I don't Like Short Players

Post by ANC »

the only good short players ever to play well for Nigeria are Martins, ikpeba and Henry Nwosu. The Simons, Azubuike Okechukwus, the Musas, etc should not be invited ever again. Kai it was a thing of shame being pushed around by the Poles and now serbians.

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. 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."

Ikpeba is probably taller than JJ. I think Muda Lawal was short-ish as well.

A short player has to be constantly mobile and smart enough to read the game. If a short player knows how to dribble, shoot the ball, can run for 90 mins, as well as make intelligent passes -- he can be a nightmare for tall players. Just look at Iniesta.

Our players look too petit and fragile. That's why they are bullied around by those giant Serbians and Poles.

So whats the solution? I rather SE lose with the likes of Ademola Adeshina, Chidi Nwanu, even Augstine Eguavone (who I dislike just like Oliseh), Omokaro etc. Kia what a crying shame. :cry: Sad the indomitable Lions didn't qualify.

Muda was not short....had the privilege of playing with and against him, he was over 6 foot...at least 6 '1''

You didn't like Okocha or Amunike .... but according to you Ikpeba was one of the good "short" players to play for Nigeria?

I am curious, was this thread opened for comic relief? I mean, surely as a fan of the Eagles you would favour the best conceivable squad, whether it includes Victor Agali and Sadiq Umar .... or the Ghanaian-Nigerians Pius Ikedia and Rabiu Ibrahim. :)

Thanks...interesting. He didnt look that tall on TV...maybe because we had big guys like Odegbami, CCC, Bamidele, and Okala.

How tall was Ogedegbe? he also looked short for a GK (maybe because of Okala?).

Its okay to have one or two exceptional bredas (Messi, Edgar Davids etc) on a team. But when over fifty percent of the players are slight and "petit", the team is no longer Super Eagles. I think John Ogu has almost zero latent, but I was so happy when he was introduced into the Serb match. Fellows, this is a problem and teams are going to use it. After suffering terribly in 1994 from over fouling opponents, I had secretly prayed that SE would become more polished and guile; less like the Indomitable Lions. I guess one should be careful what they wish for. Kai even Ndidi, an "enforcer" was pushed around like a rag doll. :cry:

irrelevant. Though i am taller than Edgar Davids, but the brother probably would have a greater fight in him than me...on the green grass. Its not simply about height...its an over simplification, i admit. But the SE needs size and she needs it like yesterday.
