plx rewatch d olympics(d game against germany) and tell me if mikel cannot play amf he is very creative and not stingy

Mickael2:


Against Germany? That wasn't his best game. He can play the AMF, but not as good as Alli CURRENTLY!

Lazyerudite:
Hmmmm, Dele Alli sha, just to prove a point someone is comparing Dele Alli and Mikel Person wey cause fight between Chelsea and Man Utd, against someone who is yet to win anything. I refuse to be drawn into such arguements. Soon they will start comparing Alli to iniesta.

pyrex23:

it wasnt his best game buh hw manyy chances did he create wen we were pressing 4 an equaliser

safarigirl:
lol....and may never win anything in his entire footballing career

He's already stuck with a useless international career, hopefully some day, he will get a medal with a club side

SharpJoe:


Alli does not spark creativity. If we are talking creative brilliance, look at Eriksen. Alli is just there.

pyrex23:

we kno mikel played as a dm for chelsea but flourished as an amf for nigeria now who is better handling d amf role dele or mikel?

BascoVanVeli:

It does not look pretty but he scores goals and makes assists alot.

SharpJoe:


If Mikel plays that Alli's role one season at Tottenham, he will do mesmerizing things than what the young man is doing. The Gulf in class is too much.

Humility017:

seriously...it is funny seeing Mikel being compared to alli....both are not mates
Mikel even before 21 already won a medal at under 20 world cup...with many trooping in later as he aged..

safarigirl:
that means they can't even compare him to Kelechi who has a world cuo medal

TheSuperNerd:
oooppss.... published same video.... lemme drop a different one altogether.....

SharpJoe:


Where you missing me? I was replying someone who quoted me and posted a comment. Should I gist with you? Alas Yobo number nine in Nigeria 99.

SharpJoe:


Where did I say Yobo grew straight out of the box a defender? Stop lying with my name. I am warning you.

Drag your ears. I said, I did not know Yobo until Nigeria 99 unlike you who knew him before he left Nigerian Shores.

Rohr goofed with unnecessary Musa humiliation

Gernot Rohr’s decision to not name Ahmed Musa as captain for Nigeria’s game against Senegal was as farcical as it was unnecessary.
There. That needed to be said.

While it is a coach’s prerogative to name who captains his team, it is also worth taking into consideration the circumstances and possible consequences.

Musa is, or was, assistant captain to John Obi Mikel and rightfully should have been named match-day captain in the absence of the former Chelsea man.

The reason is that not doing so raises more issues than it solves. To start with, when Vincent Enyeama retired prematurely from the national team in the wake of his highly-publicised spat with Sunday Oliseh, most of the senior players declined the opportunity to step into the breach. Musa was the only one who agreed to do so.

But within one match of Samson Siasia taking over as Super Eagles coach, and with the dust sufficiently cleared, Musa was deposed.

As a committed, non-confrontational person, Musa accepted the decision in the interest of team unity, and agreed to serve as vice-captain, along with Ogenyi Onazi.

With Mikel excused, Musa acted out the role of captain when the team reported for camp, until Rohr informed him that Onazi would lead the team out for the first game, and Elderson Echiejile would do the honors in the second game [which has since been called off].

Rohr’s explanation, according to a very credible team official, was that he wanted to team to be led out by a player who plays regularly.

Bollocks! Absolute bollocks!

First, if that was his sole reason, why chose to do it on a day in which he started the Leicester forward when he didn’t have to? There were alternatives. Oghenekaro Etebo could have played in midfield with Alex Iwobi starting in his usual wide left position and Moses Simon wide right.

Second, Nigeria have a long history of non-playing captains, going back to Christian Chukwu, Stephen Keshi and, more recently, Nwankwo Kanu and Joseph Yobo.

Keshi, in particular, was a non-playing captain for most of the 1994 Nations Cup and still lifted the trophy, and certainly nobody expected him to play any part of significance at the World Cup months later.

In any case, Must is not the substitute captain, so he could have led the team out, especially sine Rohr chose to start him. This was humiliation for Musa and it need not have happened. Period.

Sources close to Musa said he considered retiring from the national team after the armband was handed over to Mikel, but was talked out of it.

With this latest humiliation, he has decided to save himself from further embarrassment by giving up the entire thing.

It is the wrongest possible way to treat a player who has always put the team first. And, for once, I am not with Rohr. Musa should have been treated better. He has earned the right to be treated better

SharpJoe:


We are not talking of Mikel in respect of versatility but as a creative attack midfielder. I will take him today to play that role for the Super Eagles over Dele Alli.
