Lol. The achievement should be expected step by step. This is Nigeria. if you know you know o. Happy he has some new form now.


I'm I the only one that is beginning to feel the need to Dig why VicMo retired? Why is it so under carpet and just irrelevant?

Well I don't know abeg. No matter what country it is 6 goals will always put you in the conversation for top scorer.

superbloke:

Someone criticizes Ighalo for his poor run of form in GWG, you tag him hater.

Ighalo puts in a great performance and scores goals, you shout “where are the haters”

The “hater” praises Ighalo for his great games and improved form, you call him chameleon.

What exactly do you want? For people to grovel at your feet and name you the one that must not be questioned? It shows how emotional, rather than analytical as they'd like us to believe, people on this thread can be. A lot of people are more concerned about being right and able to say “I told you so” than seeing the team progress even if it is in a way different from how we want.

Ofcourse this goes both ways (both “camps”).

Never noticed you before.

But from nowhere you seem to have a lot of presumptuous deductions which imply you have already taken sides.

Either that or you jumped without looking.

Earthquake1:


Shehu for Aina
Moses for Kalu

You are more conservative than stiff neck Onigbide

Aina and Kalu should improve if they want to play.

tbaba1234:


Ighalo is unlikely to get to 82 caps at his age.[b] African teams do not play as many games[/b.

As many games as which continent if I may ask Sir?

komekn:


I can not give a very good assessment he has just come back from a serious long term injury of near 2 years. He is just getting back to find his form. Also I haven't watched him live in a long time.

He was highly rated before Injury.

I don't think you can compare the two of them that would be very unfair. I don't think Odubanjo has played a game in the championship for Brentford this season.

I think he needs a whole season in the Championship hopefully without any injury before you can see where he us at. And if he has been able to get back to his former standard.

na from Thursday we dey know as weekend go be

So, you know of fair assessments in football? But you did not give Chukwueze that fairness when you said he wasn't a decent player based on few minutes you watched of him.

Wonders

Well yes, so how did u rate him before his long term injury? He’s clocked some minutes with Brentford lately. And even played as LB as well

Danielnino00:



You have said it all jare... Rohr knew what he was risking by sticking with Ighalo though I think Rohr was preparer to give Ighalo his last chance against Libya that prompted the recall of Isaac Success...
Rohr has made a lot of gambles since he took over but I think Uzoho and Ighalo case paid off the most...

In all honesty I don't think Rohr was risking anything beyond the negative rhetoric of emotive and sentimental fans against Ighalo.

The reality is Ighalo is currently the best number 9 we have there is no real viable alternative.

Isaac Success like many former youth international players are given opportunity without justification but based on past youthful irreverent glories.

I said it before when all the haters and l use the word without apology. Attacked Ighalo with never ending caustic rhetoric and abuse which was unacceptable and reprehensible.

There have been many pretenders presented as alternatives by emotive fans such as Osimhen, Sadiq Umar, Nwakaeme, Isaac Success, etc but none of them is anywhere near his quality.

Any good coach will know it's only a matter of time before things will fall into sync and dials will come.

MetalJigsaw:
I think I'll start praying to God that this doesn't happen. Make Rohr no try am o!

Iwobi has been good on the wings for arsenal this season.. But me thinks he will do better as in inverted winger since he enjoys drifting to midfield . my only problem is his shooting abilities.. He should practise more on shooting when he has the chance to.. no be to dy pass every time...

Samueltemi337:
Best Formation 4-3-3 Uzoho (GK) Aina (RB) Ekong (CB) Balogun (CB) Collins (LB) Ogu (DMF) Etebo (CM) Iwobi (AMF) Nwankwo Simon (LW) Ighalo (CF) Musa (RW)

Simmy as a winger?

Mickael2:



