Iwobi is a playermaker eze isn't that why he is having more goals than assist
Iwobi will rather assists for his team than to score a goal
Iffu you ask me that a very good attribute of a good attacking midfielder
Iwobi gives more accurate pass than eze
Iwobi keeps his work simple so he doesn't dribble unnecessary just nutmeg his opponent to get the counter attack moving

OK bro.

gotta slp. gudnyt

Is it rugby or baseball they are playing in the SE?
Is it not club performance that determine your invite to the NT?

It like you're comparing man city to athletico madrid their playing style is different that why onuachu score goal in Denmark than Nigeria so can you say In Denmark they're playing rugby try to comprehend the argument abegi
Iwobi pattern/styles fits SE better than eze

You just proved my point he get tired coz of his mad work rate go and watch the match against Liverpool then you'll understand this better
You think it easy to run around around the pitch for 90 minutes working haha SE is based around iwobi coz no midfielder can link the midfield with the attack he has a very huge responsibility on him
Does Iwobi works harder than kante or our own Ndidi? How come they don't get tired just like Iwobi despite their workrate and hardly gets substituted? Iwobi gets easily tired simply because he is not strong enough to play 90mins and not because of any work done.
And for your information, Eze has contributed 12 goals and 8 assist this season from his midfield position, so how has he achieved this feet with your insinuation that he spends all his time on the field dribbling and showboating?
And if we are to go with stats, Eze is currently the highest scoring Nigeria midfielder in the whole of Europe this season and he is 4th, including strickers only to Dessers, Osimhen and Umar. You think this is a bad stat?

Iwobi plays in Everton eze plays in QPR the standard is different
In arsenal iwobi has created a lot number of chances for arsenal if not because Aubmeyang and lacazette were wasteful he should be a few assist away from De bruyne
Let me break it up for you QPR plays more of possessive game they don't initiate attack mostly from the midfield they can initiate attack effectively from the flanks
Eze doesn't have responsibility on him he can chose to create and not to
But iwobi doesn't have a choice the linking of the midfield to the attack solely depends he just have to create chance and he has been doing well in that
Show me Four instance where Nigeria initiated a counter attack and iwobi is not involve and I can give more than 10 instance that eze was not even involve for QPR when initiating a quick play

Lastly you can compare Ndidi to Iwobi Ndidi does a few or nothing offensive iwobi drops back for and attack for you how many attacking midfielder can cross the ball for you (aribo goal against ukraine comes to mind )mainly coz they operate in the center half of the field

Very public knowledge that Napoli were indeed substantively in for Victor or had made actual contact with Victor hinting at a strong offer at the time I reported it? grin Hahahahahaha. I don't think so mister. Even you didn't know a thing about that in detail. Just admit it.

You took it way too seriously by singling out my "inner sources" comment on the lad's Napoli links just in a bid to mock but as you can see, it was highly unnecessary on your part as I have been proven right. Everything else was just about time.

You really goofed big time by mockingly tagging my info wrong. My inner sources were right all along on the Napoli links and offer being whispered and my report of it was spot on even in the light of several outlets calling it fake.

I knew it was all about the lad wanting to wrap up his family matter having not agreed anything "official" yet but the fact remains contact from Napoli was indeed made, some details of the deal verbally mentioned and confirmed early from very reliable inner sources I am in contact with.

And oh, even the Lille president confirms that a substantive offer from the EPL too came in for Osimhen. But it obviously or probably wasn't up to the club's true valuation of the player.

Admitting you were mistaken and quick to mock my "inner sources" talk won't bite off your fingers. Anyway, moving on. smiley




komekn:


It seems you take this way too seriously.

All it says is that no other team particularly in the EPL presented a substantive offer for him. And in the advent or no offers you accept what you get.

It doesn't mean you have some unique outstanding insight, it's very public knowledge.

As things stand in this deal, especially with early reports of Osimhen's obvious preference for England even as he headed to Naples for final talks before his ultimate decision is made, it is clear that the ball strongly rests in Osimhen's court. If at this end of this, he doesn't feel he should go through with the Napoli deal, he won't. And if he feels he should go through with it, then he would eventually.

Napoli have been on his case for well more than a month now from couple of sources, checks and reports and It all comes down to the lad as always even though his club (Lille) is also trying to do business. Victor has a decision to make even with negotiations said to be going on fine as at last check via Gianluca Di Marzio and co.

In the end, I trust he will make the decision best for his career at this point as he enters a new phase in his life just after the passing of his Dad. And I personally believe this Napoli move will do him great indeed and take him into a higher level. I know not many rate Genaro "Rino" Gattuso as he is still relatively new to the coaching game but from what I have seen so far, I think he and Osimhen will make a fine match.

As already reported by a few here, Mikel Agu was immense for his side, Vitoria Guimaraes as they defeated Vitoria Setubal 2-0 in a Portuguese Liga NOS fixture.

He bagged an assist and had an overall solid game.

Bright Edomwonyi came on as a 74th min sub for Austria Wien in the Austrian Bundesliga to notch the winning goal that earned his side a 2-1 away win at Altach.
Nice impact off the bench for the lad. That was his second goal for the side and a really important one it was.

yeah, really.

This guy should have been the first African coaching a team in the top 10 European leagues and with the opportunity to move higher with time, but, lack of tact got him undone.

Just like Etebo and at the end he will add nothing to the SE, also just like Etebo. Major reason I have never vouch for Ejaria, I think I am contended with a SE midfield 3 of Ndidi, Aribo and Iwobi

And I thought I was the only one who finds Etebo's excessive hugging of the ball annoying.

If somebody would have told you that an English league one player in the name of Aribo. Would come in and claim jersey immediately with such impact.

I am sure you would say NEVER not good enough.

My approach is very simple invitation is not selection, when you perform you get selected.

But what some people prefer is no competition so that there is no competition for thier preferred player.

From what I can see Tosin Adarabioyo is arguably better than all of our CB's. I had once felt Dominic Iorfa was the most outstanding among the Nigerian origin defenders here in England but Tosin has gone ahead of him for now.

Was Aribo still at League 1 when he made his debut for the SE?

Exactly my point. He's obviously not fit enough. He's been poor since the resumption.

Setien left Griezmann training for more than half an hour only to bring him in on the 90th minute grin

I don't know neither do I can stats possess by Etebo in matches Donning the GWG, what I know is that Etebo does and contribute nothing to the SE midfield.
A midfielder that doesn't controls the midfield, neither does he scores nor assist, is that one not excess baggage?
