goldfish80: the other day I was watching Roma vs Lazio(?). The type of saves this guy was making was insane, at some point I had to check very well to be sure that what I was watching wasn't a youtube highlight of his best saves, and this guy puts up this performance week in week out 1 Like |

Mickael2: The guy is a gem. A very solid goalkeeper the couple of times I've seen him. His distributions and ball handling is A++. The Italians are specialists in training goalkeepers. I like the idea an Italian is Gk coach designate for the Nigerian team. 3 Likes 1 Share |

mazimee: One thing is for sure, he will go for a hefty sum. Roma made a huge error in judgement selling Salah £40M which was 1/3 his worth. They wont repeat that same error with Allison. Any club wishing to get him,must be willing to pay hefty sum. He's interesting Real Madrid, so I heard. |

goldfish80: Unless Roma could see into the future they wouldn't have imagined Salah being this good. He's has almost doubled his career best. |

BascoVanVeli: It's not a question about hindsight. At the end of the summer transfer window, FHIS stats showed that Mo Salah was the bargain buy of the season. In the report, they wrote that Salah was grossly undervalued. This was around August. We are talking about a transfer window Arsenal agreed to pay £90M for one season wonder Thomas Lemar. |

Mickael2:When Roma said they didn't need Sczezny, who BTW was probably the best keeper in serie A the season before, I thought to myself any goalkeeper that they feel will better Sczezny must be some goalkeeper and boy did Allison turn out to be that keeper. Good enough to keep the supremely good Ederson on the bench says it all. Monchi just moved there so we shouldn't be surprised if Roma keeps unearthing such gems. On another note, having a genius director of football and an outstanding scouting team is the only way the not so wealthy clubs can hope to compete with the insanely wealthy clubs that can afford to draw out their check books at any problem (city spent close to 130 million pounds on fall backs alone last summer) That's the route Arsenal are taking with Mislintat and Sanllehi. 3 Likes |

Echiejile Set For Cercle Brugge Debut In Belgian Second Division Elderson Echiejile will make his official debut for Cercle Brugge KSV on Saturday when they take on Royal Union St Gilloise in a Belgian second division clash at the Roi Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. The 30-year-old Super Eagles defender, who joined Cercle Brugge on a six-month loan deal with an option of an outright buy from AS Monaco, is however hoping for regular playing time at the club to boost his chances of making the squad for the World Cup in Russia. “I joined the club to play regularly nothing more,” Echiejile told CSN. “After recovering from my injury it was not looking like I was going to get a chance to prove myself in the team (Sivasspor where he was on loan). “So I had to move to stay competitive for the World Cup.” The former SC Braga defender believes the Belgian second division league leaders stands a good chance of getting a good result. Cercle Brugge’s only defeat this season in the league was against Lierse in November, 2017. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/echiejile-set-cercle-brugge-debut-belgian-second-division/ |

