I daresay he plays that role better than the Left Wing he plays at Arsenal.

You were expecting Messi to dribble the whole team and score 5 goals abi

And you're supposed to be a Ronaldo fan

forgiveness:


How many shot on goal did Messi had before the two goals?

I didn't notice he was on the field untill he scored that lucky goal but the goal changed the momentum of the game.

tbaba1234:


The only hope for that team are all the players joining from abroad like Chukwueze, Kingsley Michael, Tom Dele Bashiru etc..

Otherwise, it is not a very good team.

OMANBALA1:


Forget matter. Iwobi doesnt have the perseverance to play a 10. Before long he will lose concentration and stamina.

forgiveness:


If Liverpool had buried all their chances we will be saying a different story.

Liverpool dominated the game and created more chances before the second goal. And they still created many chances afterwards but they scuttled them.

Barcelona had no answer to Liverpool's domination.

Icon79:
Ask yourself this question: how come that the usually ruthless Liverpool suddenly became goal shy? What happened Bros, that didn't happen by accident. And it wasn't by luck either. It was a technical masterpiece by the masters of the game.

Van Dijk (Liverpool): "There is no answer to Messi. No one has one. I’m just glad I don’t play in Spain to face him every season."

Now, chew on that

Which specific player have i brought down??

I have only spoken about overall quality.. As a whole. There will still be many that i feel shouldn't make the team in the final list.

The hope is that the sprinkling of quality from a few players like chukwueze will prevent a disgraceful outing.

Icon4s:


Even that AYC team as it is cannot have a disgraceful outing. That team may just lack creativity upfront but it is a very compact team that is hard to beat. They never lost any game from open play. Conceding only 1 goal all the through the tournament.

And some of you will be shocked to find out that some of those Home boys that played the AYC will be better than some of those Foreign pros we have been mentioning.

I am not skewed towards foreign pros or foreign born. I am for the best player for every position irrespective of where u were born or where u play.

tbaba1234:


The team that played the AYC was horrendous. There is no doubt that you can find quality on the local scene at under 20 level but most of the quality Nigerian players find their way abroad sooner or later and too many players engage in age-cheating.

Apart from Ozornwafor, none of the other guys from the local scene that played the AYC excite me. That said, it is possible that there will be some breakout players at the WC

At the end of the day, i think Aigbogun might end up with a decent side capable of doing well especially with the talents joining the team.

stop shifting blames please.... they're some of you here...even when an Indegenous coach is caught taking kickbacks you guys will still support him.... and still claim he is transparent..
is it not glaring to you...that we have better players in the country who are truly under 20 and not in this team. .... are they the best under 20 players in the NPFL?

the coach didn't do a good job scouting....

Mr forgiveness you are very funny. After all the domination and outshining what happened.....you keep saying if Liverpool had taken their chances, I bet you if Dembele had scored the last chance you'll be soaking your pillow tonight

"Moreover, he is a coach with a lot of knowledge. It will be fine for him, as I knew it was going to be good for Luis Enrique."... Guardiola on Ernesto Valverde

forgiveness:


Were you expecting him to say otherwise? This is mind game. Klopp said he enjoyed the game today eventhough his team lost the game because his team dominated Barcelona in their backyard.

Earthquake3:


It seems Guardiola does your thinking for you

austineaddy:


O pari master u are right . He's the original GOAT

TheGoodJoe:


Where did you get that from? Valverde is brilliant.

Where I knew Valverde was special was when Manchester City signed Laporte. Laporte used to play for Valverde at Bilbao.

Guardiola signed Laporte and without a full training session at City, he started for the team and did well.

For a player to walk into Manchester City and just start, it shows the training he got was close to that of what we had at Manchester City. That was when it occurred to me that Valverde was a brilliant tactical mind that is so underrated.

edi287:

Some Barca fans just don't like him because he doesn't play the Barca way.
Dude is a great tactician. I feel like Unai Emery - he tends to set up his team based on the opponents instead of playing his way. This isn't always a bad thing but Barca is a big club. It's why he's seen as underwhelming at times.
