Now you're explaining tactics and team movement.
Who doesn't know when one full back attacks the other stays back to give support to the defence incase of a fast break.

Funny enough, in your review after the game you were all over the place slatting Elderson for not offering much in the attack. If he didn't bomb forward according to you, how come Ndidi always stayed back to offer support as a third man?

My point was that Ndidi didn't have to Dominate aerial battles because he was not in the line of fire.if he had played as a DM or a CB he would have battled with the Zambian striker Mbesuma who Omeruo tracked all game.
Except you're saying Rainford Kalaba was the Zambian target man.
You lie again.. Lol

Your point was that you made a funny statement about right-back and aerial balls. You are funny abeg you. You do not even remember how Kalaba got his Yellow card. It was in the eighteen yard box and it was Ndidi marking. So please, I have explained how Ndidi got to the line of fire. You can read stats and argue.

Leave me please. I am yet to recover from Hillary Clinton's loss.

@bolded... Hmmm... Now that u mention it!

this is not a stadium, it's a thread. People want to read other things outside a stale argument.

If na communication by mouth, that one different, you can never pass on your info to your heart's content when the person you're talking to, cannot see you face to face. Una just dey go in circles without making points

Everybody just dey skip two of una comments! Banter on something else biko, na only Onazi dey play for us? If e catch malaria tomorrow nko ?

It wasn't last night mister... It was this morning.

And I already dropped that news in the youths/cadets talents thread... so it's stale.... Tu comprends?

Still terming him Garbadiola huh?? Shows your obvious disdain for tiki taka.... No wonder you dragged the argument for so long. *smh*

Make it 8-1 like Manu Garbadiola's Eaglets were trounced last night...
@odenigboaroli and @safarigirl sorry if I've been a headache.
It was totally unintentional.

I thought our argument was about Ndidi winning aerial balls durring the game?
I can't be stupid not to know that Ndidi spent a lot of time in our own half durring the game.
When the Zambians were in the ascendancy, he dropped even deeper to curtail their furrays.
Truth was that Rohr knew Ndidi was strong aerially by knowing his stats and he proved that in training, so he got the nod to start.

Sorry about Hillary's loss. 2020 elections is just around the corner, never say never

I think in the set-up from africanfootball.com reports, Kelechi may play a kind of false 9 which can see him switch positions at will with Etebo and do his sleek build-up attacking moves with Iwobi.

When a certain Sir Zuchyblink said Etebo could strike for us, a lot of people laughed it off.... But here you are suggesting the same thing in this set-up.

safarigirl:
I don't like Kelechi as a lone striker.

Either pair him up or shift him behind Etebo while Etebo leads

I called him Garbadiola because that's what his fans call him even in the face of corrupt allegations against him.

Garbadiola and "corrupt allegations"...... Ehmm... They don't add up.

They certainly don't. The Garbadiola tag obviously has to do with his style of play and football philosophy.

And you?? A barca what?? A fan of Barca?? Looolllll... Sir Joseph1013 I know, Sir BascoVanVeli I know.... But you?? And you don't like Tiki taka?? Hahahahahaha.... I am definitely missing something...

Alampasu Turning Heads With Save After
Save In Training, Thwarts Man City Iheanacho


https://i1.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/image-23.jpg?fit=676%2C676

Nigeria youth international Dele Alampasu has
emerged as the fans favourite in Abuja, where the Super Eagles are presently training ahead of their World Cup 2018 qualifiers against Algeria in Uyo.


Alampasu one of the three goalkeppers jostling to replace injured first choice goalkepper Carl Ikeme has been impressing the coaching crew with his reflexes and confidence between the sticks.


He thrice picked out crosses with ease and
barked out instructions to his defenders like a
seasoned professional regardless of the fact that
he is the youngest goalkepper in the team.


The highlight of his performance was a strong
save from Manchester City forward Kelechi
Iheanacho who thought his effort was creeping
in, until his former U-17 teammate pulled out a
stupendous one hand save to keep him out.

He appears to be the fittest among the
goalkeppers in camp, although the experience of Daniel Akpeyi and Ikechukwu Ezenwa could give them an edge in the battle to be named between the sticks for Nigeria against Algeria.

I am just devastated by the result of the elections. Feel like not going to the office this morning. I wonder what the future holds for minorities in this America. Chai!!

Battle For Second Choice Goalkepper Intensifies As Rohr Drops Big Hint On First Choice

https://i1.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/image-23.jpg?fit=676%2C676


The battle for who will be on the bench as the
reserve goalkepper when Nigeria take on Algeria
this weekend will move to a whole new height in
the coming days as the game approaches.

Already coach Gernot Rohr speaking yesterday
dropped a line that suggest he is already looking
towards who will be his first choice with
Ikechukwu Ezenwa currently favoured.

