OGBENI,START facing d reality


Beside,d only thing MUSA DID ON THE PITCH today was to COLLECT THE ARM BAND FROM ONAZI


D Question is y do we still invite dis MYOPIC MUSA GUY

and the post for savage of the year goes to......

DerideGull:
I have not seen any ball juggler or skillful ball handler in the Super eagle’s midfield since the retirement of Okocha and Nwankwo. Even fluid footballers such as Finidi George and Amunike are hard to see in the recent super eagle’s line up. I think Ihenancho could be coached to handle the function but he seems to lose his footings quite easily. Super eagles will have tough tine in Moscow without a fluid midfield.

if and when we play a 442 with nacho as the ss, then I think the emphasis is on his pressing not midfield or passing prowess. We will always lose the midfield battle. I expect to see a different approach today as Rohr has stated. Trying out different formations.

MetalJigsaw:
I'm not worried one bit. There are several other players. Make he even rest sef

I know so many will come for my head, but been an ardent follower of nacho... I have observed he doesn't do well when asked to link midfield and attack... The ss role or am role..... The Chelsea and Poland games have confirmed my assertion.. He was poor in both games.... He's link up play is nothing to write home about... But his pressing was excellent .. He did so well in the Argentina game because odogwu Mikel was linking the play... Just my observation though... I may be wrong

MetalJigsaw:
Imagine Ezenwa against Lewndowski.

Imagine him against all the aerial balls from Poland.
...hmmm

or Mario Mandzukic.. Messi.. Or imagine Ezenwa showboating at the world cup..... Ahhhh.. I honestly believe Uzoho is a better option. He just has to improve, and probably do away with jitters. I observed at every freekick in the Poland game he was struggling to position the defence.. With more games this can be cured though. I know Ezenwa will play the Serbia game.. Cos if I were Rohr I would test him against European opposition to see how he performs.... Fingers crossed.

komekn:
Igwe relax, I no fit yan English 4 d mata again.

Dis Leicester were u deh talk dem no get EGHO to burn, U don reason wit u sef d ting were u deh talk. So u think say small club like Leicester get money to spend on future unproven potential Abe.

Sorry u luv for dis KC guy deh blind ur eye

So u tink say dem spend £25 mila make e come play U23.

I beg wake up, eeee be like u deh dream.

lol bros.... Dis ur yannis nor comot road... E get plenty conto.... The way d thing flow pesin go just knw say na foreign..... The langua naim I mean o.... Area

daveP:
That cheekbone structure and his eye sockets sell him away. But since its not a trivial issue, we all just wanna focus on the team's success. But as for me, no one can convince me on this again.


Good to see how we play without Mikel. No one is totally indispensable.

yeah... Let's focus on that... Hope to see him improve on his performance.. I'll pick him over ezenwa everyday.. And this is not a knee jerk reaction... How he deals with aerial balls and crosses, ticks it for me... Just imagine ezenwa against Algeria flapping at high balls.... My opinion though.

Uzoho looking his age with hair/beard cut.

Las Palmas Star Etebo Rules Himself Out Of Nigeria-Serbia Pre-World Friendly
Published: March 25, 2018
Las Palmas star Oghenekaro Etebo has confirmed that he will not be fit to suit up for the Super Eagles when they face Serbia in their third pre-World Cup friendly at the Hive Stadium in London this coming Tuesday, allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report.
The central midfielder sat out the national team's training session on Sunday morning because he did not want to aggravate his injury from which he has not fully recovered.
It would be recalled that Etebo had to be substituted at half-time after suffering discomfort in the quadriceps muscle in Las Palmas's 2-0 loss to Villarreal CF in La Liga two weeks ago, and the club's medical team recommended that he should stop all sporting activities for the time being.
Las Palmas are hoping that their Nigerian star will be fit for their first game after the international break against Real Madrid next weekend.
Junior Ajayi, Gabriel Okechukwu and Mikel Agu, who did not figure against Poland, participated in the national team's training session this morning.
With Etebo ruling himself out of the friendly against Serbia, manager Gernot Rohr has six central midfielders to pick from - John Ogu, Eddy Onazi, Joel Obi, Wilfred Ndidi, Uche Agbo and Agu.

