Re: FINIDI GEORGE: He has Gumption.....
After a thorough, objective assessment of the AFCON, could it simply be ... 1. Nigeria could NOT play a more attacking formation because of Ekong? Due to the dependency of Ekong, and his lack of pace, Nigeria could not afford to play a high press. A high press is needed to keep the team block highe...

Re: Benjamin Tanimu's SE Debut vs Ghana (Highlights)
I really like how he is always making those moves to receive the ball - not shying away from the ball. Also a very good passer especially those long-range ones. Well done on putting this video together

Re: Nwabili's Injury . . .
BUt sadly, he is right, it is hoped the injury is not serious but some of us were saying they should call the Arsenal U-20 goalie or even Ayo Akinfe to be reserve goalie, anyone but Uzoho

Re: WHO ELSE DIDNT SHAKE YESTERDAY ?
Same here, it is all just a game of football - you win some, you lose some, the players give their best, and whatever happens, happens but yes the early display was reassuring and Nwabili radiated that calmness to everyone

Re: Okonkwo open to switching nationality from England to Nigeria
Ok DD, you make good points and you are right - it's high time the meritocracy regime takes over - but I won't hold my breath for the NFF nor the society at large. Please dont hold your breath. I can guarantee you that you and I are in the very small minority. Very small! I expect Okonkwo and other...

Re: Okonkwo open to switching nationality from England to Nigeria
Danfo D makes a good point and I share his meritocracy sentiments - but for the goalkeeper position - I think our options are very dire. Therefore, while Okonkwo is an Arsenal player on "loan" to division 4 Wrxham - he should be called up. Not because he is foreign-born, nor because he pla...

Re: Arsenal 20yo declares international allegiance
Some one call Peseiro and get that boy on a flight to Dubai asap, don't even need to see any highlight - with all that training from being with Arsenal from U-9, he would be a great improvement on the present keeper

Mourinho on Netflix series - Playbook
I really enjoyed watching the Netflix series Playbook - just watched episodes 1 and 3. 3 is about Mourinho. His story of hiding inside the laundry basket is really funny. If you haven't seen it yet, give it a go. It's just 30mins long.

Re: ASHLEIGH PLUMPTRE
Most people with that mentality about penalties have never stepped up to a penalty on a full-size pitch with the goal post in view and a proper goalkeeper. The football goalpost is not as wide nor as high as most spectators imagine and trust me - 12 yards is quite a way away. As I keep pounding into...

Pep says he learns from De Zerbi at Brighton
I agree completely with Pep. Every coach needs to learn from what De Zerbi is doing at Brighton. What Pep said about waiting for the opponent to move before passing is so cool to watch. On an unrelated note, hope Mr. Big Sam Allardyce learns that he doesn't feature in the big scheme of things regard...
