Alampasu is not in a better position than Uzoho at the moment

No ONAZI in ur starting line up..very unrealistic, peeps here shld realize DT onazi is d fulcrum of DT midfield whether u like it or not,an onazi will start ahead of any oda midfielder in d team


Any formation wout onazi in d line up is just like a line up wout fielding d GK position.Onazi is indispensable in rohrs team

What's with them and our physicality,have they built an alibi to discredit our quality and class,hard work and effort in case we win.
who are those physical players in our team?
is it Ebuehi,Iheanacho or Iwobi.
Balogun an Ekon are not even pure African,Ndidi plays normal football without much on physicality.
na wa for all these Oyibos

Onazi,ekong,balogun,Mikel,Moses,Ndidi and to some extent IWOBI/SIMON...re INDISPENSABLE in rohrs team barring loss of form/bad injury to dem,dey re sure starters anytime any day irrespective of d formation

Yes, Uzoho plays regularly for his team B in third division regularly while Dele Alampasu who at one time was a second choice with the team A in the second division three seasons ago had played regularly in the third division last season before he was promoted to the first team in the Portuguese first division. You can see he is progressing and he is in a better position than Uzoho.

The difference is clear.

ChrisKels:


I mean u no disrespect bro but I shouldn't be arguing with u. Onazi is indispensable and we trashed Argentina in his absence? VicMo is indispensable and we av been playing and winning in his absence . U kinda naive, sorry to say Dat. Whoever his absence ain't felt when he is off the pitch isn't indispensable. The person his absense shakes the team is Mikel and no one else. Be reasonable.

elyte89:




We av been winning and playing... Like aw many matches?...just a friendly against Argentina?
Mention any serious match we won wout onazi or moses in d starting line up under rohr


U re saying winning as if we av played close to 100matches under rohr

Are you kidding me? This is pure joke. I know deep down that if we had lost against Argeria or even Argentina you would have reminded anyone that cares to listen How important the players you mentioned are .

It is a good advantage that we can still dorminate and win match without the big players. That is How a team shoud be.

Ajagun has scored 3 goals and assisted once the 7 times he played in the AMF role. I think he deserves a look.


Nigerian Team Of The Week Honors For GK Okoye, Moses', Henrys, Uduokhai

Nigerian Team Of The Week Honors For GK Okoye, Moses', Henrys, Uduokhai
The past week saw a number of Nigerians particularly impress for their various clubsides in Europe: the likes of Bartholomew Ogbeche, Chikeluba Ofoedu and Sylvester Igboun notching braces to power their teams to victory.

Emmanuel Dennis Bonaventure, James Igbekeme and Magnus Okuonghae all got on the score-sheet respectively.

But who were the very star performers from the past weekend? Allnigeriasoccer.com brings readers the best of them all thus..

Maduka Okoye (Fortuna Düsseldorf): The 18-year old goaltender was between the sticks for his side in their 1-1 draw with Roth-Weir Oberhausen in the German Bundesliga youth league. It was his 12th appearance for his side this season.

Abdullahi Shehu (Anorthosis Famagusta): The Super Eagles defender helped his club to a hard-fought 1-0 win against Nea Salamina in a Cyproit First Division encounter, tallying his 12th start for the Blue and Whites in the process while putting in a full shift to garner the maximum points which propelled them to the summit of the league table.

Felix Uduokhai (Wolfsburg): Wolfsburg brushed aside Bundesliga opponents, Borrussia Monchengladbach 3-0, with Uduokhai part of the Die Wollf backline that resolutely held on for a total shut out. The win was their third of the season which keeps them in 11th.

Uche Henry Agbo (Standard Liege): Agbo made his 19th appearance of the season in all competitions for The Reds as they played out a 1-1 draw with Antwerp in the Belgian first division.

Chidozie Awaziem (Nantes): Awaziem and his Nantes side bounced back to draw 1-1 with Saint-Etienne after initially falling behind in the Ligue 1 clash.

The Super Eagles defender who had been a mainstay in defense for the French club was in action for the entire duration of the game while picking up a booking in the 72nd minute for his troubles.

Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester): The Leicester City midfielder was influential as the Foxes picked up their fifth win of the season in a 1-0 triumph over Burnley in the English Premier League.

The 20-year old has featured in all their domestic engagements from the start as the Leicestershire side continued their Claude Puel regime revival.

Abdul Ajagun (Kortrijk): The attacking midfielder opened the scoring in a 4-1 victory over Waasland-Beveren in the Belgian First Division A.

The 24-year old was equally on hand to set up his side's third of the game while logging the full ninety minutes. The goal was his third this season while he has two assists to his name to go with.

Sylvester Igboun (FC Ufa): Igboun put in an individual masterclass to down Amkar Perm 3-0 in the Russian Premier League, notching a brace for himself while chipping in with a further assist for his side's third.

Victor Moses (Chelsea): The Chelsea wing back assisted his side's second goal in a 3-1 win over Newcastle in the Premier League, marking his first start since October 14.

He was extremely crucial in ensuring the victory as he equally earned the penalty which led to the Blues third.

Moses Simon (KAA Gent): Simon struck the decisive goal of the game in a 1-0 win over Zulte-Waregem in a Belgian First Division match.

The goal was his fifth of the season after 15 appearances for the Buffaloes while he was also in action for the full duration of the win.

