Wolves have got Awoniyi to thank for the very low scoreline.

On using same set of players, Garba says it is risky to make more than four changes in a squad...our two central defenders are playing together in a match for the first time today. One came in for the injured Omego

Garba says fatigue is setting in and promised to bring in more players against Dolphins. Looking to the match against U-23 on the last day, he says they will play their normal game and try to win maximum points. We will respect them as our senior colleague but we intend to win

Manu Garba says he do not see the players getting swollen headed and will not be complacent. The players know that once you drop in performance, another player will take your shirt

Joseph Eyimofe says the tournament is good for the players to blend and that they are learning from the mistakes. He also believes the match against Flying Eagles has been an improvement against other matches

On making their possession count, Okpodu said they are taking some positives from every game. We dominated the Flying Eagles and the final outcome does not make us happy but we will work on the finishing of the squad

Very funny. i think fatigue is showing on the boys. Plssss oga manu, start nwobodo, bulbwa and yahaya in their nxt match ooo. Fresh legs. that suliaman abdullahi is not it. too heavy, cant turn and dribble. good he was subbed quickly. the saleh guy is by far better. Awoniyi needs to be clinical and improve his short and long passes. lost too much possession in the first half. Captain musa should adjust his shooting style. needs to lift the ball well in corner kicks or simply do a short pass. The two centre back for the eagle also tried. thumb up to roland silas. overall, warri wolves by far the better team in the first half but lack dat finishing instinct to score goals and win games. Possession is nothing if u cant score.

[b][size=14pt]Super 6: Flying Eagles win third straight game[/size]



Nigeria U20 team, the Flying Eagles, won their third straight game at the Super 4 in Abuja courtesy of a second-half winner by skipper Musa Muhammed.

The Flying Eagles thus stayed top of the six-team pre-season tournament with nine points from three matches.

Skipper Muhammed headed home the all-important goal in the 47th minute off a free kick after the Nigeria U20s struggled to find their rythm against Wolves, who placed third in the Nigeria Premier League last season and will represent Nigeria in this year’s CAF Confederation Cup.

Warri Wolves showed tremendous improvement against the Flying Eagles as they controlled the game for the better part of the first half, but no goal to show for their impressive play with wingers Stanley Dimgba and Joseph Osadiaye in full sway.

The Flying Eagles had three shots at goal with two on target and Wolves had two shots with one on target.

In the eighth minute, Joseph Osadiaye was denied by Flying eagles goalkeeper Joshua Enhaholo.

In the 28th minute, Wolves shot stopper Okiemute Odah left his lines to clear a dangerous pass before Taiwo Awoniyi could pounce.

Suleiman Abdullahi goal-bound effort was then cleared off the goal line eight minutes later by a Wolves defender.

In the 42nd minute, a goal for Wolves was cancelled for off side after Roland Silas turned the ball into his net.

Joseph Eyimofe saved Wolves in the 57th minute after goalkeeper Odah was beaten to a ball by Awoniyi and two minutes later, Wasiu Jimoh failed to double the flying Eagles lead as he fired wide.

In the 61st minute, Michael Okoyoh's deflected shoot from the edge of the box was well gathered by Enaholo.

Odah denied Awoniyi when he parried his 66th minute effort back into his area. The rebound was tucked away but ruled out for off side.

Rampaging Awoniyi fired off target close to Wolves box in the 71st minute and Enaholo ensured he posted a clean sheet when he gathered a free kick on second attempt.

In the 80th minute, Odah was on hand to prevent Awoniyi from getting a goal as he makes safe off his effort and in the dying minutes Awoniyi saw his strike come off the post.

Wolves substitute Ezenwa Otorogu flicked an effort off target by whisker and Sikiru Adewale's shot went way off target in the 87th minute from a good position. [/b]

That man can't be serious, you dominate small boys but you can't win? Nonsense.

By the way do you have any information on why Isaac success is not with the team? We need a clinical finisher like him.

And is Nwakali with the team

Isaac was not released by Granada. Nwakali is processing his loan to a Spanish club so was not released by Man City.
