Twitter tears into Redknapp after Victor
Moses faux pas




Jamie Redknapp was given a torrent of abuse
after referring to Nigerian Victor Moses, 25, as a
“young English talent getting a chance” at
Chelsea.



The pundit made the comment as part of Sky
Sports’ coverage of the Blues’ 2-0 victory at
Southampton and was promptly ridiculed on
Twitter for his big blunder.

Moses, meanwhile has admitted he is enjoying his new wing-back role and thanked his team-mates for helping him adapt so easily.


“I have not played there before but I have just
got to listen to what the manager asks me to do
in that position, and the way he wants me to do
it,” Moses said.


“Every game we play I just want to keep on
improving. The more games you play, the more
experience you get in that position. I’m really
relishing it at the moment and enjoying it.

“It’s very important to understand your team-
mates. I have got Cesar Azpilicueta there, the
spare right-back, who is behind me, and he
communicates with me and really helps me out to make sure I am in the right position.

“Defensively we all work as a unit in training and every day in training the manager is on top of us to make sure we are solid. He’s also very helpful on the touchline. He talks to you to make sure you’re in the right position.

Why is no one talking about Ahmed Musa? I know that we have good players like V.Moses and M.Simon who can also play in his position but his apace dribbles, ability to cut inside the box and so on can be very useful against the Algerians. He is a fearless/intrepid player that can score and perform well even against the toughest and impenetrable defense in the world. He is a player that gets going even when it is getting tough. The sturdy Argentine defense conceded two fantabulous goals from him in the erstwhile world cup, we saw how it was almost unfeasible for other teams/players to score against Argentina in that world cup.

And also, his recent laudable club form depicts that he deserves to start or feature as a second half substitute.

Victor Moses is English though. He played for English youth teams.

So Ebuehi rejected his invitation:

“I see it as a great honor that I am noted in my homeland,”

“But at this moment ADO Den Haag requires my full attention. Especially now that I am settled in the team. Therefore, it doesn’t seems to me like the right time to travel to Nigeria for the match. I want to focus completely on the club . but I certainly do not rule out playing for Nigeria in the future, if the next time am called up ”

Another player probably holding out for a dutch call-up... Would he have said that if Holland called him?

He should have been contacted before releasing the list.

Siasia camped home based lads for about two weeks before the foreign guys arrived.

TheSuperNerd:
Then he chased them all out when the foreign guys arrived...

TheGoodJoe:
I do not know this match fitness stuff Rohr talks about. Call-up some home based lads that can play that role and drill them in camp until the others arrive.

The screen them with the so called match fit lads.

tbaba1234:


Homebased players are on holiday. Not everyone trains during the holiday. Some will need more than two weeks to be fully fit. Also, you can not just invite two or three players to be training.

TheGoodJoe:


At least, they gained from the experience. With continuous moves like that, we can discover rare gems.

TheGoodJoe:


For the role. I already stated for the role. Right back.

Are you going to set up a camp for 2 weeks for just 1 or 2 right backs that you are looking at?

TheGoodJoe:


When you want something, you take actions.

It is a waste of resources to camp 1-2 player for two weeks just to get them fit.

Why Dutch Nigerian Ebuehi Turn Down
Super Eagles Invitation For Algeria Tie



Freshly invited Dutch born Nigerian full back
Tyronne Ebuehi has rejected the immediate
opportunity to commit his international future to
Nigeria by insisting on improving his club form for ADO Den Haag.


Ebuehi was among the list of players called up by Nigeria for the World Cup 2018 qualifiers, but the 20 year old has turned down the invitation,
although he didn’t rule out playing for Nigeria in
the future.


Born to Nigerian parent in Holland, they are fears that the boy is under pressure from the Dutch football authorities to wait for his time with the Dutch national team instead of playing for Nigeria.


“I see it as a great honor that I am noted in my
homeland,” says Ebuehi.

“But at this moment ADO Den Haag requires my full attention. Especially now that I am settled in the team. Therefore, it doesn’t seems to me like the right time to travel to Nigeria for the match. I want to focus completely on the club . but I certainly do not rule out playing for Nigeria in the future, if the next time am called up ” He told the club official website.

TheGoodJoe:


The field is not closed. They book a hotel for four or five and he drills. Even though is a week.

Well, as for me, we can not quantify how important winning this game is.

I think Omeruo can do a decent job on that wing. After the game, we can look at other options.

TheSuperNerd:
I agree. Omeruo should be used as R.B. For the game if Musa can't be trusted for that game.

After the game, we look expansively at our options. Hopefully, Moses Odubajo will be back after his six months layoff by April/May next year.

He's the answer to our rightback role but injuries is just delaying the "inevitable".

Musa Mohammed will grow to be prominent in that role too but firstly need to sort out his club issues by january.

Brian Idowu is another in the long run alongside Ehizibue (provided he too doesn't do an Ebuehi).

Dominic Iorfa Jnr is yet another. Haba!

Anyway, for now... It has to be Omeruo for Algeria unless Rohr wanna take the risk with "braveheart" Musa.

Or "under unlikely terms", it could be Victor moses as Right back and Simon/Musa Ahmed as the right AMF/Winger.

Na wa ooo... What a headache for Rohr...

tbaba1234:


I am sure, Ebuehi was contacted before the invitation. Maybe he didn't expect it to come so soon. He is playing for his team regularly and does not want an injury that will derail his progress
