Nigerian style of Music is truly lovely. UEFA should adopt this version jare and rather than the players to stand serious while the theme song is played they should just be dancing. Football shouldn't be taken that serious na

Abeg away from Corona talk. Make we enjoy this naija version of Champions league song.

Better enjoyed with ear-piece

Recovered? if this is true , then there is light at the end of the tunnel

Yes over 95% of the victims usually recover. It is not a death sentence.

TheSuperNerd:
For once, Afobear and Myself are on the same side. Well said my favorite thread villain. This post and your first post are on point. Being Christian is never the same as being religious. An extremist religious mindset is never a Christian mindset. Spreading fear and calumnic info all in the name of pushing an end-time/doomsday agenda.

Christianity is the Gospel. And Gospel means "Good news" not bad news and ignorant rants of fear. Well said again Afo... You earn my respect for this post.

But....... Uhmmmm.... We remain Heroes vs Villains. Inevitable, I am.

For the very first time also I engaged him on a useful discuss.

TheSuperNerd:
Breaking:

Arsenal fans in the house. Your Coach, Mikel Arteta has tested Positive for the Coronavirus.

Well, his isolation has already began. He will be placed on treatment like the others. Wishing him a good recovery.




Raul Sanllehi: “Mikel and the full first-team squad, players and staff, will be fully supported, and we look forward to getting back to training and playing as soon as medical advice allows. Obviously Mikel’s full recovery is the priority now for us all.”

So sad.

It was so disappointing watching UEFA Champions league and Europa games as if you are watching some intense training sessions. The importance of spectators in the stadium has once again been highlighted.

Though it is a tough decision to make but I think the leagues in Europe should be put on suspension. Football is a contact sport and can easily serve as a means of transfer of the virus.

Meanwhile we have moved to Telegram, WhatsApp couldn't contain us anymore. If you are interested just give me a shout-out. We are planning for elections soon. Like I said before Emma Amuneke and some other Ex-Eagles and current coaches are members.

Afobear:
Shut up ...shut your dirty trap up . Which Bible ? Is this corona as deadly as other epidemics from the past centuries ? Is it deadlier than the Black death that ravaged Europe In the Mediaeval times and ate up so many bodies ? Carry your knucklehead religiosity out of here.

Chairman cool down.

It is true that this is not the worst epidemic ever. Even the more recent ones like Ebola and Bird-flu were more deadly.

The issue is the world has become a global village and news fly faster, reaching every corner of the world thereby spreading panic.

Untill now most of us didn't even know about the Black Death that killed between 75M to 200M world wide, especially in Eurasia.

Malaria, cancer, Diabetes, HBP, Hungar/starvation, road accidents, kill people on daily basis far more than Covid-19.
The major reason why the panic is high is because there is no known cure for an infected person yet. People think contacting Coronavirus is equivalent to a death sentence. But the mortality rate remains very low (<5%)

Good news is Scientists/ medical experts are working round the clock. We are expecting a breakthrough, but no one knows when.

I saw this funny cartoon somewhere and decided to share it here. So funny.

Good morning my good people.

Danielnino00:
Aina still owns the RB position.. Collins owns the LB position.
Yes,Ehizubue is untested at national team level,but at least he is a natural right back..he has been playing the role for long.

My concern is that Awazeim didn't play the RB role for his club,hence his development in the role may be limited...

Aina plays both RB and LB and has recently been playing the LB (since the AFCON)

And Ehizibue, he first has to prove he is better than Awaziem in that RB position before the later will be asked to "make way".

These are mondern day Professionals. Switching of positions is not a big deal. If a "make-shift" player is better than a player in his natural position then let that make-shift player feature there. The national team has very limited games to play so every game is a must win. You have to feature ur best in every position.

chrisooblog:
i think the coaches game plan and flow of the game might also determine who should be played. like tbaba rightly said if we are adopting a more expansive attacking approach ehizibue and aina might be the best suited. however if we are under the kush and we need to defend then guys like awaziem would step in

Irrespective of the approach, I doubt Ehizibue will start.

Danielnino00:
Aina isn't enough ?
Ezhibue nko?

Aina has been moved to the LB position. Ehizibue is untested in the National colors.

