BELGIUM: Jupiler League - Round 9 Brugge 2-1 Gent (FT) Nigerian trio succumb to Jupiler League leaders. Dennis Emmanuel Bonaventure struck in the 15th minute to put Brugge ahead. Dennis now has 8 goals for Brugge, since joining them this season. 5 of which are Jupiler league goals. 2 scored in the Belgian Cup, and 1 in the UEFA Champions league qualifiers. Anderson Esiti, Moses Simon, and Samuel Kalu all played a part in the away loss Club Brugge Super Eagles reject, Esiti, was on from start to finish, and was shown a yellow in the 36th minute However, Simon and Kalu did not put in a full shift, as Simon coincidentally made way for Kalu after 75 minutes. Anderlecht 1-0 Standard Liege (90 minutes played) Onyekuru (Anderlecht) seems to have just scored the match winner before the dot of time. Let's see how it turns out. Onyekuru have been cautioned in the process of celebrating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpA_fSLgi_M Uche Agbo (Liege) also have been on since the start of the match. he picked up a yellow in the 49th 3 Likes |

komekn: in the last ten years we have had 4 teams winning the Epl, 3 have won nine. In the last ten years, we have had three teams winning the bundesliga, pretty much the same with the Epl. Among the Epl top4 I am pretty sure I can tell you that Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham won't win the league and they won't. I can even go as far as telling you that once Manu starts meeting tough opposition they too will crumble making it a two horse race. For the past 4 years the Epl has been won with atleast 3matches left to play. 4 Likes |

edi287: Some of those guys you mentioned are not DM's. Someone like Alonso is a registre, he played thrived when someone else does the dirty job (Vidal, Mascherano). Pirlo had Gattuso, Pogba, Vidal. Toni Kross is a CM Now, let me ask, who does the dirty job for Mikel at Chelsea? If you can't name a DM who have been listed top 3 in Ballon d'Or listing the it should indicate to you that the position is not where to you find theost technical players. |

TheGoodJoe: Of course Zidane will be rattled when Makelele left. Durring the era of galacticos, they were notorious for not running or marking the ball. Everybody was Oga, nobody wants to do the dirty job for the other person. In such circumstance, why won't Zidane complain when Perez sold the only guy willing to do the dirty job for others (him)? |

Joebie:Truly not even on standby due to a slow start in d league,i wish he rediscover his form and fight for a place in d team. Honestly seeing Felix Uduokhai in action,something tells me d guy w be a good bargain for Eagles ,hope Rohr do needful on d guy. On Tournarigba Jordan i don't think NFF or Rohr have made any move except media speculations,though i read where is Dad Ojokojo Tournarigba said he prefer his son to play for Germany which is unfortunate coz Ojokojo was a thorough home bred that played in Nigeria local league and very popular with shooting star. I don't know much about Irofa but I expect his Dad to have great influence on him being an ex international but nothing is coming from old Irofa Kudos must be given to parents of Iwobi,Aina,Ebuhei, Ekong for having great influence on d their children not Irofa and Ojokojo who are home grown ex player and we are finding it difficult to have their son committing to Nigeria. 1 Like |

goldfish80: That is why it was key to the team. Hierro referred to Makalele as the best player. He said, they all knew. That is those praised knew Makalele was the best. Zidane tagged Makalele the engine. The role is underrated but key. Just as how De Bruyne, Sane and Sterling will get rave of praises but behind them, Fernandinho has been the engine driving the team. Just like Oliseh was not getting the praises like Kanu, Okocha, Ikpeba and co. without Oliseh, the team always had a big hole. |

Kog45:I believe he was not properly managed by his agent Shittu. I have seen players sign contracts with the caveat they won't be demoted to the reserves, they won't be played out of position and so many other like clauses. Oxlade Chamberlain left Arsenal not because of playing time but because of position. If his managers were really up and doing, they would have looked for solutions back in 2007 in his formative years, at the time it was clear he had no room playing further up the pitch for Chelsea. Maybe if he had been developed properly, he could have been in a position where nobody will doubt his world class or legendary status like Yaya Toure. |

goldfish80:Lothar Matthaus won the Ballon D'Or as a sweeper/defensive midfielder. Mikel wasn't really much of a destroyer. He was a Regista...I think there was a time Ancelotti or someone compared him to Pirlo. Besides, Mikel did play alongside Essien at times and let's not act like peak Lampard was all about goals. Busquets alone should be a great example of a DM with great technical ability. |

I sha have exams too so I won't come but the thing is that such an event should go ahead even if everybody won't attend, the first they say is always the eye-opener. If we can host the first one well enough(even if it's just 10 persons) then the subsequent ones will be a lot better |

somehow:Bar the Victor moses' free kick that was wrongly disqualified for offside, the last time the super eagles converted a free kick chance was moses Simon against Cameroon. During oliseh's era, Simon was shouldered with that responsibility and he did well. If I'm correct, he's gent's free kick taker. I'd give him that role if I were the coach. 4 Likes |

goldfish80: It is a position which has to do with a lot of intelligence, ball reading ability and also help recycle attacks of opponents into attacks of his team. It does not mean the player lacks ability. Mikel is a good example of a gifted player who thrived in a deep shield role. It also takes a lot of sacrifice. Saying just bully shows you are yet to grasps th genius of the role. Mascherano is more than just a bully. Same goes to Mikel and Matic. Reminds me of our 2000 Olympics boys who were happy when Azubike Oliseh got dismissed. They did not understand the stability the young Oliseh Junior brought to the side. They marched up to the Chileans in the second round and got destroyed, conceding four. |

goldfish80: Did Yaya Toure not play the four role and did not look magnificent? When he got the liberty to show his stuff, he performed brilliantly. Does it mean playing there meant he lacked creative ability? When Keshi gave Mikel the license, he also flourished in the AFCON and was the supernova of the tournament. It is not paper over cracks but your lack of understanding of the genius of the role. |
