Let me ask you a question, what do you think is the problem of our national team? why do you think we find it hard to score against a 'good' team?

Kog45:
The team is predictable and only way out is for Peseiro to be more tactical in his approach to matches. I don't want to mention player X and Y are needed cuz their outputs still center on Peseiro tactics.

codemaniacs:


poor coaching,
poor goal or chance creation training,
selfish players,
selfish players who want the glory of "I scored the goal",
poor crossers of the ball,
poor wingers who don't know how to cross,
poor passing training
poor corner kick takers
poor free kick takers
e.t.c..

mostob:
So do you still think Gift will give you the performance you demanded even with all these problems?

Statistics are at best indicative particularly when taking in context.

A quality Midfielder will and can make a defence splitting pass after dribbling past two players and deceptively causing defenders to change position. That pass gives the forward player an academic tap in for a goal.

The 95% of the oustanding exceptional quality work was done by the midfielder, that led the the goal. However, statistics will record it as a pass. It doesn't tell us the quality and or ingenuity behind the pass.

When you take the quality of the league into context we even have more questions. Making a good defence splitting of pass is a lot more difficult in the EPL and the La Liga for instance. However, that degree of difficulty is not captured by statistics.

In this regards you could make 100 passes that are accurate because you are not playing against a high pressing team and or the players contending with you are lack intensity, anticipation and quality. The quality of the passes are not captured by statistics.

You could even lob the ball long to an Onuachu type players surrounded by short defender's lacking physicality. That means 100% accuracy that's not because it's a quality pass but rather in the context of poor quality defence. Thats not captured by statistics.

A defender can spend the whole match defending because they are a poor team. Those defenders will have high statistics for blocks, tackles, headed clearances. It doesn't mean oustanding quality defenders or team work. But the opposite, that deduction is not captured by statistics.

Now let's see the CONTEXT of the Segundo division with a balanced ⚖️ quasi score card appraisal. It's important that some understanding of the quality of the league is known. Before assumptions are made .

The first 6 teams of the Segundo have some quality but not oustanding IMO. The rest are poor quality, let me explain.

Villarreal B is essentially the youth team of Villa Real or essentially the U21 team. It would be a direct comparison to any EPL U21 Academy side. It's important to not me that the age requirement has strict adherence. There will be players of 15 sometimes, most will be teenagers and a few senior players over 21 recovering from injury and or demoted.

Villarreal B have played Ponferradina twice one draw and lost 2-1 after loosing a player to red card.

Villa Real B played Wolves last year summer and beat them 2-1. Liverpool U21 played then and beat them 5-0.

Wolves U21 sit at the bottom of the EPL league 2.

I have said it repeatedly that absolutely no EPL league 2 team will beat a Championship team NO WAY NO HOW. That particular deduction is proven past and present.

I went on to say that no EPL league 2 team will beat a league one team. At the time Liverpool were to play Accrington in league one, I said here before the game Liverpool will never win.

I have watched Liverpool FC U21 as well as several other Academy team up close and personal. I also do this in Europe as well. So I don't rely on statistics but first hand appraisal, talking with coaches and even club football analysts.

The vast majority of players in this league will not get into many EPL U21 Academy teams. That is the context of thr larger% of the Segundo division.

It's not HATE to say that Nwakali is poor quality, the two academies he went to Arsenal and Porto rejected him , poor quality not good enough.

So even if he is doing great in his relegation and bankruptcy facing team. It's not a sign of quality but MEDIOCRITY. He is not SE quality there are too many players doing way better.

Without prejudice this Ponferradina team will struggle in the English National League 5th tier.

A sign of quality is sometimes the amount of transfer interest a player generates, Nwakali only generates interest here nowhere else .

Please avoid me with any of the pre-written pinnick defence notes you have already. I don't have time for that.

CAF is overseeing the CAF African Schools Football Championship and work hand in hands with the various Football associations aligned with where the reps come from.


Are you aware Pinnick and the NFF were approached for this CAF Schools competition by CAF but they ignored it? They didn't acknowledge it.

So please and please spare me your "pro pinnick" stance. I am not anti-anyone. I just don't stand for incompetence and dodgy nonsense.

Kog45:
I wanted to brought this to your notice cuz you are very close to some of our ex internationals from Rivers and Bayelsa sides of Nigeria....the last time I heard of him was him turning to fisherman

Emma Ebiede belonged to the class of Wilson Oruma and James Obiorah that super talented Austin Okocha denied them the opportunity to really make name for themselves in eagles.

