Lol thanks Sir.

Hahahahha u go blame we the younger ones? E dun tey na!! We did sing it today Sha but I wasn't paying attention to pick the lyrics because of Ogui's injury.

Na only "nzogbu" wey I sabi as nwa abia wey I be.

I guess u had a second look at Chidiebere Okolie today?? How about his performance for a prospect's, if u did see the match??

TheGoodJoe:


If you watched a lot of Guardiola's games at Germany, you will see that a lot of teams pressed Bayern Munich more than what we saw today at Tottenham. It is a growing team and some of the players can not deal with the routine.

Fernando, Fernandinho, Kolarov and Otamendi are finding it difficult to keep up with the quick decisions required for the system.

If you watched closely, Claudio Bravo dealt very well with the high pressing of Tottenham. Players with similar qualities will come in. Some from the academy. Some will be bought. When Sane and Gundogan came in, we were more fluid and created loads of chances.

TheSuperNerd:
Well, I know Pep is still the man. A loss was inevitable anyway. A loss was always going to come....

Man City is still in transition under Pep as we both know.

I don't expect Pep to change his philosophy. It is a winning philosophy and the apex of the modern game which can be perfected endlessly.

Fernandinho struggled coz he sat slightly deeper than usual in this pep system for the Spurs game.

Otamendi, Fernando, and Kolarov cracked under high pressure.

The Cityzens will back bounce back and fast..... Nice to see Iheanacho come in and feel the heat also.... He had a nice shot on target from a tight angle. Nacho is just born for the Pep system and all the various tactics that go with the system.

Though there was a point at which Nacho fluffed his shot... Lol... Guess the tension got to him too...

But his movements are always in synergy with the "Central motors" of pep's system at City... (De bruyne, Silva, Gundogan, Nolito, etc)

Pray he keeps up with his improvements....

TheGoodJoe:


Even though Nacho did not score, he showed us what we expect in City in the next few months. With Sane, Nacho and Gundogan coming in, we got control of the game and got chances to score.

We are still in transition and very soon, younger players will feel almost every position. Now, I want Dahoud of Gladbach more than ever. The system needs tireless runners. Kolarov looks tired. Same with Fernandinho. They are working hard but I think they do not suit perfectly. I also hope we seal the Toni Kroos deal. We need someone who keep control at the back under pressure like Bravo. Bravo was composed all through and played his game.

Sad Chidi Nwakali is not here to help. His tiring runs would help the team a lot. I wonder what City are doing to sort his work permit issues.

Icon4s:


Chidi Nwakali? Help ke? Hmmmm....

He doesn't have to tweak his philosophy. Tactics is what he can tweak. Arsene Wenger and Marcelo Bielsa Guardiola understudied, will rather die than change their philosophy.

tbaba1234:


But Arsene has changed.. They have a player like Giroud now that they can float a long ball too and change the style when they are chasing a goal. Before, Arsenal would pass sideways till the game ends.

Icon4s:


Bros, make i no lie. I only switched to the Rangers game at half time of Burnley vs Arsenal. By then it was already 2-0. I saw the replay of that Nwobodo's assist.
That boy's agent needs to help that boy to Europ ASAP. Such raw talent.

Rashidi ahead of Kanu,r u really saying this 4 d second time, ahead of someone with two world trophies on his cabinet,2 APOTY awards,attained the highest level of club football glory, where is Yekini's CL trophy,where is Yekini in world football to Kanu's 6th position in 1996.
he was there in our greatest football conquest till date. Atlanta '96 Olympic gold is still our greatest moment in football history irrespective of what u may think.

Kanu's achievements dwarf that of Yekini's not taking anything away from Yekini,he merits his legendary status in our football folklore but compared to that of Kanu's,no one argues that but u.
In fact,I have never witnessed any argument on who is greater between Kanu and Yekini.
So drop this kind,it's getting 2much of u.

Icon4s:


They celebrated him as a Nigerian legend and not as a Victoria Setubal legend.
Na Yekini obituary pinshure be your own acknowledgement.

Oya show me Segun Odegbami own as a 3SC legend.

tbaba1234:


City were doing the same thing over and over again even when it was not working.

When Inter won the champions league, they beat Barca in the semis, watch that game again, Pep needed a different approach to get a result. Even if the game went on for 5 hours, Barca would have struggled to score.

