Yakubu Ayegbeni scored four goals as Blackburn Rovers eased the pressure on Steve Kean with a 4-2 Premier League win over Swansea City at Ewood Park.

It's a mystery to me how these guys perform so good at clubside but perform so poorly at international level, including Odemwingie and others.

Yakubu is a clinical finisher anytime anyday.

He should stop doing that stupid bird sign when he celebrates his goal

the return of yak the bull. He made me proud today.

@mod, this story should make it to the front page not minding what most of us has against him. This story is being reported by many media.

i hope he keeps the form and gets a sensational eagles call up once more.

Yak has made a statement with his performance, am sure the current handlers will definitely make sure he is invited to camp next time.

Stupid yakubu he missed a goal that would have send Nigeria to Round of 16 we can't forget that miss no matter the goals he scores

Let's hope he can perform the same way when playing in the eagles team

Yak would surely make it back to SE

No surprises,Yak is one of the most consistent foreign out and out strikers in the EPL(check the records)

And No,our strikers cannot reproduce this form at International level as majority of them percieve national assignments as -time!

My problem with the Yak is inconsistency. Only last week he was rated the flop of the match by goal.com and this week, he became a hero. Who knws what he will do nxt?

It's a mystery to me how these guys perform so good at clubside but perform so poorly when it comes to playing for national team,  including Odemwingie and others.

If only they play on the same level of motivation. Does the encouragement on the Eagles squad equal that of the club?

the best way to drag yourself backwards is to keep dwelling on the past. The bloke has proven beyond doubt that he's capable.
And If the dude continues with the form, he's going to aggregate more than 20 goals before the end of the season.
Check am na.

I love this guy rit from his days @ boro

Its the super eagles mid fielders that are not supplying Yak with the ball. The SE coaches should work on this. We should 4get his world cup miss and forge ahead.
Checking the EPL archives, we will see dt he is one of the deadliest strikers in EPL.

Yes, he sent some people to the clinic during his excellent performance in 2010 World cup. Clinical finisher my a$$.

Yakubu has only scored those 4 goals because he knws that there be anoda till the season ends

Yak is a point man. Everytime the dumb coaches of Super Eagles keep pushing him wide. He belongs as the top 9 anytime, anyday.

loool

no doubt, if the mid-field will be there to supply him with good balls, yak will surely deliver the goals. In addition, effect of the goal-mouth miss will make him to want to give the country his best before retirement.

20 of such wld nt wipe out his mess in the minds of nigerians.mtchewww.

That is a great comebac for BULLL. He's hot again, hope he can continue for a very long time

He has been impressive of recent as well as John Utaka.

blackwood:

He should stop doing that silly bird sign when he celebrates his goal

'
stop beafing the guy abeg he has been a bird for long and is still flying.

If he like let him score 300 goals in 2 matches, yak,u ve no place in d eagles team.carry ur big yash dey go,

Yaks has always played well for club and country. people just boxed him negatively because of his infamous world cup miss and our eventual exit. if I am not mistaken, he's Nigeria's leading goalscorer.

Humphreydis:

If he like let him score 300 goals in 2 matches, yak,u ve no place in d eagles team.carry your big yash dey go,

sooner or later you will all these ones that are giving him kudos. Nigerians we melt at the sligthest provocatiob n yet we tend to easily maneouvre thins around.

i tire ooooooo

Come national team big flop

Go clubside big star

Yak is back, one of  the Super Eagles greatest scorers

I can care less if Fatkubu scores 10 in one game, any good plan for super eagles for the future should not include 40 years old heavy legged like him.

at least he tried goodluck
