honestly we need etebo and ndidi against modric and kovacic.

those 2 can single handedly destroy us. That's why we need workaholics to match them

This duo are currently injured. Pray for their quick recovery.

June 14 is almost here

Reminds me of the kind of analysis we used to see those days before we came together on this forum.

tbaba1234:
Probably on trials somewhere.

He did not play most of their games because he was on trials

This boy has been going from one trial to the other for God knows over a year now.

He has hardly settled down in his parent club to play football.

Well, I wish him the best in his trials.

Analysis Of Flying Eagles 20 Man List For Guinea-Bissau Tie + List In Full

https://i2.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_4374.jpg


Many Nigerians are not conversant with the present crop of players of the U20 team of Nigeria who are expected to be in Guinea-Bissau tomorrow for their Saturday African Youth Championship Qualifiers first leg clash.

Coach Paul Aigbogun released a list of 20 players carefully selected after almost over two months of camping in Abuja, which also saw them play friendly games against selected teams and twice against their Egyptian counterparts.

The list is made up of two goalkeepers , six defenders , four midfielders and eight forwards.


Flying Eagles squad to Guinea Bissau:

Goalkeepers: Akpan Udoh, Detan Ogundare

Defenders: Mike Zaruma, Valentine Ozornwafor, Ikouwem Udoh, Solomon Onome, Ekene Olisema, Abubakar Abdullahi Ali

Midfielders: Aminu Nuhu, Alhassan Ibrahim, Jamil Muhammed, Ali Isah

Forwards: Jerome Akor, Babawo Ibrahim, Idris Guda, Peter Eneji, Adeshina Gata, Asuquo Aniekeme, Wasiu Alalade, Effiom Maxwell.


Owngoalnigeria.com's Ade Emmanuel takes a look at the key players to keep an eye on when they take on Guinea-Bissau on Saturday.


Star Man : Peter Eneji

The Plateau United winger is by far the most known player in the 20 man squad and he has so far justified his high ratings with some near faultless display in the friendly games he has played for the team.

Injuries have limited his appearance in some high profile friendly games but his impact in the squad when he plays means he will be very pivotal in their quest to pick a good result on Saturday.


Joker : Alhaji Idris Guda
Quick, clever and with an eye for a goal. He has the ability to make something happen out of nothing as shown in the manner which he took his brace against Nasarawa United in one of their friendly game.
The Wikki Tourists ace is criminally underrated but if the Flying Eagles are in need of an unlikely hero, Guda is most likely the man to bail them out when all fails against Guinea Bissau on
Saturday.


Top Man : Jerome Akor

A gate crasher who has emerged as the focal point of the team in attack, thanks to his near perfect record of scoring a goal in almost all of their friendly games since he joined the team.

Big, strong and skilful. The Jamba FC of Kaduna teenager who had trial at Norwegian side Stroemgodset in January is highly favoured to start in attack on Saturday.


Top Talents : Alhassan Ibrahim, Zaruma, Babawo

The performance of the above mentioned trio have been truly exceptional in training and test games. Plateau United's Mike Zaruma who is a right back by trade scored a screamer from almost the half way line in one of their friendly games against Egypt.

Kano Pillars' Alhassan Ibrahim is the livewire of the team in midfield. He literally bring the team to life with his smart dribbling abilities, blind runs and clever passes. Many regard him as the best player in the Nigeria Professional Football League this season.

Niger Tornadoes of Minna winger Babawo Ibrahim has impressed with his raw pace and skills on the flanks, especially his abilities to take his marker out in tight spaces. He is expected to be a part of the attacking line up for the clash.

We knw,whether we play d match or not,its inconsequential to our fate in d forth coming world cup,its a preparatory game, DTS all

And who says it has any consequential effect on our fate at the forth coming World Cup.

elyte89:
Boss,all arrangements have been concluded months back,nothing can b changed abt dt

No wahala. But I hope you know the DRC game is being threatened by Ebola out break?

tbaba1234:
DR Congo is a tougher game.. Atletico Madrid B is playing spanish division 3 football. They are 10th in division 3. It will be too low an opposition.

They will match the local boys well.

I am not about the toughness of the opposition but the nature of the opposition. DRC are an African side with all the physicalities attached to the African game. I prefer we focus on European and South American oppositions.

tbaba1234:
I read a quote by Rohr that it will be played by the local players. It is not part of his WC program.

OK. just felt t'would have been nice if the main SE play that game.

tbaba1234:
It does nothing for our WC preparations.. According to Rohr, it is a way to bid farewell to Uyo fans.

But it was stated the game is to test our readiness for the WC.

To bid farewell with the CHAN team? Are they the ones going to the WC?

tbaba1234:
The friendly is for the CHAN team and it will most likely the B team of Atletico

So how will this boost our WC preparations? Cos it was stated the game will test our readiness for the WC.

Club that all their World Cup bound players would have left for their respective national team camping and they may likely send fringe and U21 players.

Abi na only Nigerian players dey go WC?

All the same it is better than that Congo friendly.

PDPGuy:
But it’s still baffling how he isnt highly regarded by Chelsea fans. Mikel ranks below the likes of Ballack, Lampard, Makelele, and even Meireles in the all-time list of favorite Chelsea midfielders.

