Re: ONYEKURU GRABS HAT-TRICK
You are a big hypocrite on another thread you were criticising nigerians for being impatient with Nacho... Onyekuru has just played about 90 mins of footbal for the eagles, with his 2 mins here and there...But still he has one goal and one assist, so again what are you talking about???john12 wrote:go And rewatch obagoal, aghawonder and even Kalu (presently) few performances for se and you will see what people expect from onyekuru.

Re: ONYEKURU GRABS HAT-TRICK
I’m never a hypocrite have you ever seen me overhype an unknown player? I have always believed/said that if you’re going to overhype an unknown player, that player must perform superbly because coaches are getting insulted because of him. If you walk into an establishment with proven employees and you come in that organization as a total upgrade/improvement, your black a.ss better perform instantly or you wouldn’t be taken serious

Re: ONYEKURU GRABS HAT-TRICK
But he's been called and given chances, theres a reason he gets few minutes and thats because others are better. When Kalu came in he immediately became a starter because he's that good. So Rohr doesn't have a problem starting new players, as long as they are good enough...same thing with Jamiu Collins even though the other players in contention with him like Aina and Idowu played in better leagues, its clear that Collins is the better option and Rohr went with him over them. Henry has only one assist no goal, as the Liberia game was clearly not an official A match for the SE. Plus his assist was really a great shot from Kalu nothing really to do with the pass...gochino wrote:You are a big hypocrite on another thread you were criticising nigerians for being impatient with Nacho...

Rohr is better than all the coaches he played for in Belgium and Turkey? If he is as bad as you seem to portray him every time how come he is of one the most sought after Nigerian player by the elite teams. Honestly you gratuitous bias towards is definitely worrisome.

Re: ONYEKURU GRABS HAT-TRICK
I am taking the middleground in this argument.
Rohr, contrary to my original belief, has shown a willingness to put new players right into the starting lineup, or on the periphery of it.
As has been mentioned already look at Kalu and Collins. I am sure that Chukwueze will soon be an addition to this. Rohr thinks very highly of him. He was already donning the #10 jersey and Rohr was giving him special attention in training. He knows that he is a star.
We may have initially believed that Rohr was not giving Onyekuru a fair chance, but it is possible that he was actually seeing something in him he did not like.
What reason does he have to beef with Onyekuru ? Although Rohr is indeed conservative, he is not THAT conservative that he will just ignore any new player (Kalu, Collins, CHukwueze) So I believe that Onyekuru is simply not doing something right in training, and I am inclined to believe Rohr has it right in this regard.
Having said all of that. Onyekuru in all of his small cameos probably does not even have up to 90 minutes. So we cannot fairly judge his SE contributions, especially as he does have an assist, and a goal even if it is in a non competative friendly.
Regarding his one assist that somebody claimed was more about Kalu's incredible shot.
Yes and No. It is true that the goal was about the wicked Kalu shot, but he would never have got that chance if not for Henry controlling the ball outside of the box turning around heads up and picking Kalu out. It was a nice heads up play which could easily have been missed judging by some of the examples of previous play of some of our wingers who I will leave un named.
Frankly Onyekuru has not had enough chances with SE, but he certainly is not ahead of Kalu, Chukwueze, Musa.
Remember that Musa and Simon add a lot in defence and this is supposedly where Onyekuru lacks when he is playing out wide.
Up top he is very light weight, but he may be a better option up top than out wide.

Kalu's shot was exquisite, no doubt, but so too was the assist. Furthermore, I would say that Onyekuru's attacking game is ahead of Kalu at the moment (that is to say that he's a much greater goalscoring threat). It's in other aspects of his game that Kalu is superior (Kalu provides better defensive cover for his outside backs and creates better for teammates). At any rate they are both super talented developing young players and I find this business of pitting our players against each other simply because of shrinning one player or the other to be quite ludicrous. (Mind you I'm not saying that this is what you are doing. But there are far too many of these silly arguments in these parts).
Regardless of who our favorite player is, or who we think deserves to be starting, we should be happy to have the talented array of Wing Forwards that we currently have. Not that long ago we were arguing about the likes of Nnamdi Oduamadi, Michael Babatunde and Ejike Uzoenyi. Such is not the case now.

Re: ONYEKURU GRABS HAT-TRICK
Yes its under FIFA's prerogative, and they deemed the Liberia match was not an A match so what exactly is your issue? Yes Rohr is the ultimate judge of what is best for SE as long as he's the coach and he's deemed some better than others, that's his prerogative but also buttresses my opinion. At the end of the day its my opinion and I have nothing against Henry I just feel he could be a much better player than what he's currently showing and I root for him to be better. Bully on the other hand down plays everybody who may be in contention with Onyekuru (ex: calls Kalu an Ikedia, says Chukwueze isn't an integral part of Villareal etc...) even to the point of heaping curses on Rohr for not taking a just recovered/unfit Onyekuru to the World Cup. To me that's unnecessary when Onyekuru hasn't really proven his mettle YET in the SE, and the ones that were taken had.

https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_n ... ?nid=29230
Allnigeriasoccer.com can report that Nigeria will not be allocated points by FIFA for their 2-1 victory over Liberia in an international friendly staged in Monrovia on Tuesday evening ahead of the release of the new world ranking on Thursday, September 20.
At least two rules were broken by the Liberia Football Association and the Nigeria Football Federation during the game held at Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Stadium, so the game will not be recognized by FIFA.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) which is the body that determines the Laws of the Game of association football states that for national “A” team friendly matches, a maximum of six substitutes may be used.
Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr flouted that law when he introduced Enyimba pair Mfon Udoh and Sunday Adetunji in the second half, bringing his total number of substitutions to seven.
On 25 October 2012, FIFA sent a circular to all its members stating that the referee and assistant referees appointed to officiate friendly matches shall be from a neutral country unless otherwise previously agreed by the members concerned.
According to the match commentary from KMTV, a Liberian referee Montgomery officiated the game between Liberia Nigeria, thereby nullifying the game as an international.

