Lineups.....

I raised eyebrows on seeing Musa starting. But on seeing the other wings options on the substitute bench I tend to reason with Rohr a little

Shehu has been played many times in the team and found non capable, what makes him capable now

Come on.....
Some one that won Man of the match against Cameroon in Uyo?

Please let's try and be objective in our assessment.

Curtisaxel7:
Try watching NTA international for a day, you'd be shocked at the quality of broadcast you'd see. The only major problem is the camera quality.

That Camera quality alone is enough to negate any so called quality thing they are showing. Station that would be showing Cassava planting during the ENDSARS Protests. The only time this year I really sat down to watch NTA was during Buhari's ENDSARS speech. I was so shocked they are still showing the same National anthem video they have been showing since I was a kid.

Odunayaw:
Ogbeni cut the garbage. Shehu hasn't impressed in any position as you'd have us believe

Then you probably didn't watch the 2018 WC Qualifiers.

Subzero047:
Shehu could not even get into the team in his original position which is right back,it is as a DM that he will excel in the team? besides we have Luke Amos, Alhassan Yusuf and Nwakali even Oforborh that he could invite

This has nepotism written all over it

Chairman, this is not a friendly game, there are di many new Players in the team already. For a game like this Shehu Abdullahi is very much capable.

Secondly, Shehu's original position is DM, he was only a make-shift right back.

And did I see you say "Nepotism"? How? I don't understand.

Ademola Lookman Unhappy With The Pace Of The Process Of His Switch Of Allegiance From England To Nigeria

owngoalnigeria.com

On loan RB Leipzig wing forward Ademola Lookman is unhappy with the slow pace of his switch of allegiance process from England to Nigeria.

The former England youth international has already started the process of his switch of allegiance from England but it’s yet to be completed.

At Fulham he has so far impressed mightily with the national team of Nigeria the other team he want to be a part of in order to play at the next World Cup in Qatar.

“ He is bitter that’s the word. The entire process is too slow. It’s a year now and we are yet to get over the line with it. He is eager to start his senior international career but the slow process of the entire thing has left him unhappy”, a representative of the player told Owngoalnigeria.com.

“The process is different in England because all the FA’s under the supervision of the United Kingdom have to sign the papers. From the last time we checked two out of the five are yet to sign because they haven’t received it yet”.

Aside Lookman, Reading midfielder Ovie Ejaria is also waiting for the green light from FIFA to complete his switch of allegiance from England to Nigeria.

Looking forward to this two in our squad from 2021 and beyond.

Daprinxy:
watch your end this year since you guys prefer evil to good...since you guys prefer a token of less than a $100 to good life for your future and your future children...either you change this year or you see your end this year for supporting evil government instead of Nigeria citizens or don't you have conscience at all,seeing people dying of hunger or seeing poverty everywhere, just because of the wickedness,selfishness and demonical tendencies of the government you're blindly supporting eeh? Mark my word,it will happen to you or your loved ones this year and when it does, come back to this post...lunatic beings..

My brother, please calm down.
I am an Igbo man like you.

Let me ask you one question. You think Nnamdi Kanu has the capacity to fulfill your dreams of a better Nation, whether in Nigeria or Biafra?

Please, no insults.

Kog45:
Chief just leave the matter.I can say it anywhere anytime that none of our current wingers have done half of what Musa and Moses did for Super eagles.

I understand Egbon. But we seem to easily forget things here. Or probably some have not followed the game long enough to be able to do a fair comparison.

Olulong:
None of our wingers are at their prime yet . And BTW you called our wingers average which they are. D question is was Musa and Moses not average at their prime as well. BTW moses best days as a footballer came as a Wing Back

Have you noticed any remarkable improvement on Simon and Kalu in the last 2yrs? They are even on a decline if you ask me.
The only winger that "may not" have reached his prime is Chukwueze but he too needs to work on his game as he is becoming predictable. I don't count Iwobi as a winger because I don't like the idea of playing him from the wings.

Danielnino00:
Chief, if you compare Moses as Musa stats when they were in their prime with that or our present crop of wingers, I don't think u will see much difference....
Even if you use the super eagles as a yardstick...

You see, this where the problem is.

Based on Stats Iwobi is better than Kanu right?

You focus only on statistics and forget the general impact of players on the game.

Tell me which of the current wingers that can do a solo run, over running the defense and score like Victor Moses and Musa did on different occasions.

chrisooblog:
that year wasn't his prime. I would say 2018 has been his best year for US in the green white green

2018 was just the game against Iceland.

Did you see Musa at the 2013 AFCON and 2014 World Cup?

JayromWrites:
Ahmed Musa get prime?

2013-2014

Karlovich:
As long Tella is winger I'm okay with it, after our last games we need about 4 extra wingers that should fight for their places in that position.

now we need 4 extra wingers.

I thought some people here once said that we didn't need Bukayo Saka because we have enough Wingers?

We have so many average wingers in that Team. None of the current Wingers can measure up to Victor Moses and Ahmed Musa when they were at their prime.

Today speech never still leak?

okpalaAnambra:
Google translator don suffer..
No one cares or notices whether u comment or not.. Afonjaa head slammer

It is people like you that are working against the so called "Igbo presidency".

You call me an Afonja because I said things the way they are.