Daniel Akpeyi and Dele Alampasu are the other
two goalkeppers in the camp of the team ahead
of the November 12 game, but it appears the
German coach has partly made up his mind as to who will be between the sticks.


During yesterday’s session Ezenwa was put
through special drills by goalkeeper trainer Alloy
Agu while Alampasu and Akpeyi were involved in
full scale training with the rest of the squad.


”We have a goalkepper who has been with us for some time now, he has played test games for us against local sides. That alone is an edge but we have to consider other factors as well before
settling on who will be in goal” He told
Owngoalnigeria.com during a chat before their
training.

Alloy Agu. I am looking one eye to look at you. There reason why I pointed drills is because I knew Alloy Agu went through a lot of it and knows how to do it. If drills is what Alloy wants to use as his pick, put all the keepers through it and select the best.

Mbok Alloy, I am not in a good mood. (Heartbroken)

Thanks for the apology. Do you have statistical connection for me to send Hillary Clinton flowers. I want her to know I care.

The statistical connection is that today being 9/11 Donald Trump won the elections.
I don't know what the numbers are saying with the date and a Donald Trump presidency.
Ask Hilary to run again in 2020, the stats say she will be 74yrs old. Which is right about the age Buhari won...
You see, stats is not such a bad thing.

DAY 2: Leon Balogun, Alampasu, Victor Moses & Iheanacho Lead Top Performers In Eagles Training

https://i0.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/image-24.jpg?fit=2048%2C1536



Owngoalnigeria.com covered the second day of
training of the Super Eagles which took place at
the training pitch of the National Stadium Abuja,
ahead of their clash with Algeria on Saturday.
As it is our usual tradition, we bring to you the
five players who were very impressive during the session, under the watchful eyes of coach Gernot Rohr.



Leon Balogun

The Main O5 defender returned back to training
with the fitness of an Ox, he was very commanding in the defence, tackled with ease
and was very domineering in the air. He came
close to scoring with a well hit drive which
brought out a strong save from Daniel Akpeyi. His performance will no doubt put to rest any fear regarding his fitness and readiness for Saturday’s clash.



Victor Moses

The Chelsea wingback was simply un-playable to the defender who were up against him, extremely confident with the ball at his feet, full of movement without the ball with an energy level which shouldn’t be a surprise judging by his role as a wing back at Chelsea. His mazy runs from either flanks will no doubt be a cause of concern for the Algerians if he gets to play.



Kelechi Iheanacho

Another training session, another goal and
another performance to be proud off. He was very very good in front of goal. Not scared of shooting and once again his link up play with Brown Ideye and Alex Iwobi was top notch. Sure to be a mainstay in this team if he maintains his current progress.



John Ogu
Strong, combative and creative. His forward
range of passes were a beauty to behold. His
aerial abilities was also a point he stressed and
excelled in during the session. Ogu although
didn’t get into goal scoring position that much.

He lookes every inch a player playing with a
grudge or rather a point to prove judging by his
work rate and contributions during the session.


Dele Alampasu

For the second day running the CD Feirense
loanee proved his invitation is no fluke at all. He
was impressive, brave, commanding and full of
confident. The 2013 U-17 best goalkepper was
very good at claiming crosses into the box, and
his constant barking of instructions to his
defenders kept his backline organised.

The highlight of his performance was a smart stop from Iheanacho.

Be fair joor.... It's the reverse 11/9. 9/11 was during the time of George bush... That's the connection.

9/11 = 11/9 **I no insinuate anytin ooo** Just showing the "mirror" effect

Get over it and go about your normal business.
Hilary or Trump Presidency wouldn't change the fact that America will still carry on warmongering and sticking their noses in other people’s business while their own go hungry and without.
Same sh!t, just a different day.

lol, I doubt it's half as bad as most of you are making it out to seem.

Was on a black forum, and the way the posters were making it out like thw Apocalypse had begun made me laugh. It's not like Trump will set dogs and white supremacists on everyone who isn't fully white.

At leqst he's more honest about his intentions than Hillary, egen that one is a closet ravist

The fears are genuine. He has empowered white supremacists to be more vocal. Closet racists have come out of their crevices. There will almost certainly be increased attacks on minorities.

Why,if I may ask?

Most of you guys who are rating Alampasu ahead of Ezenwa doesn't watch the Nigerian league and your knowledge of Alampasu's abilities comes largely from his performance at the u17 world cup.

And suddenly, we are discussing the US elections..... On a soccer thread.