To me that's unnecessary when Onyekuru hasn't really proven his mettle YET in the SE, and the ones that were taken had. If you agree with bully then that's your prerogative, but I don't.TonyTheTigerKiller wrote:You must enjoy sitting at your keyboard and making things up. Since when did Rohr become the ultimate judge of football talent and when did you earn the right to determine which matches are A matches? I was under the impression that’s FIFA’s prerogativemaceo4 wrote:But he's been called and given chances, theres a reason he gets few minutes and thats because others are better. When Kalu came in he immediately became a starter because he's that good. So Rohr doesn't have a problem starting new players, as long as they are good enough...same thing with Jamiu Collins even though the other players in contention with him like Aina and Idowu played in better leagues, its clear that Collins is the better option and Rohr went with him over them. Henry has only one assist no goal, as the Liberia game was clearly not an official A match for the SE. Plus his assist was really a great shot from Kalu nothing really to do with the pass...gochino wrote:You are a big hypocrite on another thread you were criticising nigerians for being impatient with Nacho... Onyekuru has just played about 90 mins of footbal for the eagles, with his 2 mins here and there...But still he has one goal and one assist, so again what are you talking about???john12 wrote:go And rewatch obagoal, aghawonder and even Kalu (presently) few performances for se and you will see what people expect from onyekuru. If you were overhyped prior to WCor described as the best thing since sliced bread, you better perform exceptionally immediately or will be dropped

Allnigeriasoccer.com can report that Nigeria will not be allocated points by FIFA for their 2-1 victory over Liberia in an international friendly staged in Monrovia on Tuesday evening ahead of the release of the new world ranking on Thursday, September 20.
At least two rules were broken by the Liberia Football Association and the Nigeria Football Federation during the game held at Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Stadium, so the game will not be recognized by FIFA.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) which is the body that determines the Laws of the Game of association football states that for national “A” team friendly matches, a maximum of six substitutes may be used.
Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr flouted that law when he introduced Enyimba pair Mfon Udoh and Sunday Adetunji in the second half, bringing his total number of substitutions to seven.
On 25 October 2012, FIFA sent a circular to all its members stating that the referee and assistant referees appointed to officiate friendly matches shall be from a neutral country unless otherwise previously agreed by the members concerned.
According to the match commentary from KMTV, a Liberian referee Montgomery officiated the game between Liberia Nigeria, thereby nullifying the game as an international.

I am not interested in a memo FIFA purportedly sent in 2012. If indeed FIFA downgraded the friendly, there must have been a bulletin to that effect. Produce it or shut up
Cheers.

Re: ONYEKURU GRABS HAT-TRICK
pele, it will be ok. The fact that you don’t know that you are only allowed 6 maximum subs in a FIFA grade A international friendly says it all. Ya have no clue. Anyways Cheers.

Re: ONYEKURU GRABS HAT-TRICK
maceo4, you are exhibiting the intelligence of a 2-year old. The rules regarding friendly substitutions are only relevant if it is enforced by FIFA. If a player handles the ball in the penalty box and the ref chooses not to acknowledge it then it is inconsequential. FIFA has never said that the friendly with Liberia is not a grade A friendly so, stop being foolish
Cheers.

Re: ONYEKURU GRABS HAT-TRICK
IFAB created the rules for which games FIFA would recognize as grade A international friendlies and you can see in link below it clearly states 6 maximum subs for the submitted game to be recognized as a grade A international friendly. We made 7 subs which violates the rules, so the onus is on you to show us why FIFA wouldn’t enforce their own rules. If not shut up, why would FIFA put out a public statement about such an inconsequential game? I know you know you are wrong just like you almost always are on this forum, I took pity on you that’s why I’m trying to educate you. But at your advanced age I recognize it’s not easy. I’ve shown you why it’s not a grade A friendly now show us why it is let’s judge since you just keep talking without backing up your statements. Show us the bulletin from FIFA stating they are outrageously ignoring their own rules to recognize our historical friendly as a grade A international. Im sure such a ground breaking report should be easy for you of all people the oga of ogas to find...ehen we dey waitTonyTheTigerKiller wrote:maceo4, you are exhibiting the intelligence of a 2-year old.

Re: ONYEKURU GRABS HAT-TRICK
maceo4, stop behaving like a recalcitrant child. Do you also want me to show you why hundreds of refs have ignored the hand-ball rule? The existence of a rule doesn’t mean it’s going to be enforced. Even if the rule you’re referencing actually does exist, it doesn’t mean squat until FIFA actually enforces it. Your perception or imagination that a rule was violated doesn’t count for anything. If the game was indeed downgraded from a grade A friendly, it would be in FIFA records. That’s the law
Cheers.

Henry just missed 1on1 against the keeper, after setting himself up with a super control and run from outside the box.
Anyway, lucky for him that his team is still leading...................Goztepe 0-1 Galatasaray, 85 min.
