All this talk about players picking Nigeria when they are not good enough is nonsense. Troost Ekong is good enough to play for the Netherlands.

But they are defenders first, I like their tenacity...our full backs are good on the ball....with time they will work on that , but for me they are both what we need .....

Turnovers are a problem as is building from the back in central defence. When pressed they're often guilty of hitting the ball forward in hope rather than expectation. That's so what.

I don’t know where you are based at but other variables come into play when you are a minority in country of residence

If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

Giorgio Chiellini said recently that Pep Guardiola has ruined Italian defenders by making them think they are playmakers. A defender should not be a playmaker, they should be a defender - unless they play for Barcelona or Spain, in which case they should do whatever the hell they want.

I prefer our players playing defense. We have enough playmakers.