Henry Onyekuru (Anderlecht): The Super Eagles attacker thumped home the match-winner in a 2-1 defeat of Lokeren to hand his side maximum points and their 10th league win of the season in the Belgian top division.

Its a gud sign no doubt... But d fact remains,for every match won under rohr,both players av been instrumental to eagles victory

If dey re both fit and available for selection,rohr wouldn't gamble starting dem on d bench irrespective of d formation, I still stand on my point,dey re indispensable

ChrisKels:
This line ups can pull us outta that group stage with ease, barring any form of injuries and dip in form;

Against Croatia and Iceland ;


Uzoho

Shehu Ekong Balogun Idowu

Ndidi Mikel
iwobi

Moses Onyekuru
Ighalo


* Mikel as a CM gives the midfield balance as octopus Ndidi does more of the shielding playing as the DM while Iwobi with his incisive, defense-splitting passes plays ahead of them in the AM position. Mikel playing centrally will also help to annul the effect of Modric and whoever plays alongside him.

* The choice Moses is a no brainer while the choice of Onyekuru is because he is a tricky winger and can easily commit Loveren and Co. He promises goals and assists unlike most other wingers. He does well to fall back too when the team concedes possession.

* The choice of my back four is a no brainer though if Ebuehi and or OLA prove to be improvements (crosses while galloping tro and fro the line, and positional play) on Shehu at the right full back, Shehu sits.


Against Argentina probably with 6points already in the bag;


Uzoho

Awaziem Balogun Ekong

Moses Ndidi Mikel Onazi/Ogu(orJoel) Idowu

Ighalo Iwobi


* I chose Uzoho ahead of every other goalkeeper including Enyeama because I don't think Enyeama is coming back. But if he does come back (meeting the criteria needed), then he gets my nod, but until then, I'm working with what is available.

* Moses plays RWB for me because he is about the best in that position right now in the world. And he can still effect the game playing there. Lol he would be up against tired D'maria and whack Rojo.

* Ighalo and Iwobi can do it upfront like Nacho and Iwobi did it in the friendly. It won't be bad also if Kelechi starts ahead of Ighalo for set pieces and the synergy between him and iwobi. I have a selection headache here.


This is my opinion and it's open for constructive criticism

ChrisKels:


Person wey never see a second of game time even in the Portuguese lowest(regional) division let alone first division is ahead of a player with 180minutes of game time in the laliga, a cleansheet in two matches in the laliga and about seven clean sheets in segunda B.

Lol Maduka Okoye is even ahead of Alampasu presently because he plays unlike Alampasu.

When Alampasu was playing in the Portuguese third division, did u know he never kept a clean sheet abi na once sef, got his team relegated and was warming the bench at the tail end of that season bkus of his awful form.

We all read the report from feirense when they couldn't land their target keeper, they had to retain Alampasu because, half bread they say... Unless he Dele proves himself (which I pray he does) before January, he will be offloaded come January. Feirense has only just two keepers ; their unworthy number one and the emergency/interim back up Alampasu. But funny enough, Alampasu seldom makes the bench oo.

Kog45:
Yes for having two games in LA liga Uzoho is ahead of Alampasu but Maduka Okoye ahead of Alampasu?No o.

The Iceland Coach think of us a team to test their strenght outside Europe.

Iceland Coach: We’ll Play Nigeria Differently From Croatia, Argentina; We’re Without Superstars
newsheadlines.com.ng Dec 3, 2017 3:32 PM
Heimir Hallgrimsson, head coach of Iceland, reckons that the prospect of facing African powerhouse Nigeria will be new and exciting for his Cinderella side who have taken the football world by storm since qualifying and impressing at the last European Championships in France in 2016.

Speaking exclusively to Completesportsnigeria.com at the Kremlin Palace, venue of last Friday’s 2018 FIFA World Cup draw in Moscow, Hallgrimsson insists playing different countries with different football philosophies is proof positive that Icelandic football is going in the right direction.

He said: “Facing Nigeria will be a new experience for us. It is our first World Cup so everything is kind of new and exciting. Playing against a South American team and then an African team is different from what we are used to. The pedigree of Nigeria at the World Cup is good. They have experienced players in big teams

Ndidi Is Africa's Most Valuable U21 Player; Iwobi, Abraham & Iheanacho Listed In Top 100
Seven players eligible to represent the Nigerian national team have been named among the 100 most valuable U21 players in the world, in a survey conducted by the CIES Football Observatory.

According to the report published on Monday, December 4, Leicester City's Young Player of the Year Wilfred Ndidi is the eleventh most valuable U21 footballer in the world, with his transfer value increasing from 48.7 million euros to 64.8 million euros, a 33 percent increase.

The Nigeria international midfielder is the highest ranked African on the list and is ahead of Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham (25th), Arsenal's Alex Iwobi (34th), Dominic Solanke (55th), Kelechi Iheanacho (56th), Ademola Lookman (71st) and Jordon Ibe (86th).

Iwobi's transfer value has reduced from €36.2 million to €31.5 million, while Iheanacho's value has reduced to €19.4m after spending less minutes on the pitch following his transfer to Leicester City.

PSG striker Kylian Mbappe (€182.8 million) is currently the most expensive U21 player in world football, followed by Tottenham's Dele Alli (€180.2 million) and Manchester City's Leroy Sane (€124.5 million).

Seven of the eleven players with the highest transfer values for U21 players represent English Premier League clubs, including Wilfred Ndidi.
