he should go to world cup

I know but i am interested in his performance since he just returned from injury.

Iwobi is packed and ready to leave

Alexander the great Iwobi!! the slayer of Zambia,humiliator of the great Marscherano and beloved nephew of our own Jay Jay Okocha ...

gamaliel9:
I see from the goal that Musa Yahaha has not changed...dipping of shoulder to deceive an opponent....and growing in confidence....Post Russia will be interesting...

Somebody should get him away from Porto... For how long will he be in the teamB? If Porto aren't ready to promote him to the main team, he should leave.....

DrKlever:
He conceded two goals i guess. Ezenwa against Iceland, no problem, but Ezenwa vs Argentina is a no no for me cause that midget would make a mice meal of him. Reason: Enzenwa has rush of blood, and we all know what messi can do to such people. Our goalkeeper crisis dun tire me mehn!

The opposition was not very good so i was surprised that Enyimba conceded 2 at home... Maybe they fielded a weaker team but i am interested in Ezenwa performance since he is world cup bound.

eterisan:
tackles don't win you championships, goals and assists do. Top players, win you championships, top players give goals and assists..... Sad but true..

Tackles don't win u championship? Ok score 3 goals and leave your defence open if you won't concede 4. Chelsea defence during José mourinho first reign mainly won titles because of their brutal tackles cos they mainly won games 1-0. Remove Kante's tackles from Leicester title winning side and u will see that they would have battled relegation that year. A single tackle can be the difference between a win, draw or loss. Please sir, don't say tackles doesn't win u championship again. It surely does and we pray Ndidi tackles wins us enough points at the world cup to go far...Amen

Sainty92:
Playing wingback role can be really tasking. Infact it is the hardest outfield position to play cos u are playing double roles. Cut the guy some sleek. He has been playing week in, week out. Conte knows how important Moses is that's why he hardly benches him. Moreover did u see dat Fouseini Diabate's goal bound shot blocked by Moses today? That is a million dollar worth...

Yea the guy blocked not one but two goal bound shots. He's too vital to our WC games so I want him to be in tip top shape. I wish him an injury free pre WC and WC proper

tbaba1234:
Iwobi is packed and ready to leave

This Iwobi too love to play for Nigeria. He no dey take international games play. And chance to be with Iheanacho in camp. Abi dem be gay ni? Hahaha..Good morning fam....

Tackles truly don't win titles, you can argue that interceptions do but definetly not tackles. The blocks were exactly that, blocks and not tackles. When you intercept a pass before it gets to the player, you have a quicker possibility of a counter attack, but tackles, that's another thing. Anyways all these things are important thoug

Meaning he left Lobi two seasons ago?

Don't think he ever played there

The Libyans are taking their loss very personal. Even resorting to racial attacks.

The KC debate again.

The truth is too bitter for many ears here to hear and accept.

I tire ooooooo...

The truth is truly bitter.

the road to insulting and fuming and defaming all of you that were against our own @Ndidi.



Perhaps yesternight's performance will shut you lots up till after the world cup.


He bested Kante in all ramifications of the same position and to a flawless level that now, the world is now screaming his hype.


Continue to hate on your own o.


He lost to a better team that cos of him, game was dragged to extra time.


Please what else do you need?

North Africans are very disgusting lots.. Very violent and hot tempered especially against black Africans.. Remember what they did to Rivers utd last year in Sudan...


That's one reason some Africans don't want to support Morocco's world cup bid..

Kog45:
I used to tell you some of us are really foreign freak and we intend to be biased when it comes to sensitive issues.

Think of it we lowered the standard of goalkeeping to division three even regional league just to absorbed the FB but truth be told it's absurd considering a youth keeper with no experience for super eagles even if keeper like Akpeyi is not convincing.

Now to Bundesliga trio,i specifically watched Uduokhai and Akpoguma this season and of late Torunarigha.No doubt they are good guys that will add value to our team but not on automatic slots especially for WC.

Uduokhai,Akpoguma and Torunarigha are normal footballer like what we have presently with no clear distinct except having real fundamental basic knowledge of football which cannot be taken away from them but without sentiments attached ,it would be a huge task for them to displace any defenders even Omeruo

I see some criticising Omeruo for best reason know to them forgetting this is a young lad with WC experience and is doing well for his club though tbaba1234 said he should be blamed for his side three goals but we forgot that if we want to base it on weekly performance some of our players would not smell national team

They cannot be having outstanding weekly performance always,so normal to have one or two matches that they failed to live upto expectations but that should not be a yardstick to judge them or to make us believe they are not good enough cos of some foreign born players who turned us down but seeing WC as an avenue to explore.

WC slot to Torunarigha would be a greatest mistake from Rohr and NFF cos it can destabilize the unity of the team and they should take a cue from Cameroon national team who did similar thing for the likes of Assou Ekotto,they paid dearly for it.

Let these FBs come to camp and prove that they are better just like Ebuhei,Idowu and Aina did recently and the team would be better for it.

Not against the German guys but they should prove to us that they are better and convincing

Is it not here we heard we are building a team and we don't need old players?

