You make sense bros

komekn:


In that moi moi league.

With low quality teams.

Good morning House

on Jamilu Collins

I've read the back and forth between Thesupernerd and other monickers on the fellow and this is my two cents

Collins is not as bad as alot of people here want to paint him to be

Yeah,we need an upgrade but Idowu?? Really??

sha,every mallam with him kettle

against Benin Republic, he was beaten too easily by a fast winger, speed ain't his strength.. but other than that,He hardly did anything wrong in that match

Defensively, He cleared alot of balls and the Beninese couldn't get past him

and Offensively, ask any one who watched the match,he was a Darling to watch.. he created about three chances plus he had this solo run whereby he nutmegged a player and dribbled past the second.. He was unlucky not to have an assist there


like i said, Yes he is not the best out there

But he is certainly not as bad as painted


long Live this thread.... long live the super eagles.. long live Nigeria

darkelf:


But odey plays regularly.

See, Nacho is even behind Ayize Perez. Of vardy injures today, Perez would be starting at that position. How can someone be behind vardy and yet has just 2 starts??. Let's be honest, Brendan tells the media one thing (praises nacho) but does another (just 2 starts). You sef, think am now

There’s a lot of talk on Benzema potentially playing for Algeria. To do so, he’d have to terminate his French nationality (annul his citizenship). Thoughts?

TheSuperNerd:



Here is a screenshot below... 4 goals, 8 caps. The games Osimhen has played are well documented on same site as with other sources also.

Joebie:
oga his campaign in Europe has been pretty decent. At least he held his own in the their home loss to Man U.

LaMujer:
watching our highlights now, i am just imagining what would have been of Aina, had he chosen the 3 lions

jihday:
Don't also forget that prior to the world cup Ideye was a liability for the team always missing goals

Humility017:


they're also other graduate assistants tho....

komekn:


He would be playing for Chelsea and on £100k a week, and being hailed as the next best LB for England possibly.

In reality nobody can tell with football.

Joebie:
Speak for urself oga. Which one be ‘we’?
When I predict top 3 for Naija before AFCON start, that one na prophet of doom? Yeye talk lol

komekn:


I should say possibly because it will be a friendly and to be honest anything can happen.

However, in a tournament settings it becomes a Totally different situation.

Do you remember when we dismissed Denmark in the 1998 Workd cup and we were thoroughly flogged and disgraced by them.

darkelf:
On another note. What are the chances of the Super Eagles if we should play the following teams (in a friendly or tournament)?

1. England

2. Portugal

3. Croatia

4. Austria

5. Denmark

Let me not be biased and negatively subjective.

Why would you consider Ozonwafor ❓ Irrespective of club and league.

Using my never ending proposition for identification.

Has he been consistently consistent with top class outstanding performances for clubland league over time.

Because you have said he is better than Uduokhai and Iorfa. I personally don't think Uduokhai is better than Iorfa from the few times l have watched him play.

I am curious know what your view is which is mostly objective.

Adarabioyo has been dissapointing from day one IMO playing pretty football at Man city. It simply doesn't prepare for the harsh reality of physically intense football in the EPL and Championship.

Not surprisingly Adarabioyo was woeful at WBA he has gone to a struggling Blackburn. Where it is all hands on deck and he may have learned very quickly.

I say this because first time I really watched Tomori playing RB for Hull city he was average if not below. Now he has improved so much in one season he is playing for England.

Players improve with time although not all.

There’s a lot of talk on Benzema potentially playing for Algeria. To do so, he’d have to terminate his French nationality (renounce his citizenship). Thoughts?

You supriseme with this comment.

Tell me what team in the EPL will buy a striker who has scored 5 goals over three seasons in the EPL.

Then add his huge transfer fee and wage demands.

I think he may decide to run his contract down because nobody will pay £15 million for him now.

Championship clubs will look at him as not suited and or good enough if they have promotion ambitions.

So Turkey is his best bet at the moment so he may get half of his current pay but because of the favourable tax regime. He may end up with the same money.

Furthermore, the football thier is not as taxing and he may be able to score once again.

TheSuperNerd:
The Bank-on Candidates to be Osimhen's genuine back-up especially as regards how we play in attack now...

The "bonafide" options:

- David Okereke

- Sadiq Umar

- Peter Olayinka

- Cyriel Dessers

- Kelechi Iheanacho (once that January move happens and he gets playing again and keeps showing good form)







The Dark horse Option(s); In with a chance probably in the long run if they step things up:

- Stephen Odey

- Josh Maja

- Taiwo Awoniyi





The "Manage-manage/mediocre" options (Not suited to how we play in attack):

- Ebere Paul Onuachu

- Simy Nwankwo

- Anthony Ujah

darkelf:




I'll update the list soon.

Some research fellows and visiting professors would be included

andrewbaba44:


And he was crucial at the 2013 afcon with emenike

There is nothing like liability

Which player no dey miss goal ?

Is uchebo or nwofor better than him or shola ameobi who is already washed out ?

kellycute:
tomori played only 8 minute for England and they did all that just to cap tied him. If he get up to 5 caps for England, he should go to any pentecostal church to give testimony.

You have a point these players were not better but dropping Ideye wasn't calamitous, nobody made a fuss about him being dropped
