I think as far as having a rookie train with the big boys, let Bonaventure get the chance this time. Let it be rotational. lol Osimhen should concentrate on starting the season well with Watford. Then he gets another chance in future.

AndreTAyodeji:
Success would be called up if not injured but Osimhen wont make the cut because of Nwaekeme`s invitation.Nwaekeme,Nacho,Ighalo and Kayode might be the invited strikers and there is also a possibility of Rohr dropping one out of the 4 strikers.

Peter Olayinka Orchestrate Standard Liege Whitewash

Peter Olayinka

FacebookTwitterGoogle

Relatively unknown Nigerian forward, Peter Olayinka, played a prominent role spearheading Waregem’s attack as they humiliated Standard Liege 4-nil at Stade Maurice Dufrasne, to begin the fourth round of matches in the Jupiler League.

Standard Liege who paraded another Nigerian, Uche Agbo, had no reply for the rampaging Essevee. The first half ended goal-less, but one could only wonder what Willy Naessens may have told his boys during the break to put the game beyond the homers.

Olayinka began the assault about 20 minutes after the break when he helped Nil De Pauw with an assist, to put the visitors ahead. Peter Olayinka later scored his first goal of the season in the 73rd minute, reacting fast to Sander Coopman’s cross which left veteran Mexican international goalie, Guillermo Ochoa, helpless. Peter’s goal was sandwiched by Belgian-Tunisian, Onur Kaya’s brace.

The 36 Lions FC product later made way for Aaron Leya Iseka in the 88th minute.

The Nigerians excellent performance tonight brings his goals contribution tally for Zulte Waregem, so far this season to seven — six of which are assists. Waregem will top the Jupiler League table temporarily, as other matches will be concluded tomorrow.

Olayinka is currently serving a one-year loan term away from parent club, KAA Gent. He is well traveled for his age, with previous stints in Cyprus, Czech Republic and Albania.

Well 2020 is 3 years away. It's still hopeful thinking.

komekn:
When you say, take the world by storm What it means is that we have some world class U21 players who should be making big waves in football.

I am not trying to burst the bubble but when I think of World class U21 players I can talk about Mbappe, Dembele, Bamidele Alli, Gabriel J., Martial, Asensio,
as in top 10 players.

Within the top 50 I would include KC, Iwobi, but apart from these two who else do we have that is currently cutting it at the moment huh

Ok true. We don't need experiments. We know our proven coaches. Amuneke has knocked himself out.
Icon4s:
Siasia cannot handle both U20 and U23 because the 2019 Flying Eagles and 2019 AAG/ 2020 Olympics team will exist concurrently and play competitions concurrently.

The AYC qualifiers starts early next year and climax early 2019 with the AYC. The WYC takes place June 2019. Meanwhile AAG preparations and camping starts late 2018 with the AAG qualifiers to commence early 2019 and also Olympics qualifiers starts early 2019. The AAG holds 3rd quarter of 2019 and by this time the Olympics qualifiers would have reached an advanced stage already. The CAF U23 holds December 2019.

So you see, the U20 and U23 team will be active concurrently so they need two different coaching crews.
Players who excel from the 2019 U20 set would be invited for selection with the 2020 U23 team

Remember also how it was with the 2015 Flying Eagle and 2015AAG/2016 Olympics team?

Yes. Girona was leading at the time I followed the game. I was expecting Kayode to feature.

I see he's training with the team already. I will definitely be looking out for him. I heard Girona defeated Man city in a friendly earlier this week.

well Siasia is a confident coach. From his track record he is good tactically and hardly intimidated by the name of the opponent. All the coaches we have mentioned are good in their own right. I think the U23 coaching job is a part time one since te tournament is held every 4 years and there is hardly any activity at the U23 level besides Olympics preparation. Which is why I think Siasia should handle both. He has a good track record with both as well

Scouting is one thing. Coaching is yet another. Obuh can be saddled with scouting for us at all levels.


Icon4s:
Usman was in the team.

Ndidi and Simon were exempted due to clubs engagement.

Michael Olaitan was still recovering from his then health issues.

Considering also the fact that Omeruo, Onazi, Musa, Nwofor, Azeez also played under Obuh he has produced a lot of talents and I feel we may need to reconsider him as one of our youths coaches. U20 or U23.

Micheal Olaitan was on fire in 2013/14 season. His career has nosedived since he collapsed.

He is now a free agent

That's the "my boys" factor.
it seems most players from the U20 class of Turkey 2013 were not given a chance. (John Obuh boys)
Here is the list (Bolded were given a chance):

Okani, Ndidi, Madu, Shehu, Okorie, Aminu, Michael, Kayode, Ajagun, Gero, Agboyi, Usman, Falagha, Amaefule, Eduok (I remember had age discrepancies), Pyagbara, Orkuma, Osuchukwu, Egbedi, Agbo, Simon


Icon4s:
He didn't give Olanrewaju Kayode a chance. Instead he kept faith with rookies like Awoniyi and Osimhen only to drop them later.

I even rated (till now) Kayode above Sadiq Umar.

Also Abdul Ajagun deserved a chance.

He preferred to play Sincere Seth at CB when Kenneth Omeruo was available for selection.
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 12:49pm On Aug 18, 2017
There is always a "his boys" factor. But let's not forget he gave many players a chance before Rio. If not for European clubs refusing to release many.

Is there any player you have in mind, he didn't give a chance?

Icon4s:
But Siasia too has his own o.

He is no doubt an excellent tactician and his teams typically play total football.

But my problem with him is still players selection. You know he always keeps faith with "his boys".