Mujtahida:
My premise is on the condition that the RB does well as in better than Awaziem.

You said Awaziem should just make way without considering if the new Natural Right back is better or not.

tbaba1234:
I also prefer players in their natural positions. I.e The positions they play weekly at club level. They wouldn't have to make major adjustments from their weekly routine.

This is the ideal situation. But the truth is that these days there is hardly any national team that is adequate in all positions. This is why utility players always make squads because they are used in make-shift positions.

Mujtahida:
NO doubt modern football is dynamic but all[b] I'm advocating for is that players like Awaziem (he's done well in the RB) should play in the position where he is most suited which I believe is CB[/b] if the natural RB comes good.

No matter how dynamic, players have positions they are most suited for.

The less makeshift arrangements we have the more balance there'd be in the team.

He still has to prove he is better than those we have in the CB pairing.

Talking about players' best positions. Player A's best position can be Position 1 and his second best position can be Position 2. Meanwhile Player B's best position is position 2 but Player A is still better than player B in position 2. Then let player A play position 2 except if player B proves he is better in that position. Simple.

Mujtahida:
Enough of makeshift arrangements. It distorts the balance and the dynamics of the team. Now that we have natural RB, let Awaziem slug it out for his own CB role.

Modern football is dynamic. These days footballers typically find 2-3 positions cormfotable to play in.
The National team is such that if you have deficiency in a position you cannot go to the transfer market to get a player for that position. And so the best bet is to convert one of your utility players to fill that role. Utility players are priceless especially in the national teams. That is why they will always make the squads even though they maybe termed "average".

On a new Natural Right Back, he first has to prove that he is better than our make-shift right backs before he can get a place in the team. Not because he is a natural RB then he has to walk straight into the team.

ChrisKels:
Can u define that "rebuilding process" as regards this sqaud? Sure you know the ages of bulk of this squad?


Besides Salisu, Ghana does not have any other quality young player U23, Myron Boadu wouldda been a good mention, but, no how that boy is slipping off the fingers of the Royal Dutch Football Federation

Rebuilding is not limited to young players. This is a senior national team. And so even if you plan injection of new young players you still need to keep some older ones for a balance and transfer of experience.

You steady the ship first with the available players and then you start the injection of new blood.

AllforJesus7:
This is such a weak squad. How did Ghana fall so low?
They will struggle to qualify with this kind of squad.

Plus they have not been doing well at age grade competitions for the last 8+ yrs. They are now reaping the fruit at senior levels.

Danielnino00:
U have misunderstood me..
Tell me what Awazeim has been doing in the RB role that Shehu didn't do when he started playing the role ?

This isn't light and darkness issue at all..they are both makeshift right backs..they should make way for natural right backs while they play their normal position...

Until we get a natural right back who can play better in that role we will continue to use make-shift right backs. This is not an issue of they making way for any natural right back player.

safarigirl:
the only thing that Ghanaian team has over Nigeria now, is their carpentary skills

Make dem no go spoil our fresh ajebo baby boys with jambody football.

Etebo, Simon, Kelechi, Kalu and Ndidi may survive, but I fear for the others

Pata-pata we go recall players like Nwakaeme, and Gbolahan Salami for our attack. Make we follow them play jam body football na

junnyjake:
If you see NT material, you go know. Na u first talk am oo.

Bros, we don see many over the years but las-las

Good that we have invited Cyril Dessers. But I just hope he will not go the way of likes of Akpala, Ujah, Simi, Nwakaeme, Onuachu etc.

We need a striker that can give Osimhen a run for his money in the National team. Whether Dessers is that player, the ball is in his court.

junnyjake:
Let's travel back Memory Lane..

Bros cool down and let's assess Desers in the National team first.

Na so we take shout Onuachu, Simi Nwankwo, Nwakaeme finish but las-las them no bring anything to the table.

Being say he has been invited doesn't mean he has broken into the national team. We just want to see if he will add value.

TheSuperNerd:
So according to Dessers himself he is to be known as CYRIEL KOLAWOLE DESSERS.


Nice.

