Hehehehe! The thing just surprise me because I had thought he was Nigerian for over 6 years because all his profiles showed he is of Nigerian heritage but to come hear say na Ugandan, I no first believe am, but wetin man pikin go do?

We thank God for em grace. He is the Lord.

If it is true then we have gotten ourselves a good coach because I can't understand why we keep inviting bench warmers and using make shift RB when we have enough RB players playing regularly for their clubs.

Now, you all can see that my arguments are not in vain.

The last time I saw John Ogu played, he was totally in control of the midfield against Inter Milan. In fact, I made comments on his performance the same day.

I think he can do the job even if Mikel is not playing.

At left full, e ku ku ma better make we leave Echiejile for there ooooooo else katakata go happen.


Joel Obi! Chai! Injury just wan finish this boy career but if he continues to play for his club then I think he deserves a call up. I don't think he should be used as a Lb because you will not be able to exploit his potentials at the midfield.

ABRAHAM IS 'THE FUTURE FOR CHELSEA',
SAYS CONTE


The 19-year-old is impressing while on loan at
Bristol City, with 11 goals in 16 appearances, and the Blues boss hinted at a role for him next
season.



Antonio Conte says young striker Tammy Abraham is "the future for Chelsea".


The 19-year-old is drawing plaudits while on loan at Championship outfit Bristol City, scoring 11 goals in 16 appearances, to earn a first call-up to the England Under-21 squad in September.

Conte gave Michy Batshuayi a chance to impress up front as Chelsea were knocked out of the EFL Cup by West Ham on Wednesday and hinted at a role at Stamford Bridge for Abraham next season.

"Abraham is another young player, he's the
future for Chelsea, for sure," said Conte.

"He's very young I saw him only one week during the pre-season in America, there we decided to send him to play every game, to get experience, and then come back with us.


"Abraham has a great potential. I think the
academy is working very well.

"Next season, I think now it's important to look to the present."

Conte has not been honest with Mikel.

Period....

If Conte hard been sincere with Mikel, he wouldn't not have lied that Mikel had injury prior to the game against Zambia.

The fact is Mikel just doesn't want to paint the Coach black any more.

"He has been open and honest with me. I respect him for that. He has explained the situation and I totally understand.
"When you have been at a club for a long time, these things happen where a club wants to move forward.
"I just have to be professional, work as hard as I can to try and get into the team. I work twice as hard every day and it’s because I appreciate this club.
"I have been here a long time, have a lot of trophies and memories that will never go away. If I don’t get back in the side, I will respect it.
"I always respect the football club’s decision. The club is more important than me."

TheGoodJoe:


We are not talking Fabregas. You keep talking Fabregas. I showed you a link. Conte clearly stated he needed Mikel to win games. Now he does not want Mikel near his team. It is so simple.

enomakos:
no wonder,i think they were drunk

forgiveness:
If I say I was impressed with Ola Aina's performance yesterday I dey lie.

Maybe because he played LB.


I want to see him play RB before I form my thought about him.

Anyway, Well said Sir Blueto... Points well stated

Mikel said Conte has been honest with him and he respects him for that. You tell me conte has been dishonest with mikel. Is Mikel such a baby who can't speak for himself?
Why not get rid of sentiments and
judge the issue on ground?

terzurum5:

You expect Mikel to come out publicly to admit that Cone is dishonest with him?
The best thing to have done is what Mmikel did.

At times, it's better to be diplomatic than been confronational.

All I wish for Mikel is for him to go get a good Club that will allow him express himself.

I know you say it out of deep-sentimental preference but me no fit swallow am....


Abeg you and Yara Yara should help me recover... Haba!!! Two shockers in 24 hrs... First na Nacho be fox-in-the-box kinda striker then na this one... Una wan kill pesin?? *frowns*


Anyway shaa... Before I go into the "most critical stage" of the state of coma awaiting your "revival help", I just wanna say that there are certain Analysts here who I rate and respect a lot beyond all lines of agreements and disagreements....

Sir Joseph1013... He's a top analytical mind who loves to look at all sides. He doesn't drop much comments but when he does.... Hmmm... It's worth a read.

Sir Icon4s.... He's too experienced and "wise" for most of us. Sometimes, it's like he sees beyond what we see. Wetin else you expect from the chief guardian and elder of the halls of experience and history? **still remembers that experience vs Youth precocity debate** chaiii...

Sir BascoVanVeli.... This Oga sef... He's another respected voice in the house. Sometimes love to play the devil's advocate... all in all, his analysis is always worth a read too.

Sir Tbaba1234..... Drops comments in two or three lines... Sometimes... ONE LINE!!! Just legendary!!!!! It's amazing how someone gets to say so much and make so much sense in just one to four lines....

Sirs Terzurum5, Mickael2, Goldfish80, AIG07, Justiz5 and Madam Safarigirl must get really special mentions here..... I can't state all.... Pls this is no dig at anyone... This is actually about the moniker below who I wanna talk a little about.....


Finally....

Sir TheGoodJoe.... IS THERE A BETTER "DETAILED AND SUPER INFORMATIVE" ANALYST HERE IN THE HOUSE?? Hmmmm... It may be my own opinion but I DON'T THINK THERE IS. HE'S A BEAST ANALYST... THE BEST I'VE SEEN. Lawd!!!

