Re: Pep Guardiola ‘does not like African Players" - Yaya Tou

Pep strikes me as the cerebral awkward type. Not very communicative or transparent with his players and tends to make decisions about players on non-footballing grounds non African players e.g Zlatan have accused him of freezing them out for undisclosed personal reasons that does not make him a raci...

Re: Ola Aina, Mikel refuse to be standby players in Super Ea

Iz okay! When your coach looks you in the eye and says you can stay and train with the team, one type of player will stay, the other will go. Don't they have to keep in shape up until 24hrs before first game? Just think a player that stays, buys himself some credit with the coach and FA that may be...

Re: Nigeria's JMO-Sized Tactical Conundrum

Rohr refused to give Azubuike an opportunity or look for a replacement Holding midfielder to fill the gap vacacted by Mikel when he got moved into the AM role Instead he wasted friendlies trying out different variations of the same player - Onazi, Agu, Ogu, Joel Obi, Ndidi etc i.e.. box to box midfi...

Re: Nigeria's JMO-Sized Tactical Conundrum

Contrary to what had become an established role at the heart of central midfield, Siasia would field John Mikel Obi (JMO) higher upfield, behind Sadiq Umar, the central striker, but in front of the two central midfielders, Azubuike and Etebo get basic facts right if you want to be taken seriously S...

Re: I am glad for Joel Obi making the final 23

I guess its hope and pray time for this team. Decision was made pre-England game and Rohr was not gonna renage. The Joel and Onazi I saw yesterday will lay eggs with any serious team and one or both should gave been dropped. I wish them luck but they are thin in midfield with those two. A red blood...

Re: Joel Obi and Eddy Onazi Cannot Go To Russia

Against England I saw Joel pass to Moses and instead of making himself available for the return pass as a midfielder he ran behind an opposite team...
