My expectation for Cyprus cup is that I want to see a more cohesive attack play. Lets see if the coach can improve the midfield to attack connection. We should do well against these teams as we are now more organised. Oshoala will have a lot of joy.
Am I the only one who think Oshoala should be given free role... She seems more mature than the other players.

I will take Ceclia Nku AS shut up money but we need more grafters in the middle and we need more pace on the flanks.

The Wings is already filled with fast player's...
By the way Cecilia Nku is the a top notch player...If you watch her Game very well right from her U20 days you will know that she's a modern day Midfielder...a typical no10 with alot of passing technic.

Outside Oshoala and Ordega there is not one single speedster on that team.

Nku should replace Chikwelu.

Alice Ogebe is a deadly speedsters alongside Uchenna Kanu....But for Alice Ogebe to make the World Cup team will be difficult.

Uchenna Kanu plays any position upfront... she uses both feets effectively.

Maybe during the U20 world cup in Canada but I doubt she scored all those goals in America playing on the wings. We shouldn't play players out of position until we have tried out all the naturals

Uchenna Kanu is 100% better. She is a good header, Skillful A set peice specialist she is fast and very energetic Good height.. and scores with ease. She has better qualities than Esther Sunday
Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by Schemerkhiz: 3:45pm On Feb 25, 2019
UKanu is a more complete player than Esther Sunday....
Esther might probably have experience than Kanu due to their age of playing football... But I will always choose Kanu due to her youthfulness and other qualities.

They play the same position....Both play especially From the Left Wing forward....
they both uses both feets effectively. But Uchenna Kanu can also be deployed as a number 9...

I don't think she has been playing much as a winger for her school. Esther is a profession winger, she practices and plays that position for her club

Kanu is naturally a striker, She play from both wings and also as a top 9 sometimes the way Ordega does.

Strikers naturally drift to the wings to find space but that does not mean that they can produce as out and out wingers. We have too many players to be forcing any to play out of position.

Btw have u heard anything about Aminat Yakubu lately? Used to be a lightning-fast winger

Nigeria vs Austria tomorrow. Austria have been training well since weekend, while we had our first and maybe only training this evening. Tough match it will be, but we will not lose.

@OrdegaF becomes the latest African to make the China move. The Nigerian forward joins Shanghai W.F.C after four years at American club @WashSpirit . She is set to don the No. 11 jersey for the
#CWSL side who finished 5th in the league last season.
