Super Eagles Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr is confident about this team’s chances of qualifying for the 2018 World cup in Russia based on the “hunger” shown by the young players in the team

Nigeria have started their qualifying campaign on a positive note beating Zambia in Ndola and Algeria in Uyo and are currently sitting atop the table with 6 points

And while Rohr is not deceived that all is done he believes the intense desire for success is an extra motivation for his “young eagles “ and will help them achieve their aim of playing at the Mundial

These are trying times for Odion Ighalo

From once holding the record of highest goal scorer in 2015 in the English Premier league the Nigerian is on the brink of a total career meltdown

Ighalo became the darling of Watford fans as he scored 17 goals in 42 games last season to help the Vicarage Road side finish 13th in the top flight and reach the FA Cup semi-final.

Now the goals have dried up and the Nigerian striker has managed only six in this calendar year – just three of those coming in the Premier League giving genuine cause for worry

Not who but what is Etebo. The lad isn’t human. Totally imperious. Ran the pitch ragged for 90mins. We all see Etebo as a dynamic forward. Yet Rohr used him as a DM and he Excelled. Guess we owe Siasia an apology for using him in the position against Egypt. So what really is his best position now?