FLASHBACK: Omidiji follows me on Twitter. He even posted happy memories with the time he spent with Danladi. Today we have a different U15 coach.

Nigeria U15 Coach Hoping To Convince Omidiji To Play For Nigeria, Blasts Dedevbo For Messing Up Sister
Published: November 15, 2016
Nigeria U15 Coach Hoping To Convince Omidiji To Play For Nigeria, Blasts Dedevbo For Messing Up SisterNigeria U15 coach, Danladi Nasidi, is confident he can convince FC Dordrecht sensation Lateef Omidiji Jr to pledge his international future to Nigeria and not United States or Netherlands, but admits he faces a stumbling block after his sister, Sophia, was unceremoniously dropped from the Falconets squad ahead of the Fifa U20 World Cup.

Omidiji, who has been dubbed the new Luis Suarez by top scouts in Europe, has been training with the United States U14s squad at the National Training Center in Carson, California since Sunday, November 13, and is extremely happy with the training facilities.

“I have been making efforts to get Lateef Omidiji Jr to play for Nigeria, and efforts are still on, ” said Danladi Nasidi to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“Whenever the NFF call for camping, I will get him back. Since 2014, we’ve not had an U13 and U15 team, I have been pleading with them to bring this programme back even if it is monthly camping or friendly matches.

“Lateef has a passion for Nigeria, but his sister Sophia has been messed up. I am still begging him that this is his fatherland, I am positive we will get him back.”

Danladi Nasidi thinks that the Nigerian youth teams, Under 17 and U20, have not lived up to expectations in recent matches because the Nigerian Federation chose to ignore their conveyor belt, the U13 and U15 squads.

“The youth programme is the bedrock of any national team. Kelechi Iheanacho, Taiwo Awoniyi, Lazarus and Akpan started from U13, now they are the strength of the Super Eagles. That is why our U17 and U20 teams are messing up.

“U15 have friendly matches in Dubai at the end of this month until December, but we are not sure of attending, ” Nasidi added.

Meanwhile, Lateef Omidiji’s representative has announced that the whole world is watching how the Nigeria Football Federation handles the 13-year-old’s matter, and other players of Nigerian descent may not accept invitations to the national teams in future.

“There are so many Nigerian kids abroad waiting to see how it goes with Lateef Omidiji Jr, except Barrister Akinwunmi, they, the NFF, did nothing.

“Dembele is being chased by the Ivory Coast because they see the importance of youth. Eagles come from an egg.

“Then they chase Iwobi, Troost-Ekong and Leon after they play for the youth teams for other countries, we cannot have a true U17 team if we continue doing that,” he informed allnigeriasoccer.com.

Omidiji is expected to take part in a maximum of five games during the United States U14 get-together which ends on Sunday.

I think Siasia is our best at the U20/U23 level.
Amuneke has already said he is done with underage coaching.
I'm satisfied with Manu Garba for U17 if he goes back to his old ways of doing things.
And Danladi Nasidi as U15.

There is no need to change what is already working.


Icon4s:
Yeah. I recall.

I have issues with Amuneke's players selections.

The next U23 coach would really need to do justice with players selections. We currently have a large pool of 18 to 20 years olds that can take the world by storm at the 2020 Olympics.

you know our way na.. make generalizations as facts.. How could an official say they were all older? Did he check each and everyone of them personally?

We are never thorough in our culture. We make generalizations and it becomes "them say", then everyone believes it.

Icon4s:
See my brother. I advocate that we use players of the right age for this age grade.

Parading under aged players will not do us any good.
The NFF cannot tell us that all the players that featured at that NPFL U15 are overraged.

I saw a couple of them who were very obviously U15.

All players of that age grade born in Nigeria are eligible to be considered for selection.
Select them first and let the MRI scan be the final judge.

If this was how the 2013 and 2015 Eaglets teams were selected players like Success and Osimhen would probably not be who and where they are today.

Nigerian-Born Liverpool Winger Adekanye Named In Netherlands SquadIbadan-born winger Bobby Adekanye is set to return from the international wilderness after he was named in the provisional Netherlands U19 squad for their upcoming friendlies.

The 18-year-old has not featured for the Dutch youth teams after suffering an ankle ligament injury while on international duty with the U17 squad in 2016.

KNVB coach Maarten Stekelenburg has taken note of the fact that Adekanye is in tip-top condition and included him in his provisional squad.

The Netherlands U19s will face Belgium (August 30), Portugal (September 1) and hosts Finland (September 4) during the international break.

Adekanye, who has caps for Netherlands U16 and U17 national teams, has not ruled out playing for the country of his birth, Nigeria, in future.

Rosenborg Newboy Adegbenro Steals The Headline With Debut Goal Against Ajax
August 17, 2017020

Samuel Adegbenro got off to a flying start with his new Norwegian side by scoring the lone goal in their 1-0 win over European giants Ajax at the Amsterdam Arena.

Adegbenro joined Rosenborg 72 hours ago from fellow Norwegian side Viking for a fee in the region of €1.5m, and was named on the bench for their Europa League qualifiers against Ajax.

The 21 year old proved his money worth ‎nine minutes after coming on with the only goal of the game in the 77th minute to hand Rosenborg a shock 1-0 win.

Adegbenro will no doubt be pinning for a start when the host the return leg next week in Norway, where a win will see them progress to the group stage of the Europa League.

Yes thanks for the info. He's been promoted. But he was called up for that game. Having Alampasu as 2nd choice for a first tier side, and Uzoho as a 3rd choice for a first tier side is definitely good news for us. I guess we are still scared to use them in the SE.

He is the Deportivo third choice keeper for the season. He will play mainly reserve team games unless there is a major injury crisis.