Truidstar:
its obvious some of us now know better than the technical crew. Our job is to support the team and trust Rohrs Judgement. We know where we are coming from and where we are presently, yet we still complain.

oga komekn... You really believe unreservedly that some of us here know better than the technical crew.. Even with the results... *covers face*... This is very funny. ... Lol.... Really conceited on your part...

komekn:
I would agree with that unreservedly.

Even if some may think thats conceited on my part.

he made that statement tongue in cheek as a reaction to metaljigsaw's criticism of Mikel agu's call up ... And you fell for it.... Lol

Super Eagles Player Ratings Vs Poland : Victor Moses, Uzoho, Balogun, Ekong The Standouts
Published: March 23, 2018
A penalty goal from Victor Moses was just enough for the Super Eagles to see off Poland in their friendly encounter at the Stadion Mjejski in Wraclow on Friday evening. But how did every one of the Eagles fare?

Goalkeeper
Francis Uzoho: Made a hoax of a cross which nearly allowed Krychowiak to prod over the line but for Balogun's clearance. Looked tensive in stretches though his point blank save to deny Lewandowski was phenomenal. 8/10

Defenders
Shehu Abdullahi: Pushed up from right and looked to instigate attack. Came off for Tyronne Ebuehi after some discomfort. 7/10
William Troost-Ekong: Marshalled the backline with his sturdy challenges and always put his body on the line. 8/10
Leon Balogun: Failed to track down Robert Lewandowski who struck the woodwork in the opening stages before making a crucial goal line clearance. A satisfactory performance though. 8/10
Brian Idowu: Did his fair share of defensive contribution but offered very little going forward. 7/10

Midfielders
Wilfred Ndidi: Was full of life in the midfield battle though passing was erratic. 7/10
Joel Obi: Added a physical edge to his game and always looked to connect with the attackers. 7/10
Alex Iwobi: Showed flashes of brilliance and tricky footwork down the left flank but final balls came to nothing. Came off in the second half for Ahmed Musa. 7/10
Victor Moses: Went on a few mazy runs but failed to break down a resilient Polish defence. Picked himself to convert from the spot after he was felled in the area. 8/10

Attackers
Kelechi Iheanacho: Was largely kept quiet and drifted backward to pick up stray balls. Was replaced by John Ogu in the closing stages. 6/10
Odion Ighalo: Always looked to get in behind Kalil Glik and Kaminski and held up the ball on occasions. 7/10

Substitutes
Ahmed Musa: Went on his trademark runs during his short time on the pitch though nothing spectacular was carved out. 5/10
Ogenyi Onazi: Helped shore up middle after coming on with keeping passing simple. 5/10
Kenneth Omeruo: Brought on to help curtail the Poland attack. 5/10
Tyronne Ebuehi: Helped the defence to hold onto their slender advantage though had very little to do.
John Ogu: Merely added fresh legs after coming on.
Moses Simon: Spent very little time on the pitch to be scrutinized.

daveP:
i think Moses needs a partner in crime that understands him in the team, like the Emenike-Ideye pair.

I noticed that after he dribbled, no one came out to receive him pass, no one. I have a problem though, he is selfish. and we don't need this at the mundial where we would be punished for that.


good angle, our defenders have improved in their comfy kinda passing and accuracy.


Balogun is low on confidence, he would have made mistakes if he was at CB. He did well at LB though.

you say... Balogun.. Lb.... How... No bro... He played cb.... Idowu played lb.....

asha80:
I think on the average there was more bp issues with the 2000 clash than 2002 clash despite 2002 clash going into penalties..the 2000 clash was the one aghahowa equalized to make it 1-1 with like 2 mins to the end of the match..fadiga gave the Senegalese the lead in the first half...aghahowa scored again the extra time to make it 2-1

ye thanks.. Imagine me young guy can't remember Nada.... The elders in the building who can recall games of the 80s are really trying... Remember the cam vs nig AFCON final 2000 penalty with.. Shud be ikpeba missing... Àbí... The one he scored but held his head and the referee said no goal.. That game ná die....

asha80:
nigeria vs cotevoire semi final had a lot of bp issues

first time I saw a fan faint.. And the guy was sitting right next to me. Nig vs Senegal AFCON. . Shud be 2002. .... Oruma missed a penalty. . Can't remember well sha..someone should correct me if I'm wrong.. But I knw that it was a penalty miss... After that day I was like person nr go kill himself for football o

Finally!

