Joebie:Pls what can u say on Omeruo rating coz ANZ said he was sluggish and still get good rating even better than Ekong. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 10:26am On Oct 26, 2017 |
His sluggishness was as regards the goals they conceded. However, his tackles, clearances and interceptions scored him points. Modified And it does not necessarily mean Omeruo did better than Ekong. Two different matches, different scenarios. The attacking threat Ekong faced MAY not have necessitated him having that much tackles, clearances and interceptions. The comparison will be only fair if they are both teammates as Center Backs and played in the same match. So yes, Omeruo had a a higher rating, but his rating is not relative to Ekong's or any other player's for that matter who played in a different match. Kog45: |

Joebie:not really comparing his performance with Ekong,I just need clarification on word sluggish |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 10:43am On Oct 26, 2017 |
Well Omeruo should have done better as regards the goals Kasimpasa conceded. One of them was a corner, where he did not react quickly to stay with his man. In the build up to the other goal, he wasn't sharp in marking, he was bullied into allowing a cross evade him. Kog45: |

Joebie:Are u saying whoscored's rating doesn't matter coz they normally have team of d week and with this rating i thought Omeruo get better chance than Ekong in team of d week with d ratings,just asking |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 11:01am On Oct 26, 2017 |
Statistically yes. I Want to believe whoscored has a way of scoring based on the many aspects of the game. But it does not ALWAYS apply in reality. Which is why Goal's team of the week for example will have some differences. So to some extent it is subjective. Another statistical website may use different ways of scoring. But on the whole, there will be similarities between them. Consider this example, I as a striker score 5 goals against a team that has a whack defense, I'm more likely to make the team of the week, than say Kayode who performed very well against a very strong opposition, but didn't score.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 11:05am On Oct 26, 2017 |
And even if Kayode scored, I still have a stronger chance making the team of the week. So I want to think the statistics wont consider those outside variables. So the player of the week is not necessarily the best player of that week, but the best player statistically. @ kog45 |

Kog45: You are right, Leicester is different from the national team, Ndidi plays amongst players that he is well better than at Leicester, so it is easy to spot his impressive performance when playing unlike the national team were you have Mikel. Ndidi have also been doing very well for the national team but people are easily more concerned with Mikel's performance, since Ndidi's main role is to shield the defense, a position that doesn't draw much attention. Joebie:@bolded, that wasn't what I meant. My point was the the roles that he will be assigned to play in the midfield is determined by the players that are with him. For instance, in that game against Senegal, when Onazi was removed, then he started springing passes and performing other responsibilities that were expected from Onazi. It has to do with clear definition of roles in the midfield, and the role which he plays will to some extent determine the kind of attention he will get on the football pitch, unless he decides to perform other duties which was not primarily assigned to him. Kog45:It is still on the roles. You know that at that time that Onazi went forward to intercept that ball, Mikel withdrew deeper into the midfield to cover for Onazi, hence there was a fleeting exchange of roles. That is football. |

Kog45:I hear cranks in that Mikel - Onazi - Ndidi combo and this is not a criticism of any of the players mentioned but there's just something not well oiled about their combination. I'd love to see what Iwobi - Mikel - Ndidi would feel like. Ndidi /Ogu can sub Mikel and Etebo can sub Iwobi. Agbo/Agu can sub Onazi. |

Mujtahida:Rohr w not touch that combo for now coz they have not let him down. Honestly i want to see Ndidi-Mikel-Iwobj and see how things goes in d midfield. But so far Ndidi-Onazi-Mikel are doing well. |

Right.. Yes rating does it. And I don't necessarily have to be the better striker. When a player makes the team of the week, a number of times then there's got to be something special about that player -- indirectly, in the long run, the opposition factor comes into play. Kog45: |

permit me to share this story here. So during the weekend I decided to go train with a grassroot football side in my neighborhood, I used to a top athlete who played football for my university and Nysc too. coincidentally some scouts came watching and one of them approached me after the match and introduced himself and asked for my contact which I obliged him. Fast forward to yesterday i received a call for him, I was glad thinking he wanted to offer me a job (I am seeking for one), but no ! he was offering to sign me up with a top club at Belgium(Name withheld) and said the stipulated age range was 16-19 years. I told him it was mouth watering but I couldn't agree to it because I am above the age bracket stipulated, to my surprise he said that wasn't an issue, and he had the resources to get me a new birth certificate and beat medical screenings (those arguing about MRI take note). I refused and made it clear to him I will never be a party to such arrangements even if the system allows such. he man sha drop me 20k hoping I will change my mind Age cheating is a cancer in every sector of the nation. public service, sports and alot more. I lost out of lucrative deal but feel proud at the end. At least I get to sleep well at night 4 Likes 1 Share |

Kalapizim: Seriously, reading things like this make me so sad. So much corruption in the land. Everything is so easy to get. Birth certificate, passport, .. It is just ridiculous. Many clubs look for grassroot players instead of league players If you are 18 and well developed, you will fail an MRI test. There might be other medical tests that they can get around thogh 1 Like |
