I always maintained that Pep didn't want to risk Iheanacho knowing that Aguero has never played all of his matches before. It just surprises me that he is missing due to red cards and not injuries.

The Newcastle legend has hailed the Nigeria international’s impact at the Wearside club, stating how his relegation thoughts towards them is starting to fade

Oga oo no kili me

I suspect I am suffering from ''Laughteria''

You elders are gradualy turning this thread into a comedy thread

TheSuperNerd:
I know I lack the years of football followership and experience that you have (I remember this being the key ingredient for your over-conservatism some times.... The "we-have-seen-it-all-and-been-there" attitude. The "Okocha-kanu-Oliseh-Yekini-and-co-couldnt-do-it-so-why-think-we-can-do-it-now" looks.....)
.

I even said so in last year's super debate with you, arch-guardian himself....... But I also said, I have tried to make up for that with sound reseaches into the past. I remember the chemical reagent talk really well... I believe my point was well spelt out. Different reactants' and catalysts "levels of composition" won't always yield the exact results. And under different temperature and pressure, the products won't certainly be the same. So there's still hope.... All it needs is a little "twitch"

But I have suffered heart-breaks upon heart breaks also.... 2000 Afcon Final when I was 7 before my 8th birthday few couple of weeks later in march....

Afcon 2002 semis vs senegal»» Heartbreak...

FIFA WC vs Sweden»» A game we were supposed to win.... Heartbreak!!

Afcon 2004 semis vs Tunisia»» Serious heartbreak....

Afcon 2006 semis (final remnants of our first golden generation) vs CIV and her golden generation»» Heartbreak x2

FIFA WC 2006»» Despite producing an unbeaten run since the 1-0 loss to Angola in luanda in 2004 and also spoiling it with a 1-1 stalemate with same Angola in kano... We missed GERMANY 2006. ANOTHER BIG HEARTBREAK!!!!

A generation of John Utaka, Obafemi martins, yakubull, Chidi ordiah, A young Mikel Obi, Midfield general Okocha, Magician Kanu, the mesmerising Ike Uche, The Dazzling Osaze Odemwingie, and many more lost the chance to display their wares before the world stage that would have given them enough experience for WC 2010.


Afcon 2008 quarters vs Ghana»» First time since 1982 we won't make the semis... HEARTBREAK!

Afcon 2010 semis vs Ghana»» Despite the presnece of an attack having Martins, Yakubu, Obasi, etc... Ghana still beat us... Heartbreak!!

FIFA WC 2010»» Super heartbreaks vs Greece.... Greece had never scored a WC goal or won a WC game. They did both against us that day. We were stupidly generous... HEARTBREAK GALORE...
That 2-2 stalemate vs South Korea..... Don't wanna talk about it... You know the story... HEARTBREAK!!!!


Afcon 2012»» We were not even there. First time we failed to qualify since 1986.... Heartbreak!!!

Afcon 2015»» You know how it went... Another absence... Another heartbreak...

Afcon 2017»» Another heartbreak..... But I have gotten over this to focus on the future that lies so beautifully before us... The rise of our new Super Golden Generation.... This is what brought me here... This is what I foresaw when I joined NLSports last year after SL10 NIGERIA was shut down (Only spent 2months plus with them).


I have suffered many more heartbreaks with respect with some years involving our U-20s like 1999, 2013, 2015 and even U-17s like 2001 and 2003.

So many Sir.... BUT YET, I STILL BELIEVE.

A CHINESE PROVERB I THINK SAYS, "fall down seven, get up eighth" right?

Well, I say..... "Fall down 99, get up 100th". The STORY OF CONTINUED PERSISTENCE AND DOGGED BELIEF IN SOMETHING BIG (no matter the obstacles) BEING ACHIEVED ONE DAY IS MY LIFESTYLE.

I apply same with my studies and personal life-vision (It was like a dream when at age 21, I got into the only slot for a special Classified wildcard long-term research scholarships in neurosciences and other interdisciplinary studies utilising top-class online and on-campus learning/study/training approaches) so I also believe we can see same in our football because the potentials are so boundless. It's true we have failed in times past to build on what we have but I have a feeling we can get it right this time in a couple of years.... AND EVEN IF WE FAIL AGAIN. BE REST ASSURED.... I WON'T STOP BELIEVING. WE MUST GET IT RIGHT.....

 Headlines, Top Stories







Super Eagles young forwards; Alex Iwobi, Isaac Success and Kelechi Iheanacho were listed in the Whoscored.com's top 10 EPL Under-21 players.

The list was compiled by facts and statistic football site, whoscored.com.






Other exciting Under-21 players who were also listed include: Manchester City's Raheem Sterling, Manchester United's Luke Shaw, Dele Alli of Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal's Hector Bellerin.

According to whoscored.com, Iheanacho has scored 11 league goals from just 17 shots on target since making his debut last season, to return a stunning on-target conversion rate of 64.7% in England’s top tier.

Three goals and three assists this season means Iheanacho has been directly involved in a league goal every 47.8 minutes in the EPL this term.

For Iwobi, despite not starting each of the Gunners’ last two league games, no Arsenal player has registered more league assists (three) this season than the 20 year old.

Watford's Isaac Success who has managed just 188 minutes of top-flight action, has shown glimpses of what he is all about in the handful of games he has featured in.

The 20-year-old has made just one league start for the Hornets, that coming in a 1-0 win at Middlesbrough, but netted a crucial equaliser from the bench in the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth last month.

THE FULL LIST

Isaac Success (Watford)

Alex Iwobi (Arsenal)

Kelechi Iheanacho (Man City)

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerb (Southampton)

Mikel and Victor Moses will make the first team. If we still had Enyeama, he will make the first team too.

joseph1013:
Nigeria's greatest ever players, Mikel is in top 3. Oliseh is not in top 7. That says alot.

tbaba1234:

lexyman:


The goal he scored was more difficult than the one he missed .

TheGoodJoe:


Yes, Porto and I think Galatasaray. Great with his head. I remember a game he scored at the dying minute in the Champions League, only for the opposing team to score in seconds. He was great.

Sad the Brazilian coaches did not like his style.

komekn:
What do you think of the City Centre half No. 53 for city who is obviously of Nigerian origin.