Unical Senate List Has Been Uploaded!

Weldone DSA Unical!

did you check online or in school... If in school where... Tnx

You know you could not forgive her, why accept her back.... Obviously you loved the pvssy...... I know that feeling bro. .... Continue

somehow:
Didn't know they can't sign more than 3 non-EU players.
Thanks

So Coutinho doesn't have EU passport? how many years has he spent in Europe?

Arthur won't be available till next season or mid next season.

they can't bro.. Coutinho will soon pick up an EU passport... Hence the securing of Arthur's signature..... Messi and suarez already have EU passports.. Would have been great if ndidi signed for barca... But it ain't happening bro.... No space + he's non EU...

ChrisKels:
Has Authur come as a backup to Busquets or Iniesta?

busquets..... But either case... The NON-EU spots must have being occupied

congo4ka:
d guy is a leaner joooor simple Okafor's law of Congo dynamics go work on ladies like safari. Just tell her "Safarilady, I am an asstronaut and my next mission is to explore Uranus and your clitoris" she will know you are not ready to play

... I have pissssed my pants with laughter here.....jeez.... U savage bro.... That guy na real learner abeg.... He just de worsen the thing by making it public... Simply slide into her dm.... Chat her up... Get her number,, call her have a sit down.... U de nairaland de shout, aunty I see u but I de fear your friend face...... Plz.... Kikikikkikikiki

Icon79:
Coutinho would be getting an EU passport soon, so there might be room for Ndidi. But I really won't like for him to go to Barca at this time because that would mean being a backup .... Sergio Busquets still have about 2 to 3 years of top level football left in him.


O pari

no room for ndidi, they have signed Arthur from gremio Brazil so very unlikely.. He should focus on the Liverpool move.. He's good enough and can cut it there ...

somehow:
Barcelona needs a DM to deputise Busquet, shouldn't they be looking his way? At Barcelona, he will surely master these other aspects within one season.

Barcelona already have 3 NON-EU players in suarez, coutinho and Mina... Plus they have secured a deal for Arthur from gremio to deputize for busquets .... Thus they don't need him.

Modified.... Suarez has an EU passport... It's paulinho

forgiveness:
Make Chelsea buy am!?

I nr sure say space de dere for am. ... Liverpool better.... If the rumours are true. ... The thing is Liverpool nor de win trophy.... Lolz... Liverpool fans will come for my head now.

kingphilip:
a striker should be fielded from the goalkeeping position to the striking position then

the best gk in the world... Manual nuer.... Can pick a pass from 50 yards.. Best rb Dani Alves.. Or carvajal have their fair share of goals and assists... Best cb ramos and pique... Turns up same.. Even now kompany and otamendi..... Best lb marcelo and alba.... Goals and assists.... Best dm.... Casemiero you know his story.... We don't really have to discuss cms, ams, fws, and strikers....its their job.... Goals and assists.... Hope you get now...

Icon4s:
I for one blamed Iheanacho for the poor pass and also Mahrez for not being able to make the best out of that situation. I think only one other person saw reasons with me. The majority completely put the blame on Mahrez.

People should learn to say things the way they are.

Please post those screenshots if you want to.

CAF: Nigeria's Akwa United sends Libya's Al-Ittihad home with referee's help

Libya's Al-Ittihad lost 2-3 on penalties against Nigeria's Akwa United as part of the round of 32 of CAf Confederation Cup.
The two teams finished the 90 minutes 1-0 for Akwa United. Libya's Al-Ittihad won the first leg match 1-0 in Sfax, Tunisia.
Of a devastating impact were the referee's decisions toward Al-Ittihad players.
Libyans scored at the beginning of the match but the referee canceled it on offside grounds, then he sent Al-Ittihad's coach out with a red card for his meddling in the game's decisions taken on the pitch.
The host, Akwa United, played well in the second half and scored a goal, then Al-Ittihad's Mohammed Al-Tabbal tied the score but the referee rushed to cancel the goal on - again - offside grounds, putting Al-Ittihad's players on fire.
He afterwards sent Al-Tabbal off with a red card for his argument for his canceled goal.
Penalties gave the host the three pints of the match and qualified them for the next round, while Al-Ittiahd - burdened by the referee's wrong calls - backed bags and flew back home.

