Stats on some of our players this season.

From SSE_NGA on twitter.

Ndidi na horse oooo. See stats?

Truidstar:
Had dinner with Rohr Yesterday

Hehehe!

safarigirl:
how many chances must Kayode get before you will agree he got a chance?

Is it not his mate, Onuachu, that came on and scored a goal within 3 seconds? Is it not his mate Idowu, that scored a goal within minutes of being brought on against Argentina? Must he play 3 full matches before you agree he was given a chance?

Forgiveness, I feel at this point in life, you should know that everyone is not fortunate enough to be given repeated chances and you have to grab your chances and make moments of them. Kayode has repeatedly failed to grab his chances and that is on no one but him. We cannot start blaming village people for the failure of a man to grab his chances, the line is long and many others await the same opportunities he missed. Iheanacho will have a lot to say about the dangers of not taking chances.


Kayode has up to 90 minutes of playing time under his belt, in that time, he has barely shown a sliver of brilliance compared to others who have come after him. It took Ebuehi five minutes to mesmerise us, after chopping bench game after game.

Kayode did not take his chance and he doesn't deserve another for now. Same way we discarded of Nwakaeme when he failed to deliver. Even Simy Nwankwo that has one international goal with less than 90 minutes of game time was dropped, how much more Kayode.

Kayode was given a chance, he failed to make the right impact, and was duly dropped. That's the way life is. Let's move on, please.

When Kayode is played in his preferred striker position that is when we can conclude he was given a chance because he was played out of positions on two occasions but the other two occasions against South Africa and Argentina, he came on as a substitute in the last 19 minutes against South Africa when dem don start to dey park bus and in the last 3 minutes when Nigeria was no longer pushing forward against Argentina.

Dat one na chance?

But Onuachu, Simy and Nwaekeme were rushed to the starting 11 and even played in their preferred roles.

Why Kayode own come different?

For your information, it took Onuachu 26 minutes to score a goal in his preferred striker position.

Kayode never had that luxury of time in his preferred striker position. Gbam

Therefore, the fact still remains that Kayode was NEVER given the chance to prove himself in the GWG.

Truidstar:
Moses Simon and Awaziem to be dropped.

How did you know?

FIFA Names 10 Players Primed To Shine At Poland 2019 & You Can Guess The Nigerian On The List

FIFA Names 10 Players Primed To Shine At Poland 2019 & You Can Guess The Nigerian On The List
The FIFA U20 World Cup begins in Poland on Thursday, May 23 with Senegal facing Tahiti at the Arena Lublin, Lublin, while the Flying Eagles begin their campaign against Qatar the following day.

As part of their lead-up to the tournament, the official website of FIFA has picked the top ten starlets primed to shine at Poland 2019 and beyond.

There are no prizes for guessing that Manchester City wonderkid Tom Dele-Bashiru is the Flying Eagles player that made the list.

The remaining nine players that made the cut are : Nehuen Perez (Argentina), Radoslaw Majecki (Poland), Timothy Weah (USA), Dan-Axel Zagadou (France), Diego Lainez (Mexico), Lee Kangin (Korea Republic), Moises Ramirez (Ecuador), Turki Al-Ammar (Saudi Arabia) and Erling Haland (Norway).

On Dele-Bashiru, they wrote : ''Born in Manchester, Dele-Bashiru represented England's U-16s but will be pulling the strings for the Flying Eagles at Poland 2019.

''He earned his first appearance for Manchester City during a league cup match against Leicester City in 2017.''

The 19-year-old Dele-Bashiru was the most impressive Flying Eagles player during their training camp in Germany and it is all but confirmed that he will make his international debut against Qatar.

Really
I just knew you'd stubbornly run along with anything you've already set your mind to believe in.

Telling me that he deserves to be on the list than anyone else doesn't dismiss the fact that he is the only who's had it bad or is having it bad.

Stop putting yourself in positions where people are forced to call your bias.

What has the list got to do with chance?

My friend, we are not talking about list here. We are talking about Kayode not given a chance to prove himself despite the fact that he deserved it as at then.

Stop twisting matter here.