The point is that , there is no plan B with pep. When it is not working, switch it a bit.

forgiveness:


Which two World trophies? Do you mean under 17 world Cup for the Ta-Ta?

Did Ronaldo de lima win CL?, did Pele win CL?, did Maradona win CL?.did Roberto Bergio win CL?, did Lothar Matthaus win CL?, etc but these are all Legends for their respective countries.

Because you don't know about Nigerian football club history doesn't mean some are ignorant. Maybe indomie needless generation does not know.

Rashidi Yekini has brought glory to Nigeria not Arsenal or Ajax.

Besides, Finidi George was far better and more important than Kanu Nwankwo in that competition and even won AFCON. He started in all the Ajax games except one.

Is Finidi not better than him?

What impact did Kanu Nwankwo bring to that team?

Pele never won any FIFA individual awards too but he is still a Legend for Brazil.


Olympics is an under age competition meant for TA-TAS and it is not a FIFA recognised competition. Sorry.

Tell me what glory Kanu Nwankwo brought to Nigerian football at the highest level. Thanks

CHELSEA’S MIKEL DISMISSES INJURY CLAIMS

[img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkytj4ufe6l8nik.f6e599b9.jpg[/img]



The 29-year-old midfielder has revealed that he is
fully fit for the next week’s World Cup qualifier
against the Chipolopolo.


Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has poured cold
water on speculation that he is unfit to feature in
the upcoming 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifier
against Zambia.


The Super Eagles’ skipper is yet to play for
Antonio Conte’s Blues this season – which has
fuelled assumption that he is nursing an injury
and would not be available to face Wedson
Nyirenda’s side in Ndola.


And the 58 times capped international has
laughed off claims that he won't be suitable for
cracker on October 9.


“I don’t know where the story about my being
injured came from. I have no injury,” Mikel told
the NFF website.

“All the other players and myself are fit and ready
and we are determined to start the World Cup
race on a winning note.”



Meanwhile, technical adviser Gernot Rohr and his
assistants [Jean Luc and Nabil Trabelsi] landed in
Abuja on Sunday as preparations kicked off for
the crucial tie.

Players are expected in camp as from Monday
with training sessions scheduled for morning and
evening each day before departure to Ndola by
chartered flight on Friday.

The three-time African kings must negotiate their
way past Cameroon, Algeria and Zambia to qualify
for the 2018 Fifa World Cup Russia.

All these great players are Tatas in ur mind, like I said,u r the only one alive who would make comments like this against Kanu, but wait, did u actually typed this ''TELL ME WHAT GLORY KANU NWAKWOR BROUGHT TO NIGERIA'' we r talking 'bout King Kanu not Kalu.
I'm pretty sure Messi is not one of ur top 3 greatest players of all time.

Olympics football game remains an underage competition regardless of who participated. It is for U23 Tatas.

It is' NOT A FIFA RECOGNISED COMPETITION'. sorry.

Or is it?


Now, tell me what glory Kanu Nwankwo brought to Nigerian National team Football.


Did Kanu Nwankwo help Nigeria to qualify for the FIFA World Cup?

Did Kanu Nwankwo help Nigeria to win a AFCON?

Did Kanu Nwankwo win AFCON best player of the tournament?

We are not talking about winning laurels as a substitute player but as a influential player. Sorry.

I made this argument sometime ago and was almost eaten alive by TheGoodJoe and Icon4s. Truth is always there in plain sight irrespective of how we feel about it.

That singular act by the FIFA and the Olympic Committee which made Olympic soccer event an underage tourney downgraded that event. That's the Gospel truth

Kanu is larger than life, u go to London they love Kanu, u go to Kaduna the same thing. U can stay up and crunch numbers but still that doesn't change the fact that the man is a legend.

TheGoodJoe:


When we talk about Nigeria's greatest players, we are not talking strictly of players wearing the green white green but great Ambassadors of Nigerian football.

In 1996, FIFA recognised Kanu as one of the best players in the World. He was among the top ten players. This was due to his contribution for Club and Country that year.

If FIFA recognised his Atlanta contributions, how do you guys want us to downplay it. If I remember correctly, the best two teams of the year in 1996 were the Nigerian Olympics team and Ajax team. Kanu Nwankwo was in both.

BascoVanVeli:


I agree but u can't be blind to the fact of how competitive it was in 96.
