UCL: Marseille v Porto, Zaidu Sanusi scores
Nigerian international defender, Zaidu Sanusi scored the first goal for Porto away to Marseille in the 39th minute off a goal mouth scramble after a corner kick in the 39th minute. Porto have added a second goal through a penalty and the game is almost over.
I am happy

Re: UCL: Marseille v Porto, Zaidu Sanusi scores
He was MOTM. Best player on the night by far. Rated 8.9/10. Highest rating I've seen a defender get in a long time. He also intercepted a for sure goal, made timely tackles and kept the attackers honest. Sad that even with his sublime assist to Osihmen he was axed for the 2nd leg v Saro and got crucified on CE by armchair coaches. Imho, the best LB since Cele-baba!
Let no baga ever suggest Aina start over him at LB.

That Salone collapse was a freak show, pretty much every player suffered a mental collapse for various reasons and Rohr didn't make it any better with this tepid approach (poor substitutions etc). Zaidu is definitely a baller no doubt, and he's head and shoulder better than Aina.

Apparently, Aina started the 2nd leg because he gave Rohr a piece of his mind about not playing a minute in the friendlies against Algeria and Tunisia and being left out of the 1st leg against Sierra Leone.EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote:He was MOTM.

Remember when the treasonous defector who supported CIV over his own country told us Sanusi was a bad player, just 2 weeks ago? Simply because he did not want to admit that the white man he loves so much is a worthless coach.

Im not convinced Sanusi is a better left back than Aina frankly. I've seen much more of Aina, but from what I've seen Aina is better.
Just because somebody scores in champions league does not make him better.
Aina is a better crosser of the ball.

Rohr is an angel* to not have played either Aina or Ebuehi over AKpoguma over 3 matches. Only 1 half in 3 matches went to Ebuehi, the other 2.5 matches Akpoguma played in un unnatural position.

Re: UCL: Marseille v Porto, Zaidu Sanusi scores
I agree with you but you have to understand that his CV means Rohr cannot put him on the bench sand Rohr cannot start him ahead of either Ekong or Balogun, at this time. Moreover, Rohr's conservatism means it is especially difficult for Rohr to consider a Back-3 a good option even though he has tested it before,.vancity eagle wrote:Akpoguma should be used as a CB and nothing else.Enugu II wrote:Vancity eaglevancity eagle wrote:Dammy wrote:Apparently, Aina started the 2nd leg because he gave Rohr a piece of his mind about not playing a minute in the friendlies against Algeria and Tunisia and being left out of the 1st leg against Sierra Leone.EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote:He was MOTM.

The above is not rocket science. I stated this even before the first game against Sierra Leone. I remember putting up Rohr's possible starting line up here and it was almost to the T. You could read Rohr easily.

Re: UCL: Marseille v Porto, Zaidu Sanusi scores
It was as if Rohr had to accomodate Akpoguma even if it unbalanced his team. To have repeated it again in the 2nd leg was absolutely criminal and I hope his stubbornness will not cost the SE.Enugu II wrote:I agree with you but you have to understand that his CV means Rohr cannot put him on the bench sand Rohr cannot start him ahead of either Ekong or Balogun, at this time.

Your clueless German responded to armchair critics by benching a good player (I didn't bother watching the 2nd leg as I just needed to cool off).

Nigeria has the personnel to play 352 and could have done so successfully against Saro in the second leg. We would have dominated the midfield. Personally I think Sanusi is the best left back or wingback we have and Aina should play right back/wing back.

We saw Sanusi’s cross and assist in the first leg against Saro however over 90 mins Aina crossing was non existent in the second leg against the same opposition .....vancity eagle wrote:Where did I ever say Sanusi was a bad player ?danfo driver wrote:Remember when the treasonous defector who supported CIV over his own country told us Sanusi was a bad player, just 2 weeks ago?

Re: UCL: Marseille v Porto, Zaidu Sanusi scores
Its a credible but equally an arguable point about Akpoguma being 'special' to Rohr because of what Prof calls his "German CV", but that theory does not really fly when you consider that Balogun at some point fell out of his favour despite his "German CV".Dammy wrote:It was as if Rohr had to accomodate Akpoguma even if it unbalanced his team.

I really am disturbed by what appears to be a subtle smear campaign even here on CE. A campaign bordering on impropriety in many cases, and it is being entertained and even encouraged. Chinese whispers...again.
We have notoriously very short memories in Naija and in the future everybody will be acting as if it was the NFF that effed up our SE...just like everyone seems to have forgotten how the fans were also calling for Amodu's head in large numbers when he was sacked....twice.
Now its like "me, I was not there o".
This is exactly what happened back then too.
Nigerian fans were whingeing and whining with all sorts of complaints, echoing what the NFF at the time eventually used as excuses to get rid of the man. Little or nothing to do with results.
It's happening again.
First Okoye, now Akpoguma are the platforms from which the missiles are being launched.
What do they have in common?

Re: UCL: Marseille v Porto, Zaidu Sanusi scores
2 of the goals scored against Nigeria by Sierra Leone were Sanusi's fault. Nobody is disputing his quality but against Sierra Leone, he was awful. I do not think he is more effective than Aina as a left-back for the SEFlex Swift wrote:Nigeria has the personnel to play 352 and could have done so successfully against Saro in the second leg.

And I take it you are referring to the Aina who plays for relegation Fulham and who gets humiliated week in week out ?

Re: UCL: Marseille v Porto, Zaidu Sanusi scores
Not if we played 352 formation with Ebuehi playing as a wingback & Sanusi playing wingback on the left we wound created chances to score and been solid in defense.

Re: UCL: Marseille v Porto, Zaidu Sanusi scores
Sanusi scores a beautiful opener for FC Porto yesterday against Tondela bringing his number of goals this season to three. I have also seen him provided three assist this season. The lad if he continues to improve could step into the shoes of Celestine Babayaro

But I'm a little worried about his defensive duties.
He had a role in the opponents' first and second goals which as a coach I wouldn't be very happy about.
Out of position, he lost his man on both occasions.
