The biggest word in football to me is not ability but OPPORTUNITY. Opportunity will show case your talent and ability without opportunity your ability will amount to nothing.

What determines football player quality is CONSISTENCY of top performance. Every player can display a moment of Wow Effect. I can assure you there are non league players who can do this too. However, can you do it consistently that's the component that distinguishes OUTSTANDING QUALITY. That component will cause your outward d progression into better and bigger leagues and top clubs.

For me your club form is the overriding component and consideration. Although there will be exceptions for instance lack of opportunity in a big club like Chelsea, Barca, and or contention with Manager.

If a player is in a lower league I would expect him to be one of the most outstanding and consistent players in that league. Not relying on past youthful glories for the U17 Eaglets.

For instance Dele Alli, Ademola Lookman, Gomez, etc were catapulted from League one to the EPL the rest is history as we say.

My negative unfounded assumption is that there is a preference for former national youth players in giving them opportunity into the SE. Completely disregarding current performance and progression in whatever league or club they may be in.

Na book you want make I write be that.
But let me give you a clue:from Africa to the black communities in America to the Carribean and the Americas blacks are the poorest, beat down race, despised, looked down upon and occupy the runt of history. Why is this so? Compare the black race to other races and you'd begin to realise there's something deeply wrong about the black race. I do not think it has to do with the color of his skin, nor with his geographical location. I feel the problem lies in the race consciousness. You cannot cheat consciousness. Your reality is the physical mirror of your inner consciousness.

Historians say we were once a proud and noble race setting the pace in science, medicine and technology. But something happened and ever since then we've gone down.

Thank you.There is need for us to up our analysis here cos this thread is just too valuable to a lot of guys cos they believe this is the only place to get accurate information and good analysis on eagles.

I was damn surprised hearing from this thread that the presence of Aina's Father can influence Rohr.
No this shouldn't have come out from this thread

Also hearing that Kelechi Nwakili should be drafted to main eagles cos of his performance against Atletico Madrid.

No it's not done that way.I remember James Obiorah had a great game in one of the friendly prior to France 98 but dropped cos we have better prepared players like Okocha,Lawal,Adepoju and Oruma but if we go by talent i will rate only Jayjay ahead of Obiorah.

No doubt about Nwakili abilities as a player but sometimes a good promising young player just need to wait and keep.on developing.The future is bright for the young man.

And now reading some comments on Moses really surprised me as if this is not the thread where we have great analysts who understand the game very well.

Did Rohr complain about Moses attitudes?No meaning there is great communication between Rohg likely Moses would join the team in London with Rohr approval.

World cup is very near and better for us to talk football in a very analytical way.

Kalu was named among top 50 promising prospect in europe with the likes of donurama, mbappe and pulisic.

you won't like to see that, my brother I'm not here to promote one player or bring down one player. I'm a fan of all Nigeria players including kayode and the rest

Certitude:
I'll like to know what sir Michael have to say.

jihday:
Hi guys, let's talk about our past world cup performances. I know we'll all agree that 1994 was our best outing, however which one do y'all think is our worst? for me I think it's 2010, we had all our important players from Martins to Osaze, Yak, kanu, Obasi, Yobo etc the only noticeable absentee was Mikel yet we struggled to gain just 1 point despite being in a relatively easy group. So let's have our say on Nigeria's worst World Cup outing

Wc take it easy...if I b lokosa,na ighalo leg I go dey target

Humility017:
not surprised to anyone....you both reason alike..... wrong all the time.

just take a look at that one comment spilling trash that nwakali is using the super eagles boast his career...that he has no business in the SE.

only a thoroughly blind fellow will playdown nwakali display against Athletico.....
had it been he has a European passport he would have been in England still and not in netherland same with.... taiwo and Henry and also kayode...
our boys are deprived because of their background and not because they lack the talent....
so nwakali invitation and display yesterday shows that he merit the call up.... moreover he was called up obviously because of salisu quest to build a formidable under 23 team for next Olympic mudial...

Please friends, all SE reports now should be in green, as we usually have our debates in between.

Eagles Training: Simon Suffers Thigh Injury, GK Uzoho The Chosen One, Balogun & Ekong Partnership

Published: May 24, 2018

https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/14085MosesSimon1.jpg

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Gent winger Moses Simon was unable to complete his first training session with the Super Eagles on Thursday morning after suffering what appears to be a thigh injury.

The winger had to be replaced by Leicester City striker Ahmed Musa for the remainder of the practice game.

The Super Eagles medical team had to wrap an ice pack to Simon's injured thigh and he looked okay after the treatment.

If today's training session is anything to go by, three players on the 30-man preliminary roster have their starting spots in Russia confirmed.

Deportivo de La Coruña starlet Francis Uzoho might be the chosen one in goal as he stayed behind after the practice game to get extra training drills from the goalkeeper coaches on how to goal-kick.

Gernot Rohr and his lieutenants did a lot of talking to William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun to help improve their communication in defense so that the unit can function well.

The two central defenders who were first choice during the World Cup qualifiers performed admirably in the workout.

