Neymar doesn't dive he overemphasizes grin
The contact is there but he 'may' sometimes make them more than they seem grin

But seriously Zaha is really being attacked on the pitch it is clear for all to see. We even heard Troy Deeney's sick comment about taking turns kicking Zaha.

Neymar can barely stay on his feet. Call it exaggeration, I will call it diving. His play acting was so bad at the world cup, he actually ended up embarrassing himself.

When you watch some of the penalties awarded to Zaha last season in particular against Arsenal, Man city and Watford. You will see the reason he was hated by opposition fans and players. Although Denney is a complete tool. He's an ex-con for a reason.

I am not surprised. Pinnick is a passionate Arsenal fan and has been in constant touch with Wenger for years now. As a matter of fact, it was Wenger that recommended Gernot Rohr(who is a good friend of Wenger's) to Pinnick.

Though I'm very skeptical about the chances that Wenger will agree to come out of retirement to coach a team in faraway Africa at his age. Most probably, Pinnick is reaching out to him for another recommendation, if that is the case, then we should expect another French coach soon.

Pinnick should stop the crap and give Siasia and Amunike the job as coach and assistant. Give them room to deliver.

Finito.

That is Ziyech as a right AMF. Whoscored terms it "AM(R)". He is adaptable as an AM and is a left footer plus he is so technically gifted with good speed too. This is why he can function as an AM anywhere across the final third be it as a CAM, AM(L)/LMF or AM(R)/RMF. When he is playing from the right or left, he could be seen as a winger but he is no typical winger.

That's is why I included him as a winger because he has played there several times even for Ajax ,even during the World Cup

Now check yesterday game and see where he played

Siasia + Amunike.... Wow... This combo won't be so bad but both are heavily attacking oriented tacticians. They will concede in most games and will be focused on just outscoring the opponents.

Although Amunike offers more tactical discipline than Siasia. Don't mind what Tanzania shows at this Afcon. It is not every national team that can translate your philosophy to even a quarter of the latter.

You want Pep. Me I would go for Jurgen Klopp if I had my way. I will maks him the highest paid coach in Africa and tie him to a four year-contract for a start. But shaa... Klopp is out of our reach now. Lol


Who I can feasibly recommend now? I don't know really but maybe uhmmm.... The young German who isn't so typically stiff like Rohr. His name is Julian Nagelsmann of TSG hoffenheim. But he is on his way to RB Leipzig for the 2019/2020 season. He is young, Dynamic and knows how to get the best out of gifted youngsters plus he plays beautiful disciplined football.

Nigerian Prodigy Kelechi Nwakali Training With Arsenal Ahead Of Potential Debut

Golden Ball winner at the 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup, Kelechi Nwakali has started training with Arsenal ahead of the new season, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

The former Flying Eagles skipper does not qualify for a work permit to play in the English Premier League as he has no senior caps to his name in competitive games, meaning he will head out on loan in the 2019-2020 season or be sold on a permanent basis.

On Arsenal's official website, Nwakali has been listed among their U23 players along with players of Nigerian descent Arthur Okonkwo, Tobi Omole, Joseph Olowu, Tolaji Bola, James Olayinka, Bukayo Saka, Xavier Amaechi and Folarin Balogun.

The Diamond Academy product was pictured wearing the new retro Adidas home kit recently released by the Gunners for the 2019-2020 campaign.

Arsenal XI will face Boreham Wood in a pre-season friendly at Meadow Park on Saturday, July 6 and Nwakali is in contention to play in the game in what would be his debut for the North London club.

Since Nwakali's arrival at the Emirates Stadium in the summer of 2016, he has been farmed out on loan to MVV Maastricht, VVV Venlo and Porto.

Rohr when quizzed on the iedeal of the fantastic youngsters (Osimhen, Chukwueze and especially Onyekuru) he has hasn't given opportunities or enough opportunities so far in this AFCON;


"Of course we would like to see other players but sometimes the attitude of the players in the training sessions, general attitude, they show us that they are not ready for such a big game." angry

Which yeye attitude the man dey talk about here? That was the same language he used to hang Iheanacho

I used to like and defend Rohr, but I now see him as a grumpy old man looking for excuses for his tactical ineptitude. When he started with Nacho, I said to myself, when Nacho was saving his old white ass with goals, he didn't see him as not serious.
Just imagine this man saying some hard-working players who've done so well this season in their various clubs are suddenly not serious. If I say I no tire for Rohr, my nose for don long pass Pinocchio own.

U are just being hypocritical here...

The other day you were saying that Onauchu shouldn't have made the AFCON list ahead of Awoniyi because the Danish league where Onauchu plays is ranked lower than the Belgian league.. but suddenly u changed gear to UEFA competition... Nonsense!
Let Kayode hit form again before u start clamouring for his recall..And when he gets called up do well to remind him to take his chance.

