A pretty decent list but when should we start mixing up this goalkeeping department? It's obvious that Ezenwa and most especially Akpeyi are NOT national team caliber goalkeepers, so why do we keep wasting slots by inviting them instead of giving other goalkeepers a chance

Rohr's list for the Libyan double-header

Goalkeepers: Francis Uzoho (Elche FC, Spain); Ikechukwu Ezenwa (Enyimba FC); Daniel Akpeyi (Chippa United, South Africa)

Defenders: Olaoluwa Aina (Torino FC, Italy); Abdullahi Shehu (Bursaspor FC, Turkey); Semi Ajayi (Rotherham United, England); Bryan Idowu (Lokomotiv Moscow, Russia); Chidozie Awaziem (FC Porto, Portugal); William Ekong (Udinese FC, Italy); Leon Balogun (Brighton & Hove Albion, England); Kenneth Omeruo (CD Leganes, Spain); Jamilu Collins (SC Padeborn 07, Germany)

Midfielders: Ogenyi Onazi (Trabzonspor FC, Turkey); Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City, England); Oghenekaro Etebo (Stoke City FC, England); John Ogu (Hapoel Be’er Sheva, Israel)

Forwards: Ahmed Musa (Al Nasr FC, Saudi Arabia); Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City, England); Moses Simon (Levante FC, Italy); Henry Onyekuru (Galatasaray SK, Turkey); Odion Ighalo (Changchun Yatai, China); Alex Iwobi (Arsenal FC, England); Samuel Kalu (Bordeaux FC, France); Isaac Success (Watford FC, England)

That mindset is what often keeps Africans behind. Listen to me bro, I have always bulldozed my way into starting eleven for every single team I have played for. Even when we went to the state camp in those days, I was competing for the same position with the team captain and, after watching me for a few days, the coached asked me if I wanted to move to the CM position to guarantee me a starting slot but I declined and continued fighting for my spot. At the end of the day, I was usually the first person on the team sheet.

The same thing happened in college and I fought and fought until I got my position back! So go figure ....

True. But my argument is that that partnership hasn't really excelled either. I mean, the team has conceded 13 goals in 7 games ... doesn't strike me as an impenetrable defensive paring.

TheSuperNerd:
Leon has obviously been very good in Brighton colors in the EPL. But Hughton have always preferred Dunk and Duffy. It will take some doing or off happening to have Leon bench either of them right now. Time will tell.

We no dey see your "O pari" again.

Thanks man. I appreciate.

Bros, I weak o. Leon Balogun's own is the one that gives me the biggest heart ache. Each time the dude has been given a chance to play, he's always been B&H's best defender, and yet the coach always choses to start him on the bench. And it isn't as if the team has been playing great without him either


Strange!

Danielnino00:
According to AIO football, Shehu is likely to be recalled.. I hope its not true.. We already have enough bench warmers in defence in Awazeim, Omeruo and Balogun... Moreover, I want Aina to take over that RB role....

Belated Happy birthday to you, boss!

Wishing you many more fruitful years ahead .... to continue enjoying and analyzing the beautiful game with us.

Thanks bro. Including Lord terzurum5 and Elder enomakos.

Is Sadio Mane better than Eden Hazard? Certainly not. But is Mane one of the most underrated player in the EPL. Absolutely correct!

Two years ago and last season when the Barca org were literally walking on their heads to sign Philip Coutinho, I actually advised them that they were signing the wrong Liverpool player. The best player at Liverpool, the past 2 years, has been Sadio Mane and I like his game a lot. He's better than Coutinho and much better than the highly overrated Mo Salah.

However, to compare him with Eden Hazard is taking it too far. To me, Hazard is the #3 best player in the world. And here are the top three:

#1. Leo Messi
#2. Neymar Jr.
#3. Eden Hazard

But iI have listened to the peace of advice from our leaders and most especially from our revered leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Afonjas and their cults of personality. That's why they would remain in slavery forever, unfortunately

Tell when, who da heck is Bola Tinubu? Isn't he the same Chicago based cab driver, who lied about getting a degree from the University of Chicago? In a decent society, that man should be in jail ... instead the Afonjas elected him the governor of Lagos states and gave him the free reigns to steal them blind. Today, he's an Afonja leader and kingmaker. Utterly ridiculous!

I believe we (Liverpool) will loose today's game.

I don't think the Carabao cup is among Klopp's priorities and he might shirk from fielding any first 11 player

Sarri is gonna show us today whether this Chelsea team is for real. I am betting on Liverpool to win this match tho.

FIFA should end all these individual awards for a team sport. It has a become a big joke. Any real soccer fan doesn't need FIFA to tell him/her whom the best player in the world is.

So Mister Komekn:

Kelechi Iheanacho scored one goal and one assist, plus the MOM performance again yesterday for this average Leicester City team. And my question to you and your EPL fan boys simple is: What should Kelechi Iheanacho do to deserve a regular starting spot on that very average team? Does he need to walk on water before he becomes a starter

First thing first: expand and upgrade the runways. I went to that airport last year and the whole place was an eyesore. You don't have an international airport by fiat, the federal govt needs to do the necessary upgrades. The expansion of the runways to accommodate international flights should be the first priority. The upgrade should also include installing new LED lighting and pavement markings and grooves.

Frankly speaking, without a runway, you don’t really have an airport. It is the most critical infrastructure that an airport has, and it’s important to maintain it as well. Stuffs like the TV masts are minor details. After all, the control towers can reroute the airplanes even if the masts remain where they are. That's how we tend to major in the minors in Nigeria

Bros, I went to school in Ogun state. Hence, I am NOT trying to recite an ancient history here but speaking based on a PERSONAL experience. Take it from someone who knows, Yoruba girls in particular have some form of curiosity about Igbo guys. They claimed that they are big, strong and rough .... if you know what I mean Please let's not go there, I have loads and loads of stories to tell.

I love Yoruba people, so this assertion has nothing to do with ethnic pride or anything of sort .... just the facts, as I experienced them.


O pari

geosegun:
That assumption is a very BIG lie.

You don't know Yorubas...They value and trust their own more than any other. It's used to be seen as a taboo in many families in those days for a girl to follow an Igbo boy? Things are changing now though... there have been more approval of Yoruba guys marrying Igbo ladies. If you see any Yoruba girl following an igbo boy, know that it's mostly for a gain). Although there may be few exceptions.

Igbo girls have a thing for Yoruba boys, hence they are happy to do anything to have a Yoruba deamon as a husband. Igbo girls are industrious and very supportive of their husband just as the Yoruba girls.

So go get your fact right.

Like I had said several times, Bukola Saraki is fantastically corrupt but he's the one he stands any chance of beating Buhari. Having said that, I am still in-between two minds when it comes to the two men:

- Buhari is a religious fanatic and the godfather of the Fulani herdsmen
- Saraki is fantastically corrupt and would turn Nigeria into his piggy bank

Now, who's the better of the two evils?? Whom amongst the two men should I endorse
