TheGoodJoe: When after the game against SA, many of us here suggested Nacho to have come back and help in the build up process, and in the process evade his markers. You wouldn't have any of it saying "the build up was excellent, what was lacking was the final balls through" So if you not accepting that the build up play by Mancity today was total crap (not forgetting the 7 goals it produced)that Bernardo had to fall back to join in, then it's time you retract what you said about Nacho's abysmal performance months ago. My friend you have just been 'Mweneed' ¡Lo siento señor! |

junnyjake: Understand before critiquing. I said, hence there was plenty of room behind the South Africans and Nacho was getting behind them with ease, there was no need dropping deep. What we needed was someone to feed him. However, at least I have sung study Firmino for too long. That is in respect of playing more part in the overall game play of the team. If the team sits deep and restricts spaces to attack, the the striker can drop deep to help break down the defensive wall. However, if there are spaces behind the defenders, build up is not a priority but exploiting the spaces behind. A lot of teams sit tight at the back when playing City, thus few spaces to exploit by the striker. Thus dropping deep is important. Gerrit? 1 Like |

it's high time we change our formation to accommodate two attacking midfielders,either Onazi or Ndidi have to be sacrificed for Iwobi,if want to start creating more chances,at least in some matches. we may decide to play two defensive midfielders when meet a very tough oppositions like Germany,Brazil and rest of the top teams. our formation is too defense oriented for other average teams,there by limiting chances to b created upfront. with Iwobi and Mikel,we will create more chances than playing Ndidi and Onazi. 11 Likes |

komekn: Clarification 1 ![]() Remember, you say said 'no premier-league...' How many did you see after reading the @bolded? Why Liverpool must ignore Sunderland’s interest in young centre-back Tiago Ilori NEWSSPORT Why Liverpool must ignore Sunderland’s interest in young centre-back Tiago Ilori CLUB METRO OPINION This Is Anfield for Metro.co.uk Tuesday 31 Mar 2015 6:15 am Share Share Share Share SMS 27 Tiago Ilori has been linked with a move away from Liverpool (Picture: Getty Images) With young Liverpool centre-back Tiago Ilori linked with a summer move to Premier League strugglers Sunderland this week, manager Brendan Rodgers must ignore any advances and instead build around the 22-year-old. Word from north east publication the Shields Gazette suggests that Sunderland have been scouting Ilori while on loan with Ligue 1 side Bordeaux this season. ‘The Black Cats are already preparing for next season, and have earmarked 22-year-old Ilori as a potential summer signing. ‘Sunderland will continue to track the centre-half, with their defence in desperate need of strengthening in the close season. ‘However, Sunderland could face stiff competition for Ilori’s signature, with Everton and Celtic also represented at the game.’ The athletic defender joined Liverpool at the same time as first-team fixture Mamadou Sakho, in a £7 million deal in 2013, but is yet to make an appearance for the Reds. However, in two seasons on loan at La Liga outfit Granada and Bordeaux respectively, Ilori has continued to impress, in what should be enough of a progressive run of form to convince Rodgers that he has a role in his side in the future. Liverpool’s manager Brendan Rodgers must not be temped to sell Ilori (Picture: AP Photo) Last term, Ilori made nine appearances for Granada, helping the Andalusian side to a 15th-place finish and safety for another season – the centre-back’s defining moment coming with an impressive shackling of Lionel Messi in a 1-0 victory over Barcelona in April of last year. This season so far, Ilori has made 10 appearances, including a goalscoring display in September’s 1-1 draw away to Saint Etienne. Ilori stands as a supremely perceptive, pacey centre-back with an enduring composure in possession, and has the potential to develop into a top-class defender. With question marks over the long-term stability of Liverpool’s defence, with Glen Johnson set to depart this summer, Dejan Lovren so far failing to impress and Emre Can eyeing a long-term role in midfield, Ilori could have a ready-made role next season. On signing Ilori and Sakho, Rodgers proclaimed that: ‘I wanted to try to protect the present and the future of the club.’ ‘Centre-halves are so hard to find…We were fortunate in that two became available, one that we had been tracking for a year in Tiago Ilori…he is one for the future, but he can be a really big talent.’ Ilori must not become another perennially loaned, ultimately exiled young prospect, Rodgers must harness his talent, ignore the advances of Sunderland, and usher him into the Liverpool first team next season.

which friendlies did Conte play?.. Training is where coaches notice the qualities of players and decide to try out different things. That's what i'v maintained. My point has always been Conte saw Moses' qualities and opted to play him there. .Even Moses said he had to go back and watch his debut as Wing BAck against Hull, in other to work on it further. Or have you been watching Joel Obi's training over the years to say he CAN'T play as AM? hahaha covering up your baseless arguments with that smiley all the time don't still make it look logical.

