[b][size=14pt] Nigeria: Wrong Tactics, Players' Selection Cost Eagles CHAN Glory - Peters [/size] By Joshua Odeyemi Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh's wrong tactics and players' selection rubbed Nigeria of African Nations Championship (CHAN) glory, former national team handler, James Peters has said. Peters told Daily Trust in Abuja yesterday that Oliseh was unable to prove that he had the best two players in each position at the Championship which is still ongoing in Kigali, Rwanda. The Super Eagles were sent parking in the group stage after coming third behind Tunisia and Guinea, their worst outing in the championship meant for football players plying their trade in the local leagues. Peter said: "There could be wrong selection and we did not have the right tactics to unlock the opponents. It's like we didn't study the opponents. We should be able to develop the tactics that will offset the opponents. When we were there [in Kigali], we were watching the teams as spectators. "From what I saw, I don't think we had the best players. I don't think we had enough players in each position. If one man is not there, another person should replace him. Look at what happened to [Chisom] Chikatara, when he was not there, the team was not clicking." He also posited that Oliseh lacks the experience to handle a big team like the Super Eagles, calling for the appointment of an experienced coach to support him. "When you have young coaches like that, you need an experience coach, old hand to stay with them and be their backroom staff. But we don't do that in this country. Everybody thinks the old hand wants to take his job but it's unfortunate." He however, kicked against the employment of an expatriate to assist Oliseh with the Super Eagles, insisting that there were old but capable hands in the country to do the job. Regarding the double header AFCON qualifiers against Egypt next month, Peters warned Oliseh to pick the best players for the encounter for the team to be victorious. "I hope that the best [players] will be picked. If the best are picked, there is no way we are going to lose to Egypt." "We have the players that can offset Egypt with the right formation, with the right tactics." allafrica.com/stories/201602041031.html [/b] |

The former Amkar Perm of Russia midfielder won the Danish league with FC Midtjylland last season and he wants a repeat of that experience at Odense. "My main target with OB is to help the team get back to the top of the Danish league again with my contribution. OB are a top team in Danish football," Izunna said. OB Odense are seventh with 24 points from 18 games. The league resumes February 26. Izunna, who has never played at any club without a Nigerian team mate, said he won't feel lonely at his new club. "I won't feel lonely. Denmark is my second home," he said. africanfootball.com//news/608834/Izunna-targets-back-to-back-league-crown-in-Denmark [/b] 1 Like |

Icon4s: Hence Coach Oliseh wants to play in Port Harcourt, the Super Eagles have no reason to play in Kaduna. NFF should have contacted Oliseh before picking a stadium. If the coach complains, NFF will scream unprofessional. Meanwhile, they are the most unprofessional sector in this country. Road transport Union can not behave like this. 2 Likes |

NFF is the most useless (dis)organization I know. How can you oppose the choice of stadium of a coach? I really have no expectations for success of our teams this year. Imagine telling Oliseh that he should have endured without salaries cos other coaches did. Question: were their salaries delayed? Did that stop them from traveling all over the world under the guise of working for the football body? Any success is inspite of this awful association. 3 Likes 1 Share |

And this is caused by a particular "continuity" virus. Mehn!!! I'm done with the NFF........... Like seriously. So All Oliseh gotta do is just "try" and make the most of the situations as they come.

In case u needed any more reasons to love this guy. Chinese Super League club offered Odion Ighalo 'almost £300,000 a week' Watford striker Odion Ighalo has said he was offered nearly £300,000 a week to move to the Chinese Super League. A number of big-name players have signed for Chinese clubs, with Jiangsu Suning paying Chelsea £25 million for Ramires and Shakhtar Donetsk £38.5m for Alex Teixeira, while Guangzhou Evergrande landed Jackson Martinez for £32m. The Daily Mail reports that Hebei China Fortune, who signed Gael Kakuta on Friday, attempted to secure the signature of Ighalo, who has scored 14 Premier League goals this season. The Nigeria international said: "I was very close. They made a £10m bid and were offering me over £200,000 a week; a four-year contract. I couldn't sleep for three days. "That kind of money is not easy to turn down. Some teammates in the dressing room were saying, 'You can't miss this chance.' But I don't jump into decisions like that. "I prayed about it, and God said it was not for me, no matter how much money it was. I knew God would direct me. When I said I don't want to go, they offered me more money, almost £300,000 a week. I told them it's not about the money." Ighalo, who signed a new five-year contract at Watford in September, added: "They have called again and I have turned them down again. Maybe if I keep scoring goals, that team will come with triple the money at the end of the season. When the time is right to go to China I will know. If it's for me it will come to pass. "When I was in Ajegunle, I was watching the Premier League, dreaming one day I would be part of it. If I keep doing what I'm doing I can enjoy my football in England for four, five or six years. "I helped this team to promotion. How can I leave because of money? I know money is good. With that sort of money I can secure my life. But you can't sell your dream." 1 Like |

My question is, are we saying the NFF is hiding money? To make allegations without concrete evidence is naive and wrong. The NFF sent the chan team to SA and paid for everything also as we all recall Pinnik paid for the assistant coach's surgery out of his own pocket so the fact that they didn't like the food is nonsense, it is what a child would say. A grown man would clamp down and eat the food, not cry for home cooking. None of this came out prior to them losing so.... |

krattoss: The Chinese super league is on the rise. We should never underestimate the power of money. Unlike the mls and other smaller leagues they are getting player while in their prime. It is great for football that there could be more strong leagues outside Europe. I certainly hope our league teams can sell some players to them it would bring in much needed revenue. |

