Funny enough..I will excuse Simon,Nacho,Onyekuru(sadly), Awoniyi against Ghana.
Dennis,Ighalo and Osimehn should be brought back. Etebo and Kalu? That depends on what happens before March.
Balogun should stay back abeg...

Ajayi is important for this match...one, in case Ghana wan do long balls..bring him in.

Two, his aerial threat will be needed offensively but wait, who will cross the ball? Chai! May God epp us

TFLASHOGEE:
if Eguavoen will be using 4-4-2 then let osimehn and ighalo spear Head the attack then Onuachu seat on the bench, the problem come be say where nacho go start from as he will have to settle for a place in the midfield/ wing or seat on the bench which I don't see happening why I choose ighalo to start is that baba Sabi drag defenders and he will help reduce much pressure on osimehn thou we know na osigoal be the go to guy for goals.

Osimehn should be partnered with either Umar or Dennis...Ighalo can come in later

TheGoodJoe:

I expect a pairing of Osimhen and Iheanacho. However, Iheanacho will need to do more dropping deep than he did at the world cup. He needs to learn how to own the central offense area. Despite finishing, Iheanacho is also a good passer.

However, we can not deny the intensity Iwobi brought before the red card. If we go with a three-man midfield, I tip Iwobi to take the ten role.

We frightened teams at the AFCON and I think this will make the bedrock of the strategy Ghana will adopt. They will keep it tight at the back and hit us hard and fast with counters.

We need to close up spaces to prevent surprises.

Most important thing is us saving Ndidi's energy by restricting his offensive plays and saving it to help break down attacks.

Nacho should step aside please. Aribo should come in for Nacho...he is a good goalscorer and will drop deep in case we need more body in Midfield. And Iwobi won't be available sir

Kog45:
Sir,Sadiq,Awoniyi and Dessers should just step aside for that match.If I have my way Maduka too....the issue with Sadiq is that his good performance in any match is not guaranteed.

Nigeria vs Ghana we need players who will delivered at any giving opportunity,no mistake should occur or else we paid dearly for it.

Semi is cool.

I understand you sir...I'm just looking at plan B. In case we need to play cross and nod.

Kog45:
Victor Osimehn should just do the needful and avoid injury and good Balogun is back,possibly we will have Ighalo too cos the match na gidigbo (Bullmastif vs Rotweller),hope to see Etebo in the squad....my major concern is goalkeeping.

Sadiq and Ajayi too...

jihday:
same sentiment applies to Okpala, can’t expect him to admit to being shady.

I chose to go with the Okpala camp because...
1. Okpala here is like a 3rd party. The issue was between Keshi and Taiwo.

2. How may players in the camp came out to corroborated Taiwo?

3. There was no evidence from Taiwo that proved Keshi was shady.

You don't need a chorister gown and woolen helmet to judge a matter...at times,all you need na common sense from the street

andrewbaba44:
Arteta doesn’t have a good man management .

You think so? He is a rookie and he needed to set some record straight. I won't blame him sha...by the way, not every coach can be like Arsene Wenger, coaching and fathering at the same time ...

andrewbaba44:
He is right to you doesn’t mean he is right to me

I grab...that is what makes it an argument...

jihday:
can’t take this headline serious because Okpala rushed to some ojuelegba blogs to say that, Taiwo said this 4 days earlier

You don't expect Taiwo to come out and say he is at fault na.

charlesemeka85:
If coaches can handle the hot heads and egocentric retired and active players like cantona,cr7,ibrahimovic,gattuso,pogba,gascoigne,best etc then that of osaze,Taiwo and co na moi moi

Not every coach has the patience and right method to handle hot headed players. Maybe Keshi couldn't tolerate such hot headedness and decided to stop calling up the player.

Baba be like ... Take your wahala and go...

charlesemeka85:
there must be a reason for once a loyal party to become rebellious

Taiwo before keshi came on board was one of the most loyal and dedicated player in the national team then. He was ever present and never for once agitate nor refuse call up

Have you asked yourself why he changed over night? Abi keshi been Dey eye em wife?

Auba was Arsenal's best goalscorer..he delivered the FA cup almost singlehandedly bro...he is now at Barca simply because he fell out with the coach.

Time and attitude changes bro...there are some times you will feel like a senior player in camp and that is when ego will set in then you start disagreeing with your coach.

andrewbaba44:
You always justify nonsense with confidence

one of the good thing about you is that you are a gentle man and very respectful.

oga Andrew...Thegoodjoe is right on this one please. Very spot on. Every coach has a particular kind of players that suit their ideology and tactics. For Keshi, he selected players which he knew would deliver for him and he got the AFCON trophy and Round of 16 in WC.
However,I'm not disputing the fact that some local coaches are corrupt but in Keshi's case, he is justified.

