I read somewhere that it was just passport issues. Your response made me do a simple Google search, and there it was!

TheSuperNerd:
Ahhh. So the bottleneck strikes. I was actually hoping your reply was based on something I did not know on Oyegoke's eligibility.

Joebie, na you get that job oo. I believe you live in the same country as his parents

Joebie:
why u no tell am make he apply na?

My bad! You are right. Didn't know he represented England at the youth level.

TheSuperNerd:
Really? So the U20 WC caps are not a bottleneck. Omo, let's get him on board biko.

Oyegoke only needs a Nigerian passport. Nothing more!

TheSuperNerd:
And just like that.. Nigeria's RB options expand further.

- Ola Aina
- Bright Osayi Samuel
- Ryan Alebiosu
- Abdullahi Bewene


Some Prospects still untested/uncapped
- Samuel Isife
- Femi Seriki
- Daniel Oyegoke (needs switch).

Onuachu and Durosinmi don't fit this system.
Onuachu needs a playmaker behind him and two good wingers (each on both sides).
Dele should have come in instead of Durosinmi/Onuachu, and Moses Simon should have stayed on.

Just one dribbler (Otele) without a playmaker wasn't good enough!

Ndidi should have attacked the ball. Okoye did not even see the ball coming cos Ndidi was right there standing like someone who wants to shit.
Tackle the ball, man!
What a game! Good practice match for the Portugal match-up.

This is like a training match for the Super Eagles!
I like how Durosinmi and Onuachu are both good on the ball.

Onuachu-Durosinmi as how?

They hosted us. It's good they have a goal to celebrate.
It is only a friendly.
We have a formidable team!

Of course,Doc!

TheSuperNerd:
That aerial ability of Zadok is very uncommon in wingers. A huge bonus skillset in the lad's arsenal. And yes, he beats his man with less touches & unpredictable body feint angles.

He has one rare quality that you can't find in modern wingers!
He can use his head, and does not need unnecessary step overs to beat his man!

Papi85:
⚪ Newcastle United continue to explore the talent market.

📋 Magpies expected to strengthen their attack this summer, with several shortlists already drawn up.

🇩🇿🇸🇪 Anis Hadj Moussa (Feyenoord) and Zadok Yohanna (AIK) are among the names being monitored. #NUFC #mercato

I don't pity him! He is not a normal footballer! A player any team should die to have! Shame on Liverpool!

opes:
Osimhen has responded

Lookman came in January to a new team and went straight to play, then travelled to Jordan for those two friendlies. Lookman shouldn't be your problem, Osimhen should!

minfelix:
so players going to the world cup in Athletico madrid team do not deserve to rest abi?

I believe Chelle is actively looking for Osimhen's replacement.
You could feel it in his invitations.
The reason he is speaking to George Ilenikhena, and listed Owen for those two friendlies.

Lookman definitely deserves his rest! He has been available all through the season despite the transfer issues.

5 scored, non-conceded! What a team!

Happy for Nnamdi! His press and pre-assist led to OLM's third goal!

TheSuperNerd:
Habib Beye on Tochukwu Nnadi...

🚨 𝐍𝐄𝐖: Marseille boss Habib Beye has told Super Eagles star Tochukwu Nnadi what to improve on

"No, Nnadi makes a very good impression on me," but it's in this area where we have the most players; we have seven or eight midfielders. So, in this situation, rotation isn't necessarily frequent for them.

"I'm very satisfied with his contribution, especially defensively and his ability to press four or five metres.

"Having spoken with him, I'd also like to see him work on that offensively. He needs to be able to inject some dynamism; in a two-man midfield, you need players who can also contribute in the second line."

Fernadez!! That's it!

Of course not! However, Osayi will still be on the bench for Aina.

Joebie:
with Osayi and Bruno's form, I don't see us deploying that back line.

The fact remains if Benji is fit, no human will bench him in that National team. He will partner Bassey not replace.

Cecco90:
Bassey?
No talk that thing outside o.

Chelle prefers it, not me! Examples abound!

Papi85:
so you will prefer to start Benjamin as RB when Osayi is fit?

Ogbu is good, but Benjamin just has that swag of an eilte CB!

Papi85:
his perfect replacement for now is Igoh Ogbu . I won’t say Fernandez nor Nwaiwu because they need more games to prove they will be perfect replacement for ageing Ajayi

And whenever, Ajayi is fit, Benjamin played RB with Aina playing LB when fit. E.g SA away!

Joebie:
until then and until his form drops. Remember Ekong.

Ajayi is nearing 33. He won't make it past next AFCON! And when, Ajayi was fit, Benjamin played RB with Aina playing LB.

Joebie:
Well yea thinking Ajayi vs Benjamin. Let's just agree Ajayi is the more established player in the SE set up in terms of longevity combined with recent performance.

Iran is number 20th in World! We have to take that into consideration. This is not Lesotho or DR Congo or South Africa. This is the 2nd/3rd best team in Asia!

ThunderFireAgba:
First cap New Defenders, Nwaiwu & Fernandez gave decent game..not minding the little mistake here and there, I will rate their performance a good 5/10. Compare this to Fedrick Benjamin outstanding first game against Jamaica which is at a Solid 8.5/10.

That was Fernandez! It was clear as day!

Papi85:
nooo na Nwaiwu

It can be either be Akpeyi, Elderson Echiejile or Victor Moses. Musa stays with Shehu!

Amedino99:
alhaji and ndidi. Given ndidi joined leicester in the same 2017 with genk being his only european team, it leaves musa as the only big player teammate of nacho. So alhaji is not a nice man

Oh didn't look at it well. It didn't say leicester. Must be a retired player then.

NFF got the verdict before that schedule but kept it to themselves, I guess!

fabyom:
FIFA released playoff schedule last week, and you are still expecting a verdict? Dey there!

The last paragraph implicate FIFA! Reason they kept quite, and continue to move on like nothing happened!
I think I am more scared now than before!
You can't expect FIFA to impliucate itself.
The NFF needs to escalate this in various international media and move it to court of arbitration.
The FIFA insider never thought a country will challenge this!

Truidstarr:
. See original petition written by NFF. Make u get hope small

Me too!!!!!

AndSunGorilla:
I honestly want Rosenier Chelsea coach to succeed.

I knew Kompany will go for him! They have the same trait!!! Reason we need more African born in coaching top teams. Not scared of a super star effanterrible!

lbrichman2:
Who is ready to read some lies this hot afternoon?

NFF approached him. Pinnick even invited him to our friendlies before 2018 World Cup. What else do you want NFF to do? Pinnick practically begged Abraham and his parent yet he choosed England. Aina, Lookman, Iwobi, Ajayi, Fernadez, Alebiosu etc chose us. You win some, you lose some. NFF try abeg!

forgiveness:
Which Superstar? Eze that honored invitation to train with us in London?

He waited in vain for a call up to SE then
All we needed to do was to cap tie him.

Saka and Oliseh were nobody as at the time we talked about then here.

NFF no approach them at the appropriate time. Perhaps, they couldn't identify their talent.

Osimhen now knows how to move to keep himself onside!
Also, his shooting technique off, on the ground balls has significantly improve.
Gala provided him the opportunity to improve without so much pressure.
This is scary! If this guy goes to Barca he is going to win the Ballon before 30s.