Only thing be say he too like this Oshaniwa too much!!!! Even Forgiveness must be spoiling for a fight to attack that "oshaniwa better than taiwo" comment...

If you ask me, I go be the referee for that fight and truth is FORGIVENESS MUST WIN WITH A KNOCK-OUT...

EVERYONE HERE HAVE PREFERENCES BUT LET'S NOT MAKE IT SO OBVIOUS..... TheGoodJoe have always been clamouring for this oshaniwa. Well, na him sabi that one. WHAT ABOUT HIS LOVE FOR MANCITY?? CHAIIII... LEGENDARY!!! He loves them to a super fault... Looollll


Anyway, that's by the way.... No one can deny his analytical prowess.... I PERSONALLY RATE HIM THE FINEST ANALYST IN OUR MIDST ON NL SPORTS. I am sure there are several who agree....

......................................................................


Meanwhile.... I am still not recovered from the coma Sir GoodJoe..... You and Yara Yara and madam Confun berra do something... This is code-red....

goldfish80:

Fabregas and Mikel have been frozen out by the manager.

The corner stone of your argument why Mikel was dropped was that he went to the Olympics. Fabregas on the other hand had a solid pre season and didn't go to the Olympics, yet he can't get in the side, purely for footballing reasons not because of injury or incompetence.
Don't be creative by trying isolate the two cases because it doesn't suit your argument.

Icon4s:


On the contrary, I was impressed.

For his age he showed so much confidence. Not shy of taking on the position. And he has this excellent ball holding capabilities. Very skillful and creative. He did better than most of those Arsenal Ajebos that played against Reading.

Due to the formation Chelsea played he played more as LMF than as a LB.

He did ok for me for a player of his age though I am still trying to figure out where to fix him in the Super Eagles if i was Rohr.

Nigeria/Algeria: Shorunmu Cautions Eagles Against Algeria's Tricks
[/size]
By Alex Monye

Super Eagles former goalkeeper trainer, Ike Shorunmu, has warned the team to beware of the tricks usually employed by North African teams, advising that they should not allow the Algerians to put them under pressure in the build up to next month's Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier slated for Uyo.


He predicted that the Algerians would come to Nigeria full of anxiety, owing to the Super Eagles' victory over Zambia in the opening group game.


According to Shorunmu, the Algerians would try to disorganise the Super Eagles, who have now shown that they can take on any team in Africa, and therefore, advised the players to maintain the standard of play displayed in the game against Zambia.


The Super Eagles' former goalkeeper said, "The Super Eagles have all it takes to beat Algeria.
Winning in Zambia and topping the group is enough to scare the North Africans.


"So the Eagles should use the advantage they have now to maintain their leadership of the group. We have enough stars in the senior national team that can deliver the World Cup ticket. All they need is total support from Nigerians," he said.


Meanwhile, Super Eagles' Skipper, John Obi Mikel, has held a clear-the-air talks with manager Antonio Conte over his lack of playing opportunities, and wants to continue to work hard towards retaining his place in the starting XI.


Mikel told London Evening Standard that Conte "has been open and honest with me. I respect him for that. He has explained the situation and I totally understand.


"When you have been at a club for a long time, these things happen where a club wants to move forward."I just have to be professional, work as hard as I can to try and get into the team. I work twice as hard every day and it's because I appreciate this club."Mikel, 29, has played nonstop at Chelsea for more than ten years following his transfer from Lyn Oslo, Norway.

TheGoodJoe:


Has Fabregas played a game this season? Unless you decided to block your eyes to the truth. Mikel has not made bench. Fabregas has started three games for Chelsea this season.

We are talking how come Mikel never smelt bench. You are talking of a player that has played games this season.

You have no reason why Conte is not playing Fabregas regularly. There might be a personal reason we do not know. As for Mikel, no matter how you try to avoid it, Conte said he needs him to win games. Simple.

After the Olympics, not even bench.

How can someone compare a player that started three games to a player that has not smelt bench beats my imagination.

BascoVanVeli:


The difference is chelsea plan on letting Mikel go for free while they intend to sell Fabregas for money.

EXCLUSIVE: Russian Born Nigerian Defender
Brian Idowu Gate Crash Super Eagles List
For Algeria Tie




As Nigerians await the release of the list of players for the Super Eagles tie against Algeria,
Owngoalnigeria.com can confirm the inclusion of
some players in the list by manager Gernot Rohr.


Rohr confirmed to Owngoalnigeria.com that
changes will be made to the squad that defeated Zambia 2-1 in Ndola, as some fresh faces will be brought in for the November 12th tie against Algeria.

One of the names we gathered is on the list is
Russian born former Zenith St. Petersburg
Nigerian defender Brian Idowu who plays for
Amkar Perm in the Russian top division league.

24 year old Idowu is a full back who can play
either on the left or right side of defence, and he
will challenge the likes of Elderson Echiejile and
Wilfred Ndidi for the full back position.

He was born and raised in Russia and has only
once visited Nigeria in his life time, as report has
it that he was in Owerri when he was about 3-6
year old.

This season he has made 11 appearances for
Amkar Perm, where he has been since the
2011/2012 season when he left Zenith St.
Petersburg.
