coming thursday night you guys should come pick me at the airport... Hope you will be less busy sha?

Klexycole take note.

BascoVanVeli:


Wouldn't it have been easier to remove Onazi and keep Mikel? Are u saying the coach rewarded Onazi for his bad play? This has been done since Tanzania it is no fluke, the coach likes Onazi at the position if not Mikel it will be Onazi.

TheGoodJoe:


Before the game, Rohr already made it clear that Mikel might not complete the game.

The debate is not about Onazi playing good or bad. You raised the topic and I said, Onazi is not in the position to play that role because of the competition in front for that role.

BascoVanVeli:


there has been no competition nobody came in to take Mikel's position. Onazi will always been in the 11 the coach puts big trust in him.

TheGoodJoe:


There is Mikel and Etebo ahead of Onazi. Onazi needs to play the shielding role or bench for another to do it. There is not other role in the midfield available for Onazi in the starting eleven.

BascoVanVeli:

Isn't that telling a lie when u already know he has played another role in the midfield?

tbaba1234:
I think Mikel should be played in Defensive Midfield.

In the game against Zambia, It took the introduction of Esiti to calm thing down. Against Algeria, the midfield collapsed again. Mikel is the most experienced defensive midfielder on the team, I believe that if he plays there alongside Etebo, Ndidi or Onazi, the defense will be better protected.

TheGoodJoe:


Someone said it was time we unshackled Onazi and give him a more advanced role. That is, have someone sit behind him to shield the defence. He used a term, a kind of Vidal.

I disagree because with Etebo and Mikel in the side, it will prove difficult playing Onazi ahead of any.

So, if Onazi does not want to sit, then he needs to make space for another.

tbaba1234:
Musa Muhammad is one player that needs to find a way to play regularly. When Omeruo got hurt, the coach did not trust him enough to put him on. If by next year, we have Ebuehi, Idowu, Ola Aina etc... I doubt, he will even get a look-in.

TheGoodJoe:


Iheanacho was against a cagey defence. Not all teams we play will set up like. In a less cagey situation, he will shine like a million stars.

Mickael2:


me I don't even know what you are arguing. Ok when did Onazi play that position? In the dying moments of the two games in questions, I mean if you really do understand football well, you will know that in such circumstances Mikel's lack of game time has gotten to him, and Onazi can still mark the ball atleast so who to sub is quite easy to decide. But in a case where the coach introduces Ndidi and pushes Onazi up the field isn't because he wants to change Onazi's position in the near future, it's because he wants to take Onazi far away from our defensive third this is because one single misplaced pass from him or one bad tackle could lead to an equaliser. So the sub is more like 'I know you can still mark the ball in these dying moments, but I don't trust you in and around our box, so push up the field and do your stuff there'. Haba! What will Onazi be doing there from the start of the match? Do you know how many times I clapped for Mikel that day? I doubt if he misplaced up to three passes or even got dispossessed at all. Put Onazi in there and we won't have up to 10% ball possession, that's why he is used there in the final moments when we don't need ball possession, we just need to win the ball back and waste minutes

BascoVanVeli:



It would be a waste of my time if i argued Onazi with u, all u are going to say is he can't pass. Next.

Russia 2018 World Cup: Beat Eagles or get
fired – Cameroon FA tells coach


In a swift reaction to Cameroon’s 1-1 draw
against the Chipolopolo of Zambia, the soccer
governing body in that country, FECAFOOT on
Monday charged the Indomitable Lions coach,
Hugo Broos and his backroom staff to ensure they beat the Super Eagles in the double header of the Russia 2018 World Cup qualifying games next August.


FECAFOOT, while expressing its dissatisfaction
over the home draw requested the Belgian -born
football tactician to put Cameroon’s World Cup
campaign back on track and handed a two-
match must win ultimatum against Nigeria.

Broos has more than eight months to prepare his team, in order to destabilize the Eagles in the decisive away (Uyo) and home (Limbe) fixtures.


Broos in his post-match comments after the draw with Chipolopolo said there was still much work to be done.


“We had a very bad first half. In addition, the free kick, which caught the team off guard was as a result of lack of concentration.


“But it shows us what we are capable of, and
what we still have to do to improve ourselves. The next few months would be for the AFCON
tournament in Gabon.

“However, we know that the matches against
Nigeria will be decisive. We will have to win to
have another chance to go to the World Cup. We have eight months to prepare,” Broos was quoted as saying.


In a statement released by the Cameroonian
Football Federation, the four-time Afcon winners
had set their sights on halting the Super Eagles’
great run of form to get to the quadrennial
tournament.

The Super Eagles defeated the Desert Foxes of
Algeria 3-1 last Saturday to lead group B log with six points, while Cameroon is second with two points. Algeria and Zambia are level on a point each.

ESPN Settles Debate On Best Left Back On The Planet, Choose Alaba Ahead Of Barca, Real Madrid, Chelsea Stars

Published: November 15, 2016

Two players of Nigerian descent David Alaba and Dele Alli have been included in ESPN’s #FC10, a list of the top performers in every position across the pitch and the dugout.

Bayern Munich star Alaba was ranked the best left back in the world, beating the likes of Jordi Alba (Barcelona) Marcelo (Real Madrid), Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea), Patrice Evra (Juventus) and Danny Rose (Tottenham) to the accolade.

“The 24-year-old Austrian is arguably the archetypal modern player, ” ESPN wrote.

“Technically smooth on the ball and equally comfortable almost anywhere on the pitch, this season alone the Bayern Munich star has played in four different positions for club and country: left-back, defensive midfield, attacking midfield and forward,” ESPN wrote.

Tottenham Hotspur star Dele Alli featured in the top ten attacking midfielders on the planet. The former MK Dons wonderkid was ninth on the list .

REVEALED: Kayode, Salami, Three Others Top List Of Foreign Pros For Egypt Friendly




The proposed friendly game between Nigeria and Egypt will see coach Gernot Rohr hand invitation to some players who have not been given a look in since he took over the team.


Although the list is expected to be dominated by players from the Nigeria Professonal Football
League, some foreign base stars are lined up for
the game as well.

Owngoalnigeria.com reliably gathered that Rohr
has already concluded plans to call up Olarenwaju Kayode who has been doing very well for Austria Wien of Austria, while Gbolahan Salami who finished as top scorer for Finnish side KuPS is also been considered.


Goalkeeper David Nwokolor who keeps goal for Bosnian side Vitez will be called up by Rohr for the friendly game against Egypt on the 9th of January, while unconfirmed reports has it that Godfrey Obaboana could be called up as well.

Obaboana’s inclusion could depend on some
many factors but with the Turkish league

I watched some clips of Aluko today after he picked up the Championship Player of the Month, and he was excellent. He can produced even more than Etebo did since he packs skills with his work rate. Then Nwobodo is an excellent choice too. Bundle of skills, hardworker. I want Rohr to give him a chance.

Loogan:


please if you have a clip of that nwobodo guy share, would like to see the guy

OdenigboAroli:


Wish them the best and move on. No need crying over spilt milk,after all,they are not better than what we have got. We still have the likes of Iheanacho,Kelechi Nwakali,Osimhen,Isaac success ,Iwobi,
Ndid,Nwobodo and tens of more waiting on the flank.We are fully stacked to the brim.