They told us Martins Obafemi is old and he is not needed despite his Sterling performance in recent years.

Here we go again with the hate talk...
Somebody can't criticize or air his honest opinion about a player on a public forum without being tagged an hater?

Oh please grow up...

Somebody will just wake up one morning and conclude that we hate a player just because we criticize him.... Nonsense!!

Ndidi,Nacho and every footballer out there with some Nigerian blood in them are ours and we will support them no matter what but that doesn't stop us from airing our opinion about them when need be.... This thread isn't the online public forum where super eagles matter are discussed self...

Mujtahida:

I am sure you are being ridiculous. Agbo that is hanging on the fringes. That he's been invited consistently does not mean he has an automatic slot. Mind you we are talking of the final 23 man list for the WC. That's where you are preserving an automatic slot for Torunarigha and others.

Oga! You asked who is in the National team and has done nothing. I mentioned Agbo but here you are pulling another string.

Is Agbo currently in the National team? Answer.. Yes or No.

tbaba1234:


Thanks for your service...hahaha

Sadly his service was still executed poorly.... He didn't screenshot my original comment.... If we wanna do something, then let us do it wholly... Lol


It is easy to say I find no wrong in Nacho when I actually do. It is just that ehen I do speak on Nacho's shortcomings, the rest act blind and do not see it. Lol... They only raise alarms when I balance it beautifully by speaking on Nacho's good and strengths which people are quick to call hypes.

Against South Africa, I lashed Nacho for not doing enough and not having enough fire in him that day even when I blamed the midfielders for not doing their job especially the one who played AM that day.

Believe it or not, but the Truth will always be twisted to and for some and they start crying that Supernerd sees no wrong in Nacho... A stand they take to make their own points look so valid and sound like the Truth when it is a fat lie.


Now let us analyse this one more time.....




Iheanacho hit a misplaced pass... No one said he didn't. I even called it a slightly hit-behind-the player pass... It was poorly placed by Nacho. He should have hit it a bit further forward for Mahrez.... Buutttttt He had just exerted energy winning the ball cleanly off two tussles before he broke free on that attack.... He then hit a not so perfect pass to mahrez which is true... But bottom line, Mahrez brought the ball under control... Mahrez even executed a feigning dribble easily with his left foot... Then he broke free and had a choive to go wide right but he decided to move central into trouble grounds of three Chelsea markers and lost the damn ball....


How Nacho takes the blame for this in any way is totally beyond me! Not even one top pundit called out Nacho but na some people here wey go only come out when Kelechi is concerned as if their reason for being here is just Kelechi... They don't comment until it is about Kelechi... Smh...

Abeg... It is Mahrez's fault. Simple and plain. Go take it up with the matchday commentators and analysts because they also agree with me. That is calling a spade a spade and not defending a player. When Nacho does wrong, I talk about it but when Nacho does right... Some people here just grow silent and say nothing....

Okay, against Bournemouth... When Mahrez hit that freekick goal that earned Leicester a point in the dying seconds, no one emphatically pointed out that it was Nacho who drew that foul and won that freekick in the first place. No one pointed out that when he came in, Leicester were beginning to look more dangerous with Nacho sending Vardy thru on a few occasions and keeping the passing flowing... But when Nacho caused a freekick sometime ago earlier this season against Leicester which led to a goal against Leicester, these same set of people were quick to come out and lash Nacho for conceding that freekick and blaming him for everything.

It is becoming a bad habit on this thread and balance must be restored. You blame Nacho for a freekick scored against Leicester. Then plsss praise him too for a freekick won and scored by Leicester. And when Mahrez stupidly tries to run into trouble even after Nacho ran in behind the players facing Mahrez and positioned himself on the shoulder of one of the last defenders and did open up keeping himself onside..( if only mahrez had gone wide right ) then plssss let us just blame mahrez and leave Nacho alone. He is NOT the reason Mahrez acted silly in that instance.



Nacho this, Nacho that... Did he give a misplaced pass? Yes he did.

Did it still reach its destination? Oh hell yeah.. It did.

Did the receiver of the misplaced pass manage to bring it under control and balance? Yes he did... With so much time sef.

Did he beat his first marker with a feigned dribble? Yes he did so easily.... Further establishing the fact that he was in control of the situation and the ball.

Did he have a choice to go wide right and try to pull out for nacho who was positioned waiting for such a pass? Yes he did but he lost it in his decision making and decided to go play "maradona" in the face of three walls in his way... He forgot he is not HOUDINI!!!!

Thank you... Now that is much better service delivered... De rien...

whats fair about criticisms that disregards facts that are seen with the eyes? pls school me


what sort of criticism that doesn't just wanna respect efforts that are made individually without Tryna bring down someone?


I should grow up, sure I do every day. But the good Lord knows that all who hating on Ndidi are just true haters that have no valid point or reason for hating other than that he is just a Nigerian.


that's the reason some peeps bring up stupid comparisons like Modric Vs Onazi just to bring down his hardworking that the world whole, except Nigerian critics, are now applauding him for.

What is that called?

Grow up please.

