He was good when he was healthy. A good player that the coach admired highly. Every one has their favorites.
He missed the Olympic final

Re: Raphael Onyedika

He’s looked good all season with positional wisdom and good passing. The guy is still only 22. I really think he’ll be our starting No 6 by this time next year in a double pivot alongside either Onyeka or Ndidi. His goals yesterday were calmly taken and well placed. Hopefully he’ll get a chance in a...

Re: Nsien Interview -

I’m honestly disappointed with that interview. Naive to start criticising the old regime when you haven’t even got the job. Comes off as a novice. He’s right about the set-up in AFCON but that’s not the kind of thing you go into. He’s clearly playing a PR game but again comes off as an amateur. As f...

Re: The 'cat' with nine lives: Ebuehi and Collins get yet another call up. .....

Ebuehi stunk the joint up in his last SE outing. I had him as easily the worst person on the field.

To be honest, he looks a talent and has had a few good games for the SE, but I don’t know that I see him as important for the future and I would be looking form younger players with more of an upside.

Re: BREAKING: Peseiro quits as SE coach

No big loss. He did well getting to AFCON final.
Nigeria also refurbished his reputation. He was a failure until us.

The big problem now is the FA will of course make a hash of appointing his replacement.
