andrew444:
Thanks for reminding me bro ,but he have no place in the DM in the eagles

When e go Olympic where him play say na DM or even right back ? I have forgotten

He played as a DM in Keshi's 2014 CHAN Team. Siasia was the first coach to use him as a RB and that was at the 2016 Olympics.

andrew444:
Ambrose of shehu age which is 25 is miles ahead of shehu ,wait make shehu reach 30 make we see

Do you know that Shehu is a DM and not at a Defender?

He come resemble Mark Angel in that first pix. RIP

andrew444:
Na lie ,shehu no better pass Ambrose for right back ,can shehu even cross ball ,you think current days right back Na just to dey defend ?

Oh ask Marcelo

Are you by any means referring to Ambrose of 2013-2014 or the Current Ambrose?

Earthquake1:
I don't know about defence but what Jamilu has shown is that he offers more than in attack

Idowu is also good going forward. In fact his major weakness is defending/positioning in the defensive position.

Besides, henn.. Jamilu has not really come under heavy attacks for you to fully assess his defensive capabilities.

zayyadidris:
Ooh sorry am still a novice in this, what's the difference between LB and LWB?

A left Back is a Full Back that plays at the Left Position of the defense. He is typically deployed in a Back 4 formation. He only occasionally joins in the attack from the Left wing.

A Left Wing Back is either a Left playing defender or a Left Winger deployed in the Left part of a midfield and is free to join in the left side of the defense and also join in the left side of the attack. This is typically deployed in a back 3 formation. "Wing Back" as the name applies is a Winger that joins the back[/b]line or a [b]Back[/b]liner that joins in [b]Wing play.

Earthquake1:
I think Jamilu Collins is still our best LB

Because he was average against South Africa playing LWB(an unnatural position for him) people have already relegated him to the background

Sometimes, I still feel Brian Idowu has been judged unjustly. Which attack has Jamilu faced? Compared to Idowu that faced some of the best attacks in the World.

I still dey look Jamilu. Let him go to the AFCON first.

paulos8:
Iwobi and co don't even know when last they won afcon... Am I the only one not finding this funny

You think they care?

Most of these players just use the national Team to boost their career.

komekn:
So l don't think the issue is about his age, it's about his current performance. Some of the best defenders in the world are well over 30. Defenders as you should know often get better with age.

You more than most people should know that, unless you have take an irrational dislike to him for reasons best known to yourself.

I think it's something to commend him for an age when most of our players seem to completely burn out as if they are 40+.

It is consistent defenders that get better with age. Even if he suddenly experiences a recent resurgence in form i as a coach will not be in a haste to buy such a player. It might just a flash in the pan.

I am not wishing him bad but I don't see him really having plenty of playing time. Cardiff just probably needs a standby experienced defender.

At the bolded, I don't think anyone here defended Efe as much as I did during Oliseh's and Siasia's (Egypt double header) reign when the "Pro-Awaziem" no let us rest here. I just feel Ambrose in his current state of form cannot fit into this current CB setting.

Danycrusoe:
Sorry for replying very late, they want to end the league in May before the Afcon

Ok thanks bro. But they better tidy up the match deficits in good time to prevent match fixing at the later stages of the league.

tbaba1234:

tbaba1234:
Hungary is not a force in female football. Besides, Salami is getting to the age where he needs to cash out.

@ 27 Na people like that dey make Komekn dey get mouth.

Crude Repair and maintenance work. Who did we offend in this country?

do4luv14:
hahahaha chairman, I remember too,

not jst nairaland, nah for dis thread,

but I been don forget the moniker shal

Exactly, it was on one of our football threads.
Either that Flying Eagles or Olympics Team thread.

ChrisKels:
Such a delicious food without a sauce to enjoy it with?

. I remember this ".....sauce please" stuff. Something that began as a nairaland member not being able to spell "source"

ChrisKels:
Icon4s can u help forward this to NFF official Twitter handle? Also remind them of the dearth of quality CBs in our ranks

Twitter. I am not much of a twitter person. My handle has been inactive for over a year now. What I can always do is to forward Okoli's case and the CB's issue to a couple of top SWAN Officials. Toyin Ibitoye is a member.

tbaba1234:
Caleb Okoli of Atlanta listed as Nigerian on the club website. 17 years, already in the first team. No switch of nationality needed.

Aigbogun should be all over this guy .

I just wish the ones selected for the AYC can get the job of qualification done.

The future of our Super Eagles lies a lot on this Aigbogun's crop of U20.

do4luv14:
yes I do,

but am not pleased with the group Admins,

that's the only news, and post they could bring forth for a very long time,
not gud bro

The group was once more active than that. If you go back to a couple of years back u will find that out. However now there are different WhatsApp groups for different sets of which people participate more in.

ChrisKels:
Nna ehn, we dey talk of young CBs that guy dey busy dey reel out names of oldies. I just weak

Men that are older than boys they want to replace.

do4luv14:
aaaaaahhhhh oga sorry for me nah,

nah my birthday ooo,

and I mean AJEGUNLE for lasgidi oooo

This your birthday is so special o. So tey it brought out Safari from ghost mode today

BTW did you hear about one of our old boys who is a medical doctor that passed on over the weekend? The news is on our School's Facebook page.

mostob:
Lolz... they ain't that bad. They just need a bit of salt to make their soup tasty

The issue is will they still be playing active Football when likes of Omeruo and Ekong are retiring?

mostob:
Anam Imo and Amarachi Okoronkwo have both signed for Hungarian top side, Ferencvarosi Torna Club. The team is the top team in Hungary and play in the UEFA champions league.
one Gbolahan Salami signs for one club in Saudi Arabia division 2
I think the girls are more ambitious than the guys though

This was one time Stephen Keshi's best striker. Saudi division 2 kwa. Na wa o.

mostob:
let's just hope Adeleye, Stephen Eze ,Orji and other home based live up to expectations or else we go prostrate and beg those FB to play for us

Na those ones wan replace Ekong and Omeruo? Those ones wey go soon hang boots.

ChrisKels:
Honestly it is alarming. That was why I was all out for the German guys back then. I can still remember ur words, "guy no worry, even if they don't come, it is no biggie, nature has a way of taking care of things" that made me pretend I wasnt worried all this while. Av bn waiting for that nature, ever since oo.

How I so envisaged a partnership of Akanji and Awaziem in the heart of Eagles defense, with the German guys(Toru and Uduokhai) looking in from the bench.

Kingsley Madu is one guy I had high hopes on after watching him under Obuh, beats me how he turned out a total fiasco

Yes nature does have a way of sorting things out just like it has been doing. I just know a couple of players will spring up. Whether foreign born or home groomed/home based.

We can only worry and be hopeful. But it is left to the technical committee to work out a way of replenishing that defense.
