BascoVanVeli:


But why are you guys forgetting that he has an U20 world cup to play?

I thought the NFF said he is not going to be part of the U20 team.

Danielnino00:
Chukwueze should stay at Villarreal till the end of the season jare.. .. Even if they get relegated,his stocks will rise as long as he performs well...

A good showing at the AFCON will be a bonus for him... By next season he might be seeing him at a better club...

Why do you think Etebo and Ebuehi moved b4 world cup ?

Chukwueze might get only few mins in AFCON.Rohr prefers wingers that track back to defend and attack with the team.Kalu is currently scoring in France and will continue to keep Chukwueze on the bench.

Simy was outstanding for Crotone last season, scoring 6 goals in his last 8 games.How many mins did he get in the WC? Ighalo who was on goal drought even kept him on the bench.He ended up being relegated with Crotone.

andrew444:


Lol e don change mouth

Shebi na una dey insult ighalo make dem no call am again after poor world cup, lol 2 mouth

But i didnt say aina deserve to go to the world cup nah? why are you acting as if i said so,i said he was improved chikena

How did idowu impress so because he score Argentina he impress?

Abeg mention a good competitive game idowu has been brilliant for naija?

Idowu's problem is that he is too defensive minded, does not get involved with wing-plays and dosen't link up with the teams attack thereby stressing the LW.
Rohr picked Idowu as a LB ahead of Aina because he wants a solid back 4.He kept on starting Shehu ahead of Ebuehi for this same reason.

Aina is too attack minded and most times commit errors which makes the team concede.

Mhoyorsawreh1:


I agree to some of ur points but aina has improve greatly this season serie A. He sometimes play as LB, LWB, RB in torino.

Aina likes to attack, so will be more suited as a RWB and LWB not as a RB or LB.As a RWB he is ahead of Shehu but as a RB, Shehu is ahead of him.

He mainly plays as a RWB/LWB for Torino.Even when he was rated the best RB in the championship he failed to replicate his club performance for the Super Eagles.

andrew444:

You don turn komekn wey dey use man of the match judge players

Lol.

andrew444:


Na lie ,shehu no better pass Ambrose for right back ,can shehu even cross ball ,you think current days right back Na just to dey defend ?

Oh ask Marcelo

Shehu had a MOTM performance and an assist against Zambia that qualified us for WC.

Aina is good when attacking but average when it comes to defending.I recall his error against Argentina where he was too attack minded exposing Balogun for one of Arg goal
and in another friendly where his tackle resulted in a PK against us.

Shehu is better defending which stops the team from conceding through the right.

andrew444:


51 caps no b joke and e never play for naija for almost 4 years

Efe Ambrose is already 30/31 ,during his younger days he has played top flight football more than our current player ,played in the champions league constitently

Ambrose is one of our best scoring defender after Joseph yobo

Yes his time is past ,but sorry if e get an Epl move his time is back

Our defenders that cannot even score any goal from set piece ,all out corner kick na waste

He makes mistake in Celtic doesn't means he makes mistake in the eagles so no carry him club blunder come eagles abeg

Which better full back we get apart from ebuehi?

Also Ola aina because he has been doing well at torino and has improve a lot

So you think jamilu Collins is better than Ambrose ? Or shehu abdulahi then you must be joking

Ebuehi and aina are the only full back better than Ambrose ,take it or leave it

Shehu is better than both Efe and Aina defensively.

Curtisaxel7:


Kanu vs Okocha? Efficiency vs Entertainment.

Okocha may not have scored plenty goals, but the pure estactic joy his drag backs, nutmegs, flicks, feints, leg overs, and rainbow flicks gave to his fans are more precious than fifty goals.

"Beauty is the most important thing, winning is secondary, joy is what matters the most."- Socrates of Brazil.

#RespectJayJay.

U are wrong.In modern day football getting the 3 points is primary.Coaches go for players with end product.

Villarreal in their last 2 games have sacrificed beautiful football for survival.

elyte89:



Wc KANU...yinmu,person. Wey no score any goal for nations cup all thru his career
I still prefer okocha to him,even though d format lacks discipline during his time


I could remember one of his silly excuse for missing a friendly match hosted in London,claiming he doesn't knw his way to d host stadium..okocha mess up big time with dt statement

This is just like comparing Ndidi(DMF) with Iwobi(AM).

KANU unlike Okocha is a DMF/CMF.

andrew444:


How do you mean bros?