Kog45:
Oga forgiveness pls let us end it.

One thing is cleared,Awoniyi is progressing and with his level of discipline he would be right there.Getting attention from clubs like Lazio and schalke is not a joke.

He is a player that would be vital to eagles soon,not too bad to have Osimenh,Awoniyi and Onuachu in future eagles just like the era of Yekini,Siasia and Amokachie.

Truly a lot don’t rate him but I rate him and I have my reason.

We cannot always be on the same page.

So lets move on.

I hate when people try to force their opinion down your throat without any substantial fact to back it up.

Anyway, you have said it all.

junnyjake:
Sometimes, that's all the chance you get.

Uche Agbo never got any minute despite being invited over and over again, what would you say about that.

After the Zambian match Anderson Esiti never got called up till date.

Onyekuru had to score against Liberia in a friendly and giving an assist against Libya before he's getting this attention from the coach.


How long did it take for Ebuehi and Ogu to be given a chance? Aina even came and made his debut straight up while Ebuehi was pushed out of the squad.

It's not as if Kayode, Awoniyi are the ones treated unfairly.

Oga! Kayode was never given a chance to prove himself despite the fact that he won Austrian player of the year and top goal scorer.

He deserved it more than all those players you listed.

The likes of Mane and Keita who won the Austrian player of the year have gone far in their career.

If only he is not a Nigerian, he could have gone farther in his career.

sontoly:
Has he made the bench not to talk of kicking ball, we are talking of playing and scoring at a higher club, assuming he did well at gent it would av been another story.

Awoniyi is a Liverpool player. EOD

elyte89:
Someone scored 3goals or 4goals in a match..u re still saying did he score with all.d chances given to him

U for talk say any kick of d ball by him shld av resulted into a goal

In GWG?

BascoVanVeli:
Yes he has been more consistent. Taiwo only started scoring at his current club, he didn't do anything at Gent.

Lately, Awoniyi was consistent.

Earthquake3:
Abeg I no dey do this stupid argument

Did Osimhen score with all the chances given to him?

OMANBALA1:
Do I need to remind you that Nwakali was the MVP during his set. Thats like being the U17 footballer of the year....lol

Meanwhile, nothing dubious about special talents because they exist. Some players exibit extraordinary skills so early they caught attention of everybody,excluding you....lol

Also, let me remind you Nwakali is still an Arsenal player yet he cant even secure a ffucking visa,thus the fact Awoniyi is a Liverpool player mean absolutely nothing. He must prove himself.

Again , Michael can play behind Osimhen. Michael is a very skillful player with an eye for deadly passes. Awoniyi is a workaholic striker ,who is yet to convince us we can rely on him to deliver the goods.

Awoniyi is not the standard, hence more work for him till he catch up with Osimhen, Onyekuru and Chukwueze.

Who are the us? I don't take those 'us' seriously because they tend to know nothing.

If scouts that matters could recommend Awoniyi to Liverpool and Liverpool was able to buy him, he doesn't need to convince the 'us' that are inconsequential in football world to prove he is quality.

This only happens in Nigeria. The dubious tag of special talent to bring some players into the National team.

Well, that will soon change.

sontoly:
Let me come in here a bit, I think awoniyi did not take his chances at gent, I remembered he performed very well for mouscron only to go on downward trend at gent with that young guy Jonathan scoring more and eventually benching him, he would have used gent to propel to even better club but didn't take his chance. I think he need to move to a bigger club to redeem himself.

Let me use onyekuru for instance, his development has been on an upward trend, from lowly Eupen to Anderletch and he proved himself then he went to Galatasaray now the rumours are that his will be going to Bayern, that's what we call development. Awoniyi needs to play next season at a bigger club next season.

Is Liverpool a smaller club?

OMANBALA1:
Osimhen is a special talent, Awoniyi is not.

Michael had played in the Seria A before the loan to Perrugia. He has better resume,my nigga.

Michael is an attacking midfielder cum support striker...And , yes, he can keep Awoniyi on the Bench.

I mentioned Chukwueze just to point out an example of a special talent right from U17 level.

The same way we heard Nwakalis are special talents but we are yet to see anything till date.

