King Kong of SE ride on ……. You are a true leader ……. Lead your troops to victory
Critics of UNION TROOST EKONG, how market?
Ekong is not good, e no dey body, he is unfit, he can’t run, his head is too big, he’s not skillful, he’s fat, he’s a calamity, oya make unu come tender unu sincere, heartfelt apologies to the SE captain.
Holding it down in the defense, and even contributing a goal to the cause.
UNION TROOST EKONG, congrats on a MOM performance. More grease to your elbows!
But you and I know that his form dropped at a point. No one can take that fact away. Even his manager at Watford admitted he actually dropped a bit down in terms of form at a point. And being a very important player for us, we had every reason to be worried and speak up. Thank God he’s redeeming himself now, but one should not underestimate the role our criticisms played in his new found form. Let’s just keep at that and pray he gets better.
UNION TROOST, BIG, STRONG, RELIABLE!!!
God bless you brother Troost-Ekong. l, Edoman, sincerely tender my almost apology for bad-mouthing your good self in the past. l was one of them. Now l am free. You were the true son of your mum & dad today. l praise you. You were marvelous. We shall win this trophy this year.
@Jimmyball, Where art thou? This is the player you were criticizing now winning MOM… Even your player Ndah you were making mouth for, seems Cerezo doesn’t even rate him at all to be bringing him to play around 80 mins… Jimmyball how far?
Abeg whats with all this noise and naming calling some members are doing. is it now a crime to criticize a player for playing below par. or have you not seen the difference in his style of play. he is playing different under a new coach that knows his onions. And pairing with an established defender. So don’t get all the fuss. Under Rorh he was crap, he was a suspect. How i wished simon started that game, for me he was MOTM.
