Re: Kelechi Iheanacho to Crystal Palace ??

The first team to realize that Nacho’s natural position is a free role on the right side of a 433/442 will get 20 goals and 10 assists out of him for their club. He’s not a striker or MF. He’s a roamer in the final 3rd with no defensive responsibilities other than to occupy space until the ball is ...

Re: Ucheibe - Find of the Tournament

The game-plan for the Falcons largely depended on our defenders and midfielders Ucheibi, Ayinde, Ohale, Demehin, Abiodun winning individual duels and...

Re: We need a thread for DEFENDERS AND MIDFIELDERS

Daniel Daga flew in from London this morning, so it’s possible he was returning from contract discussions with clubs either in the UK or Europe. He was picked up by a guy that looks like his agent. But he really can’t sign any contact till he is 18, and he is still 16. Doesn’t look 16 though. :mrgr...

Re: Our usual weakness. Lack of real quality finishers

If you check the quality of our shots on goal by looking at the xG stats for instance, you will see that we created very low quality chances to shoot at the England goalie. The key stat to me and I’m not sure how to get this, is the sort of chances we created after James’ red card. At that point, we...

Re: England 0-0 Nigeria: (FIFA Women World Cup )FT

Our substitutions could have been better, choice of penalty takers was atrocious too.
I’m glad Randy left a defensive foundation… now hoping for a better coach to take us to the next level.

:taunt: We have one of the best strike forces in world football! The issue now is where are we going to get the midfielders to service the strike force?

Naija I hail thee. How do you extend a guy that you owe months of salary and then demand he accept a much lower salary on the new contract? Nothing illegal but it just doesn’t feel right. It’s a very unethical behavior but coaches who sign contracts with the NFF should come to expect this, unfortun...

Re: NFF President Speaks on Public Poll on Peseiro's Tenure & the Future

We should have this crowd polling every 4 years and have INEC manage it too while we’re at it.

Questions on the ballot should include the following:
Which player should take corner kicks?
Who plays free kicks?
Who should be the captain?
And so on…

Re: Agent reveals Nigeria have made an attempt to lure ex-Austria U21 captain to Super Eagles

Seems like his preference is to represent Austria. Why even waste our time? We should be throwing out feelers before approaching players if we don’t want to be used to motivate the other FA. The 22-year-old is considering switching his international allegiance from Austria to Nigeria because he has...
