Sugarboyy: I really don't know about others but to me, he is not upto average. He is just a flash in a pan most times and afterwards, he goes ghost mode for more than 10 matches. He should be ashamed that Ademola who just started playing for the GWG is doing better than him and might become the next African Best
Bro nothing to be ashamed of, when lookman scored his first EPL goal for Everton, Samuel was still playing street soccer.
i actually watch this match live on TV and at that time I was still trying to get why the hype around this Mikel. But years later when I rewatch this match and the confederations Cup, I was blown away with his talent. No speed but he breeze pass players faster than him. See key passes that the others couldn't convert.
teeshet: If I knock your head. Mikel does not have one percent of both talents. He was just a peripheral ball passer and was lucky to play for chelsea. He didn't do anything spectacular
Abeg no knock my head, that's my opinion. But saying he was lucky to play for chelsea when we all know the struggle between Chelsea and Manu to sign him. Guy 🤦♂️
AlhajiDanladi: Me sef I don't understand. If anything Mikel accomplished more than JayJay if we talk about heights. JJ was just more entertaining to watch.
when I said Mikel had the talent of both jayjay and kanu you should understand the height I felt he could attain.
[quote author=charlesemeka85 post=132086002]Marcel Desailly speaks about how good Mikel was when he trialed with Chelsea as a 16 year old kid straight from 9ja
“He was 16 when he came to Chelsea for trials and the first week he came, he was magic, we thought he was on drugs, he was incredible.
was very good, I do see him as someone with the talent of jayjay and kanu combine. Unfortunately he didn't attain that height we all expected him to reach.
Goke7: Just say you forgot the player and you personally adore martins.
Emenike apart from winning Afcon also won the golden boot at that competition. Yes his goals was that key. Can’t remember whatever martins did at Afcon. We can’t continue to use epl or European leagues to judge our players alone without their immense contributions to our profile as a soccer nation.
that one dey. Really Martins wasn't explosive for SE. There was hardly a time Martins secure that top9 position.
Joezinho: Lol. His name is not obagoal for nothing.
Martin’s shadow was a better footballer than emenike. I have no recollection of any highlight moments from emenike’s career aside the afcon 2013. Good player but largely forgettable. Won the afcon but it is not a trophy counting exercise. If that is the case, then fegor ogude > seyi olofinjana..
Martins moment I can't forget was he goal against ac Milan where he turned was it Maldini can't recall the defender. But for SE emenike has more memorable moments.
Joezinho: Start Obafemi martins. Bench Osimhen and ighalo. Don’t call up emenike. Arrest yakubu for missing that goal at the WC!!!
seems hard to say but I rate yakubu above the other strikers except for Osimhen. I'll start Osimhen Bench emenike and yakubu. No call up for Martin (he's not my kind of striker) and did not make much impact for SE
elyte89: Don’t worry I will correct those lapses … I av noticed dt too
Even Amuneke your fellow coach that applied for SE have gone to try his luck with Heartland cos no hope. Make your lawyer begin send your CV to some top clubs like yumyum fc before it's too late.
Sugarboyy: Aside lookman, there are some others in the team with genuine talent, e.g Osimhen, Aina, Ndidi at a time was one of the best DM in the World, he missed it not leaving Leicester for a bigger club then. Ekong and Okoye has greatly improved, I see Bassey as someone who has alot in him to offer but not doing that right now, Iwobi is good on his day. But you see Chukwueze, and its likes, Na fraud them be.
iheanacho was at one time star boy of the team. In a recent interview I was surprised Osimhen mentioned him as one of the most skillful players in the team.
Hotepking: I really want Eguaveon to be kept with this consortium of assistants he assembled to see what they are all about- I feel Eguaveon deserves a final redemption arc with on-field coaching rather than the desk job he has been doing as technical director. Also the local coaches; Daniel and Fidelis also look like interesting coaching prospects. Add Siasia to the mix and we might be on to something.
i think the assistants selected were spot on, away from the usual Amokaches and yobos people with no coaching pedigree.
Mujtahida: Finidi lost it when he tried re-inventing the wheel. He was the assistant to Peseiro at Afcon where the team played the final using the 3 - 5- 3 formation. Instead of sticking to what the players were used to considering how short the time was, he decided to go fishing in deep waters. He come hook.
And then this issue of putting home based. players.
These are the mistakes he made.
After being an assistant to peseiro, he still came up with 'formation doesn’t matter', just only if the players stay where dy need to stay and do what they need to do. How will they stay or do what without formation.