What's wrong with these people?

https://lonerwolf.com/wp-content/uploads/sapientology/head-support.jpg

Despite my normally busy schedule, I watch and follow the league well oooo.... So no even go there... Loollll

Alampasu is "more gifted" than Ezenwa. Emphasis is on "giftedness" and "Potential"... Abi no be wetin u talk... U said "most gifted"

hi house eku trump o

@safarigirl thanks for the info

seems rohr is thinking of starting etebo but in what role AMF?, SS? the times i have seen etebo his attacking forays from midfield have always stood him out. don't know if he can operate in an advanced attacking position with alot of attention from opposition defenders.

i don't if rohr also is interested in playing shehu abdullahi in the LB. he's decent going up and down the flanks but i don't know how good his left foot is.

@supernerd yeah it's kinda defensive but i'm sure there's enough attacking potential to do damage to the algerians

this one alampasu is shining in training will rohr pick him hmmm fingers crossed

Speaking of Algeria's regulars, there'll be No El-hilel Soudani, no Ryad Boudebouz and now.... No Faouzi Ghoulam. I earlier reported he was 50-50..... Na wa oooo...... Meanwhile, the called-up Yaccine Benzia is a very good player. He stars for Lille. Bennaccer is of Arsenal.

ALGERIA SUFFER ANOTHER INJURY BLOW
AFTER NAPOLI ACE GHOULAM OPTS OUT


https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2016/11/Faouzi_Ghoulam_Algeria_CAN_.jpg

Algeria international left-back Faouzi Ghoulam

Napoli and Algeria defender Faouzi Ghoulam has
been ruled out of Saturday’s World Cup qualifier
in Nigeria after he suffered a groin injury.


Twenty-five-year-old left back Ghoulam has been an injury concern and now it has been
announced he is out of the clash in Uyo and will
not be on the flight to Nigeria on Thursday.


Ghoulam’s withdrawal has made it increasingly
difficult for coach Georges Leekens to line up a
formidable after three top players were also lost to injuries earlier this week.


Midfielders Rachid Ghezzal and Ryad Boudebouz
as well as striker Hilal Soudani opted out of the
World Cup qualifier in Nigeria on account of
injury.

Ghezzal and Boudebouz were examined by Algeria team doctors before they were excused from the training camp, while Dynamo Zagreb striker Soudani did not even fly down to Algiers.


They have since been replaced by Baghdad
Bounedjah, Yassine Benzia and Ismael Bennacer.

EAGLES FIRE BLANKS IN FINAL TRAINING
MATCH IN ABUJA


https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2016/11/Samm_28_Mar_2.jpg

Alex Iwobi

The probables cancelled out the possibles to a
goalless draw in the Super Eagles final training
Wednesday morning in Abuja ahead of this
weekend’s World Cup clash against Algeria.

The 23-man squad will head out to match venue Uyo later today.

The two-a-side match was very competitive with the likes of Victor Moses and Alex Iwobi catching the eye with their displays, while for the second team goalkeeper Dele Alampasu pulled off several saves.


South Africa-based goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi was in goal for the first team and now looks set to be in goal in place of the injured Carl Ikeme on Saturday.

It was a role he played in March against Egypt in Alexandria in a 2017 AFCON qualifier.

Coach Gernot Rohr, who refereed the training
match, showed his hand with his selection of
players for both the first and second teams.
Shehu Abdullahi played at right back, while
Kenneth Omeruo was played at left back ahead of late comer Elderson Echiejile.

NFF Ban Media And Super Eagles Supporters From Thursday Training Session


https://allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/43652Musa.jpg

Ahmed Musa in training in Abuja

The Super Eagles next training session will be
shut to the press and supporters of the national
team, the Nigeria Football Federation have
ordered.

It is believed that Franco-German coach Rohr
plans to use Thursday afternoon’s workout, which begins at 1600 hours, to perfect his strategies for the World Cup qualifier against Algeria, and the media will not be allowed to witness the session unlike what happened on Tuesday on Wednesday.


On Wednesday morning, Rohr tried out the
starting eleven he has in mind against the North
Africans when they faced the second team in a
practice game which ended goalless.

The Nigerian Federation have compensated the
media, with a press conference scheduled to hold at Le Meridien Hotel, starting from 1200 hours on Thursday.


The 23 players in camp and officials will arrive the Akwa Ibom State capital later today.

I'm really scared people. Super Eagles are still lacking in both full back departments. Musa Muhammed overlaps, Echiejile isn't at his best, and to make matters worse, Algerian wingers are very good. so good opposition wingers + our weak full backs = many crosses coming into our box. now i trust our central defenders, Balogun and Troost Ekong, but they have a big job on their hands in stopping a Slimani who specializes in scoring with his head.

Therefore, getting a good result may very well depend on our full backs putting in a good performance. *sigh* i wish we had a younger Taiye Taiwo, cost left back is where most of the trouble lies

the same way closet tribalists came out of their cave after Buhari's win and were preaching a genocide against the Igbo race?

Maybe there will be incidences in redneck populated areas, but just like I said, hardly as bad as most of you are predicting it. Last last, shey you get your Nigerian passport?