The problem I see with your lineup is lack of pace in that middle. Iwobi is the kind of guy that even if he is playing the AMF role he will still like to drift to the flanks and influence play from there but the problem he has is that even when he starts defending, he still sticks to the flank, at some point he was marking Samuel Kalu's man while we were defending and Samuel didn't know what to do hence he started moving from one side to the other to give Iwobi space that is why I have not blamed Samuel for his bad game knowing fully well that it would take a lot of training for him to know when to move central if Iwobi drifts to his wing, even Moses Simon or whoever would have a hard time with Iwobi as our AMF. Then back to your formation, Iwobi's absence then creates a space in the middle because only two players will be pressing in the middle, Etebo to me wasn't that poor because he was pressing for two persons and Ndidi was just sitting back doing almost nothing, just that if he(Etebo) does win the ball back he ends up making the wrong decision but with Mikel in the team I know that it will be reduced but if you remove Etebo for Onazi, is it Onazi or Mikel that will press for two persons?? You could see how the Libyans were easily creating passing triangles in our midfield because we had only two players chasing their 3-4 midfielders, don't forget that those two midfielders were Ndidi and Etebo, workhorses but still the Libyans found it easy, very very easy to get past the two of them and the Libyans aren't even on par with the South Africans when it comes to passing. So just imagine this; superior passing with even less energy in our midfield, that would be suicidal. I still think Iwobi should go back to the left or right flank and Etebo should pair with Onazi, Simon Moses should welcome Samuel to the bench

The wingers are expected to hug the line so as to create that space for Iwobi. There is no AMF that will just stand in one spot waiting on the ball. I did not drop Etebo because he was poor but so he can be a game changer later in the game. Onazi is capable of locking down the midfield defensively, he also knows when to use a hard foul to send a message and those SA boys are not ready for that.

safarigirl:
of course, Giroud and Ighalo should never be mentioned in the sme sentence.


A whole Giroud that has multiple FA Cup wins, World Cup winner and let us not forget, PUSKAS Award winner for that sumptuous Scorpion Kick two seasons ago..... Giroud and Ighalo should not be compared, Giroud na Ighalo mentor

What about their current form?

Joebie:
Victor Moses is still very relevant.

Victor Moses has retired. Simon Moses has the juice now.

The guy is simply a joy to watch as an AM. Just play Mikel behind him, that's the way to go!

Iwobi is very unpredictable so when playing the AM role. Add that to his passing ability and impressive vision.

Arsenal fans lose their minds after Alex Iwobi’s OUTRAGEOUS pass for Nigeria

ARSENAL ace Alex Iwobi sent Gunners fans into a frenzy social media after pulling off a stunning pass for Nigeria last night(on Tuesday)

By IZZY HORSEFIELD



Young Gunner Iwobi has been in impressive form for Arsenal since the arrival of new manager Unai Emery.

The 22-year-old has secured a regular starting spot under the Spaniard and has proved to be one of the club’s main attacking threats.

And Iwobi continued his strong performances during the international break this week.

During Nigeria’s African Cup of Nations match against Libya, Iwobi unleashed a stunning pass for Odion Ighalo’s opening goal.

Iwobi was seen picking the ball up on the edge of the box before finding a tiny gap in Libya’s defence.

The Arsenal ace slots in a pin-point accurate pass to Musa who duly assisted Ighalo for the first goal.

And the Emirates faithful were quick to take to social media to hail their star man’s performance.

“That pin point pass from @alexiwobi @Arsenal, what a baller,” one fan wrote.

Your hatred just never fails to shine through. You said Solanke was better even after he(Nacho) had an excellent first season. You are lying and trying to dribble your way out of it but you cannot. Even when Nacho does have a bad game, you want us to over dwell on it because you love to scoff at the lad... But he does well, you hide your face. Oga, you are a certified Nacho hater. We know and we can move on with that knowledge because it is truth. Thank you. I clap for your dodging skills shaa ooo... Lol

When presenting an argument distinguish between facts and opinion.

Forgiveness has his opinion it's not an act of HATRED you may disagree with it. But you really shouldn't get unhinged about it.

You used the term TRASH I dont think Forgiveness did. Again that's your opinion but to bring your opinion and then foister the diction of your opinion on someone and declare that is what he said that is MISREPRESENTATION it is not fact.

My opinion on KC you have decided is HATRED that's your opinion it's not fact.

I said a long long time ago, and I have been watching KC when he was at City academy. That the true test of his quality is when he is in a team no longer surrounded by world class players.

That test has come at Leicester and the results are there for all to give thier differing opinions on.

No be fight, it's a faceless forum for goodness sake.

MetalJigsaw:

based on current form Iheanacho is better than Sanchez, so, we should compare them?

Comparing a bang average Solanke to an Excellent Nacho even after the showings of 2015/2016 with Nacho as the most lethal in all of Europe in terms of goals per mins ratio in his very first pro season is trash talking.
Even so far this season, Nacho is in fine form and has Two goals and Three assists already. He is in the top ten for Assists in the EPL already after a couple of games. So yes, he is proving that he can do it at the King power after a difficult first year/season with them no thanks majorly to injury and fitness struggles. Exact same case with Ousmane Dembele at Barca.