Ebiede must have been duped or spend recklessly cos he had fairly career in Europe with Henreveen.This must have led to depression and frustration to pure gin in take

I wish him soonest recovery

do4luv14:




I don't understand why anytime I raise a point to long into, that involves him, you all term it defence of him,

Tell me, from where the same CAF get the ideas for schools sport from, The Both U14 and 15 boys and gals cup, played during their first term is from CAF right,

Sorry to quote you, I hope you feel well now

TheSuperNerd:
@Emboldened... Well, it's because there have never been a time when Pinnick's name is dropped here that you ignore. You always have something defensive to utter whenever his name is dropped. It is well noticed by now and I am highly surprised you haven't noticed it yourself.


The point is this CAF SFC going on currently was brought to the notice of the Pinnick-led NFF board last year. A communique sent to them but they ignored it. No interest shown at all. Finito.

I was not that close to them but was a neighbor to coach Monday Sinclair, on the same block. So many of them were visitors to Sinclair. He discovered and coached them. Even Ebiede is his boy. Then I used to be pals with old sharks fc boys who were their teammates.

Behold☝️☝️ the moniker that kickstarted the "Jibola Adebola" wave dating back to December 25 (Christmas Day), 2021 few weeks/several days before Afcon Kickoff in January 2022 (Jan 9).

None other than the Elite Troublemaker himself and former believer in Kelechi Nwakali... Chriskels 😁😁😂

And since then, the name has stuck. 🎯

Exactly why I added this very important info at @blue emboldened☝️☝️😂😂😂

I am up to date. 😂😂😂

codemaniacs:







Orban was greatly needed during the last window.

because anyone who watched the S.E since last year AFCON defeat to Tunisia and World Cup qualifier draw against Ghana knows that the S.E does not score against good teams and that means the S.E needs goalscorers like Orban, Boniface e.t.c and midfielders like Nwakali, Onyedika, Yusuf e.t.c and wingers like Ejuke to score goals.

Orban will reduce and protect Osimhen or Moffi chances of getting injured because he can bench either of them or be subbed on at 60mins for any of them don't forget Cancelo was benched by an 18 years old player because Pep wanted to do so.

Osimhen or Moffi can be benched if the coach ( or NFF ) wants to bench either them in order to test other goalscoring strikers and protect Osimhen or Moffi from injury.

Besides Osimhen has not been scoring against good national teams and I sometimes feel as if his lack of goals against strong national teams is sabotaging the S.E.

The S.E is not England that has Ivan Toney but will let Harry Kane play the whole match due to bias and won't even test if both Ivan Toney and Kane can start the match together.

How person go give name to him pikin and abandoned him... Okay me I wan adopt Jibola.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... Uncle Kog. You sure say you wanna adopt Jibola Adebola? Okay, I see, you are looking for one to become a youngrr bro to your first adopted son, Big Awo. 😁

Well, that's okay. Just contact Chriskels with your lawyers for official transfer of guardianship. Lol😂

Ihenzy:

GNB is now a strong national team right?
Besides how can you say we don't have goal scorers. How sure are you orban would have been different.
The ejuke you mentioned when last did you hear about him

Kog45:
No wahala Doctor

comodo:

Kelechi Nwakali is Ponferradina FC best player. That's an undisputed fact. And he will move in the summer. He keeps it simple and makes it look easy for the team in MF. His passes are always spot on. I think maturity has started setting in.

komekn:


After 4 years of consistent regression in the Segunda division he goes into deeper mediocrity. And found his level in bottom of the Segundo division

Ponferradina is bankruptcy team in the relegation zone permanently.

Villarreal B which is essentially the U21 team is in number 9 in the Segunda division.

comodo:

Poor quality indeed. But when measured against the ones you call quality in the same league. He trumped them. Therefore if K Nwakali that you called poor quality sits on top the log, those guys should just look for another career. Maybe just join and blow trumpet for one band group. Football is not their calling.

codemaniacs:


Unlike Osimhen, Gift Orban drops deeper than defenders or starts his runs from deep so he won't be offside too much like Osimhen who's offside positioning kills the S.E attacks before they even start...

it's not only about Gift or any player giving the performance demanded, its about not killing the attacks before they start due to offside and scoring the chances the S.E gets...

I want to see how many offsides the S.E gets if Osimhen does not start and if we would from any chances created during Osimhen's absence especially against a good team...
