I sight you Sir....

TheSuperNerd:
They are not too much joor...... abeg Chief... free me to express myself sincerely biko... Hapum aka.... looollll


Ehen..... back to matter...

On Ademola Lookman, he has not faded oooo.... he is still in the picture.... lad is still young naa and is being introduced gradually at Everton... Koeman and Everton believe in youngsters...I believe Lookman will get his big break, bigger than his debut... but for now, they are just taking it easy with the boy...

But I get your point shaa....

Icon4s:


Is that all you've got to say ma?

Ok. Let me not distract you. Probably you are attending to a patient. lol.

But dnt forgot to check on us once in a while.

Icon4s:


That is also my point. lets allow some of these young players develop. Except those ones we fear we may lose to other countries if not capped early.

terzurum5:

Between Iwobi and Sone, who would you love to play against Cameroun

Icon4s:


I agree with you. But can you suggest one number 9 for us?

Humility017:

the 9 I have in mind is Tammy...but I am not sure if we gonna get him easily...
so let's make use of kayode for the Cameroon tie. the guy has stamina and physique...
he can live up some of our expectations
still believe iwobi can play the physical taste of Africa football should he be deploy to the middle not the flanks...he should play as 10 definitely as sub
the guy good at giving some dangerous passea

Icon4s:


Did they not win games to secure qualification to the Euros and did dey nt prove their top 10 ranking by finishing in top 4 in the Euros?

You still have to win matches to climb up the FIFA ranking.

You can believe whatever you want.

komekn:


If Anichebe get a run of games and shows his class then he is in and the big ask, if he can stay injury free

TheSuperNerd:
Lookman falls into the Group you just described....

Icon4s:
Kog45, you just took me back memory lane with that mention of Seoul '88 team. A team that had players like: Chidi Nwanu, Austin Eguavoen, Silvanus Okpala, Ademola Adeshina, Emeka Ezeugo, Samuel Okwaraji, Osaro Obobaifo, Dominic Iorfa, Andrew Uweh, Samson Siasia, Rashidi Yekini among others. And got trashed by Brazil, Yugoslavia and Australia. What really went wrong I cant fathom till date.

In ur opinion what really went wrong with that stars studded team?

komekn:

Hanibal:

And man city will probably still qualify for champions league through play off this season, lost out to Monaco in the quarter finals, Aguero more work rate, less goals I don't see that as an improvement for a striker. Sterling has improved from last season?... I guess only you can see that. Iheanacho who was highly rated last season has now been rendered so useless he can't even make a match day squad. He sent Joe Hart packing, bought Bravo because he has this "brilliant" idea of a goal keeper... Can you count the number of goals city has conceded this season through goal keeper error?.
I don't see the point in holding the ball brilliantly if you can't win games. Any idiot can hold the ball.. Win the damn game!!
Pellegrini finished fourth, Guardiola will finish fourth... I don't see any improvement in that.
Conte is improving Chelsea and getting results at the same time... That's brilliance.

TheSuperNerd:
Anichebe is also an option for me..... for the Cameroon games.

krattoss:
spare me that please.. Pep is performing below average considering the fact how much he was giving for transfer markets..he has gotten all he asked for financially.. Tell me one reason he should go trophy less considering the amount of resources at his disposal..not only is he going trophy less, he is also on the verge of loosing out on the champions league spot..
And you call that development..
And what will you call jurgen klopps handwork on Liverpool? Or leicesters resurgence?
With low budget,they still get their team up front..that's what I call development..

The thing is GUARDIOLA is still driven by the euphoria he is still in the laliga or bundesliga where he has little or no competition.. The sooner he learns he is in EPL where no one cares whose ox is gored..the better for him

Rohr Reveals Plans For China Based Eagles Stars For AFCON & World Cup Qualifiers



The plans to keep Super Eagles players plying their trade in China fit for Nigeria’s next competitive game against South Africa in the AFCON 2019 qualifiers has been revealed by coach of the team Gernot Rohr.


There has been doubts surrounding the future of the trio of captain John Obi Mikel, Odion Ighalo and Brown Ideye who all moved to China but Rohr was quick in dispelling such thoughts when it cropped up months ago.


Rohr left them out of the Eagles last friendly game against Senegal as they were still settling at their base in China, but the coach has now hinted on how he plans to integrate them into his squad for the South Africa game, which comes up on June 10.


”They (players) need to work hard, we have two and a half weeks to prepare for South Africa after which we will play another friendly game to accommodate some other players, who will be ending their season in June, especially the players playing in China.


”It’s not going to be easy for them to come from China on June 5, there is going to be a lot of difference and a bit difficult, but we have a good programme to prepare everybody for that important South Africa, and the next World Cup qualifier against Cameroon”, he told Owngoalnigeria.com correspondent Osas Mahawi.

Forgiveness is right. At the momet Dele Alli is better than Iheanacho. Haba! Dnt u watch Spurs matches? Dele is a more complete player abeg.

Kog45:
Yea good team just like Chile 87 but a lot went wronged before d tournament,if u remember serious crisis between d coach and some players in d team.

Humility017:

nacho is becoming match rusty..
hopefully the few weeks camping in France come true..I believe it will help reshape him
it's painful see him warming city bench...
but sir goodjoe still believes he is undergoing drills...
drills my foot.

Humility017:


ever since pep took over city I lost interest in their matches being that nacho won't get to play...

city was a team that perfectly suits nacho considering he his an attacking minded player
I still believe pep is getting away with this maltreatment because nacho is not English player...he won't dare treat a 3 lions prospect that way

TheGoodJoe:


Iheanacho would have done more with playing time. You did not disprove that.

Icon4s:


One week to that game and he is ruled out again for another 12weeks. Abeg a take God beg una. Make una leave that guy. He is nt even interested any more after what happened to him in Kigali and the NFF abandoned him to his club to take care of him.

But guys, we are making one wrong assumption about this Cameroun game. That the only way to beat them is to field physical players.

In the defense yes. But in the forwards position we need players who are intelligent, skillful and can read the game well. We need Mikel in that AM position.

And Iwobi and Victor Moses are my first choice wingers. If these 3 players switch-on on match day there is no way Iheanacho would not have a good game and Cameroun fit chop up to 3-0 in Uyo.

TheGoodJoe:


Iheanacho would have done more with playing time. You did not disprove that.

TheSuperNerd:
Loll.... Iheanacho will definitely lead the attack that day naa.... I just said as an option naa.... abi make we no look options again? looolll


And noooo.... I have said it before many pages back that the camerounians struggle against fast paced possessive teams who have highly gifted/super technical players in the final third...

We have the flair and bad-ass skills.. and we must use it against Cameroun.... but we must add some steel too.... so it is not all physical for me... but a mix of both physical and Technical abilities... for we know not from where the moments of brilliance may come from on matchday....


So bringing up Anichebe is just to expand our options....

BascoVanVeli:


Ok so now u look for playing time to save u eh? Why didn't u say Iheanacho is better at drills?

Icon4s:


But forgiveness, na true say u go burry TheSuperNerd if he choses to drop Kayode for Onyekuru? Hahahaha.
