Tolexander: ikedia in the list of the caliber of player mention?

pius ikedia? one of my favourites at the turn of the millennium! i remember the friendly against scotland. he murdered scotland. his combo with aghahowa then was fire!

Father, every enemy of my Destiny, embarrass them like we embarrassed Eboue!! May they eat dia words! Amen!!

Initially I wanted to strangle Emenike, but d witch turning his pot in d village got tired. 7
Vic MO: 8

Did Yobo play?!

Shittaakeem: Op don't u know that omeru is not an home based player he plays for chelsea youth team or u can call it feeders team

Yea, but currently on loan to Ado Den Haag in the Dutch Eridevisie.

Oga jarus nice rating!!

Yes, martins played, ogbeche( yeye bicycle kick) played, everybody played!! So quit arguing pls!!

Please if someone has a direct link to GEJ!!

Pls help relay this message!!

The last time we were this happy was when abacha died!!

GEJ just need to place a call through to the malian
president to remind him that we are the reason
they can still compete I̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ AFCON!

And that nigeria is celebrating the centenary anniversary next year!!! So, Mr president, Ȋ̝̊̅ need that cup!! Or send the ambassador/ fixer!

The reason Mali is still a state!! (1200 soldiers +
billions is not a quid)

That's what a real president would do!!

After all its a matter of national interest and he
swore to protect it!!


Its not match-fixing,its fair-play, they would be returning a favour!!!


And beep sanusi to start printing the cash to FIX the final!!

Don't worry about CAF! Hayatu wants to be life-president,he would go unopposed again, adamu would stay put!!

We win the cup, everybody is happy!!

GEJ is working!!

This is exactly what I have been asking myself and other football pundits for a long time now. Over the years, the use of the wings to unleash a deadly attack or volley of accurate crosses have become redundant. Is it because the use of the wings is becoming less popular in recent times? Someone please educate me.

The use of wingers isn't redundant if you have the required players to execute it... The Chelsea team that dominated the premiership during Mourinho's era was quintessentially a wing-style team with Damien Duff and Arjen Robben.... Real Madrid, Brazil, and Barcelona still play wing-style football with overlapping full backs...

As for this naija team, we just don't have the players to prosecute that - our left back is rubbish, and our shaky holding midfielders won't be able to cover for the full backs if/when they overlap...

@Jarus. Omeruo is not a home based player!
@Coogar! You can only play wing footie when u have the players to execute. Musa can't even make a good cross to save his own life. Keshi made do with what he has. Am not a Keshi fan but I think he got his tactics spot on today. Allowing Moses to roam was a perfect decision!

So proud to be Nigerian tonyt!

it hasn't become redundant - keshi just forgot his coaching skills!
every serious team deploys the wing-play. even when you have inverted wingers who love to cut in, the full backs become wing backs. what's brazil without roberto carlos or cafu? what's man utd without valencia/nani? what's bayern without ribery/robben? barcelona sef use alves and alba as the outlet to supply the crosses. the best nigerian team ever had finidi/amuneke tearing defences!

abeg, who has keshi's number?

Na one Unity Cup,where we beat ireland...Jamaica

corrrect..the match ended 2 nil in naija's favour..scorers were martins and ogbeche..i remember vividly.

We conceded a soft goal but overall good display. I maintain that this team can achieve great things. In the midst of all the superstars, it was little known Mba that made the difference.

The stand-out players were Moses and Emenike. Emenike fought all game, what a warrior!! Ideye and Moses had beautiful touches on the ball. What can we say about Kenneth Omeruo? Just 19, and the successor to Yobo.

If they fight the same way against Mali, we would be in the final.

Jarus: Now, business of the day:

MAN OF THE MATCH: Tough one between Moses and Mba, but I settle for Mba
FLOP OF THE MATCH: None

Enyeama: Great game. Fantastic saves. Confident. Collected. Did well wasting time. Highlight was stopping Yaya’s goal-bpond shot. 7

Echiejile: Keeps getting better with every match. Kept the CIV wingers at bay, and that was a very difficult one. Also made daring runs forward. 7

Oboabona: What can I say? Justified his choice in defence. Good point for home-based. He was fantastic. Stopped many runs by the CIV forwards. Also clearing on time. Appeared confident too. 7

Omeruo: Justified his benching Yobo. Although Drogba had good of him on a couple of occasions, he did well, for a homebased. Reminds one of Yobo vs Weah when the former was just an upcoming defender, in 2002 world cup qualifiers 7.5

Ambrose: He was fantastic. Did well in the right back.. Stopped Drogba, troubled Salomon Kalou earlier He only needs to be more consistent. 7

omeruo is not a home based player. He's a chelsea player but he's on loan 2 a club in holand. I thnk the name of the club is haeg or smth. But his parent club is chelsea

chochoman: Martins actually partnered Ogbeche.There is something called google.

the match jarus was refering to involved Keane and Duff. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/match?id=48509&cc=3888

We don't have the players to execute wing-play, bruv...

The 4-3-1-2 formation they played today is alright - with Ideye leading the line, Emenike supporting him, and Victor Moses playing in front of the midfielders....

The right back is alright, but our holding mildfielder(Onazi) is shaky, and left-back is suspect...

@OP,A thread for Nigeria last qualifier match against Liberia should be revisited. One pastor's prophency concerning super eagles is about to be real

@ op, u r tryin wit ur ratings,but 4 d books,Omeruo is a chelsea player on loan & Mba is nt a rangers player bt a warri wolves player.Up Super Eagles

All today's first 11 of super eagles 9/10

Yobo.... he was used as delay tactic.

Man of the match:
Emenike...... With his cracking shot
Mba...... with super deceiving flicker

Spoiler in the match:
Barry..... he's never a good keeper for once and always cause CIV lost

my man of d match goes to Mba, Moses n Enyeama. all the players also did well... nice game great confidence. and a big thanks 2 all the Nigeria fans on the pitch for their great support and confidence given to the players also

SIRCONFIDENCE:
@OP, A thread for Nigeria last qualifier match against Liberia should be put on front wall. One pastor's prophency concerning super eagles is about to be real

@all, who sits on the bench when Ogude comes back.

...Well done Super Eagles of Biafra... Igbo kwenu! #haters go die#

. Na real politician u be.

Good reason to invest in goal keepers. CIV has a good team but an awful goal keeper. The two goals he conceded were due to his incompetence. 2ndly, smply because Mba scored the 2nd goal shouldn't be the reason to make him man of the match. I do think the man of the math is Mikel Obi followed by Yaya Toure.

where is jarus?

Something u don't note is dat in 2nd haf d ivorians became tired after dey equalise.but our boys are yonger so dey won as a result

Let d govt fulfil the winning bonus they promised this team o. That is my own rating.

Unfortunately, I don't have Keshi's number else I would have called him myself to ask the question. Ahmed musa would have done the job of a right winger but his performance so far hasn't been that fantastic. I hope he gets his groove back. Victor Moses hasn't been bad on the left wing though.

ENOUGH!!!!!

Oya everybody go and sleep before I open my eyes!

Thanks for the education bro.

its funny how all those pessimist have suddenly disappeared. Now i can see alot of them here making good comment about the team. How unpatriotic can Nigerians be.
