Press talk a lot of the time can be misleading and us used by agents to market thier players.

However, l can assure you he is being considered by Liverpool as an obvious stand in. I think he will probably end up in Villa, Wolves, West Ham or even Newcastle my personal speculation.

Below some media links that have a good degree of integrity and as such can not be ignored completely.

You may call them just pace and power with no end product. Means you haven't looked at him objectively but with double standard bias in comparison to our own strikers.

This Mali team have two bulldozers who will terrorrize our defenders Adama traore on his day unplayable. I hope we don't meet Mali maybe on the final or semi finals. Because it will not be easy.




Me I'm not comparing Moussa to any of our strikers.

Our strikers are equally above average at best (in fact, all our players) and so is Moussa.

When they meet, it will be a battle between above average players.

I'm not Joe or forgiveness that thrives on too much arguments

Did you read stars of the team? You are showing me substitutes entering. As I said, you are just browsing and arguing. Thierry Henry and Trezeguet for instance were young players of the team breaking in, not star players. That is why you see them coming in as subs in the game. The Ligue 1 players were not stars of the team.

As I said, keep arguing. Only Barthez and Blanc. I don't remember Guivarch even scoring despite playing as a top 9. As I said, keep arguing.

Finito.

You gave a list of 12 foreign players and you claimed they were the key players. See the bolded below.

But how come you forgot to list Barthez and Blanc among the key players? grin

You still went ahead to post a snapshot of the lineup with Blanc missing against Brazil just to claim those on the list were the key players. grin

Why didn't you mention Blanc? grin

Where you just being mischievous? grin

How many goals did Giroud score for France in the last world cup?

Does it change the fact that he was a key player or a star in the team? grin

You thought that Chelsea player chopping bench was among the key players without knowing Blanc was the key player but didn't make the final because of the red card he got on the Semi finals.

The reason there is inconsistency in your argument is because you don't know. grin

You now dropped another ignorant comment that Trezeguet and Henry were not stars as that time. Chaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! You fall my hand no bi small. grin

saw this somewhere...



After peace came and PLATEAU became UNITED, I travelled to Bauchi where I met a guy named WIKKI who is a TOURIST. He told me he was on his way to ENUGU to see a RANGER that he met in Lagos after church service at MOUNTAIN OF FIRE MINISTRY . I decided to accompany him. While on our way, our driver was informed that ABIA WARRIORS were fighting with EL-KANEMI WARRIORS on who should take possession of the HEARTLAND OF OWERRI. Facing such a challenge, we had to GO ROUND through the YOBE DESERT which was dark and scary. But thank God for the LOBI and REMO STARS who guided our path till SUNSHINE surfaced. I was able to secure JETS from a rich friend of mine named IFEANYI UBAH but was informed by the Pilots that we couldn't fly because when we get to NIGER we would encounter TORNADOES. Thus, we agreed to sail through Port-Hacourt since the RIVERS were UNITED and the Pirates were chased away by DELTA FORCE. On getting to NASARAWA, we observed that the people were not UNITED. We made enquiries and discovered that the Palace was falling because a Man named EYIMBAH sold substandard materials he got from ABA to them. In sympathy, we gave them the PILLARS we brought from KANO. The king was happy and before we left, he dashed us diamonds he got from KATSINA. Knowing that the diamonds would be at peril because of armed robbers, we took them to BENDEL for INSURANCE. At that point, we were tired and hungry, so; we bought K-WARA to eat. While eating my K-wara I saw a text from Abdul saying that he is travelling to Uyo to see Okon because the People of AKWA and GOMBE are now UNITED.

ordinarily this would seem illogical but knowing the history of our national team over the years it's just another routine that happens during major competitions

Even Westerhof said during his time at the helm of the national team that he would sometimes deliberately fan the flames if discord among his players a few days before a match. It was his way of getting them fired up. Like I said no cause for alarm. Guinea go hear am tomorrow.

The way some of u guys downplay the results of the big boys just to make Eagles look good, makes me lmao grin

Darkelf even went as far as calling Marega a crap? Like seriously? Wow.

Somebody said Mali couldn't beat Burundi over two legs, hence, Nigeria did a yeoman's job by scrapping past them Lol. Abeg if we should reason through that line, then Nigeria is better than England, after all, we defeated the same Iceland team that knocked England outta the Euros grin


Before y'all begin yarn dust, trust me, Burundi is as shitty as all the perceived minnows, thing is that we got our tactics wrong, Rohr shouldn't have started Mikel as the AM and Iwobi as a winger when u have Musa and Onyekuru on the bench. He shouldn't have started Paul when he knew his wingers are gonna be more of inverted forwards than true wingers, since Paul feeds on crosses. Rohr had square pegs in round holes that was what made Burundi look a bit okay, not because they were/are good. As soon as Rohr corrected the mistakes, una no see how poor Burundi appeared?

Rohr Keen On Playing Leon Balogun Against Guinea With Omeruo Shifting To Right Back
June 25, 20190250

Facebook Twitter

According to reports exclusively gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com editorial team coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr is mulling over the idea of playing Kenneth Omeruo as a right fullback when Nigeria take on Guinea tomorrow in their second game at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.


Shehu Abdullahi who started in the 1-0 win over Burundi is injured and possibly out of the tournament and with Ola Aina playing as the left full back of the team due to the injury to Jamilu Collins, the idea of playing Omeruo as right back has been mooted.

Rohr once played the Chelsea defender as a right full back and with his eagerness to see Leon Balogun pair his regular partner William Troost-Ekong, he could be tempted to play Omeruo as a right back.

Balogun returned to training a day to the game against Burundi due to illness and mainly that was the reason why he missed the game but he is back to full fitness and Rohr is eager to pair him with Ekong at the heart of the defence for Nigeria against the pacy Guineans.

However Chidozie Awaziem is still the favorite to continue to deputise for Abdullahi after his impressive performance as a right back in the game against Burundi but all of that could change

Bro agreed 100%

Burundi is a crappy team as others small team that lost

You know what eagles are good and we got the 3 points that's what matters

I can't be saying Burundi is tougher than Mauritania Tanzania and co ,they are all crappy teams and I won't be little the teams that beat those teams and they also got 3 points like the eagles

Brazil won crappy and lowly ranked North Korea in the 2010 World Cup ,they managed to win 2-1 and they where happy

Moussa Marega; just physicality and raw power but no brain. Like say na muscle dey play ball. Can't wait for the Malians to be put in their place by a better team.

#Nonsense


darkelf:


Which EPL team?

He couldn't score or assist in two legs against Liverpool. Same as yesterday. Just pace and power with no end product.

Goals win games and if as a striker, you can't score, you should assist and if you can't do either , then you're an impotent striker. I repeat, Moussa is an average striker

How else does one define being crappy please?
