BascoVanVeli: He lost possession but there was plenty of opportunities for his teammates to recover. And his deflected header led to the 3rd goal. Based on stats, he was the third best player on the pitch and still put in 5 tackles. That is still a pretty high return.. 4 Likes |

tbaba1234: Correction, he already is world class. I don't know the game that some of us watched, but if it was this particular game, the lad was brilliant, not outstanding but brilliant. He lost the ball sparingly and yet people complain, me I don't know what else to say 3 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: When I talk about English football corruption it's sometimes a lot more sophisticated than just out right bribery. There are a whole range of issues conflicted interests, protectionism, preferred agents, backhanders, etc, etc I consider racism and undue favoritism as forms of corruption. But when we come to Nigeria I don't have to tell anyone one here what is possible and what is generally obtainable. There is no need. With regards to Iwobi being overlooked that is not surprising, I believe that Iwobi is an excellent player but I also recognised that we rate him far higher than the English selectors do. 1 Like |

edi287:Oh please. You kept quiet when players from backward leagues like South Africa, Bosnia and Cyrus are invited but you think MLS is not deserving. You believe a player who has not tasted professional league action is more deserving than one of MLS top scorers? Even Brazil has invited players from MLS before. Mexico, US, Uruguay, Columbia have got players in the league that Adi outperforms. 5 Likes |

joseph1013:Adi is not better than Nacho, Ighalo, Ideye, Kayode heck even Aaron Samuel. This is the same Adi who was invited against Egypt and didn't even make the matchday squad because he was horrible at training. Adi is just decent at best. I stand by that. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by joseph1013: 9:01pm On Mar 04, 2017 |
edi287:He was horrible, says who? What's your source? I can see all the people you listed but that's you changing the goal post. What brought about this discussion is if it makes sense to call up Osimhen, who has not played a professional game, instead of a top scorer in MLS? All these other names you're calling, I've never argued for them not to be called instead of Osimhen at this time, so you can't drag me into that debate. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by edi287: 9:07pm On Mar 04, 2017 |
joseph1013:Osimhen is a young prospect being groomed. We already have experienced players. If you're complaining of him being called, you should be calling Kayode who's played and scored in the europa league and has been doing well and not Adi. There's nothing to see with Adi Here is the article...I believe this was discussed on here sometime ago http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/03/30/eagles-coaches-regret-dropping-home-base-players-for-adi-and-samuel/ 1 Like |

I didn't watch the Liverpool vs Arsenal game so I can't give a detailed analysis of Iwobi's performance. However, from the game stats, Iwobi attempted 31 passes, 30 of those passes were accurate. Quite a remarkable data in my opinion. 1 Like |

ChrisKels: Onyekuru played as a striker in the first half and showed some nice touches and beautiful runs but his team were outplayed. In the second half, Sylla was brought on and Onyekuru played from the wings. Samuel Kalu very skillful and dangerous all through.. Potential world class player. Honestly, I think he is better than Simon Moses. 3 Likes |

joseph1013: Osimhen is in the first team of Wolfburg, Do you think Adi can make the first team of Wolfburg? Same argument against some home based strikers, would they make Wolfburg first team? Wolfsburg have three strikers in their first team Mario Gomez Borja Mayoral Victor Osimhen Osimhen is just coming back from injury and will get his chances this season. 1 Like |