Your partner-in-hate, -lies, and -facts twisting have never admitted to the fine quality of Nacho and even stated that an average performer outshone him and was better thus trash talking the Nacho kid. So don't come into my mentions and spill more nonsense komekn. You are just never truthful mister southie. Always shape-shifting.

And Bia.... I never remember quoting you Oh mighty facts-twister and renowned truth bender. How e take pain you say I dey state my keen observation of Forgiveness as a bonafide Nacho hater with good time references of when and where? Something that is known and obvious to most of us here? Lol

Abeg abeg abeg... In the absence of anything intelligent or "truthful" to say... I think I can change this channel now... MERCI

Danielnino00:

Simmy as a winger?

Yes

I would rather see Libya qualify than SA at least as pay back for 2015.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... Oya I dey here naa... Biko no vex... I don hala you now. Oya wetin you wan discuss? Make we join BascoVanVeli and Edi287 for that NGA vs SA lineup discussion or abi you wan discuss return to EPL action for weekend?

Abeg o. Epl tinz.

SA own till far. We go use Seychelles draw to see how they got frustrated from scoring that's all. It's all attack to me.

I raised this question ❓ quite some time ago that this guy had given good service to the SE and sometimes at great cost.

And the young man resigns in other countries they would refuse to accept the resignation and find a way to resolve any differences or issues.

And some here essentially said, "Good riddance"

And I in addition got the usual abuse.

Danielnino00:



Impossible is just a word sir

Lol.

4 goals in a calendar year for Musa? Haba na. respect the guy na. lol He's capable. he can do that in a calendar year.

BascoVanVeli:



Well I don't know abeg. No matter what country it is 6 goals will always put you in the conversation for top scorer.

Sure. definitely.

November is not that far again shaa but yeah, I guess we can give it a few more days before we deliver deeply into that #RSANGA discussion.

Okay, so EPL action... Obviously, your mind dey for Sarriball (aka sarrismo) vs Mourinho naa.

It may happen. Beating them next month will leave SA on 8 while Libya may nick a goal and take all three points vs Seychelles away moving them to 7 and a free for all and winners-take-all battle will go down in North Africa with Libya as hosts.

Just cannot wait to take them out next month...

I'm not comfortable with the way the Press doesn't seem interested in finding out why he just chose to hang the boots. This guy has really done a great service far above the performance and output of most of his current GWG teammates. Even when he flops, his teammates don't even take over. they watch. I don't get why he is treated like this. Perhaps this has the handwriting of the Glass House on it!!!! Even Pinnick isn't saying a word.

I dunno, but I have this angle that Mou might just take this one despite the poor run of form. But Sarri na baba o.

Loved when I heard him saying VicMoses has to compete with Hazzy for a playing spot. I pray it increases his output and then he cancels retirement for GWG. we would have a beast at Afcon. oh gosh I didn't think of that angle. How GWG fans would react if VicMo returns to make the afcon team. shirt. Wahala go dey o.

kellycute:
you have never praised nacho even when he put in a great shift at work, instead you keep waiting for a moment to strike back if he fail to live up to expectation. Komekn will rather feed on poison than to praise nacho even if he score 10goals in a match, that is the characteristic of an hater!!. I prefer nacho to ighalo and that’s my opinion but that doesn’t mean I won’t praise ighalo when he put in a great shift at work (football Na their Work). Iggy scoop gave me an orgasmic feeling, remind me of myself during my reign at ogida.

I do praise in context and it shouldn't be based on emotive sentiment. Should be objective.

When KC has an assist some celebrate it like he scored a hat trick. I am sorry that's not me. In reality you are settings the player up to fail by lowering his aspiration and adopting mediocrity.

KC should as a £25 million striker in Leicester , be getting a minimum of 10 goals a season in the EPL. That's my biased opinion as some will describe it. But currently in his second season has scored about 5 goals.

Is that something to celebrate ❓

Well I don't think so and if you think that's HATRED then I leave you to your opinion.

I don't know Ighalo or KC personally so my preference is STRICTLY about performance. Your performance is basis for my preference. In this regard I prefer Ighalo and have always done.

Finally, constructive criticism is not HATRED but then as a man thinketh so he is. If your full of hate yourself what else can you see.
