Etebo exhibited that quote "when life throws a lemon at u, turn around and make a juice out of it"

Enroute Egypt I labelled him a carpenter, dude smiled, got hold of a hammer in the event proper and nailed our midfield.




I was impressed.

Joebie:
yes, Ekpolo

If I'm right he was a B player in Barcelona and didn't make it then ended up playing kick and rush in league one for Fleetwood Town. I watched him live he was not impressive I am sorry to say.

He didnt understandably last long if you have been playing pretty technical football in Spain and come to league one, it will be a big CHALLENGE to adapt.

I think he is in Sweden

As for ur first paragraph, it's a no brainer,many ppu here knew Mikel won't exceed 2019 calender year as a Nigerian player,few were only contemplating if he would honor d afcon tourney or not


And on ujah,going by Andrew444 analysis dt says,"IF" UJAH scores 15goals in a season in bundesliga,or churns out good performance week in week out,rohr will invite him,whether u rate him or not and to me dts correct cos we as a nation we can't afford to ignore a player/talent playing in such a league with such a decent "15goals" record in a season(we re not Brazil,Spain etc)


On rohr speaking abt nacho is a norm. he has been part of d team for a long time now,he can't wait to have him back but d truth of d matter is "IF" by November or so ,when eagles will play deir first match,and nacho doesn't enjoy enuf playing time let alone of scoring goals,he might not b invited,forget what rohr is saying now, but as a fan,I hope he continues his form cos of all d players we av @ d moment, nacho fits d no 9 position perfectly, he knws aw d team plays,so to me I think it will b a plus if both ujah and nacho churn out good performance on d pitch,just d way okereke is doing @ d moment

Consider what you have presented in highlighted in the bold.

That's most DISSAPOINTING coming from you of all people. I expected a more substantive approach or if you like balance score card assessment of sorts. Not this joining the bandwagon of sentiment and fanatical favoritism for a player who has failed over the past three seasons in the No. 9 role comprehensively.

A player is only as good as his last season, this is a short term career. There is very little time to impress.

For the past three seasons the truth must be told KC has been ABYSMAL. People talk about him like he was a prolific goal scorer. He simply was not they use statistics to misrepresent his attributes.

He scored 12 goals in two seasons for Manchester city in the EPL in his last season 2016/17 at City he scored 4 goals. For the past two seasons he has scored 4 goals in the EPL after 51 games, let's stop this unnecessary fanatical support its an insult to other Nigerian players who are doing well.

Now some are calling him a better prospect than Ujah currently that's not true. How many goals would Ujah score surrounding by world class players if given the same opportunity. ❓

What we have here is shameless hypocrisy and double standard.

Then with regards to being a No. 9 KC is simply not an out an out striker he just doesn't have the attributes. In this regard there are too many ahead and better than him in that position.

Bascovanveli2:


The problem was that he hit a wall last season because that was his first year as a pro. U can't blame him much before then he was carrying QPR. Reminds u of Richarlison at Watford when he scored all those goals in the first half of the season then went blank in the rest.

Maybe so.

But this football business at club level is very unforgiving if you don't put on top performances consistently. Your position will be taken over by someone who can, that's football.

For me to tell him anything else is to set him up to fail.

To get time the top you need not just ability but determination, diligence and mental resilience.

Alex Ferguson waa harsh with his players to get the best out of them and push them to the next level. Pep cam be ruthless too look how Raheem has improved and how he dropped KC.

Bascovanveli2:

Osayi gave the pass for the first goal too.

Considering his experience with d team and what we av @ d moment... "IF" HE can up his game and hit d form,its a no brainer,he shld b d heir to dt throne,Iggy left behind,osimhen to me wasn't convincing and ready for DT position, though u might want to argue he played just one match,but deres a popular saying dt says Sunday wey go good,na from Saturday we go knw,judging from dt match against Tunisia ,I will pick an inform nacho ahead of osimhen,anytime,anyday however maybe d new club (lille) he joined now will up his game and fitness level,and d oda options we av are "green horn" considering dey av no experience with d team...my opinion

Am surprised no place in the north even abuja. Or is it because it's female football?

Very good.. No quota system here. But that Onikan stadium has been under construction for a while now... I hope it will be ready in time...
I would have preferred Yenagoa stadium ahead of Asaba, but Bayelsa doesn't have a functioning airport...

Abuja stadium is too big to host the competition.. And aside Kaduna, I don't think there is any city in the core north that has the facilities to host the competition.. Even Kano has an astro pitch stadium...not good enough for the game..
And when u consider the recent cases of banditry in the region makes it not very safe. Plus Sharia law may cause wahala

Seems like u (and some others on this thread) have make up ur mind(s) to judge Osimhen with the 50 minutes he played against Tunisia.. Did u judge Ighalo's career in the GWG with his first game? It took him almost 10 games before he scored his first goal for the team...even Iheanacho didn't score on his debut. Osimhen currently has better attributes of a true9 than both Ighalo and Iheanacho. .mobility, pace, ball control and work rate!he didn't score against Tunisia but the aforementioned qualities were evident. Give him more chance before u judge him...

IFK midfielder Alhassan Yusuf: Wolves rumours inspiring

IFK Gothenburg midfielder Alhassan Yusuf is aware of rumours linking him with Wolves.

It's been suggested Wolves have been told by IFK it will take €7m to sign the Nigerian.

Yusuf told GT: "I hear about what is written, but it is the kind that always comes if you play well and make good matches.

"It's something you have to be happy about, even if what is written is not always right. Obviously it's very fun that people even think that I could go to such big clubs. It is very inspiring.

"I want to play in the top leagues and get the challenges. It's every player's dream and it's the same for me. It's something I've dreamed about since I was a little kid, it would have been really cool."

As far as i am concerned osimhen didnt play at the afcon, whats 50 minutes?

If osimhen play 5 games self e no score i no go still judge am

Am not the coach to select, but he is my number 1 striker for now if i am to list

And i pray he adapt to ligue 1 immediately

Chidera Ejuke scored a 92 minute goal for henreveen, he was subbed in at the 67th minute of the game.

Another dutch nigerian also played for henreveen his name is Hamdi Akujobi

Rockyrascal:

As far as I know, it's the pitch that's in a poor condition..but I don't think that's the issue... The women u-20 world cup doesn't need big capacity stadiums. 5-20k capacity is okay.

Africans teams don't have patience, more than half of the teams not in final have sacked or the coaches have resigned

Next AFCON same result, same reaction

U are talking of QPR here. If their standards were that high they would be in the prem by now. This is why young talented players go to clubs like this so they will be able to get chances even after mistakes. If I am not mistaken that was his first full season as a pro and overall he did good.

wow thats good
