emotional ones with over pride go tell u say we no need am

andrewbaba44:


Dude is not interested in naija self

Joezinho:


He plays as a DLP in some games in rangers and even in nigeria. So i am wondering why they said he can't play as a DLP.

charlesemeka85:
If possible mk nff reach out to Bournemouth’s billing again

Dude hv been doing very well in the championship this current season

Ayam in my house eating white soup with fufu so come n beat me

elyte89:




He would make DT Denmark team with his present form..so no need to waste time

TheGoodJoe:


I think I will like to come in here. When we talk about deep-lying playmaker, to the best of my knowledge, it has to do with the role than the position.

I will list some players in this era who I consider ideal deep-lying playmakers.

Granit Xhaka
Thiago Alcantara
Jorginho

The thing about these players has to do with their natural style. Even when they venture forward, they still play in a particular manner. They like the short passing game.

One thing about them is that they like to operate from deep. They are comfortable playing for a long time close to the defenders and like to build attacks from the back with their passes.

So when these guys write Aribo as a deep-lying playmaker, I wonder if they are referring to him operating in that manner. That is sitting deep and using passes to dictate play.

I might be wrong because I have not watched much of Aribo but in the few I saw, he is not the player that likes to sit and play deep for a long time. Offensive play is a big part of his game.

I will like others to add. Do you see Aribo as a player that plays like Xhaka or Jorginho?

charlesemeka85:
same as lookman before

charlesemeka85:
surprised you no mention nwakali among those you consider to be dlp

andrewbaba44:


Lookman cannot make England team ,same can’t be said of billing for Denmark

The difference is clear

charlesemeka85:
billing wey Dey vex say dem no carry am go euro?

Even em no Dey in good terms with some of the danish fa members as well as the national team coach

andrewbaba44:


That will be the reason he will be left out of their squad ,not for footballing reasons .

charlesemeka85:
you get time to reply pple wey body Dey pepper all the time for my boi case

Joezinho:


I dare Eguavoen to start Nwakali against Ghana and see what happens. Anyone who understands football would have noticed Nwakali's game. Nobody is saying he is not skilful. It's the work off the ball and the overall energy that is missing from his game. Let Eguavoen start him against Ghana, so we can all just close this matter once and for all.

It's funny Eguavoen is starting Nwakali ahead of Onyeka.

Onyeka so bad yet he is playing in the epl week in week out.

Nwakali is so good, he is guarding his skills on the bench of a second tier mid table team in Spain..

Nwakali is average….in fact he is worse than average….

He played two games and was average at best….(that’s me being kind)..

Majority of Nigerians have access and can afford quality food daily...

KFC and some other restaurants are foreign owned restaurants...

Nigerian owned restaurants are cheaper...

smallscale restaurants are cheaper and affordable..

at least 12 years ago when I was in University, I spent less than ₦700 in total on 3 square meals daily..

there are restaurants where you can spend less than ₦700 per day and eat 3 square high quality meals ..

charlesemeka85:
when I tell you guys that the hate for kids born in the diaspora is real here una go say I be as****licker

We are suppose to be happy that a great addition as lookman is in our disposal now but to few here they are just pained to see another British born player in the mix

The only 2 wingers based on current form that I won’t drop for lookman in the current eagles set up is Simon and Dennis, others lookman is better than them based on current form

andrewbaba44:


Most people here don’t hate abroad born players here so calm down

The few people that are against lookman is because of that our Warri guy in the Uk ,the way he talks down on naija born ,nothing else

How many people hate Ekong balogun ebuehi ? They where all born abroad and they are loved by many here


And for you ,anything wey be abroad good to you ,when they where telling you Maduka Okoye was shaky you Dey see am as hate but you later kept quiet

Bro, nobody is against Lookman at all.. we all know that he is a quality player and would be a good addition to the team.. The problem is that some folks are trying to make our present wingers look poor by saying Lookman is far better than them, which is simply not true if you compare their stats...

As far as I am concerned, this is just a rant and attack.

Football has passed the stage of players in a better league. Strategy and tactics are crucial to starting a lineup.

As for the energy you are talking about, a simple positional understanding can sort a lot. If he relies on his strengths. That is, using his passing skills to unlock defenses, he would not need to run too much to defend effectively.

Saying Nwakali was average is you not being honest. He was well above average against Guinea Bissau. Learn to analyse without interests or sentiments. Advice.

andrewbaba44:


Nwakali above average against guinea Bissau ?

You cap nonsense with confidence always

How many players where even above average that day self

TheGoodJoe:


He was above average. If the players took his chances, he would have nailed an assist or two. That is not Nwakali's fault that players did not take the chances he created.

He was not above average

Even almost the whole team where average but Nwakali was above average ?

He no give assist he say e no give assist

Karlovych:
His strengths which are his passing skills to unlock defenses has yielded 0 assists and 0 goals this season.

fabyom:
Okoye/Uzoho

Aina Ekong Omeruo Sanusi

Ndidi Aribo

Chuz Dennis Simon

Oshimen

Ghana-Naija is about who wants it more.

Dennis can use both feet and dribbles better than Nacho.

Welcome Lookman!

I think Nacho should play as a striker. Maybe coming on for Osi!

Ndidi and Aribo partnership should not be changed for anything!

Joezinho:


No. He doesn't. But does Nwakali play like Jorginho or Pirlo? He has great trapping skills but does he have great tackling skills, vision, and positional awareness ? These are extremely important skills for a DLP..

Andrea Pirlo, Jorginho and Yaya Toure for Barca did great with it. . Pirlo was the one that gave true understanding to the role, and the devastation it could be.

TheGoodJoe:


I repeat you can not blame a player that creates chances. Nwakali's job was to create chances and he did.

Which has lead to 0 goal contributions for his side, no wonder Huesca are about to release him into the wilderness. They are sick of him creating chances
