Ejaria replaced Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino in the 78 minutes, bringing to 9 the number of players from Liverpool Academy that have made their debut for the first team since last season. Released by Arsenal in 2014 after nine years at the club, Beale who used to drive the Nigerian to training when he joined Liverpool newly said it’s a fantastic development that he has finally made the grade at Anfield. Beale told This Is Anfield: “It’s a fantastic achievement for Ovie to make his debut.” “Great faith is being shown in all the young players by Jurgen and his staff. Again they have shown that if a player has the ability and personality to play for our first team that opportunities will come for them.” Ovie has developed so much since he joined the academy,” praised Beale. “He has always been a lovely technical player but now he is much more mature in his decision making and in his application to his defensive duties. “He is a fantastic boy to work with both for his ability and also his desire to learn and improve. This has enabled him to make huge developments in the last 12 months.” “I am very pleased for him and his family,” added Beale. Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/09/21/7602/ |

New Paul Pogba, Ejaria Reacts After Debuting For Liverpool ![]() Ovie Ejaria was delighted to make his competitive debut for Liverpool in their 3-0 victory over Derby County in the League Cup on Tuesday night, two years after his arrival at Anfield from Arsenal. Speculations were rife at home and abroad that the central midfielder was in line to make his first appearance for the Reds when he was not selected for the U23 team in their clash with Spurs in the Premier League 2 on Monday. “good win & competitive debut..⚽️ #Godisthereason, ” tweeted Ovie Ejaria after the game at iPro Stadium.

Peter Dedevbo is male, mister.... Not "female" And don't be so quick to judge from just one side of the story. Sophia is actually smaller than the rest. She's about 5feet 1 or 2inches in height... Now that's TOO SHORT. But indeed, she's technically gifted and should have been given a chance among the 30. And uhmm... There's a falconets/flamingoes thread...

TheSuperNerd: It is his choice. That is like telling Mourinho to buy the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Mata over Drogba and Essien. The Nigerian coach likes physical players and preferred bigger players. That does not mean he is racist or bigoted. Lateef should make his choice based on what he wants, not based on the decision of one man. If he does not want to represent us, I wish him the best. |

NIGERIAN TEEN THEOPHILUS SOLOMON’S GOAL VOTED AS GOAL OF THE WEEK IN CROATIA ![]() The profile of one time Nigeria Under-23 invitee Theophilus Solomon is soaring high in Croatia with his goal in Istra’s 4-1 win over Inter Zapresic voted among the best goals of the week in the league. Solomon struck Istra’s 4th goal, which was his 4th of the season with a solo effort, using his quick feet and pace to leave his markers in their wake before side footing the ball into the net with the goalkepper going the other way. His goal was however second in the votes for goal of the week. But watchers of the league have tipped him to be a contender for player of the season and the top scorer award if he stays in the league. Nicknamed ” Nigerian Ronaldo” when he burst onto the scene in 2012 as a 16 year old in Nigeria, It has taken the former Juventus of Italy target four years to begin to deliver on the promises he showed that brought about the interest from the Serie A giants. He has battled injuries in his previous season but after last season 13 goals haul for second division side NK Sibenik. This season at Istra where he is also on loan from Rijeka, he has grown into one of the most feared forwards in the league.

[b][size=14pt] Watford helped Isaac's Eagles call-up [/size] By: Sammy Wejinya The Watford manager, Walter Mazzarri, has claimed that joining Watford helped Success Isaac get a call up to the Nigeria national team. The attacker joined the Premier League club from Spanish club Granada on June 30 for €15million but has yet to be handed a first start by Mazzarri this season. The former SSC Napoli manager however says he rates his Nigerian charge and has gone on to tip him to achieve important things in the future. “We (at Watford) are very pleased for him and we think the club helped him to get a call up. "He is a very young player and if he follows our mentality in this club, then we think he is going to have a very good future for Watford and for his national side,” Mazzarri was quoted as saying on www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk. Mazzarri was also asked his thoughts on the African Cup of Nations with two Watford players, Nordin Amrabat and Adlene Guedioura, likely to be involved in the tournament. Luckily for Mazzarri, Odion Ighalo and Isaac won't be missing any games, with Nigeria failing to qualify. "Of course it isn't good for us but these are the rules. “As a manager I would like to keep them here but we can't do anything different so we have to deal with it,” he said. ng.supersport.mobi/football/nigeria/news/160926/Watford_helped_Isaacs_Eagles_callup [/b] 1 Like |
