We are talking about clubs representing Nigeria on the continent and u are saying I am not a fan smh. Anyways if I say Rivers United was attacked in Sudan and that was the reason they imploded and people call me a supporter of mediocrity and other stuff, that is called taking flack or getting crap. Anyways why are u talking about the clubs when the convo is about Stephen Odey? Just admit u are wrong and stop with the confusion tactics, did I tell u I was losing sleep about being bashed or getting crap? The point is that there was no call for Odey in the national team by then. We are grown ups here if we are going to discuss then let us at least be straight forward.

TBH I will never be impressed with fans who pick and choose when to support their team, I will just leave it at that.

E jor I am wrong about what mbok?

I just pray this is true and the transfer sees the light of day.

Icon79 what say you? grin

Forget our small misunderstanding yesterday nwanne-ukwu (big Bros) Icon79 . I'm so sorry. Happy new year biko jor
That's why I love this thread. We are like a family displaying all the healthy dysfunctions of a good family - we fight, quarel, talk trash, spit venom, curse and rail but the connection is there, the bond stays intact. Reading through the thread a wry smile played on my lips as read the altercation between safarigirl and forgiveness. It's painful but not so much as when as newbie on this thread, I read such bruising verbal jousting between forumites. Then it used to be shocking but now I know better- We are family jare. Fight no good, we don't encourage it but as humans we got edges that. See safarigirl initiating convo with forgiveness and ChrisKels extending his heartfelt apologies to Icon79 after their mud play shows that we've got something good going on here.

As for those who like to Zuga, take ya time ooo. Peacemakers una reward na peace itself. Congo4ka is weird but there's a method to his weirdness though.
You guys made my evening. Cheers all

Just now you don give up@ your last line?

As it stands, I am quite skeptical about our chances in Russia. We cant be heading to the congregation of the best athletes in the world with just 1 in form player (a 20 year old playing for a mid table English club) and expect magic.

Did anyone see the Gernot Rohr super sports interview where he called his players "average players warming the bench in their clubs"?
I read that and felt he was directly responding to the 94/2018 debate we had here last December. Lol

Chei i don't know you are so passionate about Nigeria team,thumb up.

If some are saying they are not expecting much from CHAN team then why are we always attacking Michael2, Komne,goldfish80 and sometimes forgiveness for their critical analysis on super eagles chances at WC.

If we are not expecting much from CHAN team then we should forget SE at WC cos believing in WC team and not CHAN show double standard,then nobody should attack those who are thinking otherwise on our chances at WC.

As a Nigerian is a must to show solidarity with our teams cos the South Americans and Europeans always show that support to their team.


So Collin Udoh that has downplayed his expectations on the team is not passionate, unpatriotic and doesn't show solidarity?

Second of all, so, Ekong, Victor Moses, Ighalo, Mikel, Ogu, Onazi, Awaziem....these ones are not in form? What is your definition of 'in form' exactly?

During that WAFU tournament, i could only find few players with decent quality. Just full of average players and these are supposedly the best in the league. I was fairly impressed with Eneji and Adeleye to an extent.

I hope to see Faleye and Nura in CHAN.




Nothing to inspire excitement.

Even though i am not inspired I will definitely watch all the matches including those of the other countries, like I always do.

They should just package that Nura into the next U17. I hope he passes the MRI though. I am only inspired to watch the upcoming young players. But for all those Osas Okoro, Rabiu Ali and the likes we don see them finish.

anyone who tells you he was great should not be trusted.

Anyone who says he was better than the last time can be taken seriously.

Anyone who tells you he was atrocious, is an Arsenal fan

I will just give you Who scored.... (Below)


From Goal.com, he had three takeons successful, two shots on target and had a decent game no doubt. Nothing overly spectacular but did better than the last time.

Thanks! Still expecting update from his critics.

Have you noticed Iwobi is a big game player?

He does better against the bigger teams as compared to the smaller teams.

Could this probably be linked to the attitude with which he approaches games?

You are right Chief.... He seems to bring his A-game or close to that for the big games. Against same Chelsea this season when he stepped in for Ozil, he was beautiful also. I guess he just underrated Nottingham forest after all. wink

Not downgrading them sir. They don't like to play to their strength rather, they kip playing as if they don't want to make mistakes in order to impress their coaches. Watch the way Iwobi was given misplaced passes nd easily lossing d ball.. same with Mikel wen he was in Chelsea; na so so touch nd pass nd to attack nah problem.


But watch dis guys playing for Nigeria; they don't mind lossing d ball..Vicmo will dribble til he's satisfy before he will pass d ball, Mikel will attack, dribble, display killer passes, guide 3 players nd hit good shots nd even scores. Musa case I no knw weda nah fear abi na curse.. cos im dey spoil ball too much for Gwg. Wrong passes, wrong square play etc. The guy is good but 'fear nd I no wan spoil ball' dey make am play rubbish wel wel.. if to say na Musa get dat ball wei shehu squared played against Zambia, im for just play am go corner or play am Gv keeper for hand.



I want to see these guys doing what they are doing in d Gwg in their club sides too.
Playing as a defensive midfielder is different from playing as a creative midfielder. That is why Mikel Obi can not play the way he plays for the Super Eagles at Chelsea.

Ok,let's say 21yrs instead of 20.[s] He could be slightly more than 21 since he failed M.. [/s]

Ekong in form? With a 6.0 coefficient rating ? Is that a number which defines form?

Victor Moses is under severe threat from Zapata Costa for his Chelsea spot since his unconvincing performances coming back from injury.

The Chinese season was wrapped up late November or thereof. What can you say about the form of Mikel and Odion (there was big fight on the thread before his recall, in a flash he has become the most dependable)

Awaziem started very well in France but he went off boil as the season wore on...

WHo again did you mention?

We can bank on such abilities of his to bring his A game in the WC.
