Re: Kelechi Nwakali…
Ol' boy, I have never ever read about a player who has done very little in his career get the kind of HYPE Nwakali gets on this Forum. I wonder what most would have written about him if he showed just a tad more --- win more balls, put himself about more and do something else besides string along p...

Re: FINIDI PICKS 3 FOREIGN ASSISTANTS
Finidi, I will NOT forget this. I have been calling for standards for years! 1789971009551913398 A smart manager, will set standards as Finidi has done here. But being smart also means that he is flexible enough to treat each case on its own merit. A manager can make exceptions as a case demands......

Re: Crystal Palace interested in Raphael Onyedika and Wilfred Ndidi
He is a top coach and the mere fact of winning or not winning a trophy is not a sufficient basis for determining who is or not a top coach. If that were the case, I then ask you- why do you danfo driver not consider Rafa Benitez a top coach? :smile: :smile: I am sorry, I cant agree with you. My pos...

Re: Crystal Palace interested in Raphael Onyedika and Wilfred Ndidi
^^^ You rate Finidi based on what? The fact that his team was dominated by a 10-man Ghana team in the second half? Or that they lost to Mali? If Finidi was so good, why did he not replicate his coaching at the African level? Eyimba were disgraced when they stepped up to continental level. And this ...

Re: Why Boniface is critical v RSA
If we stick with any variation of the 2 striker system, Lookman is actually the perfect foil for Victor. If finidi sticks w his 3-5-2, Lookman's versatility can see him creating combinations all over the pitch w Iwobi being his main partner and Osi at the end of the moves. Boniface is recovering fr...

Re: Why Boniface is critical v RSA
Even NIgeria used Ideye Brown and Emenike in 2013 successfully. It can work. You need mobile strikers that like to run and like to create chances. Both Osimhen and Boniface are good at that. Boniface is not a high work rate striker, he’s no Ideye Brown, not even close. Amokachi and Ideye could play...

Re: Here we go again: Open camp of SE to local talent-Finidi's first move
The team is already there for Finidi. He has been with them for 2 years. There is no need to deviate very much from Peseiros team. He just needs to plug a hole or two. If he wants to be successful he will stick with mostly the same team. I can garan-damn - tee there'll be local players on that list...

Re: Real Madrid vs Bayern
@Tx, the introduction of Kim didn’t yield the impact envisioned. Kimmich had been ridden raw and needed more than help. He needed respite. Granted PSG are unlike Madrid and Mbappe unlike Vinicius, but both shift the focus to the contralateral flank to open up the ipsi. At one point Real went full s...

Re: Real Madrid vs Bayern
For all the intricacies of the modern game, the master key remains, when it matters most, get the ball out wide to the whippet and have him fly at the fullback. As it was in the age of Andrei Kanchelskis, so it shall be henceforth. Yes, there’s some body work done on the inside, a few leading lefts...

Re: Real Madrid vs Bayern
Problem was the AR. It did not look offside And the AR seems like he knew he messed up as he stayed back to explain himself to the players... Exactly! That I completely agree with. The referee saw a flag up and he blew his whistle for offside. The AR was the one who messed up big time and should ha...

Re: Real Madrid vs Bayern
These officials just ruined a good game. So tired of incompetent refs. Get some full time officials and make it their only job.. this is ridiculous What did the ref do? Was it that he blew his whistle when the linesman indicated offside or something else? Problem was the AR. It did not look offside...
