hardeycute: I don't need to give you any fact oga about comments I read here from forumites here. Just read backward you will find them. Again, in trying too much to make a point and blur me out as baseless, you ended up making not even a single sense except to showcase your writing skills. Anyway, next time don't be too quick to quote people without reading deeply into their written words. Don't just read with your eyes, read with your mind and learn a thing or two instead of trying to point out faultless faults... Thank you! 1 Like 1 Share |

PurpleHouse:Agreed to what? Baba comprehend !!! Just like some people on this thread thinks he is undeserving of the award likewise the many more of those who abstained or didn't vote for him. Salah has provided the numbers which made to be available for nomination.Support is a little matter to the Egyptians. What is the population of the Egyptian football community to that of Nigeria?If it was a game of numbers The treacherous English media who overhype their players don't become blind by sentiments when it is time to vote for The SportWriters Award and the likes |

I'm still baffled when people dispute the age of Iheanacho who have played in various cadres of the national team (starting from the under 13) but keep sealed lips at the old man facie of players like Ola Aina because he is FB ( just using him as an example) 1 Like |

Nigeria FF boss questions Caf's Awards criteria after Moses snub goal.com Dec 19, 2017 4:30 PM Amaju Pinnick reckons the Super Eagles star performed very well in 2017 and should have made the final cut for the Player of the Year gong Nigerian Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick believes Super Eagles attacker Victor Moses did just enough to deserve a spot on the final shortlist of nominees for the prestigious Caf African Player of the Year award. The Chelsea winger was arguably the biggest of seven casualties as the continental football governing body announced its ultimate category nominees for the awards gala slated for January 4 in Accra on Monday. The winger was seeking to become the first Nigerian to win the top honour since Nwankwo Kanu in 1999, after a largely successful 2017 campaign for club and country. “I’m not happy because I feel that Moses should be part of the last three," Pinnick told Citi Sports. "The only reason why [Riyad] Mahrez won the award last year was because of what he did with Leicester [City]. "And Moses helped Chelsea to win the league; played in the FA Cup final; and helped Nigeria qualify for the World Cup. So I wonder why." Egypt international Mohamed Salah, 2015 winner Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of Gabon and Senegal striker Sadio Mane made the final trio. "I’m surprised. Maybe we should look at other criteria either than coaches who already have their mindset about who they want to vote for," Pinnick added. "Tell me what Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang did last year to deserve a place ahead of Moses. Aubameyang should not be on that list. He’s struggling with [Borussia] Dortmund.” “I am going to send a proposal to CAF for a new idea of selecting the players because certainly I’m not happy." Moses also recently missed out on the BBC African Footballer of the Year award, a gong picked up by Liveroool's Salah. 4 Likes |

Questence: So what were the defenders doing? Funny a Nigerian gets blamed for losing the ball in midfield when balls are lost a lot in midfield. Manchester City took their chance well and the Leicester City defence went to sleep. That is not Iheanacho gifting Manchester City a goal in any way. 10 Likes |

safarigirl: Before you lower the tone of this discourse, let me bring to your notice some of the principles that underpin the nature of football. Firstly, you are only as good as your last game what gives you indisputable quality is continous consistent performances over time. Pep eventually benched and let KC go because he was simply not as good as Aguero, Gabriel, Sana and Raheem only the best will do for Pep no second best. He Pep has been vindicated. When Demarai Grey was forgotten and left out by Shakespeare he knuckled down and kept working. New manager and new opportunity and in his first game he was overwhelmingly outstanding and very rightly got the MOTM. He is now one of the first names on the team sheet. KC has had enough opportunities but he has failed to step up. When a club like Leicester pay near £30 million pounds for a striker to lead the attack. You are not a youth player you must hit the ground running NO EXCUSES. As it is you are making excuses for the inexcusable, I know you are very emotive but objectivity is required here not just blind support. |

komekn: Lots of players have rough patches. A player is as good as his career. Not his last game. Iheanacho showed zeal and hardwork today. That is what is required for him. There is no vindication of Pep. He wanted more from Nacho but Nacho felt a move is a better choice. Not vindication. Nacho will get more chances to prove himself in the future. Judge him after his career. Not in the early stage of it. 7 Likes |

Bro, I didn't mean to be rude. I just don't like a situation where we always criticize or write off our players because "they are not working hard enough". I mean, how do you know that the only reason why they are not playing is because they are not working hard enough? Take Kelechi, for instance, this young man was getting decent playing in a star studded Mancity team, but went to Leicester City and suddenly can't get playing time any more? There's something wrong with that picture. And like I have always said, sometimes it doesn't always has to do with the player. Romelu Lukaku was riding the pine at Chelsea under Mourinho and had to move to Everton to rehabilitate his game. And guess who came calling? The same Mourihno who had offloaded him at Chelsea! Kevin DeBruyne was offloaded as not being good enough by Mourinho at Chelsea. He went back to Germany for a new start, and today the rest is history. Juan Mata was offloaded from Chelsea by Mourinho ... he went to Man Utd and today he's the mainstay of Mourinho's team! VicMo was technically a journeyman at Chelsea ... going from one loan to the other ... until Antonio Conte came, today we know better. Olivier Giroud is always delivering for Arsene Wenger. But how come that he rarely ever starts a game? And I can go on and on and on with examples, but I am sure that you got the message. There may be so many reasons why someone isn't playing in a team so, sometimes, we need to defer judgment on them. If a coach doesn't believe in you then O pari darkelf: 2 Likes |

komekn: Gray getting left out did not mean he was not quality. Even some chances given to him were not top quality until a shift in the system. Gray kept on working hard and then got his chance. Puel does not seem interested in Nacho, so Nacho needs to keep working hard until he gets a good run of games. Writing Nacho off now is like those who wrote Gray off then. 1 Like |

Good. I am glad you're an NBA fan. Now can you tell me why/how Kobe Bryant only won ONE solitary league MVP when players like Steve Nash (who played during his era) won two league MVPs. Does that make sense to you? What am I trying to say? It becomes a popularity contest anytime you ask for voting in a team sports. This doesn't just only happen in NBA either. It happens in all team sports. Like Gerard Pique said, "If Ballon d'Or is given to the best player in the world, Messi would've been winning it since 2009". O pari goldfish80: |
