BascoVanVeli:


What are ur other options? Good luck with Kwambe.

TheGoodJoe:


If he outperforms our other defenders in training, then he deserves the starting line up. That is one of the mistakes coaches make. Most times, the talented ones progress the teams and the experienced ones pull the team back.

If he is good enough, Awaziem is old enough to start.

BascoVanVeli:
I don't think we have to wait for Musa Mohamed to become a regular in his club, cuz from wat i can see he is our best option for both super eagles and u-23.

BascoVanVeli:


What are ur other options? Good luck with Kwambe.

tbaba1234:


That's why Nigeria should get him first. Germany has many options.

Icon4s:


Efe Ambrose, Leon Balogun, Shehu Abdulahi.

Petrobros:

Are you Saying Solomon Kwambe is the only Super Eagles Right back you know?
When last did you even watch a Super Eagles game?

BascoVanVeli:


Efe and Leon have played central back lately and Shehu to me was not that impressive.

BascoVanVeli:


It was 1965 and they were called the green eagles, fun times.

BascoVanVeli:


It was 1965 and they were called the green eagles, fun times.

Icon4s:


I think what he actually implied is since after Solomon Kwambe was experimented at Right back years back, Efe Ambrose, Leon Balogun and recently Shehu Abdulahi have been played in that position. So we do not lack right back options.

TheSuperNerd:
**more fun times** #smiles

Uhmm..... Was Nigeria's senior national soccer/football team called "the Green Eagles" in 1965?

**think well ooo** #laughs

Icon4s:


Efe or Balogun plays Right back and one of them joins Omeruo at centre back. It is as simple as that. We dnt have problems selecting our defenders. Where I think the challenge lies most is the central attacking midfielder (number 10).

BascoVanVeli:

Nope he implied being a genius and tryed to show out. Kwambe played against Swaziland and that was not years back. I feel [b]Leon and Kwambe should be left at central back [/b]that was to me one of the few good things Oliseh did. Shehu is the only option as of now but he doesn't dazzle.

BascoVanVeli:
lol i was being sarcastic o. Or do u think i'm that old?

BascoVanVeli:


No, Leon is the only option in that regards or do u forget that Efe was horrible at right back. Musa is the total package right now [b]he is our best set piece taker [/b]and don't forget gis crosses are to die for. He is also familiar with Iheanacho who should play 10 .

SO SHOW ME SOLOMON KWAMBE NAME FOR THEIR.

You just woke up and just concluded Musa Mohammed is our best choice for Right Back.

We have options aplenty at right back: Balogun, Ambrose, Shehu, Odubanjo. All of whom I feel are ahead of Musa Mohammed.

zoboizee:
The two goals conceded by nigeria in the friendly in Belgium against congo was purely shehu abdullahi's fault. He his better off a DMF and not a RB. So should not be considered a RB for the Eagles. We ve better choices in dat position home n abroad.

Pavarotti:
We've been talking about Leon Balogun so much on the U23 Olympic thread. Unless he is taken as 1 of the overaged players he wont be on the team

see this miss by one player (Kingsley Ehizibue ) who should make the team

Efe was horrible at right back?

Do u know Efe started as a centre back for the Super Eagles during Siasia's first tenure and was converted to right back by Keshi when we lacked a quality Right back.

Do you know Efe Ambrose was in the CAF11 of the 2013 AFCON? Source:http://thenet.ng/2013/02/afcon-2013-mikel-enyeama-others-make-cafs-best-xi/

Efe Ambrose has been adjudged by numerous sports analyst to be among the best Nigerian players that have ever played that Right back.

Musa Mohammed our best set-piece taker? Has he even played for the national team that you conclude he is our best set-piece taker?
I know you are making reference to his performance at U17 level. Has he been taking those set-pieces at his club?

hi house thumbs up for keeping here lively

on musa like icon4 said he's talented but not yet super eagles level hopefully sia1 can bring the best out of him in the u23s.

on the issue of the right back position don't know why we have suffered so much in producing decent ones. chidi odiah is the only proper one i remember us having the rest were either makeshift (ambrose, balogun, shedu abdullahi, yobo) or absolute clowns (yusuf mohamed, mobi oparaku)

for the final camping hope they call up nwobodo boy gats SKILLS! saw him play for rangers against kano pillars. best player on the pitch by a mile

He is not the best option... Ehizibue plays regularly at right back for PEC Zwolle in the Dutch top division.

Miss of the century? PEC Zwolle defender Kingsley Ehizibue misses open goal from ONE INCH out
17 Feb 2016
By Richard Innes
[/size]

You know when commentators react to a missed opportunity by excitedly screaming, "It was easier to score from there"? Most of the time, that's a dramatic exaggeration.

In the case of the miss you can see above, it is actually an understatement.

Take a look at the clip and, like us, you will be left baffled. How does PEC Zwolle defender Kingsley Ehizibue manage to NOT score?

The footage comes from Zwolle's Eredivisie match against Feyenoord. In the 88th minute, with his team 2-1 up, Ehizibue finds himself with an open goal. He is - quite literally - ON the goaline. He could breathe on the ball and it would go in.

Yes that really is the ball. And yes, he really did miss

And yet somehow, he missed.

You'll have to watch the video to truly understand the horror of the howler.


However, perhaps the most remarkable element of this story is that Ehizibue somehow managed to score a few minutes later, making it 3-1 in injury time.

If we had been responsible for a miss this catastrophic, we would have immediately walked off the pitch and never returned - so fair play to Ehizibue for soldering on.

Well played, sir.