BascoVanVeli: The good of crying out is to stop the irresponsibility of the NFF. The reason why we do not have lots of companies sponsoring the Super Eagles is the mismanagement. If good lifestyle is not important, why do you think clubs spend so much to keep their players living well? Why do competitions come with top class accommodation for players? Our Coaches kept quiet for too long that we feel it is right for the NFF to maltreat coaches. Look at how they left Coach Siasia's team with wash and wear jersey and they queried him for complaining. If Amaju Pinnick can not rally for sponsorship for our international football teams, he should step down. 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Ighalo Misfires As Tottenham Edge Watford, Go Second [/size] Odion Ighalo could not add to his 14 Premier League goals on Saturday as Tottenham Hotspur edged Watford 1-0 to move into second place in the Premier League table. Defender Kevin Trippier scored the only goal off a Dele Alli assist. Defeat for Manchester City earlier in the day opened the door for the Lilywhites to move up one position, and they were able to do exactly that thanks to a sixth win on the bounce in all competitions. Spurs dominated the game throughout, but it required Trippier’s goal 25 minutes from time to make the telling difference and keep their title hopes well on track. The visitors set themselves up with five players in the middle in an apparent attempt to stifle Spurs’ attacking threat, which largely worked for the majority of the opening 45 minutes. Harry Kane was able to get a brief sight of goal, which Heurelho Gomes was equal to on his return to North London, but it was a case of the home side remaining patient in their build-up play. That Gomes stop provided a sign of things to come, as the Brazilian was alert to deny a lively Ben Davies down the right on a couple of occasions, while Erik Lamela also saw his long-range drive routinely kept out. Watford looked to be on the ropes at that stage, having already seen Mousa Dembele blast narrowly wide moments earlier, yet the key breakthrough goal did not arrive prior to the break. www.completesportsnigeria.com/ighalo-misfires-as-tottenham-edge-watford-go-second/ [/b] |

What about the Enyeama issue, when he complained about the Kaduna venue, siting security chanllenges. Why don't they also learn how to address some critical and delicate issues inhouse? Must they always wash their dirty linen in the public? Why are they fond of using the media to send threats to the Coaches and players when they go wrong? That's very unprofessional as well. 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Ogu Scores As Ikeme Keeps Ninth Clean Sheet; Echiejile, Onazi Dropped [/size] By Johnny Edward: Nigeria midfielder John Ogu was on target for Hapoel Be’er Sheva in their 2-0 victory over Maccabi Netanya on Saturday. Ogu sealed the league win in the 67th minute after Elyani Barda opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time. In England, Kelechi Iheanacho failed to offer any inspiration when he came on as a second half substitute in place of Fabian Delph in Manchester City’s 3-1 humiliation to league leaders Leicester City on Saturday. It was Iheanacho’s 16th Premier League appearance for the Citizens who are now third in the English Premier League table and five points adrift of top spot. At White Hart Lane, Odion Ighalo failed to score in his second straight game for Watford who lost 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur. Ighalo played all 90 minutes but failed to add to his goal tally in the EPL. At St James Park, Victor Anichebe made his third start for West Brom this season as they suffered their tenth league defeat of the season with a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United. He was replaced by Salomon Rondon with 16 minutes left in what was his sixth league game for the Baggies this srason. At the Britannia Stadium, Osaze Odemwingie came on for Xherdan Shaqiri in Stoke City’s 3-0 loss at home to Everton. The former Nigerian international has made five appearances for the Potters this season. In France, Elderson Echiejile did not make the Monaco squad that beat Nice 1-0 on Saturday. At the Saint Mary’s Stadium, Nigerian duo of Emmanuel Emenike and Victor Moses both featured for West Ham who stumbled to a 1-0 defeat against Southampton. While Moses was handed his first start in two months and was later replaced by Andy Caroll on the hour mark , Emenike replaced Michail Antonio in the 73rd minute on his debut. In the Championship, Carl Ikeme kept his ninth clean sheet this season in goal for Wolves who forced Reading to a goalless draw. In Italy,Ogenyi Onazi was left out of Lazio’s squad that travelled to Genoa. In the Bundesliga, Leon Balogun made his 11th start for FSV Mainz who edged Hannover 96 by a lone goal. www.completesportsnigeria.com/ogu-on-target-enyeama-ikeme-keep-clean-sheet-echiejile-onazi-dropped/ [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Emenike Makes West Ham Debut In Southampton Defeat [/size] Emmanuel Emenike made his West Ham debut on Saturday but he saw his side lose 1-0 to 10-man Southampton in a Premier League clash at St. Mary’s. The Nigerian striker, who joined West Ham on loan during the week, repaced Michail Antonio on 73 minutes as West Ham chased the equaliser following Maya Yoshida’s first half strike. Victor Moses started the match but he was taken off for Andy Carroll in the second half as West Ham trailed. Yoshida made the breakthrough in the ninth minute, but West Ham were boosted early in the second period when Victor Wanyama saw red for a rash challenge on Dimitri Payet. The visitors could not find a leveller, however, as Southampton made it five consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League with their fourth win in five matches, which has moved them into seventh position in the table, just one spot behind West Ham. Southampton started on the front foot and had an excellent chance to make the breakthrough in the eighth minute when Cedric Soares met a deep cross from Shane Long, but West Ham stopper Adrian produced a super save. The Saints had the lead less than one minute later, however, when Wanyama poked a low cross into Yoshida and the centre-back swept his effort past Adrian from close range. The returning Graziano Pelle also came close for the hosts inside 12 minutes, but the Italian international could only head a Cedric cross wide of the post as West Ham struggled to settle on the south coast. www.completesportsnigeria.com/emenike-makes-west-ham-debut-in-southampton-defeat/ [/b] |