Does he need to play a game Vs Busquets before he can be classed?

He played against the same guy that the whole Epl were making to look like a god(a black for that matter), and he bested him all round.


pls what's the criticisms that is very valid about the fact that is better than Kante, and several others across Europe's top 5 leagues?


You told me to grow up, please do grow up geometrically. I'll take up growing arithmetrically.


criticisms my foot. What are they even criticising sef?

what? what are they criticising for God's sake?

Grow up please.

Is Agbo currently in the National team? Answer.. Yes or No.

I didn't ask who is in the national team. Point it out if that's what I asked. I asked who currently in the national team has an automatic slot without having done something to merit it. Don't put words in my mouth.

Mujtahida:


Abeg show me just one player we have who has an automatic slot, a slot just reserved for him without past or present merit, just mention one.

Forgiveness is this not the question I asked?you gave my question an entirely different spin. Is being in the national team the same as having automatic slot in the national team? Omo, I weak for you.

Icon4s:


I for one blamed Iheanacho for the poor pass and also Mahrez for not being able to make the best out of that situation. I think only one other person saw reasons with me. The majority completely put the blame on Mahrez.

You have been long enough on this thread to have known my kind of comments. Look, I say things the way they are.

I don't care if anyone joins me in the course or likes my comments or not.

You that believed Iheanacho was partly at fault why didn't you say it?

I don't belong to the group that pledge loyalty to any player or group of players. Nobody is paying for my data so I owe no player or any school of thought any allegiance.

People should learn to say things the way they are.

Please post those screenshots if you want to.

the only reason I believed this is because of what you guys said. I did not watch the game , so, how can I start saying what I don't know?

I was led to believe he was at fault, by what i read, not what i saw, so, I cannot talk as if I know anything.

And the same way you owe no in anything., that is how KC's fans are. Nobody owes anybody anything here, so, if they want to be blind supporters, no wahala.

Las las, even you, mentioned that KC made a bad pass, but you didn't exaggerate it the way Dede did, so, why you would support such a strongly-worded writing against KC's supporters is beyond me. Nobody exonerated Kelechi totally, so, why did he come here, vituperating as if someone said Kelechi's pass was Pirlo-esque


We have been on this for over two years and nobody has changed. We still know who is talking by their words, so, why don't we all stop instigating each other by accusing people of over loving a player

It is starting to look like some people just say stuff to get at others

For God sake, how do tackles not win championship. If an argument can be made for interceptions, then why not tackles. A good tackle would have prevented a good interception. It also returns possession to your team to do whatever you like with the ball... Though na scores we dey count at the end of the game but all these contributes to the final scoreline at the end of the day jo.

Wen u want to criticize a player dat u genuinely love ND want to get beta u start from a good point ND den d bad,unless d player was piss poor on d day.
Some of us here have kids in sch. Wen they bring home their report card u dnt go criticizing d c's before complimenting d A's...
Ndidi was massive, but he needs to up his game wen it comes to passing.... Dats how u criticize..
Iheanacho was very tactically disciplined, but his pass to mahrez was not gud and dat made it easier for mahrez to lose possession leading to d goal... Dats constructive criticism.
Alot of us kept mentioning his poor first touch... ND seeing how it's not be mentioned in d last 20pages at least m assuming he has worked on it, but Av not seen anyone come to compliment him for dat.. Please let's all be constructive in d way we criticize... Have a lovely day everyone.

Mr President, how can your son be playing for the US.

Unless Liberia pulls an Istanbul, I doubt he can see a better chance for the young boy's career with the national team.

Liberia would need to fight hard to see glory in years to come in football.

Like when someone just felt like he has to be anti Nacho because of the Nacho lovers. It's really annoying how cats are always trying to put down this boys. All players do not possess all attributes but these boys must be always perfect according to wetin I dey see here... One error or dip in form and they begin to make it look as though the boys have been sh!t their whole career.
Na when you get class today?

TheSuperNerd:
I have been dropping newsbits and rumors about this possible move and I tell you I want it to happen.... Ndidi to Liverpool is a real possibility if they can match Leicester's asking price or reach a compromise in their bargain.

And yes Sir Tbaba, yes... Leicester should demand a Huge price... He won't and shouldn't come cheap for Liverpool. Infact, Ndidi should cost more than Naby Keita. Anything less than £50million is not good enough... Ndidi is worth that and above. Think 65-75 million sef. He could be Africa's most expensive player possibly but time will tell.

Im glad that this news is coming just a few days after I talked about his evaluation.


With this hype of prices of current crop of players, Ndidi will definitely pulled more than 50m.

Barça may not be far off, but I know his passes would have improved before he clocks 25!!!

Well said in all and @bolded.... 'Nuff said. And uhmmm... I would have loved to compliment his improvement so far on the first touch but well you know how things get on around here...

Anything from The Supernerd on Nacho is player worship...

So me, I just avoid unnecessary praises and focus on other matters on the player and other players. I leave these other observations to Nacho's heavy critics who obviously won't point out what you just said.

Abeg.... Have a beautiful day yourself o jare...
