Mehn that Gabriel Magallaes lad is one of my favorite young CBs in world football today. Followed him at Lille and wanted him at Napoli too. He is young but he has a high ceiling. Lad is very good. He will make some mistakes as this is his first season but on the overall, the boy is a baller CB abeg. Don't mind our in-house Southgate. That one no dey appreciate anything outside England. You should not be stunned if he tells us English League One is of better quality than Ligue 1. grin

he's an upgrade on luiz to me as the centre of a back 3. Highest pass today among all players. The only think now is thoe pinpoint passes straight up to the attack that Luiz is know for. Im sure he'd do that.


As for the crappy better quality talk....over to you, Matthias. grin

hope you are watching the fraud of a player (onomah). No football sense, no pace,. He is just playing aimlessly. He can't start for the super eagle.
0I barely saw him today. Nacho sef would do a more impressive job as 10 of deployed there. Sotey na flanks all their attacks ended. With that Kamara sweating and panting.

Wrong. Akas was really Sunday Oliseh's player, he captained his chan squad. Chima got his debut under Amokachi in 2015 against Ivory coast's main team when Yaya said he couldn't believe he was playing an homebase squad.

Only Iheanacho has a better left foot in Nigeria

One of the best games I have watched in a long time and Marcelo Bielsa made me proud with his Leeds team.

They should not feel bad with the loss but keep marching with their refreshing brand of football.

I hope people can see that a team that wants to grow fast will focus on playing in a brave fashion.

Papa Rhor, all I will say is see your mate.
Can they maintain this intensity for a whole season?? Remember Bielsa likes having a small squad so I'm not too sure.
If they sign the likes of Rodrigo De Paul then they might stay up.
Norwich tried to play good football last season and got destroyed.

Funny u. Akas was captain of the Chan team under Oliseh. Got his debut under Amokachi when Yaya toure said he couldn't believe that the team he faced were all homebase.


Oliseh was the only coach to use him in a Main SE match. Which was Swaziland second leg.

It should not be surprising in my opinion Marco Bielsa is one of the best footballing managers in th world.

Pep described him as his mentor.

He has not had the best players or decided to spend huge amounts of money on players.

He is a great tactician too.

Marcelo Bielsa is "absolutely at the top of the list" as a manager, says Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

'He's the best coach in the world' - Guardiola hails Bielsa

I was not surprised. I expected it, considering how he used some kids to outplay a top quality Manchester united side under Alex Ferguson when Bielsa coached Bilbao.

I just hope they sharpen their cutting edge in front of goal.

I think they can because they are in their third season playing at this intensity. They might suffer some burn out due to the increased intensity of the epl but I feel they will cope in the long run.

Yes, he has been wearing the #15 jersey since his first game in preseason. Llorente was in camp with the #9 so Vic picked 15 for preseason use. He is expected to finally dorn the #9 once season proper begins.

In training, he wears any number like #7, or #18 but uses #15 for preseason games for the above stated reason.
