forgiveness:


My blood is truly red but Chelsea is the color.

I don't know if I will continue after the departure of Mikel.

forgiveness:


Humm! It seems you can not differentiate a statement from a question.

It is glaring yours is a statement while my is question to someone who said a coach was right to have demanded for physical players over technical players.


Tell me how that your statement correlates with my question?

In fact, I have already thrashed it and I think you can comprehend. If not go back and read it until you understand even if it will take you half a century.

Sorry, I am done with you.

You need a strong mind if you want to succeed or retain success. Cheers,!

forgiveness:

Yes, he can and even as a rw.

TheSuperNerd:
Last I checked.... Musa Yahaya was indeed promoted to train with the first team during the international break in september but he's still with Porto B sub-majorly as he just joined in the recent summer window.

There are news feelers of his possible debut for the first team soon in the cup competitions perhaps but it's not certain.

He's been doing good for the team (Porto B) and even scored in their 2-1 pre-season win over moirenense (I think?) before the season began.

So summarily, he switches between training with Porto's first team and then training with Porto B. His rise at porto was so meteoric that he started training with the first team 3months after he arrived without playing an official game for porto B before the sept. International break.

Specific Info on Yahaya is not so easy to come by but will always try to keep tabs on him as with many others.

ChrisKels:


Sola should count himself lucky. That single act brought Keshi to disrepute among most football loving fans and I hated him (keshi) for that. Keshi ridiculed the SE. Chai I can't forget the insult I received from Mensah and ghanaman that year...calling us dumping ground of England rejects Chai

forgiveness:


First of all, is Isaac Success more skillful than Victor Moses?

It is too early to ask why Solanke is not playing because we still have a lot of games to play. Besides, he is was just recalled back from loan.

How can a Poacher rake in some few numbers of assist in a competition?

Please, watch the YouTube and tell me how many assist he could have had to his credit if the misfiring players fully utilize the opportunity?

Who told you he not a player?

Watch the video very well and you will see he played from the wings and he can give a killer pass.

Below is the record of his assist.

TheGoodJoe:


I agree with you. Conte openly lied that Mikel was injured. Definitely, that man has the guts to drop V. Moses if he puts Nigeria ahead of Chelsea.

I think the coach should leave Moses out for now and look into others. Mazzari is also an Italian. Success needs to break into the starting line-up. So we should leave him out of the squad.

TheSuperNerd:
E-wine sent since hours ago. Yara Yara attended to that while I was away doing something.

I'm not surprised Sir Mickael2 has good football tactical experience as a player. He sounded like one....

That's why I had to point out my respect for his analytical prowess while sending him to "the other room" for the mikel stunt.

Sir Mickael2... You are welcome indeed. Hope Yara Yara showed up with the wine because I'm not with him ooo.....

Meanwhile, Sir GoodJoe... Which level naa?? So you bin dey carry boxing gloves for am sef...

**looks at the gloves**

No wonder.... **lips sealed**

safarigirl:
the last time we beat a team by 3 goals was actually in 2013 under Keshi, that was the AFCON semis and I believe Mali was the unfortunate recipient of a 4-1 trashing

TheGoodJoe:
I want to address the talk of Amunike's team not having talented players.

Different coaches have different philosophies and styles. A player might look talented in a system and look poor in another system.

The tiki taka passing philosophy requires players who work hard off the ball. Whether getting into position to receive passes or working hard as a unit to retrieve the ball. The players do not dribble unnecessarily unless they are in a difficult situation.

The players rely on quick decision making instead of brilliant football tricks. They did well and carried out Amunike's plans well.

I see tagging them not as talented as other sets unfair because they do things the others can not. The players some tag as more talented can not fit perfectly into Amunike's system. I hope these young lads get more exposure and I hope the NFF supports them by rewarding them for their exploits.

We need to keep producing top quality players. With their rewards, they can make moves to secure trials. There are coaches who need these players and they give the team different options.

Bro once upon a time the Nigerian team was full of talented players and they played as a team.

At the youth level I expect coachea to focus more on scouting talented players and not just 'system players'. Because in the long run our footie benefits.

Apart from playing as a team, the individual brilliance of Iheanacho and Iwobi earned us 3 points in Zambia. And that should be our dream at the youth level. 'Talented kids' Its not just about winning the trophy.

Manu's 2013 team can boast of many future stars. How many can Amunike's team boast of?

Mickael2:


exactly! once you say talented people start seeing a player with flashy boots beating four or five players at a bounce or a player spraying killer passes from one defence through the other. that isn't the total definition of talent. and once you are playing ticki tacka you don't really need that in fact. if a player can make basic.passes, intercept play, Mark his man or cover his zone then he is talented,these things may look easy but it takes talent to be able to do it for ninety minutes

LOL! You are really a funny Dude! I may seem partial with my support for Forgiveness, but I'm ain't! Just don't want him to feel bullied and isolated because of his philosophy. (he would surely laugh at this comment)

We can't all be on the same page - but my concern is; this thread shouldn't be turned to Politics Section. Maybe I missed, but I'm kinda convinced this is the first time you are engaging in E-Confrontation. LOL!

I think we should return normalcy back to the thread ASAP! We have few Days left to the Algeria Match, Rohr is kinda disappointed that the Thread was derailed.

Rohr is waiting for us to start recommending Players based on Merit. Forgiveness shouldn't be feeding us with craps! LOL!

I enjoin all aggrieved Parties to sheath their swords...... it's time to start discussing Algeria Match in proper!

Same goes for system players. Guardiola spent his time trimming his squad because he wants players that suit his philosophy. Players that will make the team work as a single unit.

We have coaches across the globe who work with quick thinking players. We have a brilliant export in Mikel who relies more on quick thinking and intelligent movement over sublime skills. He is one of the most achieving African players.

That is why we need to support these brilliant youngsters. They will become assets to teams that need their kind.

Generals03:



I disagree sir.

Passing, marking and other basics actually belong to average players.


Consistently beating your markers, dribbling, laying killer passes, shooting accuracy etc belongs to the talented pool. You cannot do these things except you have it in built in you. Talent makes a player exceptional. It makes hin consistently do beyond the basics.

Generals03:


At the U17 level should it be about the coaches' philosophy or scouting/producing serious 'talents' for the country?

Two wrongs don't make a right. Bleep Nedum and his sudden romance and love for our national team. Bleep Sola Ameobi too for playing with our intelligence and making us look like fools. Some sins are unforgivable, this is one of them. No matter the dearth of RB in d SE now and how dire we need a proven RB, I would rather use a makeshift or call up young Tyronne and Ebuehi than turn to that sell out from Nkpa abi Ovim called Nedum. Bleep him and his SE dream. He sees us as mediocre he can take for a ride since his English quest has fallen through. We shouldn't belittle our SE biko.

terzurum5:

Wait oooooooh. Has any one heard about Shops Ameobi's younger brother? It's been a while I read about him.

tbaba1234:
The player's rebellion to get Rajevac fired is wrong. The man was new to the team and needed a little time. Now they will start afresh. Hopefully, Nigeria takes advantage.

Mickael2:


remember I said knowing when to do which is important, more important in fact. you have to learn somewhere, if from a tender age I know how to pass, mark and shoot then that means I have the talent there, now.if you take up that talent you can then teach me other peripherals, remember we are talking about the under 17 here, do you know that a team made up of people who know how to pass well and shoot well and mark well will absolutely destroy a team made up up of.dribbles. knowing how to pass, shoot and mark is the basic talent from which other attributes of.soccer can be learnt

TheGoodJoe:


These are serious, important talents. Not just show boaters but players who understand the ideals of team-work and coherency.