We are talking about the impact he makes in the Super Eagles.

Some of the names you have there not countries. They are cities.

To avoid any more travel blunders, here's a list of 10 countries you need to pronounce appropriately.
It’s easy for us to mispronounce some names of places in the world, especially when we don't even speak that language.
To avoid any more travel blunders, here's a list of 10 countries you need to pronounce appropriately.
1. Dubai
It is not Du-BYE. Rather say Du-BAY. Doo (Rhymes with new) Bay (Rhymes with day) Doo-bay.

Dubai is an Arabic word that means rich settlement, so many people pronounce it according to spelling, this is wrong in Arabic.

Is Dubai a country?

flemsy15:
An opportunity for eagles to get a stronger opponent, using Congo to prepare for those big names in their grp is just unholy

I never liked that DRC friendly. Why not invite South Africa instead. And if it is too late to arrange with another country they can play with an NPFL selected 11. No be for to say farewell to Nigerian fans before departing?

Thank God DRC are not taking part in the WC else FIFA and Russia fit ban even Nigerian fans join.

tbaba1234:
Nnamdi Ofoborh was named Bournemouth youth player of the season.. He was invited by the flying eagles and played the Egypt friendly.

Loooolll..... This guy ehn.... So you saw the Metallic man's comments on Chief and Safari .... Honestly, Metallic man can make some very weird looking comments...

Walahi, small thing e go dey offer somebody Gulder and next moment e go dey find bottle to break.

Well, na all these varieties dey make this place sweet.

Petrobros:
That boy is a Dane man..... I don't think Denmark are gonna let him go just like that.

Yeah he once played for the Danish U21.

Mickael2:
they are not correct. Who scored usually gets it all mixed up, they have Neymar at the same height as Kroos abi even taller. 185 is Ronaldo's height

I knew something was wrong with those figures. They don't look real to me.

Humility017:
humans are not robots...
you don't expect humans to act perfect all the time...
I was discussing with my colleagues the other day... they've been cases where the customer care representatives will deliver an exceptional service to the customers...and there are other times he/she may not meet up.... but still a reasonable customer should as well put his/her self in the CCR shoes and not go report him/her immediately...whereas same customer won't dare commend in times she does well...

sometimes good we learn to feel for others.... and create excuse for them..
we too are not perfect in doing our work..

You compare a Customer Care Relation duty with a Medical duty?

Humility017:
egbon you take things too serious...let us the young minds wind up a little...

after all...all work and no play makes Paulo a full boy

You can't be playing with a life and death situation.

Still what I am talking about. Still want to feel cool even under an urgent/emergency situation.

Unik3030:
what if it doesn't involve communication at that point, how do u communicate with a patient in coma? how do u communicate with a patient who can't talk due to illness?different situation require different actions, from my angle it's no big deal cos she might even be using it to ease stress off. nobody can tell

If the patient is in a very critical situation and or in coma and she wears that kind of relaxed expression on her face then that says it all.

A patient is dying and the first thing is to have stuck up your mouth with that lolly pop and be feeling cool.

That doesn't look like an emergency situation to me. It looks like a routine check. And Doctors or care givers typical communicate with the patient as they touch, especially as it was reported as an accident victim, to know where he still feeling one pain or the other.

What she did is by all standards unprofessional. No matter how you try to defend it.

Poor Allou Cisse. The only black coach, the least paid coach.

DidierDrogba:
This was exactly how i was in Hospital Bed some years ago and the nurse that was attending to me suddenly started sucking my D*ck

Liar!!!!!!

Unik3030:
how does the lollipop she's taking affect what she's doing now? from d pic her attention is solely with the patient n she's probably checking his heartbeat, it's no big deal so far it doesn't disturb her job. n the most annoying thing is people castigating her also play games at work, they listen to music at work n also do other side attractions

Do they do only checking?

Don't they communicate with the patient?

How will she communicate effectively with that thing stuck in her mouth?

PDPGuy:
82kg is no biggie. I weighed that much when I was 22.

For his height I find it difficult. That was just slightly less than what I weighed at about the age of 30 before my Doctor referred me to a dietitian who placed me on a diet plan, saying my BMI was tending towards obessity. And I am about 176cm tall.

Well could be that he has very thick bones.

Bukky001:
Why are you people bent on destroying the image of nurses. This is a doctor for Christ's sake........ Besides, I don't see anything bad in what dhe is doing, it doesn't disturb her work

How can she communicate with the patient effectively with that thing in her mouth?

Looks more like a Doctor.

The thing is youths of today take too many things for granted.

They don't have sense of emergency and urgency. They always want to still feel cool under any situation.

I have a lot of them around me so I know what I am talking about.

kennysville:
Lucky you! You know say if to say Nigeria no qualify for world cup, the ghanaian troll would av come for ur head heavily. You for hear am!

Ol boy, No dey diss Ghana like that na! They are our Bredas!

By the way, wetin be that ghanaian Moniker again?

Don't mention any of those monikers here. They know nothing but trouble.

Joebie:
Iheanacho and Iwobi WhoScored Stats at FT

Iheanacho is taller than Iwobi? Doesn't look so on the pitch.

Even weighs more than Iwobi. Hmm, can Iheanacho be weighing 82kg? For a 21 years old footballer?
I hope those figures are correct.
