how is it bias to you, is it everyday that is Christmas

Bias when they criticise a player harshly and call for his replacement because the midfielders could not deliver any good pass. However, the same people did not criticise another player who could not convert chances given to him.

If that is not bias, what is?

If a player wants the Queen, give him the Queen. If another wants to play for Nigeria, give him Nigeria.

I am okay with the Foreign borns playing for us. It is their right if they want to play for us. I am against trying to convince a player who wants to play for another country to play for us.

Unfortunately, we don't have players capable of that in the present crop.
I think Aina is a good crosser of the ball though.

Jordan Ibe has no relationship with his Nigerian Dad. In fact, he has removed Ibe from the back of his Jersey. Nigeria made an offer for him but given his background where the father was not there, you can imagine that the connection was not there.

On Tammy issue, we put the boy in a PR nightmare by releasing information too early. When Nigeria invited Iwobi, The England FA tried their best to make sure, he stays up to the last minute. They offered him an under 21 invite.

But is Dominic Iorfa really good enough? Is he good enough to displace Shehu or Ola Aina? But I know that he can play CB as well. He may probably deputize Ekong and Balogun at CB if we get him but I just don't know his current quality.

I mean, he played well the few times I had watched him but I can't understand why Wolves loaned him out to lowly Ipswich.


O pari

komekn:


Moses is out of the equation he has not recovered and has been overtaken by huge margin by the best RB in the championship Ola Aina.

Dominic Iorfa is ready to play for Nigeria we just need to stop inviting him on the pages of newspapers and make a formal invitation.

I will add to that Seyi Ojo Liverpool player on loan at Derby. I willl remind you that a £10 million transfer fee was rejected by Liverpool fc from Newcastle fc. Left sided winger who has blistering pace could easily play left wing back.

I guess like England tried to convince Iwobi to play for them after he'd made up his mind to play for Nigeria abi
"England did contact me recently before I played my first competitive match for Nigeria, asking if I wanted to play for England"- A. Iwobi

The operative word is Duo. Tega is what you get if you were to combine the attributes of KC and Ighalo into one player. Then you get the complete striker it is not a small feat for player to be leading the front line for a premiership team.

In addition he Tega adds an attribute they both lack aerial dominance and heading ability.

Yeah i rem, but not yet common enough to stick to his style like Giroud, Crouch.(both are header hungry) His good positioning gave Onazi no choice than to cross.

When you toast a lady once and she rejects your advances and you toast her again and again, some will call it begging but I trust that making that call again, making that effort again is how a large number of men got their wives and that's how many will still get their wives.

Find a header hungry striker and watch VicMo show you his other side of attack. Musa Mohammed too(u-17 days), but not in the team currently.

What if Moses Odubajo comes back in January?

When Odubajo was fit, he was also the best RB in the Championship.

In recent times, we've not seen our strikers failing to connect with any quality crosses coming in. The supply are always wayward, Simon, Echiejile, Shehu, Musa, even Moses don't like crossing the ball both for Chelsea & Nig, so I can't really tell.

I'm surprised that you left out Ezenwa who has manned the goal post thrice for Alampasu who has not done so even once. What informed such decision on your part?

Ovie Ejaria will be another easy player to get but maybe before the next world cup. He actively follows Nigeria football and likes most NFF posts on social media.

Earlier I had told Tbaba123 that October rankings would be used. However, after looking at the points and performances this last international break I don't think much would change in the rankings. Except maybe France moving into Pot1 and Switzerland dropping to Pot2. So it shouldn't really change much.

Keep in mind he is talking about modern game. Look at Guardiola tinkering with his formations and selections regularly.

That is why I ask him if he is referring to club football where you have more liberty to experiment or make changes because you have a rich pool of players to chose from and also you have so many matches with which to make up in case an experiment turns out bad.
