soname, Remo Stars. the people of Ikenne and Ogun state.

Governor Dapo Abiodun suppose do something for the team.

TheSuperNerd:
So after all the talks and rumor mills, Man Utd are not in for Osimhen.

Charles, you can rest now. Na Cunha una manager want. Lol

Philosopher1979:
The skills of kanu and okocha has to be studied by scientists and football experts. They also have to be taught in football academies and reconceotualized for the modern game

MetalJigsaw:
Stop lying

MetalJigsaw:
Na so so home dey win for this NPFL wuruwuru league

Kog45:
Yes reason why he was employed.

He gave Zimbabwe a point and loss 2 points in a must win match.SA extended their lead with additional 2 points ahead of us,now tells me how he has improved Nigeria team.

SA got 6 points during the break and
Nigeria got 4 points.

Kog45:
Improvement indeed, dropped 2 points against lowly Zimbabwe at home when we needed to close the gap...make we dey deceive ourselves go

Kog45:
Yes with our poor position on the log nothing stop us from having 6 points and funny we dropped 2 points at home to Zimbabwe,so Chelle go receive stick o

Philosopher1979:
Yeah you are right. Chelle has to listen to eguavin if he wants to succeed. The issue is eguavon should have been retained after the failed world cup qualifiers against Ghana. That would have given him enough time to mould the team. Also, he should have succeeded peseiro and not the inexperience finidi. I also noticed eguavon actually learn from peseiro. In his mashes he went from 3 4 3 to 4 3 3 and other formations.
Thirdly chele does not understand our players he badly needs eguavon. I believe he will be humble enough to learn from him.

BankyGee:
I'm a good follower of Okoye and want him in the national team too, but do you know Nwabali has saved the team in critical times more than he has made errors? Why una dey quick forget?

I want Okoye to keep for us too, but no Nwabali slander can stand. That guy don hold that position well, my only problem with him is the laughing. Nothing else. He's good too.

MetalJigsaw:
Mbappe is there already na

andrewbaba44:
Firstly Premier league legacy was the point of this argument .

Kanu and mikel played for big clubs on their prime ,okocha was only the main man at Bolton and fenerbache that’s all ,put him on that arsenal team that has Henry Bergkamp and co he won’t even be the 5th main man ,let me not even go to the Chelsea team mikel played for

If they arrange the best African Epl XI he will never be found on the starting 11 ,so please spare me all these crap .

Mikel is now a fringe player because you want to defend okocha 😁

Sugarboyy:
During Okocha and all the other names playing days, whenever they were playing for the SE, Okocha was always the main man and the heart of the team, not Kanu. Infact there was never a time when Kanu was rated ahead of Okocha in the SE.
Let's take our mind back to Atlanta 96, players like Okocha, Omokachi, Oliseh were rated ahead of Kanu in the team and it was those 2 goals that Kanu scored that brought him to limelight in the SE, not that he was the best.
Okocha legacy in football far outweigh other Nigerian players that have played in the EPL till date

Sugarboyy:
I'm not sure you watched Okocha played, maybe you just watched his highlights later on or just the latter years of his career at Hull city.
During Okocha playing days, mostly from 1998 - 2004, he was the heart of everything SE and Botton Wanderers. I can vividly remember how we used to give up before commencements of matches both for botton and the SE if Okocha wasn't playing.
He was the heart and soul of the SE in 2000, 2002 and 2004 ACN and at Botton, they were so unknown and he solely brought Botton to limelight, that they are still experiencing till today.
During Okocha days at Botton, Bolton playing the big teams were seen as big matches , not even Kanu commanded such prestige for all the club's he played for in the EPL.
Lastly, Botton Wanderers still have fans and sympathisers in Nigeria till today because of Okocha. When it comes to the EPL, no Nigeria player till date has made better impact .
He think if was rated among the top 100 greats ever in the EPL.

Mujtahida:
That pass by Kanu and the goal by Utaka broke the jinx Cameroun had put on us. From that day till today, I'm not sure Cameroon has defeated us in a competitive game instead na we dey flog them.

Kog45:
Oga take a coke and cool,we are talking football here and nothing like agenda,me I don pass that level.

The generational talents is regarding the all time best Nigeria midfielders(No 10) abi Kanu na No 10......how on earth will I mention Ilerika,Nwosu,Etim Esin over Kanu talking football generally.

Mind you my comment was a replied to a quote telling us that apart from Okocha we have other good midfielders and I tried to put them generationally.

Pls our differ opinions make this thread thicker.

Napoleon55:
Kanu is definitely up there among the first names of Nigerian generation talents
