Guys, i don't doubt the excellence of Victor Moses as a player, but truth be told, I don't think he deserved the BBC award or the CAF award. People bring up the argument that he won a premier league title but that is where it ends. Looking at his stats, he didn't lead the EPL in tackles won or even in assists. I have also noted and told whoever cares to listen that he needs to improve on his crossing. That aspect of his game is particularly very poor. Even Kyle walker that doesn"t play as a wing bank but a full back has way better crossing abilities than Vic Moses. Once that part of his game improves, we should see his assists improve. Especially with a target man like Morata who is very good in the air. 1 Like |

I just noticed something watching Aina in the matches against Argentina and Algeria: he's very very casual. His body language doesn't speak intensity. I might be wrong but that's what I just observed. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Iwobi More Valuable Than Arsenal Stars Ozil, Walcott, Welbeck, Ramsey & Wilshere allnigeriasoccer.com Dec 19, 2017 8:40 AM Iwobi More Valuable Than Arsenal Stars Ozil, Walcott, Welbeck, Ramsey & Wilshere Alex Iwobi is more valuable than several established internationals in the Arsenal squad, with the Nigeria international ranked the sixth most expensive player by CIES Football Observatory. Only Alexandre Lacazette, Granit Xhaka, Hector Bellerin, Alexis Sanchez and Shkodran Mustafi cost more than the Super Eagles star at the moment. At a cost of €99.2m, Frenchman Lacazette is the most expensive player at the Emirates outfit, followed by Xhaka (€69.2m) and Hector Bellerin (€66.8m), while Iwobi is valued at €31.5m. Iwobi ranked higher than England stars Theo Walcott (€15.6m), Danny Welbeck (€13.7m) and Jack Wilshere (€5m). 2014 German World Cup star Mesut Ozil, who is valued at €30.3m, is less expensive than Iwobi as his contract is due to run out at the end of this season whereas the Nigerian has more than three years remaining on his deal. Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey have a market value of €16.4m and €15m respectively, while Chuba Akpom will cost €2.8m. |

Kog45:this is a needless and inadvertent comment. I did not compare the proficiency of both goalkeepers which you are just needlessly trying to counter. If I say Mr A does not have the same weakness as Mr B, does that mean that I'm saying that Mr A is better than Mr B? of course not! I only pointed to the fact Uzoho will not concede some of the goals that Enyeama would concede (and vice versa) because there are disparities in their weakness(es) and strength(s). You saying that I was comparing both of them to rate Uzoho better is untrue. 2 Likes |

Joebie:Solanke's case is similar to the Buy One Get One Free tactic, the English FA were moving for Tammy solely, then someone in the FA must have said " Ay mait, what say we swoop in for that other Nigerian lad, what's his name?" Komekn from the background ![]() "Yeah, that one. Been all over the Nigerian media too, we're going for Tammy, might as well cut them off on two sides" Southgate "I don't think I need Solanke on my team" "He doesn't have to be on your team, we just don't want either of them on the Nigerian team. Those bloody bastards got three of our guys already" he takes a bite from his muffin ![]() And so, the regretful Solanke call-up happened.

elyte89:You are trying to bring in an entirely new and different point to what I have said. Everybody knows that goalkeepers sometimes have bad days that they can even concede goals that no one who have thought that they would concede even if the scorer somehow played to their strengths. that is an entirely different point that doesn't relate to what I said. Even great strikers sometimes misses some clear cut chances that no one who have thought that they would miss. They just happen on some “bad days” for them, and it has nothing to do with their strengths and weaknesses. |

Questence:Moses was fantastic in 2016/2017 season and was key to chelsea's new daring formation that saw them win the league. Moses was also key to Nigeria's qualification for the world cup, so l would say he deserves to be in the top three ahead of Abumeyang at least, but then looking at Asissat Oshoala in the women's category for instance and then comparing her to the South African Kgatlana, l now understand the sentiments involved in these awards, Abumeyang was already rated amongst the thirty best players in the World, thus there was no way Moses could be ahead of him in the CAF award, Similarly Oshoala has been rated no 61 in the world amongst the top 100 women footballers, and so it would hardly be surprising if she goes on to win the CAF award even though she hasn't played a game for Nigeria this year and Kgatlana have been outstanding for South Africa. ln summary, l would place Moses ahead of Abumeyang for the 2016/2017 award, especially for his contributions to Nigeria, but just as it is with Oshoala/Kgatlana, Abumeyang is a more established star with higher ratings worldwide already. 1 Like |

goldfish80: Oh yea brain fart, I think I was so angry that Moses didn't make the team that I forgot Mane was even on there, but wow guy u could have just told me he was instead of posting the thing like this wins u the argument. Being on the PFA is not water in a desert guys should have to prove themselves on the continent, I rate Victor Moses as the best performer in the continent. I don't see how somebody can win the biggest league trophy on earth and then come back and destroy the defending champions and still not get shortlisted. If those guys are so good how come between them they had no trophies last season. |

Icon79:My man that's the EPL team of the year list so no debate. I can only make case for Aguero but not forgetting that Lukaku had a great season with average Everton.Last season was awesome for Dele Ali and better than DeBryune.Nobody would picked Alex Sanchez over Harry Kane.Cahil was all there doing it for Chelsea. On Vic Moses he had a better player in that position in Kyle Walker who had a great season with Tottenham that made Pep to splash cash on him. |
