Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
Horrendous game going on against Brentford. They have actually replaced their wingbacks for more forwards. They should be 5 nil up. Performance is really terrible, can't control the game in any shape or form. How long before Junior is booted out the door?

Re: Kobbie Mainoo and 🇬🇭 Ghana
The boy is on a meteoric rise. The debate on United app now is if he will make Euro 2024. I just hope he has good people around him to keep his feet on the ground. It only gets harder now that he’s a known quantity.

Re: LIST OF PLAYERS THAT MUST NEVER BE INVITED HENCEFORTH:
SMH…. Peeps just want to throw away experienced players like you can buy them at Walmart. Ekong was supposed to be a finished, over the hill, tired leg. He ended up being our best player at AFCON. Di Maria was meant to be finished and past his sell by date at the WC, he ended being the reason Argent...

Scoring early then hanging for dear life is not a strategy. If you want to play not to lose, then you have to keep the ball.

The problem is that people mistakenly arrogate football a status that it does not have even when imagined. Football is not sophisticated.

Re: Ola Aina Played AFCON 2023 Final with Injury, Nottingham Forest Coach Says
The issue is simple. Did Aina hide his injury or not? Nobody here should be surprised by Ekong’s injury. We discussed it here and he was a doubt for the next games but we were glad he made it, just like Nwabali. Ekong didn’t hide anything and it’s a given in football that players play on with injur...

Re: Peseiro watches English-born Super Eagles-eligible player (Sylvester Jasper) in Benfica's win
A none story, was thinking Peseiro made a comment about him or something. The writer is just desperate to write or fronting for an agent. A good journalist would have gone thru proper channels for the press to reach peseiro and ask what he thinks. The man probably watches hundreds of games, wonder h...

Re: Ola Aina Played AFCON 2023 Final with Injury, Nottingham Forest Coach Says
A player playing an important game with injury only shows commitment if the situation is transparent with the medics and coaching staff. Else it’s selfishness, dereliction of duty and foolishness combined. The latter seems to be the case as Peseiro in an interview blamed the loss on youth and inexpe...

Re: Could not score against Ghana in 2 games to take us to the WC, one goal in 7 games at the AFCON
Perhaps he should have taken the two penalties Ekong took? But Ekong delivered so not an issue. Those two were a path to 2 goals, assists and overall impact. When you add 4 disallowed goals and the team getting to the final, he's definitely on it. This is a case where stats don't tell the whole stor...

Re: Could not score against Ghana in 2 games to take us to the WC, one goal in 7 games at the AFCON
But he scores for fun at his club. Why is that? 34 caps 21 goals. I would say he scores for fun for Nigeria as well. Plus he had 4 disallowed goals. He's definitely got it and did what was asked of him upfront very well. He also had an impact in almost all our goals. Like him or not, there's no Nig...

Re: Video interview: Peseiro - Why the Eagles played defensively
Not happy with Peseiro's response. Seems like he felt young players, the atmosphere and occasion led to mistakes and underperformance. Question is what did he do when this was unfolding? This was the AFCON final, a chance to win the most coveted trophy in Africa. If the young players were having a b...

Re: Alex Iwobi to retire from the SE?
It's a divisive narrative emerging here that foreign born players are somehow more subject to abuse than nigerian born ones. I don't think there's data to back that up, difference might just be in reporting or response. But in any case, it's one of those things that needs to be proven as on the surf...