The new pattern requires that wingers track back to defend which doesn't suit Chukwueze.In their last 2 games they played with the new pattern Chukwueze has been average and poor.

andrew444:


lol Villarreal na relegation team but them dey always dey Europa league ? And they even qualified for the round of 32

Why won't you be tag an hater when you turn blind eyes when you good things

Now help me ask my people where are the offers for chukwueze that they want him to leave ?

Dem go just dey read rumors online ,Villarreal are yet to receive any concrete offers yet someone want him to fly to another club

Una for kukuma say make e go trial like lokosa

Chukwueze might be sacrificed if he fails to adapt to the new pattern.

andrew444:


And you want make e fly go just like that as if no b club go allow am?

All those ones na rumors abeg

Madrid don dey find hazard for 3 years now why e never fly go .

Chukwueze got no concrete offers

Their current system doesn't suit him as it requires wingers with energy to burn and ability to track back to complement their weak defence.

Chukwueze is a player that excels in an attacking system.He is not Kalu or Moses Simon.

He shouldn't have extended his contract with them.No club will sign a player who hasn't played a full season with buy-out clause of 40m Euros, that's a huge risk.

andrew444:


Chukwueze to move this January abi ?

There is no concrete offer bro ,he can't force his self to move when there is no offer bro ,get that

No be you talk say Villarreal no fit go relegation?

Now you are saying he had no concrete offers.

I just hope we don't get a repeat of Simy's case with Crotone.

andrew444:


Chukwueze to move this January abi ?

There is no concrete offer bro ,he can't force his self to move when there is no offer bro ,get that

A lot of clubs were interested in him but it's now too late since he has extended his contract with them.

Utonwanne:



That Ekambi guy is good also



Villareal is going down.......

I thought some said Villarreal can't get relegated.

Tolulopefinest:
Chukwueze out for Ekambi.
This Coach is sick.

When a team is battling relegation, they sacrifice beautiful football for survival.Some players are also sacrificed in the process except those who can adapt to the new pattern.

I said it earlier that Chukwueze should move.

Their current pattern requires that wing-forwards track back to defend which doesn't suit Chukwueze .Chukwueze has been average or poor with the new pattern as observed from today's game and their away game against Eibar.

Curtisaxel7:


I see no reason to reinvite Vicmo.

The guy has grown bigger than the SE. The little success he has had has entered his head. In the match against Argentina he reportedly blatantly refused to play as a wingback. The NFF president himself had to go to the dressing room to beg Vicmo before he grudgingly accepted. And we could see how halfhearted his display was that day. No matter how good a player is, he is no use if he feels he is bigger than his coach and team mates.

The Moses of 2013 with hunger and passion in his eyes is not the Moses of 2019. Let's make no mistakes. Yes he has paid his bills in the SE but if an apprentice becomes too big to listen to his oga's instructions, he is sent home empty handed and in shame no matter how long or how well he had previously served. "Okro anaghi akari onye kuru ya"!.

WE OWE VICMO NOTHING!

Since we will be facing African teams, we still need him.

He has always performed well as a winger against African oppositions, but for the WC or against European opposition, he is better as a wing-back.

In 2014 World Cup he was poor against Iran, held the ball too much instead of passing.Babatunde later took his place in the team.In 2018 world cup he was poor against Croatia.

He needs to realise he is very good as a wing-back but poor as a winger.

Oasis007:




I guess you won't be the first to call him out as an overrated Kid if.... God forbids, he fails to making first XI after the Move?! You call it a defeatist Mentality, I call it a realist Mentality.

Yeah..... It's good to be an Optimist, but I'm more of a Realist than an Optimist. I vividly remember when thegoodjoe was vehemently against Iheanacho leaving Man City, some of us called him Names, but Today he's vindicated.

He left City for playing time because he wanted to remain with the national team.

You can't make WC list with all those 5 and 10mins appearances.

He made the choice.How are you sure he is in Pep's plan?He even broke record of being the 1st 4th sub in the FA cup.

A young player needs at least 70mins of real match action every week to develop.

andrew444:


Those club you mentioned gave top team a run for their money but the question you will ask if did those team gave top team a run for their money during their season of relegation ? Hell No

If villareal goes down the better players will leave there take it or leave it,as far as chukwueze is good he wont be there at villareal

Solomon Rondon didnt go down with west brom because he is a good player

Shaqiri didnt go down with
Should i mention more?

