Re: Nigeria vs Cameroon (0-0)

Aina is the best fullback in Nigeria.

There was nothing in that YouTube clip. I'm not saying he is or is t good. But nothing from that YouTube clip suggested he was one way or the other.

Re: That spat between Nacho and Boniface

I don't think it was that big a deal. Boniface was unnecessary charged up and tried to drag the ball from a Zimbabwe player while the other Zimbabwe players were arguing with the ref about the call. Nacho as captain, rightfully tried to tell Bonfice to calm down and stay out of the argument between...

Re: Uzoho

Who are our other options? Its not enough to say a guy is not good. We first have to identify better options. Make we name them for paper.

He was the one telling us how Collins "performed" against Lesotho a few days ago. :lol: I am tired of this fanbase. Yes, because he did. Or did you not watch the game? Was I supposed to base my judgments of his performance on something other than the actual game he played? Abeg! Stick to ...

Re: FT: Zimbabwe 1 vs Nigeria 1

Players take different times to acclimatize to international football. That is however not a question of a lack of ability. Its a function of management Sure. But you are bound to miss the point when you use general terms like "lack of ability." Because the claim is not that any particula...

Re: FT: Zimbabwe 1 vs Nigeria 1

Right! But this does not undermine my point. There are obvious answer to why a bunch of players at different clubs play well at club level but don't do so well for the national team. The perpetual LC-ist Danfo pointed out that Lookman plays at striker at his club but gets played as a winger for Nig...

Re: FT: Zimbabwe 1 vs Nigeria 1

Boniface has been sensational for the top team in the Bundesliga. Lookman was Atalanta's top performer last season and he has been in good form this year. Awoniyi and Aina have been good for Forest, Moffi had an amazing season last year, Kelechi has been good for Leicester. These are clearly decent...

Re: FT: Zimbabwe 1 vs Nigeria 1

Hold on, does this man make 70,000 dollars a month? Did I hear that correctly? I know he hasnt ben paid a dime yet, but he is supposed to earn 70,000 a month? Now 50K with renewed contract… Yikes! I suppose you have to pay him comparably to what the better players on the team get at club level.

Re: FT: Zimbabwe 1 vs Nigeria 1

Again, I have not been watching most of this particular set of players as closely at club level. But as I have long ago noted, an athletic player can excel in a team full of less athletic players who are technically superior to the athlete. So, you put a superior athlete with deficiencies in his ga...

Re: FT: Zimbabwe 1 vs Nigeria 1

This will get pushback from the usual FC/LC pundits but I dont think this is a coaching issue at it's core: 1. I don't see great coaching at the national level generally speaking. 2. So, while our coach is not great, he is on par woth all the other below to average managers on the Continent. So at ...

The keeper is poor. But that is just a well taken shot that may beat even better keepers. $#% happens. Keeper still sucks though.

Re: Live: Zimbabwe 1 vs Our Nigeria 1

These are quite frankly below average players. Such a disgrace to watch. Not sure if coaching is the problem with these set of players. They are also very mentally weak. Iheanacho stopping his run for that Aribo pass sums it up. Mental weakness plus poor quality. A high quality player would have co...
