Unfortunately we don't. Our view of him is based on his past performances.

Very proud of my SE today. I wish Keshi could continue but with the NFF I'm sure that will not happen. Who do you feel will take over? We need someone who will be mature to recognise what Keshi has done while improving the team. Who is your preferred replacement? Oliseh? Siasia? Amokachi? Manu Garb...

Reuben Gabriel is just not a player ready to play at this level. I thought Mikel was playing fairly well in this game, tbh, but Gabriel just provided nothing unfortunately. True. The game was lost the moment Gabriel came in for Onazi. Azeez was all dressed to come on. I don't know why Keshi changed...

I was in tears when he was subbed, my wife was asking why. Told her it was just so obvious that without him our midfield was gone. He's the pivot of midfield.

That should tell people who is our most important midfielder.

Being himself. Thank God for Onazi, but Oshaniwa is feeling Obi's absence.

Already have him down as the Man of the Match!

Are you joking?! He's been doing that in the previous 3 games.

How a man who's not turning up for work can be accused of being overworked remains one if life's greatest mysteries. Thank you. The Obi delusion continues. So many excuses on his behalf, he's overworked, he's a DM not an AM, he needs a pure DM behind him so he can be effective etc. The plain truth ...

Mikel balled in the 2nd half, sotey bobo height one agentina player the entire stadium went wild 8-) After Messi went off?? Mikel decides to start playing, he even starts running as well, had a glorious opportunity to equalise but the passes, sorry Mikel needs to step up, he will not get anymore ch...

After today's performance, anyone that still questions Babatunde's inclussion in the squad or his selction in this games does not know jack. Keshi got it right on this Kid, and he earned his spot. If a Godfather forced him on the team then we need more of such Godfathers. The boy is a baller and ca...

The guy tried but is this really the type of balleryou want for the SE? He has good technique and a good shot but he can't beat anybody one on one and is brushed of the ball too easilly. Did you watch the game? :shock: Beating people one on one was something he did quite a few times and rather easi...

It pains me to ask if Mikel is a factor in this team. His lackadaisical play and show of 'bigmanism' is worrisome. Tends to be too delibrate and show no appetite for attack intended passes. In short I believe he slows down our game to the advantage of the opposition. Like I said, it's painful but I...

Average player. Didn't add much to the game. Was more or less invisible except for the one move where he beat 2 and had a direct shot at goal. And for Keshi to add Ezeonyi who didn't sniff the ball for the 20 mins he was on says alot about his tactical acumen. My broda, the guy tried. He showed som...

He did well, very well. Can't believe I just typed that!

Na wa o. This boys nearly gave me a heart attack. Anyway, congrats. Hope something will be done about the midfield for the Argentina game.

....so far

Omeruo for me.

I agree.

Mikel?

Super Eagle wrote:Like I have been saying forever, our players lack fitness. Emenike is down as well.

Who's Keshi's fitness trainer??

Yet all some people can see is Babatunde. Mikel has been a virtual passenger most of the game.

balo wrote:Onazi is in the thick of it all while Mikel is strolling around like a boss.

I agree. There's a very good player in there, hope CE and Naija fans give him time to find his feet. He could be a good number 10 if there are two solid DMs behind him.

Cellular wrote:Babatunde has earned his start

Thank you. You summarised Obi perfectly. To say Mikel has had a torrid first half is an understatement!! Something is not right. It is shocking. if people are still wondering why he is played as a dm, you all can see it there. i have been saying for ages he has no lungs , has nothing to do with trai...
