Haruna Lukman made an impression on technical adviser, Lars Lagerback in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Saudi Arabia.
Team media officer, Idah Peterside told kickoffnigeria.com that Lagerback was impressed with the young midfielder.
"Lagerback was very impressed with Haruna" Peterside said.
"He says he has a future and that he can do a lot better." "It was his first cap and the coach decided to allow him play 90 minutes to show what he can do. And he showed a lot of promise"

well, looks like he's the first name on the list and deservedly so. He needs to improve though especially his passing.

So [size=16pt]1[/size] player impressed Lagerback? I guess we got some hope then!

i thought so, he had a positive impact in our team.

Lol, lagerbackwards should have known that this isnt time for impressions, this is time for finishing touches

Dudes, dudes, let's calm down. This is Peterside saying what Lagerback "apparently" felt about Haruna. Indirect speeches are always bound to have inaccuracies and some overbloating. I'm sure Lars was satisfied but to say impressed is another issue. I was impressed with Anichebe because during the 1st half he was fighting alone and managed quite well.

Haruna is a pleasant surprise because he commanded the midfield in the 2nd half despite it being his 1st match with the Eagles. But he was far from "impressive". He should keep it up and gain more in composure.

He isnt finished product yet but he has got potential no doubt. I believe he will make to SA

hmmmmmmmm, surprise on the way,anyway few days to come all tension will be maximized.

"He says he has a future and that he can do a lot better."

Hmm, Seems to me that he's hinting that Haruna isn't ready for the World Cup. Dunno.

^^^ true, thats another perspective

he tried bt should be more careful wt his tackling which is kind of hard and might earn him couple of yellows or reds in the WC and we know d implications of playing wt one man down.

Haruna is gud fballer. lars should him alongside mikel, think d midfield will b ok. Pls tell lars 2 drop kanu and yakubu.

hmm

its yakubu i cant bear seeing. He should free international footballing

He did a gud job 2day.

Haruna is growing on me.

Fantastic strike against Colombia.

Haruna will make the team. However the teachnical guy need to walk on him.

well, all i have to say is that Haruna is a gud player, but, he has to work on his attitude,
imagine, every tackle they make on him is a mistake, (him wan turn am to ROYAL RUMBLE)

LagerBEER abi na Lagerback or LagerFront, make him give dat guy attitude adjustment OR,