4 league goals is still not impressive egbon that's the honest truth. even for simy 7 goals is not good enough but in his case he has been rewarded for consistent good form over the past few weeks. unfortunately no striker of nigerian origin has hit double digits so we have to settle for what is available.

i confused ogbeche's 2001/2002 stat for the 2002/2003 season so i was wrong when i said he scored 1 league goal prior to the world cup.

like i told you earlier i had no qualms with onigbinde taking bartholomew to the world cup as a promising talent but on the fact of his numbers sorry not good enough

Farzat:
Is any one still doubting that this guy is the same Forgiveness?

chrisooblog:
lol without using google i dare you to name 5 other clubs apart from dynamo kiev in the ukrainian league and you say it's not a backwater

CSKA moscow sef get true european pedigree na

don't exaggerate he has started well in ukraine time will tell how good he will turn out but i wish him the best

it's your prerogative to question his non inclusion but he has not been pulling up trees to justify his callup 3 goals in 21 games is not super striker form

Martz101:
you should no better

His playing in the Eerste Division because his principal club sent him out there

on scoring goals, that's not really how to judge game play, his progressing and will get there.

I don't understand your argument, he was not called up by Rohr but I'm very sure in the near future he will be there.

Rohr Takes A Leaf Out Of World Cup-Winning Manager's Book: Eagles Wear GPS Trackers

European football tactician Gernot Rohr has taken a leaf out of Joachim Low's book, with the national team players wearing GPS trackers before the start of the training session. (see photo)

That small device was instrumental to the success of Germany winning the 2014 World Cup, Low decided to introduce Mario Gotze, who netted the winning goal, as a substitute over other options based on GPS data.

The GPS data will measure how the Super Eagles players perform in training games, the number of changes in direction, cardiac frequency variable that is monitoring of their heartbeats.

Rohr will be able to compare the players in camp and the information will assist him to know a player's level while with the national team.

As at the time this report, the players were taking part in a shooting practice before the start of the practice game.

Ndidi Still Undergoing Special Training, Brighton Newbie Balogun & Joel Obi Looking Sharp
Published: May 24, 2018

https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/2164Eagles31.jpg

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Leicester City star Wilfred Ndidi is on the road to full recovery and is expected to resume full training with the national team in the coming days.

The defensive midfielder jogged with the Super Eagles players at the start of Thursday morning's training session at
Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.

Ndidi was with the team for about ten minutes before he went on special training, he did some stretching exercises and ran on the sidelines but did not take part in the eleven-a-side practice game.

There are no more question marks surrounding the fitness of Torino midfielder Joel Obi and Brighton & Hove newbie Leon Balogun as both players participated in full training and looked sharp.

Leicester City striker Ahmed Musa and Bursaspor defender Abdullahi Shehu who reported for international duty on Wednesday have not been named in the stating line-up for the ongoing practice game.

Whilst Dele Ajiboye and Daniel Akpeyi were training with the goalkeeper coaches, Francis Uzoho and Ikechukwu Ezenwa were in goal for the practice match.

Ukraine league is rated No. 7 in Europe I wouldn't call it backwater.

Then add to it Shatter Donetsk a club with true European champions league pedigree.

He has actually made upward progression. Then to be winning MOTM awards in that league as well. He has performed much better than many who have been invited. He clearly deserves a call up. Add to that he is versatile can play on the wings with good pace.

I really do not see any rational reason why he shouldn't have been invited players in a few friendlies to have a good look at what he can offer.

komekn:
You are clearly misrepresenting the facts.

Kelechi does not train with Ozil, Sanchez and Ramsey.

He is playing in the Eerste Divisie 2nd tier of Dutch football. It is low and what's more concerning is he is not the stand out player in that low league.

He is currently just an Arsenal player on paper, a mere speculative business transaction that may possibly. yield some dividend.

Unfortunately there is a continous trend for reasons unknown to give former Nigerian youth players irrespective of current progression opportunities in the SE to the detriment of far better performing players.

komekn:
Kelechi is 20 or thereabouts and playing in the 2nd tier of Dutch football. He is not the outstanding player in that league. He is forward player i.e. AM and has a very poor goal return. And you call that FABULOUSLY WELL.

The Eerste Divisie is low, I rate it on the same level of league one if not lower. Considering that the Eredivisie is rated 14 in Europe and is the easiest league to score in within the top 20 leagues in Europe. I would say he is far from Fabulous.

Arsenal is very far away from him now.

He is using the SE to bolster his career otherwise he has no business being in the SE. Simply not good enough. There are too many players better who have not been given the opportunity to showcase thier talents.

Martz101:
those stuani records does not stop kayode from displacing him. i still repeat, girona plays 2 strikers just like Leicester.

if kayode could not displace stuani why didnt he displace the second guy portu abi girona bought him just to be on the bench?

Kibera walker just can't forget the beating forgiveness gave him. He badly wants round 2. Apparently, no one has time for him.

Nowenuse:
I remembered how 'forgiveness' dealt with you on this highrise issue between Nigeria and Kenya many months ago.
I don't have that interest right now. Go back many pages

tbaba1234:
In terms of actual recognition, only Samuel Kalu has been recognized officially by placing second in the awards..

Your so called "team of the season" was first posted in March by me and is not an official record of anything.

Officially, Kalu is the second best rookie in Belgium. He will have the award on his shelf now.

tbaba1234:
YET, Samuel Kalu just took second on the rookie of the year in Belgium.. Ahead of all the others, you mentioned.

Martz101:
I'm not shocked atall, is it not you?

nothing from you can be a shock to me again

You ask if Kalu is one of our top 3 performer in eagles and i said yes and you are asking for the other 3

if you disagree with my yes then you should be the one to list the players better than him
