Well done sir [quote author=Kog45 post=66192435][/quote]

Aina would come in for either Ebuehi or Idowu. What's conservative about that. Don't forget Aina debuted before Idowu. What do you have to say about Joel Obi?

Dedebanky85:
This goes to show that Rohr is a very conservative coach. He doesn't just change his teams for the mere fact of changing it. That's why i fear for Aina breaking in. Now he's trusting Idowu, it's gonna be tough for Aina. I even thought an Awaziem or Omeruo would have started in place of Balogun. Well things could still change in 7hrs before the official starting list is out but I doubt it as he tends to start with his last training team.
I just feel for Aina and the other CBs.

Uppercut hahhahahaha

TheSuperNerd:
This guy is really a clown I swear... Loooollll.....bia Elyte Endorphin.... oya face front....

I don't see Akpeyi as one who will get the #1 slot. But if handlers are too stubborn sometimes life corrects the situation.
And this is true in other spheres of life. In reality I don't wish any player bad. If I do I will say it straight up.

TheSuperNerd:
You are talking Echiejile... I thought some will even bring up Akpeyi here... Lol...

I recall when this became a matter, I was very careful about it... I cannot wish Akpeyi injury. But at the same time I want the best for us in goal. It is truly a matter of how we value these players as humans too.

It's not a wish. Yes it's true some people wish that players get injured.

Icon4s:
You see what I am talking about?

Because you don't like a player the next thing is to wish him injured.

lol U always have to consider context.
If Echiejile is injured, is it good for his career? No. Is it good for SE? Maybe yes lol.

Icon4s:
The last time I saw that kind of like or even more was when Ikechukwu Ezenwa was ruled out for 3weeks following the injury sustained in that CHAN semi-final.

The other day komekn attacked someone here for allegedly rejoicing over the injury of Okazaki of Leicester, but I defended the fellow as I saw it as being born out of patriotism for a Nigerian player - Iheanacho.

How some people would rejoice over a Nigerian player's injury is worrisome to me.

For those that have cleared the air on why they clicked like on that comment, no wahala but just be sincere about it.

I am not being a judge or a Police here. I mean... people have the right to like whatever they chose to or not. But let us remember that our overall target and expected is for us to contribute to the development of Nigerian football.

Lol at least I no cover up say na Joel dey pay me to post.

asha80:
na you comot am na ..maybe you no want L for life

Ok since na harmless ur penalty will small. NEXT in line.

darkelf:
Sir joebie. Loll.

I laughter ooo.

Abeg, na just harmless likes things I'd ooo

Wetin u do to the "L" na?

asha80:
anytime i see your moniker the first thing that comes to my mind is Joel obi

In fact all the JOs, barring injuries

TheSuperNerd:
Depending on how the #NGASRB game goes, I strongly believe that John will be the first off the bench in the midfield dept. And I also believe that barring injuries, he will make the Russia party. John Ogu is already Russia-bound.

Make una line up face panel. All 5 of u.

darkelf:
Seconded. Some one like me may just give him likes for constantly updating us with the latest news.

That specific pic would likely be taken in November.

TheSuperNerd:
Quick question... Name the moniker that you know 100% believes this is gonna happen...

If you get it right then...

They are the real GWG die-hards... Believe me... Shout-outs to those Monikers mehn...

Lol

gbosaa:
Diplomatic boycott they called it. I hope Nigeria follows suit. Imagine Nigerian politicians, ministers, senators etc boycotting the tournament. The likes of Dalung won’t go, Dino I’m sure will be planning on how to take photos with clowns and circus girls.

It’d surely save Nigeria some revenue.

lol I dey play

TheSuperNerd:
Loooolll.... Nooooooo.... Not at all. Newbie kwa... Naaah.

I was just particular about the "been hammering for years" part... As if you be one Methuselah like that... Honestly, I just saw the funny angle to it...

Lol

safarigirl:
azzin. Pesin wey never kick ball, he fit go the way of Nwakali sef, snap picture finish, go house, never to return

Haha.. he dey yan like Ajayi don already score hat trick

safarigirl:
oya, now wey dem invite am, wetin happen?

Trying to rub it in that I'm a newbie abi

TheSuperNerd:
Ofcos I know naa... I was just teasing ya Looollll... Hehehehehe....

Already did. Aigbogun invites Bournemouth teenage midfielder. First foreign based player to be invited to the U20s

TheSuperNerd:
I've been dropping posts on the thread. But ofcos the latest is their 2-game friendly in Egypt against the their host's U-20 side and ofcos the age cheat brouhaha. Please go ahead and post in the U-20s... It is natural that the main focus seem to be on the Nation's biggest football team, The Super Eagles.

