Awaziem is still developing. With the game time he is having in Ligue 1, he would get better. A future SE regular starter for sure.
Ekong's regular start in the Super Lig is beginning to give him even more confidence. He will get even better.
Why is no one talking about Ambrose anymore?.. I just did a little research on him yesterday. he is still doing his thing in the Scottish top tier.
No reports of any heroics from in the media though.

Yes those 3 defenders have done pretty well at the CHAN/WAFU level. They have a case for SE invitation at least.

Kog45:
Not even big leagues but solid as Balogun especially CB position,with due respect to Ekong i still have my reservation.Awaziem sorry to say i don't rate him with what i saw against South Africa,hope he prove me wrong,Agbo too average for SE.

Rohr just need to address this before it's too late,initially i thought our fullbacks are d issue but with availability of player like Shehu, Echiejele,Aina,Ebuehi,may be Okoro and hopefully Nura Abdullahi we are covered.

I don't know how serious NFF or Rohr towards d full switch of Uduokhai to Nigeria,if d guy is available better for d team but my attention shifted to this WAFU tourney and i can say am impress with Eze,Adeleye,Okoro, though we might say d oppositions are weak but those guy are showing promises,hope Rohr is watching.

The Eze and Adeleye i saw against Ghana cannot be worse than Awaziem i saw against South Africa,so need to call this guys to camp and learn.

lol.. we are talking about who is down the pecking order as far as Reading coach is concerned.

forgiveness:
Out of the 3 league matches he played this season for Readings, they lost only one. Even, in the league or FA cups this is the the first match he lost. So, I don't get u.

Game ends 1-1. Wolfsburg's misery continue. I hope them no change coach again after 3 more games.. lol

Yes, besides Balogun we don't have any defender playing in the big leagues.
So it would be a wonderful thing to have Uduokhai.

forgiveness:
Hopefully. we get him after we qualify for he world cup next year by the grace of almighty God.

Nsofor Makes Cape Town City Debut In Defeat To Orlando Pirates
By James Agberebi

https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Obinna-Nsofor.jpg

Former Super Eagles forward Obinna Nsofor made his debut for Cape Town City FC in their 1-0 away defeat to Orlando Pirates in the South African Premier League on Tuesday night.

Nsofor, who started from the bench, was brought on in the 71st minute for Michael Majoro.

The only goal was scored by Thabo Qalinge in the 82nd minute.
The defeat leaves Cape Town occupying the seventh spot on six points, while Orlando Pirates top on 11 points.

Nsofor joined Cape Town from German lower division club Dstmstadt in September.

Nsofor represented Nigeria at three Africa Cup of Nations (2006, 2008, 2010) and was at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

He was also in the U-23 Eagles squad that won silver at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Very valid argument in my opinion.
We can't just write off any lower league player -- even NPFL players.
When we see a player of class, we will know. And when he is invited, he should prove it all over again.
So share a link and/or video.

Loogan:
Hi everyone, with the ongoing left back issues the SE has anyone taken time to scout the former U-17 player Usman Abass, he plays in the Latvian league metta Fc and is one of the best players in the league, he's just 20 or 21 and had solid two years experience even though it's a low key rated club, nevertheless he is the dream left back, he's got everything and outsidetheboot.com have written a scout report on him, he's a real talent..
Now I know people can argue that his league is obscure and has no big profile(sheau doesn't play in a top league but proves quality with the national team)or that he doesn't have enough experience has some put it. I would have loved him in the world Nigeria squad but it looks like he dosent have that pedigree and experience yet.
We don't have much options and we have to face the fact that echiejile cannot provide that quality we need nor the so called experience which has no impact whatsoever, to challenge in a World Cup.

Zambia List 13 Things To Do To Overcome Nigeria In Uyo

https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/tp5-16.jpg


It’s less than three weeks to the all-important 2018 World Cup qualifying game between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and the Chipolopolo of Zambia at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on october 7, 2017.

