BascoVanVeli:


Azubuike has finesse in his game, he even dribbles too much sometimes.

BascoVanVeli:

What has any young player done lately? Is it Rashford that is setting the world on fire, Isaac has done more in 3 games than he has all season. He already has a man of the match award and he destroyed one of the best CB's in the league in like 5 minutes, what else would u like to see before u believe?

TheSuperNerd:
Same thing can be said for you too.... You're just blatantly defending him in the face of obvious gaffe and blunders on his part. Blunders that you refuse to see or read in the media.

No one can stop u from seeing things the way u wanna see things.

pls I had an argument with a friend on why Kanu Nwankwo was one of d best striker to have come out of Nigeria that w always be on my S/E xi but my friend disagreed that cannot w never make his S/E xi,citing his reasons like 87 appearances wit 12 goal,5 Afcon,3 W/C without a goal.

He said i should do my research and i did thorough research on d past and present S/E attacking players with Rasheed Yekini 58 app/37 goals,Segun Odegbami 46 app/23goals,Yakubu Aiyegbeni 57/21 goals,Obafemi Martins 41 app/18,Samson siasia 51 app/16 goals,Aghaowa 32 app/14 goals,Daniel Amokachie 44 app/13 goals,Ahmed Musa 60 app/11 goals,Osase Odewengie app 63/10 goals,Amuneke 27 app/9 goals,Victor Moses 27 app/9 goals,Emenike 37 app/9 goals,Victor Ikpeba 31 app/7 goals,Ideye 27 app/6 goals,Finidi 62 app/6 goals,Agali 12 app/5 goals,Babaginda 36 app/5 goals.

After this,i told him Kanu has more assists than any Nigeria player which he disagreed,citing Amokachie, Siasia and Finidi as d best in assists in super eagle history.

I told him look this guy won Africa footballer of d year twice,he said Ikpeba won it also,is Ikpeba rated than Okocha or Amokachie when w talk of super eagles.

Pls house what really make Kanu so special that he was so valuable to super eagle during his playing career coz i respect his talent than any other Nigeria striker.

Before I believe? Who says I don't believe?? Like I previously, I am big fan of Isaac Success and totally believe in his potential. I actually rated him higher than Kelechi in the U-17 team. However, I was just keeping real. Isaac simply hasn't played enough this season to be included on that list. It's the same thing I said when Yaya Toure was nominated for the African Player of the year. No one doubts Toure's ability but, still, he hasn't played enough games this season to be included on the APOY list.

O pari

Kog45:
ok but not better than Ndidi.

Boss answer the questions i have asked u, u are answering what i wrote to someone else answer wat i wrote to u.

TheGoodJoe:


There are things stats can not explain. Stats can not explain the delicate touch if Kanu Nwankwo and how he commands the ball to obey him during play. Stats can not explain Kanu dropping deep and motivating his team.

Or the way Kanu turned games around with his brilliant talent. Somethings needs watching to understand.

Watch some of Kanu's highlights on YouTube and you will see that such talents are hard to find.

TheSuperNerd:
Oga Elder Kog45.... I no even see Thompson Usiyen for ya list... He had 15goals in 24games for the then Green Eagles... Guy was a super striker back then.

On the issue of Kanu...... Make the big ogas chook mouth first before I talk. **takes backseat..... Places bag on it to reserve it and returns to labs**

tbaba1234:


He would have done a better job plus, he could have replaced Usman Muhammad as well. He does it every week at club level and in the Europa cup. He has the highest number of successful interceptions and tackles in the Europa cup this season.

Plus he could have played CB instead of sincere seth.

The last olympics had no benefit for the super eagles because we used players that were not yet at the level to play for the senior team.

Kog45:
If I get u right with Mikel in d starting line up,player like Ndidi w find it difficult as DM coz of Mikel defensive inabilities.

Pls i w want u to explain more on what u mean by Mikel defensive inabilities.

Kog45:
Noted

Mickael2:

team chemistry is important. I don't think he could have done a better job than Azubuike as at then, maybe he could have replaced Usman but playing him as a CB was a no go area, he may be versatile but it is not his best position and he might not have gelled well with Azubyuike if he replaced Usman. all in all I don't think it was a horrible decision by Siasia at all

tbaba1234:


Which team chemistry? If we were looking for team chemistry then Awoniyi and others who were with the team for a long time should have been taken along.