TFLASHOGEE:
emekus why not critize keshi also for bringing in Sunday mba or winning the afcon with the frindge players and also going to the second round of the world cup with Dem or was Martin and uche not in the 2010 world cup and was yakubu not a top striker when he clearly missed an open net, perior to us winning the 2013 nations cup was it not the pros that executes the previous ones we kept on loosing in the semi final and final and celebrating golden bronze, today Sunday mba a frindge player, has a golden medal at afcon with a golden goal which is missing in some of our so called important stickers profile keshi choice of player's worked for him irrespective of him being controversial or not every manager will always have thier preferred kind of player's Same as Rorh and Eguavoen and amunike will do same The earlier you know this the better for you

bro...is there any bar around you? Enter the place and collect two chilled bottles of beer.
Joke aside, your response here is impressive.

Joezinho:
I just pray these local coaches do not take us back to the dark ages where we had the likes of Oshaniwa, Chiogozie agbim, Egwuekwe, Ruben Gabriel, Uchebor, Ebenezer kunle, Uche Nwofor etc in our squad to the WC.

What I care about his result... even if they invite a player playing in Eswatini, they should sha win. Those players you mentioned got us to WC knockout so their selections have been partially justified

Zanistico:
You suppose know Nigeria and their oversabi smh. Pinnick is listening to the mumus pushing this "consortium of coaches" talk. Amuneke once said he was above being assistant to Rohr. I'm surprised he'd be accepting this job.
Na here we dey sha.

Bro...let's wait and see. Even if they like, they should bring in Many Garba and Finidi George...I just want them to beat Ghana

komekn:
I see Rodolfo Borrell, formerly Director at Liverpool academy sacked with immediate effect alongside Frank McParland, sacked by Brendan Rodgers for corruption.

so..your point is...

We do not even have enough cooks.

o boy...this is hooge

charlesemeka85:
I swear down bro, even I Dey hear say cerezo no Dey comfortable with amuneke coming as his assistant

I see clash of ego happening soon

Exactly...as a Nigerian, ego is in our blood. Make we siddon dey look

TFLASHOGEE:
there won't be no trouble everyone knows their role and they are both humbly men's who where once team mates and Eguavoen is the boss here but won't show it because the man is way respectful than you can ever imagine even the journalist who do interview him gives testimony about how simple and respectful he his to people around him and amunike is simply same

I hope so. Remember what they say about too much cooks spoiling the broth...

Am i the only one still not comfortable with this Amuneke and Eguavoen combo?

Make Dem no go dey trade blow for camp ontop who go start and who go dey bench o

At last.... Up Senegal.

I m really happy for them....

thank you

Falconets top scorer said their 3-0 home win against Cameroon yesterday was used to bless the newly refurbished MKO stadium in readiness for the Falcon's and eagle's matches.
They will be facing Senegal in the final round in March.

Still looking for highlights of the match though.

Falconet defeated Cameroon U20 today... 3-0

At least this one na consolation. Super falcons getting ready for ivory coast showdown.

The flamingos will resume camp soon for their qualifier against DR Congo.


I just say make I update una

TheLoneCitizen:
Despite Kimpebe, taking the armband that day, Messi was the captain that day.

Oldest player in the team by about 5 years.

Ronaldo is the most petty senior player you will see, but since when British media started blaming that United don't press, I've never seen him standing.

It annoys me seeing Messi standing still even after losing the ball.

Oga, I've never seen Messi press the way you're putting it. You're talking as if you started watching football yesterday. Messi doesn't press, it is his style.
And CR7 is even poor in pressing.
Come on, I didn't expect this from you mate

andrewbaba44:
So because Messi didn’t console him he has poor leadership qualities

Una don start agenda wey Una no go fit end ,so it’s compulsory Messi must concole xavi Simmons

Ronaldo that has good leadership that always get angry if he isn’t on the score sheet

Ronaldo himself missed a pk yesterday so he needs to console Elanga because if he has done his job they won’t be time for Elanga to miss a pk

What about how Cr7 doesn’t fancy Greenwood because the guy no Dey ever pass ball give am

as in eh....I just weak. CR7 is not someone you should compare to Messi as far as leadership is concerned

TheLoneCitizen:
Love Messi far more, but he has poor leadership qualities.

When 18-year-old Xavi Simmons missed his spot kick that crashed PSG out of Coupe de France, 'was watching intently to see if Messi will console him, but he just walked off.

Also unlike Ronaldo, Messi doesn't lead the press.

Didn't watch the Boro match, but here's him consoling Elanga.

wait...are you being sarcastic with this?
