TheSuperNerd:
Henry Onyekuru is not having it good in France.

From being on the bench to being left out of the matchday squad.
He is not in the matchday squad for today as Monaco take on Montpellier in Ligue 1.

He's injured sir

Reigning Young player of the month in the Dutch Eredivisie, Chidera Ejuke starts as usual for SC Heerenven vs PEC Zwolle.

TheSuperNerd:
Samuel Kalu not in match day squad for Bordeaux in their Ligue 1 away tie at Toulouse.

Josh Maja on the bench.

Something must be wrong . Either he picked up a knock or he has illness.

Well, that explains his absence altogether for today but he has not been featuring. The bench has become his home recently in France and it is not nice for his NT career.

No nice at all.

If things doesn't improve, he better seek for a loan move by January. Afterall, Monaco is a king of Loaning players, so he won't have problems getting approval

Who dey Chelsea ?

So Reece James ,tomori ,Abraham ,mason mount will start at Leicester abi ?

You where thinking I will involve the likes of Jorginho and kante and co ?

Kepa is not even better than Leicester goal keeper self

You must be a very sentimental person. You just started reeling out our young players names as if they are basically in our first 11. Aside from Man city Chelsea has the best midfield in EPL Kante,Jorginho,Kovasic,Rueben loftus Check,Mount( who by the way has been a revelation so far and has 3 goals to his name already). The only players that can try would probably be Madison,Ben Chillwell and Vardy. Chelsea are unfortunate to have lots of unfit players but that doesn't mean that Leicester has a better team and you saying otherwise is just being sentimental.

Sorry I wouldn't want to derail this thread. I rest my case.

Over 70% of Nigerians live below the poverty line. Add to that children of the rich are usually locked up behind the high walls either reading or doing assignments while the children of the poor are allowed to roam about the streets. The streets, that's where they Develop their football skills.

Let me use your last line to press a point.

The bolded right here is where the problem of our football stems from. Street football cannot fly in this era. Football is now an intellectual exercise. That's why academies have taken over. It is not for nothing that this era is tagged the era of the coaches.

Many European greats like Puskas, Eusebio, Cruyff, etc honed their skills on the streets but as usual oyibo man will not rest and will keep refining the system. Thus from the mid 80s academies began popping up in this countries and now they are everywhere.

Even Brazil does not rely on street anymore.

Imagine going for a competition involving the intellect and just because in the past everybody brought street to the competition, you continue to do so even now while your competitors bring in people trained in academies. Omo dem go win una tire.

I like street football oo, very much. I even prefer it but the reality is that that era is gone.

Meanwhile in the Wafu cup.... It is halftime.

Cape Verde 0-0 Nigeria CHAN Eagles

You are right.

Especially now that football now has textbook like rules that you can't learn on the streets. You have to be in a proper academy to learn some of those rules.

For instance, you won't learn on the streets that there is no Offside during throw in, but a proper academy will teach you. So as a street footballer defender, you might want to be keeping offside trap during a long throw scenario, but your opponent went into a position, and you think he's offside till he scores. This is just one of those numerous scenarios

that's a good one... hope they maintain the lead...

Why do Liverpool and Everton fans hate each other so much?

Ibrahim Sanusi looks like the real deal. Could be another Etebo in the making.

Heerenveen forward Chidera Ejuke who has been voted the best U21 player in the Netherlands for the month of September has hinted of his availability for Nigeria when the U23s take on the rest of Africa at the U23 Africa Cup of Nations for a spot in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

Ejuke has taken the league in the Netherlands by storm since his arrival in the summer from Norwegian side Valerenga with four goals to his name aside the title of having completed the most dribbles than any player in the Dutch top division.

He is no doubt an integral player at the club and despite the U23 AFCON coming at the business end of the season, the 21 year old has hinted that he will be available if called up by coach Imama Amapakabo.

” I am sure we can work it out if I am called up. For now I have not received any invitation when it comes I am sure the news will be positive for all”, Ejuke told Owngoalnigeria.com.

Nigeria is grouped alongside Ivory Coast, Zambia and South Africa in the group stages of the tournament which will take place in Egypt with the top three teams at the end of the tournament securing a spot to the football event of the 2020 Olympics.

Useless league
Mumu pundit already saying they will win the league this season
Bias league

What your prob? Did you want an upset caused on my bet?

andrew444:
Most Chelsea players won’t start in this team I know what I am saying

If this Maddison go Chelsea say na mason mount abi Na Hudson odoi go bench am abi ?

Hehehehehehe! You don't know much about Mount. Mount will bench him. There is another player currently injured, he will bench both.

No Leicester city player will bench Chelsea's first team save Vardy. Take that to the bank.

andrew444:
This is the most painful game I have watched this season

Liverpool doesn’t deserve to win this game useless game

Epl and cheat

Useless league

Halftime in Cyprus. Uzoho and Omonia playing goalless away at Pafos.

Semi Ajayi and West Brom move to the top of the Championship after their 4-2 home win over Cardiff.

West Brom have been so phenomenal this season... Ajayi is a very lucky dude.

Nigeria 1-1 Cape Verde

ChrisKels:


Bros there are many of them oo where dey stand a good chance but they are never moved. There is dis boy that plays for Sassuolo, Frank Adjepong or something, there is Adjei Antwi whose goals got Paderbon to the Bundesliga, also look at this Southampton new boy that got a red in his first match

Forget, didn't they fight for the boateng brothers?

Then this guy from arsenal who played alongside Henry, I've forgotten his name.

They also failed to play desailly and the asamoah who played for Germany at the 2002 world cup.

seankafor:
these stats are useless in so far as they still lost.
Football is a team game and it's a win or nothing..

By the way Leicester soaked most of the pressure so its expected for their tackle and defensive abilities to showcase

Individual stats and records exist bro. And they're relevant also.

I don't know whether to blame Imama or the players.

Something is definitely wrong with that team.

Is Samuel Kalu injured? He is not on Bordeaux match day squad and that's strange.