If not for the new additions like Sadiq Umar, Mikel, Shehu Abdullahi and Ekong,

The team would have been disgraced.

tbaba1234:

Mickael2:


didn't you notice how poor Sadiq was? lack of team chemistry, the team played to Mikel's strength so he as the chemistry teacher there. anyways, you need more chemistry your midfield than in any other part of your team. I am.glad he left Ndidi behind if not Ndidi's career might have stagnated dramatically

tbaba1234:


Sadiq was not poor, not in the least.. He scored a fair number of goals. He had one bad game but was not poor.

If Sadiq was poor, what will you say of Awoniyi and Ajayi who could not score for months?

Most of the new players in the team were regulars ... Ndidi would have improved Siasia's team. End of...

What was Sincere Seth doing at CB? Ekong had to work overtime to save us.

I'm done with the issue as u have no solid answer as to why Dalung joined pinnick in squandering 42million on a chartered flight when they both know the NFF are "managing funds" *in pinnick's voice*

And also to why Dalung, defender and voice of the dejected falcons, didn't bother checking on them in cameroun for a brief meeting or a "hi" after their la decima feat. He quickly ran back to catch up with his chartered flight with pinnick.
**this was the testimony of the players themselves**

Stop defending incompetence and double-faced nonsense abeg. I'm done here.

tbaba1234:
Mercy Akide - "I am sorry, My kids are Americans, with the situation going on if something does not change my kids will never play for Nigeria."

Can anyone blame her? Look at the falcons.

safarigirl:
things will change when Pinnick and Dalung get out.

NFF most times is useless, and sometimes the Sports Ministry is useless, but this has to be the first time both the NFF and Ministry of Sports have collaborated in the art of uselessness.

Say what you want, but if GEJ was still President, someone would have paid those girls by now. Buhari is just a useless eediot who doesn't even value women to begin with, so, how will he wade into such a tussle? I bet he doesn't even know what is going on

Mickael2:


during the Olympics, Mikel played more as a second striker, hardly falling back to defend, the stats are there I'd you need it so in such a case you need at least one combative midfielder not necessarily two midfielders who creates from the back, Azubuike is such a player and Ndidi isn't really such and neither is Usman so the presence of Azubuike was vital. back to what you asked if Ndidi was there it would have forced Mikel to come back and join the defence a lot more than he did then thus depriving Sadiq Umar of any meaningful partnership up top and we all know how good Sadiq was against Germany when he had to play up top alone because of the absence of Azubuike. still confused?

BascoVanVeli:



I already gave u an answer, the minister does not plan his flights, he is a minister for crying out loud. Where did u get the news that the minister never met the girls i would like u to post it or point me to it. Stop passing on fake news thats not cool.

goldfish80:

For me Kanu is the best player we have produced. The guy is simply phenomenonial.
Sometimes stats don't tell the full story. For example, stats won't tell you how made the assist before the assist. Stats won't tell you who initiated a move which later snow balled into a goal.

Kanu brings certain skill and composure through which the game flows.
His technical level is out of this world.
Players like Kanu, Berbatov, Pirlo, maybe Totti and lately Ozil are what I would call the endangered specie. Its unfortunate that football managers these days train players as athletes first before footballers. The focus on training these days is on speed, strength, shot. Skill, finness is an after thought, almost like an anormally these days.
Players who play with grace and panache are getting kicked out of the game.

Looking at stats won't tell you how good Kanu is. Watching him play would give any genuine football fan an instant orga$m.

Mickael2:


Ok ok, let's not bring in politics here. This GEJ and Buhari ish is just going to lead us down the dark path again

tbaba1234:


There are retired Nigerian Players and coaches who are still owed till this day. Let us not pretend that it was glorious in the past.

And please, What made GEJ better? Did we not have bonus crisis during the Nations Cup and the world cup? Between 2011 and 2014, Oil sold for about $100, what is the state of our sports infrastructure?

It is better to leave politics off this discussion.

We are talking of successful teams and officials. I never heard such under GEJ. Awoniyi and co's lives changed after winning. Until now, nothing for Amunike's team. Tell me this would happen under GEJ.
