Was surprised Chidera chose to take it. Maybe Manu is training more spot kick takers.

OK.. That's good....10x for the updates

chidera eze has always been an average player. The guy is really very lucky. No special talent to me.

Are you watching the match or are you judging him from the missed penalty kick??.

Not sure I agree with you. He is a good player. His ball awareness seem to have improved too, thanks to foreign training, I guess.

How many of us remember Rabiu Alli of the Home Based Eagles fame with Keshi? He was frustrated in this match. His ineffectiveness was so much that he had to be substituted.

Well, what can we say? Who wouldn’t be frustrated playing against a Tiki Taka Team? Its like being sent on a never-ending errand back in school days grin

. These boys are just too good grin

Re: Flying Eagles of Nigeria Thread: U-20 World Cup (New Zealand 2015) by zoboizee: 4:50pm On Jan 26, 2015*

More might be injured. The league teams play more of physical football than technique, u see them hitting the ball with power rather than simple pass. There style is miss ball dnt miss the leg. was thinking awoniyi but omego, too sad!

Awoniyi with a goal and an assist, Suleiman Abdullahi with a goal, Musa Mohammed with an own goal and Chidera Ezeh missing a spot kick. Kano Pillars have nothing to complain about. They were well beaten.

Good game for the Manu Garba boys.

Garba Manu, Coach of the Flying Eagles on Post-Match Conference says his players played against worthy Nigerian league champions who played a compact passing game and hopes Pillars will learn some lessons from his boys. LOL

Garba...It was not an easy victory. For me, it was a sweet victory especially beating Federation Cup champions and league champions.

Taiwo Awoniyi...My playing outside the country hasn't affected my play and I give God the glory for the goal I scored today. I have missed some goal opportunities but very happy to have scored today

Manu Garba on the Clubs... So far so good. I believe the clubs will improve as they go on and Pillars and Enyimba will do very well as they are the strongest teams in the country. Both teams have been assessing their players and they will eventually get the best