Funny story...

Danielnino00:
Believe me,if Klopp is really interested in Ndidi and he eventually gets him,it will take little time for him to become the world class player he is meant to be...

And just like Icon4s said, he should stay away from Mou.. I'd add that he avoid Pep too.. those two managers have the habit of having little patience with their players when they are underperforming..

on point

realpoacher:
Oga na you be the funny one here, are you saying that coaches don't play a double 4 or what?...or you are saying that you have never heard of that statement in football before?

If you haven't then I will say that you are an amateur, a rookie and a novice in this beautiful sport, and as such i will say that no one should take all these your rantings serious.

2006 world cup in Germany, France played most of the tournament with a double 4 in Patrick Vieira and Jean cleude Makalele.

Let's not even go too far since you are still a lil boy who just began watching football recently. The last Man u match against Sevilla in Europa at old Trafford, Mourinho started the match with double 4 , Matic and Fellaini .


So, What was your question again?

awww..... My guy dr vex.... Nr vex oga..... I was only trying to tell you that Chelsea plays the double 4 too... Kante and bakayoko.... Same thing.... Oya come we hug.... Nor be quarrel..why you de vex like that... I am not owing debt am I... Calm down and don't go ranting on me...

.. I like ndidi too... Tough love

Modified : for your information I watched Nigeria 99, live....watched okocha and kanu live at the Warri city stadium... Memory is sketchy... So oga... Mind your utterances....

realpoacher:
You are a funny guy walahi.

When you berate him, remember Sergio Busquets and compare how many goals he has scored or how many assists he has had, ...very few I guess. Yet is arguably the best DM in the world,...and Barcelona isn't complaining about his simple job of tackling and passes.... Leicester city isn't complaining about ndidi's own as well.


Comparing him to kante is hilarious because while kante play as a Central midfielder, ndidi play majorly as double 4 i.e a dual DMF with iborra.

mogbe..... I am not berating ndidi ooooo... Plz. . Sorry if it comes across to you that way.... The Argentina game was only a friendly.... And your last paragraph is really funny to me... Kikikikkikikiki.... This definition you create just to suit your narrative.... Double 4.. So Kante de play for triple 6.....

You just use rope tie yourself by mentioning busquets.... Who offers so much going forward in terms of passing, dribbling etc..... Busquets wey sabi dribble pass Mikel... Naim you de mention...

Maybe I should restate my position on this ndidi matter..... He is excellent to me but just at one attribute which is Tackling.... If and when he improves other aspects of his game he will be a worldy...... Top clubs will queue for his signature.... For now he is just outside the bracket..... Come to think of it I am beginning to sound and criticise my own player like mourinho.... Hmm.... Blik I go slow down small.... Mek men nor vex for me for this place...

lexyman:
i am beginning to like your criticism , what club will you recommend for that lad ... klopp kind of coach will make Ndidi a better dm ... what do you think

yes klopp with his ghen ghen pressing or pep at city with his tika tika.... Ndidi needs a coach who will greatly improve him... Who else but those two.... He's next move is gonna be really critical in his development as a player.... One to watch out for.... Boss tbaba1234 what do you think.. One is allowed to dream Àbí..

tbaba1234:
Kante's tackles were critical to Leicester championship win.. Makalele tackles were critical to real madrid success..

What happened to Real Madrid when Makalele left and they could not find a replacement?

[quote author=tbaba1234 post=65953234]Lolz.... Baba ooooo oo.... This discuss wan enter another level now o. .... I see what you did there..... Oya na mek ndidi use he own win something fes na.... Besides Kante has always had assists and goals in his locker...as evident in his title, mvp winning season for Leicester as well as for Chelsea.....

For me it is not just the assist alone..... Didn't you see how Kante was ghosting past players, breaking the lines if you know what that means tactically..... He was everywhere..... He made things happen.... That is what we want from ndidi..... Do something, not tackle, pass then wait for next wave of attack against your team..... If he stays one more season he should move to a more attacking team abeg.....

tbaba1234:
That is why he is among the top players but he really was not that great before it.

What Ndidi did today is the undervalued and often overlooked parts of football.. Those tackles are the difference between 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1

tackles don't win you championships, goals and assists do. Top players, win you championships, top players give goals and assists..... Sad but true..