Lol that wasn't literal years. Just like saying I've been saying it forever.

TheSuperNerd:
Sir Tbaba nailed it in those few words... "Fluid not robotic".. I wish I could like it a billion times... Honestly.

But uhmmm @bolded.... Do remind me when you walked in here again...

Thank u tbaba. This is what I've been hammering here for years.

tbaba1234:
Not true, Football is fluid not robotic...

Asking of evidence? Read the modified again slowly.

forgiveness:
What informed your mind that that I am a Federal character kind of guy?

Do you have any substantial evidence to back it up or you are just being prejudice?

Bournemouth Confirms Invitation Of Teenage Midfielder Nnamdi Ofoborh By Flying Eagles Coach

March 26, 201803

Highly rated Bournemouth teen midfielder Nnamdi Ofoborh has been called up by the coach of the Nigeria U20 team who are preparing for the qualifiers for the 2019 African Youth Championship.


18 year old Ofoborh penned a two and a half year deal with the Premier League outfit in December, a year after joining them from Millwall, the team he joined after leaving Tottenham Hotspur.

He travelled with the first team of Bournemouth for their Premier League clash against Swansea City. A sign of how much he has impressed coach Eddie Howe with his performances for the Under-18s and 21s.

Ofoborh becomes the first foreign based player to be called up coach Paul Aigbogun who is presently with the team in Egypt, where they are going to play two friendly games against their Egyptian counterparts.

Already, their first game ended in a 0-0 draw earlier today, with the second game billed for Wednesday before Ofoborh will join up with the squad upon their return from Egypt on Friday.

Wow

tbaba1234:
Flying Eagles Douglas Achiv...

I didn't say there was no contact. I meant exactly what u are saying.

tbaba1234:
It wasn't a dive.. He was clipped.. The polish guy did not even protest. You can only say he exaggerrated the fall but he was clipped.

Oh no!

tbaba1234:
Kelechi Iheanacho ruled out of the Serbia game with a fractured right hand....

Let's not forget how he sneeked into the center to score against Arsenal at the Super Cup. He has a free role with SE, but he needs to pass the ball more. Very slippery indeed and can cause harvoc in the box.

Iheanacho has a thing for good placement of the ball, and can react quickest in the box. Different strengths.

MetalJigsaw:
It would be great...

You know why I liked that SS position you put Moses?

Moses is a very slippery player. He is very difficult to mark out. His intelligent dribbling and dazzling runs is always a nightmare for defenders... And he's a goal threat too.

This is one thing Iheancho doesn't have. This is what is behind his struggling to link himself from the defence to attack at times.
He is most of the time very predictable.

TheSuperNerd any updates on Flying Eagles?
I'm about to post something. Forumithes let's not forget our sister thread.

True and he dived the other day. Still he is a danger in the box. He should be cautioned though.

kennysville:
Moses will never cooperate. Too selfish! More concerned about how he looks than how the team looks. World cup is almost here. Nobody should scream moses is selfish then O! Una dey see now, una still dey smile because its friendlies, he is gettin away with selfishness now. If i hear any noise I will call out names.

#Teamwork

Awaziem will be supporting. Simon tracked back during the qualifiers.

darkelf:
Can simeon cope with the demands of a RWB?

Is he ready to track back when the need arises and as frequently as possible?

It's going to be a really challenging role for him

Good observation

MetalJigsaw:
I think it's better if Ekong is at the center because of his positioning, concentration and vigilance. It you rewatch the Argentina and Poland games you'll see that most of the crosses that were made into our box, Ekong was always there to head them away. And he blocks a lot of shots too- quick shots that could beat Uzoho and into the net. And he's very agile more, than Balogun.

Uzoho needs a very vigilant and focused CB in front of him for obvious reason.


Balogun loses concentration sometimes and that's what caused the controversy about the Poles's claim for a goal.

As the ball bounced onto his chest he wasn't quickly aware as it come to him. It took some seconds to clear the ball which is already heading to the net.

Then Finals will be a reality

andrew444:
Add Sunday Mba and Fegor Ogude also

Spot on.

On Iheanacho, we should let that boy deliver on dead ball situations. I even trust him with spot kicks. Role-wise, I won't give KC the primary #10 responsibility.

tbaba1234:
I thought Balogun had a very good game against Poland. The best, he has had since the Cameroon away leg. His sharpness appears to have returned.

If you watch the game again, you will realise how good he was.

In my opinion, Ekong and Balogun are still the best CB pairing for Nigeria. I will love to see Awaziem -Ekong again though.

I think, Iheanacho flopped in the role of linking the attack, Iwobi might have done a better job there instead of sticking him in the wings.