I recall West Brom beating Man U last season while Stoke drew with Liverpool.

Tammy was balling for Swansea at the beginning of the season but still got relegated with them.

andrew444:


Moving january is bad, Villareal will not be relegated

Dont compare chukwueze case to simmy

We are talking about a young talent here

La liga is just 17 games and you are talking about villareal being relegated , mind you villareal is one of the big teams in spain,they started so poorly last season and they still ended up with a europa league spot

You guys are talking as if villareal is in the position of chievo is seria A

Its only 6 point gaps between 17th place Villarreal and 8th place valencia so whats the fuss about all this relegation talk

Even with Chukwueze Villarreal has been drawing with lesser teams and losing to big and mid-table teams.

Villarreal tend to concede goals easily.They even drew with SD Huesca and lost to Celta Vigo at home.What if the coach changes to a formation that requires a Samuel Kalu type of winger?

andrew444:


Moving january is bad, Villareal will not be relegated

Dont compare chukwueze case to simmy

We are talking about a young talent here

One of his goals was a bicycle kick against Juventus to tell you how high his confidence was last season.

andrew444:


Na now you want make him strike? season never end na

Last season Crotone got a new coach who decided to give Simy playing time.Simy finished last season with Six goals in his last 8 games in the Series A, but that was not enough to save his team from relegation.He made the WC list but didn't receive offers from top clubs.He is now in Serie B and is being ignored by the national team.

Chukwueze should move if he gets an offer from a better club.To remain in a relegation threatened club when you are opportuned to have offers from better clubs is a big gamble.

andrew444:


Villareal will not relegate and even if villareal relegates he will never go down with them... NEVER

Strike when the iron is hot.

Icon4s:


Bros try be explicit. Do you mean to add to my squad list? Match day squad? Starting 11? Sub into a game and of course what is the complexity of the game as at that moment that I was going to make the substitution?

Lol.

You for tell the guy say you no go answer.

BascoVanVeli:



I don't think he should leave Villarreal. Their brand of football is perfect for him and he is always going to be loved and supported at the club. We should not discount what the environment he is in has added to his growth.

Bro, Simy is now in Serie B.

ChrisKels:
Only a stupiid man would question Chukwueze's age. If u wanna know more about Chukwueze, ask guys who were in Michael Okpara Uni of Agric Umudike (MOUAU) and its environs (from government college to Gate, infact the whole of Ibeku). Chuks was at most 17 when he came up against me in MOUAU stadium in 2016 after his exploits in Chile. Looking at his small frame, I was full of confidence that I would easily keep him in check despite his pedigree, bkus Dude was clearly looking his teens and I was vidibly older though I was 22 going on 23 then. To cut long story short, the name Marcelo that I was fondly called then instantly eluded me in the pitch and I was a mere Echiejile before Chuks. Till date, my babe still taunts me for my shambolic displays that day, whenever the name Chukwueze comes up.

Just so u kno, Diamond Football Academy doesnt take players who are outta sec skul, otherwise u present ur original waec result for age verification. Birth certs can easily be doctored but not waec results bkus waec doesn't register candidates below 16, hence u would be required to add to ur age if u fall below the minimum age.

I've always believed the MRI to be 98% efficient till I heard of Uzoho's marriage ,coupled with the fact that his team mates(SE) use his age to mock him.

Onyekuru

Nice, but a 7/10 rating for Agu would've been better, under most improved.

The guy is a typical destroyer but still has to work on his passing and on-the-ball movement.He kept on playing the ball back to the defence against Uganda.

damagnificentusb:


CHRISKEL

Exactly.

tbaba1234:
There is still a player in Iheanacho. He just lacks the confidence and the determination, he once had. I don't know what can help him regain that confidence/passion though. Maybe a psychologist.

He needs to lose some weight too.

Iheanacho is a player who thrives in a team that plays attacking football with quality wingers and mid-fielders.

I suggest he moves to a top table team in Europe.

Icon4s:


My comment did not trigger Bobobooge's in any way.

I don't think he is 19.But he is very young.

I recall a moniker here once said Chukwueze was hired as a mercenary to play against their school team and that day he disgraced him(the moniker) who before then was known as Marcelo.

Icon4s:

Here we go again

Boss, na you start am.

Mickael2:



Bros not to argue anything at all as I won't be available to reply but you need to go and watch that game again. If you say we matched the Croatians then....well then I guess I now see why you are an Arsenal fan

We matched the Croatians in the middle.