Special talent is just one of the dubious ways to get 'some' players into the National team.

Let me remind you that Awoniyi is a Liverpool player. I don't think a daft scout will recommend him if he is not a special talent.

Only Nigerians with their usual sentimental and bias judgement will just say one player is Super special talent.

Michael is not a striker.

BascoVanVeli:
Guy stop this one na. Awoniyi will get his shot if he continues to improve. He even started both games with the U23s if anyone should feel hard done by it should Stephen Odey and not Taiwo.

If the one that improved didn't get a chance, I don't see him getting any.

Has Odey performed better than Awoniyi this season?

Oasis007:
U20 Players

The first two are over 20 but I may be wrong because nobi me be dem Mama.

timay:
I doubt it, cos na only Nigerian blogs they parade that rumour online.

I will only believe it if I can see 1 or 2 online links to the rumour from international news blog

Ighalo confirmed it himself.

timay:
Baba it's a scam,

how come no international news outlet or blog, aside Nigerian blogs carried the rumour.

Same with Ighalo's transfer to Barcelona in January. it was only Nigerian news outlet and blogs that were carrying the news.

I guess that is the latest method that agents are are now using to hype their players and give them face value

Ighalo transfer news to Barcelona was genuine.

OMANBALA1:
Sir, Awoniyi has to prove himself before he can get this consideration. Awoniyi is not at par with Osimhen, Chukwueze, Michael of Bologna and co. Other than his moderate improvement in the lowly Belgian league Awoniyi has not wowed us. And he 'd be lucky if he makes the U23 cut....There are too many talents to look at and if they all come to play Awoniyi will have to fight.

Did Osimhen prove himself before he was considered to play in the GWG?

Michael is in second division, how did you rate it over lowly Belgium league?

As if Osimhen is not playing in the same lowly Belgium League.

Besides, Chukwueze and Michael are not strikers.

charlesemeka85:
Oga awoniyi is down the pecking order for now an has to do better to get a chance

Who did the rating?

Even if Awoniyi scores 50 goals in LA Liga, he will never get a chance.

Humility017:
Lol...he didn't miss any...
but oshimen picked up none chances to awoniyi and used it...to get an hatrick

Why didn't Osimhen score when given the chances in the GWG?

tbaba1234:
See this toddler...17 year old Zaccala

Real toddler. Dat guy beside him is who?

Earthquake3:
What work rate and Osihmen came in to score a hat trick for him

Did Osimhen score with all the chances he was given in the gwg?

junnyjake:
Kayode was given chance.

Do you mean 14, 20 19, & 3 minutes na chance?

He was played out of position in the first two chances he got?

Kayode Olanrewaju was never given a chance in the National team.

Earthquake3:
Look at question

I should bring the chances for him to miss

Then answer the simple question.


As far as I am concern, Awoniyi's work rate during the matches can't be overlooked.

Earthquake3:
Onyekuru to join Bayern Munich

Wow! Is it confirmed?

Earthquake3:
Awoniyi that didn't take his chance with the U23?

Did he miss any chance?

Joebie:
The case of Onuachu is that when he got his chance, he grabbed it with both hands.

Was Kayode given chance?

Has Awoniyi been given a chance?

Humility017:
exactly.... I still feel Tammy will get some caps for England sha.
but should be exceed 24 years and no call ups...he should find himself to blame...

It depends. If he is consistent at the top and there's no other players doing better than him he will stay longer.

Humility017:
I tell you and they won't play them oooh.
ask yourself bro...how many players go fit play for 3 lions at a time...
check immediately a player click beyond 23 and he didn't get 3 lions call up...it will be very difficult to fetch it afterwards...

reason why many start changing their national allegiance...afterwards to their parents country like zaha and co

I just pity those players that choose to play for England instead of Nigeria.

Humility017:
same club almost knocked out man united from the Europa some seasons ago....
moreover Paul's Is even like the 2nd choice striker for us self...

I don't have any problem with Paul but FC Midtjylland is an obscure club compared with Young boys and Red bull Salzburg. Panathinaikos even better pass FC Midtjylland.
