ARIBO: Too Weak for African Football --- Taribo West
In my view, Taribo is correct but this problem is not a permanent one and can be overcome. We saw it with Iwobi in the early days but Iwobi has become comfortable with the physicality.

NIGERIAN legend Taribo West has launched an attack on Rangers midfielder Joe Aribo after claiming he's too weak to play for the Super Eagles.
Ibrox ace Aribo opted to play for Nigeria last year and has been widely praised in Africa for his performances in international football.
Aribo has scored two goals in just four appearances for Nigeria including a goal against Brazil in a friendly last year, as well as a goal against Ukraine.
But he's not convinced former Inter Milan, AC Milan and Derby County defender West, who doesn't think he's cut out to play for his country.
He believes Getafe star Oghenekaro Etebo should play ahead of Aribo instead.
West said: "I've watched Joe Aribo play for Nigeria, but in my view, it's clear he is yet to come to terms with it.

Re: ARIBO: Too Weak for African Football --- Taribo West
It's too premature for West to make such a statement. He's had just one bad game. Yes he struggled against Lesotho, but that's not because Lesotho was an overly physical team. He may have just had a bad day at the office. He was very good in the other 2 games against quality opposition.
Re: ARIBO: Too Weak for African Football --- Taribo West
He is strong enough for World football.

Re: ARIBO: Too Weak for African Football --- Taribo West
Scottish football is very physical. Aribo struggled against Lesotho because of the bad plastic pitch.
I am happy
Re: ARIBO: Too Weak for African Football --- Taribo West
Look who is talking but then again his reference point is on Stone Age football; Taribo would get red card every match if he played in today’s modern football. His Stone Age type tackling would not work in modern football of today.

Kpom. Lesotho isn't even a physical team.Dammy wrote:Scottish football is very physical. Aribo struggled against Lesotho because of the bad plastic pitch.
I even rewatched 20 minute highlights from our Benin match, and Aribo made a few good plays. This is all much ado about nothing.
I like both Etebo and Aribo, both have their strengths, and I would perhaps consider starting either based on our opponents. It is good to have these options.

we need to move from the thought that the cockney Eagles are ajebutters who will fear all physically rigorous ball. A lot of them come in prepared and informed about the differences.

The thought crossed my mind, but so far he's held his own.

Re: ARIBO: Too Weak for African Football --- Taribo West
Yeah, agreed. There’s more time for him to establish himself...and if you click West’s full comments via the link, he did say Aribo needs more timeolu wrote:It's too premature for West to make such a statement.

My own issue with Aribo is that he tends to disappear in games

Re: ARIBO: Too Weak for African Football --- Taribo West
I think something similar was said about Ndidi. Look at Ndidi now? Too early to say, besides Aribo can easily adapt to African refereeing not necessarily the physicality per say and ofcourse he can also adapt to the physicality, just needs to bulk up a little and he'll be fine. It's more what the African referee allows to let go. Some of the offences they let go could quite easily collect a double Red Card in Europe, if that did indeed exist .

Re: ARIBO: Too Weak for African Football --- Taribo West
Anybody listening to Taribo will think that he won the world cup for Nigeria when he played with his strength. I'm not sure Taribo watched Aribo against Brazil. Yes, that's the type of team that should be used to measure the strength of a player and not these poor African teams. Should Aribo improve on his work rate? Yes but all these talks about physicality hold no water. Players like Aribo did not grow up in a gra gra environment.
Re: ARIBO: Too Weak for African Football --- Taribo West
Were Algeria or Madagascar physically stronger than we were before beating us in AFCON. Doesn't make sense. Being an ex-international is no licence to express baseless sentimental opinions.

Actually, there is a huge and crucial difference between the two.(1) What is criticized is one is written as an enduring characteristic i.e. unchanging. In addition, it is attached to a particular racial group. (2) What is discussed here is not an enduring characteristic but a learned behavior, which can change overtime.
The above is a crucial difference between what is criticized as radicalized and what is being criticized as a learned behavior.

The first shock as also with EPL, Scottish League and African Football is the level of fouls the referee will let you get away with.
Once a professional comes to terms with the no-calls he will adapt.
He will go into challenges prepared, he will not dwell on the ball...

I agree completely. He has the physical tools to eventually adapt to the non-calls and the physical aspects. If Iwobi can, I have little doubt that Aribo will.