You think we Igbos alone can vote an Igbo man into presidency. You guys better quit spreading hatred towards other tribes.

okpalaAnambra:
The emboldened has already given you away as one typical yoruba Muslim head slammer.. Meanwhile Tinubu your tiny god is sponsoring protests bc he has been skimmed out of the APC presidential primary.. Go and find your fellow yoruba to advice and leave igbo..

Bia nwokem, a bum nwa afo Igbo. Onye Ngwa for that matter.

The problem with most of you here is that you have so much been blinded by your sectional reasoning.

Like I earlier mentioned, I hardly make comments on Politics section.

I made my point on my earlier post.

obembet:
WE DON'T NEED PDP/APC AGAIN. WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING ATTACH TO APC/PDP. EVEN IF THEY ZONE IT TO WEST OR EAST. WE WON'T VOTE THEM. WE ARR TAKING OVER.




All the sensible Igbo are agitating for good government. Making Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo a president would not help this country as long as u are still support all those old wicked PDP/APC politicians. In fact president can even come from north as long as he/she can deliver us from slavery in our own land. A reasonable Igbo has wise up and understand that the progress of the next generation depends on good government not by tribe. So I will urge u to join the wise wise men. God bless u dear

I hope you have your PVC?

I seldom make comments in Polics section, but I think I need to chip in something here to advice my fellow Igbos (I am also an Igbo man).

PRESIDENCY IS NOT BY FORCE!

I have always had issues with the clamour for an "Igbo President". You cannot force Nigeria to give you an "Igbo President". That mantra alone will ensure Igbos do not have that wish.

We want our region to Produce a president yet we openly display Hatred towards certain parts of the country? Where do you want to get the Votes from?

Now look at Ebonyi Lawmakers trying to Force the PDP to give Dave Umahi the Presidential ticket. You don't just wake up in 2020 and say you are aspiring for 2023 presidency. Politics is a game of time and this is where the Northerners and Yorubas will always have that edge over the Igbos Politically. Igbos always put their eggs in one basket and do not have foresight about their ambitions.

I have said it and will continue to say it that for the Igbos to have political relevance in Nigeria they first need to make peace with their neighbors. Politics is a game of numbers.

Igbos should learn to play the Politics and quit all these entitlement mentality.

NAIRALAND NIGERIAN FOOTBALL FANS AWARDS, 2020.

The year is gradually winding down, and as it has been our tradition, we roll out awards to our best performing players in various categories within the calendar year.

However, COVID-19 has affected football matches the world over. Nigeria therefore has only 4 matches this year: The two international friendlies (Played already) and the AFCON qualifiers double header against Sierra Leone in November.

Now, the question is will these 4 games be enough to assess the team for us to make good enough judgement of how these players performed in the National team in 2020?

IF WE THINK WE CAN GO AHEAD WITH THIS YEAR'S AWARDS, PLEASE CLICK "LIKE ", AND IF NOT CLICK "SHARE".

VOTING CLOSES @ 7AM 16TH OCTOBER, 2020.


Thanks.

A very big "thank you" to all that participated in this Poll.

43 monikers participated.
27 clicked "like" which represents those FOR the 2020 awards.
16 clicked "share" which represents those AGAINST the 2020 awards.

Those for the awards are therefore the majority. And so we go ahead with the 2020 awards.

I will plead with those whose opinion was for us not to conduct this year's awards to also embrace and be part of it. It is all for the good of Nigerian football.

In the coming days the Time line for this year's Process shall be rolled out.

UP EAGLES!!!

forgiveness:
I can see you are happy with the arrangement already. Not surprised.

Why are you this so predictable?

Oga, you were not at the training session with them, so you have no idea.

I know next thing now you will start shouting tribalism.

jihday:
Forgive me, food is ready

Forgiveness won't like this food

My rating of the players over the two games.

Looks better here than the original post

Overall, a better game than against Algeria. A more experienced starting line up. The team played with more intensity.

Maduka Okoye had another brave outing. A much improved goalie from last year. I think Rohr is trying to establish him as our second choice goalie.

The defense did creditably ok again today. Balogun and Omeruo combining well at the middle. Akpoguma played the RB like a CB, zero movement forward, he however settled better when he was moved to his CB position. Zaidu Sanusi, played almost same way as last game: good with short passes and dashing runs, but his crosses always let him down.
Awaziem came in and introduced more pace and movement on our right side of the pitch. A good game for him.

A better midfield than in the Algeria game. I give Ajayi kudos for managing that his make-shift position of Defensive Midfield. Not an easy position to play if it is not your regular position. Iwobi did better today: a lot more creativity and better passes also with a high work rate.

Chukwueze, showed some flashes of brilliance but just like in the last game, his end product was poor, also isolated for most of the game.
Simon had an improved game. But his finishing was poor. With the kind of formation Rohr played today, i expected Musa to be that link between the Wingers and the main striker, but it appears Musa is almost due for retirement: lack of vision, poor ball handling and lack of pace. Ejuke, a very lively player but over does himself. A player like that will hardly start a game because you are sure he will not last up 60mins on the pitch

Iheanacho, high point was his goal, low point was the penalty miss. He did ok, kept the Tunisian midfield and Defense busy. Cyriel Dessers, Finally! But didn't make any recountable Impact upon introduction.

Well, overall a fair outing for both games. With lots of positives to take home. Looking forward to seeing the AFCON qualifiers list especially which players to be dropped when the regulars that missed the friendlies return.