Aina Opens Up On World Cup Ambition, FA Cup Goal, Terry’s Influence, Hull City Experience Nigeria defender Ola Aina has stated that he cannot wait for the commencement of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Aina featured for England at junior levels before switching his allegiance to Nigeria. The Hull City defender made his competitive debut for the Super Eagles in their 1-0 win against Zambia in the 2018 World Cup qualifier in Uyo last year, replacing Elderson Echiejile. He went on to make two more appearances for Nigeria against Algeria (2018 World Cup qualifier) and Argentina (friendly). The 21-year-old in an interview with the official website of his parent club Chelsea spoke about his experience in the Championship, his goal in the FA Cup against Blackburn and John Terry’s influence in his career. “That was another proud moment for me,” Aina said about playing for Nigeria. “It’s been going really well so far. My full debut was away to Algeria. We had already qualified for the World Cup so I wasn’t really nervous, but it was good to get out there and play. “The fans are so passionate and it’s a big honour to represent them. The country is football mad and you feel that just putting on the shirt. We have some quality players in our team, including Victor (Moses), and I am looking forward to what is in store for us.” On playing in the Championship with Hull City and playing in different positions, Aima said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. It’s been harder than I expected – I was always told by other players who have played in the Championship that I would be able to cope with it, but coming here and actually doing it are two different things. “Every team is very hard-working, the pace of the game is very quick and teams press all the time. It’s physical, too. It’s all I need to get used to playing senior football regularly. I’m just enjoying my football right now, I’m relishing the opportunity and it is serving me well. “At the beginning of the season I was playing right-back, obviously a position I am used to. In the second half of the season I have been playing predominantly at left-back. I have probably enjoyed it there a bit more funnily enough, because I can drive on the inside or go down the outside and create more chances.” On Hull’s improved defensive display and on areas he wishes to improve in his game, Aina added: “At the beginning of the season we were scoring a lot of goals but conceding a lot at the back, and in the second half of the season we have been tight at the back but struggling to get goals at the other end. It’s been strange, but we just have to build on the clean sheets we have got recently and try and win more games.” “I have been working on keeping concentrated throughout the whole game. Sometimes in the past I have had lapses where maybe I have switched off for a second and then danger happens. For the majority of this season that’s what I have been working on and it’s really got better. I’m happy because I can see it improving game by game.” And commenting on his goal against Blackburn in the FA Cup, former Chelsea captain JohnTerry’s influence and monitoring Chelsea’s progress so far this season, Aina said: “It was a proud moment scoring my first senior goal. The game was at deadlock, both teams were defending well. The ball came in from a corner, I went up for it and it just landed on my head and went in. It was the only goal of the game so I put the team through to the next round, and that made it an even nicer feeling for me. ” I am a Chelsea supporter through and through. I watch all the games and if I have to miss them, I catch them on Match of the Day. I’m keeping up with everything. “It was a good day. JT (John Terry) came over to me before the game, gave me a hug, congratulated me on my move and told me to enjoy the season and play well. He has always given me confidence and it was good to see him. “Playing against JT (now at Aston Villa) was a bit surreal, because whenever I had seen him on the other side of the pitch it was in a training game! Seeing him in different colours and not on the same team as me was weird, but it was good to challenge myself up against him. There was even one time I was marking him in the box at a corner. I enjoyed it.” https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/aina-opens-world-cup-ambition-fa-cup-goal-terrys-influence-hull-city-experience/ |

Read Amo tagging Isaac as one of the sexiest players 9ja has, well I believe he categorized himself as one Isaac must cut his excesses and work his socks off. He should learn to be disciplined if he wants to get out of the shithole he put himself. Isaac is a talented kid but he's not helping himself |

And you think he's the worst of all coaches out out there character wise? Tried reading about some of the big names out there? What exactly makes him a bad character person? Let's use 2 incidence as a case study to see if it's just him or other good coaches have same traits. junnyjake: BTW, what working system does fortuna sittard have that didn't win them a pencil in 25 years? If the so called system was working, they wouldn't be where they are. To make things happen, you need people with strong opinionated mindset. Anyways since they feel he can't be worked with even after setting all the records the club currently have, they can as well part ways as done already. |

Note, due to my watching almost every game of Ederson for Manchester City this season and watching little of Alisson, sparked my disagreement of the statement that Alisson is a way way better goalkeeper than Ederson. Watched a clip of Alisson and I did not see saves he has pulled off that Ederson can not make or even better. His footie tricks are not over Ederson too. The Pele of goalkeepers statement came from Tafarel, the goalkeeper coach of the Brazilians. More to me like Tafarel justifying his picking of Alisson. Cesar who is a compatriot rates both highly. No clear statement of rating one higher. Fifa 18 rates Ederson as the better goalkeeper but I will put the fact that it is easier to have a clean sheet playing in Guardiola's system than the system Alisson plays in Italy. So I think Ederson and Alisson are both wonderful choices. The selection is up to the keeper coach. I do not think Alisson can replicate the long throws or ball rolls Ederson does or the long clearances which help build counters for our team. However, Guardiola's system also helps these to occur. Nice keepers but with what I have studied, I do not think Alisson is far a better keeper or even a better keeper. Verdict will come after watching a few of Alisson's games. |