FC Midtjylland has never played in the UEFA Champions League group stage for once. What is your senseless and baseless argument all about?

Danish league is not just a lower league, it's a an obscure league that is not even among the top 20 clubs in Europe.

When did you see me clamour for Kayode on that my post? You are just grasping for straw.

I still think we would do better with the right foreign coach instead of going local. The man management and selection bias will ways remain our undoing with local coaches no matter how much exposure they have to how things should be done.

Amunike as a no 2 under a rijkaard or someone of that sort of standing is what I would opt for.

Why do I feel VAR might bring disaster to this ongoing Afcon tourney. We all witness what happens at the ongoing Women's world cup. If the Europeans can't utilize VAR effectively and efficiently, what made CAF think we can use it in the correct manner? An example is what happened at the CAFCL final.

U are d one here without common sense...If u had any,u would have stuck with the UEFA coefficient ranking U used to argue that Onauchu shouldn't have made the afcon squad ahead of Awoniyi. the same UEFA coefficient ranking u used to argue with Thegoodjoe that Babayaro wasn't better than Taiwo .
Who cares if Kayode is playing in the champions league (as if he contributed to shaktar qualification self)?
Let him perform where he is and he will be considered!

It's still part of the UEFA coefficient ranking. An ignoramus like you will not understand that the points garnered while playing in the UEFA Champions League determines a club's UEFA coefficient ranking. Sharktar Donetsk didn't bribe their way to the top.

You can see how senseless and uninformed your statements are again.

Try to put on your reasoning cap before making senseless, uninformed, baseless and emotional comments next time you come on public forum.

I refrained from dropping Comments since we lost to the Madagascans, coz I wanna avoid being tagged along with; I told you so Crew.

I remember I was the first to call Rohr - white Onighinde after his woeful tactical performance at the World. Rohr is simply good at man-management, tactically he's as same as Aigbogun.

Also, when I said I was still sceptical of Ighalo scoring prowess, I was almost e-lynched. Guess Ighalo has justified his scoring prowess?!

Surprisingly, no one is talking of Rohr and his Boys ish. Had it been Siasia that played a recuperating Kalu at the Expense of a fit Onyekuru/Chukwueze, we wouldn't have read any other Updates on this Thread, except Allegations flying around and condemnation of indigenous Coach, for at least a Week.

I wish the Team best of luck in the next Match.

Sterling is not better than Zaha he's just playing in a better team with a better coach

I'll agree with the other two though

You need to make s distinction between dribbling technical skills and even general show boating and the most IMPORTANT THING which is. END PRODUCT.

In this regard irrespective of team Raheem is a better player.

Regardless of what happens going forward, Rorh should be sacked.

He lacks ambition, he is clueless and his team doesn't know how to score.

Every coach has a weakness that's why you hire experts to help in areas they are not so good at. Amunike is still learning the rope and soon or later he will coach super eagles.

Yes! He is still learning the rope hence the need to allow him continue his learning process with other teams before he even think of becoming Nigeria's coach.

He still has a very long way to go.

Frank Rijkaard.... Hmmm... He is no longer connected to the beautiful game since his decision to quit football management in 2014 I think. But if he can be lured, fine. But again, he's not been active. Is that a risk we are willing to take?

Apart from all that... An active/reactivated Rijkaard is a great tactical coach and man manager and should be able to work well alongside amuneke. Not a bad choice too. Only that the man has left football.

Nobody is over hyping them. We know what can happen if you have these youngsters and use them very well. Not playing Chukwueze as 10 or Iwobi a winger while Onyekuru is there.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

But I can tell you what they can not do.

First of they are not the best team players, Onyekuru and Chukwueze will not back track and give any defensive cover. There off the ball movement is not good.

You will not get any quality crosses for your light weight forward Osimhen to receive.

Chukwueze will hug the ball trying to dribble everybody. Onyekuru is a bit more mature but similar.

There will be no HOLD UP PLAY.

As a forward line it would be disastrous causing the entire team to loose cohesion. With too much pressure being put on the midfield they may resort to Long ball police game. To get out of trouble.

IMO in this very physical based game in the AFCON, I would play Onuachu and Ighalo.

Mikel or Ogu but never the both just too slow and lethargic and can't keep up with the pace of the current high paced game in this AFCON. I would prefer if both were dropped to be honest as subs.

Which is our best winger at crossing the ball He would be first choice. But l really don't know which one. Nobody has been impressive, one of the primary function of winger and or wing back is to cross the ball. But we seem to have forgotten that.
