TheGoodJoe: U said if Nacho trained as a 10 he would never be one of the deadliest finishers in Europe, thus implying that playing as a 9 suddenly made him a great finisher. I am saying he was already one and he could do wat he is doing in Nigeria at Man City. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 12:02am On Oct 26, 2016 |
BascoVanVeli: I said he has that rating because he plays in a position where he gets to use his biggest asset. If he was trained as a ten, he would not have the same amount of opportunities and would not become one of the deadliest strikers. A ten is not a striker, let alone being one of the deadliest. |

TheSuperNerd: Honestly u have said Tap in merchant more than I have and u don't know wat u are talking about wen it comes to the NBA but there is always google and youtube so keep learning, we all start from somewhere so I will never put u down or anything just becos I happen to know more about a particular topic than u, there should be no shame in learning wat u don't know. Learn to live with nicknames it just keeps the flow going. U can't come crying like a kid being picked on just becos the name they gave u doesn't all the way fit u. I'm sorry but that is just childish. Some people would get angry if u call them a nerd no matter how smart they are but that is ur moniker so go figure. 4 Likes |

BascoVanVeli: Lampard scored loads of goals but he is not one of the deadliest strikers ever. So playing as a ten and scoring goals does not make the person one of the deadliest strikers. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by BascoVanVeli(m): 12:27am On Oct 26, 2016 |
TheGoodJoe: U are sticking with the word "striker". Playing 10 won't make him a 9 that is as common sense as it gets but the word u used was "finisher" and Nacho was scoring goals like water before he left Nigeria not as a 9. So stop hyping ur club we all know they got a steal and a gem, just manage him right thats all. |

Na just news I dey post ooo....... *lips sealed* ...................................................................... Ex Blackburn Rovers Nigerian Forward Scores Match Winning Hattrick For German Side Kaiserslautern ![]() Nigerian forward Osayamen Osawe scored a hattrick for German side Kaiserslautern to power them to a 3-0 win over fellow second division side Bochum. Osawe who had a stint at Blackburn Rovers during his formative years, has settled down to life in Germany since moving to the country two years ago. 23 year old Osawe moved to the German second division side this summer from third division side Hallescher on the back of a fine season where he scored 10 goals. Ironically his first set of goals for his new side came against his former side Hallescher FC in a cup game, where he scored a brace but still ended on the losing side as they slump to a 4-3 defeat. His first league goal came against Dynamo Dresden over a month ago, in a game they won 3-0 in front of their fans. Born in England to Nigerian parents, he is eligible to represent Nigeria and England at international level but he is yet to be capped at any level by either nations.

Iwobi played as Arsenal's no.10 (Ozil's role) last night. His finishing was the biggest let-down but certainly it's just one of those days in football. Na this guy finish well against Zambia.... ![]() ....................................................................... Wenger Laments Iwobi’s Poor Finishing After Victory Over Reading In EFL Cup ![]() Manager of Arsenal Arsene Wenger has reacted to his team’s 2-0 win over Reading in the English Football League cup, particularly on the performances of some first team players. Two well taken goals from Alex Oxlade Chamberlain was all the Gunners needed to see off Reading at the Emirates to secure progression to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup. Wenger who fielded a much changed squad, filled with fringe and young players picked from the academy of the club, was full of praises for goal scorer Chamberlain, goalkeeper Damian Martinez and Alex Iwobi. Wenger on Oxlade-Chamberlain: “The quality of his concentration is sharper and more determined. He’s worked a lot and it comes out everyday” Wenger on Martinez: “We have 3 top class GKs & as long as we’re in this competition he knows he gets this game & has something to focus on” Wenger on Iwobi: “What we want from him now is the finishing. He’s too nervous at the moment when he has the possibility to finish.” Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/10/25/wenger-laments-iwobis-poor-finishing-after-victory-over-reading-in-efl-cup/ |

Spanish Court Proposes Two Year Jail Term For Super Eagles And Watford Star Ighalo Over Falsification Of Document ![]() Super Eagles and Watford forward Odion Ighalo could be jailed for two years over falsification of driving documents during his stay in Spain with La-Liga side Granada. Spanish publication, Marca, reports that the provincial district attorney’s office of Granada has requested a two-year prison term and a fine of 3,000 Euros for Ighalo, his ex-Granada teammate, Diego Buonanotte, and 93 others for allegedly bribing their way to pass a driving test. According to the provisional writing of the prosecution, in 2012 and 2013 someone was hired to write the exams for Ighalo and the other accused. After the test was written, the errors made on the sheet were deleted. Investigation further revealed that three syndicates of Íllora (Granada), Mengíbar (Jaén) and Ciudad Real who moved to Granada allegedly recruited students to help write exams for clients who wanted to pass the driving license exams, and were charged between 1,500 and 2,500 Euros. Following the incident, the prosecutor found the Super Eagles striker culpable of the crime of falsifying an official document. Meanwhile, as is the practice, Ighalo may be dragged to appear in court to testify in Granada if an open trial is to be held.

Iwobi Dazzles In Ozil’s Role In Arsenal Win Over Reading, Accepts Criticism Over Poor Shooting Abilities ![]() Arsenal 20 year old Nigerian forward Alex Iwobi was handed a new role by manager Arsene Wenger in Arsenal 2-0 win over Reading in the EFL Cup game at the Emirate Stadium. Iwobi usually deployed on the left by Arsene Wenger, was this time around given a role in the midfield (in the middle as the central AMF). The role that is usually reserve for star midfielder Mesut Ozil. The Nigerian had a first half to forget but recovered brilliantly in the second half, and impressed with neat passes and strong runs which kept the backline of the visitors under pressure. He came close to scoring with a rasping drive from his weaker foot, the left but the strength in the shot brought out a punched save from goalkeeper Omar Al-Habsi. However, he missed a glorious chance to score his first goal of the season, when he horribly miscued a ball that dropped for him in the Reading box, with goalkeeper Al-Habsi in no man’s land. His poor goal return this season was addressed by Wenger during his post match conference, and the striker appears to be in agreement with his manager by posting ” It’s Like I Dunno How To Shoot” on social media platform snapchat Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/10/25/iwobi-dazzles-in-ozils-role-in-arsenal-win-over-reading-accepts-criticism-over-poor-shooting-abilities/ |
