Thought I'd comment a bit on yesternite's game versus Ethopia..
- The Abuja National Stadium's main pitch has already started degenerating..wow. Entropy as a principle is extremely STRONG here in Naija
..the maintenance culture is totally missing. While the game was on fsr Chievo's MAB mudpit kept coming to mind..to be fair the pitch wasn't that bad, but c'mon..it was easy to tell that the groundsman has been AWOL for months or something.
- We're goners without Enyeama..Dele's totally fucked up.
- Can't say who's worse..John or Peter Utaka, forget the latter's brace..he played BS. Reminds me of the Asamoah of Schalke, or Wilson Oruma..maybe was his hairdo.
- Sam Siasia was pretty smart with substitutions, left the best for last..
Odemwingie
, Ike Uche and Kalu Uche. Plus he removed the dead wood..Pete Utaka esp..
- Of the two Obis on the field, imo Joel Chukwuma was the better..my popz said it was Mikel (our very own NT diva
) but I doubt that. Fuck, I know he's a merda pig but being objective, he worked our offensive midfield well.
- Taye had a so-so day..wasn't really interested in those hungry waif-like Ethopians.
- Yobo's still got it in him..tackles, speed, marking..hope he's settled well in Turkey..
- Musa needs an urgent lesson in headers..if you can't find an empty net from like six yards TWICE in the space of maybe ten minutes then there's a problem.
- Ike Uche has the striker's instinct we BADLY need..fuck diva no. 2 Obafemi Martins. His first goal was pure hunger (placing the goalie while on his heinie!) while the second was ....HOT!! He made the exact gesticulations Jose Fiver made after Benzema scored versus Lyon in the SB..'I'm hot!!!' Zaragoza you don't know what you have 'til it's gone..this is a player just returning from like 7 months off or something (injury).
- Pete Odemwingie is a demigod..nuff said. Without him the current NT (and WBA) will be absolutely nowhere.
He deserved to score that freekick..sooooooo close it was!!!! And he wasn't even 70% fit!
- Nsofor's declining..merda see the same too. His passes are -900% accurate, and that's no exaggeration.
Go down with the Hammers and don't come up.