But I will keep calling him Cyriel Dessers. Already used to the ring in that one. Lol

Where is Truidstar sef. He has been singing "Dessers, Dessers," for over 2years now

Eligreat247:
Chelsea Owner Abramovich Makes Offer For Mikel Obi To Join Chelsea Coaching Crew

Former captain of the senior national team of Nigeria John Obi Mikel has been offered a coaching role at English Premier League side Chelsea according to his Nigerian representative Babawo Mohammed.
Mikel is presently playing for Turkish side Trabzonspor who are battling for the league title but his future outside the pitch appears to have been settled following the offer of a chance to join the coaching set up at his former club Chelsea.

Owner of Chelsea Roman Abramovich told the 33 year old that he will get a chance to start his managerial career at the club once he calls it quit with football as reward for his ten and half years service to the club.

” For now Mikel is pushing to win the league with Trabzonspor but in the future he will return to Chelsea as a coach maybe with the youth team or as one of the assistants of the first team. That promise was made to him by Abramovich”, Babawo told Owngoalnigeri.com.
” At the end of his career he will do his coaching badge and join Chelsea. It’s a reward for his ten and half year stay at the club. A lot of former Chelsea players are part of the team now base on same thing that will bring Mikel back after his career”.

At the moment all of the backroom staff of head coach of Chelsea Frank Lampard are all former players of the club and even the youth teams of Chelsea is also coached by ex players of the team.

Mikel’s teammate Petr Cech is a director at the club and the club failed in their bid to lure the duo of Didier Drogba and Claude Makalele to join Lampard when he was appointed coach in the summer.

I see Mikel Obi as one who can do well as a coach due to his tactical prowess as a player.

ChrisKels:
I remember when we were parading something similar

Goalkeepers: Richard Ofori (Maritzburg United, South Africa), Razak Abalora, (Azam FC, Tanzania) Richard Atta (Hearts of Oak) - verdict; Nobody here would make the eagles team with Uzoho fit



Full-backs: Kwadwo Amoako (AshantiGold), Andy Yiadom (Reading, England), Gideon Mensah (Zulte Waregem, Belgium) - verdict; None of these full backs would make the super eagles team, though, to be fair, the duo of Agbenyenu and Baba are injured


Centre-backs: Nicholas Opoku (Amiens, France), Joseph Aidoo (Celta Vigo, Spain), Kassim Nuhu (Fortuna Dusseldorf, Germany), Habib Mohammed (Asante Kotoko) - verdict; I would consider only Aidoo here, or the eagles, Nuhu has been a bench warmer for Fortuna, hence he can't make our bench


Midfielders: Mubarak Wakaso (Jiangsu Suning, China), Alfred Duncan (Fiorentina, Italy), Iddrisu Baba (RCD Mallorca, Spain), Thomas Partey (Atletico Madrid, Spain), Mohammed Kudus (FC Nordsjaelland, Denmark) - Verdict; Here only Partey and Duncan

Wingers: Christopher Antwi-Adjei (Paderborn, Germany), Tariq Fosu (Brentford FC, England), Samuel Owusu (Al Fayha FC, Saudi Arabia), Andre Ayew (Swansea City, England) - Verdict; Nobody here would make the super eagles team


Strikers: Jordan Ayew (Crystal Palace, England), Richmond Boakye Yiadom (Red Star Belgrade, Serbia), Eugene Ansah (Hapoel Ra’anana, Israel), Yahaya Mohammed (Aduana Stars) - Verdict; Nobody here would make the super eagles team

Official list from @NGSupereagles

Good one from Rohr and the NFF.

Worthy of commendation is the gradual injection of new players with each list being rolled out.

Gone are the days that because we are facing a Sierra Leone our key players will be left out. All in the name of giving the NPFL players a chance or unearthing some "hidden gems".

Every match should be big these days.

We have a talented team and the only way to get them play excellently as a team is to continue to get them to play together.

Good morning my people

I was beginning to reason out this your line up until I saw Nwakali.

I don't know why they are shouting Buhari as if he is a doctor.

What does Buhari want to do? What can Buhari do? Will he treat anybody? People are so obsessed with Buhari, they forget there are professionals that have been hired for this purpose.

It is the same way Nigerians will never seek accountability from their community leaders and representatives at the grassroots level. They Will skip the councillors, LG Chairmen, House of Assembly members, State Governors and rush to Buhari.

Is Buhari the New Super Eagles coach?