ANS OPINION Five Players That Can Improve Super Eagles: Abraham, Tomori, Tosin, Torunarigha & Kevin Published: October 14, 2017 ![]() Photo Credit : thenff.com Tammy Abraham : The desperate desire of the NFF to recruit the services of the Chelsea loanee explain so much the unflinching trust they had placed on him. One of the revelations of the English Championship last season where he hit 23 goals in 41 games, he had carried his impeccable streak of form onto the current campaign, having already stuck twice in seven outings for his Swansea side and it is little wonder why The Three Lions would equally be keen to rope him in soon. There is, however, not a plausible glut of goalscoring options to readily pick from for the Super Eagles and having a proven goal poacher like the youngster in the fold would make for a reasonable coup. Tosin Adarabioyo : Adarabioyo had been on the books of Manchester City since he was five, and having turned out for the senior team in the the FA Cup, League Cup and the UEFA champions league, the time is, perhaps right to give the Manchester-born defender a look in. Tall, imposing and strong in tackling, the 20-year-old would be a viable back-up for the defensive duo of Leon Balogun and William Troost-Ekong. Fikayo Tomori : The Chelsea talent who had appeared for both the England and Canada junior teams had long been muted for a Super Eagles call-up. Now gradually establishing himself as a first choice starter at Hull in the English Championship; something that had eluded him at his parent club, it would be interesting to see him bring his near-impeccable attributes to the national team. Fitness issues or loss of form for any of the established defenders might help further his cause before 2018. Jordan Torunarigha : Another exciting talent who should equally be considered for the Russia World Cup traveling band is Jordan Torunarigha. The German-born defender who plays for Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga has all the qualities of a modern-day defender who would unarguably bring a bit of extra vigour and spark. Still just 20,it would hardly be a stretch if Rohr decide to bolster his youthful options with the acquisition of this dynamic player. Kevin Akpoguma : In terms of astute solidity and cohesive game-reading, the national team selectors would be bagging a good fit for the defensive zone in the shape of the Hoffeinheim defender. Having captained the Die Mannschaft U19 team to Euro glory in 2014, throwing the 22-year-old into the fray might prove particularly a decisive recruitment as he would help shore up a back line that is fast becoming as watertight as anything. All things been equal, it would equally ensure he ultimately gets the senior international football he richly deserves. Emmanuel Chinaza |

ENGLAND: Championship - Round 12 Leeds 0-1 Reading Ex- Portuguese junior international, Tiago Ilori seems to have finally won the confidence of Reading coach Jaap Stam as the 24 year old center back clocked 90 minutes in Reading's win on the road. However, the England-born center-back did not come tops in any of Whoscored's performance categories. +Stats: 6.99 Rating Teammate and out-of-favor Super Eagles forward, Sone Aluko, also got Stam's nod to start. Aluko lasted 72 minutes as one of the forwards in a 4-4-2 formation, and was statistically the best player on the pitch in terms of pass success rate ( 85% ). +Stats: 6.81 Rating Sunderland 1-1 QPR Sunderland fail again to win, after 10 matches. QPR also extend their winless poor run to 6. While Super Eagles wannabe, Nedum Onuora still remained sidelined by injury, QPR's new Nigerian sensation, Bright Osayi-Samuel featured once again in the Hoops draw at Sunderland. The 19 year old midfielder was a 76th minute sub-in. He was one of three subs-in to achieve a 100% pass success rate for the relatively short duration they spent on the pitch. +Stats: 6.10 Rating. Brentford 1-0 Millwall Millwall lose for the second championship game in a row with Fred Onyedinma putting in a partial shift for the Lions. +Stats: 6.0 Rating. Bolton 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday Bolton turn things around after losing 8 consecutive games. Sammy Ameobi opened his goal account for the season when he put Bolton ahead as early as the 10th minute -- playing as RM/RW in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Ameobi's performance earned him a MOTM by virtue of whoscored. He tied 4 other players for the top spot in Total Shots (3). He was the best Bolton player, and joint best in pass success rate (92). +Stats: 8.56 Rating. (In running to make Whoscored Best XI of the week) Teammate Derek Osede is still out due to injury. +Stats: N/A Norwich 1-1 Hull Norwich rally late to ensure they stay undefeated for the 7th consecutive round Super Eagles Wing-Back Ola Aina clocked 90 minutes for Hull in their away draw to Norwich. He was one of the top tacklers of the match with 4 successful attempts. He went on to earn Whoscored's MOTM statistical performance. +Stats: 7.70 Rating. (In running to make Whoscored Best XI of the week) Fikayo Tomori came in on the 85th minute as Leonid Slutsky made his third tactical change after playing a man down for about half an hour. +Stats: 5.92 Rating Fulham 2-2 Preston Fulham's Seyi Ojo is out due to shoulder injury +Stats: N/A Sheffield Utd 1-0 Ipswich Dominic Iorfa put up a sterling performance for Ipswich despite falling away with his team. Playing as a Right Wing Back in Ipswich's 3-5-2 formation, the Super Eagles hopeful started and completed the encounter as the third highest rated player on the pitch according to whoscored. Iorfa Jnr stood out as the best performer with a total of 12 in Aerial Duels won. He made 3 interceptions for the team. +Stats: 7.90 (Likely to beat Aina in RB for Best XI of the week) Iorfa's teammate, Tom Adeyemi was unlisted for the encounter Aston Villa 2-0 Wolves Villa go undefeated 9 games in a row Bright Enobakhare remained in Villa's dugout for the entire duration. +Stats: N/A However, England U21 international, Josh Onomah tasted action after he was introduced by the visitors in the 73rd minute.
