Re: Samu vs Roma: Lookman vs Liverpool : Boniface and he scores vs Westham

Vic B has not had a great game. A couple of errant passes and then just blazed over the sort of stuff he always buries. Does not matter though, they are going through to semi’s and still undefeated.

You cannot lose something you never had. Saka is an Englishman with Naija parents.

Sour grapes. Vic has had a hell of game. Involved in at least 3 of the goals if I am not mistaken.

Re: FINIDI GEORGE IS A TERRIBLE COACH

I always think the coach has the right to field his team. I am a big Finidi (the player) fan. That said two things bothered me about the two Finidi games 1) The narrative that he is our best winger ever and at one time the best in the world does not mean he will be a great coach.

Re: Kelechi Nwakali…

You are right there fella. Eguavoen and other SE coaches told Nwakali to create only 13 assists in 8 years, and to get booked 3-4 times as much as he assists. They also forced him to spend 95+% of his career playing for reserve and 2nd division teams. If that’s what you think; has it ever crossed y...

I am not sure he has been abandoned. He was not called up this time. He is young. He is good. It is too early to say he does not get other call ups. We have also occasionally “abandoned” some players we capped.

Re: Our Osimhen is better than Halaand

Still wondering why Haaland didn't use his head for that missed chance. His misses are even worse than the ones Osimhen missed at AFCON. At the end of the day, they both score a ton of goals. Put the misses behind and keep playing. Haaland did get his goal today. Vic also gets his goals. Both are t...

Re: Our Osimhen is better than Halaand

He is a great striker but my gosh week after week I see seen him miss an open net. Today against Man U from 1 yard! If Victor missed that Bushboy would yearn until the end of the world. Bottom line even the greatest strikers miss.

Re: Osimhen doubt for SA game

A half fit Osimhen is a big risk. I would start with Moffi. Who has better ball skills and is a superior finisher. Why do you always make stuff up when google is just a click away. they have almost identical shot conversion rates and shots on target per 90 minutes (footystats.org). But Osimhen scor...

Re: ademola lookman the 2nd best SE

I’m surprised that people haven’t figured that Lookman’s game doesn’t translate well into the SE set up and that’s why he has struggled playing for SE. He’s not a 442 type winger, he can’t play over Simon in a 433, he can play as SS but that position requires a lot more graft for SE. :roll: This ma...