The Zambians are not leaving any stone unturned in a bid to win the game and thus avenge the 2-1 home loss they suffered on Matchday 1 while also nicking the sole ticket to Russia.

A Zambian journalist, simply identified by the initials RW and writing in the Zambian Observer , has therefore made a checklist of the 13 things Zambia must do to defeat Nigeria in October.

https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Super-Eagles-of-Nigeria.jpg


See if you agree with him…


1. We should respect Nigeria more than we did in the first half, but not fear them, no surrender, no retreat, no defeat.

2. Use attack-minded 4-5-1 or 4-4-2, remember Nigeria can sit back if they wish, winning is our only option.

3. Don’t allow them to shoot, we should close in and frustrate. They can score from range, place goals that outstretch the keepers, hit volleys and score from set pieces, we know that.

4. Long searching balls will be less effective, the Nigerian centre backs are physical and solid.

5. Tactically designate a marker for Victor Moses.

https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Zambia-1-400x225.jpg


6. Recall Fwayo Tembo, he can beat the Nigerian defenders, he gave Nigeria problems in our home fixture.

7. Exploit the flanks with options of Fashion Sakala, Augustine Mulenga or Fwayo Tembo.

8. Enoch Mwepu and Kondwani Mtonga should solidify their partnership, that’s our engine against Nigeria.

9. Through balls will work well for Patson Daka’s speed better than high balls.

10. When we manage to kill the game, Lungu Chisamba can come in to hold the ball and invite fouls.

11. Get a better jersey for the boys, they are toiling and sacrificing and deserve a better jersey than that 4th grade stripe.

12. Wedson Nyirenda should continue wearing the light blue jacket and running in the opposite direction when we score, it’s or new “luck white shirt”.

13. Last but most importantly, Pray.

Onyekuru Loses Coach As Anderlecht Sack Weiler


https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Anderlecht-.jpg


Super Eagles striker Henry Onyekuru’s coach at Anderlecht, Rene Weiler, has been sacked, the Belgian club announced in a statement on Monday.

Weiler took charge at Anderlecht after a two-year spell with German Bundesliga 1. side, FC Nürnberg in 2016.

Former Switzerland international Weiler won 36, drew 16 and lost 44 of his 96 matches in charge of Anderlecht.

Onyekuru, who has scored three goals in six appearances, will now receive instructions from Thomas Binggeli, who will be assisted by Nicolas Frutos and David Sesa temporarily.

The 20-year-old Onyekuru is on a season-long loan deal from Everton.

Binggeli’s first game in charge of the team will be against Westerlo in the Belgian Cup game before their UEFA Champions League clash against Scottish side, Celtic.

Anderlecht are ninth in the Belgian topflight division with nine points from seven games.

A statement on Anderlecht’s official website thanked Weiler who guided the club to their 34th league title last season – “for his commitment, his services and his professionalism”.

Wolfsburg sack manager after four matches

Wolfsburg have announced they have sacked head coach Andries Jonker after just four league games this season.
Ads by Kiosked

The Bundesliga outfit slipped to a 1-0 defeat away to Stuttgart on Saturday and are now only two points above the relegation places after winning one of their opening four matches.

Wolfsburg have only managed to score two goals so far this season and have taken the decision to sack Jonker after just seven months in charge.

“Decisive for us in taking this step at this point in time was not just the impression made upon us during the game against Stuttgart, but rather based upon the perception of stagnated development amongst the team, which was to a great extent newly formed during the summer,” a statement read on the club’s official website.

“We expressly wish to thank Andries Jonker and his coaching staff, for rescuing VfL’s position in the top-flight at the last minute at the end of last season.

“The decision to make a change of head-coach at this early stage of the season wasn’t easy for any of us. However, during our internal consultations, we ultimately came to the conclusion that we wish to approach the task with a newly formed coaching-team.”
