Mickael2:
So Nacho left the game and Leicester actually started looking like a decent side but we all want to believe that it is Leicester that makes Nacho look bad? I mean I am a Nigerian, Arise O Compatriots and all that crap but this? This is pure BS. Nacho won't be starting the next game and I wouldn't blame the coach, he simply did not take this chance.


And oh, throwing tatrums at your teammates when you are not playing well won't help either

EmmGee:

when nacho was in. The whole team were terrible in possession. It was like they didn't know what to do. Then the coach made a tactical change by introducing a crosser and a header.

The team then had a plan in mind. And it was the substitutes that did exactly what they were brought on for.

Lester a too conservative and if nacho should thrive, he must alter his game pattern and learn to drop deep to collect the ball and burst forward.
there were about two situations where he did that.

Mickael2:



he didn't learn anything so yes. TheGoodJoe will probably come and write an epistle about how his stamina, pace, pressing and build up play has increased to the heavens but the fact is he learnt nothing. He is at that age where he needs to do all the learning he can, three or four years from now he won't be able to learn to jump properly if he doesn't do that now

Icon4s:


I couldn't watch the game.

Was he that bad today?

Mickael2:


I'd rate him a little above 4.5 if I am being fair and that is because I am putting into consideration the fact that he was playing against taller opponents, that bad yes. He was average on rare occasions, hardly had any meaningful input in the game, complete with a yellow card

Icon4s:


Was he played as a number 10 or an SS?

Exactly,drop deep, help in build-ups and stop waiting for those final balls.

Throwback- Even page 2000 go reach before christmas.

some had faith, some rightfully angry. page 0-5 will make most of us on here to laugh, smh, be shocked at ourselves.

Mickael2:


Na Forgiveness I use enter the thread, just went through the first few pages now. It seems so long ago

EEGA:

EEGA:
Nice,he got his chance against SA to claim the Super Eagles no 9 but failed to do so.Had it been he scored just a goal,he would have displaced Nacho.

What the Super Eagles need is a 9 who must score in every game.

He needs to start scoring for Girona to make the WC list just as Iheanacho needs to start scoring for Leicester to reclaim his no 9 position.

forgiveness:


If they tell you Kelechi Iheanacho will score more goals than Kane, do you think it is dilution grandeur?

If they tell you Tammy Abraham will score more goals than Onyekuru is it illusion?


Are you wishing Sadiq bad luck because you prefer another player?

Icon4s:


May be Fashanu thought the likes of Yakubu, Martins, Osaze and ike Uche are still in the Super Eagles.

Dedebanky85:
What buildup are we even talking about? Is it the one where his touches and ball control can't even be in sync with the way he runs. His ball control is becoming heavier by the day. I don't even know who to complain about. I don't think Vardy and Iheanacho can play together. They were making similar runs today. I was happy when I saw a Spaniard, Iborra, in the MF, but that one self has been demonized by the uncultured passing at Liecester. Iheanacho would now be under immense pressure to score and I hope that does not affect him.

Mujtahida:

I sent an email to them concerning what I felt regarding fabrication of News and they responded. They clarified things though not entirely satisfactory but I was a bit pleased that they responded cos I thought and expected them not to but they did.

Kog45:
Sorry o am not getting your point

My own point of view is totally different from yours,my view on grassroots development does not negates adding good foreign born players to d team.

Am looking to a stage where we w not care whether u play for us or not and it can only happen if we get things right from grassroots.

Diego Costa is a Brazilian but playing for Spain,i don't think Brazil care about him,Owen Hargreaves has every right to play for Germany but when he opted for England do they care,David Trezeguets opted for France instead of Argentina but Argentines did not make any fuss about it.

My point is simple I want Nigeria to reach d level of football development where we w not care about players born by Nigerian parents playing for another country unless they are Messi or Ronaldo.

Pls read my comment very well and try to understand, may be from where i comment on Onigbinde post.

goldfish80:


You're are talking about Alaba in retrospect and with the benefit of hindsight.
If you were in position to select U17 players for the World Cup, will you have honestly in good faith selected a 14yr old playing for his local team in Aspen to represent Nigeria at the time? Recall, we have always won the U17 world cup with homegrown players.

soetanoreoluwa:


I'm just tired of Owngoal... To be candid... They write in the name of writing...

krattoss:
It's only ndidi I see making a good transfer out of that Leicester team come next season...

All of em are going to accept pay cut to stay at the championship next season with that team cos all of them are shitty

TheGoodJoe:


I really do. Wish him the best.

Mickael2:
Mikel Agu scores.

Interesting Ekong is the ball player in a 3man backline and he hasn't been bad

Icon4s:


To assess them closely. So Rohr has sacked his video analyst that you had always been talking about here?

Tell me whether the likes of Brazil, Germany, England , Spain , France will invite 100+ players for camping.

Talking about Mourinho's tactics at Anfield, was that how Mourinho has been setting up his team against other opponents? I have always told you a team must not play attacking football all the time. There are some games you just adopt a cautious approach with the aim of not losing even if you don't win.

Anfield is a place where you visit and expect Liverpool to come all over you. The best approach here is to sit back, absorb the pressure and hit them on the counter.

The Manunited result at Anfield is a good one.

That was how the other day you said Nigeria has the talent to match Brazil. I just dey look you.
